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;
audit is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruH and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By it's 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. 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,
"Thc constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

WASTE NoTHNG.-The Chinese,
more than any other people, have re-
duced the saving of fertilizers to a
science. 1t is we'll known that they
scrupulously save, disinfect, and put
to valuable use every particle of offal.
In no other way could their land be so
enriched as to support its teeming In
habitants. Liebig traced the primal
fall of Rome to the building Of her
great sewers, which conducted to the
Tiber fertalizing material which should
have been applied to her soil. 1t was
the lack of breadstuffs, consequent up
on the poverty of the arabic lands,
which drove the Romans to foreign
conquest, and ended In the over. throw
of their own liberty. Our people. are
wasting every day substances, which,
Improperly utilized, would save them
many a dollar and much tribulation.-

A paragraph is circulating among
the, agricultural papers giving a Euro,
pean plan for the excavation of green
fodder such as turnip tops, or other
succulent vegetables, The original
source Of this paragraph has long been
lost sight of, or we would gladly give
credit. A pit from two to four feet
deep is dug in some well-drained part
Of the field, and the tops of the root
are thrown into it. They must be
gathered when cntirel y free from ex-
ternal moisture, and must be pressed
down as tightly as possible. When
the pit is full, a little straw is laid ov-
er the whole. 1t is said the fodder
thus put away will keep in good con
dition for six or twelve months. The
writer Of the paragraph in question
bears witness that he once saw a pit of
this kind opened after having been
closed all winter. In this instance
the leaves were those Of the sugar
beet, and they were to all appearance
as fresh as when first gathered The
stock to which the fodder was given
ate it eagerly. 1t is well to sprinkle
salt upon the fodder while packing it,
as this tends to preserve it and renders
it more palatable when it is dealt out
to the cows. 1t would seem well
worth the trouble to adopt this simple
method if it has all the virtues claimed
for ii, for thus, with comparatively lit
tie trouble, large amount of fodder
can be preserved which usually goes
to waste. The only question is as to
the possibility Of preserving fodder i'll
this manner in our colder climate. 1t
is evident that the exclusion Of air is
the principle condition of success.
Frost will not often penetrate through
four feet Of dry, well-packed earth,
and most of us know that burying is
an excellent preservative for many
vegetable products One thing how
ever, must be remembered, and that is
that it is not every soil which will an
swer the purpose. Nearly every good
soil will do but the system must not
be condemned if the very first attempt
does not perfectly succeed.-[C Christ

Cure for Consumption.

The numerous cases of consumptive
mortality reported, induces me to sub
nit the following recital of effectual
cures, in the last stages Of the COM
plant, to your consideration. and tc
hope your philanthropy will prompt
you to give it publicity through the
medium of your useful paper, should
it in any sense be deemed worthy.
An officer in garrison at Rochefort,
wearied with having pursued for a
long time, without effect, the usual
remedies for an obstinate cold, aban-
doned them at last and resumed his
ordinary course of life. He soon be-
gan to spit blood, and his lungs APP
peared seriously affected still he
persisted in abstaining from his
remedies-One day having bottled
off a cask of wine in his cellar, he had
half q pound of rosin and half a pound
Of yellow wax brought into his room,
which he set about heating over a
brazier to seal down the corks of the
bottles. This operation having
lasted an hour and half, he
thought he spit more freely, and that
his cough was less dry and frequent.
1t then. occurred to him that this
might be the effect of the fumigation
he had undergone, and he determined
to rcnew.the experiment he accord
ingly walked about his room, keeping
the doors and windows close shut, in
perfect cloud formed by the smoke,
and in four or five days found himself
perfectly cured. He impaired the
discovery to the surgeon of the regi-
ment who without having any great
faith in its efficacy, thought there
would be no harm in trying the ex-
pertinent upon soldier in the hos
pital, who was dying of 4 pulmonary
complaint. He had him brought to
his house, and made him, at intervals
offour hours, undergo fumigation
proportional to his strength for
being in a very weak state he might
have been sufocated by too strong a
smoke. From the second day the
patients cough began to abate, and in
six weeks his health was perfectly re-
established.

The Prince OfWaIes' Last.

His Royal Highness has been de-
tected in many an act which has
startled the Queen. The last of which
is said to be the ordering of $4,000
worth of tickets for the Public Libra
ny of Kentucky. Her Majesty, it is
stated, did not object to his buying
literally, but in the present condition
fthe Princes finances, she thought
800, 900 worth was too much for him
to invest. 1t is asserted that he insist
ed on sending his order to Governor
Bramlette, assuring his royal mother
that he knew what he was about, for
that as s2,5OO,OOO was to be distribut-
ed to the ticket holders on November
80, and in such gifts as S250,0OO,
100000, &c, he would have a
splendid chance at one of these splend-
idprizes, and thus, easily pay his
debts.

ErFrEG AND LAST GSE"T CONCERT
IN AID OF THE
Public Library of Kentucky.
a CARD TO THE PUBLIC,

The management have determined
to have the drawing of the Fifth and
Last Gift Concert of the Public Ii
brary of Kentucky on the 3Oth day Of
November next. We believe now
that all the tickets will be sold, and
that the drawing will be q full one !;
but whether all are sold or not,
the drawing will nevertheless certainly
come off on the day appointed.
The special object of this card is to
call meeting Of the ticket-holders at
Public Library Hall, on the Goth of
November, to make arrangements in
connection with the committee ap-
pointed by the Trustees to superintend
the counting of the tags representing
the number of tickets sold. When
there is no actual necessity for the
presence Of ticket-holders, as under
our arrangements the interests of all
are equally cared for, yet at the same
time | would greatly prefer that as
many Of those interested as can, would
attend this meeting and see each for
himself how perfectly fair and impair,
tial the distribution must be.
Every arrangement has been made
for the drawing-but little more than
a month remains for the sale ofthe
remainder Of the tickets, and what
ever is done must be done quickly.

WHAT Is CHARITY ?

WHAT Is CHARITY?
Tis not to pause when at my door
A shivering brother stands,
To ask the cause that made him poor,
Or, why he help demands.
lis not to spurn that brothers prayer
For faults he once has known;
IT'S aot to leave him to despair,
And say that I have none.
Tho voice Of CHARITY is kind,
She thinketh nothing wrong;
TO every fault she seemeth blind,
Nor vaunteth with her tongue.
In penitence she placeth faith,
Hope smileth at her door,
Relieveth first, then softly saith,
Go Brother-sin no moro.

The BURNT PANTECHNIcoN.-The Royal
Pantechnicon Company was organized in 1868,
and was similar to our Security and Trust Com
panies The building is an imposing block,
eight stories high, fronting Hyde Park, and in
the immediate neighborhood of the palatial
residences of Baron Rothschid, the Duke of
Wellington, Sir Robert Peel and others. The
front walls were of granite elegantly sculp-
tured The building cost one million pounds
sterling. The basement, which was lined with
Iron was carefully guarded by watchmen;
while each safe had an iron grating before it,
Here were locked up the valuable slyerware of
the old families of England, who rarely used it
except on state occasions. These priceless COL
lections were carefully numbered, the company
giving bonds for their safe keeping, and charg-
ing according to the valuation Of the property.
The first floor was magnificent art gallery,
in which were deposited the rarest pictures Of
the Turner, Reynolds and other galleries.
Persons going out of town also left their priv
ate collections of pictures for safe keeping. Be-
sides these were glass cases filled with costly
jewelry and valuable collections of COINS Ad-
mittance to the Pantechnicon could be obtain
ed only from depositor or director. In tire
rear of the first floor were collections of equip
ages, mostly of foreign make, which were con-
sidered so costly that the owners feared to trust
them on their own premises. On the floors
above, besides several art galleries and marbles
were endless collections of costly furniture, re-
quiring constant care and attention to keep in
order The Pantechnicon was also used for the
safe keeping of landed titles, mortgages. and
other valuable papers, the company sometimes
advancing money on the collaterals deposited.
Every day during the London season rows of
carriages could be seen standing in front of the
building while their occupants were viewing the
collections inside 1t was said that the young
aristocracy who visited the Pantechn icon were
often shocked to find that mere shopkeepers
possessed more wealth than themselves.
