on with great industry and with an intelligent

him, and had copies made of his repl s. Many of

defniteness of its wording opened the fatal gap in

himself, and was sent off without being shown to him.
During large part of his public career he kept
diaries describing his studies. reading, work and
the people he met but in later years the
his duties caused these daily records TO shrink to
mere memoranda. The journals, scrap-books and

mind and the workings of his inner nature.

False Hair.

Not less than 80 per cent OF The

in this country wear more or less
false hair. This enormous con-
sumption of the artificial aud ma

fearful but true, that nine women
out of ten about the street, in the
church, or on the cars, charming
or ugly TO d line, have on wig or
u welt, a dandeau, or a prepared
net, bangs or waves, arranged at
the hair-dressers'.
The bulk of human aud artificial
hair, and IN fact of hair goods, is
imported--about 90 per cent, in
fact. OF the two, human hair is
the most called for. "Hair raising

The Great Salt Lake.

1t is well known that within q
few years past the condition OF tile
Great Basin In the interior of
North America, in regard to rain
fall, has varied materially, aud
that the percentage has been mach
more than heretofore; this fact
being well established by d greater
increase iu the depth of Great Salt
lake, Pyramid lake and some
others. This fact has been handled
about as conclusive proof that de-
nuding the country of its primatiye
forests would uecessitate great eli
matte change.
In the locality named, portions
of the country which twenty years
ago were dry and occupied by
dwellings or roads are now many
feet below water. At the meeting
of the California Academy OF,
Sciences, Prot. Whitney presented
a communication, stating that this
rise had been arrested, aud that
the level of the water was actually
descending.
Whether this is to be a perma-
uent change, or another alienation
occurs, cannot now be ioretold. It
is, however, we'll established that
the Great Salt lake at one time
occupied its entire valley, and thus
was Of vastly greater extent than
at present. 1t shows also that
general laws cannot, with safety,
