A Gentleman
Who formerly resided lo Connecticut, but
who now resides In Honolulu, writes : "For
20 years past, ray wife
and 1 have used Aver '
Hair Vigor, aud we
attribute to It the dark
hair which she and I
now have, while hun
dreds of our acquaint
ances, ten or a dozen
years youngei than we,
are either gray-headed,
white, or bald. When
asked how our hair has
retained its color and
fullness, we reply, ' By
the use of Ayer's Hair
Vigor nothing else.' "
"In 1868, my affianced
was nearly bald, and
the hair
"m kept (ail
ing out
every
day. I
induced
her to use
Arer's Hair Vigor, and very soon. It not
only checked any further loss of hair, but
produced an entirely new growth, which has
remained luxuriant and glossy to this day.
I can recommend this preparation to all in
need of a genuine hair-restorer. It is all
that it Is claimed to be." Autouio Alarruu,

AYER'S
HAIR VIGOR
COURAGE IN SURGERY.
Why Experienced l'ractltloners Are Cool
While Operating.
An old surpcon, cng-ag-ed for the mo
ment in dissecting a cold roast quail,
and maliinp, itmiist.be confessed, only
an indiiTeront job of it, hud been lis
tening incidentally to the conversation
of his table companions who were dis
cussing the calmness and nerve dis
played by the average practitioner dur
ing surgical operations, says the New
York Herald. Both agreed that the
poise and coolness shown by surgeons
at times were extraorainary anu nuru
to understand.
'Now, friends, if you will permit
me," interrupted the surgeon at this
point, "I would like to tell you that
there is nothing extraordinary about
it The 'nerve,' as you call it, of the
surgeon under such circumstances is
the most natural thing in the worm.
ft is not a display of calmness which
has been nut on for that occasion, or
an exhibition of courage summoned up
for an unusual emergency, hut simply
the normal demeanor of a practical,
matter-of-fact man who knows what
he has to do and how he is going to do
it.
The trouble with many people who
marvel at what they call a surgeon s
courage is that they fail utterly to
comprehend the conditions under
which he performs his work. They
magine that lie is experimenting, or
that he doesn't know his ground, or
that he will cut something that he
ought not to cut. Nothing could be
further from tho facts. iNo movement
n science or mechanics is preceded by
a more accurate foreknowledge of its
results than tho average operation in
surgery. There is no such tiling as
guesswork about it. The operator
knows he is performing an operation
which is based upon an exact science.
lie follows rules which apply to all
cases, and is secure in tnc commence
that causes which have produced cer
tain effects in given instances will do
so in all others.
"Why, then, should there be any
need in his work for extraordinary
courage? Thero are cases, of course,
so critical or so unusual us to excite
even the calmest and most self-contained
operator, and when these are
under treatment the surgeon's powers
of self-control are frequently taxed to
their utmost limit. To the man who,
such a case, can wield the knife
without a tremor, when life itself de
pends upon the accuracy nnd delicacy
of his touch, we must award the praise
due to real heroes. I'.ut in the aver
age case, say of amputation or of skull
fracture involving cranial operations,
the surgeon neither needs nor possesses
more than the courage of an intelli
gent, sincere man, who knows his duty
and has learned how to perform it.
His technical knowledge of anatomy
and its methodical habit of work ac
custom him to conditions which alarm
and excite non-professional minds, and
he goes about his task with a certain
quiet, vigorous, assertive confidence in
the result of his movements winch the
observer is quite likely to mistake for
a marvelous courage summoned up for
that particular occasion, it is courage
of a certain sort, I confess the cour
age of absolute cotiildeiice in the in
fallibility of the science he repre
sents." ALI-BEN-ALI, THE COBBLER.
How II. Lost til. Wives and III. Faith at
the Same Time.
Ali-lien-Ali was and is a renegade,
lie believes In three gods, anil drinks
spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also
believes that women have souls and
that, while there nrc many houris in
heaven, there are more in lu ll. When
the muezzin calls to prayer he puts his
thumb to his nose and spreads his lin
gers out, which is his Turkish way of
expressing derision. Once upon a time
he owned seven slaves, four of whom
were white. Great men were his
friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says
Vance Thompson in the New York Ad
vertiser. He might have been a happy man to
this day had it not been for that devil
of an Alcibiades. Ali-bcn-Ali was sit
ting on his feet, looking through the
open door out on the blue waters of
the liosporus and the low sandy
shore beyond w hen the Greek came up.
lie was a low-browed Greek, lie was
peddling slippers with long rod points
which curled over like rams' horns.
Ali was absorbed in thinking of his
seven female slaves, lie kicked the
Greek In tho back violently two or
three times, but otherwise ignored his
presence.
The subtle Greek departed. Under
his low brow ho devised this revenge.
He wrote a lcttt-r to the sultan.
"We'll see about this," said the sul
tan. "Mesronr, oft with Uen Ali's
head and bring me his seven nice
wives."
Mesrour returned in half an hour, the
seven slaves, of whom four were white,
trailing after him.
"lien All is dead," he said.
Mesronr lied, lien Ali, by bribes
hail secured his escape and. disguised
as a bale of tobacco, was stored awuy
in a hold of a vessel bound for New
York, lie is in New York now to prove
that this tale is no lie. He cobbl

In tiie Austrian Army.
The polyglot character of the Aus
trian army was abundantly shown the
other day when the ancient custom of
solemnly swearing in the recruits in
the presence of the troops was revived,
after having been discontinued since
1818. In Vienna alone the formula of
oath to the colors had to be adminis
tered and read out in nine languages,
to-wit: German, Hungarian, Croatian,
Uohemian, Polish, Ruthenian, Rou
manian, Servian and Turkish, while
the religious part of the ceremony was
conducted by Roman Catholic, Greek
Catholic and Greek orthodox priests,
Protestant pastors, Jewi&h rabbis and
Mahometan ulema.
GULLS ARE SACRED IN UTAH.
Why Grutftfiil Mormons Impose a Fin.
for KilliiiK the lllrd.
Most interesting of the birds that
we saw on our dail' way to the pas
ture, says a writer in the Atlantic,
were the gulls, great, beautiful, snowy
creatures, who looked strangely out of
place so far away from the seashore.
.Stranger, too, than their change of
residence was their change of man
ners, from the wild, unapproachable
sea birds, soaring and diving and ap
parently spending their lives on wings.
From this high place in our thoughts,
from this realm of poetry and my
story, to come down almost to the tame
ness of the barnyard fowl is a marvel
ous transformation, and one is tempt
ed to believe the solemn announce
ment of the Salt Lake prophet that the
Lord sent them to his chosen people.
The occasion of this alleged special
favor to the Latter Day Saints was the
advent about twenty years ago of
clouds of grasshoppers, before which
the crops of the western states and
territories were destroyed as by fire.
It was then, in their hour of greatest
need, when the food upon which de
pended a whole people was threatened,
that these beautiful winged messengers
appeared. In large flocks they came,
from no one knows where, and settled
like so many sparrows all over
the land, devouring almost without
ceasing the hosts of the foe. The
crops were saved, and all Deseret re
joiced. Was it any wonder that a peo
ple trained to regaril the head of their
church as the direct representative of
the highest should believe these to he
really birds of God, and should ac
cordingly cherish them? Well would
it be for themselves if other Christian
peoples were equally believing, and
protected aud cherished other winged
messengers sent just as truly to pre
tcct their crops. The shrewd man who
wielded the destinies of his people be
side the Salt lake secured the future
usefulness o. what they considered the
miraculous visitation by fixing a pen
alty of five dollars upon the head ol
every gull in the territory. And now,
the birds having found congenial nest
ing places on solitary islands in the
lake, their descendants are so fearless
and so tame that they habitually fol
low the plow like a flock of chickens,
rising from almost under the feet of
the indifferent horses and settling
down at once in the furrow behind,
seeking out grubs and larviu and mice
and moles that the plow has disturbed
in its passage. The Mormon cultiva
tor has sense enough to appreciate
such service and no man or boy dreams
of lifting a finger against his best
friend. Extraordinary indeed was this
sight to eyes accustomed to seeing
every bird that attempts to render
such like service shot and snared and
swept from the face of the earth. Our
hearts warmed toward the "Sons of
Zion," and our respect for their intel
ligence increased as we hurried down
to the field to see this latter-day won

Street Venders Go Ahout with Charcoal
Stoves on Which Children Hake Cakes.
Japan has been frequently referred
to us the "Children's Paradise," and
with considerable justice, for in no
other country is childhood made so
much of, and are children surrounded
by so many devices for their amuse
ment. In every town, according to Dr.
V. I). Eastlake in the Popular Science
Monthly, there are numbers of street
ventlers and hawkers whose sole cus
tomers are children.
tine class of these venders carry two
charcoal stoves, or furnaces, swung in
the conventional manner of the country
from the ends- of a pole which rests
across the shoulder. Arriving at a con
venient corner, the load is put down,
and a group of eager children quickly
gather. For the moderate sum of one
or two rin the children are supplied
with a tiny cup of sweetened batter
and a spoon. Thus equipped, they
proceed to bake their own cookies on
the smooth iron top of the stoves, fash
ioning the dainties into whatever
shape they please, and, when they are
crisp and brown, devouring them. The
ame vender also devotes his skill to
children. His "stock in trade" consists
, of dried reeds and a quantity of niidzu
arac. a sort of malt paste. Some of the
amc is put on the end of a reed and is
molded or blown into some fantastic
shape bv the vender. The young cus
tomer dictates as to the figure, and
butterflies, flowers, gourds, or what
not are shaped from the sweet paste
The children, after having satisfied
their tasto for artistic design, eat the
finished work, the reed handle prevent
ing their fingers from becoming sticky.
There is another of the child amnsers
that can be seen in the streets of Tokio
or any other Jupnnese city. This arti
san mottis fruits, llowcrs anil vege
tables from colored rice-flower dough,
and does his work so deftly that it is
really dliileult to distinguish the artifl
cial from the real fruit.
This universal love and regard for
children is also displayed at every
temple festival, where numerous
booths, gay with toys, flags and games.
form always a prominent feature.
