A new artificial stone, invented by
Rev. III. HighEcn, is described by En-
cheering: "Plle process of manufae-
ture consists in mixing broken granite
with hydraulic cement and sleeping
the whole when set In g solution of
silica. Two kinds OF granitea are used,
Mount Sorrel iIBd Guernsey. This Is
broken up into small fragments on the
works. It Is then mixed with Port
land cement in the proportions of four
of granite to one Of cement, sufficient
water being adedto render It ola pasty
consistency. In this state It is filed
into the mOulding frames, and allowed
to stand for four days to dry. It is
then taken from the mould and placed
in a solution Of silicate Of soda, where
it remains for two days, when it lis
ready for the market. The ma
terial produced is known as the Vic
toria stone, or petriied concrete, and
the objects moulded from il, are flag
cling, sinks, miInteipieceS, coping and
c~ap-stOnes, sills, stairs, and such ike
articles. It is not 80 applicable for
finely cut mOuldings. A slab.of
the concrete two feet wide and two
inches thick, resting loosely On sup
ports two feet apart, viii bear in ten
days time an average weight of 700
pounds in the center. After having
been stepped in the silicate bath, twill
sustain more tlEan 1000 pounds, whilst
IN five month 10 it viii carry 100
pounds, and a nine months 2400
pounds. The crushing strength was
found By Mr.. Kirkaldy to be 6441
pounds per square inch. A block pre-
sentiBg q suriaee Of six inches by nine
inches sustaine1a weight of nearly 100
tons. At q L1ndea brewery il has

which was cons tantly broken by the
rough handling Of barrels. Since the
Victoria stone has been lad, no enc
slab has been broken."

Ayouth sat weeping, silently.
Upon his woful face,

And sought his peace in vain.

He did so and a little while
His life was pure and free
From evil thoughts. temptations power,
And all unchRsity;
But soon. by guilty pleasures dart,
His heart again vas riven,
Once more he fell, but BY his friends
He was once more forgiven.
And there was one. through ali his guilt.
Forever at his side,
Who strove, with more than human love,

"THE MORNING GLORY {"
Littlefeld's Patent Improved Base
COAL STOVE.

In this pattern Of TBE MoRSISG GLORY.
several new and important features have
been embodied. which can only be seen to
be admired. This new stove is made en-
iircly Of cast iron. so fitted as TO be alright,
but can be made with sheei-iron upper
section when preferred by the purchaser.
Its ornamental finish is drapery, making II
a handsome piece of furniture. far more so
than any stove heretofore made. Its in.
ternal construction. though resembling
some Of the former patterns Of The Morning
Glory is quite different. making IL more
durable and far less difficult TO be repaired.
The castings are of the highest order. fully
equaling the hnest castings made in this
country.
Among the many ADVANTAGES in the use
Of the Morning Glory arc the following -
I, Continuous Burning. 9. Quality OF the
Heat. 3. Ventilation through the stove
4, Antitrust Stove. 6,No Escape Of Gas.

g'oss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and

saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so, that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep il clean and vigorous.
lts occasional use will prevent the hair
