CLEANSING GARMENTS BY HEAT,-A
garment can be freed from odor by ex.
posing it to heat for a few hours. Thus
body and bed clothing, and indeed all
vestures, may be rendered fresh and
clean. 1t is only the odors, and not
what remains safter they are expelled,
that makes the foulness in garment.
Any substance deprived of them cannot
be considered filthy or dirty in the true
sense. Ground is not offensive. nor
wood, nor the metals, nor any texture in
Its pure native state. 1t is decomposi.
ton that causes the mischief-a privy, a
rotten carcass, decayed vegetation. 1t
is the essence Of these that we bear about
IN our filthy garments, in our rooms, our
bed clothing, etc. The exhalations and
excrementltlous matter Of the body come
under the same head made worse by de.
composition, which readily takes place.
Soap and water will remove these--more
effectually when heated. Heat alone
dry heat-will remove the odors, which
are thus sent off in volatile state. 1t
requires only what the texture will bear
to DO the work satisfactorily Thus bed
clothing may be used, and body garments
worn, longer by ventilating with heated
air. The skunk's odor may be removed
effectually by exposing for an hour or
two to heat.
Why, in view of this, may not room
be fitted expressly for this purpose, or
some other room temporarily employed ?
"A few hours exposure will in general be
sufficient. Clothes thrown off at night
may thus be treated bed clothes an hour
or two during the day. The sun in its
midsummer fervor, when the air is dry,
is good renovator, but the heat is not
strong enough to do it entirely satisfac.
torily. Garments will bear much
stronger heat.

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 dandruff, and, by its 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 new growth, except in
extreme old age. II 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 purpose.

Wool prospects.


We quote the following from Walter
Brown 4 Sons Monthly Wool Circular,
New York, Oct. lst
The beginning of September was cha.
racterized by continuance of the active
demand which prevailed during the last
half OF the previous month. The inquiry
was almost entirely from consumers, and
as the month advanced, was accompan.
led by steady hardening in the prices
OF wool. Manufacturers had been much
encouraged by the very satisfactory bust
ness done in their productions during the
past few weeks, feeling that at the pres
ent low values of both woods and wool.
ems they cannot suffer materially from
foreign competition.
Trade was evidently progressing in
very healthy direction, when all transac.
tons were brought to standstill by the
sudden panic in monetary circles, which
was sprung upon the public fortnight
ago, and for n time threatened to engulf
the entire financial and business commu.
nifty. Fortunately the commercial inter.
ests Of the country were in thriving
condition, ana merchants having for the
past year or more pursued n conservative
policy, and having enjoyed a successful
trade for the past few months, were able
to remain inactive until the severity Of
the storm had blown over.
In the wool trade the only noticeable
effect was cessation of the activity which
had prevailed. In few instances hold
ers have been willing to make conces.
sons where prompt cash was offered but
on the usual thirty.day or credit basis,
moderate sales have been daily made at
previous ruling prices. The steady de-
mand from manufacturers throughout the
early part Of the month has gradually
reduced the supply of fine feeccs, and at
present the stock of these in the eastern
market is extremely limited Ho'~-'s''
III sUine sections OF the country there are
still large portions of the clip to come for.
ward, and it is not likely that there will
be such scarcity Of domestic woods as
existed two years ago. Before the Wall
street panic there was slight speculative
tendency evident among some operators
and dealers in wool, by which prices
might have been advanced more quickly
than would have been prudent for the in.
tercsts of either dealers or manufacturers.
This spirit of speculation, however, has
been checked by the crisis; and although
there is little doubt thaS prices of wool
will be higher, the advance will probably
be confined to that arising from the le-
climate cause of supply and demaud and
the cost of carrying the wool.
We look for steady trade at about
present rates for the next few weeks. In
our next Circular we may be able to give
an opinion as to the future with more
certainty than the present still unsettled
state Of business will permit. Meantime
we would recommend our correspondents
to forward their woods, and as our stock
Is very light, and the demand from our
customers quite regular, we can safely
promise prompt sales and good market
prices.
