The inventors OF BURNETT's COCAINE
knowing that when the loss OF HAIR occurs, it
is generally from that part OF the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated, and
that animal fats by their nature induce heat
rather than alleviate it-turned their atten-
( ON and pharmaceutical science toward vege-
table oils, as the basis OF a medicament to pro-
mote the growth and preserve the beauty ofthe
hair The oleum cocos, or CoCoANUT OIL, pre-
sented itselfmost strongly, as possessing many
properties peculiarly adapted Tor the purpose;
but its odor was Objectionable, and its density
Except when exposed to heat seemed Tor
long time to defy all efforts to render it avail
able, for populor use, in cooler climates. BY a
scientific selection OF other ingredients, those
which will chemically combine with the oil
have been discovered, and they together have
produced compound, which is unqualifedly
pronounced to lie the best that has yet appea-
ed.
In the form presented, this oil is permanent
" deodorized and held in combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; BURNETT e
tocoAISR is unrivaled in delicacy and agreea-
bleness-cooling in its nature-and possesses
such penetrating affinity for the secretiOns
of the skin, that is rapidly absorbed.
It's greatest efficacy is best secured by per-
feet cleansing, before its application, OF the
hair and scalp, under which circumstances
this oil allays irritation, removes all tendency
to dandruf and invigorates the action OF the
capilaries in the highest degree. Its effect
upon the glossiness and richness of the hair is
such as cannot be surpassed and tits offered
to the public in the firm belief that it only re-
quires to be known to supercede all other
preparations We are confident that no one
who will make a trial OF its efficacy will be
willingto return to the use ofany other pre-
paration.

How an Editor Shot a Bear.

J. r. gaymond's Mania.

New York Dramatic News.
John t. Raymond is very strong as a
hatcher. He is not adverse TO a little
game of poker or an occasional touch
of lansquenet, but his special alteration
is matching for money. If he can
catch a friend while travelling from
place to place, he will match him day
and night. lie will go off the stage
and match till he goes on next night.
He will match between the acts. lie
has now, of late invented system of
matching with Willie Deutsch Flor
ence's managerj by telegraph, and he
occupies many of his spare moments
in this delectable occupation. When
he first struck the ''Gilded Age" he
was SIS, 900 behind, all the result of
matching. He paid all this up with
his first profits, then bought his wife
Marie Gordon a carriage. and a pair,
and after that he went to matching
again. If he meets friend on the
street he asks him TO take drink, and
then wants him to match. lie will go
out with couple of hundred dollars
in his pocket in the morning, and re-
turn in the afternoon for more.
1t is mania with him, and is said
to eat up a goodly portion of his profits.
Last fall, when in San Francisco, Ray
mond met Maurich Grau on the street
and they went together into the bar.
doom of the Palace Hotel. Raymond
proposed matching. They matched
two ten-dollar pieces. Grau won.
They doubled it, Grau won. From
tens and twenties they went up to hun
dreds, a streak OF luck accompanying
Grau throughout. From hundreds
they soon got to thousands. In less
than half an hour Raymond had lost
$4,000. 1t was an honor, of course,
as neither had that amount of money.
Raymond was excited and nervous,
and proposed matching the whole $780,
900 on one cast. Grau consented, put
down head. Raymond matched him
and won. This gave him lesson for
a time, but he was soon at it again, in
veterate as ever. A few days ago
Raymond met Grau opposite the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Raymond pulled out
$50, Grau had SOS, and in five minutes
the latter had lost it. By chance he
found five-dollar bill in his pocket
and matched that; he won, and ten
minutes after had Raymond's $50 and
his own $25 safely stored back in his
pocket. That day Grau sent $40 to st.
Johns Guild. Willie Deutsch is about
81, 200 ahead at present in his match
ing with Raymond.

Goodwill.

Here is a golden saying from the
lips of a. I. Stewart, a man who in
fifty years amassed more than fifty
millions of dollars
Il consider honesty and truth as

If such a man with such wealth,
should go still farther, and make good
will to his fellOw-men the leading mo-
tive Of his life, what power he might
become, and what a halo of glory
would crown his name
All. my boys. what world it would
be. if this spirit prevailed in tiff on
every side we met those ready to help
and cheer, instead of being compelled
always to be on our guard against self
ishness and fraud Now, every one

dred other things which they fOOliShly

Goodwill should begin at home.
How quickly you can tell what sort of
spirit reigns among the boys or in the
families you visit! In some houses
there is constant warfare at any time

disputes.

A little five-year old boy was
being instructed in morals by his
grandmother, The old lady told him
that such terms as sby golly," .'by
lingo, "by thunder" etc. were only
minced oaths, and but little better

she said she could tell profane oath
by the prefix "by." All such were
