Zone night at Lady Jeune's house
Joseph Chamberlain said to me that
he believed any man OF even moderate
endowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre-
hitting effort and enduring to the
end To my question. Why. then, do
so many men fall short Of their ambi-
tons? he answered: They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the
first bridge and at the second, per
haps even at the third; but the drag
ons are always more formidable the
farther we go. Many turn back dis
heartened, and very few will meet the
monsters to the end. Almost none
Is willing to have try with the demon
at the last bridge; but If he does, he
has won forever. Princess Lazaro-

Did you ever look az the edge Of
dime or quarterg They are differ
ent from pennies and nlckels. for all
silver and gold coins have what are
called 'millsd" edges, while the edges
of pennies and nickels are smooth, the
Kansas City Star says. The teason
for this is that some dishonest persons
used to clip pieces on the coins. espe-
cially the gold ones, and then sell
these scraps Of precious metal when
they had saved q great maPy. Every
year the nation lost large sums Of
money this way and the thieves would
smooth the edges of SO well that it
was hard to find out who was guilty.
The best wav OF stopping this practice
was found to be to mill the edges
OF the more valuable coins so that no
ono could pare them without letting
it be seen at once.

100 pounds Of food every "a hours. II
horse ate az much as caterpillar,

sume a ton of hay every "a hours. A
caterpillar eats twice its weight Of
leaves every day; but a potato beetle
devours every day at least five times
its weight OF foliage every bit OF

hopper which, when in good health,

That beautiful, even shade of dark. glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggy, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appear ance hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store 50-cent bottle of 'Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" ready to use. This can all ways be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thickness and lustre of your hair and remove dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abun- dant.-Adv.
