THE HAIR.

The quality and color of the hair was a
subject of speculative theory for the ancients.
Lank hair was considered indicative of pusil-
lanimity and cowardice; yet the head OF Ma
poleon was guiltless ofa curl! Frizzy hair
was thought an indication of coarseness and
clumsiness. The hair most in esteem was
that terminating in ridglets. Dares, the his.
torian, states that Achilles and Ajax Tela-
mon had curling locks; such also was the
hair Of Timon, the Athenian. AS to the
Emperor Augustus, nature had favored him
with such abundant locks that no hair-dress-
er in Rome could produce the like. Auburn
or light brown hair was thought the most
distinguished, as portending intelligence,
industry, a peaceful disposition, as we'll as
great susceptibility to the tender passion.
Castor and Pollux had brown hair; so also
had Menelaus. Black hair does not appear
to have been esteemed by the Romans; but
red was All object OF aversion. Ages before
Judas, red hair was thought a mark of re-
probation, both in the case OF Typhon, who
deprived his brother of the sceptre Of Egypt
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT who acquired it in ex-
piation OF his atrocities. Even the donkey
tribe suffered from this ill-omened visitation,
according to the proverb of wicked as a
red ass" Asses of that color were held IN
such detestation among the Copths, that
every year they sacrificed one by hurting il
from a high wall.-Edinbmrg Standard.

Imagination Is not an impulse or a habit
which can be conquered by avoidance, it is u
mental necessity which cannot be avoided.
1t is as essential a faculty Of human Intellect
as memory, and while like memery, it cum
less be disnsed than memory, since, though
we may get on without conscious reference
to the past we cannot ignore the future, the
future of tomorrow or of the mex five min
utes; and the simplest forming of purpose
involves conceiving something hat has not
happened, or a distinct effort of the imagin-
alton.

THE phonograph threatens to be
one of the most dangerous things
ever invented The first thing we
know 1t will be- perfected so that
an enemy can slyly put one in our
private room or office and it will
record everything We say with the
unerring accuracy Of the forces OF
nature. Just imagine the tales it
would tell on scheming politicians,
on dishonest business men, on un-
faithful lovers! And there viii be
ne getting around it. In fact, we
don't know but that, in view Of the
immense mischief it may work, and
the sinister uses that it can be put
to, people would be justified in pc
tltioning Congress to suppress it by
a special act. Either that, or we
will soon have to keep the door OF
our lips with a great deal more care
than before the phonogra PHI was in
vented.

Boys AT HoHE.-Curious to say,
it is in real knowlenge of reading,
writing and arithmetic, that our
young men are often found most
deficient. Ask an average boy of
sixteen, who has been at a good
school, to read aloud leader in
any journal, and the chances are
you have to stop your ears. Ask
him to write a simple note of inquiry,
and he looks aghast, although he
has perhaps carried off a prize for
Latin composition. Give him a
house account book to add up and
request him TO make an abstract of
the weekly bills Of the grocer for
the month, and he is absolutely
helpless, and yet he may have
reached the sixth book of Euclid.
Send him to shopping, and he can
scarcely calculate what he has
spent and what change he ought
to bring back. No wonder so many
lads get into debt, when they are
obliged to cater for themselves, and
have never learned the price of
anything beyond lolipops and lem
onade.
The child who can read aloud,
modulate his voice, attend to stops,
and enunciate his words distinctly,
may be Ounce in other things, but
he will find the accomplishment so
easily acquired, of lifelong advan-
tage to him. Much may be done to
simplify the process of learning to

THE supreme court at Madison
has decided that the amount for
which building is insured must be
held to be it's true value in estimat-

doubtless have the effect of causing
companies to pay the losses Of the
poor as promptly as those of the
rich are usually settled.

AS regards occupation it is inter-
esting to note that while the clergy
generally have an average good
health, members of the medical
professions are subject to a high
rate of mortality, which up to the
age of fortyfive is, we are told,
much about the average. Chemists
and druggists, commercial clerks,
MERGERS, and drapers, also seem to
be less healthy than the average.
Persons eho work in wood, as
coach makers, wheel-wrights, car
pentcrs, joiners, and sawyers, have
healthier lives than most men. Pub
lcans, butchers, and fishmongers
have not, as rule, goJd lives.
Caryers and gilders, plumbers and
glazers, suffer much from the metal
ic poisons to which they are ex-
posed, while the mortality of those
engaged in earthenware manufac-
ture approaches after the age of
thirty-five, double the average.
Tailors and shoemakers are also
unhealthy as class. AS might be
expected farmers and agricultural
laborers are at the present time
among the healthiest classes, but
the young farmer, for some undis-
covered reason appears to have a
less healthy life than the laborers of
the same age; from the age of thirty
five and upward, however, the
farmer is the healthier of the two.
