Is Short Hair Injurious?

A new terror of the toilet has been
sprung upon us-this time, strange to
state, not by The Lancet. The alarm is
raised on the question of the length at
which the human hair should be worn.
Some uncomfortable theorist has, it
seems, suggested that, as the hair is a con-
,luctor of electricity to the brain, it is
absolutely necessary-if general soft
ening of that organ on the part of the
rising male generation is to be avoided
for the practice of indulging in a
"close crop" to be discontinued. Forth.
with the anxious father" unbosoms
himself in the daily press, rendered
sympathetic by the advent of the dull
season, and demands to know whether
the capillary alarmist is a true prophet.
Without venturing an opinion on so
vital point, one can not but reflect that
there are many brains to which the in
fusion of some amount of motive force,
electrical or otherwise, would be any
thing but a misfortune. 1t is pity,
though, that the new theory was not
preached some five or six years ago,
during the hight of the aesthetic
craze" for it would certainly have made
many converts to the style of hair dress
ing cultivated by Mr.. Oscar Wilde be-
fore that apostle of culture sacrificed his
own locks in Difference to the "tyrant
custom. London Truth.

Why Our Physical Tres Burn Low.

All the vital functions are more OF
less processes of comb stion and they
are subject to laws similar to those
which regulate the burning of coal in
our replaces. The reason why we al
low our fires to burn low or 60 out al.
together either is that we put on too
much coal or that we allow them to be
smothered in ashes. 1t is the child who
pokes the fire from the top to break the
coal and make it burn faster; the wise
man pokes it from below, so as to rake
out the ashes and allow free access of
oxygen.
And so it is with the functions of life,
only that these being less understood
many man acts in regard to them as a
child does to the fire. The man thinks
that his brain is not acting because he
has not supplied it with sufficient food.
He takes meat three times day, and
beef tea, to supply its wants, as he
thinks, and puts in poker to stir it up
in the shape of glass of sherry or a
nip from the brandy bottle.
And yet all the time what his brain is
suffering from is not lack of fuel, but
accumulation of ash, and the more he
continues to cram himself with food and
to supply himself with stimulants, al
though they may help him for the mo-
ment, the worse he ultimately becomes
just as the child's breaking the coal may
cause q temporary blaze, but allows the
fire all the more quickly to become
smothered in ashes. 1t would seem that
vital professions are much more readily
arrested by the accumulation of waste
products within the organs of the body
than by the want of nutriment of the
organs themselves.-Dr.T T. Leander Brun-

No Genuine Granite at All.

@There is no true granite in America,

rather surprising remark of Expert de
Loss to a little gathering on change the
other day.
He WIS asked to explain himself fur
Their, and he went on thus:
"Well, Mr.. Dana, the celebrated geolo-
gist, says: True granite is composed of
quartz, feldspar and mica Now, this
s fact; then, repeat, there has never
oeen block of true granite discovered
on the American continent nor any
where else in the world that have ever
seen. All accepted granite has por
tim of hornblende in it. This is admitted
by the modern German hthologists as a
natural component part of the great paw
ing stone. The more hornblende that
appears the harder is the granite. In

Ncapolitan Canoes the Best.

The great fault of most modern canoes
is an excessive fondness for detail The
more labor that is spent upon piece,
the more valuable it becomes. Besides
this the master takes a pleasure in the
exercise of his skill; he is proud of show
ing his work through lens ard point
ing out the fineness of the single lines
and the perfection of the whole execu.
ton. This exactly suits the taste OF
many of his best customers, and so the
general purpose of a design is often hid
den under crowd of minute felicities
1t is because the Neapolitan workmen
are comparatively free from this fault
that their work ranks so highly as il
does; but even they fall into it at times,
especially in their portraits, the cheapest
of which are usually also the best.

A Story of Urban Innocence.

Here is story told to a correspond
ent of ours by poor woman, herself
country bred, who had drifted to town
and had such hard struggle for exist
ence that years slipped by before she
found day on which to take her chill
dren for walk in one of the parks.
Then the eldest little girl, lost in delight,
said: Mother what is this that is SO
soft to walk upon" For the poor little
creature had never before set foot on

SEA AND SKY.
sx&
-E

Long ago, when the world was new, U
The sapphire sky and the ocean blue
Welded one summer day;
And the skies still bend as the years 60 by,
And the ocean leaps to the bending sky,
For constant lovers are they.
But when mist arises between,
The ocean, grown with jealousy green,
His doubts to the listener tells;
He storms and frets, he RACES and roars,
In furious wrath he beats his shores,
While his turbulent bosoms wells.
The sky, though dark with o moments
frown,
Will tenderly from its hight look down
With radiant smile divine.
The green to blue with its magic skill
twill change, and the stormy ocean still,
And the sun Of love will shine.
Pause thou, my heartl and the lesson read:
When the'darkness falls and with jealous
speed
The mists of doubts arise
Fret not! twill pass, and thou wilt know
That the sun still shines with fervent
glow
In loves unchanging skies.

HOW wooden screws Arc Made.

In making wooden screws the log is
irst cut to proper lengths, split through
the center. and the pieces sawed out as
desired. These are stored for a season,
then taken and treated with steam and
dried, it being desirable to dry as far as
possible by natural heat. When dry they
are returned to the factory and worked
into the different parts which go to make
up the wooden screws. Woods pass
through planning machines, lathes, cut
ting machines, a boring machine, sand
papering, beading and grinding ma
chimes, screw tools, etc. The wastage is
30 per cent. for the logs or planks, with
subsequent loss of 10 per cent. for dimen-
ons.-Boston Budget.

GEN. w. S. RosEcRANs' OPINION.

What He Has to Say OF the American
soldier-Country Boys.
"What kind of men make the best sol
diers?"
Native born Americans whose boy
hood, at least, was either passed upon
the farm or in small country village.
"Why?"
Because they are, usually, Of good
physical quality, and they know how to
do, fairly well, almost anything. Most Of
then can do fair turn at plain cooking
or baking, they can sew tolerably well
and on a pinch can do clever act at
washing clothes; they can handle an ak,
a cross-cut saw, and the ordinary
mechanical tools quite well; they are not
apt to be visionary or hot-headed, and
when it comes &c discipline they all
seem to take to it with manly good
grace"
"Isn't that rather hard on the city
chaps9"
did you ever think over the fact that
most of the very successful men in the
cities and most of the men who have
their early training on the farm?"
"Well, l guess that's about correct"
"Of course it is. That suggests, how.
ever, another phase to this question as
to where the best soldiers come from.
The American people are pre- eminently
self-helpful and self-reliant and I can.
didly believe they make the best soldiers
in the world. The English SOL
dier is all right so long as his stomach is
full, but let his rations fall off and he
loses spirit. The German soldier is
logged and brave because he knows his
is nation of soldiers. The Russians
are desperate and immovable because of
religious devotion and ignorance that
they were calculated for any other pur-
pose than to be shot down. The French
soldiers are all right with superb elan
and frank patriotism, but physically
they are inferior. The Americans COM
bine the best qualities of all these ma
tons, with the added value of habits of
thought, self argument, natural intelli-
gence, mechanical versatility and thor
ough belief in self-help backed by ambi-
ton to excel"
"Are they hard to discipline?"
"Not at all, for the reason that they
are intelligent and can listen to argu-
ment. They are a reasoning people.
There is one other strong point in favor
of the American soldier. A majority
a very large majority-of the American
soldiers have a love for cleanliness, an
instructive desire to keep clean, and
they have good stock of knowledge as
to causes and cures of physical disorders
-homely remedies taught them by their
grandmothers on the farm, but service
able.
"Oh, well, could talk to you all night
on the good qualities of the American
soldier, but it is sufficient to say that
believe in him most thoroughly and can
think of no higher honor than to have
command of an army of American SOL
diers. detroit Free Press Interview.

Some years ago one of Mr.. .IELAND's farm

ribe itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life

dischaxging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LRLAND's direc-

RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
