u LEGANT HAIR adds n charm to tho plain
~ est facc; but when faded, features before
agreeable lose their comcliness, and the whole
expression is that Of advancing age. This being
a fact, it ia not surprising that even injurious ar
ticles should have been prepared to supply the
millions who wish to avoid premature gray hair
Under these circumstances it will scarcely be
wondered at that NATTANS' CRYSTAL DIS
COVERY should have met with such extraor-
dinary success.
It is the only preparation furnishing safe
and reliable resorer for the hair; absolutely free
from all poisonous and dcleterious matter and
without sediment and thousands above thousands
have availcd themselves oft, not simply because
it restores the color of the hair, but because 1t
suppies nourishment 1t feeds the roots Of the
hair, 50 that where decaycd it becomes vigorous
and healthy again. From all sections of the
country orders and testimonials are received
daily, speaking in the highest terms of its quail
ties as the only preparation that ever gave entire
satisfaction Those who have used CRYSTAL
DISCOVERY will not Use any thing else; but
to those who have not tried this excellent
article it is recommended that when they are again
in want of something of the kind to give 1t
trial; you will be more than pleased you Will
be delighted with it, and will never again be
without it. Don't let your druggist, if he has not
rot CRYSTAL DISCOVERY persuade you to
buy something else, or you will be disappointed;
rather 90 where you can get it put up in large
bottles, containing half as much more as any
other in market and, consequently much the
cheapest. Price one dollar. For sale by w An

Woop VERSUS IRoN.-The following para
graph, the gist of which is taken from an Eng
Ish paper. is attracting much attention in the
American press:
"A prominent English shipbuilder, and the
founder of large iron shipbuilding company
on the river Tyne at recent meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute, in England, read 4
very interesting paper upon the relative merits
of iron and wood in the construction! OF vessels
Among other things, he satisfactorily demon
strated that in the case Of vessels OF one thou
sand tons burden, ship built ofiron will weigh
thirty-6ve per cent. less than wooden vessel
of the same measurement, the displacement
being the same. The former will not only car
rv more weight, but as its walls are only half
the thickness of the wooden ones, will be ena-
bled to accommodate greater bulk OF cargo.
In the iron ship it is possible to reach ; tar IA;
greater degree Of strength, and tc build With
longer and finer lines, so that higher SAILING
qualities, greater speed and larger carrying
power are attained as the great commercial re-
suits. The gentleman contended that a snip
constructed of iron is not liable to strain IN
heavy sea- while wooden ones in this way alone
frequently cause the destruction OF valuasle
cargoes By the use of iron masts steel yards
and wire rigging, he demonstrated that 4 great
saving OF weight may be effected, and larger
facilities offered for the application OF improved
reefng sails and other labor saving appliances;
In fact, he insisted that such 4 vessel could
carry freight at least twenty-five per cent
cheaper than wooden one of the same mea-
snrement His views upon the subject appear
to have been received with much favor by the
members of the association.

THE STEREoscopE.-We cannot vouch tol
the truth Of the following story in the Amerl-
can Journal of Chemistry, but it is too good to
be lost
When the stereoscope was invented, the Ab,
be Moigno took the instrument to Arago, and
tried to interest him in it but Arago unluckl-
ly had defect Of vision that made him see
double, so that looking into the stereoscope he
saw on y medley eff four pictures The Able
then went to Savart, but he was quite as inca
bic of approaching the thing, for he had but
one eye. Becquerel was next visited, but ne
was nearly blind, and consequently cared but
little for the new optical toy. The Able, not
discouraged, called next upon Pouiet, Of the
Conservatoire des Arts ct Meters. He was a
good deal interested in the description Of the
apparatus, but unfortunately he squinted, and
therefore could see nothing in it but blurred
mixture of images. Lastly, Blot was tried,
but Blot was an earnest advocate Of the cor
puscular theory OF light, and until he could be
assured that the new contrivance did not con-
tradict that theory, he would not see any
thing in it. Under the circumstances, the
wonder is the stercoscope ever got fairly into
France

THE LCuNGER The young man on the

stub of cheap cigar in his mouth, and a stare
for every lady that passes, is loater. DO you
know where he gets money? His father earns

him busy from early morn until evening, if he

want work. If he gets place he neglects his
work, or does it SO poorly he is soon dis

of work he does He is willing that his moth

for him to spend but he is little particular as
to the work he does. He looks down on that
