III DR.. Calvert Holland, an English physician,
ha, written curious volume, entitled THE Con-
sttution of the Animal Creation as Expressed in
Structural Appendages. Hair, horns, feathers,
and other "structural appendages, are the topics
treated Of by DR. Holland, and to discover the
constitutional Cause of their existence is the OBJ
ject of his speculation. The beauty of hair is not
a. many suppose, the cause of its production for
nature has no regard to beauty, but only to useful
ness The beauty lies in our perceptions and as
sociations-if il were natural for the forehead to
be covered with hair. we should call that beauti
full upon the principl of Sir Joshua Reynolds,
that the most beautiful is the most general form.
The argument of warmth, alleged bv others, is
weak for the hair of the head falls off get
old, and they are stripped bald at the very time
they want most covering. According to DR.. Hol-
land, every vital action implies waste,-by which
he Is understood to mean, not only that the dross
useless for the direct end as in nutrition is thrown
of, but that more essential matter 10 generally
supplied than is necessary to discharge the COM
mon function Of the organ--there is sort of re-
serve. In many organs of the sysem-in the
stomach, the kidneys, the skin-not only is the
refuse thrown of by material means, but anything
supurhuous or ''waste.n In some structures
where great preparation is made for vital action
by supply Of blood and nervous energy-aS tC
the brain-such means OF rejecting the superfiu
Gus supply do not exist. But is must be got rid
OF, and In the case of the BRAIN hair is the means
| On DR.. Hollands principle, therefore, hair is

SUMNER BOARDING.HOUsE LIFE

Who has not laughed at the exclusive cote
rieS, the pretentious upstartishness and the
scandal of our summer Spas and Watering
places' The Springfield (Mass) Republican
tells life-like incident which occurred at Spaf-
ford Springs, which is a specimen brick" to
sample any of our fashionable houses by The
hotel there was full of people, and they were
all sitting out on the piazza one evening, when
the cars came along, and young gentleman
and lady alighted with small show of bag
gage, and with decidedly jaunty and rather
attractive appearance. The register was con-
suited late in the evening, and it was found
that they were to occupy different rooms. In
the morning they made their appearance in
the drawing room. The lady sat down to the
piano and sang and played elegantly. All were
charmed, and the delight was increased when
the gentleman sat down and swept the KEYS
most skllfully They were an accession
veritable treasure. The next morning the heads
of the ladies were all put together, and the
beautiful songstreSS was quietly left unnOticed
A fact had somehow leaked out that was a little
suspicious, and there had been considerable
champagne ssent up to the room Of the young
lady Still, there were two or three ladies who
would stand by the stranger until something
stronger than surmise had been brought against
her. So when she took her seat at the piano.
they would stand at her side and tell her how
well she played. But from day to day suspi-
cions grew stronger. The landlord was ap-
pealed TO to turn the offenders out of the house
Every eye was turned ScOrntully away from the
couple whenever they appeared. But during
all this eOmmotion, the young lady was cool and
perfectly unconscious She came in and played ,
she passed through tho drawing room amid re-
cOiing silks with her companion, as they went
out to their daily walks, as if she we're a queen,
and receiving the homage of every body in her
vicinity. At last the day of her departure
came Arrayed in her travelling dress, she de-
descended the stairs, walked leisurely into the
drawing room, took her seat at the piano, and
after running over the keys, without removing
her gloves, struck magnifcently into the song
