THE REASON WHY.-The immediate
cause of premature fading or blanching of
the hair is an obstruction Of the oil vessels
which afford the coloring matter. The re-
mote causes may be general i'll health,
trouble of mind, etc. Hence, in order to
restore its natural color and beauty the oil
vessels must be restored to their normal
condition. 1t is on this principle that Ma
ETrRE's HAIR RESTORATIVE is compound
ed, and it has proved a complete success,
wherever faithfully applied 1t is not a
poisonous dye, consequently the effect is
,radual, and in severe cases two or three
bottles are necessary to produce the deslr-
el result. See advertisement

Too Thin For Gasmen.

1t has been ascertained that the
fumes of the purifying rooms of gas
works, will cure the whooping cough.
To test it lady, took two of her chill
dren there. The superintendent of the
works very kindly waited upon her to
the rooms.
After few moments he noticed n
black streak along her forehead, near
the hair, but supposing she had made
it by some crook from her fingers,
thought nothing more Of it, and he
left the parties to inhale the vapors.
When ready to depart, he suggested
to the lady that before she went back
to the city she had better look in
mirror, which she did and was not a
little surprised to find her face as black
as charcoal, from the hair around to
her ears, and under the chin.
After much scrubbing with soap and
water, she succeed in making herself
white. She inquired .anxiously of the
superintendent, who is a family man,
and knows how it is himself, what
could possibly have caused it. He
very politely intimated that it might
be something she put on her before She
came there, which she Indignantly de-
nied--she didn't powder" not she !
Madam" said he, "that's too tim.
You can't cheat the gasworks."

A Human Kangaroo

A Chicago paper well calls the sub
ject of the following sketch "human
kangaroo:"
Coming into the city on a Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy train as it en-
tered the suburbs recently, a youngster
about ten years old, with one leg am
putated to a very brief stump, was OBJ
served handling his crutch briskly
along the side OF the track, evidently
with skilled purpose to get his mo-
mentum up to that of the rapidly mov-
ing train. He did it, and climbed up
on the rear platform, and sat down as
cool as though his feat had not excit-
ed the wonder of score of passengers
who watched him. The appearance
was as if lame lad had taken some
risk to take a ride downward. But at
Canal street he climbed down from his
perch, and went back down the track
with flying leaps, like a kangaroo, with
evident purpose of boarding a long
freight train, already under good head
way in the opposite direction. 1t was
an exploit only the most adroit and
venturesome railway employees would
think of attempting, so great was the
speed of the strain; but again the
brisk monopede achieved it, clung like
a monkey to the iron ladder on the
side of the car, near the rear of the
train, and went up, hand over hand,
with his crutch under his arm. The
next instant he was running or rather
hopping, with long leaps at full speed
along the top of the cars, taking the
the interspaces as easily as boy skips
over a crosswalk. And then we learn
that this midge is the victim of an ex-
traordinary passion for riding on the
cars. OF course he lost his leg in this
way, at the Great Eastern crossing,
eighteen months ago, and was provid-
ed with attendance and light crutch
by the railroad company. Any one
would think the loss of leg would be
lesson for fe-time, but instantly
on recovery he resumed his sport,
which had become passion. Since
that time he passes his whole day in
the manner above noticed. His mis-
fortune has really equipped him with
means Of locomotion with which he
distances all two-legged youngsters.
he captures every train that passes,
takes excursions into the country at
will, sure Of being able to compass
his return in the same way. Rail
road employees scold and put him off,
but his crippled condition secures him
immunity, and as he never mounts a
train until it is in motion, he gives
them the option to stop the train or
throw him off, There is no moral to
the story beyond the mention of the
fact. If the loss Of leg is no lesson
to boys to keep off moving trains,
there seems to be no remedy except to
shorten them at the other end. Per-
haps, after all, it is as we'll for the
trains to carry this youngster as a
prominent advertisement to the other
lads tf the peril Of the practice OF
which they are so noted an example.

Mr.. Samuel Bell, of w. E. Schmertz d
Co, Wholesale Boot and Shoe Manufaclur-
ers, 81 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa, has
been afflicted with chronic rheumatism for
unity years, irom his right hip to his foot,
so painful as to utterly incapacitate him
from attending TO his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gilliland's Pain Killer, he was
finally induced to try it, a second applica-
ton enabled him TO lay aside his crutch,
and third effected permanent cure. Mr.
Bell is popular and well-known citizen,
Is living monument of the effacacy of
that great medical discovery, Gillilands

A Big Dinner.

A couple of fiat -boatmen OH the
Mississippi River, having made an ex-
traordinarily good speculation-made,
in fact, six hundred dollars, II very
large sum to that kind of folk twenty
years ago-concluded that while they
were in New Orleans they would for
once in their lives see what it was to
have real frst-class hotel dinner.
They could afford it, and they would
just like to see how it would go. So
they went to the St. Charles Hotel,
and ordered the very best dinner that
that establishment could afford. When
they had eaten to their complete and
entire satisfaction (and the probable
astonishment of the waiters), they
called for their bill. The waiter in
attendance misunderstanding them,
and supposing that they wanted the
bill of fare, laid it before them, with
the wine-list uppermOst.
"Whew, BillP' said Jerry; "here's
q bill. just look at it! Here, YOU
add up one side, and I'll add up the
other, and we'll see what the old thing
comes to"
So Bill added up the prices of wines
on one side of the list, and Jerry ad-
ded Them up on the other, and they
made the sum total 1854.
"Wh-ew, Bill" said Jerry chats
nigh all we've got. What are we goin'
to do about it?"
ave can't pay that" said Bill; sit
'ud clean us right out. The waiter
amt here now; lets jump out o. the
window and put"
mo. stree" said Jerry, "I'd never
do sich a mean thing as that. Let's
pay the bill, and then go down stairs
and shoot the landlord"
Just then the waiter explained, when
they paid their bill and departed
greatly relieved Of their temporary
embarrassment.

Some very curious discoveries have
been made by medical gentlemen in
the service of life insurance compa-
nies, not generally apprehended by
well'informed physiological savants.
1t is this, viz the children of long
lived parents live little longer than
the parents. If only one is long lived
and the other is from a stock with less
vital force, then the children have a
sort of division Of vitality among them.
One will live to be very aged, while
another falls considerably short of the
life period of the shortest lived parent.
But there is another fact still more
surprising, pretty nearly as well es-
tablished. When a child arrives at
the age at which either parent died,
aside from accidental cause, it will be-
come indisposed, gradually sicken, and
may die. If il survives at that time,
it may pass through similar state of
vital disturbance on or about the an
University of the other parents death /;
but If that is passed, some years more
may be safely predicted as life-lease
for the individual. Laws of Limitation
are not exclusively legislative acts.
Nature established them before con.
gresses and parliaments we're organ
lied.
