CURIOSITIEs OF THE HUMAN HAIR

CURIOSITIES OF THE HUMAN HAIR.
A lady in the city near which I reside
has lock Of hair which is said to have
belonged to the unfortunate Marie An.
toinette. This French Queens head of
hair was q rich and dark auburn in the
morning, and gray by night. One hard
ly wonders that tho suferings and terror
of that dark day turned the poor Queens
hair. There are other cases on record
in which hair was grayed in single day
or night. The color of hair depends on
fluid at the lower end of the thread ;
If this be destroyed, the hair, which is a
hollow tube, receives, Of course, no
coloring-matter.
There is one case on record in which
a mans hair changed three times. One
lady is still living, who, at the age OF
seventy, has snit of hair without a
gray strand in it. A gentleman aged
ia had the color of his hair naturally
restored short time before his death.
Another, at his 10th year, had q full
suit of hair return to his head. Another
named Nazarelio, of Vienna, in 1774
had a full suit of hair and a complete
set of second teeth. Workersin cobalt

MEDICAL LANGUAGE.

One of the most barbarous uses to
which our language is put is the preva-
lent medical style of expression. Every
science and art has its technical terms,
which are help to exact thought and
expression. In medical literature they
have become an obstacle to the masters
OF science, while the ordinary man could
as easily master new language as read
an average medical essay. They seem
to have been prepared BY ambitious med
ical Sophomores whom a little learning
has lifted above their mother tongue, so
that they can only express themselves
in sounding words of Latin origin.
We are glad to welcome rebuke of
this grave fault in the Lancet, by G.
Vivian Poore, NJ. D., F. R. @. P, pro-
lessor of medical jurisprudence in the
University College, london. Referring
to dictionary of medical and scientific
terms now in course of publication, he
says that. if its present proportions are
maintained, it will contain over 5000
terms and that, at the present rate of
matchmaking, an appendix will be nee
essary by the beginning OF the next
century possibly bigger than the parent
book.
This fatal love of long words, he of
firms, has helped to check the advance
of medical science. In this "pedantic
iargon, mouth becomes the oral ori6ce;
the nose, the olfactory organ; the skin
Of the back, the dorsal integument !;
touch, tactile sensibility; stomach
ache, gastralgic crisis; tears, lachry-
nation sweating, diaphoresis.
1t seems to be the pitiable ambition
OF some writer's to seize upon triaing
fact and give it the longest name they
can invent, with the aid of diction-
airy.
Many of our long Words" he says,
"exercise most unwholesome fasci-
nation aupon the student, and I have
known some who appear to think that a
parrot-like use of words was the main
use of medicine.
There was a time, perhaps, when
there was very little true knowledge
behind the verbiage which was the chief
stock-in-trade of the profession. Now
times are changed. 1t is no longer neces-
sary to give back to ihe patient in Greek
what he had just told us in English and
call it diagnosis. ~ Youths Com

PROTECTION OF SNOv

The wonderful snow.shels-tunnels. -
on the Central Pacific railroad are OF
two kinds, one with very steep roofs and
the other with fat roofs. They cost per
mile from $4,000 to $4,000, and in
some places where heavy masonry was
needed the cost reached $50, 900 mile.
They are firmly constructed to support
the great weight Of snow and resist the
rush of avalanches. Fire precautions
are very thorough. Corrugated plates
of iron separate the building into SEQ
tions, and in the great ten-mile section
there are automatic fire alarms. At the
summit is an engine and tank always
ready to food the ignited spot in mo.
msnt. These sheds shut in the view Of
the great Sierras, but without them
travel would be impossible. Sometimes
five feet of snow falls upon them in Q
day, and often thirty feet lie on the
ground at one time, and in many places
snow accumulates to the depth of fifty
feet above these great wooden arches.

Everybody, says the Western Rural,
has heard of Boston's brown bread and
baked beans, and many Of our readers
know what they are from pleasant e.f
perience. Boston, and in fact New En-
gland, are about as well known for their
baked beans as they are for then
"culchaw In Boston it is the uni
versal habit to have baked beans for
Sunday morning breakfast. The lowest
and highest gather about the baked
beans of Sunday morning, and feast
upon about the cheapest article OF diet
there is in the market. During the
week the tables of the rich groan be-
meath the costliest of dishes, and tho
tables of the poor are scantily spread
with the cheapest that the markets
afford. But ON Sunday they all eat OF
the same dish, and thousands of them
from the same oven. 1t is q matter OF
curiosity to see the bean-pot going to
the bakery on Saturday night. The
servants, where servants are employed,
and the good housewife whose husband
cannot afford the luxury of servant
girl, prepare the pot on Saturday. The
beans are parboiled until the skin
cracks; they are then placed in the
celebrated Boston bean-pot, which is
earthen and much smaller at the top
than at the bottom. Salt is added to
suit the taste, and sometimes spoonful
of molasses. A piece of salt pork, about
as large as the first three fingers, is
sliced through the rind at the distance
OF an eighth of an inch, and placed upon
the top of the beans, or rather imbedded
in them until the surface is even THEN
the pot Is taken to the bakery, check
received, and, upon presentation of the
check in the morning, the Sunday break
fast is returned ready for the table. The
streets are full Of bean pots and their
bearers. They go to the cottage, ID
Beacon hill, and to North street. The
bean is the great leveler in Boston soci-
ETY.. On the farms Of New England the
plan of baking is to make rousing fire
in an old fireplace, and when the wood
has been consumed, the pot of beans is
buried in the Goals and ashes, where j,
remains Until Sunday morning - and

IT is worthy of notice that very few
men distinguish themselves as editors
who do not first of all serve patient
apprenticeship either as subordinate
writer's or as the conductors Of unim-
portant publications. Experience shows
that there is a good deal more to
be mastered than the art OF writing
well. 1t is in this sense that journalism
is called Q profession.

A SEVERE TEST.
a Story Of the Melbourne Police.

Some years sgo-a good many more,
in fact, than IRE to recall now-I was
wandering very disconsolately through
one OF the main thoroughfares Of Mel
bourne, debating with myself the adyisa-
bility of walking down to the quay and
offering my services as steward to the
Captain of the first homeward- bound ves-
sci on which 1 might see the "blue-
peter" hoisted. Things had gone very
badly with me; every enterprise to
which had turned my attention had
either fallen through or resulted dis
astrously to myself; and, after vainly
trying my luck in the colony for over
three years, 1 came to the conclusion
that the sooner reconciled myself to
the utter failure of my attempts the bet
ter it would be both for my peace Of
mind and my constitution.
In this dismal mood I was istIessly
reading over the shipping announce
ments posted ON an adjacent wall, when I
came across notice from the Police De-
partment, intimating, in tersely official
language, that few new hands were
noeded-hands who were strong, vigor-
Gus, healthy, shrewd, good horsemen,
and rejoicing in the possession of such
other natural advantages as would inev-
itably insure their success in any line
they chose to adopt. I was good
horsemar, healthy, and tolerably
strong; my shrewdness I had begun to
doubt lately and, as for the rest of the
desiderata-well, 1 suppose I was as
well off as most people.
Here, possibly, was chance for me
ct any rate, it was only few days delay
if nothing came of it; would make my
application and chance it. returned tx
my diggings, wrote an official applica
ton as per directions, and, to make I
long story short, received, two days lat

station on the following day. Here
after rather stiff examination, physica

BLACKSMITHING IN GERM my

hLNu IN ULiAGM IN
In the interior towns and villages in
Germany it has been the custom for
many years for the farmer to purchase
the iron for his tires and horseshoss,
and in some instances, when having q
new wagon built, to purchase all the iron
entering into the same, the lengths of
every piece being furnished him by the
smith. One part OF the contract is that
the smith shall not return to the farmer
all ends and cuttings from the iron, and
it frequently occurs that the farmer re-
mains at the shop until the iron is all
cut up, in order that the smith shall not
indulge in too much cabbage. Each
smith shop has what is termed "the
hell" and in cutting off a set of tires, if
the farmer be not present, the largest
half of the end cut off finds its way to
"the hell, the duty of putting it there
devolving upon the youngest apprentice.
From this always-plentiful store the
smith furnishes his material for the
manufacture of bolts, horseshoes, etc.,
for transient customers. The horse
shoeing part is also feature the farm.
er will bring with him the end of some
piece of iron or tire with which to make
the shoes, or perhaps dozen Or more
old horseshoes to be converted into new
ones. The farmer must blow the bel
lows until the work is forged or the shoe
all made, and must then hold up tn,
horses foot while tho shoes are beinl
driven on or taken off, and invariabl,
carries the old shoes home with him
unless he prefers to give the old shoe
in payment for the apprentices service
in holding up the feet.

on1oRoFoRMING DURING sLEEP

OHLOROFORMING DURING SLEEP.
The possibility OF chloroforming q
person in sleep, without waki g him,
having been disputed i'll recent MUIR
der trial, DR.. ]. V. Quimby, of Jersey
city, was led to test the question exper-
mentally. DR.. Quimby made arrange
ments with a gentleman to enter his
room when he was asleep, and apply
chloroform to him. This he did with
entire success, transferring the person
from natural to artificial sleep without
arousing him. He used about three
drachms of Squibb's chloroform, and
occupied about seven minutes i'll the op.
Grafton. ..... ...
The second case was boy OF Is, .ho
had refused to take ether for a minor
operation. DR.. Quimby advised the
mother to give the boy light supper
and put him to bed. She did so, and
DR.. Quimby, calling when the boy was
asleep, administered the chloroform and
performed the operation without
awakening the boy. The third case was
q boy of 10 years, suffering from an alb
scess, and the same course was pursued
with equal success. tl
Two important differences may be
drawn from these cases, DR.. Quimby
said. Minor surgical operations may bC
done with perfect safety, and mucl
more pleasantly than in the ordinary
way A.; and, secondly, a person somewha
skilled in the use Of chloroform ma,
enter sleeping apartment and admin
lister chloroform with evil intentions
while person is asleep. Hence tin
use of this drug in the hands OF Grim
inal may become an effective instru
ment in the accomplishment Of hir lie
fareous designs.-Medical Advance.
