gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced, Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty scdi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness, The
restoration Of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forna-
ton of dan lruff, which is often SO un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria. and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

ABOUT fourteen years ago Mr.. William
III. Neal, shoe manufacturer of Saccarap-
pa, Me-, failed, and settled with his cred
itors for fifty cents on dollar, taking a
legal discharge from all his liabilities.
One year ago he called on each of his
creditors and paid the other fifty pei
cent, and now within few days he has
again called on them, all the original
creditors being now alive, and paid them
thirteen years interest at six per cent, be
ing for the whole time that they were de
prived Of the fifty per cent, compounded
on the original settlement. Business men
will agree that such instances are rare
and will unite in wishing Mr.. Neal pros
perity in the future.

There are 1929 pupils in the public
schools of Virginia City, New.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
established branch Book Concern in
New Orleans.
The Zson's Herald says there are
100000 children connected with Meth
odist Sunday-schools.
Since May, 1873, ten Presbyterian
churches have been organized in Ne
braska, with an aggregate membership OF
1870. ~
One hundred thousand dollars have
been subscribed in New York in aid Of
Bishop Cummins' Reformed Episcopal
Church movement
1t is said that seven Baptist churches
have been organized in Chicago and vi
cinity during the last year, and that an
equal number will probably be organized
in the next twelve months.
Bishop Wiley, at the New York East
Conference recently, said that while there
were "over IL 900 travelling preachers in
the United States" not one had refused
to go to his appointment, and only two
churches had declined to receive their
preachers.
An Eastern Methodist Conference adj
vises the congregations within its bounds
TO supply the parsonages with ministers
libraries, and also that the ladies' circles,
or some other agency, shall add few
volumes and periodicals yearly, to keep
the ministers properly equipped.
The Adpance says the number of the
illogical students in the seven Congrega-
tional seminaries is only 1927, of whom
only thirty eight will graduate this year.
This, the editor says, seems an astonish-
ingly small number for thirty-five Pro
fessors and sixteen lecturers, and hints
that, If pastors had as much professional
enthusiasm as is found in other profess
sions, the number of theological students
would be largely increased.
