Do YouJJse It? It's the best thing (or the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man tiy taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. No. 8.

They are not so exacting for one thing. Their first plunge, if it has taught them any thing, has taught them lo be forbeariug. Besides they are not so detestably ro mantic. If they drop llieir gloves in the street, they pick tbetii up without any fuss and do not wait for you to bend your knees to them ami a very strong point they know what men are and don't have to learn their lessens with sad tears and sighs. Tiny are not so prone to be extravagant cither another excellent feather in their mature caps. In short, if you marry, don't pass over the widows as if I hey were just the alloy of human ity." There is a great deal of common sense in this. Kven in wooing a wtduw a man is sure lo be saved much trouble. The dear lady can meet him halfway without any sacrifice of modesty, This, to a humble minded bachelor, is much.

The pretty, blushing girl of une year is often hardly recognizable in the assum ing, haughty young matron of a year later. She doesn't shuw, half so attrac tively as a full blowu flower as she did in the bud. The number of men who have thus wedded only to be disillusioned! You can tell some of them by the wrinkles in their foreheads within a year or two after tbeit marriage or by the otherwise inexplicable habit of taciturnity that they acquire . I )ue may form a tulcrable idea of a widow's merits in some respects hy her il 'iiieanor early in Imr widowhood. Tact is the supremely useful quality iu the average widow.
