An enormous lobster was recently sent to Tracy-le-Mont, Oise, from Lorient, where it had been put up to auction in the usual manner. It was only half an inch tinder three feet in length, its claws were the size of two hands, and it weighed more than eleven pounds. Try Grain-O! Try Grain-O!

At one place on the Idaho side of the Snake River, across from Asotin Conn-, ty, and not covering a space of over fifty feet in extent, eight head of dead cattie were recently counted, having met death by tumbling from the bluffs above. Baldness is either hereditary or caused by sickness, mental exhaustion, wearing tight-fitting hats, and by over-work and trouble. Hall's Renewer will prevent it. No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor temperate who considers pleasure the highest good.

My sister, if you find that in spite of following faithfully your family doctor’s advice, you are not getting well, why do you not try another course ?

© Ilie Blue and the Gray. < Both men and women aro apt to feel a little ®blue, whon the gray hairs begin to show. It’s {([((Ow)) a very natural feeling. In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They havo no business whitening the head of /A MB' man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of life’s seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by S sickness^ but more often from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there’s no need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color \^) of the hair is restored and retained by the use of ® Ayer’s Hair Vigor. ® Ayer’s Curebook, “a .lory ol cures told by the cured." 100 pages, free. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass.

OLDEST HEBREW IN THE STATES. Lazir Gresngard of St. Louis, Mo.» More than a Century in Years. > Lazar Greengard, who lives with his son Solomon al St. Louis, Mo., is the oldest Hebrew in America. Tall, muscular, firm of step, with long, flowing hair aud beard, he looks the venerable patriarch of biblical times. He carries his 104 years easily. On Nov. 15 next he will celebrate the 105th anniversary of his birth, aud is already looking for-

ward to the birthday party with much pleasure. He has six children, thirty-six grandchildren. fifty-eight great-grandchil-dren ami two great-great grandchildren. “Are you tired of life?" he was asked recently. “No, not tired; just waiting for the voice of («od.” “Don't you get tired of waiting sometimes?" “No, the Lord's chosen people jshould have patience," he said, devoutly. The venerable Hebrew was born in Werbelau, Russia. At the age of 2S years he married. Twenty-three years ago his wife died. Weary of the old world and its persecutions he turned to America at the age of 93 years and joined his relatives, many of whom had settled in St. Louis. His six living children are Abraham. St Louis, aged 72 years; Solomon, St. Louis, G7; Simon, Los Angeles, ('al., 51; Mrs. Applebaum, Chicago, 69; Mrs. Betsie Friedman, New York, 54; Mrs. Cohen, New York, 52. He had three other suns and a daughter, who succumbed to cholera in Russia. During all of his remarkable career he has been ill but once. When his hundredth birthday arrived he was celebrating it with many members of the

He worked incessantly nt ; his trade from his apprentice days un til lie was 9i> years old. lie toiled every | day except Saturdays and holidays, j and it is related that at times he la I bored in the shop far into the night. Grecngtu’d attributes his remarkable I longevity to ids equanimity. He never I allowed the cto.-ses am! alllictions of i life to worry him. but philosophically banished all care from his mind ami went upon his way as if nothing had occurred to mar his happiness. He was kind to friends and good to his family, and at all times serene and calm, no matter what hardship fate had in store. Another factor which he says helped to prolong Ids life is abstemiousness. He Hk.d a drink of liquor alter a hard day’s work, but never took more than one. Never in his life was he known to have been under its influence. He used tobacco moderately by inhaling it through the nostrils.as some people use ! snuff, but never tried it in any other I form. When asked what ten years of his i life were the happiest the old man ■ thought awhile and very slowly and deliberately replied: “The first ten years of my married f life, and later the last ten years, when : I came here and joined my relatives."

STRIKE CRISIS REACHED. * Coal Minors an 1 Operator* Fail t*) Aureo on Pence Terms. 1 lie crisis has been reached in the greo* coal strike. Attempts at a peaceful settlem mt in the Pittsburg district, which is regarded as the key to the situation, have come to naught, and both sides are preparing to resort to drastic measures 1 he operators say they are determined to reopen their mines at whatever cost. If their men will return to work at the old scale, pending a readjustment of wages, well anti good. If not, they say they will import the necessary men and afford them all possible protection. On the other side the strikers say they will not yield, and confidently predict that the operators will be forced to grant their demands for living wagos. The peace conference between a com mittee of Pittsburg district operators and national and district officials of the miners adjourned without date. The representatives of the miners will not recede from their original proposition to settle the strike by arbitration and start the mines at the C9-cent rate. This the op. erators would not grant. President Ratchford firmly maintained his stand f or the payment of the 69-cent rate until the question was settled by arbitration, jp. suggested I'resident McKinley and tyjp Hum J. Bryan as the arbitrators. The operators offered to divide the difference between 54 and 09 cent rates making the price at which the mines should start 6D/ a cents per ton, but this

Was rejected. Then additional propositus were made. One was to start the nines without fixing any price for thirty hG u UU i * !e ^ to pay t* lo rate ng'oed upon .the board of arbitration. Thiswas by ,hC mint ' rS ’ They J had been fooled too often to trust the operators again. '1 hey declined to work mu ’’ the operators the outt that length of time, without knowing "lint wages would be paid. n>m ^OO OB ^ OII was made to operate the .’‘ es , pr ten days without fixing the 11 board of arbitration to ~ . pr ’S e f° r ’hat time. President po 1 ’’’listed that nothing but the >• <(iit rate could possibly be accepted. Ane operators were firm, but the miners re equally determined, and every nign(nt of the mine owners was met by the mne.s leaders. Neither side would con- < another point, and it was decided to end the conference. SLAIN BY WRECKERS and Alton Freight Train Ditched Near Muzonia. 3 min wreckers arc responsible for the death of Engineer James Brennan of Bloomington, HI., who was killed in a Biuashup on the Chicago and Alton Tues day night, mid the injuring of Fireman Brown in the same disaster, ns well rfs Q»e destruction of ten cars, involving loss SIO,OOO. '1 he wreck took place near IMazonia, on the Coal City division of the ■.Alton. a short distance from the main 'line and within five miles of Gardner station. The train was smith bound and was running at high speed in a hilly country when it encountered a tie and a rail laid across the track. The engine was overturned and slid down an embankment, followed by ten loaded cars, several of which piled up on the engine. Engineer Brennan was caught under the locomotive and frightfully crushed and scalded. Fireman Brown jumped, but his Injuries are not considered serious. Brennan was taken from the wreck ^live. Ue was carried to a neighboring farm house, w here he died. It is believed by m.,ny p. plc that the Obstruction* were Intended to ditch “the hummer," the Alton's fast passenger train, nnd that the wreckers made a mis take in timing their w-rk.
