Why let your neighbors know it? And why give them a chance to guess you are even five or ten years more?

Better give them good reasons for guessing the other way. It is very easy for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray hair.

Vigor

is a youth-renewer. It hides the age under a luxuriant growth of hair the color of youth.

It never fails to restore color to gray hair. It will stop the hair from coming out also.

It feeds the hair bulbs. Thin hair becomes thick hair, and short hair becomes long hair.

It cleanses the scalp removes all dandruff, and prevents its formation.

We have a book on the Hair which we will gladly send you.

If you do not obtain all the benefit® you expected from the use of the Vigor, write the doctor about it. Probably there is some difficulty with your general system whJcn may b** easily removed. Address,

Co-Edudation Badly Spoiled.

MOT

because having the girls about was repugnant to the young meu of Wabash college not because the girls tried to steal some of the budding youths away not that there was any immediate danger of the young ladies forcing the doors of the conservative old institution to open to them not for any of these reasons has the high school classes been moved from Wabasrh's classic shades to quarters in Music Hall. There is an old legend which tells of the ancient father who after the death of his wife became a woman hater and carried her infant son to a far away spot in the mountains, determined that he never should look on a woman's face. He grew to manhood before he saw one. He was smitten at first glance and on inquiring what it was his father described it as a very dangerous thing called a goose, which all men for safety must avoid, but the boy yelled, "I'll get it if it kills me," and started for the girl. It broke the father's heart, and the tale ends. It seems that girls about the halls of Wabash were strange beings to the secluded students a little experimenting revealed the fact that they could be easily scared and stampeded, so they were tantalized by the presence of bugs, grasshoppers, frogs and mice about the rooms, and occasionally a foot ball would fall in the midst of a group and be followed by half a dozen shock-headed freaks, which might well be taken for natives of Gaum, and who laughed in scorn at feminine •screeches. All ideas of co-education have disappeared from their minds now, after their experiences with those who have been taught that the gentler sex wasn't in it, and are satisfied to seek the shades of a -hall down town. This is the reason, I am informed,* that the boys pre by themselves at Wabash. I had hoped the old legend would have been repeated, but years of teaching has eradicated the idea of the hermit boy of old and the hermit boy of to-day will use the girl as a target to create sport. Which is the better way

•To Hon. Bellamy Storer goes the honor of being the first representative of the United States at Madrid after the conclusion of the terms of peace between this country and Spain.

ed in the practice of law and gave his attention to the pursuit of his profession until he entered public life as a member of the Fifty-second congress from the First Ohio district. He was re-elected to the Fifty-third congress and was a member of the committee on foreign affairs. In 1897 Mr. Storer was appointed minister to Belgium, so that he is well equipped for the diplomatic service that will be required of him as minister to Spain.

He is a man of large private means. About 20 years ago he married Miss Maria Long worth, daughter of Nicholas Longworth, the pioneer wine producer of Ohio. Her fortune, received from her father, was said to be about $10,000,000.

Tolstoi at Work.

Count Tolatoi is like one of the great painters of old. After forming the plan of his work and gathering a great number of hia studies he begins with a charcoal sketch, so to epeak, and writes rapidly, not thinking of details, saye The Arena. When be writes in this way he gives it to Countess Sophia An: dreevna to copy out, or to one of the daughters, or to one of his intimate friends to whom this task may give pleasure.

Lyof Nicolaievitch, Count Tolstoi, generally writes on quarto paper, of rather poor quality, in a big, ropelike handwriting, writing about 20 pages a day, amounting to some 4,000 or 5,000 words. He has no special habits with regard to pens and paper, and when a firm in Moscow conceived the idea of giving the world a 'Tolstoian pen" it was discovered that on the subject of pens "Count Tolstoi had no opinion."

Hero of Two Wars.

General Arthur MacArthur, who has distinguished himself in the Philippines, had a reputation for ability and valor made in the civil war to live up to.

Though born in Massachusetts, Arthur MacArthur was living in Wisconsin when the civil war began. He entered the volunteer service as a lieutenant in the Fourteenth Wisconsin infantry Aug. 4, 1862. He was promoted

to major of the regiment on iy 18, 1805. He was brevetted twice, fir^t as lieutenant colonel and then as colonel for "gallant and meritorious service' in several battles, among these, bein Stone River, Missionary Ridge and the Atlanta campaign. He received in addi tion tl)e medal of honor "for coolness and conspicuous bravery in action in seizing the colors of his regiment in a critical moment and placing them on the captured works on the crest of Mis aionary Ridge, Tennessee, Nov. 25, 1868 while in service as first lieutenant of the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin infantry."

Force of Habit.

"Of course you can't imagine what curious experiences we have with sick people." confided a trained nurse. "I have just come from a very interesting case—a dear eld lady, lovely in every way, but utterly unmanageable and unreasonable on the subject of early rising The.dear woman cannot turn over in her bed or put her hand to her head— she is fatally ill, poor creature—but she wakes me every morning at 5 o'clock to have her face and hands bathed and her cap changed. 'Oh.' I groan, 'it is only 5 o'clock, Mrs. Lorrimer that is too early for sick people to get awake! Let us hnve another little nap.' 'No. no. she always answers 'my father reared me to get up at 5 clock I can disobey my training You must make my toilet. I mustn't sleep any longer.' "So I have to get awake, prepare the dear old lady for the day—30 years old she is. and weak and sick—ju.=t because she was reared by a fath#r with abnormal ideas of rising time.

Wonderfnl Appetite.

The digestive power of the heron is remarkable, as well as its capacity and ability to swallow large fish, says Forest and Stream The neck seems to expand as if made of india rubber—the fish slips down, and the bird is ready for another In eating beef, large bones are swallowed intact On one or two occasions after feeding beef this way, great alarm was felt, as the birds showed signs of great distress, but the uneasiness was soon calmed when the bird threw up a large bone, clean and white, the meat having been thoroughly digested

In eating catfish they instinctively pierce it with their strong beaks, until there is no question in their simple minds but that it is harmless. If in their hurry to swallow their food, it goes down the throat covered with sand or trash, they immediately eject it, carry it to the water and, having rinsed it well, swallow it again

The Intelligent Jury.

Law court stories were especially at tractive to Hicks, and he told many of them. His great story, which was almost a dramatic sketch, was of the ac quittal of a Cornish doctor who was charged with the murder of his mother-in-law by mixing arsenic with a dish ol rabbits and onions, which he gave hei for supper. The setting of the court, the swearing of the jury, the speeches of counsel, and the judge's charge were all related by Hicks with marvelous humor.

The climax to the fun was the con fabulation of the jury as to the verdict they should give, and their individual reasons for returning a verdict of ac quittal—from the juryman who "didn't hold with old 'oman eating rabbits and onions for supper" to the juryman who declared that "it wasn't a ha'po'th of odds to him, and 'twas but an old 'Oman."—Comhill Magazine.

Siamese! Mneic.

Siamese magicians profess to be able to destroy your enemy for you. They first bewitch part of a buffalo till it becomes as small as a pea. When your enemy has been induced to swallow it they make it return to its original size, and after suffering great agonies he suffocates. Pig's flesh and fish are also used. When these people die, the reason can be detected, because at their cremation some part of their body refuses to burn, and when it is cut open it contains fish or meat of some animal. A small boy died recently and was cremated. A certain part of the child's chest refused to burn, and they got it examined and found it to be a piece of *alt pork I

Thereupon they nil stopped smoking loug enough to look at him inquiringly. "I was thinking," he said, that th» sweet voice that conies to you over th« telephone very often is about the only stock in trade of a wall eyed girl who is homely enough to scare the chickens out of a barnyard, and that tho pretty and petite little thing that you admire on the street or in a tableau somewhere may turn out to have a voice and a temper that are both closely allied to a buzzsaw trying to out its way through a railroad spike Imbedded iu a log of wood.''—Chicago Post

/WASHINGTON IRVING

H« Wl.a an I'tter Failure am an After Dinner Speaker. Washington Irving was not a ready after Winner speaker. The author of

American Bookmen" says that he ihunnfld public appearances. Yet when Dickens came to New York, in 1842, Irving could not escape presiding at the gr^it dinner in his honor. They had alreflJy become friends through correspondence, for Irving's delight in Little Ntll had to be expressed in a letter to the author, and Dickens, in his enthusiastic response, had said: 'Diedrieh Knickerbocker' I have worn to death in my pocket, and yet I should show you his mutilated carcass with a joy beyond expression."

The night of the public dinner came, and Irving's dread of the introductory Speech kept him murmuring throughout the repast. "J shall certainly break down."

At the proper time he rose to his feet, began bravely, but could only utter a few sentences, and ended by taking refuge in the announcement of the toast: "Charles Dickens, the guest of the nation."

The applause was generous, and Irving took his seat. "There!" he said. "I told you I should break down, and I have don6 it t'

Later, while on his way to Madrid, he found himself called upon at the dinner of the Literary fund in London to respond to the toast, "Washington Irving and American literature." All he could say in acknowledgment of an enthusiastic reception was: "I beg to return you my very sincere thanks

If you were at the other end of the tube, you would hear a well bred question: "Is Mrs. Smithers in?' "Who is it?" (Emma is uncompromising. "Is Mrs. Smithers in?" "What's your name?" (Fortissimo.)

Cranky Vessels.

tA-en the best designers never know bow their ships will turn out when completed. They may break all records for speed, or they may be so slow as to be entirely useless—a mere waste of money.

Years ago two mud barges were built at San Francisco, exactly alike, constructed from one design. One of them was quite commonplace, but the other raced every barge in the bay and beat them all raced every yacht on the Pacific coast and beat them. She was so fast that yachts were bnilt on her lines, but turned out mere barges for sloth. Nobody could see how this craft differed from her crawling sisters or from the yachts.

In 1851 tho America went to Cowes, England, and raced for a prize cup. She won that trophy, and then an Englishman bought her and improved her hull, stiffening it with knees throughout After that she lost .every race.

Obeying tlie Robin's Warning. In some parts of Warwickshire the tapping of a bird around the house is looked upon by the superstitious as a warning.

General

Ftti-Hngh tee'« Desperate tempt to Make a Train.

General Lee had an experience recently, says the Richmond Times, that was a little aggravating to him. As soon as he received tho telegram asking him to come to Washington bo made preparations to leave on the train that passes Elba station soon after 7 o'clock. He was not aware of tho fact that a new 6chulule had gone into effect and that the train left a few minutes earlier than formerly. He bade his family goodby and walked leisurely over to the station. At Laurel and Franklin he stopped to chat with a friend, thinking he had plenty of time. During the conversation he saw tho train coming. It was at Alain and Belvidere. A street cai came along, and the general lost no timo in boarding it He asked the conductor to make the best time possible. The cracked his whip and th» mules started off at a gallop.

Thero were but two passengers othoi than General Lee in the car. One wa» a drunken man. He wanted to get ofl at Franklin and rang the bell frantically as soon as the car got up speed. The driver checked the team. General Leo begged him' not to stop, but the driver said he was compelled to give tho passenger time to get

riff.

"You go ahead, and I will take care of tho passenger,'' said Geneiial Lee. The mules were again made to show their heels, while the general tried to handle the intoxicated passenger. "My friend," 6aid the general, "yon wish to get off at Broad street and not Franklin.''

How in thunder do you know?'' asked the man. "Because I am a student of human nature. I am your friend. Please do sit down."

By tho time Broad street was reached the gates went down and the car stopped abruptly. General Lee jumped out just in time to soe the train go by at too great a speed for any man to board It.

WAR AND COMMERCE.

There Is Already a Decided Demand Fov American Goods In tho Orient No matter what disposition is made of the Philippine islands, it is safo to say that the United States will not fail to use them for tho advancement of our commercial interests. This government cannot fail to see tho importance of the islands as a base for the expansion of our market in tho orient. Neither will it fail to note tho recent aggressions of England, -France, Germany and .hi] nn in tho direction of the acquirement ol greater commercial advantages in China. The civilizing forces of the next century arc certain to reach farther into tho interior of this vast empire, and where civilization goos the wants and necessities of man are increased. America must be in a position to have a share in supplying these wants. There is already a decided demand for American goods in the east. It is but a question ef tin.e when America will lind in
