The Human Hair.
From the Philadelphia Press.

= o'S
When the hair is pulled from the hu-
man head it may be observed that the
end which was implanted in the scalp
is larger than the hair itself. This is
the bulb or root from which the hair
grows. A hair is, in fact, a delicate
tnbe, round in straight. haired persons
and 1attened in the curly-haired. 1t
is the t1atness of the hair which makes
it curl. Women have coarser hair than
men. The average number of hairs on
the head is about 100000. This calcu-
lation is based upon the ascertained
fact that a square inch Of the head of
a person who has an average head OF
hair contains by actual count 1000
hairs approximately. In early days the
Kings of France used to pluck a single
hair from the head and bestow it upon
one of their attendants as a token OF
favor. The hair grows from eight tc
ten inches a year. 1t has been found
that it grows faster in the day time than
at night, and faster in summer than in
winter. Light and sun evidently have
an influence IN the growth OF the hair,
as or the vegetable products.

Our Place as Beer Drunk srs

The Internal Revenue Department
reports that the amount of beer which
paid taxes in this country last year was
5SS. 900, 600 gallons. Adding to this
the amount exported and evading the
tax brings the total up to about $780,
600, 900 gallons. This makes the United
States the third in the list of beer pro-
ducing countries in the world. The
number of breweries in this country
does not compare with that of other
countries, the breweries here doing
their work on a larger scale. And,
while they make two-thirds as much
beer as the brewers of England, their
number is one-tenth as many. England
makes more beer than any other coun-
try in the world, her 81, 200 breweries
turning out 900, 900, 900 gallons yearly,
while Germany, with 25, 900 breweries,
makes 900, DOC, 900 gallons yearly.
Next comes the United States with
about 1900 breweries, making about
GEO, DOC. 900 gallons per annum.-Bos-

Actors and Mental Work.
From the New York Graphic

Professionals who are stars find it
painful to be repeating the same char
acter year after year. There is ONE
thing about it that robs a good actor of
his vigor, and, strange as it may seem,
it not only Injuries the memory, but it
effects the mind. Mr.. Sims Reeves, the
great English tenor, once declared that
he had sung "My Pretty Jane" SO many
times that it required a great effort on
his part to get through tin fact, he
forgot the words of the song. Mr. Ed
win Booth has been playing Hamlet SO
many times that it wearies him to do it
now. Joe Jefferson has so long repeat
ell the lines in Rip Van W1nkle that his
memory gets confused when playing it.
MIR. Couldock has so long acted in
Hazel Kirk that he. confesses his mind
is sometimes sorely troubled to prevent
himself from wandering from one scene
to another. Dozens of cases of this
kind could be mentioned. Memory
tthat warder af the BRAIN" like any
other sensitive faculty, requires bright
ening up occasionally, and to supply it
with q fresh material is as beneficial as
a stream of water upon o faded flower.
The constant repetition of Virginius,
the Gladiator, and one o. two other
roles extending over a period of years,
with the same routine of stage business
which each piece requires night after
night, is to-day one of the causes, if not
the actual cause, of Mr.. John McCul-
lough's mental weakness. This may
appear strange to those who do net live
by mental labor" yet if any man will
commit to memorya poem, and keep
repeating it daily for years, or even
months, he will experience a nervous,
irritable feeling, and must exert his
memory to prevent his jumbling of the
words, and in time there ome almost
q total want of the recollection rs to the
order in which the lines should be spok-

Anecdote of Judge Folger.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
The late Secretary Folger was a very
just man. His greatest fear was that
through some oversight an unintention-
al act of injustice should be done some
one. AS he had but little confidence in
his subordinates UP to the time Assis-
tant Secretary Coon was appointed, he
assumed the burden of the immense
mass of detail Of the department upon
his own shoulders. One day, not long
before he took his final leave of the
treasury building, of his intimate
personal friends walked into his private
office. There sat the secretary behind
an immense mass of official papers.
"You see, he remarked pleasantly to
the caller. Il am very busy man. ]
find that in order to have many things
go to suit me, I have to attend to them
myself" His visitor smilingly replied,
"Yes, Mr. Secretary. | hear that there
is but one thing in the entire depart,
ment that you haven't done since you
came here" @What is that" inquired
Mr.. Folger anxiously. "You don't run
the elevators" st which there was q
hearty laugh on both sides.

FEET AT aNY PRICE.
APopu1ar Craze Creating a Desire for the
Amputation of Big Toes.

A Popular Craze Creating q Desire for the
Amputatton of Big Toes.
Prot. VIM. E. Pancoast of the JEFF
erson Medical College, has been talking
to q Press reporter about the craze for
small feet especially among the male
sex. Within q month he has had call
from three Quaker City dudes and one
woman, all making the singular request
to have their big toes amputated. i'll or
der that they might get their feet into
the smallest possible boots. Other
prominent surgeons have had the same
experience, and the insane desire to Sc
cure the beautiful by mutilation appears
to be epidemic.
I can't account for this remarkable
desire for being mutilated for the sake
of appearance, said DR.. Pancoast, "but
1 can say that it has, like all fashionable
crazes, sprung up in a very short time.
1t must be due to the. pointed shoe.
You see, the cutting off of a big toe
would not materially shorten q foot,
but 1t would mGka the end Oft narrow
Ell, 80 that the patient would be abba to
wear q shoe us pointed as a dagger.
This seems to be the modern concep-
ton of pedal beauty. By-and-by the
pointed shoes will go out and then these
people who are having their big toes
sliced off will be sorry"
"Would the slicing off of lis big toe
hurt a dude? asked a reporter.
Not materially" answered the ply
stefan. "In fact, people whose toes
have had to lie amputated through dis.
ease seem to get along all right,
have hal lots of patients whose toes
have been removed, and they have nj
ways been consoled when told of tho
dainty little boots they will be able tt
wear And | really don't think they
miss the toes. 1t is a curious fact tina
most of the applicants are men. Pop
ulmr prejudice wonld at once conclud.
that one but a could be Sc
vain. One of my visitants was a farm
er, though what Oh earth he wanted
with small feet l can't imagine.
cit is a common thing for surgeon,
to have patients who want meetin!
eyebrows eradicated," Prof. Pan
coast continued. "In these we re
move the hair by the roots and thel
apply electricity, which gives tn
person a sharp, singing pain. Afte'
this treatment the undesirable brow
never return. Ladies who are so III
fortunate as to have moustaches az
treated in the same way, but it is s.
painful that they can only huve half
moustache removed in a day. They g
away looking very funny. 1t is gettin,
quite common TO do away with defect
in the ear or nose. All these items ar
parts of a physicians regular routine
that is, all excepting the big-toe treat
ment, which I would never perform TO
any one. | call it flying in the face q
nature. The big toe is not a superfiul
ty; in fact, it has a very decided use
and the profession should discounte
nance any attempts to abolish it."

France il Not Prosperous.
Allowing for the million and a h,

Allowing for the million and a half
taken away by Germany, the popula-
ton has made no progress at all since
1860. Its numbers are smaller now
than they were fifteen years ago, while
the load of taxation has almost doubled
in mere charges it has much more
than doubled. Equally stationary has
been the export trade. The average OF
recent years has indeed been lower than
for the years Immediately succeeding
the war. Imports have. OF the other
hand, augmented much. but not because
the country has been internally pros
porous. The increase is the conse-
quencc of bad harvests, and indicates q
further denudation of the wealth Of the
people.
