 PeriIS of the SeaSOn.

The inhospitable winds and chilly fogs of spring are unwelcome visitors to the feeble and ailing, and are by no means eongenial to the healthy. If there any germ of disease lurking in the system, they are to develop it, unless proper precau- tions taken to prevent such amisfortune. Bili- ous complaints, dyspepsia nervous debility, rheu
 matism irregularities of the bowels and disorders which affectthe kidneys are all aggravated by the peculiar condition of the atmosphere at this Invalids who are subjects any of these disorders OF have pr disposition thereto, should therefore forearm themselve against danger by strengthen ing the digestive organs, ,lthe nervous system and the muscular fibre with daily doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. There is period of the year at which a stimulating tonic and regulating medicine is more urgently required than in the spring; and there is no preparation of that class in which so many valuable restorative and preventive proper ties are combined in such Q perfectly safe and harmless form as in Hostetter's Bitters. It may be stated positively, as sunoontradictable fact, that course of this agreeable vegetable specific com menced now and continued through the spring months, will effectualy shield the $hhabitants of marshy and miasmatic localities from the inter mittent and remittent levers caused by unhealthy exhalations from a wet soil 5 .-E .--

AdulteratiOn of Milk.

According to MT. 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 the measuring of the extent to which these operations have been car ried. For this purpose he finds it most satisfactory, first, to estimate accurately the normal composition of milk, or at least the average limits of variation in this respect, and then to find out what deviation from this average is presented by any given sample. The result of many inquiries on h1s part is to show that the solids left by evaporation of cows milk vary comparatively little, in different animals or in different seasons, and he thinks that a range of from to 12 per cent. expresses about the aver age amount of these solids.

The Boston P0stOffice.

Washington correspondents say that the Postmaster of Boston has received an appropriation of $500, 900 for the con- tinuation of the Postofice building, as we'll as half 8 million of dollars for the additional site. The Postmaster has been criticised for too much attention to business not particularly connected with the interior management of the office he holds; but the Boston Trasa- script thinks if he succeeds in erecting 8 government edifce after the magnif- cent plan contemplated, it will be at once such an ornament to the metropo- lis and present so much of barrier to the spread of another confagration in the business part of the eity-shouldH the experience of last November ever be unfortunately repeated---that his present labors will redounda greatly to the advantage of the community,

Significance of Hair.

Hair parting naturally in the middle, and falling over the temple, as it gener- ally does in women and sometimes in men, indicates the feminine element in man symmetry and beauty of soul genius of a certain kind, which i'm plies the feelssags of the woman com blned with the thought of the man. It is very common characteristic among poets and artists, as seen in Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe, Dante, Raphael, Titan, Handel, Mozart, Tasso, Chaucer, Keats, Burns, Hoff- man, Longfellow and others. In pie lures of Christ, and in other exalted. highly refined and beautiful characters, this peculiarity is always introduced by the artist. rfe
 Sometimes the hair, on rising from its bulbs, turns in irregular rings on the forehead, giving an open air to the physiognomy.F This indicates good na- ture, as well as exuberant vitality. Crinkled and wavy, and close curling hair indicates vivacity and excitability, if not brilliancy.
 Regular curls symbolize 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 acter and atstraigh htforward honesty of purpose, as well as clear head and good natural talents. sz7ol
 The ,dark-haired races are physically the strongest, but less endowed intel lectually than the fair-haired. The 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. '-' =-'..ss =. :,
 Black hair indicates strength, and predoninance of the bilious tempera- ment, as m the Spaniard, the Malay, the Mexican, the Indian, and the negro.
 Red hair is sign of ardor, passion, intensity of feeling, and purity of char acter, and goes with the ganguine tenn perament, as in the Scotch, the Irish, the Swede, the Dane, etc., etc. 5=s <
 Auburn hair is found most frequently in connection with the lymphatic tenn perament, and indicates delicacy and re- fnement5 of taste, and, if the mind be cultivated, fine moral and intellectual power. It is common among the Ger mans, the Danes, and Anglo -Saxons.
 Dark brown hair combines the strength of the black with the exquisite susceptibiities of the light hair, and is, perhaps, all things considered, the nest desirable.

The William Tell Story.

Few more interesting controversies, both in literary and an historical point of view, have ever arisen than the discussion which has recently been car ried on respecting the authenticity and genuineness of the Swiss legend in which the archery feats of William Tell are described. The object of this brief note is not to attempt to settle the dis pute, 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 be of Northern origin. In Lapland itera- 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 8 band of Finn marau- ders. The former-a boy twelve years of threatens the party with his bow from a position of safety on the other side of a lake. The captors dreading his skill, promise the fathers liberty on condition similar to that re- lated in the Swiss legend "Raise one hand and sink the other, for the water will attract the arrow" is the fathers advice. The apple is duly cloven and the father released. The incident of the jump from the boat is also recited :; and the northern locality specified as distinctly as 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 heCyclops, "From what original source," says reviewer of channels these traditions have travelled, it is probably in vain to inquire or dis pute the triumph of courage over numbers, of policy over brute force, has its charm for the rudest nations, and from Jack the Giant-Killer to William Tell the keynote of the strain is ever the same. 70 Ge,atlenaa,s's Magazine.

FREIGHT CHARGES IN ILLINOIS 1871 the Illinois Legislature passed an act regulating the charges for freight and passenger carriage on the railroads of the State, and appointed Board of Commissioners to carry the law into effect. The railroads refused to recog- nize the authority ,and suit was brought against one of them and decided in favor of the State. This decision has just been reversed by the Supreme Court sitting at Springfield, which de- cided the act uncopstitutional,

NORMAL COLLEGE ALUMNE REUNION.

A pleasant custom it is, that OF the graduates OF
a college reassembling from year to year to ex-
change congr intermingle sentiments OF
good cheer and fellowship, and renew for time
those associations which made the old school lie
SO agreeable. II is a custom which obtains more
less In every college, and one which has been sus-
tained with unanlmity In Normal. Yesterday after.
noon, al three, Tor instance. the second annual
union OF the Associate Alumn9 was held in
the hall OF the college, IN accordance with
invitations issued by the corresponding secre-
tary, Miss M. A. Requa. The reference
made in yesterdays HERALD to tea and coffee
In connection with this event was proved by the
event itself to have been an over-statement,
originating probably in the enthusiasm OF those
from whom the information was obtained. The
only collation. served was an intellectual collation.,
and 1t was excellent OF its kind. The hall was well
filled, mostly with ladies, just enough gentlemen
being present to accentuate the light dresses with
points OF darkness The ladies who took part In
the exercises were T.. Ida Conant. Emily Cole Car.

"Went FOr'' Ten Poor Laborers.
Park Commissioner Wales was Yesterday en-.
gagged In investigating charges recently preferred
against General Foreman Manning, OF the Park
Department. by Foremen Hodges and Delahunt.
The compliments originally made their charges
at the Comptroller's ONCE, and 1t was only
indirectly that the Park Commissioners
came to the knowledge of the particulars
OF the case. As Hodges and Delahunt
aege, General Foreman Manning used some ten
OF the laborers in the Park IN the performance OF
work done by him for his own private emolument,
and which was not under control OF the Park Com
mission. The two foremen specified that they had
seen the men at work on this private contract, and
they gave the names ofthe aborers VINO had worked
for Manning. At a meeting OF the Park Commits.
sion a resolution was passed appointing Messrs.
Wales and Williamson az a committee 10 inyesti-
yesterday heard the testimony OF several witnesses
Commissioner Williamson being unavoidably alb

The witnesses examined were the two complain.
ants foremen Molard. Gill and Nolan; Christopher
Smith, contractor, and Justus Dearman watch
man. The compliments told their story az above
stated, but Manning when put under examination
explained the whole affair one of very ordinary
occurrence. He admitted that the ten laborers
were at work In taking rock from Fifty ninth street
TO Manhattan square, and the rock taken from
Fftynint street was his property; but two things
also were true, VIZ. That the Park Commissioners
were always glad to purchase rock for filing pur-
poses at the lowest price, and that when they
got rock for nothing as they often did get Il,
they always sent some OF the park laborers
