A Gundry in Life 1 Corn Exchange MINNEAPOLIS And Have it SOLD BY SAMPLE in the Minneapolis Market I en off The gentleman did not realize that his nerves were at all shaken on the contrary he prided himself in be lieving that be could endure more men tal' worry than three ordinary men He had been at the falls three or four days when he was joined by a Chicago capitalist The two had a speculation together and the details were to be settled here One day after dinner the pair went into Prospect Park and sat down on a bench facing the rapids and not over five feet from the water When they had talked for an hour or so the Ohio gentleman seemed to be somewhat ex cited in his speech and movements He threw several sticks into the water talked in loud tones and soon atjacted attention The capitalist thought it a bit queer felt no uneasiness until the other suddenly seized him in you are a scoundrel ana going to send you over the The capitalist was the smaller and the weaker man and he felt the help lessness of the situation He was gripped by the shoulders but Lensed his hands to clench the seat behind him and replied to the lunatic: know a bad man and you must give me time to rights all said the Ohioan shall have two minutes for prayers and then go over the falls together Sav Blank you are a good fellow after all and go to The idea with Chicago man was of course to gain time The people who had been attracted by the loud talk had passed on and it so happened that no one else came that way He 1 hoped the lunatic change his mind after two or three minutes but 1 instead of that be grew more impatient declaring that they must hurry up or 1 they would be too late Despairing of aid from otners tne capitalist imaiij said: here Mr Blank go up and jump off the Goat Island bridge have further to swim and 1 want to leave my wallet with' some George! Good idea: come on! exclaimed the other and they walked nn the nath and out of the park arm in arm They were no sooner out of sight of the rapids than the Ohioan be gan to grow calmer and as they bore riff toward the hotels he removed his hat scratched his head in a thought ful way and picked up the point he I dropped a quarter of an hour before and went on debating the transaction as if nothing unusual had occurred An hour later when asked if he was in earnest in threatening his friend he was completely dumfounded nor Could he be made to believe that any thing of the sort had occurred How ever a dim suspicion that he might have been unduly excited by the roar and clash of the waters crept into his mind He went down to the park alone but returned almost at once his face very pale his eyes betraying wildness and his whole manner show ing that he had passed through a severe struggle shall keep away from the water he said to the capitalist stay there five minutes without committing suicide or The matter was of course kept quiet even from the wife but two years later while the gentleman was making a trip on the Ohio River he was sud I denly missed and he has never been heard of since The boat was racing with another and the probabilities are that the excitement brpught back his passion for self destruction and that he went overboard if Dimly and to me me The I Hair Lore Detroit Tribune: freaof na ture I suppose causes superfluous hair1 said Dr Henri Leonard: cannot ex actly tell what Hair can grow oh all parts of the surface of the body except ing the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet but it is not frequently seen excepting oh the parts where one usu ally expects to see it and if a tuft of it is found growing in an unusual place it is called a disfigurement and one finds some way of removing it A great many apply to me My method is electrolysis or by means of a battery which carries an electric current into the hair follicles burning it out 1 have taken out a thousand hairs for one society lady Mole hairs are treat i ed very successfully in this way 50 per cent being permanently destroyed with one current and a second trial destroys those left the first much The flesh is sore for a day or two like a little burn but it sel dom troubles one more than a few minutes This method was discovered by Dr Piffard of New York He uses a milder current than 1 but the pa tients say mine burns no more It is something however I do not care es pecially to practice I studied up hairt uses and and that brought me considerable correspondence from all over the world I do not like the business it tries my eyes and is a drain on my nervous system Still I remove a great deal are two kinas oi nair a son down on the lower lobes of the ears that is difficult to remove coarser hair which grows on the ear can be easily about the hair on up per lips usually shave that off or use a rench powder "Of course that has to be often repeated Sometimes it is clipped but that renders the next growth harsh I have heard of belles singeing the hair oft their arms over a wax candle but that was in the era of short sleeves and before these rench powders were invented But while young ladies may like the hair taken out of a mole on the neck or face they are very particular that the mole itself shall be more or less fortune in moles One on the neck brings riches on the face nearly all the blessings flesh is heir to besides making a white complexion still whiter by contrast I heard a young lady say the other day that a mole she had on her arm had brought her heaps of luck It is on the line of she said and the nurse who saw it first predicted it would bring life riches happiness and better than all a good Yes moles are treasured I sometimes have applications to put them on' but never to take them you think baldness cannot say that it does If peo ple would live more out of doors or if they kept their heads uncovered they would be less likely to get bald Thp reason fewer ladies are bald is that they let the air in on the roots of thfe hair Hot rooms are death to hair germs Then disturbances within the nervous system frequently affect the hair Depression of spirits helps to make one people bald at an earlier age than is a hereditary rule that if the father is bald at 30 the son may expect to be at 28 When a man begins to grow a beard there is 50 per cent drain on his blood and if the system is al lowed to run down the hair feels it in proportion to the other parts of the body and the hair on the top of the head grows thin and perhaps comes off A large growth of hair certainly runs in families and often through all the long heavy hair often complain that it brings on headache or that their strength goes to their hair and it is certainly inconvenient often to dress fashionably very long heavy hair but I think I I Yiiirlarl ninra hu than by comfort If cutting the hair short i is the style ladies and girls will

the English and renchwoman wore a mountain of hair plumes of feathers and chains of beads hanging about this huge coiffure on the top of which were worn models of coaches and horses blown in glass In

of the nose should be considered as is the figure in selecting a becoming pattern If the nose is large the hair may be dressed rather massive or else the large nose will make the head look small and

brought back to a semblance of sense by hearing a murmur of many voices i whispered wnrestful words which irri tate my faculties without redeeming me fruffi the nightmare of a lost ty Sense slowly seems to permeate a frame reluctant to revive but surely as the tide gains on the shore the senses left void by that earthquake ebb of con sciousness are filled by its returning flow Gradually the relations of mind and body were resumed but ere the sharp and anxious whisperings con veyed meaning to my mind I strove to feel the assurance of bodily existence and made a feeble effort to raise my hand The effort was a failure but it helped to restore me I soon tried again and this time was aware of ex erting muscular power I raised my right arm a moment and: dropped it helplessly I felt like one partially paralyzed saida' voice This time the words were plain and I understood but where I was orfwhat had happened I still failed to grasp nor did I yet think or care to know The idea of reality was like light in darkness to my returning senses The vague horror of a smothered person ality had been so terrible thatinstinct ively I sought to greet the human brotherhood on finding myself under whatever circumstances restored to iK I again reached forth my hand this time more strongly coming said a harsh voice Then louder: fetch a I did not yet attach much meaning to what I heard I chiefly craved for some reassurance some sign of sym pathy Again I lifted my hand to wards the voices of fellow men This time my mute appeal was not made in vain A hand took mine with a deljcate hut comforting clasp eeling that was something to keep me safe even in the nebulous wilderness of forgetfulness I gave up the tension of struggling to regain my footing among realities and slipped contented ly into vacuity rom a dreamless slumber I awoke with clearer faculties I remembered with no effort the incidents of my journey from St my ar rival at the lodge gates my progress to the house the gathering storm the opening door the voice that had called to me through the storm then the crash that had hurled me into insensibility This time there was no painful striving to resume the powers of life A feel ing of safety and rest pervaded me I no longer sought to move toprove theexistence of bodily powers I was con tent to be Time had not yet resumed its signi ficance I had no idea how long I had been where I was no notion whether it were day or night or what day or night it was I did not trouble my serenity of rest with speculating upon it I might have been in a swoon of an duration I might have been' sleeping an enchanted sleep oLmany centuries The touch of reality was again supplied by voices I awoke from an other spell of slumber to hear the sound of incisive whispering that whispering which is of all sounds the most irritating to nerves that long for quiet and of all means to escape hearing the most futile must be moved from said a voice Air I remembered all about him and myself as if I had no concern in the matter A step came close to me is asleep sound said the voice of Miss Beaufoy This struck me as being quite true I was still outside all the

room crying of course She soon forget what I said to There was a cruelly in the way this was said which reminded me of the tone I bad noticed before in some of Miss remarks to her cousin It brought back associations still more strongly and woke me up more thoroughly I recalled also the hand that had been as it seemed stretched out to me in the abyss from the whole sale living world of substance That clasp so full of womanly sympathy and help could not have been from the hand of the imperious creature who spoke so coldly and so cruelly Mary ortescue sent away in tears My coming had brought

It seemed that he could not get the attendance that he wanted He was fuming and the calm tones of his daughter evident ly did not assuage his annoyance man must have lost his senses as well He and

whisper that he added A low whistle sounded somewhere the room Perhaps that is said Miss Beaufoy A short conversation seemed now to be taking place by means of a speak ing tube I felt more and more uneasy vaguely uneasy The tenor of the talk that I had heard gave rise to all sorts of unpleasant ideas not the least of which and one that gained strength rapidly after its first inception was that I was in the position of a spy an invnlnntarv snv certainly or much that I had "heard seemed at first to be external altogetho to myself but as 1 1 regained more and more of the usual I mental balance I remembered every thing only too distinctly and my mind busilv employed its recovered strength in reading the riddles presented to it I did not yet fully grasp the situation but I realized enough to know that I ought to assert my consciousness fool said Beaufoy can move our friend now come A further conversation ensued whicji I did not catch I then heard Miss Beaufoy say: Mary can look him then It will be a blessing'to keep her employed in that until she can take to her a said Beaufoy know what to do with must keep Miss Beaufoy replied with the same scorn which I had before noticed goes with the said her father It was a long time since I had heard profane language The blind Ifocinda singularly patient race and I was the more struck with hearing strong ex pressions from the mouth of one who bad been painted as a precise and for mal benefactor The power of motion seemed sudden ly to have returned to me I essayed to move The voices ceased Steps ap proached me I tried to sit up but the effort was too much do you asked Miss Beaufoy in a more gentle voice than 1 had expected to hear from the whis pered colloquy which had occupied my half dormant intelligence you I am all I answered shall be able to move A quick and eager whispering now toot place the purport of which I quite failed to gather I then heard the gentle chink of glasses and presently Miss Beaufoy brought me a draught she said in a tone of command I had no strength to resist even if I had wished to but 1 was thirsty and swallowed what she gave me Then oblivion fell upon me once more I awoke again to a strange vision the strangest I had had in all my years of darkness Time seemed to have rolled back to the period before my calamity I opened my eyes in the old sense of the words 1 opened my eyes A dim soft light met my senses I lay and wondered and delighted in the vision I seemed to be in a small room with some amount of luxury in its fittings as well as Icould judge in the soft light Strange and
