was the first preparation perfectly adapt
ed to cure diseases Of the scalp, and the
Srut successful restorer of faded or gray
hair to its natural color. growth, anc
yoathful beauty. 1t has had many i'm
itators, but none have SO fully met all the
requirements needful for the proper treat
ment of the hair and scalp.
Halls HAIR REVIEWER has steadily
grown in favor, and spread its fame and
usefulness to every quarter Of the globe.
Its unparalleled success can be attributed
TO but one cause; the entire Ja!fln'ent Of
its promises.
The proprietors have often been sur
prised ut the receipt of orders from re-
mote countries, where they had never
made an effort for its introduction.
The use for short time of HALLS
HAIR REVIEWER wonderfully improves
the personal appearance. 1t cleanses the
scalp from all impurities, cures all hui
mors, fever, and dryness. and thus pre-
vents badness. 1t stimulates the weak
ened glands, and enables them to push
forward new and vigorous growth.
The effects of this article are not tran
sient, like those Of alcoholic preparations,
but remain n long time. which makes its
use matter Of economy.

A sNAKEHUNTING CAT.
And Her Masters Adventure with
a RattIesnako.


HAwLEY, Pa, Aug. 1s.-Andrew
Bellas, car runner on the Pennsylvania
Coal Company's gravity railroad, lives at
Plane No. on the line of that road. One
day last week couple Of small kittens
were missing from his house, and he
started out to look for them, as they were
great pets with his family. As he was
going through his back yard he saw the
mother Of the kittens stealing along the
grass. Bellas stopped, and, looking
ahead OF the cat, saw large pilot snake
| lying 10 the grass, about 6 feet distant.
There was no doubling the fact that the
cat was stealing on the snake and II was
equally plain that the snake knew Il and
was ready for the attack. At first Bellas
thought he would kill the snake at once,
but he changed his mind and watched to
see what the result Of the impending
fight would be.
The cat crept to within q foot Of the
snake, which was ready to strike at the
proper time. The cat stopped, and rails
ing her left fore paw cautiously held IL
out toward the pilot. Like a fash the
latter struck at the paw, but the cat was
quicker still, and bringing her right paw
into play dealt the snake q blow on the
side OF the head that knocked II back O
foot or more. The reptile, evidently
greatly surprised and maddened by the
| cats attack, returned to the fight.
Again the cat presented her left
fore paw, and again the pilot struck
vioiously at 1t, only TO again miss
and to receive the violent right. handsr
alongside the head. This was repeated
four times, when the snake, weakened
and thoroughly dispirited, turned and
tried to drag itself away. Instantly the
cat sprang upon the retreatipg reptile,
and with two or three strokes OF her
| sharp claws tore II to pieces. She car
ried the remains of the dead snake TO
distant part OF the yard, where she dug a
hole and buried 1t.
Bellas went on to a rocky hill not far
away, thinking the kittens might be
there. He cav . orevice In the rocks
which looked like q snug hiding place
for them, and he thrust his hand into It.
Instantly he felt sharp stinginR pain In
his finger, and II quickly shot up his arm
to the shoulder. A rRttlesnake had supk
Its fangs into his fore finger, and retained
Its hold with suoh tenacity that
Bellas could scarcely shake IL of.
BE killed the snake and hurried home.
An old woman named Bailey sucked the
wound, while Bellas drank plentifully Of
whisky. After sucking the bite thor.
oughly Mrs. Bailey applied table salt to
1t. This and the whisky was kept up,
aud after "a hours Bellss, who had passed
into deltrium, was restored to conscious
ness At the end Of three days he was
pronounced out of danger.
The I'D cat has killed several snakes
since the diaappearanos OF her kittens.
She never hunted snakes before. From

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The advocate for
Madame Patti presented q petition to-day
for divorce from her husband, the Mar.
quise de Csux. The balance of opinion
expressed by the bar ia that the court
will refuse to grant the great prims donna
q divorce, on the ground that the law re-
serves the right Of divorce to such appli.
cants as have received injury in the mar
riage relations. An application for
divorce was filed yesterday by the Duo
de Beaufiemont. The ground on which
this is based is the alleged ruinous
extravaganza Of his wife.

Wilmington should take warning from
the fate which has overtsken Wheeling,
W. Va. That city is now represented to
be financial wreck. The debt Of our
own city is not alarmipgly large as yet,
but it ia plenty large enough. Should
the coming thirty or forty years be years
of reasonable prosperity we could most
probably meet the annual sinking
fund and instalment payments
and eventually extinguish the debt
altogether, II it be not added to In the
meantime. We suppose 1t is hopeless to
look for such good fortune as this, rs new
debts are reasonably surs to be created
in the future as they have been in the
past But great care must be exercised
in making these increments, for the growth
OF municipal debt must carry with It an
increase in the tax tate and the existing
rate ia plenty high enough. 1t cannot
be materially advanced without impair
in the value Of city property for invest
msnt and thus driving capital to some
other place where the burden ia lighter.
This thought may have no especial per.
tinency at the present time, but 1t is one
which should abide with every one con.
cerned in municipal legislation at all
times and go with him wherever his
official dutiea may lead him.
