gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that y 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 gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, 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 rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

On Judging Live Stock.

We have frequently been surprised at the
wonderful acuteness of good judges OF 1--we
stock. A horse man will take in at a glance
all the points of a horse, matching him IN
an instant with another he saw six months
before in different State. So correct Is
his eve and Judgment in this respect that
he will pick out the best horse in stable
of fifty by just passing behind them. me
breeder of cattle likewise carries about IN
his eye all the different types of animals.
If a bull or a cow has blemish or defect,
he can place his hand upon it in an IN
slant.
The principles of judging an animal are
few and simple, and, in the main, very
similar for the COW, sheep and p1g-the
meat-producing kinds. Common to all
are the excellences of the sloping shoulder,
the angular quarter, the tail well set on,
the springing rib, the full eye, the We'll,
proportioned, airy bearing of all the head
and neck, the small, fine nose, the strong
loin, the mellow skin, the easy gait, ana
the general mien of dignity and grace.
These are all indicative of the first-class
animal of whatever breed. In addition to
the above points, to be low, lengthy, short.
iointed, broad of beam, are attributes Oh
value in each breed. In fact, we place SO
much value upon the motions OF an amman
"a quality generally OverlOoked-that we
would makeit obligatory upon committee
men at fairs to award no prizes to cattle
that they had not seen travel. Do you mol
know that buyers invariably start crea-
ture off that they may see the gait, before
purchasing? And what magic there ls III
the very touch of a skillful judge OF neal
stock

Rallied Corn in the Ear for Hogs.

An experienced man in Illinois says
that he finds much economy in boiling
corn in the ear, and SO feeding it to his
hogs. He supposes that the alkalies con-
tanned in the cob act upon the finty COW
ering of the grain and soften it, while
they also loosen the attachment OF the
kernel to the cob. Certainly the animals
prefer to have the corn in this fashion.
They fatten faster and keep in finer con-

II Our Moon Inhabited.

But here the question is naturally
suggested whether Il moon, which
is but 10000 miles from us, ought not
nr-l to he examined for signs or, at
lca,t, Of being fitted for the support of
lie. When the telescope was first
invented, it il certain that astrOnO-
mrrS were moro hopeful Of rccognIs-
my such signs in the moon than In
any other celestial body. As tele-
scopes of greater and greater power
were constructed, u satellite WA
searched with more and more eager
sGrutiny. And many II long year
elapsed before astronomers would ne
ccpt the conclusion that the moons
surface il wholly untitled for the sup.
port Of any Of those forms Of life with
winch we are familiar upon earth.
They know that if our satellite has an
atmosphere at all; that %atmospher"
must be SO limited in extent that no
creatures we are acquainted with
couIl live IN it. They know she has
no oceans, seas, rivers or lakes, neith-
cr clouds o rains, and that II she
had, there would he no winds to watt
moisture from place to place, OF to
cause the clouds to drop fairness upon
the lunar fields. They know, also,
tIlat the moons surface il subjected
alternately loa cold far more intense
than that which binds our arctic
regions in everlasting frost, and to a
heat compared with which the fierce
noon Of tropical day il AZ the freshness
Of aspring morning. They search on
~ over the lunar disc for the signs OF
volcanic action, feeling well assured
that no traces Of the existence of liv-
ing creatures will eve be detected in
that dcsolate orb.-The COrnhill

How Money Is Made by Farming.

sober, he Is on the down grade with
loose brakes, aud the end is soon
reached. But farming in its true
sense is a profession equal IN dignity
to that of the law or medicine, and
needs equal study, mental capacity,
and intolligently' directed labor to
command success in it. The princi'
pies which underlie the practice of a
true farmer must be well understood,
and a steady, consistent course of op.
e%ratiOns must be followed. laying

WHERE FLEAs STARTED Fro.

WHERE FLEAs STARTED From
Among the Kurds a tradition is pre-
served that when NOah's ark sprang a
leak by striking against a rock In the
vicinity of Mount Shindsar, and Noah
despaired altogether Of safety, the
serpent promised to help him out of
his mishap IL he would feed him on
human flesh after the deluge had sub
sided. Noah pledged himself to do
10; and the serpent, coiling himself up,
drove his body into the fracture and
stopped the leak. When the pluvious
element was sppeased and all were
making their way out of the ark, the
serpent insisted upon the fulfillment
Of the promise he had received, but
Noah, by Gabriel's advice, committed
the serpent to the flames, and scatter
Ing Its ashes In the air there arose
aeas, flies, lice, bugs, and all such
vermin IS prey upon human blood,
and In this way was Noah's pledge re-
deemed.

to no avail. She still grew worse, until she
was confined to her bed and when she was

would lose power of respiration, and they
were compelled to resort to various means

COUGHING 30 hard she could not OK pectOrate
