that as our agent had engaged three

Don't dye gray hair. 1t is a never

rinsings to get rid Of every particle of

as much of the bluing as possible, and
then dry it thoroughly with warm tow.

to its pedestal and ordering the regi-

Since that time a British troop has
kept watch over the tiger idol day BY

Another Indian idol which is watch

Hence the natives of the city Of

In the Melanesian islands the natives

delivery Of the head.
Often in the years that are Just gone
indiscriminate killing went on with
such savage persistence that even dur.

taken at marked worshipers through
the doors and windows.
The situation became SO acute in one
village that the government was petit.

The missionary took the hint and
armed one of his natives who stood
