FALSE HMR.-A recent article in the Brit
ish Medical journal is well calculated to
alarm that large class of our fair country
women who indulge in this deceitful luxury.
Indeed. the very unintelligibleness Of the
terms used by the writer to express his sense
of the dangers of spurious tresses, Is all the
more likely to excite the fears of sensitive
females. \ hard scientific name is always
somewhat alarming to common minds, and
becomes still more so when it is designedly
used to describe dangers that are remote
from popular observation. When, therefore,
we are warned by grave medical authority
that every hair in false plait ends with =
nodoSity. that each nodosity contains fifty
rsorosperms." and each psorosperm throws
of minute spheres which become - pseudo
navioalle, p" we really feel as alarmed as the
yitGperatiye ishwoman whom DIR. johnson
conf0unled by calling her an individual.
Our anxiety thus worked up to sensation
pitch, is increased when the - demnition
total. e" as Mr. Alantalini would say, of these
products Is made known. 1t appears that
the number of psorosperms in ball room
containing fifty ladies wearing IA lse plalts Is
not less than Is 200 900, which, when in
hailed. make their way into the circulation
and bring on =; cardiac affections. This
is certainly terrible state of things. Car
diac affections. as the term implies, are atiec-
tions Of the heart. 50 that false hair intensi-
6es the dangers which are caused by real
hair. When Pope wrote that . beauty
draw as by a single hair he had no idea
of the influence of such tendril when arm
ed with nodosity, with its fifty psoro-
sperms. all throwing off spheres that are
transformed into pseudo-nayicule, unless IN

Dayy found not only that these materials

that in the selection OF winter clothing. and

habit Of wearing these articles for hours In

WORK AND PLAY.-Men differ in their
opinions in regard to what is work and
what play lie who through the long sam
mer day swings a sledse, Prshes plane, or
follows plow, naturally enough imagines
that having nothing to DO is blissful condi-
tion of affairs, ard that play is a state Of
rest or idleness on the other hand, an able
bodied man, possessed Of an active brain,
finds doing nothing the hardest kind ofwork.
In these later years, no small amount Of at
tention is paid to muscle. Brain feels the
need of Drawn. Vigorous physical exercise,
even though it be for the time latiguing, i
not necessarily an unpleasant excitement,
and the reward it brings, in red blood, diges-
ton and sleep, is well worth having. \
great deal of our play is work Of the rough
est kind. This is true ofrowing, swimming,
ball playing, and hundred other delightful
exercises He who follows a trout stream
all day may call the sport by whatever name
he chooses, but it is work nevertheless Oi
all work, brain labor is the most iatiguing.
One can drop the implements Of his trade,
and the days work is ended but the care>
of the Office and the business across the
threshold of home, mar the peace Of tho
dinner-hour, and frighten away sleep, or at
least haunt ones dreams.
