HERE is THE PROOF
OF IT'S
Superior Excellence

Read this Home Certificate, testified to
by Edward Ii. Garrigue9, one of the most
competent Druggists and Chemists Of

can doubt.
l am happy to add my testimony TO the
great value of the "LoNDoN HAIR COLOR
REsToIER," which restored my hair to its
original Color, and the hue appears 10 be
permanent. am satisfied that this prep

upon the secrctions. 1t is also beautiful
hair dressing and promotes the growth.
purchased the first bottle from Edward
Garrigues, druggist, Tenth and Coates

quite gray when commenced its use.

GROWTH OF THE EARTH.-A London
newspaper says: "In the interesting course
Of lectures on astronomy which Mr. T. "A.
Proctor has been delivering in the theatre OF
the Society Of Arts, for the special beneht OF
young persons, his subject was "Meteors.
comets and stars" In speaking of meteors,
he developed at come length the thought
which will strike many as novelty, that
the earth is, has always been, and so long as
it shall exist as part of our cosmicsl system,
must ever continue to be, growing 10 sze'
Meteors are bodies, composed Of extraterrene
matter, which travel in vast belts and In
highly eccentric orbits round the SUM- These
belts, or systems of meteOrs, are very numer-
Gus, and when their orbits intersect that OF
The ezrrh they ars brought within the ID
huence of it's grayitation, and on entering
our atmosphere become luminous and fall TO
the surface of our planet in those periodical
showers of shooting stars which are 20 well
known. Not & night passes in which come
falling stars are not seen, and IN certain
months aud on certain nights the golden rain
is incessAnt Of course. too, meteors fall IN
the daytime, although unseen. 1t is COM
pu,ed, said the lecturer, that hundreds OF
thousands OF these extrsterrene bodies become
incorporated with the earth every "a hours,
and 4OO, 100000 in the course of each year.
They may vary in weight between % te"
grains and ton. One is known TO have fsl-
len in South America which weighed fifteen
tons. Yet these small accretions TO the
earth's matter would take many millions OF
years to add single foot to its diameter. IL
hsd been shown that one OF these meteorle
systems followed in the track of a small tele-
scopic comet, although not TO be eonfounded
with its tail, and it was now the general
opinion Of astronomers that all these belts OF
meteo.s were similarly related to comets Mr.
Proctor then proceeded to speak Of comets

sort of folly which characterized the Bennett

An illustration. clipped from local journal:
"Dr. w. r. Wrenn aud James Monaghan
lived near neighbOrs in the vicinity of Shan
non. Wrenn's cattle were in the habit of
getting into Monsghsn's field and spoiiing
bis cotton. Sharp words had passed between
the gentlemen on the subject ; and Wrenn
finally heard that Monaghan had threatened
to whip OF Kill him. On the 7ih inst, while
Wreun WAS at the house of Lse>>pue, about
si1 miles east Of shannon, he saw Monaghan
coming down the road on horseback. Tax.

called ont: Jim, want 10 see you a min-

sshan, at the same time dismountipg
Thereupon Wrenn advanced, both men drew
their revolvers, and each fired at the other
three times. Both were fatally wounded in

died in half an hour. Wrenn lived until

CHANGE IN POSTAGE SrAMPs.-BY
about the middle of next May, tL,-
public will have seen the last of the
present 3 cent stamp and begin to get
accustomed to something red or pos
sibIv new tint. The best and fastest
color known, the green three, has
proved a placer for stamp-washers
who take off the oily cancellation
without acid or alkali and set the
stamp afioat again So far tie de-
partment has found no way on: OF The
difficulty, and The long series of ex.
periments Just completed has resulted
in nothing more than the assurance
that green is the poorest oi stamp
colOrs. At the time it was adopted
no other nation used it for its unit of
letter postage, and with its disuse the
common stamps the world over will
run to red and browns. With the
change of color, May 1st there will be
a change in design. The medallion
head of Washington will be relieved
by an open space of white, and the
scroll work will have a different pat
tern. Altogether the new stamp Will
bear some resemblance TO a stamp OF
sixteen years ago, which most people
have forgotten. The white back.
ground is adopted in the hope that
any attempt TO wash the stamp Will
leave this part irrelrieyably soiIed.

BLEsS GOD FOR RAIN.

Bless God for raiD !" the good man said,
And wiped away a grateful tear;
That we may have our daily bread,
He drops q shower upon US here.
Our Father, Thou wLO ivelrst in Heaven,
We thank thee for the pearly ,howerI
The blessed present thou hast given
To man, and beast, and bird and flower.
Tire dusty earth with lips apart,
Looked up where rollel an orb of hams
As though prayer came from its heart
For ran 10 come /; and 10, IL camel
The Indian corn. with silken plume,
And tiny pitchers with flowers AlIed,
Send up their praise of sweet perfume,
For precious drops the clouds distilled.
The modest grass is fresh and green;
The brooklet swells in soeg again;
Methinks an angels wing IS seen
In every cloud that brings US rain,
There is Il raintow in the sky.
Upon the arch where tempests trod;
God wrote it ere the world WAS dry
1t is the autograph Of God
Up where the heavy thunders rolled,
And elouls OF fire are swept along,
The sun rides In a ear of gold,
And soaring larks dissolve IN song.
The rills that gush IRON mountain rude,
Flow tSinkling from the mountain base
Just like the tears OF gratitude
That Otter stain good mans fare.
Great King of Peace deign now 10 bless;
The windows of the sky unbsr;
Shower down the rain of Righteousness.
AMI wash away the stains Of war;
And let the Tadient bow Of Love
In beauty mark the moral sky,
Like that far sign unrolled above,
But not like il to fade and die.
