"I know It Is, Jedge," pleaded the man who had never been In a police court bt fore, "but when a blame Dago comes and stops In front of the house Just after a man has had an argument with hls-wlfe about whether he gits an overcoat or her a cloak, and begins playln' "Home.

HEALTH HINTS: This l the Philadelphia Record's plan of preserving the hair: 1. Avoid tight fitting hats and collars, also close-fitting caps, unless these be of some porous ma terial. The two former prevent a due sup ply of blood to the parts, hence the hair papillae are put, as It were, on short com mons all the time the hats and collars are warn. The caps engender caloric, which st'is up irritation, and ultimately that most stubborn form of dandruff, namely, pity tlasis (I. e., a branny powder). Note that all headgear which Is not porous should be ventilated at top and sides to allow a free current of air. 2. Never stir or stand with the top of the head near a gas light or lamp light. The heat thrown out Is apt to paralyze the scalp tissues and dries up the hair Itself. 3. Don't wash the head oftener than once a. fortnight, when first rub in the yolk of an exx, and thoroughly rinse out with warm water, into which has been thrown a pinch of borax. Dry care fully and apply a little pure olive oil. 4. Beware of the common practice of dipping the comb In water when arranging the hair. It promotes decomposition and ran cidity of the natural oil and so leads to "rottng." 5. If the hair be naturally dry, apply a' little olive oil occasionally, . If naturally oily, occasionally wash away the excess of sebaceous secretion by means of a lather of tepid water and soap bark (qultlaya saponarla). . Salt water Is most Injurious to the hair, for which reason when bathing wear an oil can. 7. Always treat the scalp as if you loved It. Take to heart Dr. -Godfrey's dictum that "Every touch affecting so delicate a texture as the scalp should bo soft and soothing; every application bland and mild." Don't use stiff-bristled or wire brushes, and in all cases brush gently. Also, always brush out the hair before attempting to comb it, and use the comb as little as possible, 8. Have the ends of the hair clipped once a month, if only to prevent them from split ting. But don't close-crop. Enlarged glands will oreten be "cured" by takng cod-liver oil, from a teaspoonful to a tublespoonful after meals every day for two or three months. Painting tho glands with a tincture of Iodine is-frequently curative also. Paint once or twice a day. The application of Iodine to the neck often causes severe pain. One should be careful to apply but a light coating if it cause pain. To remove tartar from the teeth, get some powdered pumice, a match stick and vlnegur; dip the stick into the vinegar, then Into the pumice and very gently rub on the tartar so as not to Injure the en amel of the 'teeth. Kqual parts of pre pared chalk and powdered orris make a serviceable tooth powder. There Is no remedy to "restore bleached hulr" to Its "natural color." In time it may regain ts original color. As a precaution ugulnst rheumatism, wear nil-woo! underwear, from the neck to the heels, throughout the year; heavy weight In winter, wool-gauze In summer. Keep -the pores of the skin open and tin, bowel movements regular and free, THE TABLES TURNED: "Laura," said the husband of the Eman cipated woman, sternly. "What is It, dear?" asked the latter, In a conciliatory manner, for she saw that trouble was coming. "l-diura, In the last three weeks-1 have given you three letters-to mull, addressed to dear papa. What have you done with them?" ".Mailed them, of course," replied the wretched woman. In a determination to bluff it out if passible.' "Laura," the husband went on, "that Is not true. 1 received a letter from papa to iluy In which he says he has not heard from me for a month, and anxiously ask ing if- anything is tho matter. Now you have got those letters somewhere about your clothes, if you haven't lost them. I know Just as well as I know that 1 am standing her that you hover mailed those letters. Now go through your pockets and see If you haven't got them." The emancipated woman commenced to look through her pockets, and soon turned out the missing letters, which she laid on the table, with the remark: "Well. I could have sworn that I put thoe letters In the letter box on the cor ner." - The man sneered. "Yon can't trust a wmnun to do anything," . he retorted. "Hereafter I'll mall my own letters, and I won't occupy your valuable time with such errands. Before you go I want $10 for household expenses." The emancipated woman meekly laid the money down on the table and went avny with the remark that she would leave tho olllee early In the afternoon and come af ter her husbnnd to take him to the mati nee.

The scene Is laid In Ireland about the middle of the 14th century an age of su perstition, bitter feuds and snvase vio lence. Turlogh, son of Fineen, with a band of unwilling clansmen, has dared to approach a grove haunted by a mysterious being of whom the most terrifying tales are told. His followers dare not proceed; but with one guide a man in monkish gurb, professing to have power over spirits and demons Turlogh enters the perilous wood. This companion proves to be his bitterest foe an O'Hwyer, sworn to avenge the death of his father (who fell by the hand of Fineen) upon the slayer's son. The false monk hus thrown Tur logh upon the cround. driven a spear. blade through his shoulder, and Is now speaKing with his dagger raised to dis patch hiin. A furious storm is raging. 111. "The 'false guest' nto nothing under your roof that he did not bring with him," he said, with sharpness. "The 'liar' warned you of your fate. And now there will be no further words. The storm Is not spent, and there Is a long day s journey over tne mountain before me, and I will be taking with me your head wrapped in my gown. There is a short minute to you for your prayers." A bold peal of thunder rolled over the face of the thicket, and echoed from crag to crag: along .Mount -Oabrlel's flank. The blue lights glided again among tho twigs overhead. Turlogh shut his eyes from them, and sought a prayer. He could think only of Cumara, and the men In the boat. They loved him. but they would never be minding him. They were not wrong, He was no right man to be a lord and chief over others. His brother, Conogher, was more fit. He would be knowing how to make them obey him. And some time somehow he would be learning- what black O'Dwyer had done. Maybe it would be the man- witch with the beard of feathers who would cause him to learn It. And now there was no time to find out if such a man-witch did run his ghastly course through the little oak wood and the alder-hollow or anything else what ever. The towers of Dunbeakeen he would not be seeing them again, or the black, fat herds In the bawns, or the pretty girls weaving their nets, or the fall of the evening shadows on the gray waters of Dunmnnus or any sight at all. Ho kept his eyes closed, and bent his mind nnon the fnmilar things they would never be looking at more, and waited. But now there was a noise In the thicket, which was not of the thunder or the rushing wind a noise wnicn burst suddenly close about him, of sav-bo-o omu ls and curses, and crackling branches under foot. The effort to take nennnnt of this Brave Turlogn a mo ment's giddiness. The spenr had been wrenched from his shoulder, and the deep pain of it racked and swayed his brain toward swooning. Then, getting his thoughts vaguely back from the threshold of death, he opened his eyes. On the instant, with a little cry of agony at the woe In his shoulder, he sat upright and stared wnue-mceu dumb with bewilderment. What Turlogh had not seen, berore he sought the prayers that would not come, was a dim crouching figure in the darkness under tne rocxs, vermis i from the obscurity with eyes alight, o,wi in imncrcpiitible edgings forward. coming close to the back of the O'Dwyer. What Turlogh's amazed eyes beheld were two powerful forms locked In a deadly grip, writhing, rocking, tugging in frenzied passion at eacn inner, aim tearing the soft mosses and forest car pet with their feet as they fought, with in a pace .of where he sat. A stick hurled upwards from the ground struck him smartly on the cheek. He forced himself to rise to his feet, and with poised hands, thrust forward his face In the effort to see wnicn was wnicn of the two combatants. Even above llo Sat I'prieht and Stared Whltcfaccd. 'T " B- the pain of his wound rose the violent lust to have a share In this furious struggle. But the light was low In these depths, and his eyes blurred. He shouted In h!i confused flutter of hope and fear, and one of the two embattled forms was thrust with violence against him. He reeled backward, and caught at the rock to steady himself, and had a moment's terror lest he should fool ishly fall down where he stood. It was another who fell with a force ful crash, and upon him plunged head long the form of the victor. Turlogh saw blood on the leaves, and a black ened face turned upward among the roots, with Its eyes bursting forth at him in despairing horror. It was the face of the O'Dwyer, and Turlogh felt his foot itching to plant Itself upon that face. He leaned against the rock Instead, and gul'ted something; down that rose In his throat, and shook off the falntness that was on him. Then there seemed to be more light, and he saw clearly. A creature In the semblance of a man, half naked, and for the rest clad In strange, discolored tatters of skins and rags, and with a savage mane of hair and beard growing In tufts and patches enveloping Its head, knelt upon the breast of the O'Dwyer. Its sinewy hands, corded and stained to the like ness of some foul giant-bird's talons, were clasped fiercely about the fallen man's throat. From Its lips there came a hissing murmur vile to hear. Turlogh, looking, saw that the long bodied nshen-hued dog was tnere, too, close to his feet. He shuddered and pushed himself for supoprt against the jutting bowlder.' "Who are you 7" he heard his own quavering voice ask. The kneeling creature lifted Its head and stared fixedly at Tunogh. The sense of mystery vanished on the In stant.' It was the face of an elderly omadhaun, vacant, smiling, furtive, pit iful. It nodded and grimaced under Turlogh's eye. "Have you no speech?" demanded Turlogh. He spoke freely now, as If to a strolling iignt-wit at nis own gates. "They beat tnt away with sticks and stones," said the simpleton. He spoke In a thin, muffled, squeaking voice, and It was not easy to comprehend hia words. "They strike me, and put the dogs after me, but some one is my father. It may be that In a year and a day he will come for me, and feed me with white meats. I go to the head and look for him, because It is very bad for me nere. He will be having a silk coat and gold pieces In his ears, when he comes with the hlghtlde." Turlogh held u: his hand to check the meaningless babble. The trees and the kneelins figure, and the corpse, swam before his eyes. "Bear me down to the water's edge to my boat!" he said, abruptly. The omadhaun slowly withdrew his hands from the throat of the O'Dwyer. "That gown It was that tripped him," ne crooned, Grinning as ho pointed to the "Leave Him and licar Mo to My Boat." monk's frock still twisted about the dead man's legs, and with a sudden stray gleam of sense in his eyes. Turlogh's knees bent under him. and he clung with his elbows against the rock. "Leave him, and bear me to my boat!" he groaned. And then black ness E:read Itself over all. . a At night. In the little chamber be side the hall of Dunbeakeen, the herb doctor and the bard stood together at the side of the low bed, and looked down at the ?ale sleeping face of their young lord. Old Cumara crouched be hind thenii in the shadows beneath the ring of fish-oil tapers against the wall. "Oh, then, when the first cock crows," walled the boatman, "the life will be out of him! The devil himself brought him out of the little oakwood. and laid him on the strand, nnd ran back, with a dog of hell at his heels. And we went alone on the strand, and we bore him to the boat, with the marks of the devil's teeth torn Into his shoulder. And the monk was not to be seen at all, the holy man! Oh. wlrra! wlrra! Why would It not be me Instead?' "Hsh-h!" muttered the herb-doctor.- Turlogh had opened his eyes. He lifted himself on his left elbow, and looked around with a slow gaze, noting the faces about him, and bringing him thoughts together, one by one. Then he sm'led, and their hearts took Joy, for there was no illness on him. "Bring me food and drink now," he said, "and bid Culnln the builder come to me in the morning. I will be rais ing a chapel In the little oakwood by the strand without delay, and I will dedicate it to St. Molaggi, the orfiad haun." . - Cumara groaned, but the two others exchanged a glance, and nodded. "It will be to the memory of the holy man, the friar, who went with you and did not return?" asked the bard. Turlogh looked gravely at htm and his companion, and then upward at the half-circled lights. "Oh, then, it Is you for the reading of men's thoughts!" he said to his bard, and smiled again. (The End.) of all cases of consumption can, if taken In the earlier stages of the disease, be cured. This may seem like a bold assertion to those familiar only with the means gener ally in use for its treatment ; as, nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract of malt, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphitcs and such like palliatives. Although by many believed to be incura ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact , that, in all its entlier stages, consumption is a cnrable disease. Not every case, but a large per centage of cases, and we believcyiZr 9$ percent, are cured by Dr. Fierce 's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by " Golde.i Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have.

Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene-, fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the liypophos. phites had also been faithfully tried in vahi.
