LEFTY YEARS OLD I \ Why let your neighbors know it? And why give them a chance to guess you are even five or ten years more? Better give them good reasons for guessing the other way. It is very easy; for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray hair. Ayers 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 nair 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 yov. If you do not obtain all tho benefits 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.

Overcrowding in New York City.

In tenements the average family has one light room, the other either entirely dark or lighted by an air shaft. Some of the houses are In a moderately good sanitary condition, but many are extremely bad. I believe, upon the whole, that the old style of -tenement house Is better than tlie new. The rooms were larger, with more light and air; less of the ground was built over, uuless there was a rear tenement. Now we find three or four tiny rooms, dark, with “modern conveniences.” Part of the kitchen Is occupied by a eouple of stationary washtubs and a sink. When a stove, a table and a eouple of chairs are added the room Is almost completely filled. The front room is large enough to accommodate a table, a lounge, three or four chairs. Thus there Is no room for more than two people at one time. The bedroom will hold a three-quarters bed and occasionally a chair may be squeezed In. For such a place as this $lO to sl2 a month,will be charged. To-day I saw a family (an ordinary case) where the front room of such an apartment ns described was used for a shoe-mending shop. The man and two assistants mended old shoes “for the trade.” They, with their tools and a lounge, completely filled the room. There was a kitchen and two bedrooms, the latter so small that in order to exumine my patient I either had to sit on the bed or stand up. The family consists of three persons and three lodgers. The rent Is $10.50 per month. The apartment is what is called tlie basement of the new style of flat house, but is really a part of the cellar plastered off.

This week, in a similar apartment, where men. women and children weTe finishing trousers,, we found three families—one lived in the bedroom, one in the kitchen and the other in the front room. A fourth family came to join the family iu the front room on the last clay of my visit to the child sick with diphtheria.—Dr. Annie S. Daniel, in Muncipal Affairs.

A DOMESTIC INCIDENT

From the Observer, Flushing, Alio t i. “Early in November, 181)4,” 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. Thet pain increased and 1 was obliged to take to my bed. The physician who was summoned pronounced ray case muscular rheumatism accompanied by lumbago. He gave me remedies and injected morphine into my nrm to ense the pain. “My disease gradually became worse, until I thought that death would be welcome release from my sufferings. Besides my regular physician I also consum-d another, nut he gave me no encouragement.

On (Jetting Up from the Table, “1 was finally induced through reading some accounts in the newspapers regarding the wonderful cures wrought by Dr. Williams’ l’ink Pills for Pale People, to try them. 1 took the pills according to directions and soon began to notic** an improvement in my eoudition. Before the first box was used I could get about the house, and after using five boxes was entirely cured. “Since that time I have felt no return of the rheumatic pains. 1 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. I will gladly answer inquiries concerning my sickness and wonderful cure, provided stamp is enclosed for reply. “FRANK LONG.”

Why It Is Expensive.

“Do you know that there is one drug which costs nearly $1,000,000 an ounce.” “No. Is there?” “Yes. It Is called physostlgmine.” “Gee! I guess It must be impossible to get that stuff to mix with rainwater.”

MR.DOOLEY.

The Indian War. “Gin’ral Sherman was wan iv th’ smartest men we iver had,” said Mr. Dooley. “He said so many bright things. 'Twas him said: ‘War is hen,’ an’ that’s wan iv th’ finest sayin’s-L know anuything about. ‘War is hell,’ ’tis a throe wurrud an’ a fine sintiment. An’ Gin’ral Sherman says: ‘Th’ only good Indyun is a dead Indyun.’ An’ that’s a good say in’, too. So, be th’ powers, we’ve started in again to improve th’ race, an’ if we can get in Gatlin’ guns enough befure th’ winter’s snows we’ll tur-rn thim Chippewuys into a cimitry branch iv th’ Young Men’s Christyan Association. We will so. “Ye see, Hinuissy, th’ Indyun is bound f’r to give way to th' onward-march iv white civilization. I come' along an’ I fiud ol’ Snakes-in-His-Gaiters livin’ quiet an’ daeint in a new frame house. Thinks I: ”Tis a shame f’r to laVe this savage man in possession iv this fine abode, an’ him not able f’r to vote an’ without a frind on th’ polls foorce.’ So says I: ‘Snakes,’ I says, ‘get along,’ says I, ‘I want yer house an' ye best move out west Iv th’ - Ibracks an’ dig a hole f’h ye’erself,’ I says. ‘Divvle th’ fut will I step out iv ibis house,’ says Snakes. ‘I built it an’ I have th’ law on me side,’ he says. ‘F’r why should I take Mary Ann, an' Terence an’ Honoria, an’ Robert Immitt Snakes an’ all me little Snakes an’ rustle out west iv th’ thracks,’ he says, ‘far trim th* bones iv me ancestors,’ he says, ‘an’ beyond th’ watherpipe extinsion,’ he says. ‘Because,’ says I, ‘I am th’ walkin’-dily* pate iv white civilization,’ I says. ‘l’m jist ns civilized as you.’ says Snakes. ‘I wear pants,’ lie says, ‘an’ a ping hat,’ he rays. ‘Ye might wear tin pairs,’ says I, ‘an’ all at wanst,’ I says, ‘an’ ye’d still lie a savage,’ says I. ‘an’ I’d be civilized,’ I rays, ‘if, I hadn't on so much as a bangle J.Xacclet,’ I says. ‘So get out,’ says I, ‘l’r til' pianny Rovers is outside r-ready to go to wurruk.’ I says. “Well. Snakes ho fires a shtove lid a-t me an’ I go down to th’ polls station an’ rnvs L Lrayim not voting up near th' mills an’ he’s carryin’ on outrageous an’ he won’t let me hang me pitchers on his wall,’ says I. ’Vile savage,’ says th’ loot. ‘l’ll tache him to raysplct th' rules iv civilization,’ he says. An’ he takes out a wagon load an’ goes afther Snakes. Well, me frind Snakes gives him battle, an’ knowin’ th’ premises well he's able to put up a gr-reat fight, but afther awhile they rip him away an’ have him in th’ pathrol wagon with a man setitin’ on his head. An’ thin he’s put undher bonds to kep the peaee, an’ they sind him out west iv th’ thracks an’ 1 move into th’ house an’ tear out th’ front an’ start a faro bank. Some day whin I git tired or Sehwartzmeister makes his lunch ten sthrong f’r competition. I’ll go afther Snakes again. “Th’ on’y hope fir th’ Indyun is to put h-is house on rollers an’ kep a team hitched to it, an’ whin he sees a white man to start f’r th’ settin’ sun. He’s rooned whin he has a cellar. He ought to put all th’ plugged dollars that he gets from th’ agent an’ lie pickin’ blueberries into rowlin’ stock. If he knew annything about balloons he’d have a chanst, but we white men. Hinnissy, has all th’ balloons. But, anuyhow, he’s doomed, ns Hogan says, Th’ ortward march iv th’ white civilization with morgedges nil’ other modhren improvements is slowly but surely, as Hogan says, chasin’ him out, an’ th’ last iv hini’ll lie livin’ in a divin’ bell somewhere out in th’ Pac-ific ocean.” “Well,” said Mr. Hennessy, the stout philanthropist, “I think so, an’ thin again, I dinnaw. I don’t think we threat thim r-right. If I was th’ government I’d take what they got. but I’d say: ‘Here, thke this tin dollar bill an’ go out an’ dhrink ye’ersilf to death,’ I’d say. They ought to have some show.” “Well," said Mr. Dooley, “if ye feel that way ye ought to go an’ ifilist ns an Indyun.”—Chicago Journal.

WILL NOT RELEASE PRISONERS.

Filippinos 'Will Not Cheaply Relinquish Dearly-Uoutrht Conquest*. The national assembly at Malolos, at a recent setting, voted Aguiualdo a civil list of $75,000, but Aguiualdo declined to receive anything until the army should (have been paid. An attempt wus made by IV ierno, rhe speaker of the house, to have bisected a clause granting him an allowance because of his office, but the proposal was rejected. The Spanish community is endeavoring to secure the enforcement of the release of prisoners. Personal investigations made in the province emphasize the determination of the insurgents to obtain a specific guarantee of favorable terms before releasing the prisoners now in tbeir hiunks, and it is certain that they will never cheaply relinquish their dearly bought (onquests.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS.

There were 51,150 horses exported by this country last year, bringing un average of $l2O each. The States of Misottri and Kansas have sown the largest crops of fall wheat ever planted in those States. The Utah experiment station asserts that separated milk fed to calves is worth 22 cent* a hundred, counting live weight of calves at 4 cents. A Western ranchman and stockman has ini|K>rted a number of ItusHiau wolf* hounds to drive away coyotes and wolves that threaten to destroy his herds. The experiment has Itecn quite u success so far. The State of Missouri still has niurly half a million news of land subject to hotnesrtead entry. The State Labor Commissioner is making an effort to have a portion of the luml settled. The packers of Chicago,. Omaha, Nt. Louis and Kansas City killed 1,175.000 sheep in 18K7 and 4,054,000. In IMI7. It does not necessarily follow that the consumption of mutton has increased 400 per cent In teu years, ns the puckers are supplying hundreds of retailers now where they supplied only dozens ten years ago. There has been un increase in the consumption of mutton, however.

Regulars in War.

j The battle of Santiago was fought chiefly by the regulars of the United States army, and a proper Inscription will be made upon their regimental flags. In the civil war the small regular army was almost wiped out. It was distributed in the various corps and took part in nearly every great battle in the East and West. Their losses included 2.205 officers and men killed or mortally wounded in.action, and more than 3,000 died from disease. At Gettysburg two regular brigades lost nearly half their number killed and wounded. The Fifteenth Infantry lost during the Civil War 07 killed: 420 were wounded; 01 died of wounds and 50 died in prison. The American regular army has a splendid record.

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 the cures brought about by Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters. Never has there been so successful a medicine for stomach and liver disorders like dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness and constipation.
