This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude OF the
Evil caused by the use Of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
INTO market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepara-
lions have been analysed by competent chem
,sts and shown to contain poisonous sub
ttances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Far
Llysis and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos-
ion Medical Institute, who has been sue
:essful physician in Boston for more than
Quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
atable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Rcstorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility Of injury

The use Of this Hair Rcstorer for twenty
five years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruf, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR.
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. II is

hair where the iolicles are destroyed,

In his new book on s.Amercanisms,"
Professor Schele de We're, of the University
Of Virginia discourses on the origin of this
Phrase among others. He says:
The Hon. Andrew Stewart, member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, claimed in a
recent speech to have caused its first APP.
pearance in public In 1862 he was in
Congress discussing the principle of pro.
tection,' and said, in the course Of his re-
marks. that Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky
sent their haystacks, cornfelds and fodder
to New York and Philadelphia for sale
The Hon. Charles A. Wicklife, from Ken
lucky, jumped up and said why that is
absurd Mr.. Speaker, I call the gentleman
to order. He is stating an absurdity. We
never sent haystacks or cornGelds to New
York or Philadelphia" "Well," said I,
'what do you send p "Why, horses, mules,
cattle. hogs" ''Well, what makes your
horses, mules, cattle, hogs 2 You feed a
hundred dollars worth of hay to horse -
you just animate and get upon the top OF
your haystack and ride off to market How
is it with your cattle? You make one of
them carry fifty dollars worth Of bay and
grass to the eastern market Mr.. Wick
lite, you send hog worth ten dollars to an
eastern market how much corn does it
take at thirty-three cents bushe' to fatten
it p ''Why, thirty bushels" ''Ihen you
put that thirty bushels of corn in the s shape
OF hog, and make it walk off to an eastern
market" MIR. Wickliffe jumped up and
said "Mr. Speaker, 1 acknowledge the
corn"
''The other popular account of the phrase
ascribes it to the misfortune of fatboatman
who had come down to New Orleans with
two fatboats, laden. the one with corn, the
other with potatoes He was tempted To
enter gambling establishment and lost his
money and his produce. On returning al
night to the wharf, he found bis boat with
corn had sunk in the river, and when the
winner came next morning to demand the
stake, he received he answer. Stranger,

Good Counsel.

Never be cast down by triaes. If a spi-
der breaks his thread twenty times he will
mend it again. Make up your mind to do
thing and you will do it. Fear not, it
trouble comes upon you, keep up your spirits,
though the day may be dark one.
TROUBLES never stop forever;
The darkest day will pass away"
Ii the sun goes down, look up at tn
stars; if the earth is dark, keep your eyes
on heaven.
''Never despair when fogs in the air.
sunshiny morning comes without warning"
Mind what you run after. Never be
contented with bubble that will burst, or
firework that ends in smoke or darkness.
Get that which you can keep, and which is
worth keeping:
Something sterling that will stay
When gold and silver fly away"
Fight hard against hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it stoutly. A
spark may set a house on fire A fit OF
passion may give you cause to mourn all the
days Of your life
"He that revenges knows no rest;
The meek possess peaceful breast"

Wears the hardest rock away"
And so oft reneated kindness will soften

Whatever you do, do it willingly.
IA cheerful spirit gets on quick,
A grumbler in the mud will stick"
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than lion
and tigers for We can keep out of the way
of wild beasts, but bad thoughts win their
way everywhere. The cup that is full will
