Grease on the Hair.

An eminent iermatologist, once
learned in the art of human hair, dis
courses thus on the human head:
ga word might oe said concerning
the use of oils, and the reducing the
bair to the condition of solid, on the
score of taste; and growing fashion
opposed to it, at least, the latter idea,
abundantly encourages me in uttering
that word. In my opinion, grease is
quite unfit for the toilets of the clearly.
1t is every way injurious. The use of
it does not seem refined, and those who
employ it have but crude and errone-
GUS notions of true art. The vulger
glistening of anointed hair is as often
sive TO n true taste as is the character
less, and therefore insipid custom of
plastering it down firmly upon the
head, SO much in vogue in every grade
of society. 1t is time that cultivated
and refined persons were resolved to
leave these barbarous, ignorant and in
furious traits to the more appropriate
keeping of their true originators, the
Laplanders and the aboriginese of New
Zealand"

Showing evidently that the cat tribe is
subject to this parasite. And of course
the parasite is introduced into its flesh
from the food. Did man use cat flesh
IS he does pork, probably the trichin-
issis wotld be much more common than
it is. Enthusiastically the dog is also
subject to the parasite, and all that is
required TO transmit. it to the other an.
imals is that some part Of the aninaal
infected shall by any process be brought
in contact with the flesh of the unin-
fected.
Now follows my suggestion. Hydro
phob.a is simply the result of tichinia'
sis in the. dog. The liquids of his body
are infected. His saliva, perhaps,
swarms with this loathed insect, or Its
Larvae. The egg or larve may remain a
long time quiescent until the proper
circumstances develop it, when hydro
phobia ensues.
However much or how little. these
suggestions may be worth, deem them
sufficient to give to the public, and
trust that microscopic examinations, oil
both. SALIVA and -mnscularifire, win be
made and repeated, whenever,a proper
case shall arise. - = s+-Al 6 y

The Late Judge COIiame- on Railway
PassRs

A little incident occurred soon after
his second election to the supreme
bench in 1850. which we'll illustrates
the sterling integrity of the man. Soon
after IT ceiving his commission as Judge,
one of the leading corporations IN the
State sent to him free pass for year
over their road. Shortly after receiving
it the Judge was holding term of one
of the courts in his judicial district, and
almost one of the first cases for trial was
a case wherein the same railroad
corporation was party. 1t was in the
forenoon session; the case was called up
and commercials as the judge said to the
writer of the article, II felt as though /
was sitting there with bride in my
pocket" Says he, 81 adjourned the
Court early for dinner, went home and
enclosed the ticket in an envelope to
the company, and deposited it in the
post office before / again went into
court, andIthat," said he, "was the last
and only free pass on any railroad L
ever held while on the Bench.

IA strange story is told by Paris COR
respondent, of Mile. Edith p, Q
young lady OF good family, but without
d fortune, who was, however, an accom-
plished musician, and who published,
some years ago, several OF her compost
tons. which gained her some celebrity.
IS she also happened to possess con-
siderable personal attraction, she SOON
had a swarm of admirers buzzing around
her. Unluckily she left in the hands OF
one. of. the most ardent amongst Them
some letters capable of being turned
against her. A German, great anna

makes her his wife. The baroness, get

from the letters before spoken of, en-
deavors,F by hook or by crook, to get
them into her hands. "Ce que femme

proverb; and so by a series OF romantic
incidents she succeeded in recovering
them all; but instead of making an auto

of the dangerous missiyes, she places
them In a private drawer to re-read once
again the follies OF, her youth. Sudden

the. letters have disappeared have been
stolen, In fact, from her desk.
A month passes and no clue is found
TO the thief, till, only few days ago, a
man calling himself q business agent

vate nature. He, of course, is the pos
SCISSOR of the letters. having bought
them from her ex-femnae- de-cbdnb'e , and
in true dramatic style he demands an
exorbitant sum for their return. If she
refuses, they win be made public, end
that in such way as to ruin the reputa-

rude that the high-spirited woman, los

A New Way Of Getting Young and Hand-
some Wife,

A Garaf-axa correspondent OF the
Guelph Canada Vest Advertiser gets
off the following:
The young men in one of our neigh
boring townships recently experienced
a considerable amount of chagrin when
the fact became known that an old gray
headed man widower had been married
to one OF the most beautiful young wO-
men in this part of the country. AS the
affair appeared rather singular, some
persons have been induced TO make
inquiries respecting the manEer in
which the courtship was conducted, and
certainly, if their account be true, they
have been well repaid for their labor
They saw that the first step taken by
I the aged lover was to go and see an old
gypsy to go and tell the young lady's for
tune, he having dictated the words,
which were as follows: my dear young
lady, your star will soon be hid for a
short time by very dark cloud, but
when it reappears it will continue to
shine with uninterrupted splendor to
the end of your days. Before one week,
wealthy oldwidower, wearing a 81 j.
of black clothes and a castor hat, will
pay you visit and request your hand
In marriage. You will accept his offer,
become his wife, and be left widow in
possession of all his property before
the close OF this year. Your next hus-
band will be the young man of whom
you think most at present" Three
days after, the old gentleman, being
dressed in the manner described by the
gypsy, presented himself to the young
lady, obtained her consent, soon after
had the marriage ceremony performed,
and thus became the possessor of one
OF the prettiest little wives on this side
of Guelph or any other place. !.

HYdrOphObla.

correspondent of the Chicago
Times suggests the following theory in
regard to hydrophobia:
1t is well established that the hog,
and probably the dog, are subject to be
infested with parasitic animacules, which
live upon the muscular fibres of the
BODY. Having once obtained location
- . in. the flesh of the hog, thiYsmall flesh
worm riots in feasting, and procreates
until all the muscular fibres of the ami
NAL are imbued with double life-its
as own and that OF tie parasite. Its lar
vac often survive the brine and. smok--
ing of preserving the pork, and
$50 even the cooking; and, when received
into the stomach of the lover of picked
ID. .-.t - pork or of hams, are developed, and
commence their raTages in the human
.,. system. This parasite is called trichin-
a us and when received into the human
s-4 system produces disease often mistak-
F en- for typhus fever, but which when
s- known is called trichiniasis. It has
thus far defed the medical faculty, and
is incurable. Space will not permit q
statement of its symptoms and charac-
ter The quite recent case of poison

which resulted in the death of some so
or 80 persons who had partaken at a
feast of a savorite dish of smoked and

been the result of eating meat infected
