Vitality and Color
.Are restored to weak and gray hair, by
the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. Through
its cleansing and healing properties, this
preparation prevents the accumulation
of Dandruff, and cures all scalp diseases.
When I commenced using Ayer’s Hair
Vigor my hair was weak, thin, and gray.
My scalp -was also full of dandruff, and
itched incessantly. Two bottles of the
Vigor removed the dandruff, stopped
the irritation, restored my hair to
its original color, and so stimulated its
growth that I now have an abundance
of long black hair. The occasional use
•of this remedy keeps my hair and scalp
In perfect condition. — Florence J. Can-
aion, 759 Clinton st., Trenton, N. J.
Ayer’s Hair Vigor
is, in every respect, the most cleanly of
•all preparations for toilet use. ^

Old and Young Great Men.
Says the London Standard: It would
seem as if the work of the world were
sometimes destined to be done by a
band of young men and sometimes by
a group of old ones. At the beginning
of the present century, for instance,
most of the heroes of peace and war
were young. Napoleon was not much
over 30 in the days of Austerlitz and
Marengo; few of his Marshals were
older. Wellington passed his fortieth
year in the Peninsula campaign. Pitt,
after 20 years in the Premiership, died
at 47. Nelson was just the same age
at Trafalgar. Our poets—Byron,
Shelley, Keats, and Coleridge—were
young; Sir Walter Scott was looked
upon as quite a patriarch of letters at
55. At present we are in the cycle of
the seniors. We have Mr. Gladstone
and M. Grevy, prince Bismarck, and
the German Emperor, all of whom, if
they belong very actively and vividly
to the present, would have left a good
record of notable work behind them if
they had joined the majority before M.
Beneditti altered the map of Europe
by forgetting his manners on the
promenade at Ems on a certain critical
day. And the strange thing is that
when these veterans disappear from
the stage they seem likely to leave no
successors. No doubt Providence has
not forgotten posterity, and the next
generation will be duly provided with
its proper proportion of great men.
But it must be admitted that they are
slow in making their appearance. Who
is to succeed Prince Bismarck in Ger-
many? Who has taken up the mantle
of Victor Hugo in France ? Who are to
to be the successors of Lord Tennyson
and Mr. Browning? As for politics,
we do not. forget Lord Randolph Chur-
chill and Mr. Chamberlain in Eng-
land, or Count Kalnoky, M. Tisza,
and M. de Freycj.net abroad, when we
say that the nineteenth century—the
century of statesmen—shows at pres-
ent but faint prospects of closing with
such a galaxy of great men as that
which shed lustre over its infancy and
its middle age. Let us hope that des-
tiny, i.n one of its freaks, is only wait-
ity till the old heroes are cleared off the
board to startle us with a constellation
of young geniuses in peace and war,
in letters and in arts. In the mean-
while we have old men, and may be
thankful for them.
Coast Line of British Columbia.
The coast line is much broken with
numerous long inlets, bays, coves, and
islands. It is noteworthy that, while
from San Francisco to Cape Flattery
there is not a single harbor for ocean-
going ships, good harbors are numerous
in British Columbia, both on mainland
and Vancouver Island. Among these
may be mentioned Burrard Inlet on
the mainland, to which trans-continen-
tal 'railway comes, Esquimalt, the
Naval Station in Vancouver Island,
and Nanaimo, a great coal-shipping
port on the east coast of that island,
all of which are excellent harbors much
frequented by shipping. A remark-
able feature on the coast of the prov-
ince is the noble barrier for the protec-
tion of the mainland shores formed by
the outer half-submerged mountain
range represented by the large islands
of Vancouver and Queen Charlotte.
The Earl of Dulferin thus describes
the coast line of this province:—
“ Such a spectacle as this coast line
presents is not to be paralleled by any
country in the world. Day after day
for a whole week, in a vessel of nearly
two thousand tons, we threaded an
interminable labyrinth of watery lanes
and reaches that wound endlessly in
and out of a network of islands, prom-
ontories and peninsulas for thousands
of miles, unruffled by the slightest
swell from the adjoining ocean, and
presenting at every turn an ever-shift-
ing combination of rock, verdure, for-
est, glacier, and snow-capped mountain
of unrivalled grandeur and beauty.
"When it is remembered that this won-
derful system of navigation, equally
well adapted to the largest line of battle
ship and the frailest canoe, fringes the
entire seaboard of the province and
communicates at points, sometimes
more than a hundred miles from the
coast, with a multitude of valleys
stretching eastward into the interior,
while at the same time it is furnished
with innumerable harbors on either
hand, one is lost in admiration at the
facilities for inter-communication
which are thus provided for the future
inhabitants of this wonderful region.”
Quaker Marriages.
In the Quaker society divorce is al-
most unknown. No society throws
about the marriage contract more sol-
emnity and more of public recognition.
The ceremony begins a full month be-
fore it is completed by marriage. The
young people have to announce in pub-
lic their intention of marriage. One
month later they appear together in
public meeting of the society and arise
to say, “We will continue our inten-
tions of marriage.” In the meantime
wise advisers of the contracting parties
have fulfilled their duties, and the
filial ceremony, which usually takes
piece some days afterward in public,
occurs, the marriage is entered iiito in
the proper spirit.

BUILDING INSPECTOR NEEDED.
It has been suggested by a gentleman
well versed in matters municipal that an
inspector of buildings should be appoint-
ed, or an assistant to the city engineer,
who should allow no buildings, to go up
until after an .inspection of ihe plans and
the certainty of a safe and proper con-
struction of the buildiDg and flues he
assured. As matters now stand there is no
surevilance exercised in the construction
of flues and as many destructive fires have
their origin in defective heating arrange-
ments the matter is worthy of considera-
tion. The gentleman in question also
suggests that as the ordinance now ex-
ists the city engineer is compelled to
grant permits for the repairs of old build
ings winch should be torn down,
and that a reform in this matter is
needed.
—This is about the time of the year
when the good house wife taxes her in-
genuity for a change in the appearance of
the home that will best comport with the
joyousness and radiance of spring. No
one article can be used to greater ad-
vantage in this direction than matting.
This being the case the attention of read-
ers of Evening Tribune is called to the
announcement of B. R. Davis &Bro.,
who have just received a varied assort-
ment of the spring importations of China
mattings. These mattings are both hand-
some and novel, and are found very
serviceable. ' In addition to this a large
and complete stock of every article need
ed in house furnishing goods can be
found at this establishment.
