A few facts connected with the history OF

wiped his oily hands on his scAnty locks, that
the effects Of petroleum upon the growth OF
the hair was noticed. In 4 short time this old
servant bsd and gray-heade1 rs he was, be-

the chemists art had To be employed 80 as to
destroy the offensive odor, ard at the same
time retain the subtle qualities which gave
health 10 the scalp aud natural color and yigor
10 the hair. This fact was accomplished in
the production Of Carboline, which is deodor-
riZed petroleum. 3. Every one who hes han
died petroleum knows what q penetrating, ac-
tive agent IL is. IL cannot be retained in
wooden casks at all, unless they are coated
with some mperyious material, and il. il not
surprising that it goes right home TO the roots
of n persons hair, when it can find its way
through the best oak slaves ever made. 4
The medical properties OF petroleum have been
well attssted ever since the Seneca Indians.
more than u century ago, used it for various
diseases.
Ii doubtless possesses therapeutic virtues
not yet developed, aud its use in healing dis
eases OF the scalp from which badness and
premature grayness Of the hair result, may
lead TO other and important discoveries. 8.
Chemistry has extracted from petroleum some
OF the most beautiful colors ever known, and
while it may be impossible to determine whether
Carboline changes the color of the hair chemi-
cally, or through it's healing effects upon the
functions Of the scalp, certain it ls that by its
use the natural hue Of the hair il gradually re-
stored. The most plausible theory is that the
change results from restoring the growth 10
it's natural strength and ugor by removing
dandruff, cleansing the scalp and impartlng
renewed activity to its ~follicles.
Other facts might be given in support Of
the claims Of this wonderful preparation, but
the article is telling It's own story in the hands
of thousands who are using it with the most
gratifying results. Let the prematurely gray
and bald but give it a fair trial and Caroline
will be to them a household word full Of the
most gratifying significance. Sold by all

HUMOROUS.

How LICKsHINGLE PRESERVED HIS
UMBRELLA.-"Len' INT yer umbrella a

, Such was the exclamation of Jones
as he rushed into the office of Squire
~Lickshingle recently.
Certainly, certainly" said the
Squire, laying down the newspaper,
and taking a fresh chew OF 1ne-cut;
"glad to accommodate YOU" and he
opened a drawer in his desk and began
rummaging through hislegal forms and
blanks.
Jones darted into the corner, seized
the green gingham relic, and was pre-
pairing to fly with it.
"StOp, stop, stOpl' said the Squire,
raising his hand maiestically; "not too
fast, young a Wait till | make out
the necessary papers,"
Jones dropped the umbrella. On his
corn of course. After pumping his
lame foot up and down, and tying a
hard knot In his cOuntenance, and UNI
doing IL again, he echoed:
"The necessary papers?"

The right one found, he filled 1t out
In 4 jiffy and handed 1t To Jones TO sign.
As Jones read the paper his knees
knocked together. Ii was a mOrtga 9
on his house and lot as security that he
would return the umbrella in good
order within fifteen minutes. He
faltered.
"Wh-why, Squire, | only want to
borrow your umbrella TO run across the
street with. I'll fetch it back in two
seconds"
The Squire showed his s~pectacles up
over his bald spot until they formed
two sky lights in his Intellectual roof,
and looking Jones full In the face, said
"HOu only want TO run across the
street. You'll return 1t In two seconds.

A very ingenious speculation was
published about half a century ago as
to the number of a mans ancestors. 1t
was said that every man must have two
parents, four grandparents, eight great
grandparents and so on. 1t might fairly
be assumed of any given man that the
number of direct ancestors living at the
time of the conquest might amount to
upward of eight millions, presuming
that the number doubled about thrice
in each century. There are several
curious sequences of this idea, which
are given by Sir Richard Phillips in his
mornings Walk from London to
Kew" Gray, according to Walpole, in
l749, had computed that "there must
go a million of ancestors in twenty gem
erations to everybody's composition"
Touching the idea itself, it may be
noted that there Is in it a fundamental
error, or, rather, a counteracting ele-
ment, which soon checks the increase
of ancestors, then neutralizes it, and
finally diminishes 1t. This cause is the
''brother and sister" element. 1t is
soon found that in tracing up ancestors,
that, for example two men and a
woman, who ought in the preceding
generation to have six parents, being
brothers and sister, have only two.
Hence, every mans pedigree, If it could
be fairly tracked out, would be repre-
sented as a double conceive cones
joined at their bases, the apex of the
one being himself, the apex of the other
Adam. Probably the true form Of such
a family tree would be an ellipsis.

CULTIVATION OF FLAX.-Flax succeeds
admirably all over the more temperate
regions of the United States possessing
rich soil. The difficulty is the expense
of harvesting and preparing the crop
