ment in proporlionIng the ingredients.
The last batch had TOO much hair In IL

-Tlic rather unusual spectacle of criti-
cising person for dong his work too
we'll is presented in the inclination OF
some 10 blame the Chairman of the Ad.
vertising Committee for the failure OF the
River Carnival. He advertised simply
and only that which was given him to
advertise and had nothing to do with any
feature of the programme either in it's con.
ception or execution. One thing he most
thoroughly demonstrated, and that is the
inestiinable value of the art OF adveTtis.

Those who are growing cabbage will
soon have an opportunity of testing the
remedy Tor cabbage worms recommend
ell by Prof. Riley, which he reports was
accidently discovered by Chas. II. Irwin,
of New York. 1t consists OF simply
sprinkling the cabbage witt, Ice cold
wafer during the heat of the day. 1t
WAS found that snch an application in
the hot sun caused them to quickly let
go their hold upon the leaves, curl up,
roll To the ground and die, while the cab
base looked sll the fresher for the appli-
cation.
Since the returns are all in the Toledo
papers take abou, the same view of the
failures a, the River Carnival as did the
JOURNAL of last week. The proper COM
mittees have shown authority from Wash.
ington giving permission for the four gun
boats to take part, and the committee had
| Al
four 'men Of war" that they would be
present and take part in the sham battle.
They are evidently "men of peace
(Qnakers) who were afraid to face Capt
Hopkins battery in a 4th of July engage
nent, and their places should be filed
with brave men. Evidently the commit.
tees expected about 5000 people and pio-
vided accordingly, but instead they had
about 25,000.
