Things IN General.
The only portion of this province
where women sell their hair is in the
Canadian province of Quebec. There
the rural population is mostly made up
of French inhabitants, and the customs
of old France are strictly observed by
those people. The hair dealer still
plies his trade there. American women
will not sell this element Of female
beauty. They must be reduced to alb
iect poverty before they will barter
inheritance of nature.
An old theater goer CLAIMS to be able
to determine the relation existing bey
tween couples by noting the facial ex-
preston as the play progresses. Now
and then a cruel mother-in-law joke is
introduced, at which the young man
laughs, while the lady seems hurt and
annoyed. This is a sign the couple are
engaged and the maiden has vague
fears taat the two people she loves best
in the world will not get on weilto-
gether.
1t is often said that ours is a govern
ment by lawyers, but Prof. Brewer, Of
Yale college, calls attention to the fact
that fifteen of our twenty zone presidents
were farmers or the sons Of farmers,
and he thinks it not "too much to say
that up to the present time the men edu-
Gated in childhood or youth on farms
have had the leading part in making
this nation what it's"
DIR. Willard Parker, known to his
friends as the beloved physician" and
who the Christian Union says, never for
got his religious faith, regarded all dis
ease as a consequence of sin, and never
failed to inculcate the truth that obedi-
ence to Gods law is health and life, and
that patients cannot habitually disre-
gard these rules aud then hope through
medical advice and prescription to es-
cape the bitter fruits of their own wrong
doings.
Cattle-raising in Montana the past
two years has paid from % to 40 per
cent. Previous to that time it was hard
ly worth following. The country was
so far away from market that it would
wear a bullock out to walk to the slaugh-
ter. But with the approach Of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad q new order Of
things came a steer that was worth $50
became worth $50 and $50.
In the tunnel of the Daniel Webster
Mine, beyond the Wells Fargo Mine, at
a point over 800 feet beneath the sur
face, q flow of water of strange charac-
ter has been encountered. The water
boils up through the floor Of the tun-
mel, and In the light Of the cundle pres
ents a blood-red appearance. 1t smells
like creosote and has q pungent, dis
agreeable taste. When bottled and
brought out to the light of day the
water has q rich, burned sienna color.
After standing for a time a grayish
powder is thrown down, but the color
of the water remains the same. A bottle
of the water kept In the sun for several
days shows no alteration in color and
presents the clear, bright appearance Of
some tincture.A
Heather Island, Fla, has recently
been sold for 100000 to a syndicate Of
capitalists, prominent among whom are
Ex-Governor Horace Fairbanks of Yer
mont, Francis b. Knowles of Worces-
ter, Mass, and Charles III. Morse, q
large Chicago capitalist. This syndi-
cate has formed a company with $780,
600 capital. and proposes making q
mammoth orange grove on this fertile
island. The island contains about A.
600 acres of very rich land and 100
acres Of bearing grove.
The combination Of druggists formed
to regulate prices is said to consist of
thirteen Of the largest manufacturing
firms, representing sixty preparations
of popular remedies. The combination
is represented to control between 700
and 800 wholesale. establishments and
about 10000 retail drug stores. The
organization presents a formidable
array, but there IS an interested class
that is not easily controlled. and that
consists of consumers; hence q too de-
cided stand on the subject of high prices
may not prove practicable in q business
sense. Few medicines are as yet looked |
upon as common necessarias of life.
