New Hebrides Hair Dressing.

The inhabitants of Tanna have more
of the negro cast of countenance than
Papuan tribes usually have, but there
are good-looking men and women among
them. They paint their faces with red
earth, which they get from the neigh
boring islands Of Aneiteum and Erro-
mango. They frizzle their hair, and the
men especially carry hair dressing into
fine art. DR.. Turner says he counted
no fewer than 700 separate curls on the
head Of one young exquisite! A similar
practice prevails on the other islands of
Aneiteum, Nina and Futuna, and DIR.
Livingstone has noted a somewhat sim
liar practice of twisting the hair into in
Vulnerable small spiral curls among the
Banyai of central Africa. The people of
Tanna are fond Of ornaments, but not
Of very much clothing. They do not
tattoo, but they wear fearful and won
derful tortoise-shell arrangements in
their ears.-All the Year Round.

Brain Action In Children.

In The Archives de Pediatrics DR..
Warner remarks that in every attempt
TO control brain action in children, or to
aid its action, two factors are needed
nutrition, and forces acting upon the
brain directing that nutrition; less CO.
ordinated, steady uniform kind of action
may be desired-that is, the child may
be healthy, but stupid, fat and very
slow, strong. but inert-in which case
town-life and more stimulating food
may be needed. As to articles of diet,
DIR. Warner says that meat, broth and
beef tea appear to produce stimulating
effect upon the nerve-system of children,
increasing the quantity and brain-stim-
ulating quality of the blood; it may be
specially useful in some cases Of dull
Drained children. But farinaceous foods,
in contrast to meat, offer the choice Of
dietary of great importance, being less
stimulating, more quieting, less suitable
to excite brain evolution, more adapted
for cases of nervous excitability, espec-
tally il combined with fats-in such cases
hydrocarbonaceous rather than nitro
geneous diets being needed. DIR. War
ner further states that arsenic, admins
tered to children with their food, has
often appeared to him to be great aid
to nerve growth. Chicago Tribune.

How to Become Courageous.

Demand imperiously and persistently
any quality of character in which you
may be lacking, and you attract increase
of such quality. Demand more patience
or decision or judgment or courage or
hopefulness or exactness, and you will
increase in such qualities. These quail
ties are real elements. They belong to
the subtler and as yet unrecognized
chemistry of nature.
The man discouraged, hopeless and
whining has unconsciously demanded
Encouragement and hopelessness. So
he gets it. This is his unconscious men,
tai training to evil. Mind is mag
netic," because it attracts to itself what
ever thought it fixes itself upon, or
whatever it opens itself to. Allow your
self to fear, and you open the door and
invite fear in; you then demand fear.
Set your mind on the thought Of cour-
age, see yourself in mind or Imagination
as courageous, and you become more
courageous. You demand courage

Lead Poison in Canned Goods.

Canned fruits and meats are usually
sealed with ordinary solder. Persons
who habitually consume large quanti-
ties Of such goods are in danger of lead
poisoning. The glazing lining earthen-
ware, especially that of the cheaper
sort, and enameled kettles contain
lead, as a rule, and the juices of fruits
prepared or stored in such utensils are
capable of dissolving appreciable guam
titles of the lead out of such glazes The
tin-foil in which many articles of food
are wrapped, and in which chewing to-
bacco. cigars, ETC., are preserved from
becoming too dry, generally contain this
metal in large proportion. The Chinese
tea-chests are lined with sheet lead hard
ened with tin. 1t is easily seen how nu-
merous are the sources of unsuspected
poisoning by this material. Many of the
powders and hair-dyes on the market
are composed, to large extent, of prep
arations of this metal. Cor. Globe Dem

Story Of a French Bi.hop.

Mrs. Fremont, in her sketch of the life
Of her father-Senator Benton-tells the
following Of the French bishop at St.
Louis at the time Of the purchase OF
Louisiana. It was a point Of honor
among the older French not TO learn
English; but the bishop needed to ac-
quire fluent English for all uses, and for
uae from the pulpit especially. To force
himself into familiar practice, the bishop
secluded himself for awhile with the
family Of an American farmer, where
he would hear no French. Soon he had
gained enough to announce a sermon in
English. Senator Benton was present
and his feelings can be imagined when
the polished, refined bishop said: MY
friends, l am right-down glad to see
such a smart chance Of folks here to-
day. The Argonaut.

New Use for Electricity.

Electricity has been put to new use
in France. Gen. Boulanger has recently
ordered the trial of method of induc-
ing vicious and restless horses to stand
quietly while being shod. The method
is due to the knowledge and ingenuity
of NJ. lie Capitaine Place, and is said to
have proved eminently successful. The
arrangement merely consists Of an in
duction coil, dry battery and an ar
rangement for giving "a shock Of grad
uated intensity" to the animal under
treatment. The most vicious horses
which could be found in the cavalry
school at Saumur subsidized into quiet
ness upon application Of this device

Living ON the SEQ


The kind Of food used at sea at the
present day is much improved or what
Il was formerly. Not so much reliance
is placed on salt provisions. Canned
meats and vegetables are more largely
used. The quantity is abundant. and
the cooking. while perhaps not always
calculated to agree with seasick per-
son, is usually quite good, except the
bread. which, for some reason or other,
is rarely good at sea. The coffee is not
improved by being carried the long dis
tance from the galley to the after-house.
Still, there are some things that are
always excellent. II you want to know
what really good pea or bean soup is,
you will have to 60 to sea for it. Though
seafaring men, as rule, are pretty
large eaters, but little time is spent at
the table. About fifteen minutes for
each meal would be about the average.
The captain, mate, and the captains
wife and family, IL they are on board,
and the passengers il any, eat at the
first table, and are waited on by the
steward and cabin boy. The second
mate and carpenter, and on most ships
the third mate and boatswain, eat at the
second. The sailors take their food
from the galley into the forecastle and
eat it there. The water on these long
voyages is usually allowanced-a nee
essary precaution-the quantity being
about a gallon day per man, although
this is not alwayss strictly adhered to, for
washing purposes, and also for cooking
and drinking. II the water in the tanks
should run short, they depend almost
entirely upon rainwater, which at times,
especially on the equator, is caught in
immense quantities, the tops OF all the
deck-houses bcing arranged with lodges
and spouts to run the water into casks.
The rainfalls are at times something
wonderful, and when they occur in a
calm and the vessel is standing up
straight the quantity of water that can
be collected is very large.-Cor. Balti-

In a letter published in The London
Times on the subject Of foreign orders
and decorations, "Medioo" asks why the
royal family ID perpetually breaking the
law in this matter. Nothing can be
more strict than the application Of the
prohibition to distinguished servants of
the British crown, who have honorably
earned this slight acknowledgment on
the part of foreign potentates. And yet
the prince Of Wales, who has never
heard gun fred in warfare, who has
never saved life, who has never done
one single thing to qualify himself In
any way for the distinction thrust upon
him, is permitted TO cover his manly
bosom with eagles and lions and lambs,
with crosses and stars, until an un-
knowing spectator would take him
either for Marshal Moltke or the ring
master at the Cirque d'Ete.

The GubernatOrial NOminatiOn.

Some days ago a telegram from Bangor
was published in the Lewiston Journal
stating that the name of Hon. f. G. Bur-
leigh, State Treasurer, had been suggest
ed by republicans in Eastern Maine, as a
possible candidate tor Governor, and that
he might be the clark horse OF the
republican State convention. The next
day Mr.. Burlcigh promptly sent the fol-
lowing letter to the Journal. which was
published in its Saturday issue:
AUGUSTA, April 3d. 1886.
To the Edtors Of the Lemistoa Journm:
am not and shall not be possible candl
date for Governor at the approaching republican
vention to holden In your city. hasten to IN IKE
this statement that false impression may Oh
tain In any quarter from the telegram which ap-
peared in your columns last evening.
Very sincerely yours,
+ G. BURLEIGH.
There are very few gentlemen in Maine,
if any, who have a wider personal
acquaintance among men of all parties and
in every section of the State than Mr..
Burleigh. Had his name been brought
forward early in the canvass as a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for Governor, he would have been
a formidable competitor for that
honor. The ability. character, and faith.
fulness he has displayed in the many pub
lie positions which he has been called up
on to fill. and his advancement to the
most responsible. if not the most honora-
BILE station in the State, is ample proof OF
his capablity to fill the highest position
and Of his popularity among the people.
Mr.. Bureigh, in common with large
number of republicans in the State. early
expressed a preference for Hon. j. r
Bodwell as a candidate for Governor a
the ensuing election. and has not changed
his opinion. We are authorized TO state
that he fully believes in the wisdom OF
nominating Mr.. Boutwell, at the State Con-
vention at Lewiston June 9th, and that hi.
election will be for the best interest of the
people Of the State.
