Ayer's Hair Vigor keeps the hair soft
and pliant, imparts to it the lustre'and
freshness of youth, causes It to grow
luxuriantly, eradicates Dandruff, cures
all scalp diseases, and is the most clean
ly of all hair preparations.
AVpR'Q Hair Vigor has given me
n I l-il J tjerfeet satisfaction. I was
nearly bald for six years, during which
time I used many hair preparations, but
without success. Indeed, what little
hair I had was growing thinner, until
I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor. I used two
bottles of tho Vigor, and my head is now
well covered with a new growth of hair.
Judson B. Chapel, Beabody, Mass.
HAIR that ba3 become weak, gray,
linill nnd faded, may have new life
and color restored to it by the uso of
Ayer's Hair Vigor. My hair was thin,
faded, and dry, and fell out in large
a uan titles. Ayer's Hair Vigor stopped
10 falling, and restored my hair to its
original color. As a dressing for the
hair, this preparation has no equal.
Mary N. Hammond, Stillwater, Minn.
lIRRR yonth, and beauty, in tho
V luUlij appearance of the hair, may
bo preserved for an indefinite period by
the uso of Ayer's Hair Vigor. A dis
ease of tho scalp caused my hair to bc
como harsh and dry, and to fall out
freely. Nothing I tried seemed to do
me any good until I commenced using
Ayer's liair vigor, xnree Dotiies oi

Fast Work in a Olotheapin Factory.
"One cent a box?" t
"Yes sir. Wo are- paid lc for
packing a box of five gross of cloth
espins," said one of the packers to
a reporter for the New York Mail
and Express recently.
"An expert can pack 1U0 boxes
in a day of ten hours. Sharp work,
that, handling 72,000 pins a day."
Clothespins are made in the lum
ber regions. They are usually
made oi white ash, sometimes of
beach, black and white birch and
maple. The wood is taken to the
factory in logs and cut into lengths
of 31 inches by circular saws.
These lengths are then cut into
blocks and the blocks again cut
into sticks. The sticks are placed
under another saw and cut into .the
required lengths. Next the turn
er takes a hand at them, and from
there they go to the slotting ma
chine. They are plaoed in troughs
by the operator, the machino pick
ing them up and slotting them.
They are then placed in a revolv
ing pipe-drier, going thence to tho
polishing cylinder and thon to the
packer. Each pin passes through
eight hands. A single plant con
sists of boird saw, gang splitter,
gang chunker, turning lathe, dry
ing house and polisher, and costs
from $7000 to 12,000. Tho ma
chines working are verv interes
ting. The little blocks of wood
5 inches long are placed on an
endless belt which feeds the blocks
automarically into tho lathe. As
the lathe is turned the pin is taken
automatically from tho spindle and
placed on a turntable and carried
to a circular saw, which whittles
out the slot end of the pin. It is
then finished and thrown o ut of
the turntable by the same appli
ance that puts the bins on the ta
ble. Falling they are caught, in a
basket or barrel and are then tau
en to the driving house for ten to
twenty-four hours, or until dry.
The polishing cylinder or rumbler
holds twenty to forty bushels: this
is run at a slow speed, about thirty
turns a minute, and"Ty simple fric
tion and contact they become pol

A Deadly Street Duel.

was hit twice. Accounts of the
tragedy are conflicting, and
it cannot be said who fired the
first shot. An article published
this morning in the New Missis

of the tragedy, though a breach
hasl'jugexisted between the men.
It charged incompetent service iu

A $60,000 Fire.
Pendleton, Or., May 1. The
Henrietta flour mills'' at Echo
burned -yesterday morningabout 1
o'clock, completely destroying the
mill and all the contents. The
mill was built by J. H. Koontz, in
1886, at a cost, including fixtures,
warehouses, etc., of $32,000.
Thirty thousand bushels of wheat
and a large quantity of flour and
chop feed were also bnrned. Tho
total loss is over '$60,000. The in
suranco on tho mill was 23,000,
divided between the Home Mutu
al, the Oregon Fire & Marino and
the State Investment Insurance
companies. The fire is supposed
to have originated from sparks
from tho engine of the eastbound
passenger train, which passed Echo
about midnight. L. J. Ward, an
employe of the mill, was asleep at
tho timo of tho lire, and barely
escaped being badly burned. The
firo is a great loss to the whole
community.
