We cut from the Northern Border the
following interesting account of the bust
mes, Of j. IL. Clerguc of Bangor, whose
Advertisement will be found in another
column.
As many things OF interest may be seen
and learned there. we will walk over and
interview him. He was born In France
and all know how Frenchman seems to
Inherit suavity of manner and att end to
the recognized forms of politeness with a
spirit of intuition. We find him to com
bine, with his polteness, rare degree of
acuteness and intelligence in regard to
everything appertaining to his business.
He manufactures and deals in human hair
goods of every description. His present
help, besides himself, in his store and
work-room, are six persons. We find that
nothing but general survey can be taken
among such a multiplicity of wigs, switch
eS, natural seams, puts, rats and other
things, now in vogue for head dressing
We are informed that France, Spain and
Italy furnishes almost the entire hair crop,
which finds Its way TO the United States.
France Is the great exporting market. Ii
is bought and sold there on regular fair
days, as is the custom In that country.
The Peasants, who go bareheaded and
nave no lear OF sun or air, furnish the
most beautiful, long and luxuriant tresses.
\ new gown, or Some other need, some
times tempts them to part with natures
covering. A few long hair switches, as
black and glossy us the raven, we were
informed were made from the hair of
Spanish peasant girls. Twenty eight diff
fercnt shades of human hair are recogniz-
ed but the variations are numerous.
Before being exported. il is cleansed
and dressed BY packing in lime and after
wards treated by soap applications. The
distinct appearances, that certain diseases
cause the hair TO assume, is well under
stood by Mr.. Clergue. Various lots were
produced to verify his knowledge in that
matter.
Different methods of head dressing have
much to do with the health of the wearer:
and his rats. which are composed ofcurled
hair and very light, we should term physi-
illogical rats, not likely to swelter the
head. and induce brain fevers and other
ills. With the long experience of % years

DR.. ScHENoK's 8 STAsDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are SoHENcK's PULMoSIC
SYRUP, SoHEECK's SEA WEED TONIC and
SoHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS; and, if
taken before the lungs are destroyed, q
speedy cure is effected. To these three
medicines, DR.. J. n. Sohenck, Of Phila-
delphia. owes his unrivaled success in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonio Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it off by on easy cxpcctoration; for when
the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
TO enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used. to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the
food ana prevents souring. It assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, 80 that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the luhgs heal, and the pa
tient will surely get we'll, if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do 30
at his principal Office, corner OF Sixth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday. Schenck's medicines are sold
by all druggists throughout the country.

A New Way of Breaking Colts.

From the Dayton journal,
When in Kentucky last week we
say q two year colt broke-dead
broke-in half an hour. so that he
worked as amiably as a trained
horse. The colt had never been
bridled. He was attached 10 a cur
ricle called "break -dray," and put
through astonishingly quick. The
break dray is nothing more than a
strong broad-tread dray, with long
shafts, the tail omitted, and a spring
seat between the wheels. The har-
ness was strong and SO arranged over
the hips as to prevent the possibility
of high kicking, and the colt was
hitched so far from the dray that his
heels coald Lot possibly reach the
driver. The process of hitching was.
of course, very delicate. as colt is
excessively ticklish, and is apt to let
his heels fly awkwardly.
All being ready, one man held the
colt, and another took the seat and
reins. The colt was then let TO
plunge as he pleased. The breaks
dray-whch was so broad thar up
setting seemed out Of the question
was pushed upon the colts. and the
colt pushed sideways until he started.
A few plunges settled him, He went
as he pleased up bill and down, and
80 on, until he fiunaIlv struck sober
trot, and was thoroughly broke.
The confused look OF that colt was
pitifully amusing.
Mr.. Bob Strader was giving di-
rections. and upon one of the breokers
raising his hand to slap the cult to
urge him, Mr.. Strader said /: ,"Don't
dc that. Never strike a colt when
you are breaking him. Push him
sideways, or any way. Let him go
lust where lie will and how he will.
/ Let him fall down ii he will. but
don't strike him." When the colt was
taken out OF the shafts he was IS wet
as if he had been in water, and a child
could have handled him. He had
not been struck blow. Tie dray
we believe, was invented BY MIR
Strader.
