New York'. Artfticiai blondes.

Some OF the beauty seen In Broadway
is shockingly bleached. There seemed to
be reform well started III the matter OF
artificial blondes, and for awhile some OF
the foolish users of bleaching aclds
showed signs Of repentance. II Is dlin-
cult for fashionable sinner OF tins sort
to become good. 1t was necessary 10
either let the natural color OF the hair
assert itself at the roots, and slowly pro
gress outwardly. thus leaving for con
siderable time a sharply defined border
between the two hues, OF else cut all the
hair off closely, and wear a wig until
new growth was secured. Many repent
ant fraudulent blondes put themselves
right, however, and it was hoped that
the yellow mania would entirely subside.
But there is a relapse, at least among the
women who Conspicuously promenade
Broadway. The majority Of the offend
ers, however. are actresses, and our
genuine women of fashion are letting
their hair have its own way as to color.
A young woman went down Broadway
Just before me Her hair was a light
lemon color 1t had palpably been made
so by bleaching. That would not have
aroused special interest.
But | CHANGED to see that her eye
brows and eyelashcs, contrary to the Gus
tom of bogus blondes, had been also
blanched to match her hair Usually
those hirsute adjuncts of the face are left
natural, for women who indulge in hair
bleaching do not seem to mind easy de
lection. This girls complexion was
richly rosy, and not at all like the
freckled paIlor that characterizes a true
blonde. Seeing that the bright pink and
white of her face was truthful, and that
she had taken the unusual pains of light
ening her brows and lashes, | was SO
anxious about her that | followed her
into dir e museum that has just been
opened close TO Broadway. There lost
sight of mysteriously. but her disap-
pearance was explained when. ten min
utes later, saw her take her place on
the platform with the human curiosities.
She was bulletincd as a Circassian girl,
and the lecturer told how she had been
brought from Circassia. The fact was
that, since coming in from the street, she
had merely removed her hat, cloak and
long skirts, let down her fluffy hair, and
there she was typical Circassian girl,
or Albino, of the familiar show. That
is what we come TO in the excess Of
fashion. \ bell of the promenade will
do for an exhibit in dime museum

There are various diseases which affect
horses more severely than mankind, and
vice versa. For instance, Inflammation
of the bowels is not disease of a hope
less character in the human being, while
1t is invariably fatal in the horse If
horse said to be suffering from this dis
ease RECEIVERS you may safely make up
your mind that the diagnosis was wrong
and that the animal had acute indiges-
ton. impaction of the bowels, or some
trouble not Of an inAammatory nature.
In some lung troubles the reverse holds
good Horses suffer a great deal from
bronchitis and pneumonia, but the death
rate from these affections is nothing like
Us high a. in the human subject. This Is
probably because the use of stimulants
enters so largely into the treatment of
these troubles, and that mans system
does not respond as quickly to alcohol as
the system of the water drinking horse.
There is much to be learned from a
glance over comparative pathology,
though very few physicians know any
thing of disease except as it is exhibited
in the human race.-Dr. II. F. James in
Globe-Democrat.

The cheapest room farmer can get

it is the most valuable, especially for
keeping stock om:ortable during the
cold weather. But there is further
profit in raising barns and putting cell
lars under them. A bar that has stood
close to the ground has been during that
time not only the harbor for noxious
vermin, but the occasion of serious
waste Of valuable manure. Much of the
liquid excrement of stock stabbed above
will be found under the barns absorbed
by the SOIL which it converts into the
richest heterogeneous manure. Nitre was
formerly obtained from the soil under
old buildings, and it so impregnates
earth under stables and barns that load
of it drawn upon the feds will do more
good than an equal quantity of barn
