BAD FOR BLONDES,
why Girls with Golden Tresses should
Avoid Natural Gus.

why GirIs with Golden Tresscs should
Avoid Natural Gus.
Natural gas has made enemies among
ladies Blonde hair has had much to
do with it. When burning gas is in
troduced into the same apartment with
blonde hair, and allowed to remain
there, the peculiar action of the one
upon the other will develop. Some
ladies are not attached to their hair;
this is unnatural. Most of the fair sex
glory in their hair, this ois natural.
But, whether natural or not, in either
case the hair of golden hue always suf-
ters from association with natural gas.
Notwithstanding this effect, there is
an affinity which draws the two to-
gether and blonde hair can not escape
the influence of its ardent plague when
The effect is imperceptible at first, and
IL is only after u certain period of close
association that the pernicious and
utterly demoralizing influence upon
blonde harris apparent and the hitherto
unknown character of the deceptive
gas is discovered.
The insidious influence seems to be
eXertive at first contact of gas with
blonde hair, although not Immediately
noticeable upon the latter, and lays
hold of every fiber of its nature,
growing more powerful and assertive,
until the victim imperceptibly gives
way and the work of ruin has so far
progressed that any effort TO free blonde
hair is futile, and the end is accom-.
plished in the utterly blackened char
acter of the beautiful victim.
To be more specific, the vapor, i'm
perceptible to the naked eye, generated
by the gas attacks the golden tresses.
whether wig or in n state of luxuriant
growth, and gradually darkens the hue
of blonde hair as long as the influence
continues. The vapor is ammonia,
which can be seen on the glass in a
room where it rises. 1t combines with
the sulphur in the hair chemically,
which produces sulpheret of am
monia. Where the chemical action is
strong enough the hair would become
black. This is plausible.
A Penn avenue physician, in speak
ing of some of the effects of heat from
natural gas, said:
"The use of natural gas has been a
general topic of complaint with large
number of my patients. | am not pre-
pared to say that deafness is on the in.
crease, but natural gas as it is now
used in dwellings has n decided ten
dency in that direction. The great
trouble is this: The gas is turned on
temperature is obtained and main
tained throughout the day and night
This at all times is unhealthy. The
heat is entirely without moisture, that
will naturally dry up the delicate
membranes, produce dry catarrhal
disease which very materially affects
the ear and throat. producing both
hoarseness and deafness.
with coal it is different. There is
certain amount of moisture given out
in the combustion along with the
various degrees of heat obtained. OF
course, any heat is dry in the abstract,
but when combined with steam or any
moist substance the effects are very diff
ferent. A number of our patients de-
clare that the gas has made them deaf.
That can only be. as | have said, he
cause the excessive heat dries up the
membranes in the head. ."-Pittsburgh

OCEAN CURlOSITlES.
Queer Things Found In the Sea by Con.
necticut Fishermen,

queer Things FOunu IN the Sea by Con-
necticut Fishermen.
Stonington fishermen are continually
drawing queer things, sometimes treas
ures, from the bosom of the deep. Ono
of the Williams brothers, of that
borough, lobstermen, was surprised to
find in one of his pots in Fishers Island
Sound lobster as blue as the sky. and
he placed il on exhibition. 1t was blue
all over, dark on the back and shading
by imperceptible degrees into a light
though vivid hue at the end of the
claws, as delicate as the pink that
etches the inner curve of some tropical
sea shells.
Old fish dealers of Stonington said
that no such beast was ever taken from
Connecticut waters before; but they
were mistaken. Two blue Holsters
were Gagged in Fishers Island Sound
last summer by lobstermen Wheeler
and Story, of Norwich; yet blue lob
sters are exceedingly rare. Not u
dozen of them have been taken. it is
believed, in the history of the fishing
industry of this country; all that have
been caught have been "chicken" lob
sters. Science is unable to account for
the hue unless ii is due to melancholy
of temperament.
At about the time that Williams
captured his blue lobster. Captain
Samuel Staplins, of Stonington, picked
up round clam on the shore, and he
extracted from its belly neat little
pearl, for which Tiffany & Co., of New
York, offered him $25. Every idle man
in Stonington is now walking the ocean
beach picking up round CLAIMS and
cracking them. One day last summer
u Stonington fisherman found pearl
in clam, and got $50 for it from
Maiden Lane dealer in precious stones,
and few days after that happening,
lucky borough man caught big fish
in whose stomach were u button hook,
some glove buttons and other toilet
articles that evidently had belonged to
a western belle at Watch hill.-Nor-
wich Comm Letter.

Interesting Facts About Wood.

II has long been assumed that the
wood on the north side of tree will
not warp as much us that of the south
side. and that if trees are sawn in
planes running east and west, e. the
tree stands, it will warp less than if
cut in the opposite direction. How
ever this may be, the fact appears to
have been we'll ascertained that the
tendency to warp when sawn into
boards is much greater in green than
ln dry wood, and that the convex side
OF the curve is always toward the
heart. Such warping, due to unequal
shrinkage, and TO the more open tex
ture of the external portion of the tree,
is said not to occur in the middle plank
or board Of the log, excepting as IL may,
in slight degree, reduce the breadth.
This quality Of not warplng, which is
in many cases absolutely Indispensable
for certain uses-;ts for example. in
the sounding boards of pianoa--is Sc
cured in the case OF spruce timber by
first quartering the logs. and then saw
ing them with Tho angle downward; it
is then sawn into boards very nearly at
right angles with the line of annnlar
growth. and small strip is taken OFF
trinngularly, 10 have the board square
edged. qualities of stability and strength
being thus secured, not otherwise oh
tainable.-N. Y, sun.

PAWNBROKER NELSON'S CASE.

Captain Christopher p. Smith as Prose-
cutting Attorney.
The examination of Pawnbroker Mel
son upon charges of taking a pledge from
a minor, ov~ercharging, and failing to
keep an accurate account of his business
transactions as required by law, was
begun before Justice Stilsing this morn
ing. Captain Christopher Prettyman
Smith undertook to act as prosecuting at
torney, and succeeded about as well as
he once did in finding Mrs. Jones.
He began proceedings by announcing
that he would abandon the matter under
the State law and proceed under the city
ordinance. Mr.. Norman Rowe, who rep
resented Mr.. Nelson, then stated that he
wished to be fair with the captain, and
would state that he would insist upon all
the forms of the law being observed, so
that there might be a proper record OF
the case.
Then Captain Christopher P. Smith re-
sponded to the courtesy of Mr., Rowe
by sneeringly remarking:-"We'H give
you plenty of form before we get through"
Dollie McCarter, a bright little girl OF
eleven years, testified that she went to
Nelson's shop about a week ago and put
away" a skirt for Mrs. Flood, who lives at
No. 1877 Steuben street. She received fifty
cents for the skirt, and a ticket.
After leaving the shop she was met by
Policeman Clark. who took her to the
Grove street station. There she says she
was searched and the ticket taken away
from her.
Captain Smith said that the ticket was
marked for sixty cents, whereas the girl
received but fifty cents, and it was on
that fact that he based his charge of over
charging.
The charge for receiving a pledge from
a minor was withdrawn, and the case
went over.

PEACEFUL REPUBLICANS.
The County Committee Holds q ouie
Little Session.

The County Holds o Quiet
Little Session.
Lights illuminated the windows of the
top floor of Franklin Hall last night be-
cause the Republican County General
Committee held a meeting there. The
meeting was brief and but little business
was transacted.
The question of the Hoboken Post
Office was not touched on at all as was an
~ticipated, and the lively row expected did
not take place. Only harmony reigned.
and this caused such a surprise that Sam
Dickinson, General Ramsay and Tom
McEwen returned to their homes almost
disguised. These old veterans of the G.
Q. p: are never happy when there is too
much peace.
1t was decided to hold the primaries for
the election Of delegates to the State Con-
vention, September IL, and the Committee
on Organization was instructed to wait on
the Board of Aldermen to request repre-
sentation at the polls. The call will be
issued very soon for the primaries, and
advertised in THE JERSEY CITY News.

nounced by this paper will be held Sep

A Lay Judge Finds Power.

N lay CouSO Inv GOWCIs
A start was made yesterday to free
the Essex County Jail at Newark of at
least some of the prisoners locked up
there. The institution has been greatly
overcrowded of late, two inc three men
occupying a cell, owing to the absence in
Europe Of the Presiding Judge of the
Court n the i%nfrequent holding of the
Special Sessions Court. Men whose
terms had expired, it was urged, could
not be discharged because no Law Judge
was On hand to concur in their lease, as
recommended by the Jail Discharge Com
mittee of the Board of Chosen Freehold
ers. Attorneys for some of the prisoners
whose terms were out, and friends of the
others, made a vigorous kick at this
state of affairs, but now the difficulty has
been overcome.
Lay Judge Ledwith, in connection with
a county official, found in looking up the
law that in case of the Law Judge of a
court being absent for any cause, and in
counties where no Law Judge existed, the
Lay Judges were empowered to sign dis
charges for prisoners. Acting on this
discovery Judge Ledwith today signed
discharges for about fifteen prisoners
from the County Jail who were entitled
to their liberty, and the parties were dis
charged.
