The Brooklyn Union says there is not, that
we are aware of, single example of Man
sard roof in New York, and the only approach
to one in Brooklyn, we believe, is that on the
Academy Of Music. They used to be very COM
mon 80 years ago and in the last century. Man
sard is no more dangerous than any other kind,
nor half so much so as the fiat roofs, which
were once almost universal in New York. The
great towering structures composed mostly OF
pine wood placed on many of the new houses
in New York are not Mansards at all, and the
objection to them is not in their shape but in
the material of which they are composed. The
only fire proof buildings in the city are these:
The old Custom House, now occupied by the
sub-treasury. II is constructed wholly of white
marble, with iron ratings and shutters, and the
roof is covere by marble ties The new Custom
House is similarly constructed, and the Custom
House is built entirely of granite and brick
with brick dome; and the banking house OF
Brown Bros, is built of marble and iron. Ii
nearly all of New York were to be consumed
these buildings would resist the flames. Brook
lyn contains no fire-proof buildings that we
know of, except the tower of East River bridge.

The CULTURE OF THE HAIR.-Just as surely
as a soil infested with Canadian thistIes can be
made to produce fine crops of golden grain, the
scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry,
unmanageable hair may be made prolific of
silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect
the change in either case is the right kind of
fertilizer. Leaving the agricultural chemists
to determine how the barren land shall be
fruitful, we positively assert that Lyons Ka-
thairon is unequaled as a fertilizer and beouti-
fer Of the hair. Twenty-Five years of success is
the basis of this unqualified statement Dur
ing that time it has been used by many millions
of both sexes, and the first instance in which it
has failed to fulfil the expectations of ration
al purchaser has yet to be discovered. 1t will
not cause hair to grow on vanished gourd
but where ever the roots of the hirsute fbers
remain undisturbed it will cause them to put
forth new shoots, and in all cases where the
hair has become thin it will increase its vol
