What Will Surely Do It,
One’s hair begins io fall out from many
esuseg. Tht important question is: What
is sure to make it glow again? Accord

covers bald spots, restores the original
color when the hair is gray or faded,
eradicates dandruff, and causes the scalp
to feel cool and well. It is ndt" a dye,
not greasy, highly perfumed, safe. Never
disappoints those who require a nice, re- '

When Rev. Sam Jones declared, last
Thursday night, that no man who went
into the army swearing came out without
stealing,, and called upon any ex soldier,
whose conduct in tho army disproved the
assertion, to stand up, one man arose be
fore the vast audience. "You went into
the army swearing, and came out without
having stolen anything?" inquired Mr.
Jones. "1 did,” replied tho man. The
preacher retorted: "Then they must have
kept everything out ofyour reach, or kept
you io prison.” 'lhen there was a roar
of applause Chattanooga Tima.
Such remarks suit a clown in a circus
better than a preacher in a pulpit. They
go far towards overbalancing the good

We put a drop of alcohol into a man's
eye. It poisons it. We try it upon the
I lining of a living stomach. Again it poi
■ sous it. We study the stomachs of drink
' ing men after death, and find that alcohol
produces in regular stages redness, intense
congestion, morbid secretions, deeper
hurt, destruction of parts, utter ruin. We
i study its influence upon the health and
strength of sailors ard soldiers, and find
it helps to freeze them in the arctic re
gions, and exhaust them in the tropics.
We watch two regiments on a long march
in India, one with and the other without
grog, and are driven to the conclusien
that even moderate quantities of alcohol
weaken the muscles and break the endur
ance. We visit the training grounds of
oarsmen, pedestrians, and prize-fighters,
and learn everywhere the same lesson— :
alcohol is a poison to muscle aol brain. — |

THE GAMBLER’S WIFE.
Let us walk down the corridor of u
leading hotel after dinner, while the band
is playing, and the ladies have taken
possession of the sofasand chairs to show
themselves and their toilettes. There in
the full glare of the light you observe a
finely moulded, stately blonde. Her hair,
indeed, is so wondrous yellow that it
looks like fine thread* of gold. Her toi
let is superb, and the laces on her em
broidered dress are of the finest texture.
Diamonds sparkle on her fingers and in
her hair, and a splendid necklace of gems
makes a circle of flashing fire round her
beautiful neck. She fans herself leisure
ly, surveying a procession of elegantly
dressed women passing slowly up and
down. Bhe sits alone, and nobody bows
to her, but every eye casts upon her a
look of admiration. She is the wife of a
New York gambler, the owner of a su
perbly furnished palace of hazard in East
Fifty-ninth street.
Further on your glance is caught by
the splendid attire of a vulgar little wo
man whose pudgy finger must fe*l the
weight of ihe big diamonds which they
bear. She has none of the well-bred
grace of the woman with the golden hair.
Her little eyes follow every form that
passes, taking note of each toilette, her
mind comparing it, doubtless, with her
own garish and inharmonious outfit. She,
too, is alone, and no one speaks to her.
Her husband is the owner of one of the
smaller “club” houses. The thousands
that have served to bedeck her ungrate
ful person have como from the pocket-of
merchants and giddj’ clerks, whose love
of lucre or adventure leads them into a
fateful bout with the tiger.
Quite at the end of the corridor three
showily dressed youths chat with a
woman of rare beauty.. Two of thorn
are sons of a wealthy New York banker;
be third has an income of $20,000 a
year that was left him by his late father,
an iron man whose name was known
throughout the United States. Tho wo
man is charmingly dressed and quite
simply. Her voice is much better attun
cd than the voices of American women
usually are, her air and carriage are per
fect, and there is that something in bet
style which shows she has had a training
in deportment in a school abroad. She
chats and laughs gaily, and her quick re
plies stow that she is cleverer than any
of tho three gilded.'goriings who arc flat
tering around her. Now again other
young men in the stream flowing past
bow to her, or step out to say a word; but
no women recognize her in any way. She
is tho wife of an accomplished and push
ing young gambler, a man who is making
his way by devoting to that bu iucss the
thought and energy that usually bring
success in honest vocations. He owns
one of the most elegant hells in New York
and is growing rich rapidly. No small
part of bis prosperity is due to hi a beau
tiful and cultivated wife. She, they say,
i* the brilliant bencon that lures many a
goldun-ladcn human bark upon the rock
bound coast where her husband is wreck
er.
While the dangerous beauty is still
chatting with her suitors, a child’s ery is
heard, and presently, a little thing, nil
enveloped in laces, comes running and
subbing down the corridor. Sho throw
herself violently into the arms of the wo
man with the golden hair, whom we first
saw, while her bosom heaves and tears
well over from her great blue eyes
"Mamma, mamma," she cries, "it’s hap
pened again. And oh I I don't see what
I have done, what have I done?"
“What has happened again, my child?'
"I was in the parlor, and wanted to
dance ever so much, and I just made up
the set. But a lady came over and took
her little girl away. And after awhile
tbo little girl came back and said that her
mamma told she must never play with
mo either. And what have I done,
mamma, and why is some one always tell
ing me that she is not allowed to play
with me?”
"Never mind, child. Play with your
doll, it won't object."
“There's tho lady now who wouldn’t
let her little girl play with me," cried
the child, as a splendidly dressed wo
man, leading a girl by the hand, came
by, "and that’s the little girl, too.”
The women exchange glances os they
passed. No words could have said so
much. Tho children, too, eyed each
other angrily for an instant.
“I note you,” cried one, "I hate you."
"Bahl" returned the other. "Gam
bler, gambler. ”
"Take Rosalie away," said the woman
with the golden hair to a nurse who bad
come up. “And Rosalie—in lower tones
—"you must learn to keep your temper.
Now good night."
The other mother and child of fashion
had • ready left tho corridor and were
out yf sight. The band in tho parlor
burst into melody, and the woman with
the golden hair, her jewels flashing with
her every movement, again fanned het
self leisurely.
How quickly the women at a resort
like this come to know each other. 1 fan
cy their husbands and brothers look out
for them a good deal. Husbands and
brothers are great hypocrites sometimes.
They may be civil enough to a gambler's
wife or daughter, but a word io the ear
of their own feminine relations ia not to
Ibe forgotten on that account. And a
word is enough. What more could be
necessary where women whem the code
of the world will not permit to mingle
with the respectable element of their sex
go into great hotels where the breath of
life is vanity? In the midst of a throng
they are always alone, for, curiously
enough, they seem never toassociate with
each other, Thay perhaps find a vindic
tive satisfaction in out-dressing the wo
men who will not speak to them. Wo
i man is always a singular study, and the
' cambier’s wife is the strangest of ail.—

ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON THE HEART-
Dr. Richardson, of London, says he was
recently able to convey a considerable
amount of conviction to an intelligent
scholar by a simple experiment. The
scholar was singing the piaises of the
"ruddy bumper,” and saying that he
could not get through the day without it,
when Dr. Richardson said to him: “Will
you feel my pulse as I stand here?” He
did so. I said: "Count it carefully; what
dons it say?” "Your pulse says 74.” I
then sat down in a chair, and asked him
to count it again. He did so, and said:
"Your pulse has gone down to 70.” I lay
down on the lounge, and said: "Will you
take it again?” He replied: ’ Why, it is
only 64; what an extraordinary thing!"
I then said: ‘‘When you lie down at night
that is tho way nature gives your heart
rest. You khow nothing about it, and that
beating organ is resting to that extent;
and, if you reckon it up, it is a great deal
of rest, becau«e, in lying down, the heart
makes ten strokes less a minute. Multi
ply that by GO, and is is 600; multiply
that by 8, and it is 4,800 strokes Jess; and
as the heart thiows six ounces of blood
at every stroke, it makes a difference of
28,800 ounces of lifting during the night.
When I lie down at night without any
alcohol, that is the rest my heart gets.
But when you take your wine or grog you
do not allow that rest; for the influence
of alcohol is to increase the number of
strokes, arid, instead of rest, you put on
about 15,(M0 extra strokes, and rise very
seedy, and unfit for work, till you have
taken a little mi re of the’ruddy bump
er,’ which you say is the soul ofman here
below.” — Dio Leu.is s Nuggets.

TWO LONESOME BROTHERS.
"Yes, my brother and I feel rather
lonesome when we look Lack and think
over the past five years,” said one of the
famous Gallagher brothers, oil well shoot
ers. "A gang of ten of us,” said he,
“started out in the torpedoing business
then, and my brother and I are the only
ones of the party left. 1 don't suppose,
taking it altogether, mere than three
pounds of the other eight were ever
found. They never found as much as a
vest button of poor Lew Gray’s- He was
carrying a few cans of nitro glycerine on
his-buck in n bag, to save cartage, and
while ho was passing through the town
of Red Rock he slipped and fell. That
only left nine of us. There wasn't much
if Red Rock left ten seconds after Lew
fell with his load. lien Garthwaite was
the next one to go. He was getting
ready to torpedo a well at Richburg, and
something went wrong with the business.
A can of nitro glycerine exploded. Ren’s
cap was found hanging on a tree 300
yards away, and three fingers and a foot
that had belonged to him were picked up
in tho vicinity, and that was all any one
ever saw of poor Ren.
"Joe Ross ai.d four others of our gang
Went to tin ajjb at Corwin Center, No
one ever knew what caused the explosion,
because neither Joe nor Boy of the other
lour were ever ft tuitl. it was imposrible
to tell who the I its of scattered remains
that were found belonged to, and the cor
oner's inquest was lumped, and the rem
nants were buried together. Bill Grant
was unloading a wagon of nitro glycerine
soon after that at Bolivar, and was pass
ing the cans out to another nan in the
way some of the reckless handlers of the
stuff have a habit of doing; that is,
throwing them out for the other man to
catch, the same ns you’ve seen mon un
load bricks. By and by the man who was
catching the c. ns let one slip through his
fingers, and it fell on a stone. Bill's
widow hadn’t much of him to bury. 1
don't know what the other man's name
was, or whether he left a widow or not.
So that left my brother and me the last
of the gang
"We’ve shot hundreds of wells, J guess,
and while we don’t have any more fear
or nervousness in handling the deadly
stuff than you would have in handling
so many sticks of wool, wa know what it
ean do, and we favor it all we know how.
Still, it’s only a matter of time, I sup
pose. Ono of these days some unlooked
lor thing is bound to happen, and then
my brother and 1 will be scattered around
like the rest of them were. I might tale
sonic other kind of a job, where there was
less danger and the pay just as good,
but I don’t know. Ido know that I
wouldn't hire out to work on a railroad.
When I see train men running along over
the tops of freight cars, it makes me
shudder. Why, they’re apt to fall and
get an arm or leg taken off any minute.
But maybe they get reckless and forget
what danger they’re in. They make me
nervous."
The lonesome brother turned to a
workman who was standing several feet
away. "Hey, Johnny!” he shouted,
"ehnek me another can of glycerine. I
guess she'll stand another."— N. I’. Sun.

THE GIRL AT THE FRONT GATE.
Heaven bless the girl at the front gate
with peach bloom on her cheeks and love
light in her eyes. Men would shut her
out of our literature, but I am not one
o'' them. The girl at the front gate can
never grow old to those who have been
there with her. Years may come and co,
but the music of the low voice at the
front gate will not he stilled and the mom
ory of the cherry lips we kissed at the
front gate will hold out faithful to the
end. What if the old gate does sag and
its binges rattle and its latch refuse to
hold it shut? What if the posts are
shaky andsome of its pickets gone? Why,
love the dear old relic still. Why, love
it for the sake of the girl who used to
stand out there by it with roses on her
cheeks and nectar on her lips. We held
the old gate up and counted the stars
and bid goodby and then counted the
stars again. How many times of a night
was goodby said? How many times did
lips meet o’er the old dear gate? The old
gate knows, but it will never tell. The
old front gate may have eonoted the
kisses, but I never did. And wl at ot th a
giri with the peach bloom cheek-,? Ah,
me! She married another. She forgot
her vows at tho old front gate, as some
gills will, and married a richer and hand
somer man. And I? Well. I went off to
another front gate where there were oth
er peach bloom cheeks and other lips as
sweet and just as many stars to count.
And now I have a front gate of my own
with peach bloom cheeks who counts the
stars with the boy of the girl whose vows
made with u e at the first front gate were
broken. But he is a true, good b<y, and
my girl is a good, true girl, and heaven
bless them both as they stand to-night at
the old front gate. St. Louis Magazine.

Diabetes Cured.
New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, ISM.
Mr. Mathias Doll, business place No.
23 North Peters street, residence Royal
street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans, has been a most intense
Bufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to us: “ Even earlier than that I fre
quently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became unendurable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that I could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de
riving the least benefit. I then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though I
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yet upon the whole
I w.is not only no belter, but in many re
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that I could not cross
rnv legs when sitting on a chair—all of
which, they said, was caused bv diabetes.
I then tried some highly lauded patent
medicine. But they all turned out to be
humbugs. 1 had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being curoQ,
svhen I noticed in the papers some won
derful cure* that Peruna had made in
this city, as prescribed by Dr. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per
son treated. 1 called to see him; he at
once prescribed his Pervna, which is not
over three weeks, ago. I am so much
better that if I would not improve any
more, I would not for any amount that I
had not placed nivself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in rnv legs ha*
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. I am, indeed,
quite well again. Don’t hesitate, don’t
sav humbug, but get the Pf.run a at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
if vou think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and sec me and
see for yourself."
Mrs. Huldah Riple, Smethport, Me- I
Kean county, Pa., writes: “ Dr. S. B.
Hartman. & Co.,Columbus, O. 1 have
used vour Pkruxa and it has done me a
great deal of good. Have recommended it
to many of my friends, who have since ex
pressed themselves as wonderfully pleased
with its virtues.”
