Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it Is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nOurishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigOr,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and [
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

ROMAN SUNDAYS USDERirHE NEW REIGN:
By degrees our Sundays are passing out OF
those happy days of rest, Church going,
and pleasant recreation, which the Sundays
used to be. The new Corners among our
tradesmen take . pride in defying the rules
Of God and the Church by open shops, and
the Government insists, on shops in which
salt and tobacco are sold remaining open
all day. Gavizzi's paper tells us that Sum
days are an invention of priests---wkich is
pretty true, by-the-byel-and that God
does not want them observed. So what
with schools, what with public, sports,
what with the Government works, the pub
lie Offices, the very Parliament dishonoring
Sunday, the progress downward is not
slow. And now we have the learned pro-
fessors of our University giving lectures
to the public in the great hall on Sunday
mornings and afternoons. Last Sunday
there was q lecture on Mushrooms, and
their Uses," just when people are usually
at church, and in the afternoon on "The
Properties of Light.--Roman Ners Letter.

A MAN CARRIES A BARREL OF FLOUR A
MILE.-Patrick Foley, who has shanty
at Sprague, Conn.,, performed an unusual
feat of endurance on Saturday, 22d. A
barrel of eleven dollar -four was the article
at stake, which Foley was to carry on his
back to his shanty, mile distant, stop
ping to rest but once on the route. If he
performed the feat he won the flour, and if
he failed to do it he was to give the party
who bet against him eleven dollars. A
large crowd, numbering over a hun red
persons, gathered to witness the affair, and
bets from one to twenty dollars were freely
made between the friends of both parties.
Foley tied rope around the middle of the
barrel, which was of sufficient length to
pass over his shoulder, and with which he
held the barrel. At eight o'clock he took
the barrel. of flour on his back, and started
off at good smart pace, and in fifteen
minutes walked half of the distance, stop
ped and rested ten minutes, and In twenty
minutes more deposited the barrel of -four
In his shanty, performing the feat hand
somely.
