THE FIRST CRAY
HAIR SIGN Of ICE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
metcs and creams to improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair Is even more conspicuous and
suggestive Of age than wrinkles or q
poor complexion? Of the two, it. is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it Is to have
a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occasional
use OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few applications
of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to Its
natural color, in short time the dan
drutf viii be removed, and your haiI
viii no longer come out but will start tc
grow as Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make OF
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug.
gist will give your money back if you
are not satisfied after using. Pur.
chase bottle today. You viii never
regret it when you realize the differ.
snce 1t viii make In your appearance.

formed by the shell of a dumdum bull
let. One day, says a biographer, the
representative Of a foreign power, ex-
cited by the heat of the discussion in
the interests of peace, said to him
sharply:
my lord, it isn't right for you to
use that murderous shell in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per-
sons are almost emblematic They can
become a part of themselves, an ex-
preston of their ideas and of their
personality"
Lord Pauncefote smiled. but said
nothing. The following day his critic,
wanting to write something, turned to
the English diplomat to borrow a pen.
The ambassador pulled out of his peck.
ct an old fashioned pen made Of a
gray goose quill and after the borrow.
er had finished said:
Monsieur. it isn't right for you to
use such an instrument in this con,
gress. The instruments used by per.

lis puzzlina Bed Eyed Xiree.

The bird traveller that gives the nat
uralist the hardest transportation prob
lem to solve is the red eyed vireo. 1t
winters in Central America and ap-
pears each spring at the mouth Of the
Mississippi, travelling twenty miles a
day. At this leisurely rate it proceeds
for six weeks, all the way up to the
latitude of northern Nebraska. Then
suddenly. in the space of twenty-four
hours and before a single red eyed
vireo has been seen anywhere in the
region between. numbers of the birds
appear in British Columbia, a thousand
miles to the northwest. This puzzling
performance is repeated every year,
Unless the red eyed vireo flies a thou,
sand miles in single night how does
it manage this bewildering schedule!
Nobody knows; but, then, nobody
knows either where the chimney swift
goes for five months out of every year.

Beqinninqs of Clubs.

The first club of modern England
seems to have been the circle at the
Mermaid that Sir Walter Raleigh
founded and Shakespeare joined. But
in the seventeenth century clubs be-
gan to spring up like mushrooms
There was the Calves Head club,
whose members met and dined off
calves heads to show their contempt
for the decapitated Charles l. Then
came the Kit-Kat club, which, accord
ing to Addison, took It's name from a
mutton pie. One Christopher Kat, a
pastry cook of Shire lane, was a dis
tinguished constructor of mutton pies,
and his productions were called Kit
Kats. The club meeting in his house
and eating his pies acquired the pies
name for its own.-London Telegraph

Plans For . Gigantic Accumulation
That Were Frustrated.
In 1877 there died in London q
merchant named Peter Thelusson, OF
foreign extraction, who bequeathed
100000 TO his wife and children and
the rest Of his property, amounting to
upward Of 100000, to trustees, with
instructions that the money was to be
invested and the interest suffered to
accumulate until his three sons and all
their sons should have died. when the
entire property was to be transferred
to his eldest great-grandson. In the
event Of no such heir being then alive
the accumulated property was to be
appropriated to the reduction of the
national debt
Many calculations were made as to
the probable amount which the accu-
mutations were likely to reach, and &C
cording to the lowest computation II
was believed that the sum would in
seventy years amount to $4,000. 600

Curious Hare Hunt That Occurred al
the Battle of Wagram.

curious rare hunt That Occurred at
the Battle of Wagram.
At a certain stage of the battle of
Wagram, which took place In 1909,
the proceedings developed into a great
hare hunt. There were 100000 hunt
ers, half French and half Austrians.
The plain was, 1t is related. covered
with hares, which the long advance
of the two armies had driven into a
narrow space. Frightened by the
guns Of the French, they ran for their
lives and continued to run until they
reached the Austrian lines. There
they were none the less terrified and
came rushing back upon the French.
The soldiers were greatly interested
by the frantic movements Of the hares
and could hardly be restrained from
making after them.
There occurred a charge by the Aus
TRAN cavalry, which, of course, took
no account Of the hares. The horses
plunged in among them, and they
rushed in dismay among the ranks of
the French soldiers, who, confused by
so strange an attack, began bayonet-
ing the hares. Other soldiers not i'm
mediateiy pressed by the onset Of the
enemy c. light up the trembling ami
mails In their hands.
There was that day a great slaugh-
ter of men and hares, and many a
shot destined for the enemy struck
one of these poor animals, who doubt.
less believed that the great armies
had come there expressly to hunt
| them instead of to hunt each other
