Struck by Lightning

the rain on Friday evening of last week, the
neighborhood of St. Michars was startled
by terrific crash. Looking out our office
window we discovered fire falling upon and
rolling of the roof of the Church. This
lasted but moment as the rain was falling
densely The lightning struck the uEfin-
ished tower, and was probably diverted
therefrom by the conductors on other por-
tons of the cditicc, thus preventing further
damage than knocking of some splintcrs,

Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. Itremovcs all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MID, State Assayer of Massachu-
setts, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and | consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

Hints for The Housewife.

AppLe SnoO.-Pare and core twelve
apples, steam until tender, set the ap-
Piles aside to cool, then pour over them
a whip made of the whites of three
eggs beaten to stiff froth. Serve with
sugar and cream favored with extract
vanilla.
Hyacinths all W;nter.-The hyacinth
is one of the most beautiful and fragrant
of the bulbous flowers, and pat ticularly
desirable for house culture. Even half
a-dozen grown in pots and towering
during the winter, will afford more
pleasure to the "loved ones at home"
than the same amount of money spent
in any other way. With how much
pleasurable anxiety they watch the
shooting forth of the bright leaves, the
rising of the stately column; while the
opening of the first bud makes joyful
thanksgiving of the most dreary win
ter's day. A very small pot will answer
for the hyacinth. Some prefer to plant
three or four in large pot, and this
will make a very pretty ornament.
Cover only the lower half of the bulbs
with soil, press them down until they
are nearly covered, then water until the
soil is moistened thoroughly, and set
the pots in cool, dark cellar. The
roots will there form, with but little
growth of top. Here they may remain
for several weeks, and pot or two at
time can be taken into warm, light
room, for Towering, week or ten days
apart, and a succession OF tiowers OBJ
tanned during most of the winter.

The Foundation Knocked from Under
British AriStOcracy,

A Mr.. James Philippe, of Bedford
Row, London, has made startling an.
nouncement through the English pa
into hundreds of aristocratic families.
What Colenso has done to the Penta-
teuch, Mr.. Philippe has done to the
companion volume, the British Peer
age. He has discovered that "nearly
the whole Of the pedigrees hitherto pub
lisbed are fictitious" and the geneo-
logical MSS. in the British Museum
" simple trash :" while "as for the Her.
AIDS College having any right to grant
coats of arms, it is SO absurd that it is
wonderful that any person should be
such an addle-headed donkey as to en-
tertain any such humbug." This is
awful. If no man can be sure of his
own ancestors, and no peer swear to his
own crest and quarterings, it is obvious
that the foundation is knocked from
under the whole social and political
system of the British Empire. There
may be plebeians in the House of
Lords, and vulgar blood may mingle
with the blue ichor of royalty itself.
OF course, when this happens, it is all
up with old England. And as for the
ambitious people-Americans especially
who at great expense have obtained
from the Heralds' College, or whatever
the proper office may be, gorgeous
pedigree certified by John Brown or
some other distinguished individual,
with something tremendously ridicu-
lous under his sign-manual in tn
shape of a Green Dragon, Twoheaded
Elephant, etc." we do not envy their
feelings when they discover that their
roll of ancestors is pure invention, and
for aught they know about it they may
not have had great-grandfather to
bless themselves with.

SmaII-POx and Vaccination.

The City Sanitary Inspector of New
York, in report on contagious diseases,
says with reference to the smallpox:
It is the unanimous opinion and ex-
preston of the medical officers of this
Department that vaccination is not only
safe, but certain preventive of small
pox, when properly, carefully, and judi
ciously performed; and, as proof Of
it's protective value, it may be stated
that among over 100000 persons vacci-
mated by the Health Inspectors of this
Bureau during the past year, there has
not yet been found one who has con-
tracted smallpox, or it's modified form,
who had been successfully vaccinated
previous to becoming infected, while
numbers have fallen victims to this dis
ease who refused to allow the Inspectors
to vaccinate them at the time of ex-
posure. We are fully convinced that
this extraordinary success is due in a
large measure to the fact that vaccine
virus has while in fresh and active
condition only, has been used no crust
or scab has ever been used by us. Our
practice has been only to use such virus
as has been taken from 1. wellselected
healthy child, the afternoon previous,
rejecting that which had become 72
hours old. A supply of bovine virus,
direct from the animal, was used to a
limited extent during the past summer,
which gave no better result than that
from children's arms, and as its propa-
CATION was attended with much diff
Guilty, and sufficient supply could not
be obtained for our large demand, ex-
cept at a great expense, it was aban-
doned. In the use of childhood lymph,
with the results as proved by our statis-
tics of successful vaccination and re-
vaccination, certainly no man should
cavi4. The absolute protection afforded
so large number of persons of whom
by far large majority had been exposed
either directly or indirectly to this fear
full disease, should go far to convince the
most skeptical of its inestimable value.
TO the carelessness and neglect of pa
rents and physicians, and the opposition
of the misinformed, uninformed, and
injudicious, may be attributed, in q
large measure, the success Of an cpl
demic form of this loathsome disease.
