TURNING GRAY A5D TURK AT EKED - WITH BALDNESS The Danger is Averted by Using AYEO'S HAIFJ f VIGOR "Nearly forty years ago, after some weeks of sickness, my. hair turned frray and began falling out so rapidly that I was threatened with immediate baldness. Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara- tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I have never tried any other kind of dressing. It stop ped the hair from falling out, stimu lated a new growth of hair, and kept the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend any of Ayer's medicines to my friends." Mrs. II. M. Haight, Avoca, Neb. Ayer's Hair Vigor - PREPARED BY . DR. J C. AYER & CO., LOWELL, MASS., U. S. A.

It is thought what little damage has been done fruit was caused by froat and not by the excessive rains of the past .'three weeks. A correspondent writes (and this is the general expression), con cerning the condition of fruir, as follows: "I fait to find any of my apples,' pears, 'cherries or strawberries burt in the least by the weather, or frost; in fact.it is seldom that the trees are' so loaded with blossoms and buds." . It is the impres- ' eion that the strawberry crop will reach market 10 to 12 days later than usual, owing somewhat to frost injuries to early bloom and partly to unsuitable weather. Peaches have been hurt in all sections and especially in the Hood River sec tion the trees are troubled with curl leaf. Apricots are doing .well ; applea are coining into full bloom arid grapes are making the usual growth. Democratic Speaking. Hon. A. 8.

The Blackf oot (Idaho) News tells of a somewhat remarkable experience which occurred to a blacksmith at that town lately. . The smith, whose name is Farmer, had ih his shop a grindstone which he wished to "taper off." ' For this purpose n small stone- was requisite. So he went out of doors and made search for a stone of the right sizo and shape. t :' He found one somewhat smaller than a hen's egg,- and returning to his shop began to smooth down the edge of the grindstone with it. )IIe had not 'smoothed" long before he thought that the stone worked rather queerly, and was, m fact, too soft to grind the stone. He took it to his. anvil and broke it in half, and then he found , that he had. picked up a nugget of pure gold. " Unfortunately, it was a rather small nugget: He sold it for S5.S2 cents, and though this was a very good price for u pebble picked up in the street, it was not wealth- Walts Long for a Drink. On Laurel hill in Bridgcton, N. J., there stands a house between whose walls is hidden a quart bottle of the purest applejack. The bottle has rested there for 39 years, and has, according to the old story told, eleven years more to stay. When the house was built, 39 years ago, a quart bottle was filled with "jack" and tightly sealed and plastered in the wall by a man who had the house built. The bottle is not to be 'taken from its dark recess until the son of the man who placed it there for him be comes 50 years of age. The "boy" is now 30 years of age, and in ,all these years has kept true to the promise made in the days of his youth to his father not to ' touch the bottle of applejack until he reaches the half-century mark in life's journey. Louis Napoleon's Prediction. A correspondent of the New York Sun calls attention to the fact that in his "Recollections of a Minister to France" Mr. Washburne says: "I was somewhat surprised to hear him (Na poleon III.) remark that he thought Gpain could not hold Cuba, and that the result would be that she would sacrifice all her soldiers and spend all her money and then lose the island in the. -end."
