No doubt nervous headaches and wor-
riment have caused your hair to turn
gray, and you must stop them and
the worrying before you car ever hope
to have the natural color of you hair
return. / am sending you, however, a
recipe for something which will restore
the natural color, which I entreat You
to use while you are trying to cure
headaches and worrying
To restore the natural color of the
hair "a physicians pr%escription):
Sugar of lead. u ounce: lac sulphur.
n ounce; essence of bergamot. "a
ounce; alcohol, " gill; glycerine, l
ounce; tincture of cantharides, "a
ounce; ammonia, " ounce. Mix all in
one pint Of soft water. Apply to the
roots of the hair, which must be clean
The dye should never be applied IL
there is any irritation or abrasion or
the scalp. The best way to use any
stain is to apply it to the roots of the
hair with a small brush-a tooth brush
will answer for the purpose. Tnen
spread it evenly downward through the
~tresses with an ordinary hair brush
This should not be applied more than
once a week, as its frequent use al
too brief an interval would sooner or
later have n pernicious effect on the
scalp.

Maitland. a very wealthy young man OF more
or less irresponsible habits, is engaged in prose-
cutting a band of thigh finance plunderers,
among whom Is one Graeme. Maitland's law
advisor, Banne~man, pleads for Graeme on the
ground that he Is innocent. Maitland Will grant
no mercy.
AT the advice of Bannerman Maitland starts
for his country home, to obtain his faHiiy
Jewels. at the time reposing In q safe there, ana
to bring them the next day to New York. He
notices a high power machine, occupied only py
a woman, crossing the ferry, and Is struck by
a resemblance between her and a woman whom
he had seen aloI e near his home that afternoon.
Maitland misses his train and reaches Green
fields at midnight, with Ave miles to walk.
He starts, but when about a third OF the way
is past he discovers the large motor car, Its
driver on the seat, In the bed of a small stream.
Maitland volunteers to carry the lady to shore.
and Is astounded to find an apparently slim girl
very heavy. He then extricates her auto and
asks for u lift. She ~pretepds to havt lost her
glove. and as he searches for It she speeds away,
crying Handsome Dan"
Maitland arrives home and, discovering
burglars at work, switches on the light. The
burglar turns out TO be the same young woman
he had rescued from the stream. She addresses
him as "Anisty," a noted burglar, and Malt
land assumes she has mistaken him for the
thief.
Maitland, by this time madly in love with the
girl. decides to act out the role OF Anisty. After
forcing the girl to reveal her face, "Anisty,' by
the light of the girls bull's-eye lantern, starts
to unlock his own safe.

O SCHOOL CHILDREN.


Supply the youngsters going to school
with folded paper cornucopias, which
come in sealed packages for a small
sum. These are used for drinking ups
instead of those found in public places.
1t is wise to keep a supply of these
paper cornucopias on hand for those
who travel and for the shopper hen
in the city for a day.
Teach the children to make these
useful little drinking cups from clean
white paper, and there will be no dan
ger of contracting disease from a drink
ing cup used by everyone who
passes by.

Born l77z.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree,
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled
round;
And there were gardens bright with
sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense
bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the
hills,
Unfolding sunny spots Of greenery.
The shadow Of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves,
Where was heard, the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
1t was a miracle of rare device,
