A Novel Feature

Presents itself to those who use Parker's
Bair Balsam, in the discovery of its
rare and remarkable merits. Many have
written US expressing their delight in
the fact that it works like charm. Its
disinfeetant properties in chemical COM
bination rendering it healthful, cleans
ing and healing are BEARING fr",s, aiisl
tIIS uOauJuuI nalr 1t produces, with the
clean, healthy scalp, entirely freed from
Dandruff and falling hair, are achieve
ments for which we have reason to feel
proud. A patron assures us that he has
used twelve different Hair Preparations
and that Parker's Hair Balsam sur
passes them all. To hair that has be-
come gray or faded, it restores that
beautiful natural color of youth, and
produces a vigor and luxuriance that
surprises every one. Buy bottle from
your druggists, Sumpter 81 Stanley, and
test its merits.

IuGuaces the way TO its companions
seemed almost incredible. Mr., Edi-
son was. however, perfectly serious,
and proposed while they were on the
subject the reporter should test with
him the monographs ability to sing
a part song. A double mOath>piece
was then attached to one Of the ma

said Mr.. Edison, preparing to set the
cylinder in motion, "YOu will, L
think, distinctly hear both parts"
Instantly the duet began and cOntin>
ued perfectly through two verses and
the chorus.
Sometimes, you know" said the
inventor, with a merry laugh, rude
people will talk at concerts : suppose
we see if we can produce that effect"
Reversing the cylinder, he then pou's
ed into the mouthSpiece a string of
meaningless sentences and e%jacula-
tons, occasionally in~terpolating a
shrill whistle and a cat>call. The
effect when the phonogrs ph again be-

ful beyond conception, The strains
OF the duet came forth clear and
tremendously, but it was as if a riot
had broken out in a concert>rOom.
"Can you," asked the reporter,
looking perfectly aghast at the i'm

hospitable inventor led the way to a
comfortable feast, aud patted the
head of a bright little three-year>old
boy who called him 'papa'' with a
genuine affection that showed, though
the most remarkable inventor of the
age, be is by no means dead to the
less exciting episodes and habits Of a
domestic world. Indeed, this shown

country house that stands a few rods

To the Public 7

TI1HE undersigned having gone into q co
4 partnership with Messrs. a. L. COR
INHERIT and C. D0RI0T, the style of the
firm viii be DOriOt & Co. We
have brought to this place all the latest and
most approved appliances for extrasfne
watch making and repairing, together with
the best talent and skill in the American,
French, and Swiss improvements. Mr..
Cornibert ranks with the first Watch Max
ers in the United States. We have appli-
ances to adjust watches to heat and cold
We hstter ourselves that We can do watch
work better than the best Of other shops
throughout the country. All damaged
parts of watches will be taken out and re-
placed with perfect parts. In many cases
our finely repaired watches will be made
better than new. Formerly MI. Cornibert
was entrusted with the frst-class of work
in New York City.
Our assertion will be proven by giving us
a trial. We will still keep a fine class Of
goods-everything that is kept in a first
class Jewelry Store. Watches as cheap as
the cheapest, and warranted. Our sincere
thanks to the public for their very liberal
patronage in the past. We hope to always
merit a share of the same by fair dealing
with all. Bear in mind oar talent is
not net exhausted.

Are We Being Frozen Up L?
Scottish American

A curious story of the future fate of
the world is being discussed by aSwe-
dish paper. The question is, whether
recent and long continued Obserya-
tons do not point to the advent of a
second glacial period, whom the fair
countries now basking in the foster
ing warmth of a tropical sun will ulti-
mGtely give way to the perennial frost
and snOw of the polar regions. The
researches of g~eOlOgists have proved
the existence in Greenland and other
arctic land of fossil palms and other
tropical plants which show that these
regions were formerly covered with a
rich vegetation, which only equatorial
climes car now produce. Then came
the great ice age which buried this
vegetation beneath the mantle of cold
which still prevails at the polar ex-
tremities of the earth.
Is this kingdom of ice and snow
again extending Its way toward the
equator? From the Antartic circle
we have no data which supply an an
swar to the question 4; but it is asserted
that the climate of Norway, Sweden
aud Iceland is annually becoming
more severe. Great masses of ice are
frequently observed by nayigators in a
far more sOutherly position during the
summer months in the Atlantic than
was the case a few Years ago and the
effect of these ice-burgs is to materi-
ally increase the temperature of Sean
dinavia and Iceland. The latter is
land is suffering so severely that corn
no longer ripens there, and the inhab-
itaBts, in fear of approaching famine
and still colder climate, are emigrat-
ing to North America.
TIE influence of the Gulf Stream N
the climate of Norway, which has
been not less marked than its effect on
the coasts of Ireland and Scotland, is
being cffaced by the intensity Of the
cold brought by the masses Of ice
which it is one of the effects of the
Gulf Stream to carry toward the east
ern side of the North Atlantic. This
extraordinary cold appears to be rath-
er Of periodical occurrence than of
gradually and annually increasing in
tensity : and our Swedish contempt
rary appears to have forgotten that
the existence Of larger quantities of
larger quantities of ice than usual in
the Atlantic rather points to a recent
period Of stormy but hot weather in
the Polar regions than to an unusual
intensity and extension of the reign
Of Polar cold. Still the phenomenon
is OF great interest. and Importance,
aud deserves careful attention.
