HALLS
Vegetable Sicilisn
HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapt
ed to cure diseases of the scalp, and the
nrst successful restorer of faded or gray
hair to its natural color, growth, and
youthful beauty. 1t has had many inn
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 .tulflnlent Of
its promises.
The proprietors have often been sur.
prised at the receipt of orders from re.
mote countries, where they had never
made an effort for its introduction.
The use for a 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 tram
sient, like those of alcoholic preparations,
but remain long time, which makes its
use matter Of economy.

A Curious Sea Monster.


From the London News of the World.
Particulars of the appearance of a Gu
rious sea monster, which has been seen at
the Island of Yell, one of the Snetlands,
are reported from Lerwick. The circum-
stances, which are taken from the nara
tive of IN eye witness, are as follows:
son Friday morning last q foreman coop
er named Henderson was standing along
with come others On a pier at Barra Voc,
q small bay on the southeast nhore of the
Island of Yell, waiting for the arrival of
the local steamer, when suddenly there
appeared in the mouth of the Voc two
large dark colored objects aome distance
apart from each other. At first they
were thought to be the sails of two small
boats, but this surmise was dispelled as
the object neared the shore, when sufi-
cient was seen to show that 1t must be a
fish of some sort. The creature gradual.
ly approached, but suddenly made a swift
dash forward, when the immenge fins
that had first been seen proved to be de-
pregsed to one side, just like o boat under
a heavy press of canva The beast ap.
peared to be In pursuit Of something, and
n its course came directly on for the pier
head, where the amazed spectators were
standing, remaining in it's vicinity for
several minutes. The fore fin, which
rose from the surface of the water to the
height of between three and four feet,
was shaped exactly like a boats sail, and
appeared to be of a dark and slaty color.
1t was about thirty feet distant from the
after fin, which was of the same color,
but leas in height by about one foot.
Although it came 30 close to the pier
head that the spectators could easily have
jumped on it, nothing of the b ldy of the
fish could be seen except a dark moving
mass, which appeared to be considerably
greater in length than the extent to the
II Its shape, SO far as could be seen,
resmbled somewhat thot of q whale.
1t continued for some time to dart about,
in purauit apparently of tish, and would
make long circular sweeps, moving at
such a speed through the water and
causing such a violent disturbance that
the sea would rush over tops of the fins,
which were always depressed to one side.
Shortly after the monster approached the
pier Henderson had started out for a
g ritie, but could only procure an old
double barreled gun, which he loaded
with shot. The animal was still close to
the pier when he returned, and he i'm.
mediately discharged the contents of
both barrels into the fore fin. The shot
took effect, for it was seen that the fin
was completely riddled. The animal no
sooner received this shock than it sank,
and was never seen again. Its appear
ance was described by several old fisher.
men, all of whom concurred in the opin.
ion that it was what is known anon.
them as a 'brigdie.' believed by soma to
be a species of basking shark. What a
'brigdie' Is, however, has neve been &c.
curately determined. 1t is generally de.
scribed as an animal with two immense
fins stretching up like wings from a body
of apparently vast dimensiong. and is
said to have on many occasions pursued
and DESTROYED boats at sea-"
