How They Wear Their Hair Before and
After Marriage.
If there is any feature which points to
the common origin of the Chin, Sc, the
Koreans, or the Japanese, and our own
North American Indians, it is not the
one usually pointed out-their high
cheek-bones-s, much as their long,
straight, black hair. The Japanese
have their hair cut short-not so short
as we Americans, perhaps, but still they
do not wear the cue. The Chinese, as
is we'll known, shave all the head except
the cue-lock, and wear that as long as
it will grow in braid down the back,
(By the way, has any one pointed out
the fact that the North American In
dams shave all but the scalp-Iock, and
that this may point to connection in
origin between them and the CelestialsP) }
The Korean neither cuts nor shaves of
his hair, but wears all his heavy, black,
straight locks in braid down his back
until he is engaged to be married. and
then it is dressed into knot which
looks like little horn on the top of the
head, while around the head hair cap
with no crown is pressed down over the
forehead. This last is a painful affair at
first, and when it is removed for the
purpose of dressing the hair it leaves a
permanent crease an eighth of an inch
in depth. The pain at first must be ex-
treme, but they say that all feeling OF
inconvenience is soon lost.-(or. ~ y.

A. T. Stewards Mascot.

Ihear a queer story Of the supersti-
tion of A. T. Stewart. From the be-
ginning of hi career as New York
merchant until shortly before his death
he imagined that his fortune was bound
up in that of the little old apple woman
who had a stand in front of his store.
When his chief store was down by the
City Hall this little old apple woman
was encouraged and protected by him.
and when he moved further up Broad
way to the big white building now
occupied by Denning, it is said that he
personally superintended the carrying
Of the little apple woman's effects to
new stand outside of it. Here she stayed
during all of its prosperity in these
new quarters, but shortly before his
death she disappeared. Stewart looked
upon her as q mascot, and he often
said, 80 the story goes. that when she
died or left the place that his good luck
would go with her. Strange to say it
was even SO. A few months after this
Stewart began to decline. and tho apple
woman was hardly forgotten before he
was in his grave.-Cdrp, IN Cleveland

DOMESTIC CATTLE.


valuable Scientific Facts Relating to the
Origin Of the British Breeds.
Prof. Boyd Dawkins, as the result of
his Investigations as to the origin of
British breeds of cattle, believes the two
principal stocks from which all the
breeds are descended are undoubtedly
(l) the Urus, an animal wild in the
forests of Europe later than the days of
Charles the Great, and which is be-
lieved to have been extinct in the Brit
ish Isles; (2) the Bos longifrons, or
'.small Celtic Short-Horn," an animal
which never was aborignally wild in
Europe. Both were probably domesti-
Gated in Asia, and both made their APP
pearance together in the Neolthic age,
in the possession of those who lived on
the wooden plat orms and artificial
islands in the Swiss lakes. The remains
of the latter are. he says, to be found
all over Europe in refuse heaps belong
ing to various periods, from the Neo-
1.-the age down to within the historical
period. 1t is the only domestic OK
which he has met with in the large
number of refuse heaps in the British
Isles, ranging from the ncolthic age
down to the time of the Engl sh invasion,
and is represented by the present High
land cattle, small Welsh and small Irish
cattle.
The first. or the Urus stock, preserved
to Great Britain almost in its aboriginal
purity in the so-called wild cattle of
Chillingham, he has been unable to
trace further back than the invasion of
Britain by The English and of Ireland
by the Scandinavians. As the evidence
stands, it was unknown in these islands
as domesticated animal before this
time.
The present breeds are, in the opinion
of Prof. Hawkins. descended fir IN the
two stocks, and are the result of cross
ing and selection. The polled cattle
are considered to be the result of selec-
t on in which advantage has been taken
of tendency to revert to an ancestral
hornless type, probably as far back as the
Miocene age. He would expect to meet
with them from time to time in every
breed, just as from me to time horse
is born with three toes, which have been
derived from his remote Mocene an
cestor, the Anchiterium. On this point
it is interesting to note the polled skull
of Bos etruscus in the Florence
museum, belonging to fossil species,
unusually horned, living along with ex.
tinct elephants and rhinoceroscs and
other animals in the pla ms of Lom-
hardy, in the Nal d Arno. Lord Sell
kirk's letter to Prof. Dawkins shows
how the horns were bred out of the
Galloways, and his version is confirmed
by the Independent evidence collected hy
Youatt. The Galloways, however, he
says, were not the only polled cattle in
Britain, although they were the ances-
tors of those of the Norfolk and Suf.
folk breeds. The Gisburne cattle, now
extinct, but of which there is speci
men in the museum at Owen, College,
were polled, being in other respects
identical with the Chillingham. 1t is,
however, smaller. The Gisburne polleG
cattle became extinct in 1859, and the
skull of the last bull is in the museum
as stated.-ChicGgo Tribune.
