■ --- T . r- 1 I WJ | YEARS | OLD Why let your neighbors know it? J J And why give them a. chance to guess you are even I five or ten years more? Better give them good 1 reasons for guessing the other way. It is very easy; for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray hair. Ager’s Hair vigor is a youth-re newer. 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 I Hair which we will gladly I send you. It you do not obtitn *JI the bene- I flu you expected from the use of the I Vigor. write the doctor about it. I Probably there is some difficulty I with your general system which I may bo easily removed. Address, Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell, Man.

Fruit and Flower Farms.

Small fruit and Cower farms pay well In England; why should they not dose here? The manufacture of jam might be made as profitable in some of our country towns as it Is in the English village of Histon, which formerly had no staple industry. The land all about was neglected, landlords were in despair, and even the farmers were gradually withdrawing to other parts of the country. It occurred to S. Chivers, a highly esteemed farmer, that it would be a good idea, instead of leaving the neighborhood, to start a fruit farm. He did so. This was twentyfive years ago, and, though he then bad only about five hundred acres of land, to-day he has over five thousand. His strawberry fields stretch away across the country. He has provided employment year after year for about six hundred hands to do nothing but pick strawberries, raspberries, plums and apples; and where there was distress, there is now a perfect hive of industry, and prosperity abounds in villages within a radius of ten miles of Histon. Directly the fruit is pickedi, it is carted off and turned into jam. Of course, the field hands are employed only in the fruit season, but in the winter about five hundred hands are employed in the very large factory he has erected in making marmalade and jellies. Floriculture also pays well in rural England. There is an increasing demand for flowers in the great centers of population. and this demand is met. Not only have new flower farms, and especially bulb farms, been established in various parts of the country, but flowers have encroached upon vegetables and even upon fruit in the old market gardens. Some flowers are on sale all the year round, and a considerable number of varieties during the greater portion of the year. The growing of the narcissus is perhaps the most important single division of the open air flower industry. Some six hundred varieties are now known, of which one hundred and twenty are worth cultivating. There are growers of roses under glass who cut blooms for market every week-day in the year; and lilies of the valley, now grown in seasons not natural to them from crowns retarded in refrigerated chambers, can also be obtained all the year roun<k The chrysanthemum is a general favorite, and the quantity produced in the autiimn and winter is simply enormous.

A DOMESTIC INCIDENT

lYomf/i? Obserw. FZtuAinp. Jfiot. “Early in November, 1894.” says Frank Long, who lives near Lennon, Mich., “on starting to get up from the dinner table, 1 was taken with a pain in my back. The pain increased and I 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 toe pain. “My disease gradually became worse, nntH I thought that death would be welcome release from my sufferings. Besides my regular physician I also consulted another. bnt he gave me no encouragement.

On Getting Up from the Table.

“1 was finally induced through reading some accounts in the newspapers regarding the wonderful cures wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them. I took tbe 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, and after using five boxes was entirely enred. “Since that time I bare frit no return of toe 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."

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

AU Washington is laughing at the plight of several government clerks. It has been the custom of the heads of departments to let off clerks who may have relatives in regiments passing through town so that they may have a chance to exchange greetings with the soldier boys. Thia privilege has been considerably abused, but there seemed to be no way of stopping it except to refuse leave to clerks asking it for the purpose mentioned. Saturday the Tenth Cavalry (colored) spent the day in Washington. Notice eras sent around through the departments that clerks having relatives in the regiment would be allowed time to see them. A good many white clerks, possibly forty or fifty altogether, remembered that they had brothers, cousins or fathers in the Tenth, and were given leave of absence to visit their heroes. Imagine the amazement and chagrin of the Caucasians who had played it low down on Unde Sam in order to steal a few hours for pleasure to discover that the boys of the Tenth were black, most of them very black. • • • The commissioners to Paris and the commission that is investigating the army are both to be paid out of the general appropriation for carrying on the war. A liberal allowance was made in the last army bill, to be expended at the discretion of toe President, for unforeseen contingencies, and both the investigating and peace commissions answer that description. The investigators will receive S2O a day in lieu of salary, hotel bills and incidental expenses, and are not required to render accounts. Their traveling expenses are also paid. The compensation for the peace commissioners has not been fixed, and will not be until they have completed their labors. All of their hotel bills and other ordinary expenses will be paid by Mr. Brannagan. toe disbursing officer of the State Department' who accompanied the party, but each commissioner is expected to supply his own pocket money. It is probable that a lump sum will be paid each of them when they return to the United States. That was the case with the members of the Geneva arbitration in 1871 and the Paris arbitration in 1893. * • • Few soldiers in the field nil! enjoy the privilege of casting their l>allots at Jhe next election. In the absence of a national law the State law will prevail, and there are few States on whose statute books are laws granting this privilege. Politicians at both the Democratic and Republican headquarters have been appealed to by a large number of regiments to secure furloughs to enable them to vote. The politicians are helpless, however, because the matter lies between toe War Department and the regiments. Unless the War Department giants the sohiiera furloughs in many instances they will lose their votes. Leaders of both parties are consoling themselves with the fact that toe soldiers are about equally divided as to politics, and as nothing can be done to relieve the situation they are turning their attention to matters nearer home. • • • With the exception of New Orleans, all the principal cities show a healthy increase in postal receipts during the past year. New York leads toe list with a net increase over last year of $586,438.45* Chicago follows with a net increase of 503,454.27. and then follow Philadelphia with 5163.152.f17z Boston with $134.040.11: Brooklyn with $133343.65; St. Louis with $120,882.69. and Baltimore with $98,169.60 increase. Kansas City, Mo., had an increased revenue of $92.and Washington. D. C-, led such cities as Milwaukee. St. Paul. New Orleans, Rochester. Newark. N. J.. Denver, and Providence with a net increase of $44,962.93. New Orleans reported a deficit over last year’s receipts of $1,303.98. • * • The administration will recommend to Congress the revival of the grade of admiral. and the promotion to that rank of Rear Admiral George Dewey, now in command of the Asiatic station. Secretary Long made toe positive announcement that he intended to recommend that the grade of admiral be revived, and that rank be conferred on Rear Admiral Dewey. The President indorses the Secretary. • • • According to the report of the surgeon general of tbe navy, the men-of-war of the United States were the healthiest places in all the world last summer, both afloat and ashore. In the entire navy, of about 24.000 men. there were only rightytour casualties, including accidents and everything, and of these only seventeen resulted in death. • • • Secretary Hay has settled down at once to ihe discharge of the many duties of hds new post. Already have applications for office begun to pour in upon him. but the Secretary finds upon examination that there are no positional in his department within his disposal under the law. • • • Mr. Simon, the new Senator from Oregon. is a Jew. and the third of his race to hold a seat in the Senate. The first was Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana, the next was Mr. Moses of the same State. Both of them were men of distinction and influence. • • • Controller Dawes, who is treasurer of the Lafayette monument fund, received the first contribution for that purpose Monday. It was from Schoolmaster Ha'igh at Ryan. lowa, and amounted to $2.05. , ’ . . i•♦ • 1 Foreign governments are seeking uiformation in regard to the gun practice of the American sailors. They desire to adopt the system in their navies, as such good results were obtained from them in the Spanish war. • • • Information has been received in Washington that an offer is about to be made by the French interests controlling the Panama canal to sell out to the American Government.

Porter Sues the Empress.

The Gorman Empress recently lost her Insignia of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, a valuable jewel surrounded with brilliants. A porter found the bauble and claimed the reward as provided by the laws of Prussia, which give the finder of an article one-tenth of tbe value of the property restored to its owner. Tbe Empress offered him 100 marks, but he refused, and as the Empress would not pay a tenth of what the Insignia was worth the porter has begun a legal action against the Empress’ cabinet.

Our Treatment of Spanish Captives.

Never before in history was there a case where a defeated and captive enemy received such generous treatment as we gave the Spaniards. Equally astonishing are toe cures brought about by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Never has there been so successful a medicine for stomach and liver disorders like dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness and constipation.

A Big Meteor.

Dear.

It is natural for a rich man to become familiar with a professional man he hires and to address his physician as “My dear doctor.” But to his solicitor he 'would not' say, “My dear lawyer!” although the legal man's fee would be quite as good.—New Orleans Picayune. 1
