I'm the School Exhibitions !

In the School Exhibitions.)
Mister ''Soldier of the LEGION" you are dying
in Algiers,
And the boy upon "the burning deck" is
shedding bitter tears,
And we're getting closer-closer to the Ho-
henlinden fight,
And We really fear that Curfew's going to
ring again tonight!
Sir John Moore will be buried in his ancient
soldiers coat,
While not drum is beating and we hear no
funeral note;
And Mary, known to all the girls so very
long ago.
Will lead us out that "little lamb" whose
fleece was white as snow"
And Cato will tell Plato that he reasons vety
well,
While Hamlet on the future in solilloquy
will dwell,
And we'll hearken on the hilltops and We'll
listen IN the glade
To the wonder and the thunder of the charg-
ing "Light Brigade!''
But come, old friends! and lead US to the
meadows far away,
For the boys who rang the Curfew once are
getting old and gray,
And Death, the reckless reaper, is thinning
out the Ghe;
But in dreams they drift to Bingen-to
'Bingen on the Rhine!"
Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

A Three Eyed Man.

A funny story is current at Paris con-
cerning the expedition of Lieutenant

seems that he took along with him IL

and their enthusiasm for the three

Partisan servant of the baron to con-
ceive the bright idea of wearing an

that all the native ladies forsook their

was u lively demonstration on the part

The fire broke out in one of the

was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evening from
goods saved. and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work in var

OF men were cleaning away the wreck

The actual damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars: the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion

these inconveniences are the cause of vel
low clothes, and faded garments Strong

mothers, and the cheap laundry soap found
IN the village stores half century ago was

learned to make hard rubbing do the work
which good soap should have done But in
this age of progress labor-saving appli-
ances are used by intelligent women, and
IN no place do they count for more than in
the laundry. After asserting the clothes,
put the linens in tub nearly full of hot
water, and rub them with Ivory Soap as
each piece is washed, it should be wrung
out, and placed in a clean tub. When all
are washed pour boiling water over, and
let stand until cool, then rinse, and starch
the clothes. After the linens are washed,
the white wearing clothes should be washed
in the same way, then the colored garments
taken through fresh suds, nsed. starched,
and hung on the line. When dry each

LEGEND OF THE MAGf.

The legend of the Wise Men of the
East, or as they are styled in the orr
ginal Greek. "the three Magi," became,
under monkish influence, one Of the
most popular during the midSie ages.
The Scripture nowhere informs us that
these individuals were kings, or their
number restricted to three. The legend
converts the magi into kings, gives their
names and minute account of their
stature and the nature of their
gifts. Melchior, we are thus told. was
king OF Nubie. the smallest man of the
triad, and he gave the Savior a gift
OF gold. Balthazar was king of Chal-
dea, and he offered incense; he was
man of ordinary stature. But the third,
Jasper, king of Tarshish, was of high
stature, "a black Ethiope." and he gave
myrrh. All came with many rich Or
naments belonging to kings array, and
{ with multitude of people to do hom-
age to the Savior. then little child 10
days old"
The barbaric pomp involved In this
legend made it favorite with artists
during the middle ages. The picture Of
"The Offering of the Magi," which we
/ publish. is from circular plate Of sill
yer chased in high relief and partly
gilt, which is supposed to have formed
the center of a morse or large brooch,
used to fasten the decorated cope Of an
ecclesiastic in the latter part of the
fourteenth century.

,sidered the burial place of the three

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
How badness begins.
How to prevent it.


Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
OF age and Is serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped. and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows In the scalp like a plant in the
soil. II a plant fiourishes, it must have
constant attention; Il must be watered
regularly. and find its food In the soil
where It Is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect Is usually the beginning Of bald
ness. Daudruf is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
hciently nourished. begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give 1t strength,
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth. All this Is done by DR.. Ayers
Hair vigor, the most practical and valua-
BILE preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruf, stops the hair from falling,
