�(Tfldruff
lS
Dangerous
When dandruff appears it is usu-
ally regarded as an annoyance. It
should be regarded as a disease. Its
presence indicates an unhealthy con-
dition of Me scalp, which, if neg-
lected, leads to baldness. Dandruff
should be cured at once. The most
effective means for Me cure is found
in AYER'S HAIR VIGOR. It
promotes Me growth of the hair, re-
stores it when gray or faded to its
original color, and keeps the scalp
clean and healthy.
"For more than eight years I was greatly
troubled with dandruff, and though a young
roan, my hair was fast turning gray and fall-
ing out. Baldneas seemed
Inevitable until I began to
use

V(gor
The dandruff has been
entirely removed and my
hair is now soft, smooth
and glossy and fast re-
gaining its original color."

BABY SUPERSTITIONS,
An infant born with a heavy head of
*air is born to riches.
If you iron wrinkles into baby's clothes,
she will ory in her sleep.
Tho first time you kiss a new baby make
a wish, and it will come true.
Do not lot any ono cry over a young in-
fant. Tears bring it bad luck.
It is unlucky to show a child's outfit to
friends before the baby is born.
If an infant persists in kicking off hie
right sock, ho is born to good luck.
When a child is born on the growing of
the moon, the next ono will be of the sauuo
sox.
Place a needle in the hand of a newborn
girl baby, and she will grow up 0 fine
seamstress.
It is unlucky to be born on the water,
but lucky for the ship on which such a
birth occurs.
Place a bag of money under the bed
when a child Is born, and it will always
be above want.
When a boy baby is born, let hill, push
his feet against his father's breast, and he
can never corse to any bad end.

WELSH POETRY.
Some Specimens of the Ballads Written
by Lafydd ap Gwilym.
A glimpse of one form of Welsh verse,
Trlbnu, may be found In a translation of
some stanzas from Mr. Rhys' book of
"Welsh Ballads." These stanzas are trona
"The Song of the Graves," written by
Dafydd ap Gwilym:
In graves where drips the winter rain
Lie those that loved me most of men—
Ccrwyd, Oywrid, Caw, Ile slain.
In graves where the grass grows rank and tan
Lie, well avenged ere they did fall—
Gwrien, Mra•ien, MoriaL
In graves where drips the rain the dead
Lie, that not lightly bowed the head—
Gwrien, Gwen and Clwried.
Selthenn.'s lost mind sleeps by the shore
'Twist Cinran and the gray sea's roar,
Where Caer Cenedir starts up before.
In Abererch lies Bhyther' Hael,
Beneath the earth of Llan Morvael,
But Dwain ab Urien in lonelier seiL
Mid the dreary moor by the one oak tree,
The grave of stately Siawn may be—
Stately, treacherous and bitter was he.
Mid the salt sea marsh where the tides have
been
Lie the sweet maid Sanaw, the warrior Rhya
And Hennin's daughter, the pale Earwyn.
And this may the grave of Gwythur Le.
But who the world's great mystery,
The grave of Arthur, shall ever see?
The translation tacks, however, the
chief feature of the original composition,
for it
wasrig
w .,ten by Dafydd ap Gwilym
in fettered verse, called in the vernacular
"cynghanodd," an ingenious form of con-
so
so lauc
to the four and twenty
teeters of Welsh prosody—a feature that
the translator found unconvertible even if
ho understands the secret of such intricate
metrical construction, Dafydd ap Gwi-
lynt's best productions were hiscouplets—
cywyddau—and his lyrics and love songs,
which are standards of excellence in Welsh
poetry to this day.—New York Tribune.
GOLD AND CRIMSON TROUT,
A Unique Variety That, Has a Secluded
Abode Its Creek In Kansas.
"There are trout in Whitney Greer. z,
tributary of Kern river, in Kansas,'
a veterau Now York angler, "the like
which don't exist in any other water in
the race of the globe. These trout have
their abode in the upper waters of the
creek, and it is not invaded by any other
breeds of trout that swarm in the waters
below simply because they cannot get at
it. About six mitres from the head of
Whitney creek there is a waterfall 160 feet
high. Tho rock down the face of which
the water tumbles is solid and smooth
from base to summit. There are no pro-
truding ledges nor any hollows by means
of which the other trout, with leap after
leap from ledge to ledge and hollow to hol-
low, could scale this precipice, as they do
at thousands of high waterfalls elsewhere.
Consequently the trout above the falls
have never been disturbed by interlopers
of a different variety, and they live by
theniselvies in the pure, cold water, a most
splendid family of fresh water fish.
"Those trout are literally bespangled
with burnished gold and dashed with spots
of the brightest crimson. The first time I
ever saw one of these trout 1 actually
thought it had been decorated with flakes
of gold leaf by its possessor and that its
red spots had been heightened in color
with the brash. But this is their natural
ornamentation, and when they are taken
from the water and the sunlight strikes
them err th
ey glitter ands
sparkle like They are tailed the golden trout.
Their habits are the same as those of the
ordinary brook trout, with all its gamy
qualities. Their flesh has the same flavor.
Their splendid beauty is what places there
at the head of this great piscatorial fam-
ily, famous for its beauty. How this rare
variety of trout came to be alone in those
upper waters of Whitney creek is one of
nature's mysteries. "—New York Sun.
Some Theatrical Jokes.
In a performance of "The Lady of the
Lake" the actor who took the part of Rod-
erick Dhu was known to be in pecuniary
difficulties. When Roderick gave the line,
"I am Roderick Dhu," Fitzjamesrespond--
ed, "Yee, and your rent's due too." On
the production of a piece called "The Spy"
the early.aots showed that it was going to
prove a failure. So when at .a certain
point a character bad to rush on and shout,
"Five hundred pounds for the spy l" the
author -actor, who was concealed behind a
rook, arose and cried, "It's yours --copy-
. right, manuscript and parts I" That was
the end pf the performance.
When eating takes place on the stage,
the temptations to play tricks with the
food are naturally great. In "Henry V"
the leek which that inimitable braggart'
Pistol has to eat is usually made from an
apple. fiut on one occasion at Sadler's
Wells the Fluellen of the evening gave him
a real onion, and he had no choice but titstruggle through it, though the tears
coursed down his fat oheeka.—Cornhill
Magazine.
The No Grog Law.,

THfi SECRET OF GOOD LOOKS.
A Good Complexion Will Make w Person
of Ordinary Features Beautiful.
"As a rule, worsen wash their faces too
frequently," says Euphemia Woods in
"How to Have a Fine Complexion" in
The Woman's Horne Companion.
"It is far from being the best way to
Olean the face, more especially where rain-
water cannot be procured. That may be
used quite frequently, but soap should not
be applied oftener than three times a
week. Pure, imported oastile soap, such
as surgeons use, should be given the pref-
erence. Use it at night only and with hot
water; then rinse the face with clear, cold
water. In the morning cold water should
be used in preference to hot. It you do
not have rainwater, throw a pinch of
powdered borax into the washbowl, but
use it sparingly if your skin is more alka-
line than acid. You can discover this by
wiping your faoa with litmus paper when
you are perspiring. Blue litmus paper
turns red when it touches an sold, and the
red paper turns blue when eiposed to as
alkali. On no account must you use soap
on your face except with rainwater. Soap
in hard water forms a Boum whioh, even
though quite invisible, clogs the pores, of-
ten causing pimples and blackheads and
always giving the skin a faded appear -
once. Throw away powders, washes,
pomades, lotions of every description.
'Without doubt there are some very good
preparations on the market, but how are
you to know that you are using the one
that bests suite is your skint A akin that is
distinctly acid requires very different ,
preparations from one that is alkaline.
"It is not generally known that itis the
action of the sun on the natural
oils of
the skin that causes tan and sunburn. If
a healthy woman could keep this oil wiped
off as it accumulates, she might always
have a pretty complexion, provided so
much friction did not irritate the akin.
One reason why the skin on the body is so
much nicer than that on the face is that
the clothing supplies the friction necessary
to keep the pores of the akin from clog-
ging. Finally, if you want a nice com-
plexion, you must take plenty of sleep in
a well ventilated room, stop worrying,
hese.. Leiquently and perspire a little ev-
da; No lotion la hatter than perspi-
Nia.,on, out it must not be allowed to dry
'a the skin."
A business man is not the most patient
creature in the world. He cannot wait to
hear any long drawn out story of the cause
of his ailment. He doesn't care two strays
about a fine spun theory of how he shonld
treat himself. He may be predisposed to
scrofula or consumption, "That," he will
tell you, "has nothing to do with the case."
He wants to be well. If he can be cured
write oat a prescription and send in your
bill. So, here's the first part of the propo-
sition.
Dr Pierce's G''lden Medical Discovery is
a microbe hunter and killer. Many per-
sons of scrofulous blood encourage the
breaking out of unsightly sores to prevent
the disease from going to the lunge. There
is no need of this state o; dread and die•
comfort. Purify the blood. It can be
done. "Golden Medical Discovery" will
cure 118 per cent of all consumptive cases,
also of all other lingering bronchial, throat
and lung diseases.

A FRONTIER FIGHT.
How Jim Bowie's Band of Eight Stood
OR Five Hundred Comanches.
In Texas James•Bowfe set his hand to
another sort of fighting. In 1881, witb
his brother Rezin, six other men and a
boy, he set out upon a trading and captor
ing expedition through the heart of the
Comanche country. At six days' travel
from possible succor he found his party
assailed by 600 mounted warriors, Co
manches all, who rode like the wind, ye
shot with deadly airn. Resistance seetne
hopeless in the face ofdds so great
Bowie took the one despe.i� t chance lef
him and won the game.
He divided his forces, stationing thre
in one skirt of woods, with the pack an
mals, and scattering the rest about a mor
considerable arborage. Each was full
armed—had rifle, knife and pistols. Pow
der and lead were plenty; also wherewitha
to eat and drink. Each grove hail a spring
in it. Close about the waters the white
men lay or crouched, resolved, "if they
must die, to take at least 100 redskins
with them,"
Five days the fight went on. Swooping
in clouds, the red riders dashed round,
round, ever nearing the devoted rearks
men and sending toward theme it tea1.
ring flight arrows and bullets ?hints, triage
hail. But the wheeling ended in resit -
when it came within fair rifle range. `fhb
men crouching in cover made every mis-
sile tell.
Men and horses went down in
struggling heaps at the sharp crack of
their weapons, and they were so swift to
load and fire that the chiefs easily persuad-
ed themselves their enemy was a hundred
strong. But the attacking went on until
threescore braves were dead and as many
more disabled, to say nothing of the
ponies. Bowie had one man dead, whom
he buried reverently; one desperately
wounded, whom he took away to safety,
all hough the attempt appeared to promise

A Prominent Physician.
A prominent New York physician
in discussing the merits of Ripans
Tabules with a brother M. D. said :
" Several years ago I asserted that
if one wished to become a phflan-
thopist, and do a beneficent deed—
one that would help the whole hu.
man race—nothing could be better
than to procure the Roosevelt Hos-
pital prescription, which is the basis
of the Ripans Tabules, and cause it to
be put up in the form of a ketchu
and distributed among the poor."
Sales Increasing.
The largest retail drug store in
America is that of Hegeman & Co.
on Broadway in Now York City.
A reporter who went there to learn
how Ripans Tab-
ules were selling
bought a f no cent
carton and asked:
"Do you have
much call for
these ? "
He was referred
to agentleman who
proved to be the
head of the depart-
ment. He said:
" The sale of Ripans Tabules is
constant and is increasing, due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation of friend to
friend. Satisfaction with them is
very general. When once they are
begun I notice that a permanent
customer for them is made. This, 1
believe, is through their intrinsic
merit, which proves the bona fide
character of the advertising. I think
them specially useful in the general
Ma of stomach troubles."

lore of her case : "1 had always
employed a physician and did so on
the last occasion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no beneficial
results. I had never had any faith
in patent medicines, but having seen
Ripens Tabules recommended very
highly in the New York Herald con-
cluded to give them a trial, and
found they were just what my case
demanded. I have never employed
a physician since, and that means a
saving of $2 a call.
A dollar's worth of
Ripans Tabules
lasts me a month,
and I would not be
without then, now
if it were my last
dollar." At the
time of this inter-
view there were
present two do a p h-
ters who specially
objected to their mother giving a
testimonial which should parade her
name in the newspapers, but to do
this the elder lady availed : "There
may bo other cases just like mine,
and I am sure I take great pleasure
in recommending the Tabules to any
one afflicted as I was. If the to 1'
about my case in the papers er
some other person similarly, t,t.
to be as greatly benefited Os I hilae
been, Isee noobject ion ." The de ugh-
ters, knowing how earn,'I1 r she fait
about the benefit she Matt received, ,t
decided she was quite right.
