HAIR V So roany Ser so n s ave hair that is stubborn and dull. It won't row. hat's the reason? Hair needs help just as anything else does at times. The roots re quire feeding. When hair stops growing it fi loses its lus ter. It looks dead. ?3 r t HM ri visor acts almost instantly on such hair. It awakens new life in the hair bulbs. The effect is astonishing. Your hair grows, be comes thicker, and all dandruff is removed. And the original color of early fife is restored to faded or gray hair. This is always the case. $1.00 a bottle AI! druggists.

Calneh, or Ancient Nippur, where ex cavations by the University of Penn sylvania are now being made, lies at tiic bottom of a great sand dune In , Mesopotamia-that ls, ancient Baby lonia, and today-1900-& party of archaelogists Is delving through the debris of 7,000 years for the records that were, made contemporaneous to old-time reckoning of the deluge. From the marshy plain surrounding Calneh the sand dune looks like the key to the beginnings of history. Standing amid a clump of Arab mud huts where "the horses are still of native strain, and the men- still use matchlocks In laid with Arabesques, one might figure a mighty whirlwind of the desert until it could carry 119 more and collapsing, finally, on the site of the ancient city. But In that huge mound are tunnels leading In and down, and deep rifts and pits and projecting walls of ancient cities, and platforms of baked clay, and stone stairways up which to-day hun dreds of Arab porters are carrying bas kets of sand. From the summit of the pOe one can;look afar off.to the sun just gleaming above the horizon of the twentieth century, and then walk slow ly down toward the beginnings of civil ization. Walk as slowly as you may, and at the first dozen steps of descent you have passed the level bf the Chris tian era. The baked clay to the right of you was placed -there by ABhurba napaL king more then 600 voars be fore Christ. A few steps further and at your feet are the markings of Kadashman-Turgu 1400 B, C Down again, further, and you are walking ??,1 a platform laid In the time of Ur Gur centuries before Abraham, the .founder of the-Jewish nation, was born. Down, still further down, only a few feet, and: you aie standing on the temple platform laid by Sargon I. and Narlm Sin, 3800 B. C.-Sargon whose existence even Biblical scholars have said was mythical-Sargon, whose name, nevertheless, ls stamped in every brick. Finally, through a hole broken In this platform, you may look down past thirty feet of debris to the site of ancient Nippur or Oalneh and see the fragments of arches, sacrificial urns and altars built at least 4,500 B. C. The Septuagint, written 250 B. C., places the creation of the- world at tibout 5,500; and with this in mind, it -is difficult in the nineteenth century to gaze upon these evidences of man's handiwork and realize that the work men lived more than 7,000 years ago. '?And yet this ls by no means the strang est feature, for the records of these workmen show that they lived not 'within a comparatively few generations 'of the beginning of the world, but that they were part of a civilization as high ly developed as that of the Greeks; that men carried on the business of life in a manner and with ambitions and desires not very different from those of our time, and that, most re markable of all, this state of affairs had then been going on for many thou sands of years. Evidence of all this -ls found stamped on the tablets and vases which are being unearthed to day from the ruins of Calneh. It ls a wonderful story, which probably has a more important bearing on the be ginning and end of human life than anything else recently discovered. Ainslee's Magazine. A Novel Railway.

White Wool Skins for Sommer Wear. White wool skirts will bo fashion ably worn all summer, both with matching Etona or with shirt waists of ?ilk, linen, lawn, foulard, etc. White cloth vicunn, drap d'ete, and similar soft, fleecy wools are, of course, the handsomest selection, but they are also tbe most -likely to show every spot, wriuklo or other blemish. Tbe best, even if not the prettiest choice, is white mohair or alpaca, which fni T?OS are still ia vogue. The new weaves aro so plia blo that they len?! themselves readily to all the requirements of present fashions. For day wear, they are mado up in simple tailor style, and prove more serviceable than any ot uer of the white wools, for they shed dust, and do not oasily wrinkle or spot. For eviniug they are combined with white penn do soio, satin broca.le, lib erty satin or ?iowerod taffeta, . Car? of tho Eye?. "The large number of spectacled adults seen everywhere nt tho present time indicates that some common and far reaching cause is at work to pro duco defective vision," says Dr. Eliza M. Musher in the Interchange. "Jt is ~ot nee Ifni to go beyond the homo aud the school to find this cause. In sufficient nourishment during tho years of growth and development; bad air in sleeping rooms, tho use of tho eyes with the light directly iu front of them in study at home; hang ing the head over books and thus pro duciug more or less pnssive conges tion of the eye regiou; overuse in near work and failure to rest tho oye3 by often fixing them upon objects far distant; bad postures in soho:>l-these aud many other conditions which af fect children unfavorably during their school life appeat to be predisposing causes of eye defects. All these might be obauged if parents and teachers and those who build and equip school houses would work together with that object in view. The eyes of school children should be tested from time to time to ascertain their condition and needs." Cultivate n Sweet Voice. Kino? hearts are more plentiful than persistently kind and gentle voices, and yet love loses much of its power when the voico is hard and sharp. rTry, therefore, most earnestly,, to acouire the right tone in speaking, and gnard yourself carefully from falling into careless and bad habits of voice. Often a sharp voice shows more ill will than the heart feels, bat people) do not know that her ."bark is worse than her bite," and they beliove her to be ill-tempered and disagreeable. It is BO easy to pick np a sharp and snappish manner of speaking. Very often it is. acquired ia mirth, and in the give aud take battles of words ia whioh boys and girls delight. There is no malice in their sallies and it is a great deal of fun, but, meanwhile, the voice is often acquiring a sharp and shrewish tone which sticks through life, making it stir np strife and ill will among its listeners. So watch the tone in which you speak, and take care that it is gentle ?nd sweet. A kind voice is like music in the home, aud is to the heart what light aud beauty are to the eye. Women a? Artists. In "a letter to artists," addressed , especially to those of her owa sex, iona Lea Merritt sayB: "The only xmiplaint we have in Ei?glaud, nud . ive never speak of it, is that" no one of is has been elected to the Academy, , >ven in an honorary degree, but whou i lady comes whose art is unrnistak- , ibly deserviug of Hie distinction, I do lot believe it will bj withheld." Hhe , tccounts somewhat for the inequality )f womeu's work by untoward domes? ic incidents. Some near relative may ? >e ill, and a woman will give her caro ] ?ud thought where a man would uot 1 Iream of so-doing, where no ono 1 vould expect it of him. "But although women may harden I heir hearts to triviul duties ami do- 1 neStic cares, tboy so far make thom- 8 elves uufeminine, and 'their work c rill loose tho charm which belongs to ' heir nature and which ought to be a ts distinction.' One of the chief ob tades to woman's success lies in the act that she has no wife to 'darn the tookings, keep the house, write the s etters, make visits, ward off intrnd- r irs, be personally suggestive of beau iful pictures and always an encour- c ging and partial critic' "-Lippiu- c ott's Magazine. Madam and the Little Jonberts. To the mere non-military woman he moRt interesting paris of the Jou >ert obituaries and eulogies that filled ? he foreign papers after the Boer com candor's death were the accounts of dme. Jonbert. This soldier's wife 8 ras a wonderful woman. She not 8 >nly wont to war with, her husband, ?ut she found time to educate her t hildren in music, French and Eng- i ish. They are as pretty and well be layed as they ate clever, and when j. taying at a Gape Town hotel with ^ heir father and mother a few months go were vhe pets of all the English ;nests in the house. The widow of ^ he Boer general is a soldier's daugh- v or, and has known much of war's lar ms since her earliest childhood. v the knowe all about firearms, has an a x ten sive knowledge of Kaffir warfare, nd hor advice has often been acted o pon by her husband, plans of cam- t laign being freely discussed over her ?inner table. Daring the Magato- " and campaign she, notwithstanding , be heat-over 100 degrees in the ' hade-and the fever, joined the gen ral a week or two ufter his arrival, at- ri ended only by two or three little | I vaffir maids. Finding General Jon- c lert in anything but a comfortable ? ent, she took it down, erected a tont o t her own and installed him amid all he comforts of home. What was lore, she constructed the general's less arrangements and cooked his*, s ?eals with her own hands. i v Health or College Girl?. fl The ignorance of the laws of health h rith which many girls arrive at col- o 9ge almost equals their ignorance of ti iteratnre. They work out their own ?i alvation in this respect, ns in other ? natters, and sometimes suffer in thr A .roces*. Bat as a mle the health of t he girls improve in coll?ge? They generally gain in weight, tbe regular life is a benefit, and the freedom ac corded to the student allows of an adjustment of hours to the individual which gives less strain than the more iron rules of school. Aud in spite of tbe fact that college has a peculiar at traction for girls whose nervous tem perament or delicate organization is i l -lit ted to cope with ita conditions, the health oven of these girls often compares not unfavorably with that of the maidens similarly organized who go into society or stay inertly at home. Hysterical tendencies are often con quered in college occupation and re sponsibility and intelligent compre hension of the effort to be made prov ing a great help. The health of the larger orgauism, college life, needs readjustment from time to time. It also bas its nerves, its defects of circulation, a touch of fever now and theD. It needs air and good sense ; fortunately theso rem edies are not far to seek. When thiugs have gone too far in one direc t on there is au eiibrt made to strike a balance; they are not left inertly to ofl'ects of i diction. The power of the student.-? to reason as a body is a good testimony to the training of the in dividuals.-Now Lippincott's. The N'o west Skin?. Tbe latest nows from Paris is rather startling as regards skirts. After hav ing been told that the close fitting habit skirts were to be fashiouablo no longer, aud that only skirts with back breadths gathered or laid in single, double or triple box pleats were to be worn, some of the gowns that have been seeu have had plain backs, and many of tho new costumes showu for summer are a Isp BO provided. Where the entire back is net plain and the skirt has a deep apron yoke in front, the yoke at the back will be narrow, and the effect will be quite plain, with no fullness at all directly in the back of over the hips. The habit skirtB of last season were not, however, cut quite as are these skirts, the latter having more fnlness, which begins, too, nearor the belt at the back. The truth of tho matter is that the more successful dressmakers do not follow slavishly any very marked fashion, but take some pretty design and modify it or improve upon it, to snit the woarer, and in this way the gown is not simply a reproduc tion, to the exact line, of a style that fashion has dictated as correct. At a recent entertainment at which a num ber of new gowns were worn, no less than five distinct styles of skirts were seen, aliko only in that they all fitted close around the hips, were full at the back and very wido round the foot, with ruffles aud flounces and pleatings iuside as well as out, giving a finished look to the bottom of tho skirt. Ma chine stitching is still a favorite trim ming for heavier weight of materials, while lace, embroidery and open work chenille net are used on the lighter fabrics like silk and mousseline do soie.-Harper's Bnzar. Thin Bummer** Fan. An exquisite fan sent as a wedding present to a recent bride has a uuique design, showing a troupe of Pierrots learning to guide the automobile. Miniature paintings scattered over the the /ace of the open fan show Pierrot cautiously examining the steering ap paratus of the horseless carriage; rat tling down hill at a breakneck pace and clinging to the brake in terror; standing on his head at the bottom oi the hill; running after his automobile; and, finally, spinning along in style, wearing blue goggles and big coat and smiling fondly on the fair Pierrette nt his side.

A French inventor says that he has solved the problem of sending a num ber of dispatches simultaneously ou a ?ingle wire.

Twelve independent currents were sent ou the circuit nt once in either direction, making a total of 24 telegrams. The public library building in Chi cago is protected against the invasion of fire from the outside by means of a so-called "w ater curtain." At the top of tho building is a system, of tubes through which water, supplied from n tank, can be caused to flow over the outside walls. Recently the e'Bcicncy of the wnter curtain waa tested by the occurrence of a firo in a large spice mill adjoining the library building. The water being turned'on, the outer walls wore immediately^ covered with a liquid sheet which, na the tempera ture was low, became eventually a ih'eot of ice.

It is a curious thing that in all the balloon ascensions and experiments that have been made in recent times, there has boen collected no satisfac tory data on so important a question us how long a time a balloon will re main in mid-air. It is, however, tho general opinion that, because of the change of the temperature of the day to that of night and its effect on the gas with which tho balloons are inflated, it has been possible to keep the ordinary balloon iu tho air for only about 30 hours without replen ishing tho "upply of ga?.

Many useful discoveries have been made by savage people and utilized by civilized men for the amelioration of human suffering. The native Brazil ian, fnr removed, as he usually is, from doctors aud surgeons, depends upon a little ant to sew up his wounds when he iu slusho'l or scratched. This odd d enture is called the surgical ant, from the use to which it is put The ant has two strong nippers on his head. They aro his weapons for battlo or forage. When a Brazilian has cut himself, for example.he picks up an nut, prestos tho nippers against (he wound, one on each side.and then gives tho bug n squeeze. The indig nant insect snaps his nippers to gether, piercing the flesh and bringing tho lacerated parts close together. The Brazilian nt that moment gives the ant's body a jerk and away it flies, leaving the nippers embedded in the flesh. To be sure that kills the ant, but ho has served his most useful pur pose in life. The operation is re peated until the wound is sewed *up neatly and thoroughly.-Chicago Chronicle. A Now Way to Sterilize Milk. A certain degree of heat kills the bacteria that promote tub souring of milk; heuce by raising the tempera ture of that fluid nearly to the boiling point it is effectually sterilized. Such treatment, however, robs milk of its characteristic flavor, imparta a new taste to it, robs it of its ability to yield cream, and otherwise affects it in an undesirable way. But a method of conducting the operation has been found which is said to be free from these objections, while retaining the advantages of sterilizing. Niels Ben dixeu oi Copenhagen has just pub lished a poper in which he describes the procoss. He saturates the milk with carbonio acid before applying heat, raises the temperature to 120 degrees, and finally removes the car bonic acid by exposing the milk to sterilized air. He alleges that milk so treated forms no skin,does not change color, and retains the cream yielding power. Just how the carbonic acid accomplishes this result is not olear, but its share in the work is affirmed positively. A Ginns of Wnter nt lied tl m e. The human body is constantly un dergoing tissue changes. Water has the power of increasing these changes, which multiply the waste products, but at the same time they are re moved by its agency, giving rise to increased appetite, which in turn pro vides fresh nutriment If you do not accustom yourself to drink water regularly you aro liable to have the waste products form faster than they are removed. Any obstruction to the free working of natural laws at once ; produces disease. Great weakness und languor on rising in tho morning ire generally duo to a large secretion of these waste products, and the , remedy is to drink a tumblerful of J water-either hot or cold-just before etiriug. This materially assists in the procoss during the night and leaves the tissues fresh and strong, ready for the active work of the next :lay.

Recent Tests by German Experts Give Affirmative Results. German scientists have recently been conducting experiments to ascertain how far it is safe for people to employ sugar as an article of diet These in quiries are not altogether disinterested. Quite the contrary. Two-thirds of thc world's supply of sugar is made from beets, and more than one-third of the total production of beet sugar ls credit ed to Germany. Part of this amount she is able to sell to foreigners. But the greater part of it she consumes horself. Now, exportation is liablo to fall off at any time, and it is highly probable that the manufacture will continue to increase. Hence lt is de sirable, from the German point of view, to promote the use of sugar ns far ns possible.? However, this motive does not impair the value of the In vestigations recently made. Instead, it Imparts greater Interest to the latter. It is a a rather curious fact that, al though Germany makes an enormous quantity of sugar, her people are not the largest consumers of that commod ity. Statistics for 1897 show that in England the average amount consumed per capita was 85.7 pounds a year, whereas In Germnny only 2G.G pounds were enten. Americans ate on an aver age G2.3 pounds. Hence lt would be practicable to double or even treble the consumption in Germany without any appearance of excessive Indul gence. Still, before recommending a policy of this sort, it was deemed wise by the experts to institute elaborate tests of the effect of a sugar diet The result is highly encouraging. It has been de termined that a liberal use of sugar is strengthening and fattening. One ls taken aback for a moment by the dis covery that the latter virtue was de monstrated by experiments with hogs and cattle; but this ls a situation call ing for cold logic, not sentiment Even before the tests were made which the American consul at Magde burg reports to the State Department nt Washington, lt was known that mountain climbers regard sugar as a source of energy. Moreover, the chem ists say that "lt ls a soluble carbon hydrate that is easily converted into warmth and forco." That ought to settle the question. But tho verdict was not considered final. Your Ger man scientist wimts to measure and compute, and enable himself to state his conclusions in a mathematical form. He is still happier if he can em ploy a substantial piece of apparatus in his inquiry. Well, these German savants proceed ed in the following manner: They re quested a man to apply his finger to a device called an ergostat, or force measurer. He exerted himself to the utmost to move the Index of the ma chine. A record of his strength was made. On a different occasion he was fed on sugar, and again experimented with. It then appeared that he could make a better showing with the ergo stat than before. ? Another form of the trial was to let n man ?Ire himself out feed him with sugar and see If lt restored his strength more quickly than abstinence. It thus appeared that his weary muscles recovered their power promptly in consequence of eat ing sugar. The German Government Is said to be considering the expediency of add ing six lumps of sugar to each soldier's ration In the army. But whatever it decides, it seems to have been demon strated that the matinee girl who eats a pound of bonbons during the per formance of a play will b* able to reach home in a much les.? exhausted condition than would otherwise be pos sible.-New York Tribune.

A plausible tain of a man who bought a loaf of bread and took away more property than he paid for, is told by the Pawtucket correspondent of the Providence Telegram. Tho man was In a hurry to catch a car. , His impatience made the clerk ner vous. She forgot to snap tho string which bound the paper about the loaf, and away sped the man with the loaf, while the string reeled off behind him. He caught the car all right, and al though the conductor and some of the passengers noticed, as he sat down close to the door, that the twine paid itself out as the car rolled along, the man did not discover the tangle uutll he alighted. In the meantime the con ductor wns having a good time; as passengers strimed on the platform he cautioned them not to walk on that string, and they did not. It might have looked mysterious to thc people who saw the string moving along the street, for the unraveling continued until the bakery twine bob bin had been nearly emptied by thc connected loaf a mile away. The man with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as he stepped down from the car. Then he followed up the cord, winding as he wont. He was one of those strictly honest men who want nothing that does not belong to them; and the best part of the story is that he followed the string back, winding as he walked, and in due time entered the bakery and re stored the ball of twine.
