HAIR VIGoR.-In comiaon with
many others we have felt lively inter-
est in the investigations which DR..
Aver has been making to discover the
causes of failure of the hair, and to pro-
vide a remedy. His researches are said
to have been much more thorough and
exhaustive than any ever made before.
The result is now before us under the
name of Ayers Hair Vigor. We have
given it trial, and with full satisfaction.
1t equals our most favorable anticipa-
tions. Our gray hairs have disappeared,
or resumed their original color; and a
visible crop Of soft, silken hair has
started on part of the scalp which was
entirely bald.-[Daily Voice Boston

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at
Chicago or indianapolis, how shall we
reach the West? The best Line is ac-
knowledged to be the c., B. Il O., joined
together with the B. q NJ. Railroad by
the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the Burlington Route,
The Main line of the Route running
to Omaha, connects with the great Pa
cifc Roads, and forms to-day the lead
ing route to California. The Middle
Branch, entering Nebraska at Platts-
mouth, passes through Lincoln, the
State Capital, and will this year be
finished to Fort Kearney, forming the
shortest route across the Continent by
over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, d.
verging at Red Oak, falls into line
running down the Missouri through st
Joe to Kansas City, and all Kansas.
Passengers by this route to Kansas,
see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, and, by slight divergence, can
see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remem-
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
"high.gleamins from afar"-its tree
fringed streams-its rough bluffs and
quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the praries further than the eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure TO remem-
Der it, for they have friends among the
two thousand who have already bought
farms from Geo. s. Harris, the Land
Commissioner of the B. & M. r. r. at
Burlington, Iowa, or among the four
thousand home-steaders and pre-emptors
who last year filed claims in the Lincoln
land Office, where "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give us all farm"

ARE the patrons of our public school
aware that every day their children
spend in our elegant new school house,
they are exposing their health because
the furnace intended to warm the build
ing proves insufficient for that purpOse'
Let those who are interested attend to
this, that the proper steps may be taken
ia have this evil remedied, and imme-
diately, for this of all things needs
prompt action. 1t is simply system of
torture to students and teachers to COM
pelthem to shiver through these cold
winer days, in a room insuthciently
warned, resulting in nothing but evil,
for neither teachers or scholars can do
Themselves justice while laboring in an
uncomfortable school room. The at
tenti.n of the school directors is called
to this matter. 1t would seem the bet
ter plan to be to little extra expense
to provide for the comfort of the schools
than to pay dostor bills next Spring.

Hints on Health.

First of all, see to it that you start
right. 1t is vitality important. Avoid
all hereditary taints. BE continually
anxious about yourself. Remember we
are fsarfully and wonderfully made, and
this curious mechanism may at any time
get out OF repair. 1t may break down
altogether. This is death.
BE on the lookout for symptoms
They generally precede disease. Con-
suit your pulse every half hour, and
make sure by frequent personal obser-
vations that your tongue isn't coated
You should weigh yourself at least once
a day, though it is not necessary to test
your lungs more than once a week.
Keep your feet aud your friendship
warm.
Food is very important No man
can live long without it. That China
men succeed in doing it, and laying up
money besides, proves nothing. Your
food should be taken in moderation,
avoiding overeating, to which one is
very prone when dining at somebody
else's expense; and equally cautious not
to eat too little, unless you happen to oc-
cupy seat at a cheap boarding house.
A good, plain, nutritious diet is what
you want. Mention it to your landlady
and you'll probably get it.
| cannot lay down any special rules as
to what you'd better eat. Breadstuffs
are bad. Never eat bread The pro-
cess by which the article is rendered
light and white is very deltterious to
health. Never eat hot cakes-nor cold
ones. Corn bread is fatal. Take to the
wheat in grain; carry some in your
pockets, and chew the food nature de-
signed for you. If your teeth are bad,
or you have none, soak the wheat in
castor oil. For dinner you want some
thing substantial-pork, for example.
It you choose pork, stick to it right
through the year; many a man has
built himself up in the pork packing
business; and then abrupt changes are
dangerous.
For tea something very light should
be taken, such as Holsters and milk, Gu
cumbers and ice cream, or cold mince
pic, pickles and hard cider. Then for
lunch (Which is to be eaten, of course,
Immediately before going to bed), we
have always found plenty Of sourkrout,
Welsh rabbit, picked walnuts, hot saler-
atus biscuit, with London porter and
green tea, very agreeable and soothing.
Take plenty of exercise in the open
air, or in treadlnill, if we'll ventilated
Join circus. Walking is excellent; 50
running, particularly if you can run
ahead of your ticket.

DEATH FROM BLOWING Down

DEATH FROM BLOWING Down A
LAMP CHIMNEY.-The Luzerne Union
records another terrible accident re-
sulting from the too common practice of
blowing down lamp chimney to ex
tinguish the light. The casualty oc-
Cured in Cleveland, Pa, few nights
siDce. Mrs. Elizabeth Stark disrobed
to retire about 10 o'clock. She at
tempted to extinguish her coal oil lamp,
in very common manner, by blowing
down the chimney. The lamp exploded,
throwing over her the blazing liquid,
and in an instant she was enveloped in
flames and was terribly burned. There
seems no end to accidents resulting from
the careless use of kerosene. and people
cannot be too careful how they manage
and handle their lighted lamps.
