gloss and freshness of yoatth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling 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 pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly 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,
else can be found so desirable.

ORIGIN OF THE MORMON BIBLE
The Rev. DR.. Mincf. of Boston, who
of1iciated in this cry some months
since as Universalist pastor, temper
ance and scientific lecturer, inter
viewed Brigham Young and the
Mormons on his way home, and a
few days since delivered a discourse
thereon to his church in Boston.
After describing his impressions of
the country, their people, their re-
ligion and his interview with Brig
ham, reported as follows: The ori-
gin of the Mormon Bible is traced
to one Solomon Spaulding, gradu-
ate of Dartmouth College, who was
ordained for the ministry, and
preached awhile, but eventually en-
gagged in business and took to novel
writing. Among the fiction he wrote
about the year 1872, was one in the
form and expression of the books of
the Bible, essaying to show that the
American indians were of the lost
tribes of Israel. The manuscript of
this was left in the shop of Penn
sylvania printer named sydney Rig
don. Spaulding died in 1914. About
the year 1880 Rigdon became associ-
ated with Joseph Smith, and soon
after the Mormon Bible appeared,
being the old fiction, designed and
written as such by Spaulding, with
alterations and amendments by
Smith or Rigdon, Or both.

BRADBURY's MIsTAKE.+In Phila-
deiphia there are whole blocks of
houses exactly alike, and sometimes
there is such a quantity OF them in
square that man who lives near the
middle has to begin counting at the
corner in order TO ascertain which is
his house. Mr. Bradbury a few nights
ago came home late, and as he was
thinking of something else he forgot
to count, when about two doors from
home he ran up the front steps of Mr.
Petty's residence with a conviction
that it was his own. His dead latch
key opened the door readily. and
Bradbury, after cropping around in
the dark for the hat-rack, knocked
against il and upset it. Mr. Petty was
upstairs Just about to go to bed.
When he heard the noise he went to
the head ofthe staircase and listened.
He discovered that there was man
in the hall below and he knew at
once it was burglar. So he went
back to his room and got his revolver.
Then he shut his eyes and fired at
random. The noised walked Mrs.
Petty and she began to scream vio-
lently. Then Bradbury felt certain
that there was band of robbers up
stairs engaged in -butchering Mrs.
Bradbury and the children. AS he
started to creep softly up the staircase
to recconoitre Petty begen Ito steal
quietly down the staircase to look
after the burglar he had killed. They
met on the first landing, aud although
both were terribly frightened they
grappled, for both knew it would
be struggle to tho de&th. After
fighting desperately the combatants
rolled down the stairs to the floor be-
meath, while Mrs Petty syrang the
rattle for policeman. just an Petty
got the upper hand of Bradbury and
was mutilating his nose with his fist,
the police burst the front door open
and struck light. Then an explain
alton ensued and Bradbury went
home. You have perhaps seen a
prize egg plant at an agriculture fair?
Well, Bradbury's nose resembled
that in size and color and shape, and
now he not only counts from the
corner when he comes home, but he
has the front of his house painted
white, with a locomotive headlight
over the front door.-Mar. AdeJer.

THE LYON COUNTY TIMES


To have series of proofs incess-
antly before the mind is beyond our
power. From the inability of the
mind to retain in perpetuity, or to
comprehend at glance, long chain
of evidence, or the total effect Of
various lines Of argument, it is not
sufficient for the security of cur con
victions, and their due influence over
our belief aud practice, that we have
proved them, once for all, by pro-
cess Of reasoning. They must be,
if possible, tinctured and colored by
the imagination, informed and amin
ated by feeling, and rendered vigor-
Gus and practical by habit. Reason
acts slowly, and with so many views
upon so many principles which it is
necessary should be always present,
that it is perpetually dropping asleep,
and is lost for want of having all its
principles present to it. The afiec-
tons do not ask this; they act in
simultaneously, and are always ready
for action.-Pdscdl.

he's right. We hate hog, dead or
