gloss and freshness of youth. 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 a 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-
tion 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 a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
iustre, and grateful perfume.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield TO its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
il is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
viuces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it OIL hand rs a protection against the early
and unperceved attack of Pulmonary Affec-
tions which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
Is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multtudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Inf1u.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures a.
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

Fun with a Spider.

Spiders in many respects are just like
other other animals, and can be tanned
and petted, and taught q great many
lessons, which they will learn as readi.
ly as dog or cat. But you must take
the trouble to study their ways, and
get on the good side of them.
One day bad been reading in a
book how spiders managed to get their
webs across streams and roads, and
from the top of a tall tree to another.
went out and caught large garden
spider, one of those blue-gray sprawl
ing fellows, ard fixed him up for my
experiment.
1toOk stick about eighteen inches
in length and fastened piece of iron
to one end of it, 30 that the stick would
stand up on that end of itself. Then !
put this stick in the center of large
tub half full of water, and placed the
spider on top of the stick. l wanted to
see if he could get to the land which
was the edge of the tub, without any
help. He ran down first one side of
the stick, and then the other; each
time he would stop when he touched
the water, and shaking his foot as a
cat does, he would run up again. At
last he came to the conclusion that he
was entirely surrounded by water-on
an island, in fact. After remaining
perfectly quiet for long while, during
which, he was arranging his plans, he
began running around the top of the
stiak, and throwing out great coils of
of web with his hind feet. In few
minutes little fine strings of web were
floating away in the slight breeze that
was blowing. After a little, one of
these threads touched the edge of the
tub and stuck fast, as all spider webs
will do.
This was just what Mr.. Spider was
looking for, and the next minute he
took hold of his web and gave jerk
as sailor does with rope when he
wishes 10 see how strong it is, or make
it fast. Having satisfied himselfthat !
was fast at the other end, he gathered
it in till it was tight and straight, and
then ran on it quickly to the shore-a
rescued castaway, saved by his own in
genuity.
Spiders are not fools if they are ugly,
and He who made all things has a
thought and care for all. The earth is
full Of the knowledge of God.-Chris-
tian News.
Tennessee papers are accusing their
Democratic State officials of permitting
information to ''leak out" for the BEN
eft and profit of q small ring, that the
coupons of the State bonds up to Janu.
ary, 1875, were to be paid at once.
Ben. Hill, of Georgia, says: "Jnder
Tilden the South his South, he means
would be happy; under Hayes she
would be quiet" Thus again is it
shown that the country generally will
be better off under Hayes than it would
be under Tilden.
There is live Democrat in Macon,
Mo-, who served under Gen. Hayes,
and he bears this testimony: 81 can't
go back on Hayes; he is one of the
noblest men l ever knew. He never
would do dishonorable thing. I do

by voting for him."

thentic fact, 10 which hundreds can bear
testimony:
About forty years ago a young man nam
ed Wilson, residing near the town of Perth
conceived the lunatic idea OF leading a her

showed symptoms of arrangement, and this
proceeding on his part was not considered
strange by his friends. The chosen place of
his hermitage was about three quarters of
mile from his parental homestead, in the
rect SIS OF a dense bush. where he erected a
small novel. ard furnished 1t with an old
log canoe, which he used a. a couch % sleep

and quenches his thirst. His food is brought
TO him by his friends, and when given To
him is eaten with the voraciousness of an
animal, which he now resembles more than
man, his body being heavily coated with
hair as that of a COW. He never shows a
dangerous disposition, and chatters in
mOnOSyllables. When people cross his path
he invariable begs for tobacco, for which he

How American women Are InsuIted

The Milanese ladies do not promenade the

generally accompanied by companion OF
tnelr own seX-mother or sister, or, IL with a
gentleman, he is generally husband, father
or brother. IL is not considered the proper
Thing for a Milanese lady 10 promenade The
street with a gentleman not a relation.
Certain II is that, when once is seen alone,
she is apt 10 be accosted by every Italian
she meets. American and English ladies'
and particularly the former, are subject
10 insult and annoyance from the MilaneSe
gentlemen 90, who think nothing OF walk
ing up 10 and accosting them as Familiarity
as they would a member of the derni-mOnde
on Broadway. This is the result OF the ac-
ton OF some American girls VINO have been
students OF music here at divers times. and
who, away from home, acted in such man
ner as 10 bring disgrace and contumely on
the name of American womauhoOd. An
Italian does not think he insults an AmerI-
can lady by inviting her TO become his mis-
tress, even if he has not had the slightest en-
couragement 10 make such proposition.
American ladies who come here 20 study

they are without protection they are pursued
remorselessly, and they either succumb, or
are glad 10 fee from the city to save theII
reputation. A case In point was related 10
me few days ago, where an estimable aud
handsome young American lady was perse-
cuted by wealthy Baron here, who, finding
that his advances were treated with scorn
used 10 send his carriage, a well known
equipage, TO stand In front of the lady's
house for two or three hours after midaight
The lady was eventually Obliged 10 fee from
the city TO escape his prosecutions. That's a
sample OF what a young American woman
unprotected, has TO expect in Milan.
