My Hair
"I had a very severe sickness
that took olT all my hair. I pur
chased a bottle of Ayer's Hair
Vigor and it brought all my hair
back again."
W. D. Qu'tnn, Marsailles, 111.
One thing is certain,
Ayer's Hair Vigor makes
the hair grow. This is
because it is a hair food.
It feeds the hair and the
hair grows, that's all there
is to it. It stops falling
of the hair, too, and al
ways restores color to
gray hair.

What the Witness Saw.
"Do you mean to swear," said the
foreman of the jury to tbe witness,
"that at the time of the quarrel that
constitutes tbe cause of this action you
taw the prisoner with a coal scuttle In
his bands making ready to heave It at
his wife?"
"Not exactly," said the witness, with
considerable hesitation. "I mean to
swear that I saw the prisoner with a
coal scuttle in bis hands."
"In what attitude was he then?"
asked the presiding judge.
"Well, now, since your lordship has
asked, I'll tell the truth. The prisoner
was lying down with the coal scuttle
over bis head and bis wife on tbe top
of it."
Tbe jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. London Chronicle.
Blessings Dorn of Sorrows.
The world's greatest blessings have
come out of its greater sorrows. Said
Goethe, "I never bad an a miction
which did not turn into a poem." No
doubt tbe best music and poetry in all
literature had a like origin, if we could
only know Its whole story. It Is u Hi

rhllnMOiihy of Fatigue.
"Some may Le interested to know
that there is now almost a new kind
of philosophy of fatigue," says a writer
In Aluslee's. "Some speculators think
man became conscious because ids in
tuitions were slowed up by exhaustion,
so that the mlud has to pick its way
slowly and logically Instead of divining
instantly, as It used to do. It was the
fall of man. Wilder dreamers have
even described tbe origin of cosmic gnf
and nebula?, from which all the worlds
come, as due to progressive fatigue of
tbe ether, which is far more subtle and
back of it It is a little as If tbey were
attempting to rewrite the first phrases
of the Old Testament so that it should
read, 'In the beginning was fatigue.' "

The Man tie Wnntea.
Senator Clark of Montana bad occa
sion once out in Helena to hire a car
riage driver. The roads were moun
tainous, and n skillful mqn was need
ed. On the appointed day the candi
dates for the position appeared. "You
know where the road runs along th'.1
mountain, with the hill on one side and
a gorge on the other, live miles from
here?" asked Senator Clark, and all
the men nodded affirmatively. "How
near can you no to the edge of the
road," was asked, "without upsetting
my carriage V"
The first man snld, "Four feet;" the
nest man answered, "Two feet;" the
third man said that he would drive
closo to the edge, nnd the fourth man
allowed thnt If one wheel was over
the brink he could still turn tbe horses
In time to save the carriage.
At last Mr. Clark turned to a brawny
Irishman. "What would you dot" be
asked.
"Regorra. Mr. Clark," said tbe Irish
man, "I would keep as close to the
side of the hill as I could without pull
ing off a wheel."
"You are the man I want," replied
Mr. Clark, and the Irishman got tbe

A Terrible Death PunUhment.
In England, during the reign ol
Henry VIII., tho public mind became
greatly excited through several cases
of poisoning, and parliament enacted a
law muklng boiling to death tbe pen
alty. This law was on the statute
books about sixteen years. It was
made retroactive, so as to take in a
case that chiefly prompted its enact
mentthat of Itlcbard House, otherwise
Coke, the bishop of Rochester's cook,
who poisoned seventeen persons, two of
whom died. Coke was boiled at Roch
ester. The infliction was attended with
peculiar cruelty, as Coke was put Into
a cauldron of cold water and gradually
cooked to death.
A few years later, in March, 1542, a
young woman named Margaret Davy
was punished In a similur way on con
viction of poisoning. The public were
not satisfied ns to her guilt, and, not
Withstanding the comparatively slow
travel of news in those days, the story
of Margaret Davy's trial and punish
ment soon spread through the king
dom nnd aroused universal horror.
Boiling to death remained on the stat
ute books, however, as long ns Henry
reigned, perhaps because the monarch
himself had a dread of being poisoned.
Immediately after bis death parlia
ment repealed the law.
Conmilnr Clerks.
The law provides for thirteen con
sular clerks and fixes their pay for tin
first five years of service nt S-l.titiO. inn
allows them actual expenses whi-i
traveling or stning in foi pljiii mills
Which is usually the case. Tin' sin
appointed by the president and i-vrvt
practically for life. The st::U:ie gov
ernlng their te;:t'.re provides that n con
sular clerk "(hall not l.e removed (rw.
office except fur cause, stated in writ
lng, which sliull be submitted to con
gross at the session first following sui-l
removal." This Is the only instance I:
the history of the United States when
the house of 'representatives has a ill
rect interest In an ollk-e in the cxecu
tive branch cf the government. In
practically nil presidential appoint
ments the concurrence of the senate is
essential, but this Is the only case
where congress ns a body has an In
terestWashington Star.
A Pre 11 eh Drink.
The French are noted for their deli
cate nnd delicious drinks. The advan
tage of such a one that Is nonalcoholic
is apparent to every one. A favorite
Parisian recipe calls for tive pounds of
raisins, five pounds of dried apples and
five gallons of water. Put all together
in a small cask or large earthen jar
and let it stand uncovered for three
days, stirring occasionally from the
bottom. At the end of that time bottle
with half a teaspoon ful of sugar nnd a
stick of cinnamon in each bottle, fori?
tightly and store in a cool place. The
fruits having fermented, the drink will
keep for a considerable length of t!m
and is really delicious when served ice
cold. It is claimed that over 50,000,000
gallons of this punch were drank In
Trance in a single year.

Tlrs.X. Schneider.
Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 Thirty
seventh I'lace, Chicaeo, III., writes:
"After taking several remedies with,
out result, I began in January, 1901, to
take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I
was a complete wreck. Had palpita
tion of the heart, cold hands and feet,
female weakness, 710 appetite, trem
bling, sinking feeling nearly all the
time. You said I was suffering with
systemic catarrh, and I believe that
I received your help in the nick of time.
I followed your directions carefully
and can say today that I am well again.
I cannot thank you enough for my
cure. I will always be your debtor.
I have already recommended Peruna
to my friends and neighbors and they
all praise it. I wish that all suffering
women would try it. I testify this
according to the truth." Mrs. X.
Schneider.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

No Sunset Tor Five Day.
At the head of the gulf of Bothnia
there is a mountain on the summit of
which the sun shines perpetually dur
ing the live days of June 10, 20, 21, 22
nnd 23. Every six hours during this
season cf continual sunshine a steamer
leaves Stockholm crowded with visits
ors anxious to witness the phenome
non. At the same place during winter
tho sun disappears and is not seen for
weeks. Then it comes in sight again
for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes,
gradually lengthening its stuy until
finally it stays In sight continuously
for upward of 120 hours.
A Qncudon of Color. .
Benjamin Constant when painting
tho portrait of Queen Victoria made
the grand ribbon of the darter, which
was part of his illustrious sitter's eos-
I tume, a certain tone of blue. The
I queen criticised this part of the pic-
I ture, but Constant stuck to his color.
I One day he received from Windsor a
j little parcel containing the order of the
j Garter. Tbe queen, fully convinced
j that she was right, had sent him the
I ribbon to prove his color sense was
I wrong. She did not confer the Garter
upon bim, however.
uoniln i Htd Haired Club.
The Red Haired club of Dublin,
which flourished years ago, was a so

could gain admission by false pretenses
I ;t was required nt the Initiation of each
1 member that the applicant wash bis
hair and whiskers in hot soda and
wuter. This effectually took out any
"dye" thnt might have been used.
