ARE HAIR PINS INJURIOUS,

The largest percentage Of neuralgia
headache seems 10 be among ladies, and
must certainly have cause Some have
attributed it to the hair being tightly
drawn over the head and held in place
by hair pins; in this way the nerves of
the scalp are irri.ated and neuralgia
caused. Relief is sometislcs experienced
by removing the hair pins, but il is only
temporary.

THE PERMANENT EXPOSITION BUILDING.

Main and Bank streets is SAL feet q rare.
The first balcony of this tower is lG1 feet
from the ground and large enough to ac-
commodate 400 people Tn upper balcony
is about 200 feet from the ground.
The tower extends still above this,
and the mast which surmounts it
will have at its summit an electric
light which will he about go feet above the
level of Main street. May it be a symbol of
the exposit on itself, seen from afar and
shedding its light all round in every direc-
tion. Within this building there are three
floors, and there will be more than ~ acres
Of floor space for the accommodation of ex-
hibits; and here will be gathered together
and exhibited for the delight and amuse-
ment and education Of the people, in the

A Nova-Scotian Bear.

The farmers of Chester. Nova Scotia,
are greatly troubled by the ravages of
bears in their sheep-folds. One night
recently the breaking of boards and the
bleating of sheep reused countryman
from his sound sleep, and realizing full
we'll that his flock of sheep were in dam
ger he jumped from his bed and rushed
in a slate of semi-nudity to his barn.
and Selling a three-tined fork made for
the bear which was in the middle of the
flock, tearing and killing. But rs the
man entered the door of the fold the
bear leaped through the opening he had
made, about five feet high in the end of
the building, and fled. pursued by the
owner of the sheep. The pursuit, how
ever, was vain. The work of the bear
showed his strength and determination
10 be wonderful. About five feet of the
base of the building was incIosed with
plank. Above that inch boards were
used. The bear had scratched and torn
and bitten those pianks IN Il terrible
manner. Not succeeding in tearing of
the two-nch plank. the SAVAGE brute
had stood upon his hind feet and bitten
and torn OIL the inch boards above his
head and then leaped through the aper-
ture and down upon the helpless flock.
The sight of a ghosl-llkc creature with
a pitchfork was too much for him. how
ever.

TEE supervisors of Westminster County,
New York, have adopted resolution to have
a building erected that can be flooded With
water to the depth of six feet, and in which
tramps who invade Westchester's sacred pre-
cincts are to bo confined and where they
will have to swim, bail or drown, "a it would
be mighty long tramp who could wade in
six feet OF water and keep his nose above
the surface. We can hardly believe that the
authors &C the resolution seriously entertain
the idea of putting such a scheme into effect.
10 is barbarous plan and unworthy of the
civilization of the 18th century. 1t is ali
right that Migrants should be made to work
for their board and lodging but put them
to breaking stone, saving wood or some
other useful occupation and, if they won't
work, don't let them eat.
