DM yen ever See a snow sionah Sammer? We never did; but we have seen the clothing at this time of the year so covered with dandruff that it looked as if it i had been out in a regular snowstorm. | s Noneed of this snowstorm. As the summer sun would melt the falling snow so will Ayer’s Hair Vigor J melt these flakes of dandruff In fl the scalp. It goes further than J this: it prevents their formation, fl It has still other properties: fl it will restore color to gray hair I in just ten times out of every fl ten cases. fl And it does even more: it ■ feeds and nourishes the roots fl of the hair. Thin hair becomes fl thick hair; and short hair tcI comes long hair. fl We have a book on the Hair fl and Scalp.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fio Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Sybup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties. The high standing of the California Fig Syrup Co. with the medical profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrnp of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company— CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CM. MVnmtr. Kr.

Ourious Callings.

In India all callings are hereditary; a baker’s son becomes a baker, and bls son after him, and so on from generation to generation. The census, however, reveals some more startling vocations than that of the maker of bread. The people of Allahabad especially are not ashamed of their professions. Thirty-five describe themselves as “men who beg with threats of violence;” 220 as “flatterers for gain;” twenty-five as “hereditary robbers;” 974 as “low blackguards;” twenty-nine as “howlers at funerals,” while as many as 0,372 publicly announce that they are “poets.” In the other*districts one finds, besides the ordinary professions, 11,000 tom-tom players, forty-five makers of crowns for idols, 145 ear cleaners, and —most curious of all “hereditary painters of horses with spots.” The census containing this interesting Information Is kept at the Sanskrit College at Benares.—London Mail.

The World’s Supply of Wheat.

An English expert claims that the wheat producing soil of the world is unequal to the strain that will be put upon it. Even now when the food supply is ample, thousands die because their disordered stomachs fail to digest the food they take. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters strengthen and tone up the stomach and digestive organs.

The Barrel Organ.

-The fact may not be generally known that we owe the barrel organ primarily to the church. Towards the end of the last century barrel organs were very largely used in tbe different churches. In those days organists were few, and large barrel organs, set to hymn tunes and psalm chants and sacred melodies, were far cheaper and a great deal more trustworthy.

SOLVING THE FUTURE WELFARE OF THE CONTINENT.

This Is What Is Now Being Done on the Fertile Prairies of Western Canada. The rapid progress that Is being made in the settlement of the fertile prairies of Western Canada is leading to the investigation of Its resources by those Interested in having provision made for those living In the crowded East, for those who have been struggling for years on impoverished farms, for the repter who is unable any longer to bear up under the strain imposed by the landlord, and for the farmer who, unable to purchase farms for his sons in his own neighborhood, has to look around for lower priced lands. The investigation shows that it is Impossible to meet these conditions successfully outside of Western Canada. Already millions of bushels of wheat are being grown there each year, while as many as 50,000 head of cattle were shipped out this year. A representative of “The Germania,” Milwaukee, one of the leading German papers in the United States, recently made a trip through Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, where lie the free government lands of Western Canada, and in a future issue will appear extracts from flattering letters contributed to the Germania and other papers by their special correspondents. As an inducement for Immigrants to make their homes in Canada, the Canadian Government offers l<io acres of land free of cost to each settler, and Information can be had of any agent of the Government.

ANTI BOODLE CRUSADE.

Chicagoans Oppose J xtension of Street Kailway Franchises. Another war is on in Chicago—a war! against the.boOdiing city aldermen. Chib of them introduced into the Council in ordinance extending the franchises of city railways fifty years from 1903, the present date of expiration. The purpose is to secure action by the aldermen favorable to the street railroads before the repeal of the Allen law. which is expected soon «£ter the Legislature meets. Mayor Harrison is fighting the proposed action of the Council with all his personal influence and the power of patronage. Public meetings are held, and one of the rope manufacturers is engaged in making hangman knots to be worn as buttonhole boquets by honest citizens to suggest the possible fate of boodlers if they sell out the taxpayers. Democrats. Republicans and citizens irrespective of party have assembled in mass meetings in various wards of the city and declared themselves unalterably opposed to any street railway legislation

MAYOR HARRISON.

under the Allen law. Here was a Democratic ward club with every member present; there a citizens" meeting where the hall was overflowing with people. But in each place.the sentiment was the same —opposition to boodle legislation. “No Council legislation for the street railway companies,” says Mayor Harrison. “until the Allen law is repealed. I will not admit that they are entitled to even a ten-year ordinance until that nefarious measure is off the statute books.” The strength of the feeling engendered can be judged from these incidents: The wife of one South Side aiderman received a noose and an envelope with cross-bones and skulls upon it. Another alderman said: “I found one of these,” indicating the noose, “on the door of my place of business this morning.” Mayor Harrison does not approve of this noose business. He said: “I am heartily opposed to public demonstrations which can be construed as lawless.”

FARMERS REAP RICH HARVEST.

Oat and Corn Crops Bring $83,000,000 More than in 1807. On the basis of the farm prices on Dec. 1. the Agricultural Department figures place the 1898 crop of corn and oats as worth $83,000,000 more than the crops of 1897. Statistician Hyde accredits this largely to the difference in prices. The corn crop is a trifle larger than in 1597 and the average price per bushel is 2.4 cents higher, while the oat crop is similarly a little larger than the 1897 and the prices were 4.4 cents higher. The monthly statement of the bureau of statistics on the exports of domestic products for the month of November last shows the exports of breadstuffs for the month aggregated $26,897,886, against $28,763,548 for November, 1897. Cattle and hogs, $2,105,465 against $2,760,704 in November last year. ' ■ .

Charles Miller, of Chicago, the Victor in th: Six-Day Bicycle Contest. Charles W. Miller of Chicago, last years' six-day champion, won the great race at the Madison Square Garden in

New York again this year, beating the world’s record, his own. by twenty-four miles and leading the next man to him, Frank Waller of Boston, by twenty-two miles. ’

Thirty-two men started on Monday morning, and twelve finished. ■> Miller, Waller and Pierce, who had been always in the lead, were the freshest of all at the finish. Indeed, Miller was in such good condition that he was able to appear to advantage in the wedding ceremony, leading Genevieve Hansen of Chicago to an improvised altar in the Garden amid loud cheering and the boisterous good wishes of 10,000 persons, who gathered to witness the ceremony. Miller receives prizes amounting to J 2.400.

The Comic Side OF The News

But why does New York persist in calling a dry goods exhibition a horse show ? The last thing Hobson has raised is a mortgage on his parental home of $6,000. We still believe that Aguinaldo could run a cigar factory in the United States very acceptably. The only reason why Blanco left Cuba was the impossibility of his carrying it away with him. Trouble is threatened in the upper Swat, and the swatting is expected to begin at almost any moment. A greater United States requires a longer presidential message. The explanation is simple enough. And then it came about that Spain lost everything but honor, and Spain had none of that to lose. How are the mighty fallen! Aguinaldo is now familiarly known among the Manila troops as “Aggie.” To the very last Keely refused to give away his secret, but all those men who invested in It were sold. The battleship Wisconsin, just launched, stuck in the mud. It’s early for it to begin taking mud baths. Aguinaldo says that he will never give up willingly. But that does not imply that he will not give up. The battleship Wisconsin was christened with an original poem. Still, you can’t tell. She may prove to be a very worthy vessel. It is estimated by the United States board of engineers that the Nicaragua canal will cost $133,000,000. Rather high for cut rates. A cablegram from London announces that “Sir George Baden-Powell is lying at the point of death.” That’s a queer time for a man to indulge in prevarication. One of the striking measures inaugurated by Gen. Wood in Santiago is the imposition of a fine of SI,OOO on bull fighters. This makes bull fighting legally a fine thing. Ex-Preaident Cleveland sees no good reason for annexing foreign territory when there are still millions of acres at home on which the game has not been hunted out.

DECISION FAVORS CASTORIA.

Jndge Grosecnp Grants ■■ w njsnrtlsffi Against I mltators of Thia Valnabto Kennedy. A decision of general interest ered lately at Chicago by Judge Peter S, Grosscup of the United States Circnft Court, giving the Centaur Company «• New York City, manufacturers of Ca»* toria, a world renowned remedy, an in* junction against the members of the Chicaxo firm of Hurd. Young & acting as agents of the Pitcher Medicine Company of Duluth, Minn. Judge Grosscnp, In his decision, finds that the defendants manufactured, put up and sold imitation wrappers, labels and packages, a preparation known as “Can* toria.” The court held that such manufacture and use of original label was ■ gross violation of the Centaur Company’s rights. The judge thereupon issued aa injunction restraining tbe defendants from imitating the original castoria labels foe Centaur Company. Messrs. Scott and Lord appeared as attorneys foe the Centaur Company. During the hearing of the case an affidavit was read from Dr. Samuel Pitcher, the originator Of the preparation castoria, in which he stated that the Centaur Company only had tbs right to use his formula and his name. Charles H. Fletchei, president of ths company, has been most active in tracing tbe source of spurious goods that were found on the market and offered for sale as the real article. He discovered that ths imitation was first put on the market bg the Sager Drug Company of Duluth, Minn., and that Mr. Hurd and others handled the preparation in Chicago. Ths sale was found so easy that the agents proceeded to put up a preparation of tbeie own, thus checkmating their principals. The decision just rendered covers both imitations. The Centaur Company are now. taking steps to proceed criminally against druggists who have been talked into laying in a stock of the counterfeit “Castoria.”
