This is an age Of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of tho
Evil caused by the use Of injurious compounds
FOR the hair, which are prepared and forced
Into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of tho
injury they are producing. These prepara-
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we

A NATION OF PIGMIEs.-To the south of
Kaffa and Susa there is very sultry and
humid country, with many bamboo woods,
inhabited by the race called Dakos, who
are no bigger than boys of ten years old (;
that is, only four feet high. They have
dark olive-colored complexion, and live in
a completely savage state, like the beasts !;
having neither houses, temples nor holy
trees, like the Gallas, yet possessing some
thing like an idea of higher being called
Yer, to whom in moments of wretchcdness
and anxiety, they pray-not in an erect
position, but reversed, with the head on
the ground, and the feet supported upright
against tree or stone. In prayer, they
say :-"Yer, if thou really dost exist, WHY
dost thou allow us thus to be slain? We
do not ask thee for food and clothing. for
we live on serpents, ants and mice. Thou
hast made us why dost thou permit US TO
be trodden under foot?" The Dakos have
no chief, no laws, no weapons they do
not hunt, nor till the ground, but live sole
ly ON fruits, roots, mice, serpents. ants
honey, and the likei climbing trees and
| gathering the fruit like monkeys; and
| both sexes go completely naked.
"Ihey do not marry, but live lndlscrim-
| native lives of animals, multiplying very
rapidly, and with very little parental IN
stinct. The mother nurses her child for
only short time, accustoming il To cal
ants and serpenls rs soOu as possible; and
when it can help itself, II wanders away
where ii will, and the mother thinks no
more about IL.
"They have thick, protruding lips, Hat
noses, and small eyes; the hair is moi
woolly, and Is worn by the women over
the shoulders. The nails on the hands and
feet are allowed to grow long, like the tai
ons of vutures, and are used In digging
for ants, and in tearing to pieces the SER
penis, which Trey deyour raw, for they are
unacquainted with fire. The spine of the
snake is the only ornament worn around
the neck, but they pierce the ears with a
sharp pointed piece of wood.-Dr. KrapCs

WHAT Is WATER. Before closing may
be permitted to ask and to answer the
question, What is water? | suppose some
of my readers are ready To make the Dog
Der ~y-likc reply, "Water, sir, is water"
That certainly reaches the point by very
short cut. but TO the thinking, inquiring
man ii is not quite satisfactory. Let us an
swcr the question from the standpoint Of
the chemist. Water is rust. The red pow
der that falls from iron which has long
been subjected To the action of moisture, is
rust Of iron. 1t is the oxide of metal, and
so is water. Water is the rust of hydroge-
mum, "A true metal This wonderful Gle
ment no human eyes have ever looked up
on, and probably never will, as in its free
state II exists only in the form of an invs-
ible gas. Quite recently, science has dem
ons,rated oxperimbntally, what has long
been suspected, that hydrogen gas is a
metal, aud capable of assuming a solid
form in alloys. Oxygen, by uniting with
this gaseous metal, rusts, oxides, or burns
II, and water is the rust or ashes. This
strange metal, hydrogonum, and its OK
de, play an important part in all the oper-
ations OF nature. 1t is not alone confined
to the little ball Of the earth upon which
we live, but it exists in the stellar
worlds above us, and in those misty points
of light the nebu@, which have 50 long
pu zzled and perplexed the astronomer and
men versed in the physical sciences. The
recent discoveries by means of the spec
troscope, have proved that this element en-
| tiers | rgely into the uniformed, chaotic
masses of matter, moving in space, of
which the worlds are made. 1t is ready,
when the formative act is fully accomplish-
ed, of taking its place, in combination with
oxygen, as water to aid in the sustentation
of animal and vegetable life upon shores
so far distant that our imagination even
cannot reach them.-Dr. Nichols FireSide

ALsIKE CLovER.-As the time Of sowing
clover seed approaches, it may be well to
call the attention of our readers to the
rarity known as Alsike. Many and vari-
Gus statements have been made OF its value.
As grass-perennial rather than biennial,
of its great growth, sweetness, value as a
feeder of bees, etc. We have grown it,
more or less, in small patches of a rod or
so square, and, while we feel like advising
its trial, we should hesitate TO seed down
five acres with ii looking to a crop for our
stocks support. The following from GLOW
to Make the Farm Pay" it may be well
Tor all to read We believe upon Il fair
trial Alsike clover will recommend itself
hvorably to the farmer, and will be pre-
ferrod to the red, whenever II can be ad-
vantageously grown. This year ii has
been cut six feet four inches in length, and
the average length on one acre was four
feet. Our stock prefers ii TO all other clo-
vers, and the aflerswath does not salivate
our horses and cattle. II should be sOwn

fine growth up. 1t will stay green until

twenty-five years. Few men have had so
large experience in the treatment of chronic
diseases. Dr. Greene is in his ffty-iifth year
