Dark Hair
“ I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for a great many years, and al
though I am past eighty years of
age, yet I have not a gray hair in
my head.”
Geo. Yelloft, Towson, Md.
We mean all that rich,
dark color your hair used
to have. If it’s gray now,
no matter; for Ayer’s
Hair Vigor always re
stores color to gray hair.
Sometimes it makes the
hair grow very heavy and
long; and it stops falling
of the hair, too.

THE USES OF THE ROPE.,
Hundreds of Thousands of Human
Lives Each Day Hung by
Wire Thread.
While the longest ropes are used
for hauling purposes, some of the
most interesting data in connec
tion with wire ropes are obtained
with their use for hoisting pur
poses, says Mines and Minerals.
Hundreds of thousands of lives are
literally each day hung by a small
wire thread as the men are low
ered into and Insisted from the
bowels of the earth, and in many
eases the only means of communi
cation hot ween the surface and
tin* underground workings, which
are from a few feet to a mile in
dept h, is by a comparatively small
hoisting roj»e. Think of hanging
from the end of a cable only a few
inches in diameter and a mile
long, being hoisted at a rate which
is faster than that of the average )
railroad train, and some idea of
the hoisting problem can be
gained. To the honor of the wire
rope manufacturers, it must be
said that very few shaft accidents
aredue to the breaking of t he rope,
excepting where the cage is over
wound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope, or which
are traceable to false economy on
the part of tin* users of wire rope.
No part of a mining plant is more
carefully inspected and watched
than the hoisting rope, and very
few mining managers will take
any unnecessary risks in the hoist
ing of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost
to provide ropes for hoisting from
great depths. To make a rope of
practicable size that will be suf
ticiently flexible and that will bear
even its own weight is no mean
problem, for in such cases the
weight of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted.
Hence we have taper rope intend
ed to give a varying section depen
dent on the amount of rope off the
drum or reel.
LONELINESS OF PRAIRIES.
Treeless, Trackless Wastes That Are
Devoid of Water and Un
inhabited.
“I had almost as soon be set
adrift in a small boat in mid-ocean
as to be dropped down on t he vast
prairie near the Kansas ('olorado
state line,” said a man who is
familiar with the west, according
to the Birmingham (Ala.) News.
"One cannot realize the loneli
ness of the western plains until
he has crossed them. There are
verv few human habitations, com
paratively little of the land is un
der cultivation, and water is a
scarce and precious commodity.
In (»vcry direction nothin};' meets
the gaze of t he eye except a track
less, treeless waste which is
bounded only by the lowering sky.
I*ra irie dogs are the chief denizens
of this region, and as the train
whirls past they perch themselves
on the hind leas and si! bolt up
right as motionless as a statue.
There are a few houses, but they
are at wide intervals. The one
single advantage that a lonely pe
destrian has in that region is that
by following tin* railroad track
sufficiently far he will reach a
town someday but walkiugat this
season under the burning prairie
sun is b\ no means pleasant.
“It is positively tiresome t« the
eve to ride across the prairies in
a comfortable Pullman car sur
rounded by all the luxuries of life.
This being true, it must be next to
appalling to have to tramp over
this region without food or water,
except what one begs at the few
way stations along the route. 1
have never been able to see any
thing picturesque or invit ing about
the wide stretching plains.”
Cavalrymen Who Ride Oxen.
The oddest cavalry in tin* world
is maintained on the west coast
of Madagascar by Gov. Gen. J. G.
Gallieni. While the French troops
in that country are ample to meet
the occasional revolutions, the
governor general makes use of na<
tive talent for police work in out
of the way localities. On theweat
coast of Africa is a tribe of na
tives. possibly radically connected
with the Hovas, who are known as
the Sakahova, the most warlike
tribe of the country. The natives,
in imitation of French troopers,
organized an oxen cavalry corps,
under command of a French ofli
cer. They are armed with modern
long handled lances or spears and
side arms.—Chicago Chronicle.
COUNTERFEIT WORKSOFART
Making of Bogus Antiques Has Be
come Quite an Industry
in Italy.
William Le Queux notvs an
amazing growth in Italy of the
manufacture of counterfeit an
tiques, reports an exchange.
He says he has stood in more
than one sculptor's studio and
seen “age” given to marble by a
newly discovered process which
in 12 hours will give to a statue
500 times its true value. The
greater part of this output is said
to be shipped to New York.
According to Mr. Le Queux, the
largest profit is. however, made
on arms and pictures. The armory
where the greater part of tie*
“ancient" arms sold by dealers in
Italy is forged is in a back street
in Ivghorn. Here in a couple of
tumble-down old blacksmith shops
every conceivable kind of armor
is made, from the fourteenth ceil
fury helmet or breastplate to
“ancient” gauntlets, halberds,
swords and daggers.
“I have watched these swords
being stamped with the marks of
monograms of the well-known
Spanish armorers of fhe sixteenth
century,” writes Mr. Le Queux,
“the coronet in a shield of Domin
go, the crossed scissors of Sanchez,
the half moon of Juan Martin or
1 he star of (1 il 1 >e Alnian, together
with good ’selling' Latin inscrip
t ions or owners' names with dates.
I have stood by and seen how the
steel is treated with acids, how
the bronze hilts are painted with
sime solution to render them old
and how they are placed in troughs
of damp earth to induce rust and
patina before being sold to the
dealers at so much a dozen as
sorted."
DICK TURPIN IN RUSSIA.
Student Who Turned Highwayman
and Gave Stolen Money
to the Poor.
“Solomon II., t»y tlit-* grace of
God kin” of tin* J‘ws. ’ This was
ilio way in which a vory remark
al>lo prisoner recently signed the
prison book at Kiev. Russia, says
the London Mail.
Ilis history is curious. He
was a handsome, hard work
ing student of Ivied seminary,
but on finishing Ids course, he im
mediately provided himself with
a revolver, dagger and a number
of forged papers and passes, and
began a career of lobheri and
brigandage which was marked
throughout by consummate skill
and forethought.
He murdered and stole on the
highway, his victims in Kiev in
eluding a staff captain and a mas
ter id' the watch. At his richly
furnished apartments in Kiev In*
dispensed lavish hospitality to a
circle of most respectable friends,
who never suspected the source ot
his wealt h.
Ilis capture was brought
about by 1 he accidental prof rusion
of a revolver from his coat pocket
while he was bargaining with a
fur merchant. The latter pointed
him out to a detective, and “Sol
onion II.’’ was arrested and bound
like a dangerous wild beast.
At the preliminary examination
he confessed to a long series of
robberies, the proceeds of which
lie appears to have dispensed
largely in succoring the poor and
the outcast. He denied any mur
ders, however, professes peni
tence, and intimates his anxiety to
expiate his misdeeds in the prayer
ful seclusion of a monastery.
