Every year increases the populari-
ty of this 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 dandruG, and, by it's tonic prop
critics, 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 eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicina.
PRICE One Dollar.

AMONG the recent reforms in Rome is
the abolition of one noted feature of the
Carnival. With full consent of the regal
government, the municipal authorities have
prohibited the Corso del Barberi, or horse
races without riders, very barbarous and
cruel sport, which ought not have survived
bear-bating and cock-fghting. The ami
mails were goaded to their fullest speed by
spiked bullets, SO slung that the faster they
ran the harder they were spurred by PAIN.

ing preparation of lime over timid passen-

tee is very different from that childish
but graceful warfare of flowers, fruits.
and bon-bons of former times. The mod
ern Romans, no doubt, would grumble
over the suppression of this ancient Gus
tom but perhaps the greatest regret will
be that of English, American, and other
sightseeing tourists, who, for long time,
have made a point of being in Rome
during the Carnival "a noted feature in the

THERE are already apparent indications
that during the coming session of Con-
gress attempts will be made to secure
additional revenue from taxation Among
the resources suggested is the replacing
of a revenue duty on tea and coffee, and
the increase Of the tax on distilled spirits
and tobacco. The restoration of the tax
upon tea and coffee would increase the
revenue about 100000. Tt is urged in
this connection that coffee is higher to-day
than it was when it was placed upon the
free list, result, it is claimed, which is
due to the enhanced export duty
levied by the Brazil authori-
ties. An increase Of ten cents per gallon
upon distilled spirits, and of four cents per
pound upon tobacco, would yield an
additional revenue of about $1,000, 900.
1t is believed by the commissioner of
internal revenue that the increase of taxa
lion upon these two articles would not
make the total tax so great as to increase
the inducements for frauds. The duty
upon tea and coffee, and of the increased
taxes upon distilled spirits and tobacco
would yield about S3l ,000, 900 Of additional
revenue.
