Should the Hair be Periodically Cut :?

1t may be that cutting and shaving may
for the time increase the action of the growth.
but it mas no permanent effect either upon
the hair-bulb or the hair-sac, and will not in
any way add TO the life of the hair. On the
! contrary, cutting and shaving will cause the
hair to grow longer for the time being, but
in the end will inevitably shorten its term of
life by exhausting the nutritive action Of the
forthcoming apparatus. When the hairs
are frequently cut, they will usually become
coarser, often losing the beautiful gloss of
the fine and delicate hairs. The pigment
| will likewise change-brown, for instance,
becoming chestnut, and black changing to a
dark brown. In addition. the ends of
very many will be split and ragged, present

Indiana Farmer: Don't kill the toads,

Each meal the little toad doth eat hun

lightning double-geared. And then he so
berly doth wink, and shut his ugly mug, and
