warning Against Hair Dyes.

The American Analyst comes TO the front
to warn the women against the use of hair
dyes, to produce "the delicate golden shade
SO much admired by the court circles of
Europe and the high society Of the United
States" The three constituents Of the nos
trums used to produce this shade Of color are
peroxide OF hydrogen, aqua regia and bronz-
ers' acid. The first 10 the most harmless, but
1t produces sores on the scalp and gives rise
to skin complaints. The acids attack and
burn the hair as well as the skin. 'They
cause In time disease like the itch and pro-
duce Inflammation of the hair cells" This
leads to discharges of the scalp of lymph and
blood. On the whole, perhaps the women
had better turn TO some other hobby and get
on without the delicate gold shaden of hair.
Badness Is not the worst result, but Is a sure
end of the use of the ingredients named. =

Etiquette Of ArIsteeratie Paris.

In this Partisan world of fashionable form
uia the first lesson in the science Of life Is
that Of etiquette, that the dead things OF
vulgarity may be wrapped in a shroud OF
politeness, form and custom. The second
lesson Is given when the perceptions are SO
developed as to command and control tho
mystery of illusion, which is the supernal
art in this sphinx like domain OF exclusive
customs and Anticipated formulas. Tho eff
forts Of whole lifetime are devoted TO this
study, which, onss begun, never ends. Tho
next lesson is in discretion, or tact, which
brings the ambitious aspirant into univer-
sal field Of social effect and action And
thus 1t Is that the basic principles Of fash
ionable life are formed, which render the
student Of human nature capable of Crap
pling with the mostentangled forms Of ell
quette, the most mystical methods of illusion
and the most subtle devices Of diplomats. -

The French Psychologist, DR.. Dastre. has
been making curious experiments with ami
mails with the object OF determining the
causes Of seasickness. The creatures have
been subjected to various kinds Of motion
corresponding to the rolling and pitching OF
vessels. DIR. Dastrs found, on examination,
that tho intestines were thereby strangely
displaced and violently thrown against tho
diaphragm, and he presumes that a similar
disturbance produces seasickness on board OF
a ship. To counteract this irritation, DR..
Regnault is stated to have administered
cocaine with excellent results. Another
French physician, who attributes seasickness
to the samc causes as DIR. Dnstre, reports
that he has discovered two infallible preyeu-
tives--one a mixture Of atropine and strych-
nine and the other caffeine. Chicago Her.

Progress Made in Railway TravoI-ATodern

kirOgfess Made IN RAILWAY Travok-Mouern
Improvemento-The Climax.
Gen. Horace Porter, in Scribners Maya
zine, has an entertaining article on the prog
ress made in railway passenger travel. There
are some facts in it which will be interesting
to those who now and then have occasion to
use the railway
Sixty years ago the first locomotive engine
was used upon railway built for passenger
transportation. AT the beginning the loco
motive was not given the monopoly in pull
ing trains, as now. 1t divided the shonors
with the horses, the two forces being used in
changeably. The original passenger car was
a good deal, il not wholly. like the old stage
coach. But it was not long before American
progress discarded this old and inconvenient
style and adopted the long car, which Is now
the model on which all passenger cars are
constructed. The public were not at first in
clined to look with favor upon the new style
OF locomotive transportation. The legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania, especially, opposed the
idea and refused to grant any railroad char
ters for several years subsequently. The rail-
ways then were not what they are now
There were no baggagernen up 10 1876. Each
traveller at the end Of a Journey was required
TO get out his own baggage The dust nearly
suffocated one, and tho sparks from the loco
motives almost put out the eyes of the trav-
elers tN
The cars were lighted at night by tallow
candles and heated in winter by close box
stoves which transformed car into a veri-
table oven. There were no hand brakes, and
the passenger was jolted about in merciless
manner. In 1851 an improved and efficient
hand brake was adopted. In 1860 the air
brake, operated and controlled by the en-
gineer, was first introduced Since then the
progress In railway transportation has been
rapid. Improved couplers were invented and
adopted which prevented tho cars from rum
ming one on top OF the other in case of col
lision. The bell cord, connecting the en-
gineer and conductor or any passenger, was
brought into use. Improvements in the
switch, in the use of the telegraph in dis
patching trains and in other details OF rail-
road management added to the safety as
well as to the comfort of the passenger.
The next object to be gained was his luxury.
In 1888 berth cars were put upon the railway
from Harrisburg to Philadelphia This prin-
tive sleeping car was very rude indeed. Tho
steamboat companies had set tho example.
They fitted up sleeping apartments for their
passengers. In 1S4S there was farther i'm
provement In this direction. Finally, in due
time and In natural way, the present luxu-
rious sleeping car grew out of the old berth
cars But the sleeping car was not the climax
Of railway travel The hotel car Is nearly at
the top. A man nowadays on ono OF these
cars can eat leisurely and with perfect COM
fort The very apex of railway improve
ment isseen in the vestibufed train where one
can walk from end to end without going out
