youtR. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by Its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a paSty sediment, it
viii keep it clean and vigorous. Its
Scasional use will present the hair
rom turning gray or falling of,
md consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandrutf, which IS
often so uneleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
HAIR DRESSING, nothing else

Oh! happy Paddy! Didn't he get drunk
that same night, and didn't he start next
day for Cork, and didn't he marry Kath-
leen, and touch thousand pounds? By
the powers he did. And what is more,
took cottage, which perhaps, you know,
is not hundred miles from Brutiin, in
the county of Limerick; and ffaix, he
forgot his first vile clean and entirely,
and never told any one but myself, under
a promise OF secrecy, the story of his
"fleet Marriage"
So, remember, as it is a secret, don't
tell it to any one, you see, but keep it to
yourself.

How to Light a Fire.

All housekeepers have some time real
ized the difficulty of lighting fire on a
still, damp morning, when the chimney
will not draw, and vigorous blowing
trouble as "caused by the difficulty en-
cOuntered in overcoming the inertia OF
the long column OF air in the pipe or
chimney, by the small column of air that
can be forced up through the interstices
of wood and coal at the bottom of which
the fire Is kindled." This may be reme-
died by first lighting d few bits of shay
ings OF paper placed upon the top; thus,
by the heated air forcing itself into the
chimney and establishing there an up
ward current, the room is kept free from
the gas or smoke which is SO apt to fill the
room; and the fire can then be lighted
from below with good success.

her the blessed crimson shawl, which l

Allopathy versus Homeopathy.

Anovel experiment is about to be tried
in Chicago tor the purpose of testing the
relative merits Of all0pathy and home-
pathy. 1t is proposed to establish a free
hospital, and to this end a large building
with a capacity for one hundred beds,
will be rented for three years, one-half
to be devoted to the adherents of home-
pathy and the other to allopathy. The
patient on entering the building Will be
taken alternately by the respective sides,
SO that it is thought in the course of a
year one side would secure as many se-
we're cases as the other. The method OF
arriving at satisfactory diagnosis in
each case seems to be perplexing one,
but 1t has been suggested that the physi-
clans on one side Of the house diagnose
the cases for the other side, and vice
versa. Every prescription is to be made
in writing, and filed away for future in-
spection. We pity those patients.
