Dress the Hair
"With Ayer'a Hair Vigor. Its cleanli
ness, beneficial effects on the scalp, and
lasting perfumo commend it for uni
versal toilet use. It keeps the hair soft
and ailken, preserves its color, prevents It
from falling, and, It the balr has become
weak or thin, promotes a new growth.
"To restore tho original color of my
hair, which had turned prematurely
gray, I used Ayer'a Hair Vigor with en
tire success. I cheerfully testify to the
Efficacy
of this preparation." Mrs. P. II. David
ion, Alexandria, La. )
" I was afflicted some three rears with
scalp disease.- My hair was falling out
and what remained turned gray. I was
induced to try Ayer'a Hair Vigor, and
In a few weeks the disease in my scalp
disappeared and my hair resumed its
original color." (Uav.) S. S. Sims,
Pastor TJ. B. Church, St. Bernlce, Ind.
" A few years ago I Buffered the entire)
loss of my hair from the effects of tutter.
I hoped that aftor a time nature would
repair the loss, but I waltod in rain,
Many remedies wora augsestod, none,
however, with such proof ot merit as
Ayer'a Hair Vigor, and I began to us It.
The yasult was all I could have desired.
A growth of hair soon camo out all over
ay head, and grew to bo as soft and

color, and firmly set." J. H. Pratt,

Whon tho wild winter winds did blow,
Tho bitter winds ot January,
That aw ept with sparkling swirls of snow
Tho wastes of western pralrioj
A little child came to my arms ' '
To bring me Joy-or sorrow may be,
And so, beset by vuguo alarms
I sighed i "Another baby!"
Another little waif to tend,
Another tlttlo helpless stranger,
To lead, to feed, to fold, to fend,
From every wrong and danger.
TO make one anxious, make one sad,
And. fearful for each morrow may bo
"With heart half-sorrowful, halt-glad,
I moaned: "Another baby!" -
And then I thought how near, how deaf
Tho'llttle children God had sent us.
How full they made our home of cheer,
And how their presence did content us
Hard If but one were laid away
This vearorn'ext, as might or may be.
Our hearts would ache.woul'dhurit or break,
And no,w "Anothbrbabylj.'
Ah, so I thought!. and so I said,'
In ecstacy ot peace and pleasure,
As bending down I kissed the head
Of ray last, weest. weakest treasure;
"Oh, dear child ot my life nnd love,
Whate'cr 5 ou arc, whate'er you may be,
I take you from the Christ above.
And thank Him for Another baby!"

AflFenture wilii Australian Buslirangers.
In the early days of tho colon; of New
South Wales It was never safa to travel In
the bush unless very well armed. No one
was safe from the robbers known as bush
rangerswho Infested tho country, and
many a tnallcoach driver was shot dead,
his coach completely.sacked In search of
gold and the unfortunate; passengers robbed
of their money, luggage and often left tied
to trees until rescued by e)thor travelers.
Most of the bushrangers at that time
were escated convicts who, not daring to
be seen in tho town, were obliged to llva in
the mountain caves; and when they got to
hear of a ruallcoach being likely to pass
with gold for the bank they laid their plans
to rob It on Its jonrney to the city.
Now these are almost thiDgs of the past,
for there are branch banks In every part of
ibe colonies and money Is so securely
guarded that there Is very llttlo prospect of
success for a bushranger. Still now and
again we hear of coaches belnj robbed .and
farm houses or "sheep ranches" being at
tacked by theje daring men.
Only a fow years ago Melbourne was
thrown Into a stale of fright by the news
of a gang of bushrangers shooting a police
trooper dead who went to arrest them for
stealing horses. They escaped, and, em
barking In a career of crime, for some time
were successful in evading justice by hiding
themselves In cayes In the Strathbogie
Ranges; but one day they were captured by
some mounted police. They were tracked
to"a small wooden building where liquor
wa4old, kept by a woman named Jones;
and after barricading the doors against the
police, tho.houso was set fire to and they
were caught and afterwards hatiged.
I was living In Victoria at the time, but
had been to Sydnor on a trip; and as it was j
the day after the burning of the but and
overland express passed qulto close to
the ranges, we made up a party for the
purpose of visiting the smoldering ruins.
hen I retmned to Melbourne the follow
ing day and had related our experience my
dear mother seemed highly lnteiested; and
as we sat around a cozy fire that night, and
had been questioned all about this gang
ot btishrangors, she said in a very quiet
manner:
"I think I could tell you something very
interesting In the way of bushranging ad
ventures." We were all attention at once, for moth
er's talcs of he j youthful days were always
liked by us, and as we gathered.our chairs
closer around the bright b5j that was
thrown out from the huge lo'gjfolie. began:
All of sou children know how your
.grandfather left Kugland ajiS landed in
New South Wales when quite young. It
must have been about 1840, as far as I can
recollect, when he was made a sort of
banker. Tom wlll perhaps wonder why.
At that lime there was no bank out of
Sydney, and as the llttlo town of Rich
uiond was miles away it ;vas not only a
tedious but a very exDensive journey to
the city of Sydney for the farmers. Your
grandfather was very much respected, and
as he was the ouly magistrate then In the
district h(s advice was asked upon various
matters.
The event I am going to tell you about
happened after an Kaster Sunday. He had
attended dlyine service some miles away,
and as is usual tn Australian churches there
Mas an Kaster collection. This Sunday the
collection was unusually large on account
f tho good season the farmers hadl and
in addition to the collection money there
were about 400, the result of the sale ot
some church property. Thn trustees of the
church know that on the following Tues
day your grandfather Intended visiting tho
city, aud so begged that he would take the
sum which altogether amounted to about
500 and deposit it In the bank. This be
decided to do, but not without some slight
mUglylngs; lor bushrangers were dolnj
wild deeds at that time an,d the dally news
papers were scarcely eyer without some ac
count of x dreadful murder or robbery of
mall coaches committed by them. Your
grandfather took the money all In notes
and then began to consider what he should
best do with It for Its safely.
"After an houi's quiet consideration be
decided what to do, and did it. Then he
mounted his beautiful old black horse, who
was slightly lame, and started off for home,
lie was a good Imshman and knew the way
almost as well at night as by day and he
trotted merrily along.
"lie had a very good path through the
cum saplings and almost let 'Honnla Hess'
guide uerseit. lie naci passen a corner and
bad merged into the open red when nil at
once;
" 'slop1
"He startad back and saw three men
black masks and each with a pistol In both
nanus. ,
" 'Where's tho colnf
" 'What coin? asked ray father.
" 'Oh, that'll do, governor, ll'e know
all about Itr and at once they hauled him
off his saddle.
"Now, boys." said the leader of the trio.
who was a big, powerful man.
wun mese words tney twtaniiy pro
cceded to undress your grandfather. They
took his boots off and examined them care-
,.!!.,- llt.M plnn nmAn 1,1. nt .n.l
garments, and while he ttood there shtver-
Inc fn thn nnlil Ihpv ovamlnpd averv artlfdft '
of clothing ha had on.
"Suddenly one of the nieu called out:
"Go for the saddle!" and, to my father's
horror, they began to examine that.
"After a search which proved fruitless
the leader said: 'Well, 1 reckon It's no
good. He ain't got the coin.' "
"So with a grunt they threw my grand
father his clothes, keeping his boots only,
They said, 'You can keep .your nag, gov
ernor, for he's loo lame for us.' "
"My father, who had retained his usual
coolness all this time, said to one of the
men:
"Well, I suppose jou are the man who
is wanted by the police?"
"Yes, I am Jack? Jacky.'
"After dressing himself, and thanking
the men for not molesting htm any further,
my father mounted the lame horse, and
riding off reached homo at about four
o'clock In the morning. Of course your
dear grandmother was In an nn ful fright,
and had not gone to bed at all."
"After your grandfather bad related his
adventure to tier she said: 'And what a
lucky thing, dear, that you did not have
the money with youl' "
"But I had!"
"You had! Where was It?"
"My father wcntoutslde, and, returning
In a few minutes, he dragged in the saddle,
and placing It on the table, began with his
pocket-knife to very carefully cut the
small stitching underneath. My mother
looked on In great wonderment, and ex
claimed: 'But John, dear, you say they
searched the saddle?' "
So hey did, dear, but thoy forgot that
I should ba equal to them. I had old
Brown, the saddler, la my little room at
the hotel, and before I left, these notes
were carefully stitched In with the padding.
You know, dear, that as a rule notes are
merely slipped Inside the leather covering,
bat they did not reckon that I should have
these really stitched through."
And there they were, literally pierced
with tiny boles, but none the worse for
that. And so my father saved the little
600.
"The next morning we heard an account
of the same gang attacking the mall coach
and shooting the driver dead. Mr father
often says that if the; had' taken a fancy
to Bonnie Bess, which they would un
doubtedly have done had she not been
lame, they might haye carried off the saddle
too, and then, of course, the money was
theirs.
"You may bo sure the church people!

silken hair and said:

'Are you sure, mv daughter, that he Is

A story is told of a man In a near county
whose name we withhold. The gentleman
in question Is not a member of the church,
and while honest and upright In all his
dealings does not go very strong on religion.
Not maHy months ago, just after a heavy
rain, he was driving along a certain road.
On reaching tho top of a hill at the bot
tom of which was a creek much swollen by
the rains and away out of Its banks his
mules considered they would run away.
They pitched off dowu the hill at a furious
pace. Tho man did all In his power to
check them, but In vain. Just before they
reached the rushing water the man shouted
to his boy who was In the wagon with him :
We are going to be drowned 1 Tray, Jim,
prayl"
"Dad, I can't pray."
"Say something " ho shrieked, ns they
dashed into the water.
"Ob. dad. I can't!" But. thinking a
second, the boy shouted: "Lord, make us
thankful for what we are about to receive!"
Then they went down Into tho creek,
which was not as deep as the man had ex
pected, and the mules having had their fun
out went on a more leisurely gait. The'
man has since learned a number of prayers
for sudden emergencies.

The conclusion that the gypsies wandered
from India Is now almost universally ac
cepted, but when or from what part of
India are questions on which few have
done more than Idly speculate. The Iden
tificatlon of the gypsies with the JfUs, who
n the Punjab alone number 1,300,309, has
received the support of many of those whose
opinions on such matters must receive the
greatest respect. In a metrical paraphrase
f Genesis made by an Austrian monk
about 1122 they are noticed ns Ishuiaehtes
aud their descent thus credited to Hagar,
There is a tale extant that the- wandering
instinct of the gypsies Is duo to the fact
that his ancestors refused to shelter the
Virgin and Child In their flight Into Egypt.
