cool WATER WITHOUT ICE

The following is an excellent method
of cooling water: Fill a gallon bottle
and then wet a crash towel or any
other cloth and wrap it around the
bottle: set in a draft and in a few
hours the water Will be found to be
cool; the hotter the day the cooler the
water. This is the principle of the ice
plant. As the moisture Is evaporated
from the towel the heat is drawn from

Best for the
Hair

I wish those who value a good head Of
hair to shampoo their heads with my
Witch Hazel Soap. 1t will positively
cure the worst cases of dandruff and
all scalp diseases. 1t gives new life
and vigor to the scalp and has a ten
dency to produce a glossy and beau
tiful growth of hair. For the COM
plexion it is the best soap made. 1t
makes the skin soft as velvet. For
baby it has no equal. Cures eruptions,
allays itching and makes baby as
sweet as roses.
To those who have sallow or dull
complexion or who have pimples, &c

ornmend my Paw Paw Laxative Pills.
They positively cure constipation,

WHY ENGLAND HAS NO FLIES

The fly car be put down. The proof
is that it has been done. Speaking
rashly there are no flies in England;
1t least there are so few that the in
habitants do not think it worth while
to screen their dwellings. The reason
is the simplest-the tight little island
is kept clean. Fifty years ago flies
were a nuisance in England, though
not the plague they are here, for no
other really civilized country was ever
quite so dirty as the United States OF
America. This nuisance is pretty COM
pletely abated. In so years England
has been swept and garnished, and the
flies have starved.

ENGLAND FAvORS WRESTLING.
Steadily Ousting Boxing as Popular
Game.

London. April 3.-There are Indications
that IN England wrestling i7 steadily
ousting boxing in popular favor. Eng
lands reputation as a nation Of pugilists
is largely founded on an outworn ira
dition. II Is questionable whether there
are as many young men IN London to-
day, not counting the professors Of the
art who have any real knowledge Of
boxing as there are In Paris, where the
English" pastime has recently made
considerable headway.
Some persons will have the courage to
regret the change; there IS no more use
ful. manly or healthful form Of exercise
than boxing. It's moral effects are excel
lent, and. II il comes 70 that Il IS much
better for the department than dancing.
When the tendency Of the age, IN Eng
land at any rate, is TO look on rather
than participate-that Is really what
Haldane's Territorial Army Is suffering
fFom-and the spectacular side of vres-
lIng Is being exploited for all It IS worth.

afternoon for a fortnight the wrestling
tournament at the Alhambra, in which

small Swiss athlete John Lemm. has won
the heavy weight championship: a duskv

Rose, of Barnsley, the light-weights.
With the exception Of one Irishman. p.
