Preserving the Hair.
cents.

Since we were born with hair it is
evident that this ornament. given us
by nature, ought TO continue to gar
nish our heads even TO the extremist
old age. But in order to obtain this
result IL is necessary to take care Of
our hair with as much solicitude as q
nursery man bestows upon his trees.
All children, girls as well as boys,
should have their hair cut close up to
the age Of ten years. It Is the only
means Of making the hair strong and
thick. Many mothers will not pursue
this course because they think their
babies would not look so pretty with
their hair cut short "a they
do now with IL long and In
curls. But Is II not better to sacrifice
a little Of the appearance in youth than
to be bald for life at twenty-nve2 As
the region Of the top Of the head Is
especially sensitive 1t is there, above
all. that the hair should be cut short;
elsewhere IL may be left long. Weak
and thin hair should have the ends care
fully trimmed. Falling out Of the hair
announces itself by itchings IN the
skin of the head friction with rum or
brandy will cure the itching. For
cleansing the hair try soap and water,
hot. Many ladies owe their premature
badness to sleeping with the hair
closely confined. To let it flow loosely
is the best hygienic plan, as the air has
a better chance to circulate through it
and get at the rOots.--The Hair0Tesssw.

A Legislators Joke.

Hon. Lewis Barker was a member
of the Maine Legislature. OF course,
he was conspicuous, so too was his
large black shaggy dog,
One day when Lew" was address
ing the house. i'm the midst of very
exciting debate (he was well under way
pouring forth his smooth flowing but
impassioned sentenccs), the dog also
rose in the middle of the house, and
looking toward the speaker, commenced
a vigorous bow-wowing in his big
voice, completely drowning the silver
tones Of his master.
"Lew" stopped, and called out to
his dog: "Down, sir down. have
the floor. II is against the rules for
more than one Barker to address the
horse at one time"
The dog yielded the floor, and, of
course. there was tremendous laugh.

They do not cut off the hair of
women convicts in the prisons, and
they say there would be a tremendous
row if they attempted it. The matron
Of New York prison says that she
never saw woman who did not comb
her hair once a day, and the warden
says he has "seen men who never
comb theirs but once month" IL Is
added that "the most important ar
ticles about woman's cell, after her
mirror, are the comb and brush" and
it is asserted that physicians have
given as their opinion that TO cut

Pcculiarities Of Sound.

The following curious ob,rr vations
Of sound have been carefully verified by
an extended series Of experiments:
The whistle of a locomotive is heard
$500 yards; the noise of a railroad
train. 2.so0: the report Of a musket
and the bark Of a dog. l.SO0; an
orchestra or the roll Of a drum. 1900;
the human voice reaches 90 a distance
Of 1000; the croaking of frogs. 900;
the croaking Of chickens, 500. Distinct
speaking Is heard in the air from
below up 10 distance Of 800
yards; from above il is only un-
derstood 10 a range Of 100 yards
downward. II has been asccrtained
that an echo Is well reflected from the
surface of smooth water only when
the voice comes from an elevation.
Other similar phenomena connected
with the transmission of sound have
been observed. hut the results disagree,
either from inaccuracy in the observa-
tions or from the varying nature of
the circumstances affecting the num-
bers obtainedi Such variations occur
to an extent of ten to twenty per cent.
and even more. The weather being
cold and dry or warm and wet are the
thief influencing causes. In the first
'ase the sound goes to greater and
n the second to lesser distance.
