Gray Hairs and Health.

The correlation Of gray hair, as we'll
as it's causes, deserves more attention
and study than they have received.
Such a change is undoubtedly indica
tive Of some deep seated psychological
process, but what this is we can only
ascertain by much wider series of
observations than have yet been sub
mitted to scientific analysis. Many
persons begin to show gray hairs
while they are yet in their twenties,
and some while in their teens. This
does not by any means argue a
premature decay of the constitution.
1t is a purely local phenomenon, and
may coexist with unusual bodily
vigor. The celebrated author and
traveller, George Borrow, turned quite
gray before he was 80, but was an ex-
traordinary swimmer and athlete at
65. The spot where grayness begins
differs with the individual. The phil
osopher, Schopenhauer, began to turn
gray on the temples and complacently
framed theory that this is an indi-
cation of vigorous mental activity.
Race has a marked influence. The
traveller, DIR. Orbigny, says that in
the many years he spent in South
America he never saw a bald Indian,
and scarcely ever a gray-haired one.
The negroes turn more slowl y than the
whites.

Terrible Persian Punishments.
From the St. James Gazette.

From the St. James Gazette
The exceptional punishments in
Persia are blowing from guns or NOR
tars, crucifxion, walling up or burying
alive, burning alive, and in the few
capital punishments Of women who
are usually strangled, or wrapped up
in carpet and jumped upon, flung
from a precipice or down a well.( Ali
these punishments have been inflicted
within the writer's knowledge. One
poor fellow twice experienced the bit
terness of death. He was led out to
be blown from a gun. A fellow culp rit
had just been executed in this way be-
fore his eyes. The executioners pre-
pared to lash him to the muzzle of the
gun; but as he was little man they
had to get some bricks for him to
stand on. When all was ready the
printing was fired, but in the hurry the
artillerymen had forgot to load the
gun. Though urgent representations
we're made to the governor, he refused
to spare the man; and the poor fellow
was unbound, the gun was loaded, and
the culprit blown away. The first
part of this tragedy myself witnessed.
Crucifxion in Persia is done against a
wall; the sufferers occasionally live
many hours. The crime of one man
so executed was that of having stolen
the golden necklet of the prince COVER
nor's horse; this was looked on as a
sort Of high treason. Some highway
robbers who, among many other
achievements, had looted and carried
off the writer of this article (he fortu-
nately escaped from them and MUIR
dered Syud or holy man, were walled
up alive near the scene of their crimes
in hollow brick pillars. Eleven other
highway robbers in one batch were
thus buried alive in Shiraz in 1879;
while a priest was burned to death in
the public aquare of Shiraz, just before
my arrival in Persia (he was an ex-
ceptionally atrocious criminal

that he was not the only dear, good
papa willing to employ this unique
method of securing the continuation
OF his official salary. GAS soon as the
information went abroad that the
commissioner heart had been touched
by this chiId's request, little letters
from 12-year-old girls began pouring
IN from all parts OF the country, each
appealing for the retention in office of
some dear, good papa, and SO closely
did these letters follow the model of
the first one, which had been published,
that the commissioner saw through
the trick at once.''
