OLD LADY MIsJuDeEo AFFAIR.
Had Impression She Was Witnessing
Animated Filtration.


Ex-Gov. Nahum j. Batchelder of
a granger. Three or four years ago,
while on a journey connected with
the interests of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, he was on the train going
from Bangor, Maine, to Old Town. At
Bangor the train was boarded by
some grange delegates from the sur
rounding districts. One of them, a
pretty and vivacious young lady, took
the seat beside Mr.. Batchelder and
began an animated conversation on
the success of a newly organized
grange" in that vicinity.
Mr.. Batchelder, being slightly deaf,
leaned an attentive ear toward his
fair companion, while she, with mods
and gestures, added emphasis to her
enthusiastic remarks.
An old lady few seats back in
the car observed the apparently abb
sorbing devotion of the temporary
travelling companions with disap-
proving eye.
Just before reaching Old Town is
the little village of Great Works, and
as the train approached the small
station the conductor came through
the car announcing, Great Works.
Great Works,"
Yes, piped up the old lady, glad to
have a sympathizer. II should think
it was great works, And they've had
1t agoin' ever since the train left Ban

MINrsrER TO MODERN VANITY.
The Lookine-slass, and How It Looks
to Men and Women

to Men and Women.
II Is not always for the mere grati-
fication of personal vanity that we
should attentively study our mirrors,
says the London Chronicle. Socrates
advised all young people TO look often
in their looking-glass TO ascertain II
they were good-looking-that If they
We're so they might strive to make
their mental attainments correspond,
and if they were not. then they might
enoeavor by the superior accomplish
ments of their minds to make up for
their personal shortcomings.
This is excellent advice for vanity
possessed moderns, but it is improb-
abls that the high mental attitude of
Socrates is appreciated by them.
How the elaborate toilets of to-day
could be accomplished without the
aid of the mirror it is impossible TO
imagine. It is popularly supposed
that the mirror is the woman's pet
possession. but man is by no means
averse to contemplating his manly
charms as reflected therein. A wom-
an frankly confesses her interest in
the alluring combination of glass and
quicksilver, but the man. while voic-
ing his scorn. proves his superior van
ity by his concealed and secretive
study of it. He jeers at his wife's
cheval glass. but was anything more
entirely provocative of human vanity
ever invented than the many-sided
shaving glass?

SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN.
A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.

Finally the scientific student has
discovered a certain remedy for dan
druff. When it first. became known
that dandruff is the result of germ
or parasite that digs into the scalp and
saps the vitality of hair at the ROOT,
causing falling hair and badness, bi-
ologists set to work to discover some
preparation that will kill the germ.
After years labor in one laboratory,
the dandruff germ destroyer was dis
covered. and it is now embodied in
Newbro's Herpicide. 1t prevents bald
ness. stops falling hair and speedily
eradicates dandruff. Destroy the
cause. you remove the effect" Sold
