tirely hopeless atO beyond the power of medicine,.
I remained iri this Wretched condition for niong time

$OOO,OOO Sara Yearly by Pftrelidszng
SILVER'S MINERAL PAINTS,
IHB wonder ofthe age, nature ' s own productions.
These Faints differ from all others in therm ket
they ate not clays; they *metre little OR. dew easily,
and cover with a beavierbody than , white lead. They
neither crack nor, peel, and dry readily, malthig as
Raisicur STONE. .
COLOIIB.-Aee have seven different colors, eh:—
three Browns, two Chocolates, Black and Yelkne.and
by comblaatiou make evety variety and shade °tailor.
BODY.—These' Paints are .roperior in body (or
covering mopes ty) to any yet discovered, and pound
for pound will corer double the surface of white lead.
:Inc, or other Metallic Paints.
IRON.—To Iron they famish a perfect protection
against rust, for they contain no metal,which like
white lead acts destructively on the Iron; in fact this
Paint makes iron doubly valuable for building purpo
ses.
BRICK WORK.—They civet° house walls a much
heavier coating than other paints, and If sanding is
required, nothing bolds leo firmly or finishes so well
with it.
OLD ROOFS.—CIee us a roof, never so old and
leaky, Silvers Mineral Paints will make it cheaply
new and more enduring than it ever was.
SHIPS using this extraprdiciary Mineral as we pre
pare it for them, will he proof against the action of hot
suns, worms and salt water.
CAPITALISTS and BUILDURSare invited to make
strict scrutiny into the merits of these Paints. They
will find a very great reduction might be made lc the
cost of painting. These Painti arc purely , mineral;
all clays and other impuritiei are washed uut in pre
paring them for the market. They cost but half the
prlee.of white lead, and the same quantity will cover
twice the surface, and lanais times as long, which in
fact reduces the price to one twelfth. Climate has
no effect or. this Paint, and is equally valuable In the
cold Canadas or sunny Florida.
DIRECTIONS.—Use Linseed Oil, mix as thick as
you can, and use as other paints. These I'aints need
hat little dryer, and for priming and second coating in
alt housework they will be found far cheaper and.
more datable than lead.
Dealers and ronsunterscan procure this Paint whole

HUMAN HAIR AND ITS TREATMENT.
Among the races of men, there are hair of
nearly all colors--black.'brown, yellow, red,
and all the intermediate shades; green hair
belongi to certain sea kingi and mermaids ;
-blue beanls, however, are not uncommon in
Persia; a blue and yellow make a green, but
fashion has not ret brought' this cola of hair
into market, although things of a More ridi
culous complexion have at tunes been marks
of haut ton, and so may greet hair some day
hence. Black is the most prevalent color of
the human hair—then brown.. There are lank
bair,woolly hair, curled hair, soft hair,coarse
hair, and all the, intermediatecurls, and qual
ity of fabric. A hair is 11 tube, and the color
ed barber who mounted on- his sign, Cato
Jackson, "Capillary Abridger," had a strong
taste for scientific nomenclature. The color
given to the hair is br an ,oil which passes
up the interior of the tube. Ism is the prin
ciple coloring ingredient in it. The hair of
the human head is generally lighter in child
hood than in middle age, and it g rows grey
as old age advances. Many instan ces are re
corded of hair becoming su4ldenly' grey by
fear and grief. Byron has' ell pictured one
case in his " Prisoner of Chilton,"
"Sly head is grey, but net with yearn,
Nor grew it white in a single night."
The cause of change in tile color of hair is
not, very well known.
It is believed that a man ol 50 years of age
will, by otn' custom of cutting the hair, have
cut from his head about 13 feet of hair ip 25
years, and tie will have shaved off about S
feet of beard. Physiologists deprecate the
custom' of cutting the hair of the head, and
shaving that of the chin. They say that cut
ting th hair diverts the blood from the brain
to the surface of the-head. Bichat attributes
superior strength to the aucieats owing tril
their allowing the hair to grow without cut
ting.
When the hair falls from the head, it re
production is almost like,that of the/teeth
when lost by disease, extremely difficult—
perhaps impossible. Many causes contribute
to make the hair decay early in some people.
Intense study and mental labor tend to bring
early baldness upon soft-haired , people espe
cially. Men of literary and scientific pur
suits become bald more early' than those en
gaged iu physical employments. People ha
ving strong, hard hair, do" not become bald
as early as those who have soft hair. We
are speaking of the early decay of hair apart
from disease. - Dandruff makes the,hair decay
early, and there are Many other cutaneous
diseases, which act' destructively upon the
hair. Females do not become bald as early
as men. Thin hair on a man is not looked
upon as a marked defect, nor is a heavy crop
considered a decided mark of beauty. It is
otherwise with females; as of old, the long
hair of woman is a crown of beauty—a glo
ry unto her. To preserve the hair for a long
period, the head (while the hair is strong and
good), should be kept clean by being washed
often and carefully brushed, especially on the
crown, every evening. By wash' c , the head
with a solution of borax, say tw ce p week,
those predisposed to dandruff Wilt find per-
Ject cure for it. An article in the Phito
• 'sophical Transactions," says that if the ash
es of vine branches are boiled in red wine,
and this (the liquid) applied, milk-warm, to
the hair every evening, it will prevent the
hair from falling out. A mixture of good
brandy and olive oil is good to prevent the
hair from falling out, by applying it with a
sponge before going to bed, and brushing the
head well. The head must be well brushed
when these lotions are applied.
A plaster of honey and wood ashes, we
have been informed, will make the hair g row
on bald places. It is put on at eight b efore
going to bed. It is also. stated, in the work
referred to, that if 'a quantity of the finest
roots of the common burdock, taken out of
the ground in the month of December, are
bruised in a marble mortar and boiled in
White wine, say a handful of roots to a pint
of wine, for fifteen minutes, then strained
and the clear liquor applied, slightly warm.
to the head every night before going to bed,
that it will make baldness disappear. There
are many known cases of persons who had
their hair restored partially—a little fine hair
came up, remained lot a little while, and
then vanished. When the hair is once lost.
we believe it is not possible ever to restore it
as it was before ; there' may be some cases
of perfect restoration, but we know of none.
The best way to treat the head, to preserve
the hair,
is to brush it often, but not with too
hard a brush, and wash it every night or
morning with clear cold water, and rub with
a towel till it is about dry. Use a little pure
olive oil, hut very little, to anoint the hair.
Perfumes are an abomination to people of ex
quisite taste and cleanly habits. As Beau
Brummel said, "pure air and country wash
ing" were his cosmetics. Fevers of every
kind affect the hair and make it fall out. Af
ter a fever or during the lever, the hair should
be shaved or cut shortohis prevents it from
falling out.
There are powders for taking off hair.—
These are made of unslacked lime and orpi
ment. This is - moistened with water and ap
plied in the state of a paste. Unslacked lime
itself forms a depilatory powder.
The hair can be colored by a solution of
the nitrate of silver, dissolved in water, and
applied with a sponge. Jr makes brown hair
!dark, red hair brown; and white hair of a
reddish-brown. The liquid should not be al
lowed to touch the skin. A mixture of lime
and litharge made injo a paste with water,and
applied to grey hairs, will render them black.
It should be applied before going to bed, and
the heard or whiskers tied up in a cloth. It
takes considerable trouble to brush out_the
stuff next morning, and it renders the hair
harsh, a little olive oil is then necessary to
soften it.
To make a beautiful oil for the hair, take
a pint of olive oil and bring it up to 200° of
heat in a clean pan, (not iron), and add halt
an ounce of pearlash:and stir well for ten
minutes. Take it off and set it to cool, when
cold, a sediment will be found at the bottom.
Pour off the clear through a cotton clolh,and
put it up in a bottle for use. The pearlash
combines with the margarin acid-in the oil,
leaving the olein; this will not gel-thick and
will be free from odor. It cap be colored red
with garancin, (a preparation of madder),
but hair oils should never be colored. All the
hair oils of the perfumers are either of a red
or yellow color. This is to please the, eve of
the buyer, whomistakes an adulterated for a
superior article. Hair oils should be clear
and nearly colorless.' By exposing the olive
oil, refined tcs — descritied, to thesun, in well
corked bottles, it will soon become colorless,.
limpid as water, and exceedingly , beautiful.
Any person can thus prepare Ina own hair
oil. •
An excellent way . , to treat the head is
wash it every morning with cold water; and
dry it well, rubbing it stiffly with a coarse
towel. When the hair is dry, put on a little
of the prepared oil desgibed, and brush well,
but it is not best to use too hard a brush.—
On every Saturday evening the head should
be washed with half an ounce of borax dis
solved in a quart of water. This will form
a soap with the oil in the hair, and when n
good lather is made, wash all off in cold wa
ter, and dry well with a coarse towel, then
brush it down and sleep OR the subject. Next
morning it should be anointed with the pre
pared oil spoken of. No oil is required to be
used by some people; no more should ever
be applied by- any person than will barely
suffice to take ofl its harshness and render it
smooth and soft.—scientifie American.

In the Island Of Ceylon, the value of ele•
phants to perform heavy labor can scarcely
be estimated. A late; traveller saw a troupe
of the& at work ntirecilomho, in the com
missariat timberyard, oethe engineer's
department, in removing or stowing • logs
and planks, or in rolling about' heavy masses
of stone tor building purposes. I could not
(says he) but admire - the precision with which . •
they
.performed their, allotted,taik t unaided
save by their own sagacity. They were one
morning - hard at work th ough slowly piling
up a qtantity of elxiny. Thelowet row of the
pile had been already laid dovin, with math
etuatical precisiOn, six logs side by side.—
These they had first rolled in from the ad
joining wharf t . and, when I rode up, they
were engaged in bringing forward --the next
six for the second row in the pile. It wa
curious to observe those ; uncouth animals '
seize one of the heavy logs at each end, an
by means of their trunks lift -it up on the
logs already placed, and then anange it CTOSS• •
wise upon them with theinost perfect skill.
I waited whilst ;they thus placed the third
row,' feeling a curiosity, to know how they
would proceed when the timber had to be
lifted to a greater height. Some of the loci
iveighed nearly twenty hundred /
There was a .short pause before the' fourth/
row was touched, but the difficulty was no
satinet perceived, than it was overcome,—
The saga cious animals selected two straight
pieces o f timber, placed one end of each piece
on the ground,. With the other resting on the
top of the pile, so as to form a sliding for.
the next logs; and having seen that they
were perfectly steady and in a straight line,
the !bur legged laborers rolled,np the slope
they had just fOrmed the six pieces of ebony
for The fourth layer on the pile.; Not the least
amusing part of the performance was the
careful survey of the pile made by one of the
elephants, after,. placing each log, to ascer
tain it it were pe rfectly square with the rest.

/ HABITATIONS OF CRUELTY.
, At a late meeting of the Royal Geographi
cal Society, a paper was read, from which
the followmg,facts are taken :
" The inhabitants of the Feejee Islands
were stated to be cannibals of the worst de-
scription. Mr. Hunt, the Wesleyan miS
slonary at one of them, stated that 500 per-
sons had been eaten in five years, within fif
teen miles of his residence. When they see
a fine man, the remark they make is, "What
fine eating he would be." Some of them
eat raw human flesh, and chew it as sailors
-do - tobacco. They sometimes eat their best
I;fricnds ; sometimes they cut a piece off a
Man while alive, cook it, and
,then make
himself eat it." •
tt When parents grew old, they were kill
ed by their children.
.Sometimes they were
buried alive or thrown to sharks.. Women,
also, on the death of their husbands, were
killed. Ori..some occasions they insisted on
being killed; in spite 'of the entreaties of
their children and friends. It was n common
custom to cut ofi a finger as a mark of grief
for the loss of a friend; and a few people
were to be met with who had not lost a fin
ger from this cause."
Capt. Kellett and Capt. Fitzroy, of the
Royal Navy, confirmed the statements . of
Capt. Worth. A missionary informed the
present writer that he once'saw a long line
of stones which had been placed one at a
time by a powerful native, each stone being
the memorial.of a fellow creature killed and
eaten by him. -

FEMALE FLUTE PLAYERS
The Flute was invented by a Goddess. and
Sirens played. upon it. Although it was
more used by the other sex, there were ma
ny females who were celebrated as flute
players. The most renowned of these was
Lamia, who was as much celebrated for her
beauty, wit, and good sense too, we believe,
as for her ability' as a flute player. Her
claim to beauty does not rest upon tradition
alone, as an amethyst is in a collection in
France upon which she is represented. She
was born in Athens, but went to Egypt, and
soon found favor at court. Ptolemy, being.
defeated in a sea engagement, lost all
wives, who were taken prisoners by
.Deine
trius. Lamia, who was one of them, in turn
conquered Demetrius—although she was
much older than lie,,and he was-the hand
somest man of the age. Through her in
fluence, he conferred such favors upon the
Atheniensi that they deified him, and dedi
cated a temple to her, which-they cred
ruts Lamia..
iiiorace peaks of bands of female flute
players, and of schools for their instruction,
and Athena-us gives the names of:many,
whose beauty and talent captivated the hearts
of some of the most illustrious persons rot
antiquity.

and upwards of 11,000 miles per annum !
Surrounded the other day, by a detachment
of this puffing army ; the question was put
to one, seeming more wise than the test :
" Why do you smoke ?" The cadaverous r.i;L:
