Blonde Hair Changed to Black.
Washington Post.

At meeting Of the Biological Soci-
ETY., held at the Smithsonian Institution
last evening, DIR. ID. W. Prentiss read a
paper entitled "Notes on the Action of
Pei cdrpus penndtitoli,ts in Changing the
Color of Human Hair" Professor
Prentiss' paper recorded very remark
able case of the change in color of the
hair of lady patient in this city, who
had been treated several months for
blood poisoning, with jaborandi, Bra
lillian plant used in medicine. This
medicine which is gwen to produce
sweating in certain rare cases, was first
given to the patient in simultaneous
injections, in December last. At that
time and previously her hair was
light blonde. but within about two
weeks change toward darker color
was perceptible, which increased, until
in the middle of January the hair be-
came of a chestnut-brown color. In
May the color was nearly pure black,
which it still. .etains, although there IS
a slightly apparc tendency to return
again to a lighter color. AS this is the
only recorded case of this plant which
is not, however, in common use) hav-
ing produced any perceptible change
in the color of human hair, it becomes
a matter of interest to know
how this ange was brought about and
how often it might accompany the use
of this remedy. A microscopic exam
ination shows the hair to contain a
greatly increased quantity of p igment
matter, and scientists now await with
interest the results of future growths to
ascertain whether they will retain their
old color or retain that newly acquired.

THE OLD SHIP.

The ship is old he said but she and

In doubtful ways, where streaming clouds hung

In perilous ways, where oft with woful cry
We've heard the drowning sink to their last

She has not failed US once through weary
years
She's known my hand upon her helm fer years.
Some day, when great winds blow and temPests
While every man stands at his post, we'll sail
Unto that sea whence no man ever steers"
The words rang in my heart AID sleeping so,
said unto the ship, In wild woods green
Thv mates in freest lite are strong and green,
Their branches in the woods to fresh winds blow,
And at their roots the sweet wild blossoms grow
In the far forest thou had happier been"
Not 90. not 50 !" the tossing ship replied.
Though daily winds and storms | have with
stood
Though oft the battles storm have withstood,
Mind of mans mind, together we've defed
The lannon's rage: the tempest's wind and tide,
Grander such life than blowing in the wood.
The forest trees shall find a slow decay,
l shall go down at once-the mighty deep
Shall find me room below her lowest deep
and the noble hearts bear some day,
Doing our very best, shall pass away,
And men in honor shall our memory keep"
The dream was but parable. Dear heart,
The sternest duty is the sweetest rest
The constant duty is the surest rest
Be clad if storm and struggle are thy part
If death should walk with duty, do not start.
Called from thy work An surely that is b est
