The Little Fellow a Sufferer from Abscess.

Others Failed but Hood's Sarsaparllla Cured Him. "I have a boy, nine years old, who has been a great sufferer from an abscess, which was caused by a brace worn for spinal curvature. For two years after the abscess was lanced, he was unable to help himself at all. We had the best physicians in our reach, but they did him 110 good. They all said he could live but a short time and advised us to give him ao more medicine. We followed their advice for a year and did not give him anything. Then we gave him Heod's Sarsaparilla, and before he had finished taking one bottle we

It was not long before he could walk on his hands and knees and then on crutches, and in a year after he begun taking Hood's Sarsaparilla he laid aside the crutches, .and the abscess finally healed. Today he is able to, go to school and join in the sports of the other children. I am satistied that Hood's Sarsaparilla saved my boy's life, and I cheerfully recommend this medicine to any one afflicted." John B. Rilky, 230 East Main Street, Crawfordsville, Ind.

PRESERVE THE HAIR..

Bonn Useful Suggestloni! to Tliono Who Valae What Is Invaluable. Avoid tight fitting hats and collars, also close fitting caps, unless these be of some porous material. The two former prevent a due supply of blood to the parts hence the hair papillae are put, as it were, on short commons all the time the hats and collars are worn. The caps engender caloric, which sets np irritation and ultimately that most ..stubborn form of dandruff—namely, pityriasis (i. e., branny scales). Note that all the headgear which is not porona should be ventilated at top and sides to allow a free current of air.

Never sit or stand with the top of the head near a gas light or lamp light. The heat thrown out is apt to paralyze the scalp tissues and dries np the hair itself.

Don't wash the head oftener than onoe a fortnight, when first rub in the yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinso out with warm water, into which lias been thrown a pinch of borax. Dry carefully and apply a little pure olive oil.

Beware of the common practice of dipping the comb in water when arranging the hair. It promotes decomposition and rancidity of the natural oil, and so leads to "rotting."

If the hair be naturally dry, apply a little olive oil occasionally. If naturally oily, occasionally wash away the' excess of sebaceous secretion by means of a lather or tepid water and soap bark (Qnitlaya saponaria).

Salt water is most injurious to the hair, for which reason when sea bathing wear an oil cap.

Always treat the scalp as if you loved it. Take to heart Dr. Godfrey's dictum that "every touch affecting so delicate a4exture as the scalp should be soft'and soothing, every application bland and mild."- Don't use stiff bristled or wire brushes, and in all cases brush gently. Also, always brash out the hair befov .attempting to comb it, ant? flsie che comb as nttle as possible.

Have the endH of the hsu'ir clipped once a month, if only to prevent them from splitting. But dfuu't close crop.—Philadelphia Tinfiee.

SHE OUTTALKED DUMAS

-How Clever Irish Girl Got Ahead of tl«a Academician* Dumas fils had curt manners. Ho was ehy. Like most shy people, he vanquished this defect by going into the other extreme. He softened as he grew old and took a relative polish at the meetings of the academy. The tongue was always shrewd it could be crael. The code of social amenities was at the time I. speak of a sealed book to him. I recolJecfc a tilt between him and an Irish girl, brought np in Paris, who sat opposite to him at dinner. She was singularly plain. Ent her uglfness was most amusing, and she was a witty, good

tempered being. The nose was short, funny, retrousse, the mouth wide and laughing and the tongue lisping, but, as the French say, bien pendue for repartee.

Dumas, after staring some time at .her, put his forefinger to the tip of his semiaquiline nose and pushed it up. He kept it eo for some time, still storing. The pantomime was grossly impertinent. -I thought—and so did every one else—ttyrt the poor girl would buret ihto tears. $ho° laughed, not a bit hysterically, and, -fMlipg she was an object of general attention and of sympathy, made a fanny remark on the grimace that M.

The V.'ny to Eat Cauuj.

I think much of the outcry against caudy is the rf»viit of wrong methods of use. It can often be safely taken at meal time with good results. Scientists say that the fogd value (X sugar is very great. A pound of sugar contains much more energy and power to support animal life than a pound of meat. If candy le taken under such conditions that it will not derange the digestive apparatus, tt is perfectly wise and rational to be a sandy eater.—Annals of Hygiene.

lilackle'H Student Day*.

He wandered in the Harz and the Black forest, clad in wagoner's smock, mixing with the people—especially the miners—geologizing as he went, and making intellectual pilgrimages to Weimar and Wurtzburg. At Gottingen Ottfried Mnller and Heeren, the historian, seem to have influenced him most. At Berlin, whither he next went, he studied under Schleiermacher and Neandor, to the latter of whom he was much attracted, and whose teaching appears to have had muck to do with broadening views that were of themselves already stretching far beyond their originally •restricted confines.

Neander once startled his disciple by remarking, "You have some Jewish notions in Scotland with regard to the observance of the Lord's day." Blaclcie, who still considered that "Scottish theology and Christianity were convertible terms," was staggered by the assertion "that one of the most significant observances of Scottish religiousness was not Christian, but Jewish." But the fourth commandment was too deeply imbedded in Blackie for .him to be swayed by such reasoning. He continued to spend his Sundays after the Scotch fashion, and, says he, "I never had cause to regret my conscientiousness -—'Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.' —Blackwood's Magazine.

Falling From the Sail to the lCartli. The philosophers have figured some queer problems since the time Horatio, but none of them is more curious than that relating to the ainouni of time it would take for an object to fail from the sun or moon to our earth, it has been decided, after an immenr-.) amount cf figuring, that if a bowlder weighing a ton should fall from the sun it would take it 99 years, months, 7 dny-s and 2 hours to reach the earth. The same bowlder could make the trip from the moon to the earth in 4% days. —St. Louis Republic.

Tim ^tolian League.

The ^Et liau league was a confederacy of Greek states formed B. C. 32:1 A:i annual assembly was held in the autumn at Thermuiu, and this conference was called the Pausetolicon. The league was dissolved on the conquest of the iEtolian states by the Romans, B. C. 189. The original purpose of the league was to free Greece from the rule of the Macedonian kings.

L«okf, Macaulny and Gladstone. Mr. Lepky was "perfectly*right in declining, as a parliamentary candidate, to answer questions concerning his religions belief. But in oiting Macaulay as an authority for his reticenoe he is not quite accurate.

The inoident to which Mr. Leoky refers occurred at Leeds in 1833. The interrogator was a clergyman, and Macaulay, after exolaiming, "Put that man npon a ohair that I may see him," proceeded to express his regret that a minister of religion should exhibit so intolerant a Hpirit. But having exhausted his indignation be said, "Gentlemen, I am ajDhristian."

Macaulay lost his seat for Edinburgh in 1847 on a religious question, the grievance against him being that he had voted in favor of the grant to Maynooth, the training college for Irish priests. On this subject Mr. Gladstone took a curious and characteristic course. When Sir Robert Peel, as prime minister, proposed the grant in 1845, Mr. Gladstone was secretary of state for the colonies. He, like Macaulay, voted for Maynooth. But finding that such a vote was coutrary to the principles laid dowu in his book on church and state, which he so far recanted, he resigned his office so that his motive for changing his opinion could not be impugned. Mr. Disraeli taunted hkn with convulsing parliament and the country "over the momentous question whether Irish students should sleep three in abed or only two.*—London News.

Impartial.

A remarkable instance of the impartial administration of justice is said to have occurred some years ago in a court of Texas when a young Mexican, charged with having stolen a pistol, was arraigned. He proved beyond all doubt that the pistol was his own, and that it had been in his possession long before the alleged theft occurred.

The case went to the jury at 12 o'clock, the usual hour of adjournment, and the jury, who did not wish to be kept until the court opened again at 3 o'olock, hurried to give in their verdiot.

The foreman, who had been reclining in a peaceful attitude suggestive of slumber during the hearing, turned to his companions, saying: "Well, boys, what do you think? Hadn't we better give him two years?" "All right," responded a juryman. "Put him through, or the judge will adjourn." "Co ahead," said another. "Wo don't want to stay here till 3 o'clock. Hurry up!" "But is he guilty?" inquired a thoughtful old gentleman. "Well," exclaimed the foremau, after a stare of astonishment at this view of the matter, "if you think he ain't guilty, let's clear him!"

A verdict of "Not guilty!" was speedily rendered, and the jurymen cheerfully repaired to the noontide meal.— Youth'8 Companion.

I Muflcat. The interior of Muscat is particularly gloomy, the bazaars are narrow and dirty, and roofed over with palm matting. They offer but little of interest, and if you are fond of the Arabian I sweetmeat called lialwa, it is just as well not to watch it being made there, for niggers' feet are usually employed to stir n, and the "knowledge of this is apt to spoil the flavor. Most of Muscat is now in ruins. Fifty years ago the population must' have been nearly three times greater than it is now. There is also wanting in the town the feature which makes most Moslem towns picturesque—namely, the minaret. The mosques of thelbadhhieli sect are squalid and uninteresting. At first ir is difficult to recognize them from tho courtyard of an ordinary house, but by degrees the ey gets trained to identify a mosque by the tiny substitute for a minaret attached to each—namely, a sort of bell shaped cone about 4 feet li'gh, which is placed above one corner of the inclosing wall.—Contemporary Revuw.

George I V's Queer Clock.

The timepiece ordered of Boucliier by the Due d'Aumale's grandfather, Egalite, for George, prince of Wales, afterward fourth king of England of hiH name, was recently sold in Paris along with other curios of the late M. Leopold Double. Bauchaumont, in his memoirs, devotes a paragraph to this timepiece. "Everyone," he says, "goes to see an odd clock at Furet's, of the Palais Royal. It is a negress' head, modeled admirably jewels are incrusted in the bronze round the neck to form a necklace in the wooly hair, and in the bust as a clasp for the handkerchief. A pair of openwork gold earrings, long and delicately carved, hang from the ears. On pulling one of them, the hour is shown on the right eye and the minute on the left. If the other earring is drawn, a set of musical bells, lodged where the brains should be, chimes out the time of day."—Pall Mall Gazette.

Is There Water In the Sun? Professor Janssen, the astronomer, has recently made a visit to the observatory on the summit of Mont Blanc, to make sure that the new telescope which has been oarried there is uninjured. He took the opportunity to search in the spectrum of the sun for evidences of water in our great luminary. He found no such evidences. The very rare and dry air through which the observation was made, at rho top of the mountain, gives this uegaiivd result much value. But it cannot be said that there is no water in the sun only t?.at nuno has yet been discovered iu its constitution.

WHY THE PATROLMEN MISSED?^

Ad Old Time Match With Revolvers

the Tenderloin Police Station. "The recent order of the police board that all patrolmen shall become proficient in the use of the revolver, said a retirecTsergeant, "reminds me of a little target practice that took place in the cellar of the Tenderloin station house on West Thirtieth street three years ago. There was quite a sporty orowd of patrolmen doing duty in that precinct in those days, and there was always a poker game in the off platoon. The game was run on the dead quiet of course and was played in a small room in the cellar used ordinarily for storing ballot boxes and other election paraphernalia. The boys smuggled a stove down there, and a poker table that was seized in a raid on a gambling house was corralled and placed in the room. "Now, there were two wardmen doing duty in the Tenderloin then, and as they had no regular hours they were able to play along with each platoon without interruption. They were a couple of pretty slick fellows, and it was only a matter of time when they'd have all the money on the table. Eventually it got so that the patrolmen wouldn't play with them any more, and this source of revenue cut off, they hit on the idea of shooting at a target with revolvers at 25 cents a shot. Now, some of these coppers were crackajacks with pis.tols, and they seized the opportunity thus offered to win back the money they had 1 ist at poker. So one night a tomato can was set up at one end of the long cellar, and a lighted candle was placed beside it. Then the men began to shoot. Only two pistols were used, but every time a patrolman shot he missed, while the wardmen bored a hole in the can each time. "Every night for a week the men would shoot, and always with the samo result. The wardmen were winning about §10 apiece a night, wjien the game came to a sudden end. One of the patrolmen suddenly opened the pistol which a wardman had handed him to shoot with and found it loaded with blank cartridges. Then there was a howl, and the bad shooting of the platoon was explained. The other pistol, which the wardmen had been using, was loaded with 32 caliber bullets, and as both were good shots of course they plumbed the can each time. The patrolmen threatened all sorts of things, but the wardmen only laughed and held on to the money they had won. There was no use kicking to the captain about it,- for he'd have preferred charges against every mother's son of them for gambling in the station house, and so the patrolmen swallowed their loss and let the matter drop. But it was along time before they got over it, and some of them are laying for a chance to get even to this day."—

The Yule Log.

In some parts of Germany the Yule log is placed on the hearth on Christmas eve and if possible kept burning for two or three days. Then a piece of it is laid aside for the purpose of lighting the next year's log and of guarding the household from harm. Pieces of firwood charred but not quite burnt out in the Christmas fire are also placed nnder the family bed in some German villages to avert the dreaded lightning stroke, which appears in this relation to be the type of fire in its evil aspect, in contradistinction from the solar orb, the representative of beneficent light and warmth. The custom of burning a Yule log for three days and nights in each homestead is almostcertainly a survival from the adoration once offered to the sun 'lit the winter solstice.

Three centuries after the Christian era sun worship was still maintained in Brittany, and i:i Normandy not more than loo years the household fire was extinguished Dec. 2-1 and the Christmas log was ignited by the aid of a flame procured from the lamp burning in the r.'jighhoring church. This fact affords a curio-M instance cf the probable transference r.f respect end reverence from tlie sacml fire of a purely heathen creed to the restart a*i! ul lights of Catholicism. When the pagan rites for procuring unsullied fire wore forbidden or fell into desuetude, the ideas to which they o-.ved their origin and development, instead of. perishing, continued to exist more or less perfectly by attaching themselves to usages and ceremonies having no direct association with them. —Gentleman's Magazine.

A Fatiguing Fashion.

A strange custom among the Bayanzi, who live along the upper Kongo, has been described by explorers. Brass rings, sometimes weighing 30 pounds, are welded around the nocks of the wives. At first the neck becomes raw by the chafing, but after awhile it becomes calloused, although a woman has to held the ring up frequently to get lolief from the weight. The ring is never put around a woman's neck until she Jaas attained iier full deviiupmr-: r. The women are proud of their oniam -lit, believing that it enhances their importance and beauty.—New York World.
