Lulu Vcling, the youthful pianist, is one of the musical prodigies of the age. She was born in l’ottsville, September 19, 1863, and from her earliest youth evinced great love for music, and took her first lesson on the piano at the age of 5. In 1878 she made her first appearance as a. public performer and was overwhelmed with praises. Her reper- toire includes the music of Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Tlialbcrg, Tuuhert, Searlotti and other well-knowncomposers, all of which she playes without notes.

Tlicf ling out of the hair, the accumulations of dan- druff, and the premature chance in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the fair. To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin under the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article has been discovered, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost in their natur- al state. Petroleum oil is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but it is after the best refined article has been chemically treated, and completely deodorised, that it is in proper condition for the toilet and receives the name of Carbo- line. It was in far-off Russia thcefi'ccts of petroleum upon the hair were first observed, a government officer having noticed thata partially bald headed servant of his when trimming the lamp, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months, a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before. The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cat- tle plague, and the results were as ra id as they~were marvellous. The manes an tails of horses, which had fallen out, were com- pletely restored in a few weeks. These ex- periments were heralded to the world, but the knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has over- come the difficulty, and by a process known only to himself he has, after Very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in per- fecting Carboline, which renders it suscepti- ble of being handled as daintilv as the famous EAU DE COLOGNE. The experiments with the dcodorized liquid, on the human hair and skin, were attended with the most astonishing results. A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigour to the scalp and the hair. , Every particle of dandruff dis- appears on the first or second dressing, all cutaneous diseases of the skin and scalp are rapidly and permanently healed, and the liquid, so searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots of the hair at once, and sets up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are made from petroleum, and by some mysterious operation of nature the use of this article gi‘adunl‘y imparts a bean- tiful light brown color to the hair, which by continued uso, deepens to a black. The length of time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is the most wonderful dzscovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and grey rejoice.
