THE REASON WHY.-The immediate
cause of premature fading or blanching of
the hair is an obstruction of the oil vessels
which afford the coloring matter The re-
mote causes may be general i'll health,
trouble of mind, etc Hence, in order to
restore its natural color and beauty the oil
vessels must be restored to their normal
condition. 1t is on this principle that Ma
TURE's HAIR RESTORATIVE is compound
ed, and it has proved a complete success
wherever faithfully applied. 1t is not a
poisonous dye, consequently the effect is
gradual, and in severe cases two or three
bottles are necessary to produce the desir-
ed result See advertisements

A STABLE INsTITUTIoN-Just at the
period when all stable men were complain
ing that the horse ointments of the day
were unstable remedies, the Mustang Lin
iment made its entree in Missouri, without
any flourish of trumpets, and within one
year became the favorite embrecation for
the external distempers and injuries of
horses and cattle in all the western and
southern states. From that time to this, it
has never had rival in the estimation of
accomplished horsemen nor is its house
hold reputation as a cure for rheumatism,
neuralgia, sore nipples and caked breasts,
tumors, mumps, sore throat, earaehe,
tOothache, bruises, burns, wounds and
sprains, a whit behind its celebrity as a
horse liniment The mothers of America
know its value, and apply it promptly to
the external injuries Of the rising genera
sion, and in fact there is not city or
township in the United States where the
Mustang Liniment is not regarded by both
sexes and every class, as blessing to the
community.

spring. as would be the case if the
plant had matured its born leaves
in the natural way. Other trees nat
uraliy come nearly to rest by mid
summer; Of which the Norway and
sycamore naples are given as in
stances. The leaves are nearly trans
formed to bud-scales again; but be
fore they quite reach this condition
they 90 on to a perfect leaf growth
again and make quite an addition to
the stem-length before the final grow
ing season closes. There are vet
other trees which do not alter the

in botanical language. the internodes
approach. But about this time the
leaves gradually increase in size and
the internodaI spaces increase in
width. By the fall these leaves are
very large, usually much larger than
any produced in the first or spring
cycle Of growth. The apple tree.
cottonwood and Carolina poplars are
named as instances of this kind Of
growth Some appear to make three
growths year. Some pines do this.
When this occurs in the pines the
cones are borne on the ends of the
first cycle or wave Of growth, one or
two other waves following. Some
pines make but one Of these yearly
growths, and this explains the divi-
sion by scientists Of pines which are
terminal-fiowered and pines which
have the cones lateral. The writer
gives no explanation of the law of
these growths. He thinks it i hard
ly extra nutrition. notwithstanding
it IS the most vigorous shoots which
make the second growths. He con
cludes this from the fact that two
English oak trees about twenty years
old, side by side, one usually making
two growths a year and the other
three. have trunks both Of about the
same size.

AN INTELLIGENT Do,

AN INTELLIGENT DoG.-An Incl
dent that recently occurred in this
city, reminds Us forcibIy of Byron's
eulogy Of his dog, wherein he says,
Mans fTmest friend,
First to welcome and foremost 10 defend.
i family residing near the railroad
allowed a girl, aged five years, to
play about the yard to their residence
on pleasant days with Newfound-
land dog. One day the child ran
away.-all children do so.-and in
her wandering about was accompa-
MED by the dog, who apparently fllt
in duty bound to see that no harm
bttell her. 1t seems that the two
came to railroad crossing; that 4
train was coming, and that it looked
little dangerous. The dog saw the
danger and quickly seized the little
mss 10y the skirts Of her dress, and.
being the stronger of the two, pulled
her back upon the sidewalk and stood
over her till the train had passed.
The little miss scolded and kicked
his shins. bat he didn't let her up
till the danger had passed, when he
trudged on behind her as though no
thing had happened.
