FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.

IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores, with the
gloss and freshness Of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and badness often
though not always cured. 1t checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all Of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases Of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
AS a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The VIGoR is Incompatible. 1t is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambrie. 1t imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

Mental Progression,

In our day knowledge is power as il

movement and activity, in an age essenti-
ally practical. Where is the bookworm
of the past the dreamy thinker, the
slow philosopher? only to be dimly
traced in some aged survivor Of quietei
and slower epoch, only to be met with 10
remote towns, still outside the radius OF
modern hurry, towns which grow fewer
every year, and which in another decade
will be as populous, as noisy, as unrest.
full as the cities of to-day. Imagine quiet
Austin Caxton in the hub-bub of New
York life; conceive of any man to-day,
devoting his life to one abstruse work,
feeling that even If he lived to complete
it, he would have accomplished wonders
One can scarcely even conceive of leN-
cographer to-day-it seems as If 1T were
incredible that any one could toll through
years study, devote lifetime to task,
no matter how important. We feel that

stage-coach days of slow living Are the
royal roads to learning any real gain? 2
Ali these primers, and handy volumes

us? Will the next generation be wiser,
nobler, stronger? The history of the
world will soon go on sixpence, and

The Key to Success.

In order to have any success in life, or
any worthy success, you must resolve to
carry into your work fullness of knOwl~
edge-not merely sufficiency, but more
than sufficiency. In this respect follow
the rule of the machinists. Ii they want
machine to do the work of six horses,
they give it nine horse power, SO that
they may have reserve of three. To
carry on the business of life you must
have surplus power. Be fit for more
than the thing you are now doing. Let
every one know that you have reserve
in yourself; that you have more power
than you are now using Ii you are not
too large for the place you occupy, you
are too small for it. How full our coun-
try is of bright examples, not only OF
those who occupy some proud eminence
in public life, but in every place you
may find men going ON with steady nerve,
attracting the attention of their fellow
citizens, and carving out for themselves
names and fortunes from small and hunl-
bic beginnings and in the face of formid-
able obstacles. Let me cite an example
of man I recently saw in the little vii
lage of Norwich, New York If you
wish to know his name, go into any hard
ware store and ask for the best hammer
in the world; and if the salesman be an
intelligent man, he will bring you a
hammer bearing the name OF ID. May
dole. Young gentlemen, take that ham
mer in your hand, drive nails with it,
and draw inspiration from it.
Thirty vparc aCrO a how Ixroa stFTICrOlIOC
through the SHOWS at Chenango Valley,
trying to hire himself to a blacksmith.
He succeeded and learned his trade; but
he did more. He took it into his head
that he could make better hammer
than any other man had made. He de-
voted himself to the task for more than
q quarter Of a century. He studied the
chemistry of metals, the strength of ma
terials, the philosophy of form. He
studied failures. Each broken hammer
taught him a lesson. There was no part
of the process that he did not master
He taxed his wit to invent machines to
perfect and cheaper his processes. No
in working steel or iron es-
capped his notice. What may not TWEEN
ty-fye years of effort accomplish when
on single object? He
earned success; and now, when his name
is stamped on steel hammer, it is his
note, his bond, his integrity embodied
in steel. The spirit of the man is in
such hammer, and the work, like the
workman, is unriyaled. Mr.. Maydole is
now acknowledged to have made the best
hammer in the world. Even the sons Of
Thor, across the sea, admit it.-EEtract
