But Poincaire would never have given
an impetus to his fellow beings If he had
not. like Newton before him, and like all
great men, disclaiming the possession of
any superhuman power, Newton said
that all he had done seemed to him but
as picking up of a pebble on the shore
of the boundless ocean of knowledge, and
Poincaire declared that the mind of man
is only flash of lightning, Illuminating
for a moment part Of the iIlimitabe
expanse around
But these flashes succeed one another,
and the race, as whole, retains little
of what each reveals and adds to 1t that
which has already been acquired. What
was revealed to the genius of the great
French mathematician was not always
perfectly clear even to himself, while for
the majority of men 1t was but a flash
in the night which showed them nothing
His successors guided by the glimpses
he had, will make 1t all clear, and thus
the domain of knowledge will be ex-
tended.
In the second place, the usefulness Of
such man as Poincaire consists in the
actual additions that he made to knowl-
edge These additions were purely mathe-
matical and incapable of popular ex-
planatlon but there are men who can
understand them, and who, with their
successors. will. upon the basis which
ne left, erect a new edlfico Of science
which all can enter and admire There
was time when Newton's "Principia"
was as far beyond the intellectual reach
of the average man as PolncaIre's most
abstruse work is today. but now. thanks
to the advance which it, itself, inspired,
any boy in college. with mathematical
gift and proper application, can read the

fact 1t has been displaced by more. recent
work. just as PoincaIre's achievements
will be superseded in the future.

Hay In Church.

A curious custom has been observed
from time immemorial at Old Weston,
Huntingdonshire, in England. The
church there is dedicated to st. S''ith-
In. and on the Sunday most ne . p
preaching st. Swithin's day the edifice
is strewn with new mown hay. The
tradition is that an old lady bequeath-
ed field for charitable purposes on
condition that the tenant provided the
hay to lessen the annoyance caused by
the squeaking of the new shoes worn
by the villagers on Feast Sunday.
There are other explanations-one that
1t Is an offering of the first fruits Of
the hay harvest and another that it Is
a survival of the custom of strewlng
the church (when the floor was only
beaten earth) with rushes.

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN,
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty,
Loses In Love and Marriage.

Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty,
Loses In Love and Marriage.
! Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry a
bald headed woman What charms could
one array to Offset such Disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory is her
hair. The loss OF hair mars her beauty,
happiness, and success. Yet, right here
in !. Ellsworth, there are thousands of
women who are neglecting or injuring
4 their hair to such an extent that it is only
| matter OF time when 1t will be utterly
ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of their
hair through thoughtlessness or ignor-
ance of certain facts. They use curling
| irons over heated, or to excess, which de-
stroys the natural oil OF the hair, causing
it to split, break, and come out. They do
not shampoo their hair often enough, or
too often. They use soaps or Preparations
which contain ingredients positively
harmful to the scalp and hair.
As result of such treatment, dandruff
is created, the hair loosens, loses color,
falls out, and badness commences, unless
proper and prompt precautions are taken
in time. Then again, microbes and GER
tain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp
and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid herself
of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair il
she will but use the right remedy. We
have that remedy, and we will positively
guarantee that it will either cure dandruff
and badness or it will not cost the user
anything.
That's a pretty broad statement, but we
| will back it and prove it with our own
money. We will return your money il
| you do not find that Rexall 1897 Hair
Tonic is an entirely satisfactory remedy
| that will promote hair growth and over
come scalp and hair troubles; that it
will grow hair even on bald heads, unless
all life in the hair roots has been extin-
! guished, the follicles closed, and the scalp
is glazed and shiny. 1t gets its name from
the fact that it grew hair in SO out of 100
cases, where it received thoroughly
hard, impartial, and practical test.

Tonic at our risk. You surely cannot lose
anything by doing so, while you have
everything to gain. You had better
