THE HUMAN HAIR.-"Yes," said st.
Louis barber in answer to Il question, ''there
are a good many curious things about the
hair. l suppose you believe, as most people
do, that frequent shaving will make the hair
grow on your face. That is not 80. Just think
of it for a minute and try to explain to your
self how scrapng your face with razor can
put new hair roots in your skin What shay
ing does do is to increase the thickness OF the
hairs already ythere-not their number. In this
way frequently shaving makes the beard some
what thicker. But at the same time, of
course, it makes it coarser. A young freshman
with a little down on his upper lip might
spend his entire time shaving himself and ne
could not start the growth of single new
hair. The beard is not nearly so troublesome
to take care of rs the hair Of the head. The
beard is so much smaller and thinner, for one
thing. There are about 300 hairs to a quarter
of a square inch Of surface Oh the scalp, and
only forty hairs to the quarter inch on the
chin. Some of the hair follicles Oh the scalp,
particularly at the back of the head, are often
turned the wrong. way, making what some
BARRIERS call '.cow-lick." This makes man
heaps of trouble, but it can be cured. FIRE.
quent brushing is the only remedy for it.
''Hair dyes,'' he went on ''oh, yes, we all
have to use them more OF less. | generally
make my own, but could Duy JUST us goou,
though they would cost more. If you take
any half dozen of the standard dyes you will
find they are substantially the same Nitrate
of silver and sulphur do the business. But
there is not nearly as much dyeing of the hair
now as there WAS few years ago. Gray hair
is more fashionable, and it is certainly, pref
tier than dyed hair, which can always be de-
tected, no matter how well it is done, The
turning gray hairs is no sign of any loss in
its vitality 1t is caused by a weakening of
the coloring vessels, that is all. Tight hats
cause grayness, as we'll as badness, There
is something mysterious about the hair |
have studied it carfuly, and for long time,
and have come to consider mans hair as
something almost superior to the rest of his
body. 1t is nearer immortal at any rate. |
have seen hair taken from Il coffin that had
been buried for forty years, when all the rest
of the body had disappeared. Not only had
it grown long and thick after the death Of
the body, but it was still growing. Each
| hair seemed to have life of its OWL"

| AN EGYPTIAN KING.--It was desirable in
the interests of science to ascertain whether
the mummy bearing the monogram of ThOth-
mes III. was really the remains of that mon
arch 1t was, therefore, unrolled. The in
scription on the bandages established beyond
doubt the fact that it was indeed that most
distinguished of Flrgs of the brilliant eigh-
teenth dynasty, an once more, after an inter.
val of thirty-six cen ,uries, human eyes gaZed
on the features of the man who had conquered
Syria and Cyprus and Ethiopia, and had raised
Egypt to the highest pinnacle of her power, so
that it was seen that on his reign she placed
her frontiers where she pleased. The specta-
Gle was of brief duration the remains proved
to be in so fragile state that there was only
time to take hasty photograph, and then the
features crumbled opeces and vanished like
an apparition, and 50 passed away from human
view forever. The director told me that he
felt such remorse at the result that he refused
to allow the unrolling of Rameses the Great
for fear of similar catastrophe. lhothmes
III. was the man who Overran Palestine with
his armies two hundred years before the birth
of Moses, and has left us diary of his adven-
lures, for, like Caesar, he was author as well as
soldier. 1t seems strange that, though the
body mouldered to dust, the flowers with
which it had been wreathed were so wonder
fully preserved that even their color could be
distinguished, and they looked as if only re-
Gently dried, yet flower is only the type of
ephemeral beauty that passeth away and is
gone almost as soon as born. A wasp, which
had been attracted by the floral treasures, and
had entered the coffin at the moment of clos
ing, was found dried up, but still perfect, hav-
ing lasted better than the king whose emblems
of sovereignty it had once been now it was
there to mock the embalmer's skill, and to add
point to the sermon on the vanity of human
pride and power preached to us by the con-
tents of that coffin. JneXorable is the decree,
''Unto dust shalt thou return" Running in
the same line of meditation, it is difficult to
avoid thought of the futility of human de-
vices to achieve Immortality. These Egyp-
tian monarchs, the veriest types OF earthly
grandeur and pride, whose rule was almost
limitless, whose magnificent tombs seem built
to outlast the hills, could find no better meth
cd of insuring, that theirnames should be held
in remembrance, than the embalmment OF
their frail bodies. These remain, but in what
condition, and how degraded in the uses to
which they are put ! The spoil of an ignorant
and thieving population, the pet curiosity OF
some wealthy Yankee, who buysa a royal num-
my as he would buy sphinx if it were remoy-
able. ITO what uses art thou come" on

served How far better to have mingled with

THE SHOOTING SEAsON.-This is the shoot
ing season. The law for the preservation OF
the feathery tribe and such wild game as may
be too little used to the wicked ways OF the
SpOrtSmen to be able to take care OF themselves
now lifts it's protecting arm, and a campaign
of blood and slaughter will he lnaugurated
against the feathery deniZens of field and for'
est. 1t is now in order for city sportsman to
get up at three o'clock in the morning and after
filling his game-bag with such edlbles as are
warranted to sustain the bold hunter on long
tramp, not forgetting the flask of liquid anti
dote for malaria and snake bites, to shoulder
his five hundred dollar gun. and whistling for
his tifty-dollar pointer, HE him away to the
haunts of the feet-footed quail and the swift
winged grouse.
There are many good things to be got out of
tramp of this kind. There is the glorious
country sunrise, for instance. No man ever
saw sunrise in the city. In fact, the sun al
ways rises in the country and barely delgns to
come sailing along over the crowded town until
about ten o'clock in the forenoon, heating the
bricks to about the temperature OF the furnace
that held the Hebrew children. But the sun
rise in the country! That's worth seeing.
Not that anybody ever explained what it was
worth seeing for, but everybody says it's aper-
fectly grand sight, and what everybody says
must be true. Then the long walk invigorates
the muscles, while the deep inhalations of pure
air expand the chest, and send the blood ting
ling to the extremities. And one gets so deli
ciOusly tired. And what an appetite one has
after a six hours tramp through meadows and
woods. The thirst engendered by the unwont-
ed exercise renders the liquid refreshment car
ried in the case bottle nectar tit for the de-
lectation of the thirsty gods And such exhil-
arating sport, to be sure. Of course, the birds
nearly always get away, owing to the poor
quality of the powder in the cartridges proba-
bly,, but the guns and dogs make deal of noise
and every one gets excited and rushes around
ready to break his neck, declaring he never
had such sport in his life.

a. John NJ. Clay, the only surviving son of
Henry Clay, lives on farm adjoining the
Ashland estate, which was his fathers home,
near Lexington, Ky. but from 1864 until a
few days ago he never put foot on the ground.
This was because the property was sold by
some of the Clay heirs to the State, an act
which he did not approve but now it is owned
by Major Henry Clay Mcdowell, and is used
as a horse-breeding farm. John NJ. Clay is
now an old man, full of reverence for the men,
ory of his father, of whom he is having new
portrait painted ''It has been thirty years

OBSERVATIONS OF SOUND.-The following
curious observations of sound have been care
fully verified by an extended series OF expe-
riments The whistle of a locomotive is heard
$500 yards !; the noise of railroad train $500;
the report of a musket and the bark of dog,
1900; an orchestra or the roll of a drum,
1000; the human voice reaches to the distance
Of 900; the croaking of frogs, 900 the chirp-
ing of chickens, S00.. Distinct speaking is
heard in the air from below up to a distance
of 600 yards from above it is only understood
to range of 100 yards downward. 1t has
been ascertained that an echo is well directed
from the surface of smooth water only when
the voice comes from an elevation. Other
similar phenomena connected with the trans
mission of sound have been observed, but the
results disagree, either from inaccuracy in the
observation or from the varying nature OF the
circumstances affecting the numbers obtained.
Such variations occur to the extent of ten or
twenty per cent, and even more. The wealth
er being cold or dry or warm and wet are
the chief influencing causes. In the first case
the sound goes to lesser distance.

HOME AND HOUSE.-The inner instinct or
thought of the home fashions the house. Its
apartments grow upon this stalk. From kltch-
en-, where the animal is fed, the nursery, where
the training is ordered, the chamber, where
the recuperative forces are stored; the sitting
room where the social life is nourished. to the
reception room or parlor, where society IS met
and mastered-all these grow about the deeper
idea of home. 1t is this subtle and powerful
spirit that invariably locates the house where
the heart s The settlers cabin and the peas
ants hut clothed with this inspiration from
the heart, become centres of comfort and con-
tentment that time is unable to drive from the
mind. Life rises out Of this to it's highest
value. Thus the home becomes the measure
of nations stability. When man has a
home he becomes interested in the peace of the
community. He has given hostages against
mobs 1t is important for him that the pave
ment stones should not go flying through the
air. Both heads and windows require sa-
credness from those in which he is interested.
A man without home has little motive for
standing against public perils. If land does
not furnish man so much us home, he can
drift away when it becomes dangerous to re-
main anchored. Fill any land with good
homes, and it must'be good place in which
to live.
1t is one popularity Of the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pie that they abound in homes. The walls
about the heart shut ont all the world, and
shut in kingdom. This is the fort keep it
clean and free, and religion will thrive, and
liberty will dwell in the land forever. The or
der of life is housekeeping. Housekeeping
separates the family unit from the fragments
of families, and gives it chance for religious
and individual life. To live in trunk, with
the feeling that some one else owns the key
and may lock you out by day or by night
dwarfs the best part of mans faculties. The
little girl who said to her Sunday school teach

THE GLORIEs OF CREATlON.-Throug
the universe are scattered myrlads of star sys-
TENS, each appearing to the unaded eye as
Single point-so great is the distance from us
but each consisting of two or more great blaz-
ing suns, widely separated but revolvingabout
a common centre of gravity, and doubtless at
tended by planets traverSing beWllderlngly
complicated orbits. OF the double stars many
systems have components Of different colors,
the coors being complimentary. This pecu-
liar feature must producer u striking effect up
on the planetary attendants OF the col0reu
suns. ''What," says Mr.. W. Dobreck i'll re-
cent paper on double stars ''must be the ma
ture of those worlds illumined by two different
suns, one yellow and another purple NOW
rises the one and all is clothed in yellow, now
the other. and Illuminated from cOmplimenta-
ry sources every object appears in its natural
color. Then sets the yellow sun, and what
must he the diversity of>the effects as it ap-
proaches the horizon ! And behold, nature
puts Oh Il purple mantle. Then also that sun
sets, and in the darkness of night, though
there is seldom night where there are two
suns, the starry heavens are seen there much
the same as here, except perhaps for moons re-
tlecting light from the differently colored suns.
But stars that seem very large to us are hardly
visible there, while our sun is perceived IN the
telescopes of the mysterious beings that inllab-
it those strange globes as only faint star,
and metaphySicianS there prove from pr,0rs
considerations that no life could baSk in the
feeble glare of single sun-hoW all would

suns. And no doubt life there is heightened,

poor orb that is kept alive by but one SUM-"
\ JuDICIOUs WIFE.-A judicious wife, says
Ruskin, is always npping off from her hlls-
bands moral nature little twigs that are

thing, she will find some means of preventing
you from doing it. And by far the chief part

things a man commonly does are those which
his wife cOunsels him to do. a wife IS a
grand wielder of the moral pruning knife.
If Johnson's wife had lived, there would have
been no boarding up of orange peel, no touch
ing all the posts in walking along the streets,
no eating and drinking with disgusting vo-
racity. If Oliver Goldsmith had been married
he never would have worn that memorable
