Stops Hair Falling Ayer’s Hair Vigor, new improved formula, will certainly stop falling of the hair. Indeed, we believe it will always do this unless there is some disturbance of the general health. Then,a constitutionalmedicine may be necessary. Consult your physician about this. TormuU with ««ot bottl. f • Show It to you liners V thondoaohoxy The reason why Ayer’s Hair Vigor stops falling hair is because it first destroys the Serins which cause this trouble. After lis is done, nature soon brings about a full recovery, restoring the hair and scalp to a perfectly healthy condition. rr— Made by the J. C. Ayor Co.,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have « rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal conhearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Oatarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafnese (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hail’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. P. J. CHENEY ft CO., Toledo, O.

REMARKABLE FARMS.

Satural Hot Water Products Near the Arctic Circle. ? What is perhaps the most remarkable farm In the world Is located In Alaska on a small tributary of the Tanana river, only 125 miles south of the arctic circle. It Is owned and managed by J. F. Karshner. Karshner • few years ago was engaged In hnntlng gold when he came across something which astonished him very much. It was a little stream of hot water. He traced the stream to a Bpring, which was likewise hot, and R presently became obvious that a considerable area was underlaid by such springs. Promptly deciding that this was a discovery more profitable than a gold mine, Karshner gave up prospecting, obtained a quantity of vegetable seeds of various kinds and started in to raise garden truck. The temperature in that region sometimes falls to 65 degrees below zero In wirier, but a natural system of hot watef heating, free of cost, was Just the thing for truck gardening near the arctic circle, where potatoes have a market value of 25 cents a pound and other vegetables bring pilces In proportion. The Karshner farm occupies a fiat area with a convenient slant toward the sotith. Hot water oozing out of the ground forms three small streams, Which empty Into the nearby river. The warm spring extends over a distance of about a mile, and, as the owner says, “the heat In the ground has to be felt to be believed.” He adds: “I have never seen vegetables grow as they do here. The place has a climate of its own. Often there is no frost when It is freezing everywhere else.” B

The hot water farmer has seventy hens. He has also six fine pigs. His crop of potatoes this year will toe 100 tons, at 850 bushels to the acre. To* bacco has made a great growth. Tomatoes are a success. Squashes of several kinds are grown, some of them weighing as much as fifty-three pounds. Karshner gets $1 apiece for his muskmetons. This hot water market garden most be a wonder in its way, but it is doubt* ful whether its owner deserves as much credit as belongs to Frank L. Howard, United States commissioner at Coldfoot, Alaska, sixty miles north of the arctic circle, Who in the raising of potatoes and other vegetables for market gets over the difficulty of the dlmate by starting them in tin cans in the house. When the weather'becomes warm enough he transplants them to the open. Mr. Howard's market garden is the most 'successful to be found north of the arctic circle. He protects his young cabbages from frost on -cold nights by.covering them with beer bottles, the bottoms and necks of which have been knocked off. In these “Jackets,” as he calls them, they flourish, and by June 10, when they have grown sufficiently to fill tbd bottles, they are uncovered. In the first week of September they art harvested. In central Florida pineapples are largely grown nowadays under sheds of lattice. These Sheds, elevated on posts at a height of about seven feet from the ground usually, In some instances cover as much as ten acres of land. Their main objeet is to protect the growing fruit against frost though it Is claimed that pineapples raised under them are more delicate in texture add of superior flavor. In market gardens near Boston melons are grown in slings so that they will ripen evenly. Muskmelons are grown on arbors, each fruit being supported by a piece of board about a foot Square, on which it is turned every day or two. Strawberries are grown in pots in greenhouses, the clusters of fruit being supported by wires, so that they shall not touch the earth. Fattening Place For Chickens. Every poultry raiser knows what a feed hopper Is and how it saves a waste of feed. It may be made of wood, but galvanized iron (No. 26> is better. Such a one ns is shown in the illustration will hold about sixty pounds of meal or 100 pounds of grain. The hopper may be divided into three compartments for different kinds of feed. It should be hung up by hooks,

A SELF FEEDING HOPPED.

so that tho bottom will be about five Inches above the floor A platform underneath on which the fowls may stand while feeding should go with the hopper. This prevents litter from being scratched into the hopper. The sloping cover of the hopper prevents It being used by chickens for a roost. The total cost of .construction for this IS about $4. A grit hopper, made of the same material, hemmed In about the edges with wire, can be used for grit, shell and charcoal. Dairy Figure*. The dairy population *ef the United State* is about 21*000,000. or one cow to every fire people. The average yield, according to official figures, Is enly about 3,500. pounds a year, or. roughly, five quarta a day an the average. It Is figured ttatt each pepaon la the country eats about twenty pounds of butter each year. Very little batter la Imported.

THE MAJOR’S BRIDE

In the year 1847 In the auclent city of Fuebla a young couple were carrying on a conversation which seemed to be of great Interest to them. The one, a young fellow wearing the uniform of the United .States army, was Baying, “Though you confess that you love me you still declare that you cannot marry me?” "Yes,” said the other sadly, a beautiful young Mexican girl, “I love you. but I cannot be your wife. I have promised my hand to ray cousin, to whom my father owes more than he can pay. But be has promised that If I marry him be will cancel the debt, taking me In exebange. I hate him,” •he feontlnued fiercely, “but I must keep my word.” “But,” said the young man impetuously, “this barter'and sale is barbarous. Can’t you be made to reconsider your decision?” “No,” said the maiden despairingly, “It Is impossible. We must part” Several months previous, just after the American army bad entered Puebla oh its victorious march to the capital, Captain Robert Reynolds had been Able to perform a notable service for Bettor Garda, a Mexican of reputed wealth, and bis daughter, Inez. One day while out driving the senor's carriage horses became frightened by the maneuvers of a company of soldiers and, twisting suddenly, threw the coachman from his seat and started at fall speed down the road. Captain Reynolds, seeing the danger, rushed Into the street ana, grasping the maddened horses by the bits, after a severe fight succeeded in stopping them. The senor was voluble in bis thanks and in his praise of the young American's courage, bnt far more acceptable to the young captain was the shy glance of gratitude be received from the senor’s beautiful daughter. His acquaintance thus formed with the family soon ripened into intimacy, his intimacy into love. The next morning Captain Reynolds rode away at the head of his company, his dream of love rudely broken. But the army was soon too busily engaged to allow him to Indulge in useless repining.' At Contreras he distinguished himself and, having been so fortunate is to save his colonel's life, was brevttted major for his gallant conduct. At the storming of Molina del Rey his company was one of the first to enter the works. Here, however, he was severely wounded, and when in-a-few days the City of Mexico surrendered be was borne into the conquered capital among the other injured Americans. . His case was a critical one, and, as his head was severely injured, brain fever soon set in. Jt is a matter of history how the Mexican ladies tended and nursed out wounded and dying soldiers, so when one morning a lady in the garb of a nnn preientCd herself at the hospital and offered her services as a nurse it excited no comment. The sick man’s constant cry had been “Inez, Inez}” After the arrival of the new nurse, who confined herself almost entirely to the bedside of Major Reynolds, this cry was hushed and his ravings in a. measure ceased. u -

At last the fever bad run its course, and Major Reynolds, though not convalescent, had now. in the doctor’s opinion, some chance for life. What was the invalid’s surprise when he opened hie eyes and recovered his faculties to see beside hhn tbe face of bis only love, Inez Garcia, whom he recognized even with, her disguising habiliments. “Is it really you, Inez?" said be. his voice surprising even himself in its weakness. , c “I thought it was a dream.” “Yes,” said she, “but you must not speak or even think. Those are the surgeon’s orders.” Too tired and weak to go contrary to her wishes, he fell into a deep, refreshing slumber, from which he awoke strengthened and Invigorated in mind and body. He seemed desirous of asking her a question, yet dared not. She. interpreting his actions aright, said: “Now, if you will promise to be quiet. I will tell you how I happen to be here. In the first place, lam not married and”—very demurely—“am not likely to be. My cousin was killed at Cherubusoo, and my father, being next of kin. inherited his estate, so that now he is free from tbose difficulties which encompassed him some time ago, Hearing of your misfortune, 1 persuaded my father to come here so that I could take care of you.” “And now,” broke v to the major, “these Is no obstacle to our marriage. Is that what you mean to imply?” Her answer Is not given, but it seemed satisfactory to all parties concerned. “And now,” continued Inez. “I must .leave you. though I win visit you frequently hi my own propria persona.” Reynold’s recovery, no longer doubtful,' was rapid. BUt when he attempted to thank the surgeon that worthy replied: “Young man, you owe your life not to me, but to the < careful nursing of that nun who has so mysteriously disappeared." ? The war was soon ended, and Reynolds, having been removed as soon as practicable to the home of his betrothed, soon recovered his usual health. The old sefior, conquering bis repug. nance to the idea of marrying his daughter to one of the victorious Americans, at length granted his consent Reynolds, dreading a life of inactivity. resigned bis commission and, yielding to the entreaties of hi* wife and tathertln-lawi established his: place of residence to the sunny i land of Mexico, infusing into the business of the aid Mexican soma American energy and tact, which there as everywhere met with Its usual success.
