Stylish Hair Cutting,

There has been a great change in
the fashion of hair cutting within the
past year or two" said an old German
barber in park place shop. He was
q typical German. with red nose,
big mustachc. thick Speech and SER
ious manner. He stood erect as beiit-
ting an eX-member of the German
Fifth Regiment, and his highest ambi-
ton for the past twenty years has been
to be a good barber.
"A year or so ago." he continued,
Every many men wore their hair quite
long: it was no uncommon thing to see
men Of fashion with locks curling about
their ears and a plentiful shock of hair
behind. Now. however, every man
who has any care for appearances at
all keeps the hair at the sides and back
Of his head clipped close; the hair is
shaved down until, about the ears and
the neck, it is clipped as closely as it is
possible for shears to take it off. 1t
grows longer as you go near the top OF
the head, and when yQu reach the part
at the side or in the middle, II is an
inch or so in length. We no longer
shave necks. l have no doubt you re-
member when IL " as quite the custom
to cut a mans hair III a seml-circle be-
hind and then shave his neck up to the
point where tho hair began to grow. 1t
is pernicious custom. IL makes the
hair grow in stiff bristles down to the
shoulders. and if | shave a neck once
the chances are l shall have to do it
always. The fashion which so many
Young men, particularly office boys,
praeticed last year, of banging their
hair, is no longer in style, nor is it
proper to brush the hair at :he sides of
the head forward over the ears. The
majority of very fashionable customers
now part their hair iii the middle, or
SO near it that there is no telling the
difference. and that they brush it back
from the foreheaI on either side, and
also brush it back from the ears. But
the one particular point of all is to keep
all thai part OF the hair which shows
under your hat clipped close to the
head: on the top of Your head II may
be as long as you choose. The locks
Struggling around the collar are away
out 81 style.
What about the French method of
dressing the hair, which so many men
copied last year?'
That was run to death by the office
boys and clerks, and so had 10 be given
up. The English model is now the one
we all follow. II strikes ME that the
average American has no dearer ambi-
ton just now than to present the APP
pearance of an Englishmen. "-Netc

The Lake Of Como.

The fate of things of beauty is TO be-
come hackneyed. The choicest poetry
and music are repeated until everybody
is tired of them; the master pieces OF
art are yulgarized by constant repro
duction, and even the beauties of Ma
ture lose their freshness by being over
run and over praised. The lake of
Como has come to be mere by-word
for beauty; it can hardly be mentioned
without an apology, yet it is impossi-
BILE to pass by the Helen of Italian wa
tiers in silence. Many mountains,
streams, and cascades have an individ-
uality of their own; the presence of the
unseen genius loci is felt, often uncon-
sciously, by mankind One might sup
pose that this influence would be strong
est where Natures haunts are still in
violate, among solitary peaks and path
less woods; but for me, at least, the
lake OF Como possesses it in the high
est degree,-a personality so distinct
and feminine that beautiful woman
might be jealous of it. The charm does
not lie exclusively in the scenery, but
Is composite result of climate. atmos-
phere, cultivation, and also, in sub
tie, unrecognized way, of the works of
art which are scattered along its shores.
The lake of Como is no mountain
nymph, but is like Titan Venus lying
naked on magnificent couch with
pearls braided in her hair.
The sheet of water is shaped like a
long fish with a cloyen tail, the three
portions being of about equal size, the
lower ones divided by broad wedge
OF land, the base of which to the south
ward, is known as the Brianza. the
point being the promontory of Bella
gio. Each has its characteristics; the
two lower bays or branches are called
respectively the lakes of Lecco and
Como, the latter giving its name and
fame to the whole expanse. There are
none OF the grand and rugged features
of Lago Maggiore here; the prospect
is soft and alluring, embellished by two
thousand years of cherishing care. The
ancients were drawn hither from dis
tant parts of Italy, and from the days
OF Augustus to our own, the most cele-
brated statesmen and men of letters
have borne witness, in prose and verse,
to that witchery which Ugo Foscolo
declared distracted him from his work

Progress in Electrical Science.

Perhaps we have arrived at that
stage in our study of electricity where
our instruments are too coarse to en-
able us to extend our investigations.
Yet how delicate and efficient they are!
Compare the instruments employed by
Franklin, and even by sFaraday, with
those which are in constant use to-day
in our physical laboratories. Frank
lin, by the utmost effort of his magma
ton, could not conceive. probably, of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that can detect
the electrical action of drop OF dis
titled water on two so-called chemically
pure platinum plates, or of a machine
that can develop from the feeble mag
netism of the earth current suffi-
GENTLY strong to light the city of Phila-
de1phia. Let him who wanders among
the historical physical instruments of
many of our college, collections stand
before the immense FRACTIONAL electrical
machine of Franklin's day, or gaze
upon the rude electrorleters and
galvanometers of that time, and con-
trast Franklin 5 machine with the small
Toepler-Holtz electrical mac hine which
with tenth of the size gives spark
tSh eiiuOS as otiohS do ~ ohhhu ., VI
the electrometerS and galvanometers of
Faraday with the mirror galvanometers
and electrometers of Sir William
Thompson. Yet, at the same time, let
such an observer think of the possibili-
ties of the next fifty years. for the adj
vance of science is not in simple pro-
portion to the time, and the next fifty
years will probably see far greater
advance than the one hundred years
since the date of Franklin's electrical
work has seen. Is not the state of our
Imagination like that of the shepherd
boy who lies upon his back, looking up
at the stars Of heaven, and trying to
imagine what is beyond the stars? The
only conclusion is that there is some
thing far more than we have ever be-
held.-P,of. John TroUbrtdge, TN Popat-
lar Science lKonthly.

Three or four decades ago the Amer
lean men and women were generally
lean and bony. Our women especially
were lank and thin. OF late years.
however, change in the shape of our
people has been noted. The change is
not yet very marked in the men, but
the women are growing round and fat.
At our watering-places, where people
from all parts of the country congre-
gate, bony woman is rare sight.
Most of the women are plump and we'll
rounded. 1t is to be observed, how
ever, that sickness and curved out
lines belong to the well-to-do and leis-
urely classes of society. Among hard
workers and the people on the from
tiers the lean and bony type still pre-
dominates AtIantd Constitution.
