Every year increases. the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
il soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff. and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except In
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

The Grasshoppers.

Our Western friends, with not too great
reliance on Providence to rid them of the hop
per plague, have set about extermiuating the
pests thsnselyes, in two ways. First, Idle
hands are given something to do, with an
indaeemcus for doing it, In the recent offer,
made by authority. Of payment Of seventy
five cents for every bushel Of dead grasshop-
pers. Second, strange as it may seem, the
Missourians are eating the destructive insects
At an experienced feast at Warreusburg, in
that state. to test the cooked locust question,
the company were served with grasshopper
SOUP. which tasted ike chicken soup" but
was better; batter cakes mixed with locusls;
and baked locust-plain 'hOppers without
grease or continent The meal was closed
with desert. Ia John the Bapiist-baked To-
Gust and honey, aud the enthusiastic reporter
who pariook Of the yepast says;
" We believe ibis is the FIRST attempt at put
ting this insect to its best use. aud the result
is not only highly satisfactory TO those brave
C oush to make the attempt, bat should this
insect make bis visits oflener aud cause greater
destruction, future generations will hail its
presence with joy. It viii be jubilee year
like mamma in the wilderness, or quails in the
desert-lood without money and without
price. Now, dear reader, you may shrus
your shoulders and smile, but heuceforth we
shall esteem grasshoppers as luxury to be
classed with oysters, trulfles, mushrooms, etc.
Supplemental to the above, it is,harily fair
in us to say that farmers around Kansas City
have examined large assortment of grass
hoppers and found there-iourlhs OF them to
contain well developed, live magg"ts
