ANSWBKS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Deb —(1) lam afraid an amateur would not make a euccesa wlfch the rabbit-tail rugs. (2) We have not only the tHver wedding to mark the completion of 25 years of married life, on whioh occasion the wife should be presented with a wreath qf silver, and all other presents should ha of lilver also, and the goldeu wedding, in honour of the fiftieth year of married happiness, when the wife should receive a wreath of gold or other .presents of the same precious metal, but there it alio the wooden wedding, in honour of the completion qf the first fire years in the wedded state, when articles of wood and knick-knacks of the same material are presented to the wife, and the most important of all— the diamond wedding, after oompletlng 76 years in the happy position of mau and wife, when it Is usual to give the ancient bride a diamond ornament. The period of 76 ha» been latterly reduced to 60 years for owrying out the festivities of the diamond weddlntr. In 1879 the Emperor of Germany celebrated his golden wedding. The custom is a German one, and its origin can be traoed to that country, where it is customary to repeat the marriage ceremony on the occasions mentioned above. Fred.— Thank you very much for your kind letter. It is very suggestive, and I will think It over. Yes, I feel all you deaorlbe. If you try theexperiment you speak of send them along to me.

You may mitigate them by attention to diet, but I am afraid no medicine you could.take would make much difference. Avoid all food of a heating nature. Do not eat too much meat, and do not usepiokles, sauces, or condiments of any kind. (3) Many preparations are recommended for assisting the growth of the hair, bub cantharides is in almost all the principal ingredients. Bay rum and cantharides is highly spoken of. Applb Blossom.— A chemist will give you the necessary instructions, and snpply the means for doing so.
