Somebody has discovered that when the
hair is light or blonde, the number of hairs
on persons head average 10000 When
the hair is brown the usual number is much
less, being only 10000, while black hairs
reach only the average of 100000. Blonde
hair is the finest. There are exceptions to
all rules; bald heads vary the number of
hairs in the count regardless of color.
Charles Kingsley, the Canon of West
minister, wrote in "Hypatia:" ga woman
of some two and twenty summers, formed
in the most voluptuous mould of Grecian
beauty, whose complexion showed every
violet vein through its veil of luscious
brown. Her little bare feet as they dimp-
led the cushions, more perfect than Aphro-
dite's, softer than swans bosom. Every
swell of her bust and arms showed through
the thin gsuzo robe, white her lower HsaabFs
were wrapped in shawl of orange silk, EN-
broidered in wreaths of shells and roses.
Her dark hair lay carefully spread out upon
the pillow, in thousand ringlets entwined
into gold and jewels; her languishing eyes
blazed like diamonds from cavern under
eyelids darkened and deepened with black
antimony; her lips pouted Of themselves,
by habit or by nature into perpetual
kiss" That's q warm picture for par
son to draw.

Expectation of Horses from Germany
Forbidden.

CHICAGO, March 2S. A Washington
special says United States Consul General
Kreissman, at Berlin, in an official dis
patch from London dated March 18th, con-
firms the truth of an assertion that the
German Government had put a stop to the
transportation of horses from East Prussia
to France. Consul Kreissman further says
that the Emperor's Council has passed a
secret ordinance strictly forbidding the
transportation Of single horse from North
Germany to any place whatever. Kreiss-
man considers this action as extremely sig,
nificant, and this opinion is shared by the
officials at the State Department.
tt would appear that either North Ger
many is making extensive arrangements
for speedily ngthening the entire cavalry
of the Empire or that the French Govern
ment isfor some purposes endeavoring 70
make extensive purchases Of horses in Ger
many. The best authorities are Of the
opinion that the first is the trne solution,
and that this is not = hopeful sign for the

The Cassiar Mines in Winter.

Mr. Sylvester, the express messenger be-
tween the Cassiar mines and Victoria,
British Columbia, gives the Victoria papers
the following information of the mines:
Left Dease creek January 25th. Weather
clear, but no signs of moderating. Two
feet and half of snow still on the ground,
and the cold was about 40 degrees below
zero. There was no sickness in the camp.
Forty men wintered on Dease creek and
vicinity, and so or 60 on Lizard river. Some
men had worked all winter and had made
good wages. Provisions were plentiful at
the following prices: Flour, 35c per pound;
bacon, 60c; sugar, 60c; tobacco, $1.5O; but
ter scarce, at 81 per pound; lard, 65; beans
45c; beef, zoe. Mr.. Sylvester reports the
roads from Dease creek to Bucks Bar as
very heavy. He came out with Mr.. Sulli-
van and was nine days on the journey.
Fifty inches of snow had fallen at Buck $
Bar up to the fourth of February. The
cold was about 42 degrees below zero.
Health of man and beast was excellent.
There was heavy travelling from Bucks
Bar to the Little Canon, where he met
Irving and Carson, bound up-river on the
ice. The same day he met Fannin and
Johnson of the Government Exploring
party. On the day following lie met the
famous Miss eastman and five men. The
woman was ON snow-shoes and was as jolly
as a sand boy. At the boundary post she
lost her way and was twenty weight hours
exposed to the pitiless pelting storm, with
cut shelter OF blankets. In all, about 4(
men were met going up on the ice. Al

Magnificent Garniture.


Mrs. Hooper sends this interesting bit Of
news from Paris to the Philadelphia Press:
"The Grand Duchess Marie, of Russia, has
recently made a marvellous purchase, in the
shape of bedroom garniture Of point
d'Alencon lace. which was originally man
ufactured for Marie Antoinette. The ap-
proach of the revolution prevented the
unfortunate Queen from becoming its
pessessor. 1t was afterward bought by
Napoleon !. as bridal present for Marie
Louise, and was again sold after the
Hundred Days. After many yicissitudes
this regal piece of finery has at last found
its way into royal hands once moro. 1t
comprises set of curtains, counterpane,
and six pillow covers. The lace is as fine
as the finest hounces ever worn by royal
bride, and the pattern represents baskets,
wreaths, and clusters of roses and lilies
il high relief in the delicate net which
forms the background of that most splendid
of all modern lace, the point d'Alencon
The price paid for this marvellous garniture
was only $4,000 francs (S5, ,O00). 1t has
never been used, none of its possessors
since the days of Marie Louise having
ventured to display such a piece of royal
extravaganza, therefore it may be eonsid
cred as a great bargain for its new pur-
chaser. It was suggested that it might
one day return to France in the possession
of a new Empress, the Grand Duchess
Marie being the lady to whose daughter it
was recently reported that the Prince
Imyerial was to be betrothed. But the
Grand Duchess unfortunately has no
daughter, which is slight impediment to
the projected union" i2 2

POETRY.
THE BONDAGE OF DRINK.

You think love it If this nerveless hand
Could gain immortal strength this very hour
Id sweep the whole hellish traffic from the land,
And crush its blighting maddening, nigntmar
power.
Yea, now, with my latest dying bre ath,
I'll curse the thing that drags me down to DEATH
Loveit? loathe it! Yet drink and drink,
And hate my bondage with loathing hate.
And hate myself as through the town stink.
The pledge! No, no! Too late-too late.
No pledge; I've tried it twice-a waste of breath,
Toolate! There's no release for me bnt DEATH
It's bad enough TO drink, but not to drink
Doth such train of ghasty horrors wake,
AS in one hour would leave me dead, think.
All, keep away ye fends for PHYS sake!
The very thought of them affects my brain,
My end will be when they shall come again.
Love rum? I'd love to hold my hand up high
And breathe Gods air free and fearless man,
And look with undimmed eyes on earth and sky
With steady nerve to do and head 10 plan;
Id love to grapple trials as they come
In manly fashion brave and strong. Love rum?
II only could come in to some land
Where no drink is, God knows how willingly
I'd fight these dreadful torments of the damned
That clutch the soul of him who would be free!
But marshal up those grizzly shapes of woe
To fall again as twice before? No, no!
All. if might have known how it would be
In those old college days so wild and gay,
When first l drank in youthful revelry!
How easy then to put the cup away!
mothers hope aud JOY Was / till then;
Now me trembling-lh! Those eyes again!
Back, fiery eyes, to he'll where you belong,
III drink you down-what blood drink blood?
Help! help! they coma hid ois develish throRg!
Back, get ye back! They'll, me in the aood
Long, crooked hands are Crawling in my hair!
Is this the end? Ua! hal Too late for prayer.

Public Works in Russia.


In addition to the undertaking of build
ing canal between the Caspian and Black
seas, 5000 versts of new railways are to be
built by the government or private compa-
nies one into the heart of Siberia from the
existing trunk lines Of the empire, seven in
the coal basin of the Don, which an Eng
lish engineer from a recent survey reports
to be one immense field of coal and iron,
and another from this region, called the
Central Asian line, to Tashkend in the
Khanat of Khokhan, avery important COM
mercial town, and the rendezvous Of tine
caravans of Turkestan. This latter road
will closely approach the frontiers of China.
Railroads are extending on all sides in Rus
sia; continuous line now exists from
Odessa ON the Black sea to Archangel on
the White sea, and the furthest extremities
of the empire are bound together by these
links Of iron, developing immensely inter
nal trade a nd productions. Nearly 12,000
miles of railroads are now open for traffic
in Russia, all of which are doing profita-
Bile business. The net profits of the ST..
Petersburg Moscow line alone. in 1870, was
Sc, ,440, $50, and those Of all the railways in
the empire, SIS, 8,6S7, 465. Comparatively
but little is known of the internal affairs Of
Russia, but sufficient is known to show that
no country in the world is making greater
progress in all that conduces to national
prosperity and power. - Phsladelf,hiG Times

He started off all right; but, pretty soon
she caught him feeding his mouth with his
knife, and she nudged him and whispered :
"You have forgotten use your fork.
He commenced again; but it wasn't two
minutes before she had to prompt him once
more. He made still another start and
another failure, and, as she whispered to
him, he threw down knife and fork and
growled:

Spelling Matches.

History repeats itself and so do spelling
schools. Forty years ago, all through New
England and the Northern States, the spell
ing frolic was an institution it oEtranked
corn-huskings, house-raising, apple-parings
and quilting-bees. In San Francisco a
thousand happy homes are now established
upon the firm foundation of q welded bliss
that found it's first opportunity of love-
making at a spelling match. Who, North
ern born, does not remember the spelling
frolics of the long Winter nights contests
and challenges between the neighboring
school districts when the nominal prize
was a dictionary, but the real triumph was
in the applauding bushes of the apple

with its nights of soft and balmy breezes,
make one forget the night rides in the
double sleigh, with ringing bells, when glrls
and boys, and robes and blankets and clean
oat-straw were mixed in inextricable coniu-
sion? or the jaunty cutter with its goose
.tA
made of crockery crate, with a village
sweetheart all warmly wrapped and closely
tucked in for the spelling school five miles
away? Those innocent amusements and
happy days we thought were passed had

to have these old-fashioned things restored
to lis. We shall hail their approach to
California from the East, and welcome
them AS we would welcome an old friend !;
and with them we hope will return some
thing of the simplicity and innocence of the
olden time, when dress was of less import

modest and girls knew less than their
