Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

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 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
.plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

Conserving the Joy of Life.

The most hopeful feature Of the de-
velopment of a new attitude toward
youth is the willingness to conserve
the spirit Of the joy Of life-the great
gift which youth has to offer to life.
To youth has been given this great joy
Of life, and it is the right Of the indi-
vidual to carry its spirit on into age,
making it fuller and deeper as the
years roll on. The new movement is
asserting the right Of youth to its joy,
recognizing that this is the creative
force which will raise life from duh
level 1t means less Of the disenchant-
ments of age, keeping alive Of the
glow Of life, cultivating an ever deep
ening optimism, so admirably express
ed by those simple lines Of Browning:
Grow old along with me.
For the best is yet to be.

Japan,s Good Roads.

Japan is peculiarly well off in re-
spect of good highways. The Tokaido,
which runs from Kioto to Tokyo, is
over 300 miles in length and, as the
writer can testify, is admirably con-
structed. There is also the Nakasendo,
which is even longer and passes
through some of the finest scenery in
the world. The reason Of Japan's ex-
cellence in the matter of roads is that
in the old days. not so very long ago,
the daimios, or territorial mobiles, had
to journey to Tokyo once year in or
der to pay their respects to the SOW
ereign. They Travelled by road, with
great retinues, and if the highways
were not in perfect condition, feuda.
justice was meted out to the delin-
quents.-London Spectator.

THE THIRD NAPOLEON.
Spicy Pen Picture John Hay Drew of
the French Emperor.

One Of the best things John Hay ever
wrote, says William Roscoe Thayer in
his presentation in Harper's Of Hays
unpublished diaries is this pen portrait
Of Napoleon Ill:
Short and stocky. he moves with a
queer, sidelong gait. like a gouty crab
man so wooden looking that you
would expect his voice to come rasp-
ing out like a watchman's rattle; a
complexion like crude tallow-marked
for death whenever death wants him
to be taken some time in half an hour
or left, neglected by the skeleton king
for years perhaps, if properly coddled.
THE muStache and imperial which
the world knows, but ragged and brist,
ly, concealing the mouth entirely, are
moving little nervously as the lips
twitch; eyes sleepily watchful-fur
tive, stealthy, rather ignoble, like serv,
ants looking out Of dirty windows and
saying Nobody at home.' and lying as
they say it,
And withal wonderful phlegm. He
stands there as still and impassive as
if carved in oak for ships fgurehead
He looks not unlike one Of those rude
inartistic statues. His legs are toe
short, his body too long. He never
looks we'll but on throne or on a
horse, as kings ought"

That a golf ball does not travel in a

fessor C. Vernon Boys during the trial
Of patent suit in the British chancery
court. Professor Boys, who had been
called as an expert Gn ballistics, de-
scribed experiments he had made with
mechanically propelled golf balls and
said that these when driven hard more
than counteracted the attraction Of
gravity. "A good fight" he said, lis

amusers, books are always with US and
always ready to respond to our wants.
We can take them with us in our wall
derings or gather them around us at
our fresides. In the lonely wilderness
and the crowded city their spirit will
be with us, giving a meaning to the
seemingly confused movements of hui
manity and peopling the desert with
their own bright creations.-John Al
fred Langford.
