AYER'S Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair too s natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. 1t checks falling of ‘the hair, and stimulates 2 weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prévents and curés scurf and dandruff, and hieals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As & Ladies’ Halr Dressing, tho ViGeR is unequalled ; it contains meither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. ¥ Mr. C, P. BRICHER writes_from Kirdy, O. Ju'y 3, 1882 : Last fall my hair commenced fa'ting out, and in-a short time 1 becamne nearly bald., 1 used ﬁln of a bottle of Aver's HAIR Vigor, which stopped the faili:iZz of the hair, and started a new growth. I liiva now a full head of bair growin% vigorouasly, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should have been cutirely bald.” 4

J. W. BowEN, proprietor of thie McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : ** AYER'S %;\m Vigon i 9 & mosg excellent preparatien for the hair, 1 speak of it from my own’ expe;ieuou. Its use promotes; the srowth of new hajr, and makas it glossyfand soft. The VIGOR is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not!within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give enfire satisfaction,” Mn. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of tho <clebrated ¢ Fairbairn Family” of Scottish Vocalists, writes -from Boston, Mass., leb, 6, 1580 : * Ever since my hair ‘began to give silvery evidence of the change which tcetinyg timé procureth, I have used AvVER'S Hain ViGgonr, and so have been able to maintain an awearauce of youthfulness —a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators; actors, and in fact every one who lives iu the eyes of the public.”

Mns. O. A. PRESCOTT, vritinlg from 18 Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says : “Pwo years ago about two-thirds of my liair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and’] was fast growin% bald. On using AYKR'S Hiin VIGOR the amng sb:goped and a new growth commenced, and in ut a month my head was completely covered with short hgir. It has continued to grow, and is now @8 good as ‘before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle -of the VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as .a dressing.” We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AYER'S HAIR ViGon. It needs but a trial to convince the most skepti--cal of its value, ‘ 7 PREPARED:BY : Dr.J.C.Ayer&Co.,Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggiats, M THE INDIAN.A

, POPULA SONGS. fSlongs That Have Moved Nations—Who Wrote Them and What Inspired . 4 The greatest poem of the war was written at Washifigton by Julia Ward Howe, under the fitle of ‘“The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” It is sung to the tune of ‘Johu Brown.” and com‘mences, ‘“Mine eyes have seen the gblory of the coming of the Lord.” Mrs. Howe wrote it early one morning and it is said that she penned the lines with her eyes shut. night before ‘she she had been out riding in the country near Washington and her party had mu'row}y escaped being captured by a troop of Confederates. As they camer, into’ Washington they sang “John Brown's Body,’’ and the tune kept ringing in Mrs. Howe's head all night. When she awoke before daylight she began to make veris'es of it, and in the fear that she would "forget them she wrote them off, according to a habit she had formed to &vc her eyes, without looking'n(—"the‘aia‘per. Mrs. Howe is still living, and she ranks among the leaders of the woman's rights move‘ment. .

Speaking of ‘John Brown’s Body,” the tune itself is an old Methodist camp-meeting tune and the words were adapted to it by a glee club .of ‘Boston in 1861. It was first published at Charlestown, Mass. Capt. James Greenleaf, an organist of the Harvard Church, set the notes for music, and a Massachusetts regiment made them first noted by singing them: at Fort Warren in 1861. The author of “Maryland, My Maryland,” lives at Washington, and you may see him in the press galleries of Congress almost any day during the session. He writes gossipy letters to the Augusta Chronicle. His name is James R. Randall, and he is a modestlooking, dark-complexioned man of 40. He must have been.very young when he wrote that beautiful poem. His ideas dare broader now, and he is as liberal in his views as any member of the gallery: = : .

~ “America’’ ‘was written by the Rev. L Samuel Francis Smith in 1832, and it was first sung in Boston on the Fourt}p, of July of that year.

It was first put into music by a Geérman music teacher at Philadelphia, named Roth. - i “The Star Spangled Banner’’ was written by Francis Scott Key while watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry, in 1814. He was in a small vessel among the British ships, and he saw his countrymen win the victory. All through the fight he watched anxiouslf' to see if the flag was still standing, looking for it at night by the flash of the bombshells, and anxiously wait: ing the dawning. ‘lhe song was print: ed’in the Baltimore ‘American eight days after the battle, under the title of *The Defense of Fort McHenry.”’ | Many people will be surprised to| learn that ¢‘Yankee Doodle”” is not of American origin. Even the words date | back beyond the days of Queen Anne, and the tune is still older. In the wars of the Roundheads, says Commodore Preble, in his book on the flag of the, United States, ‘Yankee Doodle;” or “Nankee Doodle,” was applied in derision to Oliver Cromwell, and Professor Rimbault, a prominent musician of London, wrote a song directed aft Cromwell under this title. The jingle of these two songs is about the same, and the words are not much different. Dr. Schuchburg first introduced the! song into this country in 1755, and this was also in contempt of the ra%‘ged colonial soldiers. At Concord and &exin%on the British, when advancing to % t, bravely played ¢God Save the , 'n%” and after they were defeated the Yankees, as they watched their retreat, struck up “%ankee Doodle.”’— “Carp”’ in the Cleveland Leader.

. Uato Death. Lookl-: = ' A gaunt, shambling wolf which has been making erratic circles on the prairie suddenly stops, lifts his nose high aboye the grass, and snuffs the air in every direction. Hark! " A long-drawn howl—a sound which rasps on your nerves and brings a chill. The honest growl of the tiger would be music in comparison. It hasno honest echo, but you hear the v-r-r-r-r sneaking across the half-mile of prairie to find evil company in the thickets beyond. - e The echo is hardly lost in the pines before it is caught up and sent back by a dozen throats, and a'moment after a pack of wolves break cover and race across the grass<to.join the lone animal ‘which sent forth the mllyinf; call.

It is a strange sight which meets our eyes. Lying stark and stiff on the prairie, fingers clutching the grass and a look of agony on the face already turning purple under the hotsun, is the body of a hunter.- Dead? No need to ask that when you have seen the terrible hole in the breast, 'and the blood which has welled out and soaked the grass and chapged the color of the flowers. His rifle lies at his 'side—his pack at his head. +No accident? Perhaps yes—perhaps no. There is one who could tell us if he could but speak. : ¢Here, dog!’’ o

There are twenty to one; and the scent of the dead adds to their fierceness and daring, but as the({ advance: to wishin ten paces of the dog every wolf comes to a stop. Standing with his fore paws on the breast of the corpse, the dog growls a warning at ‘ each and every one before him. }le“ could run away and save his life, but the base idea never comes to him. He will fight the whole pack—=he will die defending his dead! See! | The wolves huddle together for a moment, as if in consultation, and then they break up and form a circle about their victims. The dog wheels slowly, growling his wrath and uttering his défiance. Even now he could break through and eseape, but he will not. - Of 'a sudden the leader of the pack dashes at him, but he returns to the cirele—whipped—bleeding—vengeful. His place is filled by three companions, and for a moment the corpse is hidden from view and the uproar is frightful. . Grand old dog!

Heat and Light and Vegetation

Dr. Hellriegel has found that it is very important to plant-development that the time of seed-forming and the season of the greatest heat and light should be.coincident. He has illustra‘ted this by experiments in which: he soyed barley, under otherwise indentical conditiens, on April 21st, May 28th, June 28th, August 2nd, and September Ist; the first crop becoming ripe in 88 days, the second prematurely ripe in 87 days (the maximum heat and light happening too .early in the plant’s growth), the third ripening imperfectly in 150 days, the fourth in 200, and the last in 240 days. Irom this it appears that the productiveness of a country depends not so much on ifs mean temperature as on the . question- whether itg supply of heat is received at the ‘right time, and in England the wheat-har-vest is known to be chiefly determined by the temperature during July and August. Under glass, plants are subject to .a great reduction of light, which, with other unfavorable conditions of hot-houses, Dr. Hellriegel has shown to diminish very seriously the fruitfulness of plal}ts. There is little difference, however, in the influence of’ different colors of light. e ————— P ’———f—— . Skin Diseases Cared. By Dr. Frazier’s Magic Ointment.

- GOV. SEWARD’S VALET. Now a Barber, but Onée the Associate of Lot ‘Prominent Men.” . - There is' a colored barber, writes Frank Carpenter,” working -at a chair nearest, the window,_in a' shop on E street, not far from the Ebbitt house, whose talents and education merit’ a better position. He is about forty years of age, nearly six feet tall, and his- feas tures are of the. Caucasian’ type. His negro blood is shown only in his complexion, which is a dark mahogany. As to his niauners and his language, they are as good.as those “of any man in Washington, and his sum of information is equal to that of manya‘man who ranks high in officiak life. Sinee his boyhood he has been closely associated with prominent men. .He "went round the world with Secretary Seward as his valet, and he oceupied the same posic tion in regard to Elihu Washburne while Mr. Washburne wasour-minister toPar-. is. ‘'there is hardly a country with which he is not - familiar, and he has visited the’ different “parts of Europe more than onece. . When lie was a boy he shaved the senators of the days of 1850, and later at the old Kirkwoad house, and his razor.has often -caressed the shagey chin . ‘of : Sam Houston, smoothed the cheeks of Andy. Johnson, and. wandered gently over the faces of a seore of other noted .men who. have since passed away: -As Lsat'in his chair to-day I asked him a question or two about ex-Secretary Seward. He said: “My brother was Senafor . Seward’s servant at thetime he was abouit to start out on his travels, “but as h¢ had just been miarried he.did not wish to go with him and he got the senator to take me in his stead.

Secretary Seward did not like doetors, however, aid I remember,.an’ incident illustrative of this which,éccurrcd‘wh_ilé‘ we were. stopping -with.iLord, Napiet, the governor of Madras. - One morning. when Mr. Seward was_féeling “especially bad, the doctor called at the governor’s House to see one of Lord Napier’s family.

-~ THE GAGUS STALK, The Most Terrible and’ Fatal Imtoxicant i .- Yet Discovered., . : _*Do you know what that is? said the captain of a bark dately returned from a cruise in the southern seas to a Call yeporter who was prowling around the water-front in search of items.. He held in his hand.what appeared to be a gaudily painted barber’s pole shrunken to the size of a policeman's club. The reporter surveyed the object entiously and admitted that he could not guess what it was. AR iEh ey

*“That,” continued the skipper, taking the nondeseript ‘object from the reporter’s hands and. caressihg it as though it was | a kitten, ‘s a piece of §agus‘ stalk. It came from Gau;itil“is‘ and, near the Molueea gronp. have navigated the south seas for many Yyears, and I never saw it growing upon any other island, and I don’t think you will find any seafaring man who hails from those waters but will bear out what I say.” : j : | I“‘But what is'it?"’ questioned the reporter, eyeing the curiosity. “Gagus root?® | A 2t .

“Yes, that’s as near as wo sailors can get to'what the natives there eallit. f‘ ve heard' these four-eyed scientific lubbers call it by a name a yard long, but I might as well have tried to reefa mainsail alone as to reel it around my mental windlass. Gagus is good enough for me.”’ b . -

“Who painted it?"’ went on the re« | porter, a suspicion creeping into his mind that the captain had ornamented it with color for the purpose of selling, it to some democrat to putin his hat. : ‘Painted it?: Why; jigger me, that's the way it grew,’” cri‘eg the skipper, with a laugh. I guess you haven’t ' seen anything like it before.’ & The repérter admitted that .he had .

not, and asked the captain to dissipate at once the cloud of mystery strrounding the ‘‘gagus.”’ i “It- is a specjes of cactus,’) he explained, ‘‘and, as I éaid, -grows only, to m]y knowledge, on Gauptil island. The island is a small one, but is well populated by natives of the Malay race. In the interior this plant grows wild; flourishing especially in the red rocky ; soil. It looks beautiful when growing,X as:you mi%ht judge by the bright hues’ with which this is spotted. The main stalk is covered with sharp, nettle-like protuberances, and a prick from one of them will cause more pain than a handful of red pepper thrown in_ your eyes. When young the plant consists of but one stalk, which shoots up straight toa height of four or five feet. It is a brilliant scarlet in hue. Toward winter a number of offshoots spring - out until the thing looks like a broom stood upright. éreen and purple specks-then appear all over it. A grove of ‘gagus shrubs is a very pretty sight. But it is the properties of the plant which distinguish it. Opium is a potent drug, but I will back the ' extract from .the- - stalk to effect more damage on the human system than all the opium in the world. The natives cut the plant in the early spring. After they have ‘gathered a sufficient quantity they put it in large bowls and crush it with huge stones. A grayish sap runs out freely, and this they collect and drink after - letting it ferment, which it does easily. One drink of a pint is enough for an ordinary man, but I have seen natives drink more. Within half an hour after imbibing it the drinker becomes perfectly stupid, and " lies around like a ‘log. “The spell lasts a day or more, . during which time the natives say they live in paradise.” . - - *Do white men drink it?’" - “I have known sailors to try it} but they never tackled it twice. ~Three years.ago I had a man in my crew who was driven crazy by one drink.’’ | | *What effect dces it "have ‘upon the . natives?’’, I “Well, thatiis where the gagus dis-; plays itself. -If you could sce some of the terrible examples of gagus-drinking in Gauptil you weuld be horrified. The first effect of the liquor is/to soften the bones and - gradually eat' them ‘away. There are natives there, the victims of. gagus, who are indeed boneless and unable to walk or use their limbs. . ‘They then begin to wither away like this - stalk until they die ‘in misery and con--vulsions. Immediately after death the head of the corpse becomes soft as pulp, no bones can be felt; the skull is completely eaten away.. The body then begins to swell as. though it were inflated with gas, and immediate burial | is necessary.”” 2 e

“How ]o‘ﬁg does it take to thus devastate a human being?”’ asked the reporter. I i | - “That i$ according to the appetite of the victim to the stuff. Usually two years will finish the hardest man. Oh, the sufferings of fhe slaves.to the drink are terrible.” - : : The piece of plant was again subjected to an inspection by the reporter, and this time with some manifest inferest. | : ““You see it is hard,” said the captain; dropping it on the deck to prove his words; ‘‘and this is harmless unless, I presume, it was soaked in water and tgle” liquor drank."—San .
