Helled on Bn^j ei's Obstinacy. A London paper says that General Buller was once In company with Lord Charles Beresford coming down the Nile, and as their boat approached the first cataract a sharp discussion arcse as to which was the proper channel to take. The soldier advised one, the sail another, but in the end Buller's channel was followed, with perfect suc cess. “You see, I was right,” the gen eral exclaimed, exultantly. “What of that?” retorted Beresford; “I knew it was the right one myself, and I only recommended the other because I knew you would oppose whatever I said.” I Look I 25 Years Younger HBWMDfHHNMMHMnMRrt •• I am now seventy-two years of age and my hair is as dark as it was twenty-five years ago.

A certain lawyer was a candidate for municipal honors recently, says the Cardiff Western Mail. While out can vassing he knocked at a cottage door. The door was opened by a woman, “Is your husband In, Mrs. -?” inquired the lawyer. “No, sir," was the reply; “but 1 know what you want. My hus band is sure to vote for you, because you got him off for stealing that ham last week.” “No, no; alleged stealing of the ham.” corrected the lawyer. “Al leged, be blowcd!” was the woman’s smiling reply.

The memory of man runneth not back of the time when seaport towns and cities did not exist, thrive and flourish. There is a new and promis ing one growing up down south which bids fair to soon enjoy .great commerce. It is La Porte, at the head of Gal veston Bay on the gulf coast of Texas. A magnificent natural land-locked harbor already exists and extensive docks, wharfs and terminals are being constructed. The government is to deepen Galveston Bay, affording a 26-. foot channel into the splendid fresh water harbor bay of San Jacinto. As Newport News is to the Atlantic coast, and Duluth and Superior are to the inland seas, so La Porte is to be to the south. Between friends frequent reproof makes the friendship distant.

That the backbone ol the army’s power in France was broken by the trial of Dreyfus is shown in the reor ganization of the French colonies in West Africa. Therein the civil author ities have triumphed. A portion of the Soudan is to be joined to each of the four contiguous colonies and what remains is to be divided Into two mil itary districts, but the whole region will be under the control of a govern or general, whose powers will be equal to those of the viceroy in India, and whose headquarters will be St. Louis, the capital of Senegal.

Save Your Hair with Shampoos of And light dressings of CUTICURA, purest of emollient skin cures. This treatment at once stops falling hair, removes crusts, scales, and dandruff, soothes irritated, itching surfaces, stimulates the hair follicles, supplies the roots with energy and nourishment, and makes the hair grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy scalp when all else fails. Millions of Women Use Cuticcra So a i* exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stop ping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing, red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and dialings, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weak nesses, aud for many antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have one© used it to use any other, especially for preserving aud purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Cuticcra Soar combines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticcra, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients, and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for pre serving, purifyiug, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, Is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it com bines, in One Soap at One Price, viz., Twenty-five Cents, the best ■kin and complexion soap, the best toilet and best baby soap in the world. All that hxs been said of Cutioura Soap may be said with even greater emphasis of Cuticcra Ointment, the most delicate, and yet most effective of emollients, and greatest of .skin cures. Its use in connection with Cuiiccra Soap (as per directions around each package), in ttia “One Night Cure for Sore Hands,” in the « instant It ai.irk Treatment for Disfiguring Itchings and Irritations,’* and in many uses too numerous to mention, is sufficient to prove its superiority over all otlur preparations for the skin.
