LIFTY YEARS OID Why let your neighbors know it? And wby give them a chance to guess you are even five or ten years more? Bettelr give them good reasons for guessing the other way. It Is very easy; for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray hair. Ayer’s 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 bene, fits you expected from the use of the Vigor, write the doctor about It. Probably there Is some difficulty with your general system which may be easily removed. Address, Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell, Mass.

ONE OF THE UNRECONSTRUCTED

He Did Not Know that the War Woe on Again. "I’he war with Spain,” remarked the handsome druuAner from Philadelphia, “may, as our statesmen and orators tell ns, be a blessing In that it has brought together once more in fraternal anion the two sections of the country split wide open by the civil war, bnt while their speeches are all right in a general way, they are lacking in some of the particulars. For Instance, two weeks ago 1 was passing along a remote road in Mississippi. At the ford of a small stream 1 met a man of about thirty years, who was quite as primitive a, specimen as I ever saw In my life. I asked him the way to the place I was after, and, as he was going the same way, I asked him to join me, and wt enlivened the journey by conversation. Naturally, the first thing I spoke aboul r. "ter the preliminaries was the war, and l said I didn’t suppose he had been in the light. “ ‘No,’ he sakl, ‘but my daddy wuz.’ “ ‘How did it happen that be went in and you didn’t?’ I asked. “ ‘I wuzn’t born then, mister,’ he answered looking at me as if I ought to have known better than to ask such a question. “ ‘Oh,’ I hastened to explain when I caught onto what he was thinking about, ‘I don’t mean the last war between the North and the South, but the one that has been on this summer.’ “‘Geewhillikins,’ he exclaimed, ‘has ther’ been another war?* “ ‘Of course there has,’ I said, laughing at his surprise and his ignorance. “‘Well, I’ll be derned,’ he said, after giving himself a moment’s thought; ‘it do seem like ez es we never would git them dang Yankees licked plumb right; don’t it?’ “Then it took.me a minute to comprehend clearly what was in the mind of this far-away, unreconstructed Southerner, and when I did I never let on that he was mistaken In his facts and conclusions, but jollied him along for a mile down the road, when he turned off into the Yvoods and left me to pursue my way alone, wondering what there was in the world that we had not yet heard of.”

Pith of Indian Corn in War.

The American consul general at St. Petersburg gives this account of a trial of cornstalk pith made by the Russian admiralty board on the proving grounds at Poligon, near St. Petersburg: “A cof-fer-dam six feet long, siv feet deep and three feet broad was packed with blocks of cellulose made from the pith of Indian corfi stalks. The material was supplied by the Marsden Company of Philadelphia. A six-inch solid shot was fired through the dam, striking It about twenty inches from the bottom. The shot passed clear through both the iron walls and the cellulose packing. Less than half a pound of the cellulose was carried out by the projectile. The water compartment of the dam was filled, giving % pressure of nearly five feet of water on the perforated surface. In just half an hour a'moist spot began to show on the outer surface of the dam, but it was evident that the moisture had come along the bottom of the packing and not along the path of the shot. In sous hours no water had come through the shot’s path. The experiment conclusively demonstrated that a ship provided with a coffer dam* packed as was the one used in the experiment, could be perforated five feet below the water line without the least clanger of the entrance of w r ater. This demonstration opens up an immense market for American corn-pith, and Will prove of great advantage to American agriculture.”—Chicago Times-Herald.

A DOMESTIC INCIDENT

From the Observer, Flushing, Mio ’i. “Early in November, 1894,” says Frank Long, who lives near Lennon, Mich., “on starting to get up from the dinner table, I was taken with a pain in my back. The pain increased and 1 was obliged to take to my bed. The physician who was summoned pronounced my case muscular rheumatism accompanied by lumbago. He gave me remedies and injected morphine into my arm to ease the pain. “My disease gradually became worse, until I thought that death would be welcome release fhom my sufferings. Besides my regular physician I also consulted another, but *,e gave me no encouragement.

On Getting Up from the Table.

“I was finally induced through reading some accounts in the newspapers regarding the woliderful cures wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them. I took the pills according to directions and soon began to notice an improvement in my condition. Before the first box was used I could get about the house, find after using f|ve boxes was entirely cured. “Since that time I have felt no return of the rheumatic pains. I am confident that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills saved my life and I try to induce my friends who are sick to try the same remedy. 1 will gladly answer inquiries concerning, my sickness and wonderful cure, provided stamp is enclosed for reply. “FRANK LONG”

POLITICS OF THE DAY

HIGH OR LOW PRICES. The following question was asked of Mr. Owen, fusion candidate for Congress in Minneapolis: Supposing the present amount of money is doubled and that prices in consequence should increase in the same proportion, where would the benefit come in? For example: A now sells 1,000 bushels of wheat for $500; after the increase in money he gets SI,OOO for his wheat, but he can buy no more with his SI,OOO than he could with his $500? Mr. Owen’s answer was as follows: “If one is to spend his entire income as he goes along, gives no thought to accumulation, and is out of debt, it would make no difference, providing everything w’ent up ordown in exactly the same proportion. But no man is prosperous unless he sells more than he buys. The laborer must sell his labor for more than it costs him to live or he is ever a slave; the farmer must get more for his crops than it costs to produce them or he will be in the same fix; the merchant must sell more than he buys, including cost of doing business, or he will soon be a bankrupt. If a farmer sells 1,000 bushels of wheat for SSOO and expends in the operation S4OO he has SIOO left. If he gets double price for his w'heat and pays double expenses his balance is S2OO. If he is in debt, and that is the condition of most farmers, unfortunately, the difference to him is enormous, for he can pay twice as much debt with the same effort as under low prices. But it is not true that all products will advance exactly alike. Destroy trusts, for instance, and without that no monetary system will afford much relief, and many articles of necessity would not advance because they are already higher priced than they would be if competition obtained in their manufacture and sale. And again, processes of making many things the farmer has to buy are cheapening much faster than the methods of producing farm crops, and while more abundant money w’ould make the price of the first higher they would ever be relative to cost of production. Railroad transportation would not be higher, because it has not decreased locally with the decrease of price of commodities. Taxes would be no higher by reason of more money, for taxes have not decreased by reason of less money. And certain other fixed or arbitrary charges are in the same condition. But better than all figures and theories are the facts of history and experience, and they prove that prosperity Is always more general and trade and industry flourishing, the people more contented and happier in periods of high prices. At the close of 18G5 Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury, reported officially “that the people are now substantially out of debt,” and that was after a period of excessively high prices and high taxes. There is no better test of the real prosperity of a people than their freedom from debt. In periods of high prices people can and do buy more, homes are better and-better furnished, and their inmates better clothed, deprivations and want are minimized, labor is better employed, merchants are busier, railroads have more to do, factories are crowded with work, and farmers are in their best estate. The world’s ages have been dark or light as money has been scarce or abundant, or prices high or low. No theories of those who now want to enslave the world’s producers by the bond method can dissipate these facts of history.”

Coinage Ratio. Why should the coinage ratio between silver and gold be fixed at 16 to 1? Because that is the proportion, as near as can be ascertained, in which the metals exist in the earth. It is, therefore, the true ratio. Although for several years the production of one metal at that ratio exceeds the other, yet in a long series of .years the total amount produced is very near sixteen times as much silver as gold, or at coinage value, about equal. The table of the production of silver and gold from 1741 to the present time shows that there was produced in that period 360,459,124 ounces of gold and 5,727,841,723 ounces dfc silver. Divide the silver by the gold and you will obtain as the result 15 8-9. That demonstrates that for the period of more than 150 years there was almost exactly 16 times as many ounces of silver produced as of gold, and that the coinage value of the same was about equal. Our gold friends tell us that the mint is open to the free coinage of silver in Mexico and ask why does not that establish the parity of the metals. They talk of Mexico as if it were a gigantic power. Do you know that the commerce of Mexico is not equal to that of the State of Illinois, and would you expect the State of Illinois, unaided by the rest of the States in the Union, to establish the parity of the metals? The reason Mexico does not establish the parity of the metals is because it is not sufficiently powerful In commerce to do so, but when you compare Mexico with the United States you compare apigmytoagiant. You must remember that this great nation is composed of forty-five great States, and that an act of Congress is simply an international agreement in itself among those forty-five great States. In determining what a powerful effect such a nation as the United States would have in establishing the parity of the metals, you must take into consideration the pivotal position that it occupies as to the monetary systems of the world. The silver standard nations, which make their demands upon silver alone for currency, constitute one-fourth of the nations of the world in commercial importance. Gold—Silver—Prosperity. A City of Mexico special to the Boston Herald says: “The general rise in real estate value is noteworthy. Many large industrial concerns are being established here, and large tracts of land near the railway have, in six months, quadrupled in price, while suburban lots -show a continual upward tendency. The city is growing as never before in its history, and electric traction street car lines are now being definitely assured, and all material bought. People are beginning to buy lands outside of city limits. The suburbs are all showing a healthy growth, and In the heart of the-city the tearing down of old buildings and replacing them with modern ones goes on without cessation. And this seems to be an example of conditions throughout the republic.” How Is it possible that a gold standard paper, in gold standard New England, can give publicity and credence to such reports about a silver standard country, a country of 50-ceat dollars?

How about that other country, composed largely of the same kind of people that inhabit Mexico, that gold standard country, Spain? A written answer is not necessary, everybody knows it. Only a little over a year ago the foregoing description would have applied to Japan as well as Mexico. Japan was a silver, or bimetallic, country, and was developing and prospering in a marvelous manner. She was buncoed into adopting the gold standard, and is now in the market as a heavy borrower of gold to relieve the severe business depression she is experiencing! Wat may distract attention from it for a time, scarcity of products may for a few months seem to disprove it, but the passing years proclaim with doleful emphasis that the gold standard Is a blight that withers wherever it strikes. Silver Remonetization. Republicans who are extremely anxious to convince the people that silver sentiment is dead are saying that “events have changed the conditions since 1890.” In what direction have the conditions been pression of the people because of the gold standard relaxed in any degree? Are the prices of real estate advanced? Has the farmer experienced any benefits not brought about by foreign causes, such as the famine in India and the short crop of wheat abroad? As a matter of fact, the necessity of bringing about the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to \ is more apparent today than ever. And as another matter of fact, there are more people to-day in the United States who favor such a change than there were in 1890. In the south the silver question is very much alive, but not more so than in the west and northwest. So far as labor is concerned, the conditions are such as to demand the remonetization of silver. In this connection the Atlanta Constitution says: “In certain classes of labor—the cotton operatives of New England—wages I are in some instances below the pauper •

labor of Europe. A gold standard advocate will either not admit this or he will say that it is not a serious matter; but it is a very serious matter, indeed. By cutting off a part of our money supply we have suffocated demand in our home markets. To remedy this we have reduced wages to the European pauper level in order that we may compete with the products of this pauper labor in its own natural markets. Can that which gives the whip hand to misery, poverty, distress and degradation in this country be called a great victory for American trade?” No, indeed; silver sentiment is not dead, nor have events changed the conditions since 1896. The monetary question is the great issue of to-day and will continue to be the great issue until it is settled and settled right. ! ixteen to One or Bust, In response to a letter of inquiry written to Secretary Gage, the treasurer of the department at Washington states the total cost of the Spanish war from the beginning until August 31st after the close at $105,000,000. This is than half the amouut of the gold the McKinley administration is now hoarding in the treasury, yet it has had the hardihood to force an issue of $200,000,000 in bonds to draw interest from the scanty earnings of American labor! This money waß not borrowed for war purposes, but to prevent the circulation Of other money—of the $200,000,000 In Mr. McKinley’s Wall street “war chest.” The Wall street plutocracy compels the producers of the country to pay interest on one bond issue after another in order “to maintain the gold reserve”—that Is, to keep over $200,000,000 in gold locked up out of circulation in order to Increase the demand for and interest on national bank notes. A national bank note represents the extreme of inflation. It is 100 cents less than nothing. To demonetize silver and lock up gold in order to force the inflated and valueless paper of private corporations into circulation on the public credit is not only to invite but to compel panic after panic. For the business of the country—not less than for the Democratic party—it is 16 to lor bust! —St. Louis Journal of Agriculture. Japan Was Buncoed. There was no country in the world more prosperous than Japan, until she was induced to adopt the gold standard. When the usurers got their clutch on her throat, strangulation speedily ensued. “War indemnity” is not the trouble. Germany was prosperous until she fell under the gold standard. She conquered Austria and France and created the German Empire under the silver standard. Her troubles began when the usurers induced Bismarck to accept the gold standard. That great man bitterly repented what he called a great mistake, claiming that he had been misled by the “financiers.”— Cleveland Recorder. To V- hitewash A leer. It is quite just to call the committee appointed to investigate the conduct of the war “McKinley’s committee.” McKinley appointed the members of this committee to investigate the proceedings of Alger, who was also appointed by McKinley, and it looks as though the whole thing would be strictly a family affair. The whitewashing Job

baa begun. The Chicago Democrat feels justified to calling it a whitewashing job from the faet that a large working majority of the members of this committee is made np of strong administration partisans, and from the conduct of the committee since it arrived in Washington. It is alleged that all of the members of the committee seem to be “very friendly to the administration.” This is significant of the kind of verdict that will be rendered. Should the committee continue to work in secret it wHI demonstrate its inability to understand the temper of the people, and its findings will have little or no weight when they are made public. Too Bad Abont th; Incentive. Under a system in which all could have plenty they tell me there would be no incentive to work, says J. A. Wayland. A tenant who gets all the crop could have no incentive—he must give some rent lord half he raises for an Incentive! Or a man working for a dollar a day would have no incentive if he got $10.50. People who live in shanties would have no incentive to live if they were furnished good houses with all conveniences of science! There would be no incentive to board a train at one-fonrth to one-half cent a mile, instead of paying the railroad kinga 3 cents more. It is too bad about the incentive business. Reform Needed in Army AfFolra. The only way in which we can avoid a repetition of the misconduct of our armies in ease we again become involved In war is a reorganization of our military system on the latest and most approved lines of the science of warfare, and to absolutely eschew polities In its administration. We do not require a large standing army, but we do need a thoroughly modernized, unified system capable of standing any strain that may be put upon it.—Detroit Free Press. Just So. McKinley was elected President be cause he was powerless to do aught bu! the will of his masters. Of a quiet dis position, orderly and well disposed, he takes cave of his family, goes to church, and leaves Lombard and Wall streets to take care of the state. An Incredible Report.

He Drew on Him.

It is riot safe to presume too much on a stranger’s knowledge of-eommer-cial and legal terms. J. E. Watrons, Deputy United States Marshal of Southern Kansas, narrates an incident which occurred when Kansas was not the cultivated commonwealth it has since become. Mart Hoover, a resident of one of our rural towns, sent a consignment of corn to a commission merchant in Kansas City. In due time the merchant telegraphed, “Your credit is $27.40. Draw on me at sight.” But Hoover was angry. He had expected his money, not a telegram. He felt that he had been duped, and treasup the grievance. About six weeks the commission man went to Hoover’s town, got out of the omnibus, and started to walk down the street. Hoover saw him, and instantly drew his revolver and fired. His eye was fairly good. The bullet cut away the merchant’s necktie and unfastened Lis collar. Then Hoover put up his revolver. “That’s expensive shootin’,” said he, -“but I reckon you’re as sox-ry as I am.” “What do you mean?” demanded the town constable, who came up at the moment. “He told me to,” said Hoover, surprised. “Told you to?” demanded the whitecheeked city man. “I never did anything of the kind.” “You did,” said and drawing out the telegram, re reat>, “ ‘Draw on me at sight.’ I done it,” he said.— Youth’s Companion.

About Love—They Tell Us

That it is terrible to be obliged to love by contract. That you can trust your dog to the end; a woman—until her first opportunity. That of all heavenly bodies, the heaviest is the woman that we have ceased to love. That it is about as hard to hide your love as it is to hide a sneeze; neither of them can be repi’essed. That before pi'omising a woman to love only her, one should have ;seen them all, or see only her. That love pleases more than marriage, for the x-eason that roman Iti more pleasant than history. That a woman who pretends tn laugh at love is like the child who brings at night when he is afraid. That the highest mark of esteem a womgn can give a man is to ask his friendship, and the most signal proof of her indifference is to offer hi™ hers. That love-making is dreadfully tame beside a hot-air register or a steam elevator. That may be one reason why so many remain single nowadays. In “ye olden time,” when lovers toasted their shins before a log fire, the cracking of the wood filled up all awkwavi gaps, and things went on so smoothly that one had said “will you?” and the other “yes,” before they knew what they were doing.

Only One Man.

"Extra! extra!” ring the shrill voices of the newsboys. “’Nother victory! Extra! extra!” A young girl, hurrying through the darkening street, pauses a moment to catch the glad tidings; then, choosing the smallest of the ragged urchins who instantly gather about her, she slips her pennies into his grimy band and eagerly seizes a paper. Ten minutes more and she is flinging open the door of a quiet room where a grave-eyed woman sits by the window, gazing out into the autumn twilight. “Quick, mother, a light!” rings the Impetuous young voice. “I have news Sfrom the war. Another victory, and only one man lost!” A glad cry falls from the mother's lips as she hurries to the table, and with trembling hand lights the small lamp. Both faces are eager, strained, as the younger woman reads rapidly the Joyful news. “Only one man lost ” she pauses. and the other exclaims, “Thank God!” but the paper has slipped from the daughter’s hand, the joy has faded from her eyes, the color from her lips. Another instant and the sheet is In the mother’s hands. Ttife sudden fears that clutched at hex heart tell her the truth before her eyes fasten upon the fatal words—the name of the lost man. The clock ticks relentlessly in the corner, the fire dies out and the ruddy embers turn gray; the light of the little lamp sinks lower and lower, flickers, and is gone. Still the two women cling to one another in the darkness; the silence is unbrokep. Only one man? Only their whole world!—Kate Whiting Patch.

Why He Quit the Stage.

There Is in Philadelphia a man who abandoned the theatrical profession because he could not lift Fanny Davenport He was a member of one of the local stock companies about twenty years ago, when Miss Davenport came to Philadelphia with one of the men of her company sick. She applied to the knanager of the theater in which the young man referred to was employed for some one to take the sick man’s place, and as the young actor was not in the cast of the play then running his services were loaned to Miss Davenport. He was cast for the part of Gaius Lucius in “Cymbelline,” and the business of the part required that he should take Miss Davenport in his arms and carry her off the stage. The lady weighed considerably more than he did, and when he attempted to pick her up he found that his strength was not equal to the task. His struggles caused the audience to laugh, and that spoiled a good scene. He was so humiliated that he left the profession after that engagement.

Regular Sleep.

“I And,” said the middle-aged man, “two things: That I need just about so much sleep, and that I need it at just such hours. What suits me best is to go to bed at 10 o’clock and get up at 6. If I go to bed at 12 I am likely to wake up in the morning at 6 anyway, or soon after, and then I get a short night’s sleep, which is bad for me; and even If I sleep over, until 7 or even 8 o’clock, so that I get my full amount of sleep, it does not refresh me as the same amount does taken at my accustomed hours. I don’t feel the same. “Here is another thing that I observe: If I get a short night’s sleep I seem to have to make this up. That is, one night’s full sleep after a short night does not bring me back to feeling quite like myself again. It takes me two or three nights of sleep to get back to normal. “All of which means that I find I can work to the best advantage on regular sleep at regular hours, and I don’t believe I am alone in this.”—New York Sun.
