THE HARVEST OF THE HEAD.-When the
comb acts as a rake, bringing away roll of
parted fibers every time it passes through the
air, badness would soon be inevitable But
even in this case forlorn as it may seem, the
mischief can be arrested, the loss repaired.
Lyons Katharion, aided by brisk application
of the brush to promote the absorption of the
fluid by the scalp, will stop the thinning-out
process in forty eight hours The roots from
which the dead filaments were shed will soon
be re-endowed with vitality, and new growth
will speedily spring up on the denuded places.
This work of reproduction will go on until tho
damage is completely repaired, and the luxu-
RANT crop of hair thus produced will never
wither or fall out as long as the vitalizng ap
plication is regularly continued.

Two PICTURES. There are st Schumacher's
art gallery two of the finest landscape paint
ings ever exhibited in Maine They are from
Sommer's brush, and represent scenes in the
Connecticut valley. One is the picture of a
waterfall. The stream is falling down Jagged
broken rocks, over which the blasted trunk of
gigantic pine is hanging The ravine through
which the stream is flowing, formed of brown
rock with clinging shrubs, shows fine hand
ling of color in mass, while the details are
faithfully worked up. The other is picture
broader in its scope, representing a great range
of hills whose shadows are projected into the
valley in the foreground. Overhead is low
cloud-mottled sky. The scenery is sketched
with freer hand, while minuteness of detail
is disregarded in favor of general effects The
paintings are of class which invites some
thing more than cursory glance

How Gossip Increases.

How gossip increases and grows until 1t gets into genuine scandal, and is en- tirely different from the original story, is told by letter writer. He says that he was told that if he ever took house in terrace little way out of town, to be very careful that it was the center one. For one must be we'll aware that story never loses by telling, and, consequently, if be lived in the middle of TOW of houses, it was very clear that the tales which might be circulated to his preju- dice would only have half the distance fore could only be half as bad by the time they had got down to the bottom of the terrace as the tales that might be circulated of the wretched individual who has the misfortune to live at either end of it. As an illustration of this he was informed of lamentable case that actually occurred short time since.
 The servant of No. told the servant of No. 2 that her master soon expected his old friends the Bayleys to pay him Q visit and 2 No. told No. 3 that No. 1 expected to have the Bayleys in the house every day; and No. told No. 4 that it was all up with No. l, for they couldn't keep the baliffs out. Where upon No. 4 told No. that the officers were after No. l, and that it was as much as he could do to prevent himself Icing taken in execution, and that it was kill ing his poor dear wife; and so it went on increasing until it got to No. 32, who confidently assured the last house, No. 33, that the Bow street officers had taken up the gentleman that lived at No. for killing his poor dear wife with arsenic, and that it was hoped and expected that he would be executed. d.-London Paper.

INsANITY.-The question of what is insanity is one which probably will await solution until the end of the world. In the meantime, however, some interesting information on the point was given the other day at mur- der trial at Memphis, when an attempt to establish insanity was made on the part of the defence. Dr. l. K. Allen, being called as an expert, gave the fol lowing testimony :-'t I have," said Dr. Allen, (" been practising physician for nearly thirty years. I have had some experience in cases of insanity, having been for ten years medical superinten- dent of the Kentucky Lunatic Asylum, and during that time had over 2,000 crazy people under my charge. have heard the hypothetical case read by MT. Phelan. I am here as an expert, and before answering the question would like to say that the more studied the question of insanity the less under stood 1t, ,, and if you ask me where il begins and where it ends, neither nor any physician in the world could tell you in fact, on occasions like this lawyers make fools of themselves in |, trying to make asses of doctors"

A Matin Lay,

Hark! All the woodland rings Joyous with song; Roses the morning filings,
 PeaTl-clouds along. When shuts thy lattice, dear, Nv suu is set, ... And until thou appear Day is not yet. With thee all good things wake Harm from thee flies, AS reptiles haunt the brake Till the day dies. Thou, to my heart alone . Bringest delight; Der it when thou art gone
 Falleth the night. Flashing the reaper's scythe Glints in the sum-; Flocks o'er the meadows blithe Ganbol and run . Bright buds to tempt thine eyes Smiling expand; Fruits clad in summer dyes Wait but thy hand. Sweet though the lute may be, Touched not, 'tis mute; Waiting thy minstrelsy,
 My hearts the lute. Thoughts that, bcreft of worlds, There silent throng, Do thou but wake the chords, Burst into song.

FLOWERS. .-The delicate odor of pinks and other flowers may be obtalned by the following process :: Take a glass funnel,with the narrow end drawn to a point. In the funnel place Jumps of ice with salt, by which a very low temper ature is produced. The funnel is sup. ported by an ordinary retort stand, and placed near tlle Towering plants, when water and the ethereal odor of the blos- som is deposited on the exterior of the glass funnel and trickles down to- the point, from which it drops at intervals into glass vessel below. The scent thus obtained is very perfect and interesting, but is apt to become sour in a few days unless some pure alcohol is adde6 By this process many odors may be pro- cured for comparison and study, To obs tain the odor in perfection the blossom must be in it's prime. ........,r ..'.,-.r..

Coop NEWS FOR SoME.--Better than all ouack medicines is the invigorating power of the sun. Here is bit of news for bald-headed people. Says o writer from the silver mines of Montana. "A friend of mine who had the misfortune to be bald-heqded, knowing that, there is a, wonderful invigorating power in the suns rays, last spring threw away his hat, and work ked in the gulch all spring, summer and fall, bareheaded, and also for, the first few days at midday. For a few days the rays of the hot sun on his head were almost unbearable ;; after that time, he experienced no uneasiness whatever. The result was that in the fall he had a | good head of hair. And in this siexperi- I ment he was not alone--seyeralsiofl his acquaintances who were bald-headed hay. ing followed the same plan were all fortunate enough to experience the same ] result"

WoU1DN'T KNEE1 TO THE POPE. -- Mrs. Flora White, well known in the fashionable world forty years ago, was one of the most beautiful and accom- plished women of her day. She was the daughter of General Adair, of Kentucky, and her first husband was Joseph Nj. White the second delegate sent to Con- gress from the Territory of Florida. Highly educated, full of genius and with the manners and bearing of a queen her society was courted by the most elevated circles in Washington, New Or leans, New York and Boston. She was brilliant conversationalist, ready and effective at repartee, and sincere, warm-hearted and gentle woman of the most generous impulses. On one of her visits to Rome she was presented to the Pope. "Kneel, my daughter" said he, as she stood erect in her imperial grace before him. stAll kneel to me except the daughters of sovereigns." "I am a princess in my own right, your Holi- ness," she replied. "How can that be when you are an American born?" 'In my country the people are sovereigns, and I am the daughter of the people. The Pope smiled a gracious assent re- joining. Then receive an old mans | .blessin0,"

THURSDAY, May %.
BEEF CATTLE-The market this
week opened rather earlier than last
week, and some few sales were effected
at about the rates Of last week; but
later, when it got fairly under way,
there were signs of weakness, and II
became very dull. As it progressed,
very tardily, prices gave way tote per
10 as compared with the sales OF last
week, and the larger part of the offer
ings were closed out last evening at the
decline above indicated, the better
grades being most affected. The gen.
eral quality of the offerings this week
was superior to that OF last week,
there being very few common
cattle on the market. Prices to-day
for beef cattle ranged as follows: Best
beeves 81 25@S 90; that generally
rated first quality S. 00@7 25; medium
or good fair quality s. 00@6 90; Or
binary thin steers, oxen and cows
81 624@5 CO.; inferior and lowest
grades Of cattle 80 00@3. 00-general
average of the market to-day Sc 10;
extreme range of prices 50 009S %.
Most of the sales were from Sc 90 TO
I 90 per 100 lbs. Of the receipts "
head came from Maryland, 1888 from
Illinois, and IL from Virginia-total re.
ceipts for the week 1877 head, against
Ohio, 339 from Pennsylvania. 1874 from
S26 last week, and 1913 head same time
last wear. OF the offerings S4l head
were taken by Baltimore butchers, lis
head sold 10 Washington butchers, and
Is to country dealers-total sales for the
week 97S head, against S25 last week,
and 500 head same time last year.
SHEEP AND LAMBS-The mar
ket this week has been somewhat over
stocked with sheep, and prices in con-
sequence have declined. Some drovers,
not satisfied with the figures, have re
shipped their stock to Philadelphia and
New York, about 1000 head having
gone on to meet the risks of those mar
kets. There is no change at the close
from the previous dullness, but prices
show an inclination to yet lower figures.
We quote common to good at 43@54c,
and good to extra at 5i@63c per ID
gross. Lambs dull; we quote at 81 80
"a so per head, as to size and quality.
HOGS-Arrivals this week exceed
the full number Of last week, notwith-
standing which they have been only
about equal to the demand, but prices
show no material alteration since our
last report. The average weights OF
the hogs are medium, just suited to the
needs Of the season, which measurably
accounts for the free demand for good
corn-fed hogs; stillers ere in rather
light supply, aud slow OF sale. We
quote corn,ied hogs at Sc 00@6 80, and
still led at S. 1906 90 per 100 lbs net
