Beauty
Is desired and admired by all. Among
the things which may best be done tc
enhance .pe'rs 6 nal
"beauty is the daily
use of Ayer's Hah
Vigor. No mattei
what the color ol
the hair, this prepa
ration gives it a lus
tre and pliancy that
adds greatly to its
(.harm. Should the
hair be thin, harsh,
dry, or turning gray,
Ayer's Hair Vigor
will restore the
color, bring out a
new crowth, and
render the old soft and shiny. For
keeping the scalp clean, cool, and
healthy, there is no better preparation
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 be
Abundant and Glossy,
but it has given my rather stunted nius
tacho a respectable length and appear
ance," . Button, Oakland, Ohio.
""My hair was coming out (without
any assistance from raj- wife, oith'ei).
I tried Ayer's Hair Yicor. usin? onlv
one bottle, and I now have as line a
head of hair as any one could wish for."
U. T. Schraittou", 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 timo with mo3t satisfactory re
sults." Benjamin af. Johnson. M. D.,
Thomas Hill, Mo. ' '
" My hair Was becoming lmral am! 1rtr
but after using half a bottle of Ayer's
Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I

I can always tell when it is going
to rain half a day ahead of any
change in fair weather," said champ
ion George Slosson as he was knock
ing around billiard balls in the Co
lombia rooms just after tiin recent
del age.
"How's that?" asked a bystander,
getting interested directly.
"Why, there isn't a better, barom
eter in existence than an ivory bil
liard ball or a good billiard cue," frie
billiard expert replied; "they are bet
ter than a favorite corn.
'HowdVe tell?"
"A ball always rolls slow and with
difficulty when it is going to' rain.
Ivory is so sensitive to changes of
temperature, particularly from dry
to-moist, that the- effect is felt almost
mstantaueouely. The oue will get
oranky, too, wbon there ia going to
be a change, long before the damp
ness is perceptible in uny other way.
Another peculiarity of the ivory
globes is their tendency to become
egg-shaped. They contract at what
are called the top and bottom poles
and swell out at the sides, so that
you might as vell play with potatoes,
if yon don't watch their idiosyncrasies-.
j-ney are worse" than old men in their
susceptibility to draught. A draught
will crack the ivory and make it ohip
off quick as a wink, and, liko old folks,
you can never get the spheres accli
mated to these draughts. Just take
a billiard ball and study its behavior,
ana you cau beat the clerk of the
weather prophesying. You cau bet
on 3'our own propheoy every time.

Great Britain Declines to Send Aid.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 21. Important
dispatches from the British pnvom.
ment arrived here Monday regarding
the-Behiing sea difficulty, and Sir
John McDonald, who has been spend
ing a holiday at the seaside, has hur
riedly started for Ottawa. The cab
inet met to-day to cntisider dis
patches, which, it is learned, sav
exphcity that the Eritish government
declines to allow its Pacific squadron
iu ouuiu pruiecuon to uanadian seal
ers found in Eehriug sea. The do
minion government has also been re
quested to prepare a schedule of n,Q
damages claimed by the owners of
the seized sealers. -.
It is thought from the advices re
PPIVPrl fbsif nonnh'.i :
.muv uuyuiiuuiiua are now m
progress between the United States
and the British governments to effect
a settlement of the difficulty by arbi
tration. A member of the cabinet said to
day that he had not the least doubt
that in the end thn Roiirlncr aa .,

Ion would be settled to the satisfac

abroad. ''On the hotel register I
found the name of 'C. Sidney Smith,
U. S. A. ambassador to England and
France and S. P. D. to the Czar of
Russia.' It was a puzzle to me and
I smelt a mouse, but I waited to see
him before giving anything away:

ex-drummer for a Chicago crockery
house. He had saved up a few hun-
