TIE GREAT DISCOVERY,
A New Household Word.

But comparatively few of the forty millions
Of people in the United States have as yet
heard of that most wonderful discovery, Car
boline, whereby the growth and vigor as we'll
az the natural color of the hair IL restored ;
but the tens OF thousands who have already
knowledge Of the article are speaking its
praise. aud soon Carboline will become a
household word throughout the length and
breadth Of the land.
A few facts connected with the history Of
Carboline Will prove interesting to on read
ers. /. 1t was by the untldy habit OF q ser
want, who, when trimming the lamps, always
wiped his oily hands on his scanty locks, that
the effects Of petroleum upon the growth OF
the hair was noticed. In a short IN this old
servant, bald and gray-hesde1 as be was, be-
gan to show o good head OF hair, and the &C.
cret was out. 2. But the best refined petro-
leum cannot DO used as a hair dressing and
the chemists art had to be employed 30 as to
destroy the offensive odor, and at the same
time retain the subtle qualities which gave
health TO the scalp and natural color and vigor
to the hair. This fact was accomplished in
the production Of Carbollue, which il deodor-
rized petroleum. Q. Every ono who has ham
died petroleum knows what a penetrating, ac-
tive agent it is. It cannot be retained in
wooden casks at all, unless they are coated
with some lmpervious material, and 1t IL not

of a persons hair, when It can find its way
through the best oak slaves ever made. 4
The medical properties OF petroleum have been
well attasted ever since the Seneca Indians,
more than a century ago, used it for various
diseases.
II doubtless possesses therapeutic virtues
not yet developed, and 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 1t may be impossible to determine whether
Carboline changes the color of the hair chemi
cally, or through its healing effects upon the
functions Of the scalp, certain it Is that by iP
use the natural hue Of the hair is gradually re
stored. The most plausible theory is that tn
change results from restoring the growth y
it's natural strength and vigor by removing
dandruff, cleansing the scalp and impartln
renewed activity TO it's ~follicles.
Other facts might be given in support o
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 era,
and bald but give IL a fair trial and Caroline
will be to them a household word full OF the
most gratifying Significance. Sold by all
druggists.

Adam Goidie's wonderful shooting.

Goldle is a man in the prime of life,
about five feet eleven inches in heighth,
and with a most wonderful physique.
Some OF the feats which he has per-
formed seem impossible. He has brok-
en- 200 balls out of 800, in II minutes,
with a forty-four calibre Winchester
rife. He can break 100 glass balls five
times out of six, without a miss, in
three minutes. These feats are unpar-
allied, and surpass DR.. Carver's won
derful shooting. A seemingly incredi-
bic feat that he performed Is as follows {:
A soda-water bottle thrown into the air
In q certain manner, and before 1t falls,
Goldie will send a ball down the neck
of the bottleTnd make a hole in the bot
tom. There are other feats which he
performs with bottles, and GOldie will
send six bullets in rapid succession
down the neck and through the bottom,
only perforating the latter in one place.
At long distance this wonderful marks
mar performs just as marvellous feats.
AT 1000 he will hit the centre of the
bulls'eye and then send six bullets,
n after the other, hitting the very in
dent made by the first. A potatoe
thrown In the air Goldie will p~erforate
with six bullet holes before it touches
the ground. Perhaps his most aston
lshing feat ia breaking two balls at
once. This is done In the following
manner: The balls are thrown cross
wise, and as they cross each other on
their course, with quick unerring aim
and lightning like rapidity, Goldie will
speed a bullet through both. Another
feat Is the placing Of an inch strip of tin
about three feet long in position, at
thirty feet distance, and perforating 1t
from top to bottom with thirty six holes,
all exactly In the centre Of the strip,
and all at even distances apart. Goldie
says he does not know where all his
wonderful skill comes from. He never
handled n rifle until he was 15 years old,
and TO him 1t seems like an instinct.
lie would take aim and fire with uner-
ring accuracy, and his wonderful feats
soon acquired for him q marvellous rep.
utatlon among his nelghbors.

DOMESTIC.

HusK DOOR MATS have made them
by taking a Loard of the size | want the
mat, say u by "a inches, and one inch
thick. Bore holes two inches apart
with a "a inch bit. Take as many corn
husks as can be drawn into these holes
by being doubled over q stout string.
Draw the loop of husks through the
Oles so as to leave an equal portion
each side of the board, then cut the
looped or doubled end of the husks.
When the holes are filled the mat is
done, unless you add a cieat each side
of each end, to strengthen the board.
When one side gets wet, turn it over
and use the other side. One set of husks
will last a year, and then the board can
be filed again.

AGRICULTURE.

SMALL COMPOST HKAPs.-All farmers
know the value OF compost" and how
to prepare Il. Many farmers manufac-
tHre hundreds OF loads Of the best ma
nure in this way. They gather together
on the premises fOrest-leayes, corn
stalks, including the roots, weeds, vines,
oial from fence corners, muck from
ponds and bitches, OCCASIONAL sprink-
llngs Of lime through the mass, layers
Of barnyard manure, and thus build up
oblOng squares and let them remain over
winter. When April arrives the mass
has gone through fermentation and
communion and presents a mound OF
fortified matter better than a small
gold mine would be 10 the proprietor Of
The farm. But we want TO see these
compost heaps in the garden, and there
is no reason why they should not be
there as well as upon the farm. There
is rubbish enough In the garden, with
assistance of leaves, some mould from
the woods, II attainable, if not from
portions OF the premises where IL can
be spared scraplngs from the turnpike;
manure from the stable, and every at
tainable substance that will decay
through the winter. A little Stacked
lime Will be a good assistance. A half
dozen loads of excellent manure will
be manufactured by the time it il want
ed in the spring, without, incurring a
cent of actual expense and at the am
time the garden will be cleared of its
vines, stalks, weeds, and all otherwise
worthless trash.

Shanklin, aud cooking his eye-glass on

and the male birds will invariably eat
the male worms and the female birds
the female worms"
