Spruce and HemIock.

1t is not difficult to distinguish be-
tween spruce and hemlock in the
forest, when one learns to notice the
following points: The spruce has stifr
pointed leaves Tor short needless, It's
bark scales are never bright red, and
the cones-smaller than those Of the
pines-hang down on the branches.
The hemlock, on the other hand, has
soft fiat needles, often two-ranked,
that is, growing on two sides of the
stem, so that the sprig has fiat
tened appearance; hemlock bark
scales look red, when broken Off, and
the dainty little cones stand erect on
their branches, falling apart soon
after ripening, so that no old cones
long remain on or under the trees
where they grew. Lumber from the
two trees may be distinguished by re-
Numbering that that of the spruce is
white in s9lor, while hemlock wood
retains its faint reddish tint.

GAUDY COSTUME HIS F0lBLE
M..rshal> Murat,o Napoleon's Famous
Cavalry Leader, Seemingly Had
Craze for "Fine Feathers"

Marshal Murat was the dandy
among Napoleon's generals. One Paris
tailor said that in some years he had
made as much as 100000 francs worth
of suits, overcoats and uniforms for
Murat. He liked to invent new and
fantastic uniforms. he strutted about
I'm a suit Of sky-blue overalls covered
all over with gold spangles. and he
decorated his busby with aigrettes. On
the occasion of his triumphant entry
into Warsaw when he supposed he
would be made king of Poland, he
wore an impossible looking uniform,
red leather boots, tunic of cloth OF
gold, sword belt blazing with dia-
monds, and great busby of fur
decked out with costly plumes. On
this occasion Napoleon lost his temper
and testify exclaimed to his general !:
"Go and put on your proper uniform /;
you look like Il clown" But the en-
peror was not misled by Murat's love
of finery, for Ii Is recorded that he
once said OF him: you may smite at
my dandifed marshal, but you will no.
tice that when columns are shot down
today, Murat's gaudy plume will be
dancing in the hottest Of the fight. Let
a hero have one folly, gentlemen"

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and . attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound,' you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy Adv.
