BLEACHING THE HAIR.
Tho Vilo Compounds That Are Used fin the
Ssnseless Practice.

Ssnseless Practice.
 According to Medical Classics recent analyses havc shown that the preparations for bleaching tho hair ito the delicate golden shade so much admired by the court United States" to quo.c from a label on one of tho bottles, all depend upon tho discolor- ing and corrosive influence of nascent oxy- gen or nascent chlorine Tho basis used in the various nostrunls for this purpose are peroxide of hydrogen, aqua regia and bronzers' acid. Peroxide of hydrogen is the mildest and most innocuous of the trio named. It is a colorless liquid which de- stroys the natural color of the hair, and which, if used long enough, turns 1t an un- natural grayish white. It is rather expen- sive, and it is therefore used much less than the two other acids. It produces sores upon the scalp and gives rise to skin con- plaints that resemble letter, salt-rheum and scald-head. The two aclds are equally vile. They attack and eat the hair and skin alike. The former they partly bleach and partly burn to handsome gold color; the latter they stain to about the same hue as does light application of iodine. Besides the dermatologic troubles named, they cause maladies hardly distinguishable from eczema and erythema One curious disease that they cause is an inflammation of the cells of the hair follicles. The cellular walls break down, and lymph, and often blood, is extravasated in appreciablc quantities. All three bases produce falling out of the hair and premature badness.

How Some Men Get Rich.

That wasn't a bad investment which Erwin Davis made couple of years ago, says the New York Wod. Erwin Davis is the capitalist who so successfully tried to sell his gallery of paintings some months ago at fancy upset prices. He is smarter financier than picture seller. About two years ago he happened to learn that the second mortgage bonds of tho Richmond &
 Allcghany Railroad Company could be pur. chased at very low figure. Davis has 8 yearning for low-priced railroad bond
 He looked into the matter and found that the company had defaulted on the in. terest, and was apparently going to wreck and ruin. He bought the entire issue, $2,OOO,O 900, from the disgusted holders at 10 cents on the dollar. That was an invest ment of S2O0,C00 Being interested in the road he now insinuated himself into the management and very soon he controlled the board of directors. He so worked things that an entire reconstruction of the road seemed imperativcly necessary. He then invited tho attention of Mr. Hunting ton to the fact that his Chesapeake 6 Ohio system would not be complete without the Richmond 6 Alleghany. Huntington and Davis put their heads together and the re- suit was a ety-nine-year lease of the Davis road to the Huntington system, the second mortgage bonds being guaranteed per cent interest, which makes their mar. ket value 80 cents on the dollar. Profits to shrewd Erwin Davis in one year, $1, 400 ,OOO

LAST fall the republican campaign orators occupied themselves most indus triously in the effort to prove that the surplus was myth. After Harrison's election Tanner directed his strong right arm to its destruction, and it must be conceded that if he had been permitted to have his way there would have been little of it left for congress to quarrel over. However, the surplus is now given at s7O, SOC, ,O00, which with the fractional currency would make the actual amount nearly s1OO, ,OOO, ,O0O the highest figure it has touched since last October, and it is likely enough to grow instead of dimin- ishing.

out by Mississippi justice. What Mitch ell, Kilrain and others have been unable to do with their "dukes" Governor Lowry has done with the strong arm of the law. John L. is mighty man, but the law is mightier than fists. If it will be mighty enough to put him where he will be unable to knock out anything more than shoemaker's awl tho law abiding people of the country will sing aloud the praises of Mississippi's plucky governor.

MONEY PAID FOR RENT.

An important item ill the cost of living is for most people the amount paid for the rent of the houses in which they live. And we take it that general and appreeiative interest will be taken in any facts or studies bearing on the matter. It is for this reason that the results found by we'll informed lawyer of an analysis of the percentage of increase paid by his fellow citizens for the rent of their houses have a special and timely interest.
 This man found as result of his in- quiries, as might be expected, that the larger mans income the smaller the proportion of this which has to go out in procuring lodgment for himself and family. Thus, those whose income is from $500 to S1 ,O0O year are found to pay about one-fifth of it for home ac- commodations those having an income varying from S1,0OO to S1 300 pay about one-sixth for this purpose; those whose incomes range from S1 800 to $3,0O0 per annum pay about one-seventh of it out the form of rent; those having from 33,000 to ST ,50O year pay out about one- twelfth in this manner, while those hay ing an increase of S7 ,50O year and over pay about one-twentieth in rent, or it's equivalent in interest on capital invested in real estate. But, as the great mass of people are those having small incomes, it 1A oIf hot Pro, &of ten income-earning classes pay one-fifth of what they earn for home accOmmO- dations for themselves and their families. It would seem, however, to one who looks at the matter superfcially that the situation is somewhat different in this country in that while those having small incomes do not pay, perhaps, any more in the form of rent than persons having small incomes in Breslau, the Americans having an income of s7,500 a year and over must, in most instances, pay a much larger percentage in the way of rent or its equivalent. Indeed, it is quite probable that in the larger cities of this country there are hundreds of dwellers with whom rent or the interest upon capital invested in their homes is quite one-fifth of their annual incomes, and we suspect it is rarely the case that this expense runs below one-tenth of the regular income.
 It is quite clear that the system of holding personal interest in ones home by the carrying of mortgage, inspiring as it does to greater efforts for its lifting, is the most promising method of rent paying. That it is being largely adopted by American workingmen and others of small incomes is an encouraging sign. Those who are ambitious of owning thei1 own home will eventually realize theii ambition.

His Tax Was Crossed Out.

The following story is told by the Oxford (Me.) Democrat: About twenty years ago a Bluefield man, noted for his shrewedness, was attacked by the small pox. Conceiving the idea, as he was convalescing, that it would be Q good time to dispose of his road
 tax, he took his staff in one hand, and, shouldering his hoe, started for the scene of operations. Like the prodigal, he was seen 'afar off, The men began to throw up their heads and sniff trouble. The sur veyor sang out: "I SNOW, Jase, they are afraid of ye.' Can't help it, says Jason, I have got to work out my tax Say, Jase, if you'll go back I'll cross out your tax All right says Jayson, and the tax was crossed out"

Equilibrium of the Sexes.

Whenever careful and reliable statistics have been obtained it is found that more male than female children have been born. In Great Britain. where the returns are nearer perfection than elsewhere, the pro portion for the last ten years was found tc be 1,04l males to 1000 females. It is g singular fact, however, that the mortality among the male children is greater, so that the equilibrium is restored in ten years and census of children of that age show the sexes to be equal From that age on. ward. owing to the more perilous occupa tions of males, to losses in war, etc., the proportion of females begins to increase until the final census in England shows 1000 women of all ages to 949 men.

were enabled to point out the advantages that were certain to come from reason able reduction of the tariff tax such as they advocated. Recent developments, as shown by a report on the imports and exports from the colonies, show that the lesson is still at hand.
 It may be said in a general way that the conditions under which business IS carried on, so far as natural, social and political advantages are concerned, are much the same in each colony, the differ ence in conditions arising almost entirely from the application of different econo- mic systems. The people of the colony of Victoria have believed that it was for their interest to adopt a system of indus trial protection, while the people of the adjoining colony of New South Wales have believed it was for their advantage to adopt what would be called a free trade system. Here we have two com munities situated side by side, one blessed or cursed by protection and the other blessed or cursed by free trade, whatever way the outsider may choose to look at the matter. It would seem out of the natural order, If the economy of protection works as its disciples and advocates claim it should 1 that the average rate of wages should be higher in New South Wales, the free trade community, than in Victoria, ant that in growth of population, increase o1 wealth and other characteristics of pros perity Victoria, the protectionist colony should lag behind her younger sister And yet such is the case, as was showr ! during the campaign last fall. The re port of imports and exports recently published brings to light certain un
 expected data. It might be assumed ol general principles, if protection mean
 anything, that a country which levied ; high protection tax would import a rel
 atively small quantity of foreign goods As a matter of fact, Victoria has thu
 largest imports of any of the Australian
 colonies, her proportion being S93 pc
 head of population per annum, accord
 ing to the rates of 1887. Her expor
 rate, on the other hand, is the lowest o
 any of the colonies except Tasmania
 being only $55.5O per head. In Nev lSouth Wales the two pretty nearl..
 balance, the imports being $91 per hea' land the exports S90.40 per head. S i've have the anomaly of country tha
 has protectionist barrier around it no only being unable to prevent tn Importation of foreign goods, bu
 being unable to export her nativ iproducts to any considerabl fextent; while the free trade colony Ina found that the amount of its imports lcontrolled by it's exports.
 ! These facts may not mean anythin
 to the advocates of 8 high protectiv
 tariff, but to most people they will in dicate that there is structural weak
 ness to the system that is so utterl
 barren of the results that it is intende to effect. The colonies of Australi
 furnish very instructive lesson to pel sons who are interested in the study ( Ipolitical economy.
