Ough Trial.
There is only one test by which to
Judge of the efficiency of any article
and that is by it's ability to do that
which it is intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point is-do they eradicate Dan
druff and stop falling hair?
Mo, they do not, but Herpicide does,
because it goes to the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets its
life.

where are daily proving that Newbro's

Rebuking q Host.

While in Canada lord and lady Lans-
downe pleased the Canadian people by
their friendly and unassuming man
ners, which were in marked contrast
to those of former governors-general
and their wives. 1t Is related that at
a garrison ball at Halifax the colonel
of the regiment that was giving the
dance came up to Lady Lansdowne
and said: LADY Lansdowne, won't
you give me dance, please? I'm
tired Of dancing with these silly little
colonial girls. They have no style.
believe I'm engaged to one Of them
for the next dance, but you might be
kind enough to rescue me-" Lady
Lansdowne replied, In tones loud
enough for everybody to hear, that the
colonel was unfit to associate with any
decent people, colonial or otherwise,
and concluded: "If this is the way you
treat your guests, will relieve you Of
the presence of one Of them at once"
Then she ordered her carriage and left
the ball.

A nuslne.s Epitaph.

Amusing epftaphs are not difficult
to find If one is seeking them. The
Cheshire Republican cites a most sim
gular one, which may be found on q
monument in eastern Tennessee.
Sacred to the memory Of John
Smith, for 20 years senior partner OF
the firm of Smith & Jones, now J. j.
Jones & Co."
The names are not really Smith
and Jones, but they will answer for
the purpose of the story."I met Jones
later" says the narrator. "and he gave
me a frank explanation of the inscrip-
ton.
Smith was a bachelor without rel
atives," he said, "but he knew tre-
mendous lot of country people, and II
any Of them happened to see his grave,
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out Of bust
pess. So thought It no more than
right to let them know that the firm
was still alive"

NATIONAL PROGRESS.
Protection Meetn with Favor In Japan
n = Means of Promoting
Prosperity.

japan has been trying protection and
seems to like 1t. That country is maxi
Ing great advancement In the ways Of
civilization, and naturally wants to
stand among progressive people. To do
SO 1t must develop It's own resources,
and this can be done only through
proper encouragement. Japan q few
years ago discovered that II was buying
abroad large number of articles which
its foremost statesmen and economists
were satisfied It could produce at home.
For instance. in 1898 japan imported
$1,474,168 worth of watches. 1t con-
cluded to try the effect of higher tariff
rates on many products, believing the
result would be to stimulate home de-
velopment. The result has justified its.
judgment. In 1902 its imports OF
watches, for instance, were but $116,670.
1t had increased the duty on watches
from five per cent, the former rate, TO
80 per cent. Effect-the Japanese be-
gan to manufacture watches and the
impsrtations Of those articles fell of.
But, while this has been the case, says
the Troy Times, the general result Of
the higher tariff has been to increase.
not to diminish, Japan's foreign trade
generally. In this respect It's expert
ence has strikingly similar to that of
the United States, which under
high protection" has seen It's
manufactures attain unprecedented
proportions, surprising those OF
any other nation, while its ex-
ports and imports have reached pro-
digious figures. The absurd free trade
contention that protection shuts the
doors of other nations against a pro-
tected country has been SO often dis
proved Of late by the stories from Ger
many and japan and the remarkable
commercial advance Of the United
States that It would seem to be pretty
near time to retire that worn-out as
sertion.
japan Is increasing both It's exports
and its imports, just as the United
States Is doing, and the greatest in
crease In each case has been made since
higher protection has been secured.
Here are few figures which are sig
nificant as indicating the drift: For the
first four months of the present year the
imports of japan were about $14 ,000, 900
in excess of those of the same period
last year, and the exports were $3,0OO,-
600 greater. For the same four months
the imports Of the United States ex-
ceeded those of the like period last
year by $47,000,0O0, while the exports
for the four months of 1908 were $54,-
100000 more than in 1902. japan is fol-
lowing the protection trail. and 1t finds
In the United States very encouraging
example.

under the wagon to make repairs. He
knew It was dangerous. but he took the
risk. While he was working the wagon
completely gave way. and Mullen was
buried under . pile Of cordwood. He
was not hurt, but was imprisoned %
he could not escape. He was In q Sc

seemed good for starving to death

turned back.

I am sorry" There were tears in her
voice, and again she held out her hand.

whispered.

"Why Kitty, have no people. After
all, have you forgotten how utterly

pressed her hands together.
Must 1t always be SO, Kitty?
Couldn't you learn to care again?"
"And you were almost gone!" she
sobbed.
