An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition
by the state of the hair
The Bible tells as that with his hair
gone sampson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness q serious
affection and Julius Cesar was never
quite satisfied with himself because his
poll was bsre.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various ex-
pressions, lines, changes and complexion
the state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
yet has palid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sing
ular beauty aud flush, more marked in
contrast with the alabaster appearance of
the forehead and nose and lower part of
the face, is one of those whom the skilled
physician will tell yon will some day
dread the funereal month of March, be-
cause it is then that consumption reaps
its richest harvest Consumption they
tell rs is caused by this that and the other
thing, by microbes in the air, by micro
organisms in the blood, by de6cient nntri-
tion, by thousand and one things, but
whatever the cause, decay begins with a
cough and the remedy that will effectually
stop the cause Of that cough cures the dis
ease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of q wasting.
To stop it effectually, a remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion
of narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
ioned preparation of balsams, roots and
herbs. such rs was used by our ancestors
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and ex-
pense. 1t is not mere cold dryer. 1t is
a system-searcher and upbuilder and
consumption expellant. Where others
fail, it wins, because it gets at the consti-
tutional cause and removes it from the
system.
]. w. Hensaw, of Greensboro, Pa, on
January Is, 1888, reported that he had
derived more real benefit for the length of
time, from Warmers Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy than he had for
years from the best State physicians"
If you have cough, night sVeats,
"positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh-you, have no consumption"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, As
your lungs waste away, you may know
that soon the funereal month of March
will claim you, unless promptly and faith
fully you use the article named If other
remedies have failed try this one thor
oughly. If others are offered, insist the
more on trying this unequaled prepara-
ton.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease
to become seated.

In Germany and Denmark specially,
and also to limited extent in France,
there are special schools for training
girls in dairy work and all matters per-
tanning to farm work. The largest school
of this kind in Germany is at Raden, in
the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. 1t owes its existence to pri-
vate liberality, but it has a subvention
from the State of fs25 year. The same
training is also given at Heinrichstal,
in Radeberg in Saxouy, where ten to
twelve young women are taught the
theory and practice of butter and cheese
making. The practical instruction is
given by a mistress, and includes tech
nical management of dairy, including
bookkeeping; feeding and management
of cows; fattening calves and pigs; in
struction in cooking; housekeeping in
general; management of poultry accord
ing to their season management of the
kitchen garden. At Hildesheim, in
Hanover, another dairy school of q like
nature exists, with grant from the Ag-
ricultural Society of Hanover of f225,
which stipulates that six pupils shall be
provided with board, lodging and teach
ing for q whole year at ELS each. The
pupils give their services in the day until
o'clock, after which hour they are
taught housekeeping. The heavy part of
the work is done by servants, but if the
pupils do not know how to perform any
description of dairy work they are taught
it carefully. In the afternoon the pupils
are taught reading, writing, arithmetic,
history, geography, etc., in fact, oil the
