the accomplishment of the feat of mum
hering the hairs of the head. 1t an-
nounces that there are from 100 900
to 100000 hairs in lady's hoad. and
then computes their value by relating
an incident which it says happened to
Madame Nilsson during her residence
in New York city. She was at a fancy
fair, and an admirer asked her the
price of a single hair from her head.
She said SO, ''and ID few moments
the Swedish songstress was surrounded
by admirers anxious to buy a hair at
the same rate" The proceeds were
given to the fair. At this rate the
value of Madame Nilsson's hair is 81,
100000. So i4ss
Queen Victoria acknowledged the

is impossible for the Queen not to be
grateful to those who endeavor to nit
igate an evil of such magnitude as the
widely spread intemperance which un-
fortunately prevails. /"
