oyoss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair whore the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
lecayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the torma-
ton of dan lruff, which is often SO un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

IL is quite evident that nothing will be done
with the currency question by Congress this ses-
sion, and that the legislation will be confined to
the tariff and the taxes.
From = surface view of the matter il would
seem UNREASONABLE that the oppressive income
tax must be abolished, but deeper look discloses
wheels within wheels by which the tax may be
maintained. The great fight is over the tariff
and while the high taraf men favor the abolition
of the income tax in order TO make a revenue
tariff necessary to meet the deficiency in the
income, the iree-tTadeTs for the same reason
wish to maintain the income tax in Ordex that no
argument for a high tariff can be grounded. So,
alter all the fight deciding the abolition or reten-
ton of the income tax will be made over the
tariff. The free-traders are. however, reinforced
in their opposition to the abolition of the income
tax by some of the western members, who hold
that the tax Is levied mainly on eastern capital,
and Is therefore advantageous to the agricultural
west.

daughters and ran back into the house TO save
her: He had caught her in his arms and was
making his way to the door when the floor gave
way and both were burned to death. Since then
the ruins of the house have been removed. The
mansion was built in the old-fashioned style
with huge fre-places in two of the rooms, the
chimneys slOping toward each other, and joining
before reaching the roof. Walled in the cavity
between the two fire-places human skeleton
in perfect preservation was discovered. An old
fint-lock musket stood at its side, and two rusty
knives lay at its feet. Thcimusket Is of the old
British pattern. 1t supposed that the rem aims
are those of Tory soldier who met his death at

The government bill on primary education, now
Pendngin the Asse mbly, provides for the Obliga-
tory Instruction of children of both sexes from
the age OF six TO the age of thirteen years com
Ilete. Parents, guardians, or other legally
responsible persons, not conforming to the pre-
scripticns of the law, are subject to penalties
beginning with a simple reprimand, rising
through progressive series OF fines of from p
cents to 500. and ending with deprivation of
civil rights for three years. Another section is
notable in that il provides an educational test
for voters. 1t is as follows -" No citizen
arriving at the age of n years on or after Janu-

lists, except on presentation of a certificate of
study. This certificate is delivered to children
at the end of their course. whether in public or

examination proving that they have the obliga-

such certificate, he may obtain his electoral
