The Papular Cosmos Flow.' .
The eosmos flower, which has come to
be all the rage here this fall, has an in
teresting history, which Mr. Small, the
florist, related. It is indigenous to Mex
ico, -where it grows wild in the fields liks
the daisy in this climate.- Some four
years ago a German florist in Hoboken,
N.' J., nrooaeated some of the nlants !
from imported seeds and introduced the ! neattliy, and free from dandruff or humors,
fl ;--t vr i rrv iv t a. ' The universal testimony is that this prep-
iw xuriL. mcu uie puuu aratiuu lias no equal as a dressing and
appeared in the Soldiers' home gardens ! b, therefore, indispensable to every wtll-
funnslied toilet.
"I have Ksed Ayer's Hair Vi?or for some
time and it has worked wonders for me. I
was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly
becoming bald ; but since using the Vipor my
head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the Lair
has ceased coining out, and I now have a
jtokI growth, of the same coW as when I
was a young woman. 1 can .heartily recom
mend any one suffering from dandruff or
ioss of hair to use Aytr's Hair Vipor as a
dressing." Mrs. Lydia O. Moody, East
Pittston, Me. e
"Some time ago my wife's hair began to

where it was found that it would bloom J
as late as January and February, on ac- j

a quantity of the seed and began to grow !
the plant for the market, meeting with
such success that he has now several i

Mr. Small says that the plant cannot

The Cane Has Gone.
The really high caste London swell
has "cursed his sticks and cast it out."
Swagger Englishmen no longer . appear
in' public with canes of any description.
The collection of choice silver topped
and natural wood, weapons they drew
mental sustenance from through so many
seasons Las suffered a temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empty
handedson the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of weather a
medium sized silk umbrella.
The colic pee of the stick is attributable
to the wholesale adoption of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman.
Arry, the haberdasher, greengrocer
and draper men were contented until re
cently to carry blackthorns or a light
rattan. To this no objection was raised
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone well had not a sharp American
flooded the market with cheap, flash;
copies of swelldom's own stick. The re
sult was intolerable, and hence the uni
versal renunciation of canes in uppei
circles. Illustrated American.
Ayer's
JIair Vigor
not only prevented my wife from becoming
Dald, i but it also caused an entirely new
I rowth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before a Justice of the peace."
II. Ilulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after a severe attack of
Drain fever, niy hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my phy
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. I then tried, successively,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The. ist remedy I applied
was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth cf hair hi a few weeks. I think I
' used eight bottles ia'two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but I liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Ilair
Vigor possesses virtues far abu those of
y similar preparation now on the market."
