A Toilet Luxury.

Where the hair is brittle. dry, harsh,
weak, or thin. the use of AYERS HAIR
VIGoR speedily renders it plant. soft,
glossy, and stimulates it TO rich and
luxurious growth il also keeps the scalp
free from dandrutf. and affords a perfect
assurance against the hair falling out or
turning gray. No other dressing is so
clean or has such delicate and delightful
perfume. Without it the toilet cannot be
complete.
Ladies who have once made trial Of
AYERS HAIR NIGOR never after prefer
anv other Embarrassing, and many of them
voluntarily offer such testimonials as the
following, from Miss KATE ROSE, Hger-
soil, ont, who writes:
"While keeping my head clear of Dandruf,
and preventing Scald Head, it has also caused
nv hair 10 grow luxurautly, resulting in my
now possessing hair forty-two inches long, and
as thick as any one could wish it."

II has long been our opinion, says the Live
Stock Journal that simple wool growing
il not warranted on land worth more than
$50 or $50 per acre. The simple fleece.
even If wool be 40 to 4j cents per pound,
will not pay where cultivated grasses are
grown and housed as food for long win
ter. Since nature has provided tor a
double income, why should not the sheep
farmer avail himself OF both to the full =
est extent Our people do not fully ap-
preciate mutton as a food. and we cannot
be considered as expert in raising
mutton as beet, but if we examine
the quotations of our fresh beef and NUT
ton exported, we find that our mutton
uniformly outsells beef 1t must be I'M
derstOOd that the exporter seeks the best
OF both for export. And il we appreci-
ated good mutton as much as the English
people do. we should have a very large
market at home. There are strong rea-
sons WHY farmers should consume more
mutton: the first is that it is healthier
than pork the second is that it can be
used fresh in summer, better than any
other meat. The quarters OF sheep can
be kept by the aid of lutte ice, in the
hottest weather, till consumed by the fam
lily. 1t certainly would promote the health
Of farmers and their families to exchange
some of the fat salt pork for good, fresh
mutton 1t is very evident that our home
market for mutton is capable of great ex-
pansion, and that the income derived from
this. would greatly assist in cheering up
the discouraged sheep farmers.

repol ted adversely on the petition asking
that proposition be submitted to vote
of the people to authorize the council to
appropriate $l0O 600 to establish a manu-
featuring enterprise. The committee
thinks it is unwlse, unprecedented and
impracticable. and if 1t were practicable
would be unfair to private enterprise and
| might entail heavy loss on the tax payers
by failure of the enterprise Or by d shonest

prise the committee thinks the city has
no right under it's charter, nor has the
Legislature power to give it the right. The
committees report was adopted.
