FAIR HAIR AND DARK HAIR.-A writer in the
.aatk,ol0logicat Rereto argues that fair haired wo-
men are getting rargr in England than they were
formerly, and that the change Is theresllt Of "fp;
jG.ai seieciiGn, tue NJ htyinis dec lded prcfeT
ence for dark hair Mrs. sSaaeryiile remarked up
this fact some years ago in her valuable work
on physical geography she was of opinion that
fair hair WAS thrn much less enn,Ien among fiaI
berrd in her youth.
DIR. John Brddoe took the pains 10 collect some
statistics on thi, subject. He gives particulars
respe citing the color of thu hair and the social
diti0n of 1877 women who have come under his
observation, in his capacity of physician 10 tho
Bristol Royal infifmary. bf these '37 women the
3N was brown, that of 36 was
''dark brown,n and that of % was "biack.' ,.
Reckoning all the ''red,' the ''faiT,'' and the
HlrOsn' as ''fair; " aud only the ozark brown''
;,iid the "baek" ;.s ''dark' tie RESPECTIVE t,,iais
were thus nearly equal, bring 1 s.Iair'' and si6U
s'dark." Of the 367 fair haired women. however,
- per cent were single, while of 1863 dark haired
women only 81 5 per cent. were single. twoui'i
thus appear that greater prOporton of far haired
women ''live and die unmarried and without of
spring, anu thai The creqsins prevalence Of dai
hair in England Is due to Whar-siigitiy varying
the phrase which DIR. Darwin has rendered 50
famiar--Dr. BcddOe calls ''conlugaf selection"
IL should be noted, too, that DIR. Beddoe Inquire
es,aDiisi,ed not oaly that, speaking generally, u

women themselves the chances of marriage are III

hair. Thus, of the women with dark brown hair
wi,a cama under his observation, tweniy-lw
per cent. were singir, vhia oi tl.e A"in'a "ltt
