Do Von Use It ?
It`s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as ;:o man by taking
thought can add an inch to
QtatLire, so no preparation
:make Bair. The utmost
...t can be done is to pro -
.note conditions favorable to
growth. This is done b y
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
e ain its norma-. or
if you _ restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

A despatch from Simla says: — The
second brigade. of the Motivated pun-
itive fame, commended by tteneralJef-
freys, reached the foot of the Rawat
pass on Tuesday last. During the
night the British troops were attack-
ed by the enemy, who kept. up a heavy
fire for six hours. Lieutenants Tom-
kins and Ridley were killed. ,Lieuten-
ant Barrington was dangerously
wounded, two privates were killcd,and
five wounded. Twenty-five horses and
mules were also killed..
The garrison of Fast Gulistan
made a most gallant defence. The
enemy: appeared. before that place at
noon on Sunday last, and by one
o'clock the water ta.nks were filled,
end other preparations eons made to
resist a. siege. The garrison was com-
posed of 16:i i'ikiis, commanded by Ma-
jor Des Voeux and Lieut. Pratt. Sur-
geon Drell, Mrs. Des Voeux, her four
children and two nurses were also in
the fort. At four o'olook in the
afternoon the enemy closed around
the place to within ten yards of
the walls and, at times, rushed up
to them. The garrison repeatedly
repulsed tbe tribtsmeu at the point
of the bayonet, and there were
some remarkable exhibitions of brav-
ery.
A havilder (native sergeant), with
sixteen Sikhs, charged into the midst
of 300 tribesmen and captured three
standards. Another bavildar, with
ten inert rushed out to help the first
party when the latter was hard press-

When this was done, the garrison of
Fort Gulistan had been at their pests
for thirty csaisecutive hours- The
casualties of the British fnrees were

ed. The women of the garrison at-
tended the wounded under an unceai,-

It is reported that the Afridis and
Orakais have left the Santana terri-
tory for their homes.
The entire British lc•s; in the 'a-
mana operations. including that of
the garrison in Saragari. is 30 men kill-
ed and 59 men wounded. The number
of casualties among the officers is due
to the inen 1 eing entrenched while the

aexetsible position in the bills. and the
cavalry were obliged to return after
having suffered slight loss.
The correspondent of the Times at
Simla sats.—"The enemy who attack-
ed the force of Gen. Jeffreys at the

were net the Mohinands, but the Mo-
; mantis and the Sa:aazai tribtsaien, who

I eapport:ed by four guns of a mountain
j l,attery, and by six companies of the
I3uffs. The Sikhs drove the enemy into
the hills, but eventually fell back upon
the Buffs before superior numbers. The
enemy then advanced against the left
flank, drove back the cavalry, and, sur-
rounded a company of Sikhs. The
cavalry charged brilliantly, and reliev-
ed the Sikhs, and the Guides, coming
up, swept the enemy bark. The force
halted for some time., destroying the
enemy's towers, and then retired.
A oompan'y of Siklis on the hills to
the extreme right was hard pressed
and was running short: of ammunition
wh.em the general officer commanding
moved the Guides forward to their re-
lief, which was gallantly accomplish-
ed. The Guides carried the wounded
Sikhs back, alnd executed the with-
drawal in gond order, though the ene-
my pressed them hard. Darkness came
qn before the force reached the camp,
and the Guides, with General Jeffrey's
ado his escort of the. Buffs, became
separated from the column, which
passed them in the gloom. General
Jeffreys remained with the guns and
took up a position in a village. The
enemy had occupied a part of the vil-
lage, and the esccrt not being strong
enough to expel them, they had inflict-
ed considerable loss on the little party
before Major Wortledge, with two com-
panies, each composed of Sikhs and
Guides came upand compelled them
to retire. P A large body of cavalry and
the Thirty-eighth Dogras left the camp
and brought in the whole detachment.

INSANE AND INEBRIATES.
They Are nota itiercttaing In Loudon—
Di•uukenne•s Increasing lu Ail ('lasses
in tate City—Some Startling Statistics.
The report of the Asylums Commit-
teeof the London Cuunty Conn al
shows there has Leen an alarming in-
erease in lunacy during the last nine
years: and ess:eciaily iu London. While
the population of London is 14.59 of the
inhabitants of England, London's pro-
portion of insane persons is 19,87, Dr.
Cloye Shaw, an expert on the sub, t,
says:—"There is no doubt. that as
regards the future of lunacy, we are
doing all in our power not to stamp it
out, but to increase it." This is large-
ly due to the want of asylum accontmo-
dation, the technically cured being dis-
sha•rged before they are really cured,
anti thus adding further chances for
transmitting lunacy.
The inspector of inebriates in a re-
port just issued, contends that the
number of habitual drunkards in Eng-
lish soeiety is greatly under -estimated,
snit adds:—"Iznmedcrate drinking,
though faightfully common among the
industrial classes. is still more pre-
valent among the upper ten." It isatse
certain that among women of all (thes-
es drunkenness is increasing rapidly.
Out of 442 ca -es at the Dalrymple home
101 were university men, 31(1 were well
educated, 235 were married, and the
others were widuwers or la"he:ors. In
cases sociability caused the down-
fall, ill -health caused the downfall in
86 cases. and overwork caused the
downfall of 32, cases. In '55 per rent. of
the cases the excess was traceable to
predisposing hereditary indications..
NEGROES IN AFRICA.
As to a lltetnark of the Liberian Minister 10
England.
It is the opinion of the black Envoy
who represents the Government of the
African republic of Liberia at the court
of London that the "negro must give up
his dream of any such thing as a negro
empire in Africa." It was in a melan-
choly strain that Minister Blyden spoke
these words, which will doubtless be
regarded as justifiable. Yet it must
seem strange that never. in all time,
has any masterful negro, any negro Ne -
!edema or Charlemagne, made his ap- ,
I'earance in Afriea, brought under his
sway the detached tribes, some of which
are very sensible, and built up a strong
negro empire. Many a time'eertainty
within the past two or three thousand
years has there been a chance for such
a leader. Had there ever been any neg-
ro in Africa possessed of the conquering
genius. had there been suoh a one even
as recently as half a century ago, be
might have made himself the ruler of
a large part, if not of the greater part,
of the vast and populous African con-
tinent, set up an orderly government,
and left it to his successors.
A while ago, a good while, a negro
Napoleon might, perhaps, bave done
something of this kind; but it is now
too late to make this attempt. Europe
has seized the territory of Africa, and
no negro however great, could now ar-
ray Africa against Europe. The flags
of England and France and Germany
and Belgium and Portugal float over a
great part of the dark continent.
The ruling race in the Mediterranean
States of Africa are not negroes, nor
are they Egyptians, nor are trey Abys-
sinians. The victorious Menelek is of an-
other race of mankind. Men ordinarily
described as of the Arab race are pow-
erful in extensive regions of Africa and
have long been traders in negro slaves
there.
Nearly all the races of mankind have
produ••e l comprehensive conquerors in
the courses of the ages. How happens
it that the bellicose negro in Africa
has never done anything in this line?
The negro has usually proved his, pluck
when tried in battle. The black chief
Chalet was once called the " Na,poleon
of South Africu," but be never;instilled
the title. All other negro chiefs and
kings, when confronted bar Europeans,
have fallen before them. \et. the negro
reputation of the African continent is
estimated at over one hundred millions.
As to the introduction of civilization
among the negro population of Africa,
it is to be said that the results of it
will be better known a hundred years
hence than they can be within the pre-
sent generation.

At present the result of the strug-

RAILWAY MILEAGE OF THE WORLD.

The railway mileage of thisworid
has duriaig the last sixteen years in -
increased at an annual average rate of
14,000 miles, and non stands at about
440.000 miles, says the Pall Mall Ga-
zette. It will readily be inferred that
im regard to length of track, tbe
United States is an easy first. At the
end of last year it possessed 182,500
miles of steam railway, as compared
with 170,229 in 1894. Icor the whole
Amexican continent the total is ap-
proximately 230,370 miles, youth, Am-
erica. boasting a trifle in excess of
24.(00 miles, Canada and Newfoundland
16,230, and Mexico and Central Amer-
ica the rest—a matter of 7,640 miles.
In the whole of Europe there are
161,500 miles, Germany leading with
29,240 miles. France conning second

ten countries in which the State (does

ATTEMPT TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
The 'Work ore London Vestry—Everylloiise-
hold May in 1 ime Beconic Ifs that
Bacteria NNnrsery.
With the praiseworthy intention of
limiting the spread of infectious dis-
eases, the Vestry of St. Pancras, Lon-
cion, has set up a bacteria breeding
nursery.
To obtain occupants for its nova in-
cubators, a small metal box and two
circulars of instruction have been for-
warded to each medical man in the
district. The box contains two glass
phials—one for diphtheritic germs and
the other for those of typhoid. The
first has a metal rod. with a cotton
wool brush fitted into the plug, and
the second two slender glass tubes with
it bulb in each.
When the medical practitioner comes
across a case of supsected diphtheria
he collects some of the patient's sal-
iva by means of the rod, brush and
forwards it to the bacteriological de-
partment of the vestry, where it is
planted in a plot ot prepared vase-
line or glycerine so as to force the
germs to bud and thus prove the char-
acter of the complaint.
When typhoid fever is suspected it
is prescribed that the patient's finger
shall receive a Turkish bath all to
itself, sci as to insure surgical cleanli-
ness, and that the skin be pricked to
allow of a drop or two of blood being
drawn into the thin glass tubes by
capillary attraction The vestry guar-
antees to advise within twenty-four
hours, excepting on Sundays and
holidays, the exact nature of the dis-
ease,
DOCTORS NOT PLEASED.
;As yet these germ tubes have not
been distributed to other than medi-
cal men, but it is probably only a mat-
ter of time when they will be in every
household. The advantages of such an
arrangement should be invaluable. A
citizen awaking in the morningafter
the annual club social need no longer
be worried by his peculiar physical
symptoms, and imagine that the swol-
len state of his head indicates incip-
ient
ncip
ient hydrocephalus. He, with his
brother in suffering who has dined as
if there were no hereafter, may call_,A"---111 the vestry hall on his way tobusi-
ness, leave a few drops of blood and
drop in next morning to know wheth-
ermani'hes hkneas e. typhoid, gastritis or bouse-
An:- mixing up of the tubes at the
vestry might lead to serious compli-
cations, and Mr. Dotage, of eighty
summers, aright be informed thathis
blood contains germs of teething
troubles. while Mrs. Youngwife might
hear with horror that her year-old
babe is suffering from alcoholic poi-
soning,
• Several medical men of the district
do not approve of the vestry's action,
which, they say, wisp tend to reduce
scientific study to the plane oft auto-
matic mechanics.
One practitioner ss rites to the Lon-
don Daily mail in the following half
serious, half humorous vein
"Pity the sorrows of a strug-
gling doctor. It is difficult enough as
it is to get it living in our over-
crowded profession; but the fates are
determined to harass us further. It
is now announced that: specimens of
blood, saliva or any necessary secre-
tion may be taken to the vestry hall,
and the malady wilt be made known
in twenty-four ]yours—after propaga-
tion of the specific bacteria by me-
chanical means.
"Extend this principle and what
becomes of the noble science of medi-
' oine? Knowledgee and skill in treat-
' went will no longer be required, and o,
the art of the physician will become
lost in the investigations of the lab-
' oratory " •
