HAIR CUTTING.

It may be that cutting and shaving may
for the time increase the action of the
growth, but it has no permanent effect
either upon the hair-bulb or the hair.sac,
and will not in any way add life to 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 hair-forming 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 70 dark brown. In
addition, the ends Of very many Will be
split and ragged, presenting brush like
appearance. II the hairs appear stunted
IN their growth upon portions OF the scalp
or beard, or gray hairs crop up here aud
there, the method Of clipping of the ends
Of the short hairs, Of piucking ont the
ragged, withered and gray hairs, will allow
them to grow stronger, longer and thicker.
Mothers, IN rearing their children, should
not cut their hair az certain periods of the
year during the superstisious period OF full
moonl 10 order to increase the length and
luxuriance as they bloom into womanhood
and manhood. This habit of cutting the
hair of children brings evil in place of
good, and is also condemned by the distin-
guished worker in this department, Prof.
Kaposi, Of Vienna, who states that it is well.
known that the hair OF women who possess
luxariant locks from the time Of girlhood
never again attains it's original length after
having once been cut Pincus has made
the same observation by frequent expert
ment, and he adds that there IS a general
opinion that frequent cutting Of the hair
increases its length but the effect is dif-
ferent from that generally supposed Tnus.
upon one occasion he states that he cut off
circles Of hair an inch in diameter on the
heads Of healthy men, and from week to
week compared the intensity of the growth
of the shorn place with the rest Of the
hair The result was surprising to this
close and careful observer, as he found in
some cases the numbers were equal, but
generally the growth became slower after
cutting, and he has never observed an in.
crease in rapidity. / might also add that
[ believe many beardless faces and bald
heads in middle and advancing age are
often due 70 constant cutting and shaving
IN early life. TIE young girls and boys
seen daily upon the streets with their
closely-cropped heads, and the young men
with their clean-shayen faces are year by
year by this fashion having their hair

Thursday night as Conductor Winston was
taking the Lake Shore Accommodation
from Erie to Buffalo, the brakes were APP
piled snd the train brought to a sudden
stop. Up flew the windows, aud the passen-

track the apparently headless body of a
human being. The conductor, brakemen
and many of the passengers sprsng off and
ran back to pick up the remains. Upon
near approach and investigation the sup
posed corpse proved to be live young
sqaaw under the Influence OF liquor. A
red handkerchief wrapped around her head
and shoulders gave her a very CHASTITY ap-

to her feet she exclaimed, ''Me want to

kind-hearted conductor could not think of
such a thing and ordered her put aboard the
train and carried to the next station. some
four or five miles distant, Upon arriving
taere she was very carefully assisted of
the train, and as It moved away she placed
her thumb and fingers to her nasal organ
and went through a series of movements
that would have done credit 20 any gamin,
winding up with waiting a graceful kiss
after the conductor as she disappeared
