hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the foliicles are de-
stroyed,p or the glands atrophied and :
decayed; 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- 4
ment, it will keep it clean and ndVigorous.a
Its occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray, or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The {.
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO un-
eleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Viger 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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume, ''i'',.,1 '1.1aq

Then let me say few words about cook
ing this vegetable, and tell the way in which
have been the most successful
To boil potatoes, let them lie in cold wa
ter six hours at least before boiling, Twelve
hours for very old potatoes is not too long.)
Then put them in water little salted, and
let the water be kept at moderate boil till
they are done, which should be tested with
fork then pour off the water and let them
stand in the pot till they are dry. Great
care should be taken not to let them boil a
moment after they are done, as it will rem
der them watery
An excellent plan to make old potatoes
mealy is to turn them into cloth and rapid.
y shake them about, or take them ono at a
time in cloth and slightly press them.
The large potatoes should be put into the
pot before the smaller ones, that they may
be equally done. 1t requires from forty TO
fifty minutes to boil old potatoes. New ones
will take half the time.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF FRYING.

Perfect frying is the perfection Of cooking,
but as soon as the fat is not su fiiciently hot
to create the burnt crust around the article
fried, then the fat penetrates it and absolute.
ly prevents cooking from taking place at all.
If the fat is not boiling, bubbling hot, the
process that takes place is not cooking, but
simple drenchng the food with a tepid fat,
and rendering it totally indigestible. 1t
makes no difference how hot the fat is made
afterward, the mischief is done the moment
the fat penetrates inside. All perfectly fried
food has thin, crisp, brown outside crust,
(which has in itself pleasant, relishing
tastel and is perfectly free from even the
suspicion of fat inside, except what was inten-
tionally put there by the cook. All house,
keepers know that to fry well their fat
should be hot. But they do not attend to it
half as scrupulously as they would if they
understood the true philosophy of it. Boil
ing, bubblng hot fat cannot penetrate any,
thing, and cooks to perfection tepid fat
penetrates everywhere, and does not cook at
all, but actually prevents cooking Any
housekeeper who reads this, and chooses to
profit by it, need never put any greasy, fried,
hafcooked and indigestible food upon her
table. The whole secret consists in having
the fat boiling hot before the things are put
in. There is one other condition which fol-
lows naturally from this first one, but which
is almost invariably lost sight of even by good
cooks and that is that the fat should entire
ly cover the article to be fried. The reason
Of this is, that the part not at once covered
by the fat remains cold, cools off the fat near
it, and then absorbs the tepid fat just the
same as if it had never been hot. Frying
pans should be deep, well filled, and heated
to the boiling point, and then it is easy to
turn out fried food crisp, brown, and dry on
the outside, and perfectly soft, moist and well
cooked within. 1t is popularity of the
outside crust of things fried in boiling fat
that the fat itself drips off from it as readily
as water; hence, well fried articles are nei-
tber greasy in appearance nor very greasy in
reality. Frying ought to be as easy as boil
ing.-ChriStian Union.

A TRoTTING WONDER.

We saw the three-y -years-old Lambert filly,
belOngiugto George Hammond, trot last week,
and must say we never saw anything like her.
Her grandsire, (old Ethan Allen,) in his best
days, had no more even, stridy, handsome
way of reducing time to its lowest minimum,
than this filly. If old Rysdick can show a
three-years-old 6lly that can beat her for
beauty or speed, we would like to see her
trot She made full mile on Mr.. Ham,
moLd's half mile track in 2:46 l-2, without
a skip or break, and apparently with great
ease. 1t was the opinion good judges who
saw her, that she could have shortened the
time materially. 1t must be remembered
that this flly has been broken this season,
and consequently has but little training
