A Good Samaritan.

The following touching life episode is
from the pen of "Kate Heath" the YER
satie and always interesting San Fran
cisco correspondent of the Sacramento
Record Union. 1t is charmingly told ::
81 told you, letter or so ago, of how
| had seen woman nurse baby here.
| should like to tell you of another
whom did not see myself, but whom
friend saw and told me about A man
in the car, travelling with five children,
had come from the Michigan lowlands,
and they had all been sick with chills
and fever They were a little group
plainly oppressed with poverty, the man
himself and all the children were dressed
so poorly. And besides they didn't
always get out to meals, though they
carried no lunch basket. The mans
wife had but just died in the iowlands
Of Michigan, and he was trying to get
the children to her mother somewhere
in the State of New York. She left a
nursing baby, little, sickly baby, and
on the cars it kept fretting, fretting,
sometimes crying outright, but oftener
just fretting. Sometimes, the man got
it milk as the cars stopped, but it didn't
know how to feed very well, and he
looked SO worried. AS he travelled
along, the passengers from impatient
grew interested and sympathetic, and
some offered assistance with the baby,
but the man was obliged to them, and
he guessed they couldn't help him any.
BY and by, near the close of the second
day, at o large town, a fashionable lady
entered the car with her maid Her
dress fitted beautifully, and her bonnet
was very stylish one. Very soon her
dark eyes fell upon. the fretting baby,
and it wasn't long till she had worked
the problem out for herself As she
rose and walked along the aisle the pas
sengers looked after her. She stopped
before the troubled children and they
viewed her wonderingly. 'Give me the
baby" she said, and when she put out
uCI uuuuo IAC N4dluOAuS udSleu upon
her fingers. She took the baby, and
laying it over her shoulder nestled its
cheek in her neck as she carried it to
her seat, and the passengers watched to
see what she would do. Her maid drew
a shawl round her, the little head dis
appeared under it, then there was low
and glad little cry, and the baby ceased
to fret. The women passengers wiped
their eyes, the men locked out Of the
windows, and the father shed his tears
openly. BY and by the maid said : 81
am afraid there won't be enough for our
own baby" The answer was "Never
mind, Mary; never mind" and by and
by the baby's head fell back and 1T lay
on her lap fast asleep. 1t lay there a
long time, placidly sleeping, and after
while she took it up tendcrly IN her
mother arms and carried it again to its
father. When the cars stopped she
went out and her maid saw to the wraps
and the satchel. Whatsoever is done
to zone of these little ones" floats aloft
like incense to the very holiest heaven.

About the Hair.

The cause of gray hair is the destruc-
tion Of the top Of the papilla, or life and
color-giVing bulbs at the root Of the
hair Not only old age, but nervous de-
bility and exhaustion arising from over
work or dissipation, will cause the color
of the hair to cease, and there are many
instances On record OF the hair being
turned suddenly white by great shock
to,the nervous system, among the best
known being that of the unfortunate
Queen Maria Antoinette. 1t has also
been stated that hair will sometimes re-
jts original colcr again, as in the
famous case of Nazarelia. Nazarelia, a
man 105 years of age, was, in IVA, at
Vienna, presented by nature with a new
set of teeth and restoration of the
black nair Of his youth also, Sir John
Sinclair, q Scotchman, dying at ITO, re-
joiced in youthful head of hair during
the latter years of his life. "Variegated
nair, which is alternately banded white
and black, is noted among the hirsute
curiosities of nature, and green and blue
hair have been described by some
authorities but these colors owe their
production to the influence Of surround
ings in which their subjects live, .e
green hair belonging to those who work
in copper NINE, and blu to those
whose occup,0lon is coba.r mining.
Workers in ind,.o also have blue hair

A Heap Of Trouble.

A popular Macon minister recently
passed the night thirty miles below
Americus with backwoodsman, whose
house contained only two rooms. The
family, however, cunsisted of twenty
one, though, owing to a dance in the
neighborhood, only seventeen of the
children were at home. The minister
spent the night with the father and
seven sons in one room, while the old
lady and ten daughters occupied the
other. In the morning junior member
OF the family, in response to an applica-
tion for washbowl, brought him an old
rusty tin pan, and after the face toilet
was complete, hunted up about seven
teeth Of an old tucking comb for him to
arrange his hair with. During the pro.
gress of this important ceremony the
following conversation between the two
took place
"Mister, do you wash every mornin' r'
81 do"
"And comb your ha'r, tOop
eyes" ....
"Well, don't it look to you sometimes

Men who gain their education in pop
ular meetings, in the law courts, in the
clubs, in the world, are like crystal
carried away by a current and rolling
from stone to stone they lose all their
angles, though they may preserve their
hardness. Lemennais, on the other
hand, was like those crystals of quartz
which are found in clusters in some neg
lected fssure of rock, uncut untouched
with their virgin prisms anh pyramids.
The original of all men is the same,
and virtue is the only nobility. Talent
and worth are the only eternal grounds
of distinction.

came and occupied the rooms where she
1 had been. Day after day Edwin Colt
hurst watched tie summer ripen and the
green deepen in the foliag e Of the square.
Day by day he dreamed of her return
and OF delicious evenings spent within
her presence. As he drove in and out of
town, he conjured with her image until
all the recesses of his memory were filed
up, with pictures Of her. He would have
given anything he possessed to write to
her; but although the period Of their &C
quaintance had been long enough for
him to fall in loye,sit had not been long
enough to warrant him in aasking to:be
allowed to write. The summer waned
and autumn was at hand. Still no word

there touched by the first foreboding
finger of decay. .ga. .a> . ~.1.f 49, =.

In was in November of last year when
the first sitting of snow fell out of the

Mrs. Brooks looked at the mortuary
card and put the card and the letter back
into the black bordered envelope, saying
to herself: "They were both Helens.
Poor thing; we must be good to her, poor
thing!"
When Colthurst came home she told
him the news. He read the letter SLOW

for her. Yes, poor soul.''

Of the same kind were as near alike as

to the eye those of the same species were
as near alike as two peas, but in their
songs there was often marks of orr ginali-
ty. Gagged or domesticated birds devel-
OPP notes and traits of their own, and
among the more familiar orchard and gar
den birds one may notice the same ten
dency. I observe a great variety Of
songs, and even qualities of voice, among
the orioles and among the song spar
rows. On this trip my ear was especial
~ attracted to some striking and orig
inal sparrow songs. At one point was
half afraid had let pass an opportu-
nifty to identity a new warbler, but final
~ concluded it was a song sparrow. I
have heard robin with part of the
whistle. of the quail in his song. It was
out of time and out of tune, but the rob-
in seemed insensible Of the ncongruity,
and sang as loudly and as joyously as
any of his mates. A cat-bird will some
times show special genius for mimicry,
and have known one to suggest very
plainly some notes Of til e bobolink.
