Just as no mau by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation •can make hair. ,The utmost that can be done is to pro- mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re- moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour- ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor.

TURKEY STILL OBSTINATE IN HER DEMANDS. She Claims All Conquered Territory in Thessaly—Forward Movement of Tur1c- Ish Proops — The Porte's Reply to tate Collective Note. The correspondent.: of the London Standard at Constantinople says "The Council of Ministers has decided to prolong the armistice. It will re- fuise even to discuss the retrocession of Thessaly, but will leave the other points for consideration to the pow- ers. So far as the note to the Eu- ropean uropean arbitrators is concerned there can be no doubt that whether the Sul- tan is only bluffing, or is the victim of popular pressure, a peace such as Europe expects cannot be arranged without the risk of the gravest com- plications. TO. RETAIN THESSALY. "The Grand Vizier on Saturday pre- sented a report to the Sultan, urging that the whole of Islam was fully de- termined to retain Thessaly, and add- ing ;—'Your Majesty proved victorious in Armenian and other matters, when you firmly refused to bo, dictated to by Europe. Therefore you should be equally firm on this occasion. But if my views are unpalatable to your Ma- jesty, I beg of you to accept my re- signation.' THE SULTAN WEPT. "It now appears that the armistice was, originally, for three days onlye. and nothing but the energy of the powers secured an exeension for a fortnight. The story is current that a wounded Turkish soldier at the Yil- diz hospital, on being invited by the Sultan to proffer a dying request, im- • plored hien not to yield up Thessaly. The Sultan grew pale, and his eyes filled wi ears. "Seyfullah Bey, chief of the staff of the Sultan, and the Von Moltke of the campaign has been summoned to Con- stantinople to give the military com- mission the benefit of his advice." TU,RKEY'S FORWARD MOVEMENT. The correspondent of the Times at I Saloniea, telegraphing on Wednesday, says :—"I have just arrived here, after passing through Larissa, Elassona, I and Sorovitch en route, There is a I steady forward movement of reinforce- ments along all the roads. The forces under Edhem Pasha's command must now be close on the 200,000 men." REPLY TO THE NOTE., The Daily Mail's correspondent at Constantinople says the Porte has re- plied to the note of the powers, and consents to negotiate for peace, pro- vided the Greek commanders first sign an armistice. THESSALY TROUBLE. The correspondent of the Standard at Constantinople says :—"The imme- diate entourage of the Sultan favours restoring Thessaly to Greece. The Turkish F oreign Minister has spoken on the subject in A. conciliatory tone to Baron de Calico, the AustroeHungarian Ambassador. 1 Russia does not conceal her extreme irritation at Germany's policy, which is so openly and persistently directed against Russia, that many Turks ac- cuse Germany of deliberately plotting to produce a rupture between the two countries." i TRF, TURKS IN THESSALY. ) 1 The Greek Government has sent a memorandum to the powers protesting against the indemnity demanded by • Turkey, and also protesting against Lha proposed rectification of the Greek frontier. It is reported' that the Turks have confiscated 1,200,000 bushels of wheat at Volo, and that the Turkish cam- mallokx has issued a proclamation call- ing upon the peasants to return and gather the harvest, as otherwise their crops will be confiscated. RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE. Accordinga. to despatch to the . P Frankfort Zeitung from Constantinople Count Nuxaireff, the Russian Foreign' Minister told bbs Turkish Ambassador at St. Petersburg that Turkey must renounce her impossible claim to an- nex Thessaly. He added in bis opinion t he claim had only been advanced to prolong negotiations, or as a pretext the far prolonging e war which Europe would on no account permit. This 1 Statement so impressed the Sultan, ac- ;cording to the correspondent of the Frankfort Zeitn'ng', that he has been making special' efforts to 'restore friendly relations with Britain, and ordered the whole palace entourage to attend the garden party given at the British Embassy in eltonour of the Queen's birthday.. - The big French naval scheme calling( for one hundred million francs, in addi- tion to the regular naval expenditure, has been endorsed by the Naval Com- mittee of the Chamber of Deputies.

A SLIGHT MISTAith. • Mr. Chester met in the street a friend) carrying a parcel under his arm. He inquired what it contained. His friend replied, "Gaiters." "What makes you, buy gaiters?" asked Mr. Chester. "Well," replied the purchaser, "I saw them as I was passing down that alley„ and they struck me as such good ones." "Oh," replied Mr. Chester, smiling; "then of course you will call them al- ley gaiters?" His friend giggled appre- ciatively, and hastened home to his wife, to whom he said, as he hurriedly dressed for a dinner -party,. "Remind me this evening to tell a very funny story that I heard to -day." At din- ner his wife dutifully complied with( his request, whereupon he related the following story. "I was walking down Such Street this afternoon, when I meta Mr. Chester. He asked me what Iwas carrying under my arm, I replied, "A! pair of leggings." He said, "Where did you get them?" I said, "In that street across the way." Whereupon Chester said—you know what a witty fellow he is— "Ah—then I s uppose you call then crocodiles?' "—and he couldn't think why no one laughed.

In Scotland and the English and Irish ports they are called luggers, but an the Isle of Man have the local name of "nickies."

Owned by England and is Able to Discharge 1,000 Shots in 123 Seconds. The English government is now ex- perimenting with a gun which will fire 1,000 shots in 123 seconds. It is the deadliest of all the automatic man - slayers ever yet invented, As with all machine guns, the first shot must be fired by hand. After that the weapon will absorb cartridges and emit a chain of bullets as long as it is fed,' Experi- ments xperiments made thus far show that on the occasion of a brief, sharp attack, the gun can actually be made to fire eleven shots in a single second. A very enteresting feature of this new gun is that the explosive power re- sults from the use of cordite. The whole of this substance is expended in pressure, whereas black powder is only useful for pressure to the extent of fifty per cent. rile experiments with cordite and with the gun referred to show conclusively !that cordite is not affected by water, as is gunpowder, and will stand a great variation in tempera- ture. SOME LATE CABLE NEWS, OFFICIAL CELEBRATION OF THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.

A despatch from London says :—The official celebration of the Queen's birth- day was observed in London with the usual closing of the courts and Govern- ment offices, the ringing of church bells, a display of flags, artillery sa- lutes, and the ceremony of trooping the colors on the Horse Guards' parade in which the colonial troops now in London took part. Although the ceremony was somewhat marred by rain, it was witnessed by the usual throngs of people, The New South Wales, Indian, and other detachments of colonial troops present attracted considerable attention. The Royal family was Iargely represented at the trooping of the colors. The ceremony was unusually imposing. The Prince of Wales was attended by the Duke of York, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Connaught, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Lord Wolseley, the Commander -in -Chief of the forces, and a large and brilliant staff, includ- ing an Indian aide-de-camp, The Prince was received with a Royal sa- lute, which was given by the Grena- dier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, the Scots Greys, Second Life Guards, and the colonial troops. The Princess of 'Wales, the Duchess of Albany, the the King and Queen of Wurtelnberg, Prince and Princess Charles of Den- mark, the Dui;hess of Fife, the Duchess of Connaught, and others, witnessed the ceremony from the Commander -in - Chief's room in the Horse Guards' building. Lord Radstock, secretary of the So- ciety for the Christian Succour of In- dia, has received a letter from the Rev. J. O. Denning, an American clergy- man at Narsinghpur, relative to the dishonesty and incompetence of the natives who are administering thefam- ine fund. Mr. Denning says that, ow- ing to the action of the Hindoo mem- bers of the local district committee, not asingle halfpenny bas reached the poor Hindoos. He adds that the members of this committee opposed all relief of children, on the ground that the only or, hanage is Christian, and that to hell the children would be helping the Christians. A sharp drop in the Barnato group of South African securities was occa- sioned on Wednesday by adespatch from Cape Town stating that Barney Barnato was suffering from nervous prostration, whish bad compelled bis friends to place him under restraint.

Ile ruints out Their Great Destructive Pos. slbility — (lust Look Out tor Booths Overheard, Instead of in Front or Be- hind. .Captain Sir B. Baden-Powell, a dis- tinguished military authority, warns the governments of all nations that they had batter put bomb proof roofs on their forts, if they want to stand any chance whatever of winning the next war in which they engage. Cap- tain Powell says that an aerial war ship is an absolute certainty, and that what the military genius of the future will have to look out for will be bombs overhead, instead of in front or behind In other words, Captain Powell states that the fort without a roof will be about as useful as the fifth wheel of a wagon. When questioned about the matter, Captain Powell said:—"While we have time, let us take what precaution we may for our defence. It may be pos- sible to protect to some extent our fortifications by means of sloping, bomb proof roofs over the more vul- nerable portions. The guns must be made capable of firing upward. Dur- ing the siege of Paris the Germane had a number of guns specially made on swivel mountings for firing at balloons, though it is also true that very few of them were hit during the siege. Roe- kets might, perhaps, prove macre use- ful. The only really efficient means of defence, however, will undoubtedly be for every army and every govern- ment to make themselves equal, if not superior, to their enemies with aerial armaments. AERIAL MACTIINES WILL FIGURE. "I think we may at all events consid- er it a fact that aerial machines will figure to a great extent in the wars of the future. These may be the exist- ing cumbersome windbag, traveling with difficulty fourteen miles an hour, or they may be balloons so improved as to go twenty or thirty miles an hour. It is also possible that a slow pro- gressing flying engine may be introduc- ed, or that finally some swift darting 'aviativa,' traversing over one hun- dred miles in the hour, and outstrip- ping the fastest flying bird, will be the foe with which we shall contend. Even if the existing navigable balloon be not greatly improved upon—if we con- sider the advantages that France actu- ally possesses to-day—we see then many occasions on which this invention will be of the greatest value. "Every nation has this problem to consider, as they are at present situat- ed, with the possible exception, of Rus- sia. Should some foreign nation pro- duce an engine of war such as a dyna- mite carrying aerostat, there Is no cer- tainty that the others would be able at once to imitate it and employ sim- ilar tactics. It is more tha,n ;probable that new inventions of this sort could easily be kept secret, sines the diffi- culties ,chiefly lie in the details. "In fact, it may be said that effi- cient mephines or many descriptions could probably be easily made if only we could turn out a suitable light weight motor. Now, a motor, whether it ,be steam, electrio, gas, explosive or any other, can easily bis kept a secret. It would be practically impossible, then, for an observer, on seeing an aerial ma- chine in mid-air, to discover and repro- duce the details of the mechanism of its motor. ADVANTAGE OF SUCH AIR SHIPS. "If two nations actually went to war —two great nations—that power which had organized an aerial navy would possess such an incalculable advantage that its opponent would suffer a most crushing defeat. Within a few hours of the declaration of war some aeromo- tors could be despatched quite out of range of guns, and perhaps travelling at such a speed as to insure safetyfrom projectiles over the enemy's country. From them explosive shells could be dropped where and when the aeronaut willed. By this means fortifications could be damaged, magazines blown up, ships sunk and cities ruined. "Is it not plain, then, that an abso- lute necessity exists for the modern fort to have a bomb proof roof? The facts I have presented are known to every careful student of military mat- ters. They are not theories ripe for explosion, but facts, the realization of which pannot come too soon." KILLED HIS MOTHER. In Bedford Township, seven miles frons Pomeroy, Ohio, on Saturday morning Mrs. Dina Wandling, a wid- ow, aged 79 years, went to the door of the house of her son. Silas R. Wand - ling, aged 45 years. and de/mended a piece of log chain, which she claimed belonged to her. The son lived on his mother's farm and there had been trouble between them. Wandling was sitting by a stove when his mother pushed the front door open and de- manded the log chain. He calmly arose took a single -barreled shotgun from a rack and slot her in the left breast and arm. He calmly placed the gun back and resumed warming his feet. Mrs. Wandling is dead.
