Beauty
Is desired and admired by all. Among
the things which may best be done tc
enhance personal
beauty is the daily
i:se of Ayer's Hail
Vigor. No matter
what the color Oi
the Jiair, this prepa
ration gives it a lus
tre and pliancy that
adds greatly to its
charm. Should the
hair be thin, harsh,
dry, or turning gray,
Ayer's Hair Vigor
will restore the
color, bring out a
new Growth, and
render the old soft aud shiny. For
keeping the scalp clean, cool, and
healthy, there is no better pieparation
in the market.
"I am free to confess that a trial of
Ayer's Hair Vigor has convinced me
that it is a genuine article. Its use has
not only caused the hair of my wife and
daughter to bo
Abundant and Glossy,
but it has given my rather stunted mus
tache a respectable length and appear
ance." R. Hritton, Oakland, Ohio.
"My hair was coming out (without
any assistance from my wife, either).
I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor, using only
one bottle", and I now have as tine a
head of hair as any one could wish for."
R. T. Schmittou, Dickson, Tenn.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor in my
family for a number of years, and re
gard "it as the best hair preparation I
know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the
hair soft and lively, and preserves the
original color. My wife has used it for
a long time with most satisfactory re
sults." Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D.,
Thomas Hill, Mo.
" My hair was becoming harsh and dry,
but after using half a bottle of Ayer's
Hair Vigor it grew black aud glossy. I
cannot express the jov and gratitude I
feel." Mabel C. Hardy. Delavan,IH.

LEGENDS ON ENVELOPES.
A Texan's Private Marks The Brit
ish Olerk.
A gentleman who ia in business in
th'is city, has a correspondent in a
Texas town, who, whenever he trans
mits money in any form by mail, cov
ers the envelope with an astounding
array of hieroglyphics evideully in
tended to scare off thieves.
He showed me one of these queerly
decorated envelopes. Along the top
of the reverse side was written "!De
coy letter No. 10 Ikm, P. O. J."
Across the flap of the envelope were
drawn rough pen lines, and sideways
from the center the words, "Private
marks." Below these signs wa3 the
inscription, "Witness O. K. at 24,"
with a formidable flourish beneath it.
"My Texas friend always ornaments
his envelopes in this fashion," said
may informant, "and he appears to
believe that postal pilferers will not
dare to touch a letter so embellished.
It is a queer notiouio gel into a busi
ness man's head."
Talking of marking envelopes, I
had a little experience with a British
mail clerk in London last year which
bears on the subject.
I usually mailed my letters to the
Dispatch at the postoffice at Churing
Cross. It was always necessary to
have them weighed, and the same
man, a florid individual of whose fea
tures I can only recall a singular
bulbous eye, performed the service
for me. In order to insure the let
ter's reaching the hands of the pro
per authority in the Dispatch office
with the least possible delay I was
wont to write along the top of the
envelope:, "News. Important." Every
time I handed one of these missives
to the meaty..eyed,Qlerk in the .Char
ing Cross pDstoflice I noticed he
looked hard at thd legend. "News.
Important," and a smile of scorn
would curl his upper lip.
One morning I gave a letter to this
clerk to be weighed, and business
being a little slack he took time to
say: "Hi suppose you think that
writing 'News, Jiimportant, on
that letter1!! make litis 'nrry hit
through."
"No," said I, "I know of nothing
that would make yon hurry, unless it
were dynamite."
Ever afterward wheu I went iuto
the Charing Cross qffiep I noticed
that the prominent eyo ,qf the face
tious clerk watohed me warily, i
think he suspected me of bring an
invincible.

Saysit Anyhowo How t did you
ever come to marry Mrs. Barrett?
Grinand Barrett (frankly; I mar
ried her for her money. She said
Bhe'd be worth a million on her wed
ding day estimated me at that fig
ure, you know. Saysit Anyhowe
Why, she deceived you shamefully!
Grinand Barrett Well, I was de

Do not endanger your health by
using quinine, when malarial fevers

Ayer's Ague Cure. Warranted.
An exchange remarks that "moth
ers have trained our presidents and
statesmen." True. They were for
tunate in having mothers. The only
man who ever made a success in life
without thg.training influence of a
mother was Adarn, and he felt the
need of one before his career closed.

TEAPPING MOSQUITOES.
They Cannot Get Their Eills Out While
Ton Hold Your Breath.
Three or four men were sitting on
the piazza of a seaside cottage smok
ing. It was evening. The stars were
as thick in the sky as freckles on a
red-hf:idtJ girl's fnce The waves
came in on the beach with a .- wish
swash swosh just a3 they have done
ever siuce the second day of the cre
ation. .
More piercing than the song of the
waves were the notes, and more mul
titudinous than the stars of heaven the
number of the mosquitoes that
haunted the piazza, aud every one of
them was "looking for blood.'' The
men censed smoking for fun. They
now puffed their pipes and cigars to
keep the mosquitoes away.
"Something funny about mosqui
toes," said one rather absentraiud
edly. "Yes, rather," was the drawling re
ply. "Funny how much blood it takes
to fill one of them up."
"No, but honest, now; do you know
that if a raosquito'd get his bill down
into your baud he can't pull it out
while you hold your breath?"
"Don't believe it."
"It is true, however, for I have
tried it."
"Bet yon the cigars a mosquito cau
take his bill ont at any time he wants to
do it, and wo will try it right hero
Is it a go?"
"It is, and I'll lot them try." A
lamp was lighted, the cigars jmt ont
and nil waited. In less than a miu
nte a mosquito bud placed himself on
Tom's hand and begun operations.
"Now," said Tom, nud placed the
forefinger of his other hand down
close to the mosquito. It did not
budge. He placed his nail against
the abdomen of the insect and whirled
it arouud. Still it.ieuiained fixed.
"You can do it every time," said Tom,
as he killed the mosquito and drew a
long breath.
It is a fact. Go and try it. Boston
