TEXAS CAR EXHIBIT.
Disposition Of the Advertising Sent
From Waco.

CoRYDEN, Ind, May 10, 1892.
S. Il; Pope Secretary Board of Trade, Waco,
DEAR SrR:-Through the courtesy
of the Cotton Bit officials we are in
receipt of large amount of Waco
advertising matter which is going out
in every package handed to visitors
and | am sure is doing cork for Waco.
The Geyser City with its artesisu
wells flowing millions of gallons a day
is certainly a surprise to northern peo-
pie where the impression has long
prevailed that Texas was "dry state.
Such a super abundance of pure
water rs shown by your advertising
and the large painting which we have
had with us ever since we left your
city goes far to correct this false i'm
preston and Is of great benefit to the
whole state. If your Board of Citi-
zens wish to send us more advertiser q
or Waco papers whioh are al
ways acceptable, please for
ward same to PrincetowD, Indiana.
WDeGe We Will De Ill dUOuO TWO Weeks
We are making from one to two
towns per day but spent about a week
in the three cities of Louisville, KY,
New Albany aud Jacksonville, Ind,
whose population aggregates 100000
or more, We were cordially received
both by the people and by the press,
the Courier Journal and the CONNER
cial also Indiana papers giving us one
or two column write up each which is
style of advertising we get free
wherever we go, but is of immense
value to the state of Texas as can be
readily seen. We have retained and
preserved in scrap book over 14G,-
900 lines much of it editorial matter
in praise of the Texas Exhibit and Of
Texas This with from one to two
thousand pounds of Texas reading
matter given out daily will bear fruit
in the way of immigration to Texas
for many years to come.
Cordially Yours.
w. B SLossoN, Director.

viii Not Turn Loose.

The Royal barber shop is still
strictly in it so far as the most expert
artists, the sharpest razors and the bes,
cosmetics are concerned, and the fact
that no Texan, whether for Clark or
Hogg, will ever be turned loose after
taking a seat in one of the comfortable
chairs Of this establishment till he is
tenderly and closely shaver, to his en-
tire satisfaction, can be YOU he'd for
by its many patrons.

treated her three weeks without bene-
fit. A neighbor insisted upon my try

lieved her from the first desc and she
began gaining flesh rapidly, when we

entirely disappeared. | would not be

oRAY HAIRS.
Aged Locks Do Nos Always Indicate q
Decaysd Consultation.

Decaysd Constitution.
The fact that some persons begin to
show gray hairs while IN their TWEEN
lies do not indicate premature deca Y
Of the constitution. 1t is purely local
phenomenon, and often co-exists with
great physical vigor. A medical jour
nal says: Many persons and others
who have suffered extremely, both
mentally and physically, do not blanch
a hair until past middle life; while
Others. without sssignable cause lose
their capillary coloring-matter rapidly
when about forty years of age.
Race has marked influence. The
traveller, DR.. orbigny, says that in
many years he spent in South America
he never saw bald Indian, and scarce
ly ever a gray-headed one. The ne
gres turn more slowly than the whites.
In this country sex appears to make
little difference. Men and women
Grow gray about the same period of
slfe. In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one is usually
darker than the other for several
years, but there seems no general rule
rs to which whitens first.
The spot where grayness begins diff
fers with the individual The phil
osopher Schopenhauer began to turn
gray on the temples, and complacently
framed a theory that this indicates
vigorous mental activity.
The correlation of gray hairs, as
well as its causes, deserve more atten-
tive study than they have received.
SSuch change is undoubtedly indica-
tive of some deep-s Gated physiological
process; but what this is we can only
ascertain after more extensive observa-
tons than have yet been submitted to
science.

A new land-cIearing machine has
been invented, the principle being to
root up all weeds and pass them at
once through a double blast fire by
means of travelling engine. Tho
frame is mounted on four travelling
wheels, upon which a steam engine is
fixed. On the right side of the engine
Is blower and on the left is brick
heath fitted in an iron frame, which
fcfRns a fire retainer.
By gradual incline the weeds are
elevated to the fire retainer, which is
kept up to great heat by blast from
the blower, and after passing the FIRE
the ashes are deposited on the soil.
The engine is said to be capable of
cleaning four to eight acres per day in
thorough manner, and at less cost
than is possible with hand labor.

All Hindoos believe in witehcraft. and
IN strange contrast to the old believers
in witchery, they believe that young and
pretty maidens are the chief actors in
such pncanhy mummery. If crops are
blighted, or If a general sickness pre-
walls, they write the names of all the
young women of the vicinity on sepa-
rate tree branches and then immerse
the stems of the twigs for four hours
In holy water and aromatic herbs. If
one or more of the twigs wither during
the specified time the young women
whose name or names is attached there
to is Immediately put to death. Thus,
the witch is counteracted, the crops
saved and health restored.

Fired Just right
Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, by
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take only one little Pellet

and regulate the system thoroughly
but its done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill You can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money IS re-

elegantly to the figure. The bifurca-
ton is not up the whole leg,
the great width making itunnecessary,
and that gives a great fullness from the
hips down and causes the garment to
hang off instead of cling to the foim
when wet. The device seems to be in
genious. The idea was present in the
suits of last season, but 1t has been de-
veloped.

the shoulder seams. The sailor collar
extends in front to the belt, and the
sleeves are longer than last year to pro
tect the upper arms from the sun. The
skirt is two yards round; is gathered or
plated, without cores, and reaches
just over the knee. The drawers are
five or six inches longer than the skirt
and of good width at the knee. They

them very slightly, but for the most
part they are straight, with decora-

Much of the success depends on the
cloth. a storm serge is used which,
being wit out dressing, is somewhat
stiff and sheds water easily. There is
a rumor that the climax of study in
this direction is to appear later, in the
shape OF the hoop skirt, not of wires,
but of silk, so woven, or dressed, or
both, as to hang out like ballet skirt
though drenched with water.
The fabrics that will bear frequent

THE VICTORIOUS ANTS.


How the sagaoious Little Creatures
Finally Reached the Sugar.
One morning a gentleman of many
scientific attainments sat quietly and
alone at his breakfast Presently he
noticed that some large black ants
were making free with the contents OF
the sugar bowl. He drove them away,
but they soon returned, seemingly un-
willing to leave their sweetened feast.
Again they were dispersed, only to re-
turn in increased numbers. There was
a lamp hook directly above the center
of the table, and to try their ingenuity,
the gentleman suspended the sugar
bowl to the hook with a cord, allow
ing it to swing clear of the table about
an inch. First the sagacious little
creatures tried to reach it by standing
on each others backs. After repeated
efforts, all of which were failures,
they went away and it was supposed
that they had given up in despair.
Within a surprisingly short time. how
ever, they were seen descending the
cord by dozens and dropping them
selves into the sugar-bowl. They had
scaled the wall, traversed the ceiling
and discovered another road 10 the
