A Beautiful Bull.

The foreman of a grand jury in the
west Of Ireland had been presented
for some public service with a gold
watch, Of which he was very proud,
and us he displayed it at a dinner Of
the grand jury bets were made by
members as to whose watch was most
accurate. At last some one suggested
that it was impossible to decide. -
"Oh," said the foreman, "there's no
difficulty about that! There's SUM-
dial In the garden, and We'll take a
lantern and decide the bets that way"

The Way They Terrorized the Citizens
In the Old Days.


Some curious particulars of the dan
gers of London streets in the old days
are given in an article on The Scow-
rers and the Mohocks" in the British
Monthly Review. The favorite prac-
tice of the Scowrers was to invade
some tavern in the evening, drive out
the customers, ill treat the proprietor
and his attendants. wreck the prem
ises and, above all, roar Steele
tells of the Mohocks. one of whose pas
times was to Enclose women in casks

offering a reward of 800 for the ap-
prehension of any Mohock. Soon after

Mohock rowdyism, and attacks on the

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DlSCOV

A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after Il years patient laboratory
work aimed in a certain direction. 1t
is Newbro's Herpicide, preparation
that prevents falling hair, and speed
lily and permanently eradicates dan
druff. These evils are caused by Il
germ or parasite that burrows into the
scalp, throwing up dandruff, as it seeks
to sap the life of the hair at the root;
There's no badness without falling or
thin hair, no thin hair without dan
druff, and no dandruff if the germ is
destroyed. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only preparation that will do the work.

MODERN FARMLAND.
Electricity More Potent Than Aladdin's
Famous Lamp.

Was Aladdin's lamp so very wonder
full? Today we touch a button when
a messenger is needed; we press an
other, and the room is flooded with
light. 1t is not recorded that Aladdin's
old brass implement was of any value
for illuminating a dark room. Our
slaves of the lamp do not terrify us by
their horrid appearance. They are
placed afar off in home of their own
and are always ready to furnish us
with light and heat at any time of the
day or night. Is not that simpler and
more direct than to have to carry an
ugly piece of brass about with us,
which when rubbed did not give what
was wanted. but merely brought the
servant?
And was the magic mirror so much
superior to the telephone? Who would
not prefer to talk with his friends to
merely seeing them dimly through a
clouded mirror? Truly the telephone
is one of the most romantic devices
that has ever rewarded mans endeav.
ors. And yet the magic mirror. while
1t seems improbable. may lead to it
but even then it would only supple.
ment the telephone.
And In what way was the fairy boat
or coach superior to the electric launch
or automobile? True. the rider did not
know how or why it moved. but this
same advantage holds for many who
today use these very equipages. And
one can easily believe that we are not
