OF her sex Is, happily, within the reach OF lovely
woman, and being as discriminating as she is lovely

THE HAND."-Col. A. II. Grnshaw delivered
plain and practical illustrated lecture on 1.-THE
Hand" before the Workngmens Institute, on
Saturday evening. 1t consisted mainly in an
explanation OF the analogy between the bones in
the human hand and arm aud the front leg and
feet (arm and handl OF the horse, deer and mole,
the fin OF the whale and the wing of the bird
He employed diagrams to illustrate his points,
from which the dissimilarity between this mem
Der in man and beast and fish and foul was not
so great as many had supposed. The practical
lily of Colonels lectures is rendering him i'm.
mensely popular with the workngmen. They
would be glad to hear him again soon.

MIoHAEIMAs DAY-Yesterday was what ia
known in the church calendar as the feast OF ST.
Michael, and all angels who are supposed to be
capable Of interceding for men and OF controll-
ing or presiding over certain phases OF their
lives To this idea old writer's trace the custom
in England Of choosing their mag;stracy on st.
eating goose on this day, which is honorsd with
almost religious observance in England, arose
from the fact that Queen Elizabeth, who was
dining of roast goose when she heard Of the
destruction Of the Spanish Armada ordered that
bird to be placed on the royal table every Mi
chaelmas day thereafter.

Every year increases the populari-
ty ofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
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 only reliable and perfect
ed preparation 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. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-gands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State AsSayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and | consider it the BEST PREPA~
RATION for its intended purposes"
