hickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by its nse. Nothing can re-
store the hair where the follicles are

application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of,
and consequently prevent badness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepare
tons dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely

known rocks are but the sedimentary deposits
of older formations, and it might be that
these latter were themselves the remains Of
still more ancient rocks of continent of the
remote past. 1t was, of course, impossible
to tell where that continent was, but out OF
its ruins had risen the present continent.
The Oldest known rock were the Laurentian
and Harmian, which extended from Labra-
dor to the Lake of the Woods unto the far
north. Ever since its formation the Ameri-
can continent has been undergoing changes
newer rocks are being made up of the present
rocks; the cooling of the earth has worked
great changes in the surface of the land; the
ocean is wearing away the iron-b bound coasts.
The sea has, time and again, forced its way
far inland, leaving deposits in which are con-
tanned remains which give the key to the
kinds and conditions of life which, at remote
periods, were prevalent on this continent.

THERE is but little prospect of Christian
swords being drawn for the Turks. There is
more probability that Russia will be able to
give such guarantees and assurances as to
secure the consent of England to the capture
and temporary occupation of Constantinople
The following language of the London Times
would seem to have been framed to prepare
the world for the absolute neutrality of Great
Britain: $50 far as can be judged, the for.
tune of the war will be adverse to the Turks.
The operations may not have the rapidity Of
recent wars, but the Turks are overmatched
and must succumb in the end. This catas-
trophe Europe will accept. No nation will
60 to war again to support that which cannot
be supported. No real statesman will cling
to dead element in system instead of look
ing for its living forces. We know we must
seek for that which is to replace the parting
power. To this we cannot too soon direct
our attention"
