Even pale cheeks won't do it. Your household cares may be heavy and disappoint? ments may be deep, but they cannot make you look old. One thing docs It and never fails. , It is impossible to look young with the color of seventy years in your hair. AUCP'S permanently postpones the tell-tale signs of a?e. Used according to directions it gradually brings back thp color of youth. At fifty your hair may look as it did at fifteen. It thickens the hair also; stops it from falling out; and cleanses the scalp from dandruff. Shall we send you our book on the Hair and its Diseases? Tha Bemt Adv.ce Freo.

Addresa. 1/R. J. C. ?YLK, Lowell. Ma?,. (By Bram Stoker.) One night we weie journeying In the we.-t of the Rook If? overt) road bed which threatenel to jerk out our teeth with every loo*elylaul sleeper on the line. Traveling in tint part of the wot hi. Certainly in the days I spenk of, was prettj haul. The travelers were mostly men, all oyei woiked, all overanxious, and intolerant of au\ thing whxh hind? ered their woik 01 interfered with the measure of their repose. In night journeys the berths of llie sleeping cars wire made op early, and as ;,ll the night trams were sleeping cars, ti e only thinjr to be done was to turn in at once and try aud sleep away the time. As mus of the men were usua'ly tired out with the day'? ?oik, the arrange-? raent suited everybody. You can understand that ou such i nuneyb women aiti children were disliMli log elements. Foitonately they were, as night lra>t lets, rate, and the women, wltb that consideration tor the needs of their men tolk which I ba>e ulwajs not;ced in Ameiican female workers, used to devote themselves to keeping the little ones quiet. The VMatber was barab, and sneezing and coughing ?as the or der ot the day. This made the peo? ple in the sleeper, all men, unta bit; all the more that as most ol them were contributing to the gen? eral chorus of sounds coming muf? fled through quilts ami oat tains. It was impossible to single onl eaj special ofletider tor general ixccia tlou. Alter awhile, however, the change of posture fiom standing Oi sitting to Ijing down began to have some kind of soothing ?fleet, ?ltd new tonada of occasional snor ing began to vary ihe monotou,\ id iirltution. Ties? nlly the train atop ped at a way station; then ensued a prolonged spell of shciiting back ward and forward with tie uncer tainty of jerkiness which is so peculiarly disturbing to impirfeit ?leep; and then two new come! s en it red \\\* sleeper, a man and a bwbj The bab> was \oung, quite \ounj: enough to be defiantly Ignorant ?ud intolerant ot all rules and reg iiU'ioiis teg.tiding the common good. It played tor its own hand aloue, and as it was extremely an? gry aud gifted with exceptionally powerful lungs, Ihe (act of Its pre sen? e and its emotional condition, even though the latter afforded a mastery as to its cause, were im? mediately apparent. The snoiing ceased, and its piace was takeu i y muttered grunts aud growls; the coughing seemed to increase with the renewed irritation, and evi iy where sat the rustling ot ill at ease and impotent humanity. (Jur taice were palled angrily aside, the rings abnekiog viciously on tb bi asa rods and gleaming ?yea ant hardening mouths glared savagel: at ihe intruder on our quiet, tor s< we now had tardily come to con aider by comparison him and it I The newcomer did not seem to taki the least notice of anything, an<; went on In a stolid way trying ft quiet the child, shifting It from out arm to the other, dancing it up anil down, and rocking it sideways. At! I'al'ies are malignant; tht natural wickedness of man, as ela Derated at the primeval curse, seems to find an unadulterated eflect In their expressions of feel? ing. The baby was a peculiarly fine specimen of ils class. It seemed to have i.ocompunction whatever, no parental reepfcr, no natural aftec Iion, DO mitigation in the natuial yiiuience of its rancor. It scream? ed, it roared, it squalled, it bellow ed. The root ideas of profanity, of obfceiiit.y, o? blasphemy were min? gled in its tone. It beat with c'eichtd fists its father's face, it clswed at his e.\es with twitching fliigere, it used his head as an en gi ie wiih ?bleb to hoffet him. It kicked, it struggled, it wriggled, it writh? d, it twisted itself into ser? pentine convolutions, till every m w and then, what with its vocal and mu.-cnl.ii i xt rtiotis, it threatened to get black in the face. All the time the stolid father simply tried to kdp it quiit with eternal ch auges til poet?te, and with w Ins pen d words, ??There, now pet!*' ?'Hash; lie still, little one," ?Beat, dear one, rest!" Ile was a big, lanky, pa'ient looking, angular man, with great rough hands and enorirooa feet, which be shifted about Bahea|K>ke( so that man olid ohiid together seemed etetnalh rest leu. The thing appealed to bare I sort ol faecination tor moat of the m? n in tlis car- The curtains of a lot ol berths were opened and a lot ol hi a?ls appeared, all scowling 1 ennckled softly to myself and tried to conceal n.v merriment leal I should Spoil the ?U0. No one said anything for a long lime, till ;tt I.ist one wild-eyed, swarthy, lung bearded individual, who some hint looked like a .Mormon elder, saitl: "Say, mister, what kind of ? bowling piece is that you've got tin it ? Have noue ot you boys got ? ?ut,?" There came from the bonks a regular cborae ot acqalfscenoei ?The domed thing had ought to be killed!" ?Beate piairie dogs in full moon!" '?When I woke up with it howl? ing thought I had got 'em again.'' ??Never mind, boya, it tuny be a bleaaiu1 in iilsgui.-e, Somelbio' bad ?s omiii' to us ou this trip, an after thll 'twill be easy woik to die!" T'ie man spoke up* 'T'm mu?a, gentleni n, it she in? commodes yon!*1 Tim wouls wert so manifestly inadi qoate that there was a roar ol laughter which seem? ed to shrike Ihe car. West of tin Mississippi things are, or at an\ rate the.y need to be, a bit rough, ami ideas followed suit. Lmgbtei. when it came, was rough ami coaise; and on this occasion evei ilielai.kv man BOCtacd to feel it He Oh h tried to hold the child closet to him. as it to shield it from the hall of nouieal chati which fol lowed. 'Incommode us! Oh, not at id1. It's lbs most toothing concourse of sweet sounds I ever I.earl " ?Bally for babf syrups!" ?Pf*y don't let us disturb tin concert wi h our sleeping." "Jerk aa ont a lu tie more cliin iiiusic!" ?'There is no place like home with a baby in it." J ist opposite wbeie the mat moye.i reatleeelj wltb tbeobiklwe* the bunk of a young giant whom I had n iticed turning in earlier in the evening. He had not seemed to a.iVi- noticed the disturbance, but now his certaine were thrust aside leioelv, and be appeared lifted on one e bOfJ BI be asked in an angrj tone: Sa.\, ion, where's it's moihei any? how'.'' The man replied in a low, weary one, without looking round: ?81 es m tne baggage car, sir? in her co.liu!n ''Well, you could have heard the silence that came oTtr all the men. I he baby's screaming and the iosh, and roar, aird rattle ot the train teemed unnatural breakers of the profound stillness, In an instead iheyoung man. clad only in Ins nnder-tiaunels, was out on the le?r aad close to the aiaa. I "Say, stranger," he said "if 1\ knowed that, I'd a bit my tongui out afore I'd a spoke! An' now : look" at you, my poor fellow, I sei you're most wore out. Here, givt me the child, and you turn into nt] bunk an' rest. No, you needn't b( ateered"?for he saw the fathei shrink away a little and hold th< child c!oser. 'I'm one of a big 1 in? ilv au' I've nursed the baby often. Give her ovei; I'll take care of her anT'll talk fo the conductor, an I we'll see that you're called ?hen the time comes." lie put out hi? great hands and 11 ted the little one, the father resigning her to his care without a word. He held her in one arm whilst with the other he helped the newcomer into his empry berth. ?Strange to say, the child made no more struggle. It may luve bceu that the young blood or the voting flesh gave something of the warmth and softness of the mot tier's breast which it missed, or that the fresh, young nerves sooth where the worn nerves of the sorrowing man had only irritated] bu.', with a peaceful sigh, the little one lean ed over, let its head fall on the voun? man's shoulder, and seem? ingly in an instant w?i fast asleep. And all night lo.?g,up and down, un and down, in his stocking feet, softly marched the flannel-dud young giant, with the baby asleep on his breast,whilst In his bunk ?he tired, sorrow stricken father slent and forgot. And somehow I thought that, though the mother's bodl miy have been in the baggage car at the other end of the train, lot soul was not very far ?wa\ ? I.'o.\d's News. ADAM AND EVE SCARED WHITE Rev, Mr. Steptoe recently de hvered the tollOWiog sermon to his dusky congregation in a remote ?i etion of Virginia : 'My Friend*; iWapo'ful man to read I reads a monstrous beep.

They lift uo complaint; th make no strike for higher wages, r ?with a keenness of nervous orga.nl; tion which almost always charact i/es genio* these artists suffer mi. than any one but Cod can real!: There aseda be a concerted effort t the suffering artists of America, u sentimental discourse about what I owe to artists, hut contracts that w them a livelihood: Tor I am in fi sympathy with the Christian farm who was very busy gathering his f; apples, and some one asked him pray for a poor family, the father whom had broken Uls leg. aitTl tl.el.u.. farmer said: "1 cannot stop now pray, but yon can go down Into tl cellar and get some cornel beef ar butter ami ergs and potatoes. That all 1 can do now." Artists may wish for our prayer but they also want practical help fro men who cau give them work. Yfl have heard scores of sermons for a other kinds of suffering men and won en. but we need sermons that mai pleas for the suffering men and wome of American art Their work I aiore true to nature and life than som< t?f the masterpieces that have becom? Immortal on th* other side of the sea hut It is the fashion of Americans tc :i foreign artists r.nd to know little or nothing about our own Coplej and Allston. and lnman and Oree Hough, and Keusett. Let the affluent Hing out of their windows and Into th< backyard valueless daubs on canvai tnd call In these splendid but unre warded men and tell them to adorr your walls, not only with that whlct shall please the taste, but enlarge th? minds and Improve the morals and save the souls of those who gaze upon them All Americas cities need great galleries of art, not only open annually for a few days on exhibition, but which thai] stand open all the year round, and from early morning until 10 o'clock It night and free to all who would tome aud go. BullS Art Galleries. What a preparation for the wear and tear of the day a live minutes' look In the morning Rt some picture that trill open n door Into some larger realm than that In which our population dally drudge! Or what a good thing the half hour of artistic opportunity on the way home In the evening from exhaustion that demands recuperation for mind and soul as well as body! Who will do for the city where you live what W. W. Corcoran did for Washington and What others bave done for Philadelphia and Boston and New York? Men of wealth, If you are too modest to build and endow such t plSCC during your lifetime, why not go to your Iron safe ami take out your last will ami testament and make a codicil that shall build for the city of your residence a throne for American art? Take eOfSO of that money that would otherwise spoil your children and build an art gallery that shall as? sociate your name forever, not ouly with the great masters of painting who art gone, but with the great mas? ters who are trying to live, and also a In the admiration and love of tens of thousand* of people who. unable to have line pictures of their own, would OS advantaged. By your benefactions build your own monuments and not have it to the whlins of others. Some of the best people sleeping in Green? wood have no monuments at all, or sosas crumbling stones that In a few years will let the rain wash out name ami epitaph, while some men whose death wat lb* abatement of a nuisance bava a pila of Aberdeen graulte high enough for a king ami eulogium enough to embarrass a seraph. Ob, man of large wealth. Instead of leaving 'o the whim of others your monumental commemoration and epl taphology. to Ive looked at when people are going to ami fro at the burial of others, build right down in tbe heart Of our gnat city, or the city where you live, an Immense free rvadlug room or a fra* musical conservatory or a free j art gallery, the niches for sculpture ; and the wall* abloom with the rise and fall of nations aud lessons of courage for the disheartened and rest for tbs weary nud life for the dead, and 150 years from now you will ho wielding influences In this world for good. How much better than white marble, that chills you If you put your band on It when you touch It In the cemetery, would be a monument In colors. In beaming eyes. In living possession. In splendors which under the chandelier i would be glowing and warm and look I ed at by strolling groups wltb cnta I logue in hand, on the January night I when the necropolis where tbe body I sleeps It all tnowsd under! The tower j of David was hung with UOtO dented shields of battle, but you. oh man of wealth, may have a grander tower I named after you. one that shall ha i hung not with tbe symbols of carnage, but with the victories of that arc which was so long ago recognized iu my text as "oleasaai pictures." Oh. the power of pl?toras! I cannot de - ride, as some have done. Cardinal Ma sari n, who. when told that he must die, took his last walk through the art gal? lery of his pataca, saying: "Must I quit all this? Look at that Titian! Look at that Corregglo! Look at that del? uge of Caracci! Farewell, dear ptc tures!" A Inliiriiil l.nnannce. As the day of ihe Lord of hosts, ac? cording to this text, will scrutinize the pictures, I Implore all parents to a ?? that In their households they have neither In book nor its arepa psi BOT ou canvas anything that will deprave Pictures are no louger the exclusive possession of the affluent. There Is not a respectable home In these cities that has not specimens of woodcut or steel engraving. If not of painting. and your whole family will feel the moral uplifting or depression. Have nothing ou your wall or In books that will familiarize the young with scenes of cruelty and wassail. Have only | those sketches made by artists in ele? vated moods aud none of those scenes that seem the product of artistic de [ llrlum tremeus. Fletarse are not only I a strong but a universal langn ' The human race Is divided Into alnio-t at many languages as there are na? tions, hut the pl?tora* may speak to people of all tongues. Volapuk many have hoped, with little reasou, would become a worldwide language. Hut the pictorial is always a worldwide language, aud printers' types have no ?mphasls compered with it. W? say that children are fond of pictures; but notice any man when he takes up a book and you will see that the thing that he looks at is the pictures. Have only those iu your house that ap? peal to the better uature. One en? graving has sometimes decided an eternal destiny, l.'nder the title of fine arts there have come here from France a class of pictures wh h elaborate argument has tried to ; irreproachable. They would disgrace a barroom aud they uecd to be coots* catcd. Your children will carry tbe pictures of their father's bOOSS with them clear on to the grave, and. iwss kig that marble pillar, will take them through tier ally. Furthermore, let all reformers, and all Sabbath school teachers and all Ctylstiau workers realize that, if they woukl be effective for good, they must make pictures, If not by chalk on t)tacKt)oarc..>, or kindergarten designs, or by pencil on canvas, then by words. Arguments are soon forgottCS? out pic? tures, whether In language or In colors, are what produce strongest effect*. Christ was always telling what a thing was like, and his sermon on the mount was a great picture gallery, beginning with a sketch of a "city on a hill that cannot be hid" and ending with a tempest beating against two Imnses, one on the rock and the other ou tbe sand. The parable of the prodigal son, a picture: parable of the sower who went forth to sow, a picture; parable of the unmerciful servant, a picture; parable of the ten virgins, a picture; parable of tbe talents, a picture. The world wants pictures, and the appe? tite begins with the child, who con? sents to go early to bed if the mother will sit lieslde him and rehearse a sto? ry, which Is only a picture. When we see how much has been accomplished In secular directions by pictures Shakespeare's tragedies, a picture; Vic? tor Hugo's writings, all pictures; John Ituskln's and Tennyson's and Longfel? low's works, all pictures?why not en? list as far as possible for our churches and schools and reformatory work and evangelistic endeavor, the power of thought that can be put into word pic? tures, If not pictures In color? Yea, why not all young men draw for them? selves on paper with pen or pencil their coming career, of virtue if they prefer that of vice If they prefer that. After making the picture put it on the wall or paste It on the fly leaf of some favor? ite book that you may have It before you. I read of a man who had been exe? cuted for murder, and the jailor found afterward a picture made on the wall of the cell by the assassin's own hand, a picture of a flight of stairs. On the lowest step he had written: "Dis? obedience to parents;" on the secoud, "Sabbath breaking;" on the third, "drunkenness and gambling;" on the fourth, "murder," and on the fifth and top step, "a gallows." If that man had made that picture before he took the first step, he uever would have taken any of tbera! Oh, man. make another picture, a bright picture, an evangelic? al picture and I will help you make It! I suggest six step? for this Right of stairs. On the first step write the words. "A nature changed by the Holy Ohost and washed in the blood of the lamb;" on the second step, "Industry and good companionship:" on the ..ilrd step. "A Christian borne with a family altar;" on the fourth step. "Kver wid? ening usefulness;" on the fifth step "A glorious departure from this world;" on tbe sixth step. "lleaveu. hear, n, heaven!" Write It three times, ami let the letters of the one word be made up of banners, tbe second of coronets and tbe third of thrones! Promise me that you will do that, and I will prom? ise to meet you on tbe slxtb step, If the Lord will, through his pardoning grace, bring me there too. And here 1 am going to say a word of cheer to people who have never had a word of consolation on that subject There are men and women In tbla world by hundreds of thousands who have a fine natural taste and yet all their lives tbst taste baa been sup? pressed, and although they could ap? preciate the galleries of Dresden and Vienna and Naples far more than 9U9 people out of 1.<*K) who visit them, they may never go for they must sup? port their households, and bread and schooling for their children are of more importance than pictures. Though fond of music they ase com? pelled to live amid discord; and though fond of architecture they dwell In elumay stiodes.and though appreciative of all that engravings and paintings can do they are In perpetual depriva? tion. You are going, after you get on tbe slxtb stert of that stairs just ?pok (Continued oa page 4.) "*
