Dress the Hair
With Ayer's Hair Vigor. Its cleanll
ness, beneficial effecta on tbo scalp, and
lasting perfume commend It for uni
versal toilet use. It lteops the hair soft
nnd silken, preserves Ita color.prevents It
from falling, and, If the linlr lias become
weak or thin, promotes a new growth.
"To restore the original color of my
balr, which had turned prematurely
gray, I used Ayer'a Hair Vigor with en
tire success. I cheerfully testify to the
Efficacy
of tbls preparation." Mrs. P. H. David
aon, Alexandria, La. )
" I was afflicted some three years with
scalp disease. My hair was falling out
nnd what remained turned gray. I was
luduced to try Ayer's Hair Vigor, and
In a few weeks tho diseaso In my scalp
disappeared and my hair resumed its
original color." (Rov.) 8. 8. Sims,
Pastor U. li. Church, St. Bornlcc, Ind,
" A few years ago I suffered tho entire
loss of my hair from the effects of tetter.
I hoped that after a time natttro would
repair the loss, but I waited lu vain.
Many remedies were suggosted, none,
however, with such proof of merit as
Ayer's Hair Vigor, and I began to use it.
The result was all I could have desired.
A growth of hair sodti camo out all over
my head, and grew to be as soft and
heavy as I ever bad, nnd of a natural
color, anil firmly .' J. H. Tratt,

ttiabled lilm to hold the heavy sIx-Miooter
williout a tremble. Tbo six nbooter
coveiod'' Warner. Tbo following a
tbo conversation tbat ensued:
What lime dees tbo night express

She's due in about half un hour but
the Is over an hour lato."
" An hour late, ch?"
"Yea, bosldesslie don't stop hero. You'll
have to go to liloouiyllle Ifyou want tako
the express.
" But If you telegraph to ltlooniyillo for
Her to stop beru sho'd stop wouldn't 'sbor"
"No, she wouldn't."

" Centre City."
" Well, tbeu a uiessagefiom Contic City

"Of coureo."
" All right. Then you can send a mcs-

wouldn't know but what It came from
Centre City, couldn't you ?"
"Icojild, but I wouldn't."
"Oh.wouldnit you? Not If I nskcl you?
Well jourig man. I'll be plain with you. If
you don't send just what I tell you to, I'll
send a couple of bullets tbrousb von.
We've torn up tbo trades Just around the
bend, so the traln'll htop anyhow, and
ibero'll be an eternal smash. Now we
don't want lo bother anybody. We lust
want a certain package that's In the ox-
press car. Wo know it s on this train. We
expect to have to kill the expressman, for
he lias an extra man to guard that package
It s valuable, It Is. If you don't stop that
train yon will perhaps kill fifty people and
get shot yourself. If you do, the folks In
bo sleeping car will never know anytlilng
out of tbo way, and wa will hayo the eiish
fylthout any bother. Sayvoy ?' -
"I understand. Letmolblnkamoincnt."
"Well huny up. There's no time to

"Is tbo track lorn up now, or are yon

"Tho track is toil) up now.''
"All rlgbt I'll stop the express.
"Now, look here young follow. 1 nant

" Nobody comes here anj bow. at nlubt.

All right. 1 want jou to understand

"I undcrslaud."
"All right again. Tlum go ahead.-'
The operator put his hand on the key,
and sat there thinking and did not press
tho key.
''Now, sco here; jou hurry up there. 1
ilon'i '.uil any monkey buslucsf."
Tlu operator tinned so sharp1 around

his revolver a lit'.le.
"Will jou oblige me by kecplnir jour

'All Hglil," said tb" operator, "make

Then be turned to the table and began
telegraphing.
"Kllck-u.kllck, kiick-n-klick, kllck-a

rapidly. '
"What's that?" said the dcspeiailo, for
celling bis vow of iioti-lntcrfcrencu of i

"II Is. 1 am calllng'tho ofllce nfllloom

"Kllek-a-kliek, k ick a-klick-chuck."
'There, I've got 'cm. .Vow don't Inter

Tho outlaw leaned forward with a pu
zled expression, and doubtless Mlshed he
knew as much about telegraphing as In
did about shooting.
" Is Stevens thera? asked the ini-tin
ment of Ulooiuvllle. "Toll lilm Wamcr

There was a paute, and then the liietrn
mctit at the lonely way station answered,
ll'arner rapidly rattlrd onl the following
message:
"This sbauty u in tbo poa?esslon of a

"Good idea! Now what am sou going

"Can jou make connection with the

with tha fellow here, and ho'll nvr

"We haven't tltno for Ibat. We would

long aud would burn out every switch,

perhaps kill him. Anyhow, you could get
his gun before, be recovered. When you're
ready call the oilice, Ground your current
and I'll send ll along on tho bid wire."
"Seems to lake a lot of telegraphing to
stop a train," said tbo deiperado uneasily.
"It does. You sco the train is behind

move from tho spot wher It was lill It was
tbtowu down, when It w killed with a
blow of a stick. It wai quite tno Inches
in length aud half an Inch in breadth, and
tbe two segments of the body were equal In
size. It Is distinctly-eliort-leggcd for a
spider, but the elghl leg nr very strong
and heavv. The body, too, ijcoycrcd with

DEATH BTHANOBtY 1HTEBVBHBD.
A few gossips of tbo southern end of St.
Louis are just now discussing tho strange
romanco of a young man who has for over
a year ncen a resident among them. Tbe
storyjs told toy the clergyman of the Itpls
copal church, who has been a sufferer from
the lady's strango fate. The ladv In nfts
tlnn Is but a visitor lo America, whence
she came to try to shako off a spell ol
which she firmly believe this Is tho victim.
A few years previous to her leaving "Hln
toric Caledonia" she returned" from tho pa
trimonial estates of the family, nine and
one-half miles from the Holytood Palace,
lu Kdlnhnrgb, to Aberdeen. By the death
of bcr father since her arrival lu tbls conn-
try she has become licit ess lo a large relate,
Sho Is refined, graceful and handsome, bnt
the fatality attached lo her makes her life
an unhappy ouh.
H'hcu but 17 years old sbo became
strongly attached to a nopbow of tbo
Bishop of Carlyle. One May while driving
across thu heath In his company, she bad a
prescntlmen. that ho would propose tbat
night and thai she accepted. She saw htm,
In a momentary vision, lying, pala and cold
by tbe roadside. Bewildered, sho Involun
tary stopped her horse, and In another mo
ment fell In a swoon. He boie her to a
cottager's near by, and on her recovery tbe
bashful vonug man's love bad been so In.
tenslflcd by anxiety, that, In a moment oi
mutual tenderness they wcie betrothed.
After escorting her homo ho had to pass
the same spot to return to his domicilii.
Tbe next morning they found him dead
near where she had fallen. Thi horse bad
evidently lhrwn htm, and bn had been
killed by tbe consequent Injury to bis head.
The lanv rccoveml,and eighteen months
afterward sho was bottothed loan English
naval ofllcor, wbo was suddenly ordered to
the West Indios to Join ber H. M. S. school
ship Eurydlcc. The next spring; on tbe
return of Ihe ship homo, sho was reekcd,
and all on board but two were lost. Tbe
young lover was not ouc of the saved.
Time healed tho lady's twlco-wounded
heart, and her affections were ou hy an
English army officer, who was drowned
shortly after the betrothal. The night be
was drowned she was attending a ball, and
according to her statement was solzed with
a sudden attack of dizziness and fainted.
On recovering she said she had seen III a
ball room suddenly transformed Into a sub
marine cavern, containing nothing but the
corpse of bcr accepted lieutenant. She
could never be Induced to danco again.
It took a great deal of persuasion to in
duce her lo become a fiancee again. Hut
the persistence of an American sea captat
conquorcd her reluctance, and shearcepte
him. Ho returned to Philadelphia with
bis ship for tho puiposo of putting bis af
falrs ltt shape for tho wedding. While bis
ship was at .anchor off tbo Delaware
Breakwater be was also drowned. The
brido-elect camo lo the Quaker City after
ward, and having rc)atlTa In Carondclel,
resolved to make a long visit to thorn.
Tlio clergsniAn wbo furnttbed the. facts
above related met nnd loved the lady, and
she apparently reciprocated, but wbcu be
proposed sbo replied by telling lilm ber
ttory, and alibis eloquence failed to change
ber reiolntlon novcr to marry. His atten
tion to her bad been a matter of society
gossip, so that there was something of a
sonsatlon when there appeared lu the so
ciety column of the Globe-Democrat an
Item stating that she had gone to visit
friends in the Interior of the State, and
would soon return to her homo In ScMlaud
to reside permanently.
OHi: DIES EVERY SECOND.
Here aie some interesting facts about
the people, who compose the population of
tbo world:
Theiearo3,(Xl-i languaKes lij the world,
aud its inhabitants profess moie than 1,000
religions.
The nmnlier of men Is about equal tolbe
number of womwi. Tbe aeragoof life Is
about 83 jenrs.. One quurter die previous
to the ago of 17. To every 1000 person
only one reaches 100 jeais. To every 100
only klx leach the ago of 65, and not more
than ono ih 600 live lo 80 e&t of age.
There are on the earth 1,000,000,000 In
habitants. Of these, 33,033.003 die evcrv
year; 01,624 eveiy day. 8,730 every hour,
00 eyorv minute, or 1 every second,
Tbe married tiro longer lived than tbe
single, and above all those who observe a
sober and feduslroiis conduct. Tall men
live longer than abort oucs. Women have
more chances of life In their favor previous
to fifty years of ao iImh men have, but
fewer aftcrw ard. -The
number of marrlnees Is In tbe pro
portion of seciity-tive to eveiy thousaud
individuals. Marriages are morn frequent
after equinoxes that Is, during the moiithe.
of Juno aud December.
Thoso born In Sprlus are generally of
moip robust constitution than others.
Births are more frequent by night than by
day, also deaths.
The number of men capable of heating
arms Is calculated nt nne-fourth of tb
population.
Merchants may differ In politics, but
when ll comes down to business all alike
want prosperity.
