The Hair After Death.

Most people understand that hair does
sometimes grow after death, but there are
perhaps few who know that there is very
considerable growth in at least one-third of
the cases where bodies are inferred in the
usual manner. A story was told by Oscar
Wilde at dinner party in New York
which illustrated this fact. When Gabriel
Dante Rossetti was very scarcely
more than boy-said Mr.. Wilde, he was
deeply in love with young girl, and, hav-
ing poets gift, he sang poets love in
numerous sonnets and verses to her. She
died young, and by her wish the manu-
scripts of these poems were placed in a
casket and laid under her head, SO that
even in the last sleep they should be, as
they always had been, kept beneath her
pillow. Years passed by and Rossetti's 5
fame grew until every line of his eompo-
sition became precious, and some of those
who priced his writings most asked him
for copies of the songs that had been
buried. He had kept no copies, or they
had been lost. At all events he could fur
nish none, and when they asked him to
rewrite the verses he declared that he was
utterly unable to do 50.
At last his friends importuned him for
permission to have the original manuscripts
exhumed. He consented after some hesi-
tation, and all the necessary preliminaries
having been complied with the grave which
had been sealed for many years was opened.
Then strange thing was found. The
casket containing the poems had proved to
be of perishable material and its cover had

sponge naturally emits most fetid and re-
voting odOr, but the final washing leaves
them with that not unpleasant flavor of the
sea with which they reach our marts.
After the final drying sponges are as
sorted, baled, and then are ready for mark
ct. The grades and qualities are number
less. There are, beside others, the "sheep
wool. selling for about $175 pound; the
Abaco velvet $50 called from its vel
vety fber), worth about S1.10 pound;
and the "glove," ''yellow" and GRASSY"
varieties, all selling as low as fifty cents
Before being baled, it should be added, the
rougher kinds of sponge are trimmed with
shears and the big sponges cut in sections,
each about as large as cocoanut. The
test of the best sponges is their soft woolly
surface under the touch, and above all the
toughness of the fbers which can readily
be ascertained by tearing one or two OF
them apart The Bahamas, though pro-
life in sponges, produce few of the highest
qualities, which are used for surgery and
other delicate work These come from the
Mediterranean sea, where divers bring
them up, and some of the finest grades
have been sold as high as $50 or 500 a
pound

Thumb Portraits.
From the World of Wonders

From the World Of Wonders:
IF the "ball," or cushion-like surface of
the top joint of the thumb, be examined, it
can be seen that in the centre-as indeed
in the fingers also-is kind of spiral
formed of fine grooves in the skin. The
spiral is, however, rarely, if ever, quite per-
fect-there are irregularities or places
where lines run into each other here and
there. Examining both thumbs it will be
seen that they do not exactly match; but
the figure on each thumb is the same
through life. IF the thumbs of any two
persons are compared, it will further be
found that no two are alike. There may
be, and generally is, family resemblance"
between members of the same family, as in
other features; there are also national char
acteristics; but the individuals differ. All
this is better seen by taking "proof i'm
pressions" of the thumb. This is easily
done by pressing it on slab covered with
a film of printers ink, and then pressing it
on piece of white paper; or little aniline
dye, Indian ink-almost anything-may be
used. The Chinese take advantage of all
this to identify their important criminals,
at least in some parts of the empire. We
photograph their faces; they take impress
sions from their thumbs. These are stored
away, and if the delinquent should ever
again fall into the hands of the police,
another impression at once affords the
means of comparison. The Chinese say
that, considering the alteration made in the
countenance by hair and beard, and the
power many men have of distorting or al
tering the actual features, ETC., their meth
cd affords even more certain and easy means
of Identification than our plan of taking the
criminals portrait.

crumbled away. The long tresses of the
girl had grown after death and had twined
and intertwined among the leaves of the
poets paper, coiling around the written
words of love in loving embrace long
after death had sealed the lips and dimmed
the eye that had made response to that
love.
There is nothing improbable in the story
so far as it relates to the physical phen-
omenon. That hair grows after death is
too we'll established fact to be challenged,
and is readily enough to be understood by
any one who will give even little study
to its formation, it being an appendage to
the human form, and not, strictly speaking,
a part of it. 1t might indeed be almost
called friendly parasite.
A well known New York undertaken
said GA gentleman who had lost his little
| bov five or six years before came to the
| establishment where [ was working and
| said he wanted the remains taken up and
carried to Boston He had moved to that
city, where he had lost another child, and
his wife was anxious that they should both
be buried in the plot he had bought in the
Laurel Hill cemetery. This gentleman
was anxions to see for himself that every
thing was done right and went over with
me to Greenwood. We had buried the
! child and there was not any trouble about
finding the right grave and right coffin,
but he was nervous about it. He insisted
on having the coffin opened after it was
taken up and seeing for himself that there
was no mistake. | had it done and as
soon as he saw the body he said 81 knew
it; that isn't my boy. His hair was cut
short while he was sick, and look at that!
In this case there was rather unusal
growth. | should say the hair was foot
! long. In cases where the body has been
buried good many years-say hundred
years-the hair is sometimes found yard
| long on a mans head, and much longer, OF
course, on Il womans.
Another undertaken said that he was
employed at one time to remove great
number of bodies that had been buried in
cemetry which had been sold. They
had laid undisturbed for an average OF
about twenty-five years, and In nearly one
! half the cases the hair on the heads OF the
men was from foot to foot and half
long. In cases of women it was evident
enough from the arrangement of their hair
that it had grown great deal after death
There was no way, so far as he knew, of
determining what causes the difference be-
tween cases, some hair growing and other
apparently not growing or only growing a
little, but he said he believed that in cases
of fever there was apt to be such growth.
1t might be supposed that if post
mortem growth of hair is as common as
has been indicated mention of the fact
would have been made in the accounts that
have been preserved of the remains of noted
persons after burial but the only such in
stance that is recalled is that of Napoleon
|. Of him it is said that when his body
was removed from St. Helena to France it
was found that the hair had grown to a
great length.-NeU York Herald.

A DUDE DEscRIBED.-An "Anxious
Inquirer" writing to an exchange says ::
IL have recently read considerable about a
dude; now, then, can you enlighten me as
to what they are?" The paper in reply,
says: Certainly; easiest thing in the
world. A dude is a young man between
II and 80 years old, wears his hair shin
gled, affects loud neckties and paper collars,
has a lisp and stammer, wears skin tight
pants, and an extremely short coat, smokes
cigarettes and ogles the ladies. In fact, a
dude is biped of the ja-mule order, only
he cannot bray as loud, neither does he
have as much sense
