Is your hair dry, harsh, and brittle? Is it fading or
turning gray? Is it falling out? Does dandruff trouble
you? For any or all of these conditions there is an infallible
remedy in Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor.
"For years, I was troubled with dandruff, large flakes
scaling and falling off, causing great annoyance. Sometimes
the itching of the scalp was almost unendurable. Prescrip
tions from eminent physicians, put up in my own drug store
were tried, but failed to afford relief. At length 1 used Dr.
Ayer's Hair Vigor, and in one week I found it helped me.
At the' end of only two weeks, my head was entirely
free from dandruff, and as clean as a child's. 1 heartily
recommend Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor to all who are suffering
from diseases of the scalp." Edwin Noedsteom, Drugs, etc.

Thla Ulk of war we're harm' now re
minds me of the fun
Borne of us thought that war wouM be,
back there In '61:
The woods were fuU of feUowa then who
hollered day and nlffat.
And tried to make the folks believe tnr
fairly ached to tight.
But when good rather Abraham sent out
his call for men
The fellows that had screeched before
were mighty quiet then.
I never heard of Grant or Mead or Bher-
Idan before
The time arrived for men to act tm
streams were red with gore;
I never beard of any of tha men who rose
to fame
Through gallant flghtln' then, until the
time .for action came.
I guess the Shermans and the Grants had
nothing much to say
Before the day had come for men to
plunge Into the fray.
Now there was Ebenexer Webb, who lived
In our town;
I tell you be knew bow to put the worst
rebellion down!
For months and months before the time
to shoulder muskets came
He fairly bowled for war. and swore his
soul was all aflame:
But when that dismal day arrived that
men were called to go
The folks were shocked to hear that Eb
had lost his little toe.
My cousin Cyrus, too, was fierce before
the war began;
He ripped and tore" and carried on like a
crasy man;
He'd hang arottnd the grocery store and
tell what he would do
If he was In Abe Lincoln's place end
folks believed him, too.
And cheered the things he said, until the
time for flghtln' came
Then, by the great Jerusha, Cy pretend
ed he was lame!
The only man from our town who won a
pair of stars
Was Henry Gray, who never claimed te
be a son of Mars:
He'd merely stood around, without a
warlike word to say.
But when they wanted men to fight he
boldly marched away!

Enemy's Property at Sea.
It is still the custom in war to seize
the private property of the enemy at
sea when it is carried under the ene
my's flag. The squadron off Cuba hare
captured several Spanish merchantmen,
loaded with Spanish goods, which 'are
held as prizes for the profit of the crews
and officers making the captures.
Making war In this way la cot ap
proved by many people. To be sure,
plausible arguments in Its favor can be
presented. Destroy an enemy's wealth
snd you sap his strength without blood
shed and he must the sooner beg for
peace. If his goods are not captured
the money they represent may be used
to prolong the war. But such argu
ments have lost In force since priva
teering was abolished and a neutral
'flag was conceded to protect an ene
my's goods, except contraband. Be
cause of these advances It rarely hap
pens that the result of a war can be
affected by seizing private property at
sea.
Hence, the arguments against this
practice now have greater force. On
land private property, not contraband,
Is exempt from confiscation under or
dinary conditions. Why should not
private property at sea be exempt also?
True, a war cannot be fought with rose
water, yet If a practice be unessential
to the successful conduct of a war. It
should be abandoned in the interest of
humanity. This practice, moreover, en
courages war-making for prize money
and thus fosters the debasing idea that
war may be turned to a man's pecuni
ary advantage.
The exemption from capture of pri
vate property at sea, except contraband,
is favored by the leading writers on
International law. The United States
and Prussia in 1785, and the United
States and Italy In 1871, embodied it In
treaties. Secretary of State J. Q. Adams
in 1823 tried to have Russia, France
and England recognize the doctrine. In
1856 our government proposed It as
part of the declaration of Paris. Aus
tria, Prussia and Italy fought their war
In 1866 In accord with It. Prussia, In
the war of 1870, offered to respect it if
France would do so. Why is the prin
ciple not yet established?
Self-interest Is the main cause. Noth
ing can become part of international
law without the sanction of Russia,
France and England, and they evident
ly believe that commerce-destroying
might be a useful weapon in their fu
ture wars. The failure of the United
States, despite Its traditions, to recog
nize the principle in the Spanish war
1b regretted by many enlightened citi
zens. Tho Spirit of Patriotism.
No sooner was war declared than
America gave the world a glorious
demonstration of her unity and patriot
ism. Only a generation ago our land
was emerging from a furious civil war,
yet today one section is as devoted as
another to the flag. All are southern
ers, all northerners. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
has become a "Yankee." "Dewey's
victory" made the south radiant with
Joy.
The president's call for volunteers
was answered many times over in the
number of men who wanted to enlist.
No state, north or south, failed to pro
vide its quota, while spontaneous offers
of regiments from many independent
sources have had to be declined by the
government. In the mill, the office
and the shop, on. the farm and in the
college, our young men gave a mighty
answer to the nation's call to arms.
Everywhere the purpose to support
the government was displayed. Men of
means gave their yachts to be trans
formed into vessels of war. A patriotic
millionaire offered to equip a regiment
at his own expense. Another million
aire, a lady, has given SlOO.ioO to the
nation for the prosecution of the strug
gle with Spain.
The people. Irrespective of personal
fortunes, have shown their willingness
lo bear without complaint the Increased
taxation needed to pay the enormous
cost of naval and military operations.
Prices have risen on many necessaries
or Hie, yet there has been bo grumbling
among the poor. Corporations, often
called "soulless," in many Instances
have offered to keep places, at full or
half pay. for employes who volunteered
for the war.
The spirit of patriotism has thrilled
the soul of the people. Lore of coun
try has brought Into closer touch 70.
000.000 of men. women and children. A
great emotion in common was worth a
sacrifice. It Is one of the few
pensations of war.

Friends, ansa and women have always

fallen into the way as she once re
marked of 'taking her rights, without
finding ft necessary to argue about

showed a competence and natural au
thority greater thaa that of most of
the men who served with her.
Mrs. Gibbons' handwriting was pe
culiarly firm and strong, suggesting a
man's hand rather than a woman's. As
a consequence, she frequently received
letters addressed "My dear sir" In re
ply to communications which she had
signed with her initials and surname
only.
Moreover, to her great amusement,
she was several times, as a citizen and

This opportunity to "take" a right
she always let slip; but once, pursued
by an Imperative demand In the name

her reluctance to range herself with

A BesrimeatTfcat Weat te Battle Uaanaee
From the Memphis Commercial Ap
peal: While they were in camp, be
fore the battle of Murfreesboro, the
Forty-fourth Mississippi regiment,
more familiarly known among the men
as Blythe's brigade, was separated from
the camp on account of the measles. In
order to equip recruits, that were con
stantly coming In. with the sorely need
ed guns, the Forty-fourth was practi
cally disarmed, the Intention being to
arm them later with guns expected from
the rear. About this time the federals
began the movement from Nashville
which brought on the celebrated battle
at Murfreesboro, and when the brigade
was ordered Into position an effort was
hastily made to arm-the Forty-fourth,
who had now recovered their health,
with the old smooth-bore muskets.
These the regiment flatly declined to
have, and were then told that they
would have to go Into the fight without
arms. This they did, and when the or
der to charge was given went yelling
and bare-headed across the field, but as
soon as a'fallen foe or friend, either
was spied he was promptly relieved of
his gun and accoutrements. So that by
the time the battle was over the men
wre nearly all well armed with new
Springfield rifles.
Be'ays fee Deservtag; Feasts Cases.
It is not often that a deserving pen
sion esse Is overlooked, but, according
to the following letter addressed to the
editor of this department, this seems to
be an exception: "Alfred M. Atklseon,
drawing a pension of S12 per month for
injuries received during the civil war
while serving In Sixth regiment, com
pany I, Kansas cavalry, died at Dale,
Ok.. May 13, 1895, leaving a widow and
four minor children, two under 16 years
of age. His widow, Mrs. Margaret E.
Atklseon, applied for a pension Imme
diately under the old law, which did not
entitle her to a pension unless her-husband
died from the same cause for
which he was drawing a pension. She
did not know of her error until a year
or so later, when she applied under the
new law, claim 614,789. this claim
was referred to a special examiner in
July, 1897, since which time nothing
has been heard of it." And the corre
spondent thinks that the poor widow
has been forgotten. We hope not, for
the case Is a deserving one.
Patriotic Barber la Maine.
A barber of Lubec, Me., has closed
his shop and posted the following no
tice on the door:
"To the Public: This barber shop
will be closed for a brief period, as
the proprietor has gone to help a few
of Uncle Sam's barbers (better known
as soldiers) scrape the face of the
western hemisphere clear of an ob
noxious growth of whiskers, commonly
called Spaniards. I shall not be gone
long, as Dewey snd Sampson are ap
plying the lather and everything points
to a quick job and a clean one. And
I-wish to thank the public for past pa
tronage and on my return hope to have

containing a pad and pencil, brandy
and other restoratives. If the soldier
be not too severely wounded he writes
his name on the paper, which is re
turned to the case. The dog hastens
for help, and he who might have been
lost to his comrades Is rescued.

In a report to the state department
Mr. Du Bois, United States Consul
General at St. Gall, Switzerland, makes
some Interesting disclosures regarding
the general nee of horseflesh as aa ar
ticle of food In Europe. He says the
Swiss press Is giving considerable at
tention to the following statement:
"An American horse meat company
has been organized in Kearny, N. Y.,
whose object Is to prepare horse meat
for the European market in the form
of sugar-cured horse hams, smoked
horse tenderloins, pickled horse ribs
and salted horseflesh. This meat will
be sent In boxes marked distinctly
horse meat,' and each shipment Is to
be carefully Inspected and accompan
ied by a certificate that It is pure horse
meat and In a wholesome condition."
Mr. Du Bois comments on this state
ment as follows: "I cannot And aay
town by the name of Kearney In the
state of New York, and the item looks
like one of the kind that the European
journals, jealous of American trade,
take pleasure in circulating. But
whether there is truth in this report or
not, there is certainly a demand for
good, wholesome horse meat in some
of the markets of Europe. In many of
the towns are to be found well-stocked
markets where nothing but horse meat
Is sold fresh, salted, smoked and In
sausage form. The prices range from
5 cents to 8 cents per pound, according
to cut. and a large amount of this meat
Is purchased by the poorer classes. The
horses used are old ones, or those kill
ed by accident The people who buy
this meat claim that they prefer it to
the tough cow meat that Is sold for
from 8 to 12 cents per pound. It Is
sweeter, more tender and quite as
wholesome, according to their state
ments. The shops where horse meat
Is sold always have a "horse meat mar
ket" sign conspicuously displayed, so
that no deception is possible. If the
purchaser buys horse meat and eats -t,
he does so knowingly. In this respect
the municipal Inspection Is thorough.
A butcher licensed to sell beef, If found
selling horse meat, would be severely
and promptly punished."
Gradually we are shaking off the
yoke of superstition. We have regard
ed It as almost sinful to eat the flesh
of the horse, but we eat the flesh of the
hog without thought. The food of the
horse Is always clean grain and bay,
food clean enough to put into our own
mouths could we but digest it. while
the food of the hog is swill and scav
enger food quite generally. There is
no reason why we should not make a
practice of shipping horse flesh to for
eign countries If they desire it, and de
sire it they do. If we could work off a
few hundred thousand poorly bred
horses in this way It would be a good
thing for the American farmer, even
If he had to sell them without profit
?40t much financial gain could be ex
pected, but to dispose of them for
something would be better than shoot
ing them and leaving them to the
crows. It has been a frequent occur
rence to shoot even young horses when
they could not be sold. We remember
of one man that a few years ago ship
ped a carload of horses to the Kansas
City market They did not bring the
freight and he was lamenting that he
had not taken them out into the back
lot and shot and buried them. Poorly
bred horses should be disposed of at
the first opportunity.
Whitewash Spray. A farmer la
Iowa tried the plan of spraying his
peach trees in the winter with common
whitewash, to save the buds, as was
advised by the Missouri Experiment
Station. Having eight trees in a
bunch, he sprayed four of them as di
rected, four times each. Two were
sprayed twice, and two were not spray
ed at all. He now reports to a Missouri
paper that the four are bouquets of
bloom. The two sprayed but twice are
not as full, and those not sprayed at
all have scarcely a bloom on them. He
says he will spray them all hereafter.
We think he may find that those spray
ed twice will set as much fruit as he
should allow them to bear, but it is
better to have to thin out some than
not to have any. "A surplus is easier
to handle than a deficit," said a former
mayor of New York city. Ex.
Rich Soil of Cuba. The state de
partment has jus? issued a timely and
interesting report from our late con
sul at Santiago de Cuba. The island's
area, he says, about equals the state
of Pennsylvania, and its productive
soil, mineral wealth and climatic con
ditions entitle It to rank among the
foremost communities of the world.
The soil 1b a marvel of richness, and
fertilizers are seldom used, unless in
the growth of tobacco, even though the
same crops are grown on the same
land for a hundred years, as has hap
pened in some of the old sugar cane
fields. The mountains are of coral for
mation, but much of the lowland seems
to be composed largely of fossils of sea
matter from pre-hlstoric times, and is
thus extremely rich in lime and phos
phate. Setting Turkey Hens. When setting
a turkey hen, put tobacco stems at bot
tom of nest. Dust the nest and hen well
with insect powder, pouring some lice

outside, but do not put it on the nest

would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went ow
until last October. I felt snmMhiM
Ltcrrible creeping over me, I knew not

hardly explain my feelings nt that
time. I was so depressed In spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys

sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
"Indeed, I thought I would lose my

cured by Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegeta

and felt better after the first dose. "I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
