Years ago when our fathers were little
boys it was the custom of people to apply
grease of one kind or another to the head,
as evidenced by the spots against the
wall paper which used to indicate where
the heads of the members of the fam.
lily or their visitors had come into con.
tact with it. 1t was supposed in those daya
that grease eradicated dandruff and would
keep the average swan's coat collar free
from the disgusting stuff, but that was mis-.
take. In recent years the practice of using
grease has almost entirely disappeared,
but the heads of the people are still uncared
for to very great extent. Nothing could
be more unwise, for unless the hair is prop
erly treated it will not grow with luXurance,
and the presence of dandruf is always an
indication of disorder. If people would but
study the little pamphlet of Joseph Burnett
Co., 81 India St., Boston, Mass, which they
send free, entitled '"The Hair, It's Care and
Management" they would gain some very
valuable information on the subject. They
would learn that the hair can be made to
grow, the scalp kept clean and free from
dandruff, by the most delightfully."- pleasant
application possible, which is nothing less
than preparation called "Cocoaine."
Those who have any hair left which they
desire to preserve should send for this
pamphlet. 1t will be mailed free of charge.

One evening not long ago St. Joseph

ciety,. started out to call on young lady
who lives in the eastern part Of the city.
The young man had but recently met the
charmer and had never been to see her. He
did not anticipate any difficulty, however,
in finding the young lady's home, as he had
received careful directions from those who
had been there. In due time he arrived in
the neighborhood in which the young lady
lived. He was undecided as to the exact
house he was seeking, but after some hesita.
ton he selected that which he felt positive
was the. young lady's place of abode. A
ring Of the bell brought a big darby nanny
to the door.
Is Miss Gertrude in?" queried the caller.
Eyes, sir; step in" was the answer, and
the young man was ushered into the paror
II seems that he was too deeply engrossed
with anticipations Of pleasure to follow to
make close scrutiny, else he would have OBJ
served that surroundings were not just what
he had reason to expect. After few mo.
ments the young man was aroused by a
deep and powerful voice, Enthusiastically that
OF the negro nanny, and it's tone left no
question of the relationship between the
speaker and the person called.
"Gertie, dar's man in here what wants
to see yo'.''
In a moment "Gertie," who resembled the
ace OF spades in color, came into the room
and the young man fainted.-St. Joseph

death upon them, and each singing
louder than the other, to avoid remark.
For in these fits he was the most over
riding companion ever known; he
would slap his hand on the table for ST.
lence all round; he would fly up in pas
sion OF anger at a question, or some
times because none was put and so he
judged the company was not following
his story. Nor would he allow anyone
to leave the inn till he had drunk him
self sleepy and reeled off to bed.
His stories were what frightened peo-
pie worst of all. Dreadful stories they
were; about hanging, and walking the
plank, and storms at sea, and the Dry
Tortugas, and wild deeds and places on
the Spanish main. By his own account,
he must have lived his life among some
of the wickedest men that God ever al
lowed upon the sea; and the language
in which he told these stories shocked
our plain country people almost as
much as the crimes that he described.
My father was always saying the inn
would be ruined, for people would soon
cease coming there to be tyrannized
over and put down, and sent shivering
to their beds; but really believe his
presence did us good. People were
frightened at the time, but on looking
back they rather liked it; it was fine

ruin us; for he kept on staying week
after week, and at last month after
month, so that all the money had been
long exhausted, and still my father
never pluclaed up the heart to insist on
having more. If ever he mentioned it,

loudly that you might say he roared,

room. have seen him wringing his
hands after such rebuff, and am sure
the annoyance and the terror he lived
in must have greatly hastened his early
and unhappy death.

"MY WIFE'S LIFE. :
How / was the means
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked aud the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. II Is happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case Of Mr.. X. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sug-
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"seven years ago. my wife had severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced. consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially. at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting Of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, in
duced her to try DR.: Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, SO that now she is strong aud
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife's life I have not the least doubt.

annoyance when it blew. I remember
the appearance of his coat, which he
patched himself upstairs in his room,
and which, before the end, was nothing
but patches. He never wrote or re-
ceived letter, and he never spoke with
any but the neighbors, and with these,
for the most part, only when drunk on
rum. The great sea-chest none of us
had ever seen open. -
He was only once crossed, and thatwas
toward the end, when my poor father
was far gone in decline that took him
off. DR.. Livesey came late one after
noon to see the patient, took bit of
dinner from my mother, and went into
the parlor to smoke pipe until his
horse should come down from the ham
let, for we had no stabling at the old
Benbow. I followed him in, and re-
member observing the contrast the
neat, bright doctor, with his powder as
white as snow, and his bright, black
eyes and pleasant manners, made with
the coltish country folk, and, above all
with that filthy, heavy, bleared scare
crow of pirate of ours, sitting far gone
in rum, with his arms on the table. Sud-
denly he-the captain, that is-began
to pipe up his eternal song:
Fifteen men on the dead mans chest
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and bottle of rum"
At first had supposed "the dead
mans chest" to be that identical big
box of his upstairs in the front room,
and the thought had been mingled in
my Nightmares with that of the one
legged seafaring man. But by this time
we had all long ceased to pay any par
ticular notice to the song; it was new,
that night, to nobody but DR.. Livesey,
and on him I observed that it did not
produce an agreeable effect, for he
looked up for moment quite angrily
before he went on with his talk to old
Taylor, the gardener, on new cure for
rheumatics. In the meantime the cap
tain gradually frightened up at his
own music, and at last tapped his hand
upon the table before him in way we
all knew to mean-silence. The voices
stopped at once, all but DR.. Livesey's;
he went on as before, speaking clear
and kind, and drawing briskly at his
pipe between every word or two. The
captain glared at him for awhile,
tapped his hand again, glared still
harder, and at last broke out with a
villainous, low oath: SILENCE, there
between decks!"
"Were you addressing me, sir?" says
the doctor; and when the ruffian had
told him, with another oath, that this
