BEWARE FHALR. WASHES

Ladies, fair ladies, beware of fhair-wash-
es. A medical friend informs me that it
has lately been discovered that the active
ingredient of all washes for subduing
gray hair is lead, which, uniting gradually
with the natural sulphur of the hair,
forms black sulphuret of lead, which ID
really the darkening agent. We all
know how deletrious and even fatal IS the
application of lead in any chemical shape
to the pores of the human body; what
then, must be the mil chief produced by
its being continuously and often daily
rubbed into the delicate skin of a lady's
scalp? Here, however, is a practical il
lustration, vouched for by Mr.. Brown
field of Norwich. The wash had been
used for two years, but only very mode.
rately, and during all that time there was
general malaiSe and loss of muscular
power. About three months since, two
days after an effectual application of this
wash, slight epileptic fit occurred, and
six weeks afterwards asimilar application
was followed by palsy Of the extensor
muscles of the left hand. In this case
probably another dose might have pro.
duCed paralysis; but by this time suspic-
ion was aroused, and by the steady ap-
plication of antidotes the symptoms are
now disappearing. The profits of selling
these washes are said to be 80 tempting
that since the secret of the darkening
agent has oozed out, numerous hair. dress
ers, both in town and country, are manu-
featuring them and pressing them upon
their Customers-LO London World.

APPLES FOR FEEDING.

Last fall / sent sixteen barrels of ap-
pies to Pittsburgh, Pa, early in the sea-
son and return was made of something
over 81 for the lot above freight and char
ges. Here were about forty eight bush
els of prime apples and sixteen new bar
rels and time given for but little more
than 81. I then opened my orchard and
gave my hogs and sheep free access to
them, and all improved rapidly. About
the middle of October made cider for
family use, and then gathered in my ap-
Piles carefully-several hundred bushels
and stored them away in my cellar in
a four feet layer, over space of sixty
eight feet by twenty, and in every three
feet square set on end small sheaf of
straight rye straw as VentilatOr and
cooler. My apples kept exceedingly well
and after feeding my cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses with the poorest fruit, be-
gan feeding them my hand-piCked apples
and | think altogether with good re-
suit, 30 much so that hereafter shall not
crowd full market at the risk ofselling
apples at mere trihe. fed a consider
able lot of sheep on apples, and they did
better than have had similar lots do for
years past when fed with grain. Millions
of bushels of apples have been suffered
to 90 to loss in the United States, appar.

ACQUITTED.

The argument of the case of the State
vs. George K. Pardee was concluded on
Thursday afternoon about % o'clock.
Judge Hale then delivered his charge to
the jury. The charge was most impor.
element in the case, as there was one
important legal point discussed. The
State had endeavored to prove that de.
fendant had tried to get $50 for the re-
turn of the goods. Judge Hale in his
charge held that Pardee had a perfect
right to take reward for the return of
the goods. He further charged, that un-
less the jury found the intent to defraud
accompanied the. taking of the goods,
they must acquit. The jury retired, and
in about half an hour returned with
verdict of not guilty. There were two
ballots taken. On the first the jury was
three for conviction and nine for acquit-
tai, the second ballot, all were unanimous
fos acquittal. One of the jurymen says
that the three who voted for conviction
at first did it merely for sport, being con.
vinCed that the defendant could not be
convicted, Upon the rendering of the
verdict, Mr. Pardee was congratulated
by his friends.-Akron Times. ai3g

TO YOUNG MEN.

Henry Clay once said: "I owe my sue
cess in life to one fact, namely AT the
age of twenty.seven commenced and
continued for years the practice of read
ing and speaking upon the contents of
some historical and scientific book. These
of-hand efforts we're made sometimes in
a Cornfeld, at others in forest, and not
unfrequently in a distant barn, with the
OK and horse for my auditors. 1t is to
this early practice in the great art of arts
that am indebted for the primary and
leading impulse that stimulated me for
ward and shaped and moulded my entire
subsequent destiny. Improve, then,
young gentlemen, the superior advanta-
ges you here enjoy. Let no day pass
without exercising your power of speech.
There is no pay like oratory. Caesar con-
trolled men by exciting their fears, Cicero
by captivating their affections and sway
ing their passions The influence of the
one perished with the author; that of the
other continues to this day." .

WHEN TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES.

Long experience shows that when it is
desirable TO produce a free growth of
shoots and leaves, pruning should be
done when the trees are dormant, as in
the winter season, or early in the spring,
before the sap begins to flow. When
fruit trees appear to grow too rapidly,
and produce too much wood, they may
be pruned moderately in the summer
season, cutting away a portion of the
wood by degrees but shoot growing in
an improper place may be cut away at
any time. An experiment made by pru.
ming apple trees every month in the
year, for two years, showed that the
wounds of the branches cut in February
and March, at the end of five years, when
all healed over were found to be the
least decayed under the healed surface,
When trees are pruned in winter, or l
may say at any time, it is best to cover
the wounds with hot mixture of tar
and pulverized brick dust or fine sand.
A solution of shellac in alcohol, as thick
as can be applied with brush, is con-
sidered by many as the best preparation
that can be applied.
During the mild days of winter, orch
ards may be pruned-while little else
can be done; bnt good judgment should
be exercised in regard to selecting the
branches to be cut away. 1t is ruinous
to an orchard to cut and slash away one
third and one-half the limbs. All that
should be done is to give the trees a good
shape, and only cut away such limbs as
are plainly in excess of the natur& re-
quirements of the tree, to conform to the
extent of its roots. If we take away too
much of the top of tree, it is like ia
king blood from man-the more that
is taken the less vitality remains in them
therefore in pruning, only the un.
slightly branches, and those improperly
situated, should be cut away.-RurdI
