This is an age of inquiry and people arc
beginning to realize the magnitude of tho
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
INTO market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware of the
Injury they are producing. These prepara-
tions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles. we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. X. Greene, Superintendent of the Dos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been a sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than a
quarter of a century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility of injury
81 hare tested a sample of DR.. Greenes Hair
ReStorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
Injurious matters erist in IT,.
c. T. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
five years has tested its superiority as dress
Ing, and its power TO preserve the hair and
scalp in a healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruf, prevents the hair from falling off,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes Its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Rcstorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. 1t is
prepared by DR.. Il. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
81 per bottle, or six for So, or sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet
sent free. Address DIR. X. Greene, "a Tenn

RULES FOR RESTORING HALF DROWNED
PERsoNs.-Send at once for a doctor, and
for blankets and dry clothing, but go to
work Immediately on the body in the open
air.
The first things to be done are to try to
start the breathing again, and to stop the
body from getting colder; and next after
breathing commences again TO make the
body warmer and to get the blood in circu-
lation. Do not stop working with the body
even if there are no signs of life for two or
three hours. Persons have been brought
back to life after that time.
Place the body face downward, with one
of its arms under the forehead, when all
fluids run out of the mouth, and the tongue
will fall forward and leave the windpipe
open; wipe out and clean the mouth.
If breathing does not then Begin turn
the body, quickly, well upon its side, and
tickle the nostrils with snuff or hartshorn,
or the throat with feather, if they are at
hand. Rub the chest and face warm and
dash cold water on them.
1t there is still no breathing, do not lose
a moment, but turn the body back on the
face, raising and supporting the chest well
on coat or some other piece of clothing
folded up to make a thick cushion.
Turn the body very gently on the side
and little beyond the side and then quick
ly back on the face again; doing it care
fully about fifteen times a minute, or once
every four seconds, and changing the sides
on which it is turned once in a while.
Turning the body on the chest forces the
air out, and turning it back on the side A.
gain allows it to enter, and these motions
initiate breathing.
Every time that the body is turned on
the face press hard and quickly on the
back between and below the shoulder
blades on each side, stopping just before
the body is turned back on the side again.
The result, if not to late, will be natural
breathing and life.
AT the same time that the above is being
done the body must he kept from getting
colder and to do this bare the face, neck
and chest (unless in cold weather) and dry
them with handkerchiefs, or anything
handy, and then dry the hands and
feet; also, strip the body and cover with
blankets or other warm covering, but
if no covering can be had take dry clothes
from the bystanders and reclotho the body,
taking care not TO interfere with those who
are trying TO restore the breathing.
After natural breathing has begun again.
rub the arms and legs upward firmly and
hard, with the hands grasped around them,
using handkerchicfs, hannels, etc. Do this
under the COVERING or over the dry cloib-

SKILLED L.gBOR.

When you bring me something 1 cannot
do without you command my money! my
money does not command you. Labor and
capital is false distinction. Labor is capt.
tai. Braln-power is capital. Is not an edi-
tor a capitalist? The note-of-hand of the
New York Tribune is as good paper as
can be found on Wall or State streets, is
excellent security for deposit. If 90 per
cent. of business men fail, why should the
skilled mechanic be so anxious to enter
their ranks? If women are less successful
than men in many pursuits, is it not that
women begin, but men 90 on? Let woman
prove herself capable of her own support,
and then all hail for the new Declaration of
Independence. Are rich parents able to
provide for her Rich to-day is often poor
tomorrow; but an industrial education is
inalienabe capital. Employers say that
unskilled labor strikes. Is there no social
duty TO make it skilled2 l doubt if capital,
so-called, be as happy as labor. Labor
more than study will keep down morbid
fancies and does poverty alone break the
law ? is the Commune or the International
more hostile than the POLITICAL military,
railway ring? We cannot suppress crime
by law. If we try to lcgislate drunkenness
out of society, how do we succeed? If we
shut up dram shops, forbid the importa-
ton or sale of liquors, put as Father Tay
lor said, all the alcohol in cave and roll a
planet to the door of it, yet we shall find
the appetite not dead or subdued an evil
angel of horrible resurrection, ready to roll
away the stone, and sitting upon it to mock
us. We shall never regenerate society till
labor ceases to be irksome, is rid Of its ban,
and loses its burden in blessing. To labor
will be to enjoy, when labor is combined
with deftness, and enjoyment is born Of
activity. This state of things will come by
the same train with Industrial Education,
ana Health will also be passenger Peace
will reign, too in this good time coming.
The North was 10th to fight, because ii was
dilgent and rich the South willing, be-
cause lazy and poor Riches are an ant-hill
which the hoof of battle will crush and
the power of labor to increase values is
proved by the comparative prices of iron
as crude metal, as nails, as needles, and as
watch springs. All hail to material science!
Give her line without limit. She will
never hang herself or us with the rope.
Her mortal steps lead TO Immortality; and
her resurrection is of no one dead body
but of myriads into loi1ier forms ten
thousand Elijahs go up in her chariot of
nre.-ESSdy Of G. 4. Bdrtoi.

BORROWING TooLs.-A Poultney cores
pendent of the Country Gentleman writes
in condemnation of bad practice, as fol-
lows:
wish to enter my protest against that
execrable habit of borrowing tools, aud the
dishonest appendix thereto of not prompt
ly returning them. Every farmer knows
how trying it is to patience to find a need
ed tool has been lent and not returned,
and in every community there are persons
who seldom return n borrowed article
prom ptly, if at all. If there is anything
short of downright stealing that is mcaner
than this habit of borrowing a neighbours
tools and then keeping them till the owner
calls Tor them, should like to know what
1t is.
! have n case in mind that will illustrate.
This spring / desired TO NOV my lawn,
but my scythe was missing; I searched
for ii for an hour ffuitlessly, and then
commenced calling on my neighbors. At
last | found it in nca' neighbours barn,
in very bad condition, he having taken
it last fall without my knowledge, and
kept 1t all winter, out Of doors! VIII you
please tell me if you think he stole my
scythe? Again, a neighbor came to Dor
row my sand-screen during the spring,
while l was making my seed beds. | lent
the screen on the express condition that it
should be returned promptly the next
day, but instead of so returning it, he
retained it eight days, during which
picked the gravel stones out Of my hot
beds and cold frames by hand, instead of
sitting the soil /; as he lived mile distant,
l could not Ego for him." When he did
return it, he remarked, in the most child
like and bland manner, that if wished TO
borrow anything he had l could do so any
time. Query? Should l have kicked
him?
i once had an iron cr0wbar, but for the
past year it has been missing. 1 suppose
il is lent to somebody. If he is honest O.
nough to he a paying subscriber to the
Country Gentlemen, l sincerely trust he
will read this article, and then return my
bar Query No. 2: Do other people suffer
in this way, or do I reside among an ex-
cepional people?

USE OF STRYCH1NE FOR DISEASE

USE OF STRYCHINE FOR DISEASE OF THE
EYE.-About year ago Professor Nagel
of Tubingen, published reports of cases in
which he had, by the use Of strychnia, re-
stored sight to patients suffering from de-
cay of vision or from blindness. Strychnia,
as is well known, is deadly poison, but
it has Il wonderful effect in stimulating the
nerves; and Professor Nagel found that in
diseases oftheo pticnerve, whether function
al or organic, its operation is alike speedy
and etiicacous. The quantity used was of
course exceedingly small, one fortieth of a
grain, mixed with water, ard this solution
is not to be swallowed, but is injected I'M
der the skin of one of the arms, which
seems TO render the result more remark
able. This remedy has been tried by oc-
culists elsewhere with marked success.

Mary, let's kill the fatcd calf and celebrate the day
For the dreadful mortgage on the farm at last ia
wiped away;
have got tho papers with me- they right right
can be-
Let us laugh and sing together, for the dear old farm
Is free.
Don't all the Yankees celebrate the fourth day of July,
Because twas then that freedoms sun lit up our
Nations SKYE
why shouldn't we then celebrate. and this day neer

where is there any freedom like being out Of debt?
I've risen many mornings an hour before the sun,
And night has overaken before the task was done
When weary with my labors, twas this thought that
nerved my arm,
Each day Of toll will help to pay the mortgage ON the
farm.
And Mary, you have done your part in rowing to the
shore,
By taking eggs and butter to the little village sore
You did not spend the money in dressing show,
But sang from morn till evening in your faded Calico
And Bessie, our sweet daughter-God bless her loving
heart,
Tho lad that gets her for wife must be by nature
smart
She's gone without piano, her lonely hours to charm,
To have hand in paying off the mortgage on the
farm.
III build little cottage soon to make your heart re-
joice;
III buy good piano to go with Besso's voice;
You shall not make your butter with that up and
down concern,
For I'll go this very day and buy the finest patent
churn.
Lay by your faded calico, and go with me to town,
And get yourself and Bessie new aud shining gown
Low prices for our produce need not give us now
alarm,
Spruce up little Mary, there's no mortgage on the
farm!
While our hearts joyful, let us, Many not
forget
10 thank the God in Heaven for being out Of debt,
For He gave the rain and sunshine and put strength
into my arm,
Aud heightened out the days to see no mortgage on
the farm.

A LADY INvENToR.-Miss Maggie
Knight, of Holyokc, Mass, has originated
and successfully patented a square-bottom
paper bag, which is without doubt dcstin-
ed to supersede all other styles tor the gen.
eral use of crocers and others, the nven-
ton securing far greater convenience in
handling, and additional strength. Miss
Knight has now further increased the val
ne of her discovery by inventing ma
chine for folding the bags, which has also
been patented, and the first large machine
is now building at the Ames Co.'s machine
shop in Chicopee. The machine is design
ed TO do tho work of thirty girls, cutting,

Dear Sir: AS you are undoubtedly aware,
your opponentsin the press charge that you
are in contact with and under the influence
of politicians of doubtful character; that,
If you are elected president, such men
would be likely TO be appointed to influen-
tial offices; and that, therefore, the cause
of reform has nothing to hope from YOU
In your letter of acceptance, you promise
thorough reform of the civil service, in
general terms. The question of how the
problem of civil service reform presents
itself TO your mind is one Of great interest,
and l would suggest, II II ho consistent
with your views of proprictv, that you
give me such explanations as will put your
intentions in this respect in clear light.
