ALMOST TUE P?ME AS A MAS. A distinguished J awal^ witi, co,,, rival hon on aa* by the ""wie, and sid?rante c?Itorca?. by Mr. Darwin's vrKh Br?*cncmieB, ls just now receiving friendH.v'bic call? from bis large circlo ol' 'H^lfe in ??cr!!!!. I!o ix railed Pouiro. (u ia the most interesting result of a Prussian scientific. expedition into tho interior of Africa. An account of his habito is furnished hy a correspondent in tho Prussian capt* ital, who is on terms of great intimacy with him : "Pongo is now," the writer believes, "nearly three yenrs old, and he is about three feet high ; his bkin is cov ered with ?oft, silky hair, mixed with gray, and reddish on the head. Ho has a powerful form, muscular arms, smooth, polished black face, with well-shaped ears, and a large, sharp and malicious eye, which gives bini a strikingly human appearance. Win none hus tho pleasure, as I had this week, of spending a morn ing with him in hi* apartment, he strikes you-after having got over the slight feeling of disappointment which is pro duced by thc nbscuco of nny bridge to his nose-as hoing singularly like a very amusing, playful, and good-natured negro boy, ranier awkward in some of II?B ges tures, and, in hi? mode of progression, sometimes distinctly ape-like. As bc sits, looking solemnly round him, ho up iicnra to he thinking ol what thc next joke shall be, until presently something in your gestures or voice pleases ?nm, and then suddenly he chips his hands together and nods with un air of great delight. "Jiu ?H very sociable, and distinguishes young from old and male from female visitors. He is exceedingly attached to the society of children of two or three years old, play? about with them ns though recognizing them as playfellow? of his own age, choses them round thc enge, allows them to pull him about, drag him by thc legs and roll him over and over, swings with them on thc tra peze, kisses them if they allow him, und ?.ermita them to take every kimi of liber ty without making any unfair uso of his superior strength. With older childrou he seems to understand that ho may ho more rough, und, when he is racing abort with them, he slyly upsets n chair, and takes tho opportunity of giving them friendly boxes on thc enr. when ladies visit him in- hi? Inrgo cage, which ?H hiiitnbly furnished with sofas, chair? nnd table, trapeze, mid nil kinds of gymnastic appliances, they havo nothing to fear, except from his somewhat importunate amiubilty. He in particularly delighted if they take him up in their arm?; he embraces them and lennu his head agninst their shoulden with a grateful und grati fied air; ho is by no means willing to ho set down again. "Thu Berlin Aquarium, in which lu; now holds court, is rioh in varieties of thc larger monkeys, nnd when lie goes into tho monkey?' cago ho rule? ttl ere supreme. Even tho chimpanzee, who resemble? very much in his clover human way? an old favorite of London nt tho Zoological Gardens, treats him as dis l.iii?tlv bin gunn ri or. Tho "Grills how ever, appears to recognize tho chimpanzee aa nearly his equal, chooses him almost exclusively for his playmate, and bestows friendly but rattier rough carcases on him. He is fond of getting hold of tho chimpanzee, keeping him down and roll ing him over on tho ground. Sometimes tho monkey manages to Blip from under him. nnd tuen Pongo sprawls awkwardly on tho floor on both hands, and looks up with an expression of accented defeat. Ho walks on the solea of his feet, leaning at tho s'uno timo on tho outside of his hands, hut ho turns out hie ton? far more j than thc chimpanzee, and ho carries his j head more grandly erect, this seeming to bo the mark of high social standing. Wlion in high spirits ho has a wny of showing tho tip of his red tongue, which makes bis black face look all tho* more Uko that of a negro boy. "His mode of life is' as human as aro { all his ways. He sleeps on a matre. ; rolled in a rug, and at about s o'clock in tho morning be rises in his bed, sits up, yawns, scratches himself, and remains tn a sleepy, listless condition till ho has taken ins milk, which ho drinks out of a tumbler. Ho ia now ' wido awake, and looks about tho room for something to play with, and porkaps, if ho is allowed, to destroy ; for ho is as mischievous as nny child or as nny monkey. Then ho lookB out of the wi.**dow, claps his hands, and for want of some more Miitnblo com panionship, begins to play with his keep er. This tuan must t>o continually in attendance on him; ho does not allow himself to.bo loft alano for a singlo mo? ment. If ho finds himself alone, he ut ters tho shrillest cries until ho regains tho society of man. At 9 o'clock tho gorilla is tubbed, an operation in which he takes the greatest delight, expressing his approval lin'baas notes, which, per haps, it will bo impolite to call grunting.

Correspondence N. Y. Herald. How Birds Improve lu Nost-lhilldlng. You often will meet with thc statement in books ab??t birds and bi rds'-nests, that each species goes on, year after venr and generation after generation, building its nest in precisely the way which has al ways been followed by it? ancestors. It is said that birds build their nest* entire : ly by instinct, and that no improvement ever takes place, but that each bird se lects a place for its nest, and gathers the materials, anti goes through the process of building in exactly the way which lins been followed for thousands of genera tions. It is also stated that young bird? know how to do nil this without any in struction, and make their first nest a? skilfully as those old birds which have hnd experience, and have raised several broods of young. Thcso statements ar< made so often ny writers upon natura history, that it would seem as if then must be a good reason for them, and yo not ono of them is true. Hirds do no always go on building their nests in sim Uar places to those in which their nuces tors built, but whenever better places an offered them, they soon learn to take ad vantage of them ; neither do they stiel to the samo material for one gencratioi after another, but whenever more suit?, ble material is placed within their reach they often learn how lo usc it, so tba their nests aro much belter than tims built by their ancestors ; neither is i true that they never improve thc nhap of their nest?, nor tbnt tho young bird aro as skilful architects us thc old. You all know that only n few huiidre years ago Ibero was not a barn or a ch ?ni ney within tho United Staten, unlesi perhaps, thoso singular clilT-dwellin people in Now Mexico ami Arizona, ? whom wo know so little, bad barns an chimneys. At any rate, wu know (hr on the cast side of the Mississippi, nt th limo when tho while men discovered au settled tho country, there ?ero no poopl who knew unytbiug of n rch i lecture. Tho barn and chimney swallows were t bo found hero then its thoy arc to-dir but of courso they were compelled t build their nests in hollow trees nn caves, or nny other suitable places wbic they wero ablo to find. As soon as whit mon spread over the country and cr?ete buildings, these birds, which had nevi hoforo seen a barn or a chimney, sou discovered that thcso places aro mut moro warm and dry thuu rotten trees ar damp caves, as well as bettor protectc from storms; and it probably did m toko ronny years for thu swallows to di cover that snakes and birds and bensts prey did not dare to approach such pl ces. Thcso wiso birds, then, I m prov? upon tho habits di their ancestors, ai gave up their old savage life in tho wood tu order to sbaro tho hen. lits of civiliz lion. It seems as natural now for a bur swallow to make its nest in a bani, us ? a cat-bird to build in a bush or a Ire but it is plain that this has nut alwa beon thc caa), and that these birds ba been W?BO enough to chango their mo< of lifo. It is very certain that a few buudn years ago orioles could hnvo known not mg about string or carpet-ravelings, ai muet have co-dined themselves to stn stringy fibres ns can bo found in a nat ralstato; and thoso orioles which hui their nests at a distance from housi still make use of gross, flax, Ibo fibres Bilk-weed, and other things which th are ablo to find ; but of course a mu stronger and marc durable nest can wovon from strong thread and striti and the birds hare not boen slow to d cover this and to act accordingly. A fow year* ago Pouchet, a Fron naturalist, who was then engaged in wr lng r. boofe upon natural history, wish to nave an o:.;;ra-> mg mado of the ni of the common European house-marti Tho neBts in his collection woro noai fifty years old, and, thinking that t artist would be ablo to mako n much bi ter picture from a new ami perfect m than from an old ono, ho employed man to collect a numbor from tho wa of the houses in Paris. Upon comparing thcso with tho t ; nesta in his collection, Pouchet foti that there had been a very groat i m pro ? ment in' the architecture of thcso bil , within the last fifty years. Ho any* tl ? tho old nests oro globular, or formin( segment of a sphere with a very nm ' rounded opening, just largo enough allow tho passngo of tho birds iuhabiti it; and the account.-, of all tho anch writers egree in describing thia as I form, of tho neat in thoir day. Thon nest .'is in the form of the quarter o: hollow ccmi-ovat, this giving th reo I surfaces for attachment instead of o and affording much moro room on i floor of tho nest. Tho opening is longor a round bolo, but a long tra verse slit, botweon tho upper edge of t nest and the wall of tho building which it io attached, thus allowing 1 young to put their heads out and en tho fresh air, without interfering w the entranco and exit of tho parei M. Pouchet says that, besides tho adv; tagas of more room instilo tho nest, creased facilities for access and grce ' strength, it is also moro secure from invasion of enemies, and better protec fro?? the entrance of cold rain, ant! thus a decided improvement upon old form. Many of the naturalists who h studlea tho habits of birds with Sca test caro have satisfied themsol at young birds are not as skilful aa old. Nearly ono hundred and fifty yt ago Lcrory, a French naturalist \ spent his lifo in studying tho habit the wild animale of Eurone, publishe book, . which has latoly been transir into English, on tho "Intelligence : P8rt??blMtyS>i^n^mals."

A good cook brings his food on to thc table so com pounded with fat and lean, so seasoned with salt and pepper, and so prepared for easy assimilation that the vory smell stimulates tbe appetite and thc stomach finds no troublo in its digestion. What thc cook does fur thc fond of man ll c farmer should do for the food of his plants. Compost such elements of nutri tion ns will best nourish vegetation, and let them Ho together and cook during thc warm weather, as they will by Un heat gen erated internally by oxidation, 'avorcd by thegenial condition of thc air. The com posthcap maybe likened to a loaf of bread, :n which a little leaven has leavened thc Iwhoio iump, converting by a cheminai process unpalatable dough into sweet food. . Thc simplest form of vegetation re quires at least a dozer elements for its perfect development. Hence a compost properly prepared is the true idea of plant food. It is nonsense to suppose that because the potato is n potash plant itcaniivo on potash nlonc. All plnuts mid animals must die unies., furnished with food compounded of a doses or o:ore elements. Not thet every fertilizer must bo such a compound, for many, generally most, of thc clements of plant food abound in thc soil and air, and it mny only be necessary to supply those that arc lacking in order to render a soil fertile. This lends us to inquire of what thc compost heaps should be made. Tin answer to this question must depend somewhat on thc condition of the soi and the unturc of the crop lo which it h npplied. If the soil is naturally full o vegetable matter rou! inclined to bc cold it would bc folly to make muck thc basil of thu compost heap. .Sand or saudi loam would bc much preferable. Of the other hand, if the comport is lo bi applied to sandy soil, muck is just th thing for its basis. In like manner if tie compost is to bo used for a uitrogcnou Crop, cabbages for instance, ammonia ii some form should be a prominent com poural part. In general it may bo sail that phosphate of lime, ammonia am potash aro thc constituents most I i kel, to bu found wanting in our lung culti vated fields, and most essential to plan t;rowth. These therefore should cute argely into tho compost heap. Ollie constituents should be added ns the soi demand, or opportunity is furnished I supply them. Among these wo rna mention chloride of sodium, (comino salt) and sulphuric acid, which cnn moa economically bo npplied in the form < sulphate of lime, (plaster.) - All thc it organic clements of vegetation mny L found in ashes. Wc therefore put upo our compost all tho ashes, leached < unlenchcd. upon which we can lay ol hands. Theso constituents of tho campo pinned in juxtaposition and being mixc nnd covered with some absorbent, sue as muck, earth, or leaf mould, heat un t chemical action, aro decomposed ami r composed-in other words arc cooke forming new compounds which ure re.".' ?ly assimilated by plants. Tho mill mid leaf mould ui'O also hastened in thc decomposition by tho influences of tl I decomposing mass, tho whole forms J food which plants devour greedily. Hut 'where shall we get the phosphu of lime, thc ammonia, und other const uents of the compost heap?' is tho nc very proper question of tho farmer. Hones aro tho great resource for thc phi phato of lime. These aro lying nroui every slaughter house, every tanyard ai almost every farm in tho country, dri by tho sun and air, and consequent slowly decaying. Let thom bo gather and broken up by a slcdgo hammer there is no mill convenient for gundi thain,' or they be put into large hogshca with alternate layers of wood ashes a kept constantly moist for a fow mont during won., .venther, when they will found sufficiently softened to be cut wi a sharp spade. In this condition t into a fermenting compost thoy will fi thor disintegrate and add greatly to t value, of the pile. Tho next constituent of thc comp heap in ammonia, and this mny bo foti in ha ruy ar il manure, night soil, dc lenves, and dend animals of nil kin tho refuse of tho tannery, tho wooden paper mill, tho slaughter house, thc cc pool, nud divers other places too num ous to ho mentioned. Precious as amii nia is, there is probably no atibstai which is moro wasted. It is going off tho sea in our sowers by thousands tons each day. Tho rivers which p our manufacturing establishments n denso villages aro full of it, so much os to ho sources of miasma during I warm and dry months. Thero is no li of ammonia, if farmers will only kco| vigilant eye for it. In fact, they n shut thoir eyes ard their noses will where ammonia abounds. Ten chan to ono thoy cnn smell it ascending fr their horse-stables, barn-yard*, priv and cesspools, to be wafted over otb lands, upon which it will descend w the dews and rains. Our advico to fm ors is to look sharp for ammonia on tl own places first, nnd when they havo haustcd this rcsourco go to tho viii; where night soil will bo givon thom tho hauling, or to (ho woollen fact< whoro waste shoddy, or to the naper n whoro tho wasto sizing,cnn be had ; h theso articles abounding with ammo: and both well calculated to heat up compost bean and set the whole in mentation.

Thoro is no trouble in fine ammonia if wo only search for it. Potash is not so easily found. W wo could buy wood ashes for ten ccu bushel these furnished au abundant \ ply. hui now thoy arc scarce at twice thrico tho prico. Wherever unlcac .ash?s can bo obtained for twenty' cents per bushel, and tbb leached at this eura, the farmer can put no bc material in his compost. If placed, 1 ever, in direct contact with ar?mnn? compounds their tendency is to sot ammonia freo, and it must bo abs?? by. soil or some other covering of compost or there is great waste.

To ti reporter of thc New York World who interviewed Mr. Tilden on Monday I last, just before Iii? departure for Europe, a the Ex-Governor talked very freely. In t regard to the Electoral Commission be t said that he had never had any real con- s fidence in thc arbitration of ft question i where there WP . so much at stake by a r body of that kind. That settlement, he c said, involved not only the Presidency B but all tue patronage and power ;f thc I FcJeral Administration, together with i all the schemes, plann and jons connected t with it. Thc Republican party ami thc c men who had managed it in the pa?t were t too anxious o retain the Administration j to yield auy point in an arbitration. Thc > result of the Electoral Commission, there- t fore, was what might have been expected, considering the power and influences t brought to hear upon thc political major- | itv of that body as finally constituted. \ lie furthermore never liked the .scheme ( as a matter of principle, believing that < the true direction of a Democratic appeal < was not awuy from 3'ii) representatives of t the people towards fifteen individuals, , and still less from fifteen individuals to- j wards one to be selected necessarily with ? a large element of chance, not to say of ? trick and device. Ile thought there i should rather have been au appeal from i tho 369 representatives to the K,000,000 ( of voters through <. new election. Ile \ was .iistrustfu! ot the sccrcc}' celerity . and improvidence with which thc ar- ( rangement was carried through and uah- < ered into being. Hut thc proposition ( appealed to the hopes of the business j classeu, which were anxious above .til | tilings fur a settlement of almost any i kind, at almost any price, and as it was ? presented by the unanimous report of | tho Joint Committee, il became tue rep- , rcscntative, and the onlv representative | ?of thc public desire for peace. The events which are now attracting so much public attention in New Orleans,and the ? disclosures which, perhaps, may follow, < Mr. Tibien seemed to consider only as thc logical outcome ?if the revolutionary , acts of hi*t fall and winter. "In a gov- f cr?ment like ours,' i e said, "such fraud- ? lllent practices ?ts were reported from , New Orleans last November sooner or , later must come to thc light, and the . guilty parties with their practices must , be made known. lt was so with thc | frauds in New York; it has been the , case Pi a certain extent in Washington, and a like re-uilt will follow in New Or- \ leans, it is against the natural course | of events that deeds of this kind should , ultimately fail of being brought to light , in all their enormities." All this was said with philosophic calmness and with out any heat whatever. In regard to his , own political future Mr. Tilden bad noth- . ing to say except that he could not seo , any possible contingency which could , induce him to bc a candidate for, or to , seek au election to, a seat in the United j Stales Senate. Mudding Fniil-Trrcs. There arc two well-established methods now in very general uso among experts in fruit culture, for changing or multi plying varieties of thc same class on the same tree, and both of these arc simple ar d inexpensive. Thc first of these is known as grafting, and is only practiced on larger trees, and always in the spring before tho foliage is developed. Tho other method, which is much more rapid, and unite ns euro when properly done, is budding, and tho limo for doing this ex tends from tho middle of July until tho first of September. Whenever thc bark separates easily from thc wood, the bods may be set, with fair chances of success. Thc outfit for budding consists of some narrow strips of bass matting, such as comes on tho inside of coffee-bags, and a picket-knife with a singlo blade, with a small picco of ivory fastened in thc end of thc handle. When the incision is made tho ivory is used to raiso tho bark up on either side, so that tho bud may bo pressed into pince. The buds to bo inserted should bo cut from young, healthy trees, and always of the present year's growth, those that aro moBt mn turcd being selected. Tho leaves may then bo clipped off the branch of buds, leaving say half an inch of tho leafstalk attached to tho bud. Then with a kcon edged knife cut off each bud separately from a half to three-quarters of un ?neb in length, leaving a thin slice of wood back of thc eye or bud. These should bo kept moist and protected from tho sun or air until sot ; exposure even for a short timo may provo fatal. When tho whole top or any part of it is to bo budded over, select the spot for each bud in a smooth part of the branch, not too large, say from one to two inches in diameter. On tim part make an in cision through tho bark in tho form of tho capital lotter T, and raiso orseparato the bark from tho wood with thc ivory on tho handle of thc knife. Tho bud may then bo pressed into place, cutting off squaro the portion that goes above tho cross incision. Then with a strip of tho bass matting wrap firmly around tho branch above and below thc eye. fasten ing tho end of the strip by a slipknot. This completes the operation, which can bo successfully dono even by a novice in less time than it takes to describe it. P. T. Quinn ; "Midsummer Jtoliday Scribner." The Public Headsman of Derliu. One cf tho humbler Paris quarters has lately been deprived by death of an old man whoso lifo tili now has always been shrouded iu deepest mystery to his sim ple neighbors. Ho passed under tho name of Hans Frcich, and came from Berlin years ago. His habits wcro regu lar and methodical, ho lived well but iso lated, and took particular pains to avoid any stray German that might cross his path. When he died tho old man's care fully guarded secret became public. Hens Frei ch had been tho public heads man of Berlin. Headsman in tho truo significance of tho word, not n mero me chanic puller of ecrus and toucher of springs, like Sanson or Roch ; for during tho period he executed tho hautes ouvres of tho Prussian capital, ending in 18-10, tho nxo aud not tho guillotino was em ployed for the decapitation of criminals. Hans Freich was an artist, for not only could he removo his subject's head ata sin glo blow, but ho knew and respected that subject's rights and preferences. Ho did not affect to Gothic masquerade of black doublet ~~d_-1 L---. t-_" i_ black silk stockings, short, close-fitting pantaloons of black volvet, a black coat and black gloves. Ho would not touch tho handlo of his axe with his baro palm ; ?mi a\\ 'h? gold irs Prussia could have in duced hiti? to such a flagrant breach of scaffold ?tiquette. Frieon had no friends and too man) acquaintances. People all know him and shrank fron him. To cnablo him to have the hateful town he worked busily till ho had filled one of his long, black silk stockings with crown icces. and on counting then? found fiat o bau enough money to assure his com fort for the remainder of his lifo. That very day he resigned his office and sot out for Paris, whore he fouud quiet and unconcern, where tho children did not point him out with tiny fingers to each other, or thc women who came upon him shrink back in speechless horror. - A Frenchman, having heard the word press rando uso of to signify persua sion, as "Press that gontleman to take something to eat," took occasion at a party to use a term which he thought synonomous, and begged a friend to squeeze a young lady to sing. - They wero sitting together and ho was arduously thinking what to say when anally he burst out in this ..tanner : "In this land of noble achievement and un dying glory, why is it that women do not come more to tho front and climb tho ladder of fame ?" "I suppose," said aho, tying knots in her handkerchief, "lt's on account of their pull-backs." The Presbyterians.

The Presbyterian communion is one of bc ablest bodies of protestantism. It is ? hinted in Calvinism, and, indeed, what ?vc know as modern Presbyterianism latos from John Calvin, the severe .tu leiit and logical writer who left an im press on ineology comparable only with. ;hat stamped upon it by St. Paul himself. Almost a recluse, of weak bodily consti tution, but of a firm will and clear and incisive intellect, John Calvin must tlwavs hold a place among the great moulders of thc christian faith. Thc ivork he did had a powerful adjutant in the person of John Knox, whose teach ings havo indcllibly colored thc Scotch character, and in Scotland now we sec the fountain head of Presbyterianism, while in Calvin's own country in Switz erland it presents n far less imposing front. Thc doctrines of Calvin have nowhere exerted more influence than in this country. From the time of tho Pur itan theocracy to the present, they have governed the religious belief of millions ){ our people. Thc standards adopted by the famous Westminster Assembly in 1643 raauld the faith of n large part of Protestantism, and they have been little llTceted by thc theological turmoil of more than two centuries. The statistics of thc Presbyterian de nomination in all its claimed branches ihow a membership of over twenty-six millions. From these figures wo get minc conception of tho importance of thc council which on Tuesday closed its scs dons at Edinburgh. That conference, participated in by some of the most dis tinguished Presbyterian divines of this country, succeeding the council held in London two years ago, was intended to ?onsolidate thc forces of tho denomina tion, and to unite them in ono grent army ;nlintcd for the war against modern ikeplicism. 'I ho census of thc Presbyterians of thc United States shows them to number aver a million, with 8,039 church edifices, providing sittings for over three millions if people. They come next to thcMeth ad.istfl and Baptists jn tho number of their churches, and in the matter of ma terial wealth only thc Methodists aro thend of them ; wbilo the Roman Catho lics who stand third in that order, are behind them by over eight Ultana of lollars.-Ar. Y. ?Sem. A Man Survives the Breaking of His Neck Sixteen Hours. On Saturday forenoon a singular mid fe.'al accident occurred in tho second ivard of this city, tho particulars of which ure as follow : Mr. John Miller, residing rm thc corner of Park and John streets, was engaged in picking cherries on the nr/tmiuna rS a noir-hlinr nnmoil Pfrilil While" so engaged, and about 10 o'clock, he accidentally fell from the trco tn the ground a fall not over ten feet. He struck on his bend and shoulders, and was subsequently taken up in an insensi ble condition and conveyed to his resi dence, where Dr. Whedon was summoned to attend rim. Dr. Whedon found his patient spi^chlcss and semi unconscious. An examination revealed tho fact that thc man's neck was broken just at the base of tho skull. Securing assistance, thc patient's head, which waa thrown backward, was brought into its proper position, when it was discovered that [Miller was able to talk. An apparatus 3orisist!ng of bands and weights was ar ranged nnd applied, to hold his head in position. Tho singularity of the accident md its results caused several physicians Lo visit Miller during the afternoon. Though everything wa* done that medi cal knowledge could devise, Miller con tinued to sink until Sunday morning ibout 2o'clock, when death ensued. Tho iccidcnt. occurred about 10 o'clock Sat urday forenoon. It will bo scon thal Miller survived the breaking of his neck dxteen hours. Previous to his death" Miller's right aide became paralyzed, titer which ho sank rapidly. The de ceased was about fifty years of ago. Tjjjs afternoon at 4 o'clock a post mortem el imination of the body will bo hold by several physicians, the niojorily of whom ire deeply interested in this singular case, ivhich demon- ?rated that thc dislocation )f tho human neck ia not necessarily immediately fatal.-Syracuse, JV.

A dressing which is at onco agree able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing thc hair. \Fadedorgray Shair io soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair ia thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured b}* its use. Nothing can re store tho hair where thc follicles aro destroyed, or thc glands atrophied and decayed.. But such as remain can bc saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling tho hair with a. pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional usc will prevent thc bair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, thc Vigor can only benefit but not barm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bc found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs not soil white cam bric, and yet lasta long on thc bair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
