MN HAIR

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, 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 on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton 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
dandruff, and, by it's tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By it's 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 applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid.
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
setts, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and I consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

A WASHINGTON paper stared recent
ly that The impression prevails among
scientists there that the coming comet is
the cause of the late dry spell of
weather which has been felt so severely
till the la,e rains If such drought is
one of the first fruits of the coming
meteor, we might we'll dread the harvest
of distress and blight in store for us.
But the idea of cometary influence on
the atmosphere can hardly be entertained
by scientific men. The fact has been
we'll attested by a long series of obser-
vations that these eccentric visitants do
not radiate sufficient heat to affect the
most sensitive mercurial thermometer
yet constructed; and from that it would
seem to follow that the popular notions
of their meteorological agency have no
foundation. So far, however, from oc-
casioual long dry spells, the flashing
train has been popularity regarded as the
augury of a bountiful harvest and vim
tage. The comet of 1911 was supposed
to have been the cause OF the prolific
and abundant crops which were almost
universal in the Old and New Worlds.
Even now in the later it is not uncom-
mon to hear of the great comet year,
and wines have sometimes been sold at
a high figure, under the fancy Of some
influence produced by the tail of favo-
rite comet. Il is said by close observers
that other comets of later years have ap-
parsntly had some physical influence in
producing fine agricultural yields, aud
it may be the spectroscope, with its won-
derful powers OF analysis, may, ere long,
enable phyeioists to settle the long-agi-
tated problem of the constitution and
influence of these vast uebulous stiesms.

THE newspapers Of Great Britain
have been declaring that quite re-
duction of the public debt has been
going on for the last three years, the
abatement reaching S60,000,000. Sir
John Lubbock, NJ. P, denies this. and
says that $50, 100000 were only trans
fer from the cbancery and bankrupt
funds, 50 that the real reduction has been
only 100000 or $4,000, 900 a year.
This year the Government will borrow
S17, ,500,0 900, which, therefore, will max e
an actual reduction of $l2,5000O0 in
three years. This figures look meagre
alongside of those showing the reduction
of the debts of the United States in the
same time.

WOMEN AS PRIZE FIGHTERs.-Wh,

WOMEN AS PRIZE-FIGHTERs.-Wh
not? Is it any worse for woman to
fight, smoke, drink, lie, cheat, steal,
gamble, rob and murder, than it is for a
man to do these things? Neither vir-
tue nor vice is matter of sex. 1t per.
tains to conduct. A clergyman in Ohio,
reading in newspaper that two women
were training for a prize-fght, declared
that in all history, even in the antedi.
luvian period, when the earth was filled
with violence, there is no record Of any
parallel to this case. Very true: no
women have ever before undertaken a
prize-fght. 1t is only the men. But
if the men would stop this business who
believes the women would persist in it?
The reverend gentleman calls on the
Christian women to band together, and
at once arrest this horrible outrage. All
right as far as it goes. But we respect
fully suggest that, as we only have a wo-
man prize fight once in six thousand years
(and that only threatened), while we
have prize-fghts almost every day in
the year (not counting the irregular
fights outside of the ring every hour of
the day., the men emplore the men to
stop the fighting among men. When
the men will do this, we will agree to
make all the women in all the earth keep
the peace in this respect for another six
thousand years,-[Science of Health.

CENSUS returns, recently published
show an increase of 100000 in land
value received in the single State of
Pennsylvania since 1860 The quantity
of new land improved in the State in
that period exceeds 100000 acres. In
some staples of agriculture Pennsylvania
holds the first place In few she falls
behind some of the new regions of the
West. Thus, her wheat crop is far ex-
ceeded in quantity by the wheat crop of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. and Wis
consin; while it is nearly equalled by
the wheat crop of California, Michigan
and Minnesota. Her crops of corn are
also much smaller than those of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, aud
Tennessee. But in the estimated value
of all farm products Pennsylvania is only
exceeded by three States, New York,
Ohio, and Illinois, In fruit the orchards
of New York make return of S8,374,-
AIT against return Of S4,208,094 in
Pennsylvania.

COOP MANNERs-Good manners are
the particular distraction of gentleman.
They elevate him in society, and in the
estimation of all worthy people, and cre-
ate for him respect that money cannot
buy. In the education of our children
nothing is more neglected, and to this is,
in large degree, attributable, the grow
ing lack of respect and reverence among
young people for their superiors.
Home is the first school of childhood.
Here they should be early taught to be
polite and we'll behaved,s for the first
mental impressions Of young child can
not be obliterated by correction nor for
getfulness. Parents cannot exercise too
great degree of care in the examples
they set before their children, and in the
manner in which they expose them to
impure and contaminating influences.
The formation of human character is
commonly the result of early associations

THE PUBLIC DEBT.--The public debt
statement shows reduction during the
month of May of about $7,OOO,0CO.
The reduction is less than last month,
owing to the advanced payments on ac-
count of Pensions.
