A Vermont photographer relates the fol-
lowing amusing conversation which he had
one day with a would-be customer, a
countryman, who walked into the studio,
and began examining the photographs.

That's picture of the sun, the artist
replied. III took several views of its surface

"Shol'' said the visitor. "Aint the sun

YES, replied the photographer, "but
that don't make any difference. We get
good views of it just the same.''

A BLIND BRIDAL COUPLE.
Touching Story of a Man and Wife Wht
Never Saw Each Other.

Touching Story of Man and Wife Who
Never Saw Each Other.
Toledo Bladel
Every pleasant evening, in that hour just
before twilight, which we all love to idle
away with inconsequential thoughts and
observations, there passes my window a
couple that greatly interests me. The lady
is but a young girl, it seems, and she has
such pretty face, so white, and peaceful,
with something of sadness in it, something
ofjoy.
She has great eyes that stare strangely at
you, and, at the sound of her companions s
voice, their lids are dropped, and the long,
graceful eyelashes fall upon her cheeks.
The man reminds me of one of the old Sax
ons. He is big and strong, and has the
curly golden hair and the big blonde beard
of that race of men. His companion hangs
on his arm, and yet he seems to depend
upon her as much as she on him, for they
cling very closely indeed together, while he
carefully picks their way out with light
cane.
Both are blind. I inquired about them
the other day. Neither ever saw the light
of day. Neither can ever know how glori-
Gus the sunlight is, how prettily blend the
beautiful hues of the flowers, how grand all
nature looks. Neither ever saw the otherl
and yet they are bridal pair.
They only live in world of darkness and
in each other. They met long ago, became
devotedly attached to each other and were
married. And SO now every evening when
the weather is fine, they go out for a little
stroll, and as they slowly, carefully walk
past my window think-''it is a sad and
yet pretty sight-a blind bridal pairF'

ONE OF THE SUTHERLAND SISTERS
Says That People Are Too Rough in Their
Treatment of the Blair.

Says That People Are Too Rough in Their
Treatment of the Blair.
People are too rough in their treatment of
the hair, especially those who have long
hair. Care should pe taken to avoid break
ing the hair. 1t should be combed gently
with a very coarse rubber or tortoise shell
comb; the latter is the best. Never use a
brush of any kind. They only irritate the
scalp needIessly. Keeping the scalp per-
fectly clean is the most important thing.
Shampoo the head once a week. Produce a
strong lather and clean the whole scalp
thoroughly. Then rinse with clean water
soft water preferred. Now press the water
from the hair with dry towel, taking care
not to rub and break the hair, and fan it
until it is dry. Wait until the hair is per-
fectly dry before combing it, and then
handle it as gently as possible. At night 1
braid nv hair and twist it into knot; then
1 put a light silk cap over it to pre-
vent lint from getting into the hair, and to
avoid mussing and breaking the hair. Peo-
pie with hair that is continually falling
out, or even those that are completely bald,
can get good growth of hair by attending
to it properly. Wearing the hair done up
in q tight coil is injurious, and wearing
false hair of any kind interferes with the
growth of the real hair. At times a stimu-
liant is needed to soften the skin and nour-
ish and strengthen the roots of the hair, but
powders and hair oil should never be used,
as they clog the hair with grease, render it
sticky and musty and obstruct the pores of
the scalp. All kinds of hair dyes and
q chemicals for bleaching the hair are injur-
ious. They destroy the vitality of the hair,
give it dead look and cause it to fall out
early. NAOMI SUTHERLAND.

"A RAIRDRESSER'S OPINION.
American Women Don't Know How to Care
for Their Hair.

American Women Don't Know How TO Care
for Their Hair.
Very few ladies in this country know how
to take care of the hair. Abroad it is part
of q ladY's education to know how to keep
her hair, her hands, her feet, her teeth and
her complexion in perfect condition. The
American ladies who were educated abroad,
or who have maids to attend them, are al
most the only ones who give their hair
proper attention. The rest let it go any way,
and you will see elegantly dressed women
on the street with hair broken off at the back
and sticking out in every direction. Very
few hairdressers in this country understand
their business. The only good ones are those
who have been brought up to it and whose
fathers we're hairdressers before them. The
art cannot be learned in this country; it
must be learned abroad. 1t is not necessary
70 wash the head very often, if the hair is
carefully combed and dressed every day.
When a shampoo is needed braid the hair,
commencing about four inches from the
head and braiding to the ends. Then wet
the scalp and with sponge apply lather
made from the best soap that can be OBJ
tanned. After rubbing the scalp thoroughly
with the fingers, wash the head with clean
not sit by fire or near a gas burner, as
heat will make the hair brittle. 1t is best
TO not even use a fan, but take plenty of
time for the hair to dry. 1t will be from an
hour to an hour and half Do not comb
it or put it up before it is thoroughly dry.
A drop of hair oil may be used to give it
gloss. Only the best oil, that made by the
leading French houses, should be en-
ployed. The nair should be combed with
a tortoise shell comb, and a brush made
of horse hair should be the only one
used. These brushes are made expressly
for the purpose in France and England, and
cost So each. In dressing the hair care
should be taken to avoid straining it by
doing it up too tightly. The late style of
drawing it all up on top of the head was
very injurious. The tendency of the hair
is to grow downward, and fastening it up
broke of the hair at the back of the neck.
The styles of braiding and twisting into a
coil at the back, from which Two small curls
are left hanging, or of twisting the hair into
two strands and forming what is called the
chain link, which droop from the crown of
the head to the edge of the neck, are be-
coming to the wearer, and do not interfere
with the growth of the HAIR. 1t is better for
the ladies to wear false front than to curl
their own hair with an iron every morning
and gradually burn it up in front.

New Source of EIectricitn.

What may prove to be a most valuable
discovery has been made by Prof. Braun, of
Tubingen. Hitherto it has been found i'm
possible to transform mechanical work direct
into electricity. Prof. Braun has found that
nickel wire develops the strongest currents
by winding it into spiral, and connecting
its ends with delicate measuring appara-
tus (galvanometer). The pointer of the
galvanometer defects considerably accord
ing to the elongation or compression of the
spiral, showing that relatively strong cur
rents are created, the current flowing
during the elongation of the spiral in a
direction opposite to that in which the wire
had been run in its passage through the
drawplate. Should the anticipations of the
professor be fulfilled, the currents would
supply to the engineer the cheapest means
of Transforming work into electricity direct.
Prof Braun's experiments also confirm the
well-known law of reciprocation. In pass
ing through spiral the current of number
of Bunsen elements, he could prove an
elongation or compression of the spiral ac-
eord1ng to the direction of the current.

Progress In Photography.

The art of photography has been reduced
to fine point. Prof Absolute has sue
ceeded in photographing rifle ball travel
ing at the rate of 1900 feet second, the
plate being exposed only 0.O00076 part of a
second. New applications of photography
are being made every day. The reporters
on many of the New York newspapers now
carry cameras with them, and, should an
incident be of special interest, negative
accompanies the description oil it.
There is great activity among the amateur
photographers in New York, Chicago, Phil
adelphia and, indeed, throughout the
made for the centennial celebration, and it
is estimated that 5000 pictures will be taken
of the procession and other principal feat
ures. The value of medium like this for
insuring an absolutely faithful historical
record of great event is unquestionable.

fevers, causes badness Excessive brain
work is responsible for many bald heads,
and wearing hats constantly cannot be too
often condemned. Whenever get into a
railway car 1 take off my hat. don't put
on a tight-ftting skull cap either. The
hair needs air, and the head to be kept cool.
The reason that there are more bald men
than women is due to the fact that women
wear hats that admit the air to the top of
the head, while mems hats exclude the air.
Badness among men is undoubtedly in
creasing, and is due to the fact that men do
more head work and take less rest and re-
Taxation now than formerly.

A PHYSICIANS OBSERVATIONS.
The ERcacy Of Cold Water in Preventing
Badness.

The Emcacy Of Cold Water in Preventing
Badness.
The best way to avoid scalp troubles, hair
falling out, and premature badness is to
use nothing but clear water on the head.
When you go to barber do not let him put
bears grease, vaseline or similar substances
upon your hair. These are more likely to
cause trouble than to do good. In cases
where dandruf, scald head or any scalp dis
ease appears, soap of good quality should be
used in the water with which the head is
cleaned: Cold water, followed by gentle
rubbing, is exhilarating to the scalp and is
usually all the stimulant that the hair needs.
Dandruff is an exudation from the pores of
the scalp that spreads and dries, forming q
scale or scurf. 1t is caused in nearly all
cases by bad condition of the blood. A
person affected with scrofula almost ALWAYS
has dandru1f A frequent use of fine
tooth comb is likely to irritate the scalp,
and cause dandruff to appear. In cases of
this kind, after wshsing the head, apply a
little vaseline to soften the skin. If the air
is falling out, and stimulant is wanted,
rub the scalp with brandy with little salt
in it.
Badness is due to several causes; heredity
is one Of them. Members of some families
get bald early, while in Others the hair re-
mains until old age. Scrofula is frequent

The Morphine HabIt.

A French physician draws a graphic
picture of the terrible effects caused by the
widespread use Of morphine by ladies in the
highest Partisan circles, and mentions the
fact that children born of women addicted
to the morphine habit are practically NOR
phine eaters from birth. During the first
few day of life unless morphine is given to
them they are very apt to suffer collapse;
and this condition may end in death, the
child being too weak to withstand the vio-
lent symptoms, which are similar to those
which follow the sudden withdrawal of the
drug in adult opium eaters.

Effect of Perfumes.

It is now established that flowers and the
perfumes distilled from them have salu-

stitute therapeutic agency of high value.
Residence in perfumed atmosphere forms a
protection from pulmonary affections and

town of La Grasse, France, where the max
phthisis is almost unknown, owing to the
odorous vapors exhaled from the numerous
distilleries.

hours after the first. He then took piece

Injurious Effects of Immature Lager Beer

Lager beer, from its name, implies beer
that has been kept for certain period. A
year, or six months at least, is the time
which SHOULD elapse before such beer is
tapped. The German and Austrian govern
ments impose both fine and imprisonment
for any infraction of this rule, because of
the deleterious effects of such drink before
such lager or keeping shall have expired.
Here, however, there is no such law, and
our brewers have not only greatly curtailed
the time of keeping, but are seeking to do
SO further, at the expense of the liver and
kidneys of the unsuspecting American beer
drinker. 1t is easily understood why renal
complaints should be so much on the in
crease, and it is to be hoped that the Board
of Health OF this city will turn its attention
to the subject.

Cure of Con.umntIon.

An apparatus for the cure of consumption
by inhalation of super-heated air has been
devised by DR.. Louis Weigert, of Berlin.
The apparatus consists of an upright bear
ing a burner, the flame from which heats
the interior OF a copper cylinder inclosed in
another, the space between the two being a
reservoir from which air ia drawn through
a tube having a check valve. 1t is stated
that the inhalation of this dry super-heated
air will destroy the bac1lli, besides enlarg-
ing the lungs and improving their Oxidinng
Qualities.

Drawbridge Operated BY Electricity.

Another illustration of the extent to
which electricity is superseding manual
labor is afforded by recent installation at
Bridgeport, Conn. A drawbridge there,
1S0 feet long, 60 feet wide and weighing 800
tons, was formerly operated by three men,
and under the most favorable circumstances
it took six minutes to open and close the
draw, thereby causing a serious Interrupt
ton to the traffic. The draw can now Be
opened and closed by electricity in two min
utes, and the expense is limited to the hiring
of one man, and the monthly charge of the
considerable saving is effected.
