And congress had ‘parsistenitly refused to admit the sen- ‘gters and representatives from the tes which he bad reconstructed on 1iberal plan.

At the same time -a large class of Southern whites was dis- franchised for disloyalty in the war, which left several states to pass under the corrupt government of northern “carpet baggers” and southern “scal- awags,” who gained power by manipu- lating the ignorant black vote and who held it by force of federal bayonets.

The skull showed the-mark of a heavy blow, but the skeleton was complete and In excellent preservation. The ubiform, consisting the terms of peace for the south-! of a small' vest tunic, and a larger one, breeches, stockings and cap, all of gray flannel, showed no signs of de- cay. In the pocket of the tunic was a skin purse, containing sixteen colns bearing the date 1677. Live Up to Your ldeal. You always-make your best im- pressions when you are through and through what you want folks to think you are. It's not a matter of tinsel, 1t's a matter of hewing character from the stuff nature has given you. It's hard work. Putty is easily molded and as easily yields to crumbling proc- esses. Character becomes fiint, with the years that testings bring. So begin now to make yourself all you want your fideal to be.—~Exchange. _ Why Viz. and Oz.7 The two abbreviations, viz. and oz., are seen and used dally, yet it Is doubtful if many know thefr origin. Viz. is from the first two letters of videlect; a Latin word meaning “namely.” The z is,a corruption of an anclent sign, something like a 3, that was placed at the end of an ab- breviated word. In course of time the 3 has become a z. The same applies to oz., the abbreviation for ounce. Unction, But Human Nature.

As He Looked to James.

TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed With Sulphur It - Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkemng gray, streaked and faded hair. is gtnnd- mother’s redipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, whlch is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great- est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathermg the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth' Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been ‘applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis- appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap- plications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.
