Infallible for renewing, invigorating and
identifying the hair, removing scurf, dandruff,
and all affections Of the scalp, and curing erup-
tons of the skin, diseases of the glands muscles
and integuments, and relieving stings, cuts,
Jr,lises, sprains, etc. The affinity between the
membranes which constitute the skin and the
hair which draws its sustenance from this triple
tenvelope is very close. All diseases Of the hair
originate in the skin of the head. II the pores
of the scalp are cogged, or If the blood and other
fluids do not circulate freely through the small
vessels which feed the roots with moisture and
impart life to the fibres, the result is scurf,
dandruf, shedding of the hair, grayness, dryness
and harshness Of the ligaments, and entire bald
ness. as the case may be. Stimulate the skin to
healthful action with Barry's TricOpher.
Gus, and the torpid vessels, recovering their
activity, will annihilate the disease. In all
affections of the skin and of the substrata Of
muscles and integuments the process and the
effec are the same. 1t is upon the skin, the
muscular fibre, and the glands that Barryss
has its specific action, and
in all affections and injuries of these organs it

He was trying case In which
J a witness swore that he could not fix the
exact time Of particular event, because
he had left his watch at home accident
ally. The counsel was rather sceptical
about this, whereupon the Judge said,
There is nothing unusual In that.
Why, only this morning l left my watch
on the dressing table and did not recol-
lect it till, before entering the court,
wanted to find out the time" When
the Judge got home he found that a
messenger had visited the house, men
toned the Judges forgetfulness, de-
scribed where the watch was, and asked
for 1t to take to the owner. Then the
J udge.remembered what he had said In

against the shop window, allowing his
bag to crash through the large plate OF

out and energetically demands that the

that he cannot and will not pay, and an

At this juncture there steps out from

Yet the city Is very we'll behaved,
much better than il used 10 be in the
eld days, AS well aS any city Of so many
peOple. One reason I saw on Sunday,
hen Q big platoon of fine looking
policemen marched out from the station
bOuSe to change patrols with another
Que looking platoon just going in. Mr..
AcKaneiS Superintendent Of Police
Besides being Supervisor % the town,
I'D the builder of most of the big
h0telS. The town of Gravesend, which
bwns the beach, pays for the police
force and the roads and the water
Works, and has money left to pay for
Is schools, out Of the rentals received
Ipr what was not so very long ago a
ForthlesS strip of sand.
A bewlldcring and delightful maze OF
het, women, children, photographers,
Sausages, wooden cows,
Which give real milk, wooden Gle
that, iron piers which are splendid for
Babies to sit under and burrOw in the
hand, pcddlerS, hOkey-pOkey men, res
taur0ntS, side shows, railroad stations,
Bar rooms, tobOggan slides, clam chow
lerS and the glorious sea near at hand
THAT is Coney Island in this year OF
