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;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, 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 new growth, except in
extreme old age. It 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,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

race who are overly fond Of drink. Joe

it was bis duty to turn him from the

he approached him and proceeded to
give him severe lecture in regard to
the vice of intempsrance. when in the
course of his lecture be said: "Joe, my
brother, are you not aware Of the fact
that you are taking into your system
slow, but very sure poison. which, if
YOU do not at once discard, will kill you ?

take it. upon myself. to give you

1t is no new thing for women to be.

the defeat Of the Persians at Salamis,
and made brave resistance, distinguish.

Interesting Facts.

The organ of vision is considered the
most delicate organization of the human
frame: yet many who were born blind
have been enabled to see by surgical
operations, and the following Is an inter
esting fact concerning one of that class
A youth had become thirteen years of
age, when his eyes were touched by a
surgeon. He thought scarlet the most
beautiful color; black was painful. He
fancied every object touched him, and
he could not distinguish by sight what
he perfectly we'll knew by feeling; for
instance, the cat and dog. When his
second eye was touched, he remarked
that the objects were not SO large in APP
pearance to this as the one opened at
first. Pictures he considered only part
ly-colored surfaces, and miniature alb
s0lutely astonished him, seeming to him
like putting bushel into pint.
Stanley, the 0rganist, and many blind
musicians have been the best performers
of their time; and schoolmistress in
England could discover that the boys
were playing in distant corner of the
room instead Of studying although a per-
son using his eyes could not detect
the slightest sound. Prot. Sanderson,
who was blind, could, in few moments
tell how many persons were in q mixed
company, and Of each sex. A blind
French lady could dance in figure
dances. sew and thread her own needle.
A blind man in Derbyshire, England, has
actually been surveyor and planner Of
roads, his ear guiding him as to distance
as accurately as the eye to others; and the
late Justice Fielding, who was blind, on
walking into room for the first time,
after speaking few words, said: !" This
room 10 twenty-five feet long, eighteen
wide and twelve high all Of which was
revealed to him with accuracy through
the medium Of the ear. Verify, we are
fearfully and wonderfully made.

We just now assume to be fond OF

a physiological truth of nature, among
which is that embodied in the old aphor.

and fain would say 1t forcibly: " For
beari you are running, destroying the
object on which you build such high
hopes" Humanity is not legitimate
subject for dollhouse forcing; il arrives
at its best strength and most desirable
development only in its natural element
and by natural stages of rather slow
growth.
1t much more frequently happens that
"a somewhat dull child, or one that has
shown merely kind of quiet common
sense, comes by and by to the front on
the great stage of human affairs, than
otherwise. The vivacious, sparkling,
meteoric style of infancy seems usually
to burn itself out; and its ashes fill
either an early grave, the dropping form
of an invalid, or that of some ftfully-
| flashing, but on the whole incompetent,
sample of mediocrity. There are excep.
tions to all rules, but this is the rule with
regard to the growth of intellect, not to
say genius, and both these are more
likely to be developed by the exigencies
and hard knocks Of actual life, as nature
prepares the way, than by the pampcr-
ing and forcing of early stimulation,

tine is dissolved, which is strained off
while hot and poured out in thin layers,
that, when sufficiently cooled, are
stretched out on nets to dry. Machinery
is employed to cut the gelatine into the
delicate strips in which it is usually sold.
An inferior gelatine is made in France
from bones and other parts of animals.
it is said that the enormous number OF
rats which are killed in the sewers and
abattoirs of Paris, after their skins are
taken off, are wholly consumed by the
gelatine-makers. The French manu-
facturers have superior art Of clarity

them very attractive and fine-looking.
