One OF our exchanges thus reasons with
the man who don't take the paperS-cxcept
when he takes them from his neighborS:
Now tell you, squire, the day will come
when somebody will write u long culogy, on
your life, character, ETC., and the printer will
put it in type. with heavy black rule over
and under it, and with all your riches this
will be done for you as q pauper. Your lib
eralities, wealth and all such will be spoken
of, but the printer as he orranges the 'jpe,
vii. remark: "Poor, mean devil, he never
took the paper, and is now swindling the
printer out Of his funeral notice"
KEEP 1T UP.-We clip the following from
an exchange-and on it hangs tale:
"Whenever gentleman wants anything
published, whether it interests the public or
only an individual, he is willing and will
propose to pay. Somebody must pay for it,
and hereafter it will not be the printer. The
fact that the proposed publication would
interest the public has nothing to do with the
matter in issue. Newspapers are private,
not public property. They are published to
make money for their owners, and if any
body would use them they must pay the
cost. Never did we so to merchant and get
his goods for any public purpose without
paving, and if we and hundreds Of others

dodge is very, tiresome, it is very old, and
we hope to hear of it no more forever. If

it interests yourself alone or thousands: you

The william Tell Story.

Few more interesting controversies,
both in literary and m historical
point Of view, have ever arisen than the
discussion which lias recently been car.
ried on respecting the authenticity md
genuinencss Of the Swiss legend in
which tho archery fcats Of William Tell
aro described. Tho object Of this brief
note is not to attempt to settle the dis
putc, but merely to state that the story
has penetrated the arctic circle. In the
metrical traditions Of Lapland and Rus
sian Karelia, all the leading particulars
in the life Of the Swiss hero are closely
reproduced-unless indeed the story DO
OF Northern origin. In Lapland litera-
ture it is varied SO that the son is the
active, and the father the passive, per-
sonage in the tale. The latter has been
taken captive by a band OF Finn mArau-
ders. The former-a boy twelve years
of age-threatens the party with his
bow from n position Of safety on the
other side OF n lake. The captors
drCading his skill, promise the fathers
liberty on condition similar to that re.
lated in the Swiss legend. "Raisc one
hand and sink the other, for the water
will attract the arrow" is the fathers
advice. Tho apple is duly cloycn and
tho father released. The incident Of
the jump from tho boat is also rccited;
and the northern locality specified us
distinctly Ms the Lucerne Of Swiss his.
tory. The legend in this form was dis.
covered about thirty years ago by
Matthias Alexander Castren, native Of
Finland. In the Finnish and Lappish
me rical writings he also discovered the
leading particulars of the adventure OF
Ulysses with the Cyclops, "From what
original source" says q reviewer OF
CaStren's work, "or through what
channels these traditions have travelled,
II is probably in vain to inquire or dis.
pute; tho triumph of courage over
numbers, Of policy over brute force, has
its charm for the rudest nations, and
from Jack the t.Killer to William
Tell tho keynote Of the strain is ever
the same. -Gcntleman's Magazine.

Significance Of Hair.

Hair parting naturally in the middle,
and falling over the temple, rs it gener-
ally does in women aud sometimes in
men, indicates the feminine element !;
in man symmetry and beauty OF soul
genius OF n certain kind, which i'm
plies the feelings of the woman COM
bined with tho thought Of the man. 1t
is very common characteristic among
poets and artists, as seen in Homer,
Virgil, Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe,
Dante, Raphael, ritian, Handel, Mozart,
Tasso, Chaucer, Keats, Burns, HofI-
man, Longiellow and others. In pic.
tnres of Christ, and in other exalted,
highly refined and beautiful characters,
this popularity is always introduced by
the artist.
Sometimes tho hair, on rising from
its bulbs, turns in irregular rings on
the forehead, giving an open air to the
physiognomy. This indicates good ma
ture, as we'll MS exuberant vitality.
Crinkled and wavy, aud close curling
hair indicates vivacity and excitability,
il not brillianey.
Regular curls symbolic ideality, and,
when only part Of the hair is worn in
curls, are instinctively disposed over
the organ Of that faculty.
Straight hair may be said to indicate
in cultivated persons evenness of char.
actor and straightforward honesty OF
purpose, Ms well rs clear head and
gootlnatural talents.
The dark.haired races arc physically
the. strongest, but less endowed intel
lectually than the fair.haired. Tho first
are more inclined to manual labor and
active exercise, and the last to mental
exertion. The dark races are workers,
the light races thinkers, poets, artists,
etc.
Black hair indicates strength, and
predominancc Of the bilious tempera-
ment, rs in the Spaniard, the Malay,
the Mexican, the Indian, and the negro.
Red hnir is n sign Of ardor, passion,
intensity Of feeling, and purity Of char
acter, and goes with the sanguine tenn
petament, as in tho Scotch, the IRISH,
the Swede, the Dane, etc., etc.
Auburn hair is found most frequently
in connection with the lymphatic TEN.
poramont, andindicates delieacy and re-
hncment Of taste, and, il the mind be
cultivated, fine moral and intellectual
power. II is common among the Ger
mans, the Danes, and Anglo.Saxons.
Dark brown hair combines the
strength OF the black with the exquisite
susceptibilities Of tho light hair, and is,
perhaps, all things considered, themsst
desirable. s.-.l.asa

Adulteratiou Of Mllk.

According to Mr.. j. Alfred wanklyn,
the most common modes Of adulteration
Of milk consist in removing the cream
in greater or less quantity and In adding
water; and consequently the testing Of
milk resolves itself essentially into the
detection Of the skimming and watering,
and tho measuring OF the extent TO
which these operations have been car.
ried. For this purpose he finds II most
satisfactory, first, to estimate accurately
the normal composition Of milk, or at
least tho average limits Of variation in
this respect, and then to find ont what
deviation from this average is presented
by my giyon sample. The result Of
many Inquiries OIL llis part is to show
that Tho solids left by evaporation Of

DYSPEPSIA on ISDroEsT1oS.-Who OF

ills and varied forms Of this hydra-head-

more certain than that dyspepsia in all

Rich Men for the Senate.

Commenting on the prevailing opin.
ion that only rich men can get into the
United States Senate, nowadays, The
San Francisco Bulletin goes over the
list Of" wealthy" Senators
It Inns come to this that, rs elections
are now managed in n large number OF
tho States, the candidate must either
have wealth or he must be the friend
Of some powerful corporation. No mnt.
ter how much ability one may have or
how superior he may be in all that
would make n good Legislator, there is
small chance for him without money.
II he is poor and honest, there is less
hope for MIN. The Senate is filling up
with inferior mon, who, having reached
office corruptly, will thereafter legislntc
corruptly. II they were the tools Of
corporations before election, they will
be nothing less Afterward. The remedy
is with the people, Just where tho evil
has originated. II they are willing to
perpetuate this reign Of fraud, then
there Is no hope Of reform. The worst
men in the community will have q far
better chance of going to the Semitic
than the best, The recent exposures
Of bribery will not mond matters, Nor
can any reform touching the purity of
elections be expected to originate in
the Senate when so large number Of
that body Nre more or less tainted by
election tricks. The popular RnNthemas
go for nothing unless in some way re-.
form can DO initiated right downAmong

The Catch Of Seals.

The outfit for the Newfoundland seal
fishery, this year, promises to beunusu-
ally large. The feet will number TWEEN
ty-onO steamers, with but few sailing
vessels, and probably from nine to ten
thousand men will embark, this year,
for the ice.felds. A correspondent,
writing to . Halifax paper, from ST,
Johns, n. F., gives some interesting
facts relating to the business and the
habits OF the seal, whose fur is so much
sought for. The Arctic current, setting
South OF Baffin's Bay, ut this season Of
the year floats on its surface those huge
ice.helds, two or three hundred miles in
breadth, and Of IN unknown length, on
which the seals bring forth their young.
The mother seals deposit their young
in these icy cradles about the middle OF
February.
Tenderly MS any human mother, the
females watch over their helpless of.
spring lying amid the ice-hummockS,
uttering continually low whine, very
like the cry OF human baby, who Is
peevish or uncomfortable. The mother
seals fish all around, during the day,
and return ut intervals to suckle their
young, each having an ice hole by which
She reaches the water. The young, thus
rocked by the great pillows Of the At
lantic, grows ut n surprising rate. In
four weeks from their birth they are in
the best condition for being taken, and
the oil obtained from their plump
bodies is then OF the finest quality.
The aim Of the seal.hunter is to reach
them when in this condition, about the
middle or end OF March. From the
island, tho sealing vessels take their de-
parture, as soon rs possible after the
LIST OF March, and, steering Northeast,
dash in among the icc-fields, and beat
about in search Of the young innocents,
lying in herds, or patches" as the
sealers phrase it, over large area Of
ice. The young seals are killed by q
slight blow on the nose, and then the
hunter "sculps" them with his knife
that is, takes off the skin with the thick
layer Of fat adhering to it-leaying the
carcass on the ice.
Grave fears are entertained by some
lest the cmploymentof so many steamers
may ruin tho fishery, and ultimately
lead to the determination Of the seal, as
in tho case of the South Sea fisheries.
This is n hazardous business at the best,
and frequently those who lose theircap-
ital in il, lose their all.
The seal is the source of considerable
profit to the Newioundlanlers, and in
fortunate seasons some OF those engaged
in the business realize largo return
upontleir investment. Among the new
steamers fitted out this year, is the
Neptune, bark.rigged, with engines Of
100 horse power, the largest and most
powerful sealing vessel ever employed
at seal or whale catching. The steam.
ship City of Halifax, formerly Inman
mail steamer between st. Johns and
Halifax, lias also been added to the
fleet. Sailing vessels have but n poor
chance when competing with steamers
in this business. The use Of steamers,
involving the investment Of large cap.
ital, has n tendency to concentrate the
entire business in the hands OF com.
parntively few ndventurers.
