Late in the year 1926 was lying in the har
Dor of Charleston, advertised to sail for Ha-
vana. The day before clearing, handsome
young SPaniard came on board, and introduced
himself as Senior de Soto, asked me in excellent
English, when was to sail, and if could take
another passenger.
Il sail to morrow and can accommodate two
or three more passengers, replied.

laugh.
And pray what was it, Senor?' asked
20, rare good fortune, he returned promptly
Il was out about six weeks ago, when one
morning, after a terrible storm, discovered a
ship on the reef, in most dangerous situation.
Her deck was crowded with men, and saw
at glance that the vessel could not hold to-
gether four hours. ran under her stern and
made a bargain with the poor wretches to take
them off,

The vessel was from New York, and saved
the lives of her crew and passengers, at round

with the wreckers life; abandoned it, and
have been enjoying myself between New Or

LENGTH OF THE HUMAN IIAIR.-The ordi-
nary length of the hair of The head, as dedu-
ced from its measurement i'll women, ranges
between twenty inches and yard, the latter
being considered as unusually long. BIT in
some instances the lcugth is much greater:
as in the case of the lady in whom, am in
formed, it measures two yards, and trails on
the ground when she stands erect. When,
however, hair is kept closely shaved, it ap-
pears TO become persistent, and at the same
time increases in strength and bulk. 1t has
been calculated by curious investigator
(WiihoO that the hair of the beard grows at
the rate Of line and half in the week, this
will give length of six inches and half in
the course of Il year, and for Il man eighty
years of age, twenty-sevon feet which have
fallen before The edge of razor. Such an
amount of growth appears in nowise remark
able when we learn from Eblc that in the
princes court at Eldam, there is full-lcnoth
painting of a carpenter whose beard was nine
feet long, so that when engaged at work, he
was obliged 10 carry it in bag; and that
the burgomcster, Hans Stomngcn, having
upon one occasion forgotten TO hold up his
beard, trod upon il as he ascended the stair
case leading 10 the council chamber of Brunn,
and was thereby thrown down and killed
Wilson on the skin.
