the arsenal theirs. Events. instead of
standing still. or going forward, took
an unexpected sinister turn. not long
after Francois going.
The happy Prince, smiling the shad.

turmoil; his new followers, the men

In the shock OF silence which fol-

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

HeIp Tor the Blind.

The Journal of the American Meii-
cal Association is authority for the
averment that the blind people in the
United States number 100000, and
that it costs about $15,O0O,OGO to sup
port them. 1t is estimated that rs per
cent Of this blindness is due to two
causes, namely, sore eyes at birth and
neglected eyes during early school
life. The first carIse can be removed
in the simplest manner All that is
necessary is for the doctor or midwife
to drop into the eyes of the newly
born babe few drops of a two per
cent solution OF nitrate of silver. This
will kill the germs that produce the
disease which almost fills so many
blind asylums.

THE NEW YEARS EVE FATES
How Curious Maidens Can Find Ous
What Is in Store for Them
An italian Custom.

Every maiden wonders what the fu
ture has in store for her, and this is
what she must do on New Years day
to learn her fate:
Turn the pillow at midnight, the
31st of December, and you will
dream of the man you are to marry.
Or let her take her hymn book to her
bedroom, blow out the lamp, open the
book and mark hymn lin the dark, +,
put it under the pillow and sleep on
it. Next morning when she reads the
hymn she will find its text will indt-
cate the event of the year.
On New Years eve the Italian maid
en- places in one corner of her bed
room a thimble, in another water, In
a third ashes and in a fourth a ring.
Upon waking in the morning. if she
sees the ring first she will be married
that year; il she sees the water first
the year will be unlucky; if the
thimble, fortune will smile on her;
if the ashes. she will die.
On New Years eve, If a maiden
wishes to know her fate during the
coming year, she must go into the
open air with psalm book in one
hand and piece of silver in her
mouth. She must allow ths book to
fall open, and if 1t opens at the death
psalm she will die; If 1t opens at the
bridal psalm she will marry, and what.
ever else 1t opens to will indicate her
fate.

is striking twelve. repeat three times:
