All the trees on the Orange Vale colony

planted.

THE HUMAN HAIR.
Evidence That 1t Grows for Years After
Death.

Evidence That 1t Grows for Years After
Death.
EDS. SUNDAY UNION: In the RECORD
UNION of Saturday, May 18th l read an
article on the growth of the hair, in which
the writer held up to ridicule the idea
that the hair grew any after the death OF
the scalp. wish to correct this statement,
from positive knowledge of the fact that
it not only grows, but most profusely.
An aged relative of our family who, at
the time wish to speak of, was resident
of one of the towns in New Hampshire,
lost her family one after another within a
short period of years, with the exception
of two sons. Her husband was the first to
go, and after his death she removed to an
other city, where the children soon, like
him, were laid away.
After number of years, wishing to have
them all buried together, she returned to
her former place of residence for the pur-
pose of removing her husbands bones.
When disinterred it was found that the
coffin had rotted and portions crumbled
away, and nothing but the skeleton was
left of the deceased. He had been shaved
and his hair cut only the day before his
death, yet it had grown so long that it
hung down upon his shoulders like a
woman's.
The same thing occurred in the case of
one of the sons whom the mother had dis
inferred five year3 after his decease His
body, which, as seen through the glass,
appeared to be in perfect preservation,
when it was removed and the air came in
contact with it, fell Immediately into dust,
but the hair had grown long, thick and
luxuriant, proving conclusively that it
feeds upon the scalp just as long as there
is the smallest portion of it left, and the
scalp doubtless draws its nourishment
from the body, as it is the last portion of
the body to give way to decomposition.

The regular weekly report of the mana.
ger of California on Wheels" was received
on Friday by the State Board of Trade.
The report covers the movements of the
exhibition during the week ending Satur-
day, the 18th inst, and gives flattering
account of its reception in the Northwest.
The train arrived in st. Paul. Mimi, on the
18th, and remained in that city six days.
The train has thus far travelled !, 2sl miles,
and its contents have been viewed by 634, =
$50 spectators.
Such an interest has been created in the
exhibition that the services of an advance
agent have become almost needless, and
the cars are crowded almost to suffocation
at every town and city visited during the
past month. Another consignment of ex-
hibits to be placed in the cars was for
wsrded on Friday by the Board of Trade.
President w. H. Mills. of the Board of
Trade, denies the report that the Board
contemplated the removal of its headquar-
tiers to Plafts Hall, and placing its exhibit
with that of the Viticultural Commission.

We're all we girls together.

And one whose name I'll not confess,
(FOr you see it was only me .
And what we didn't plan for fun.
From the m mute the long school day begun,
Till home we tramped at three;
Well. it just want worth feather.
Martha, you remember how you
And Mary and all. such happy crew,
Swept down on the vegetable patch;
Salt in hand, with pockets bullying,
Our hunger in young tomatoes indulging,
All seated among the vines;
Apples green, or apples ripe,
Yielded their pleasures to us alike,
With the bounty of Soi0mons mines.
Were we happy guess when high in a tree.
Say, Lib, were Queens as happy as we?

On the highest possible branch.
No fear had we of a broken bone:
Our healthy compilations to blanch.
Now we've all grown up" and our childreI

In and about the same old place,
And the school-yard down the road,
And their mischievous pranks and love of fun,
Their tales OF school life Just begun;
OF May and Clara. Evfe and Jack,
For of merry comrades there seems no lack,
Lifts from my brain a weary load,
And memory fondly turns to gaze
With longing eyes on those dear old days

LET US have good, strong, well-ap-
pointed and hearty celebration of the ma
tional anniversary this year. Halfway
celebrations of the recurrence of the ma
TONS natal day contribute nothing to
patriotic spirit and tend to bring the OBJ
servance into disrepute. 1t is not neces-
sary, absolutely, that a large sum of money
shall be raised to have good celebration
it is possible to celebrate appropriately
and enthusiastically on the expenditure of
comparatively small sum; it is simply a
question of methods. While there is no
one feature of the old-time celebrations
that We disapprove of, yet it is easily under
stood how new features and less expensive
ones can be introduced into the celebration
in years when it is most difficult to pro-
vide money for the cost of anniversary
observance.

in the center of one lens let him gum

SWELL INFORMED" Louisianan tells
Chicago press reporter that he fears
greatly that the efforts of the lottery man
ayers to buy and run that State will be
successful. The recent disasters by food,
the financial distress of the people and
the glittering promises of the lottery
syndicate, he believes will prove too much
for weak human nature 1t is worthy of
being noted, however, that there are hun
dreds of brave spirits who are doing gallant
battle against the lottery fend. They
have organized societies and clubs through
out the State, called anti-lottery clubs,
and the best citizenship of the State is
being drawn into these organizations.

DIR. McGLYNN, the ex-priest of St.
Stephens, in conversation with a
RDooRD-UNToN reporter on Friday, de-
clared that a chief mistake the Catholic
Church authorities are making is their an
tagonism to the public school system. 1t
is putting it mildly to characterize it as
mistake" the destruction of the school
system would be nothing short of crime !;
attempts to destroy it. therefore, are direct
assaults upon the people by whose will it
is maintained. DIR. McGlynn is sound in
the declaration that mo one will be led
astray from religion by reason of attending
the public schools" Let parents teach
their children such religious doctrines as
their belief warrants, and if parents are
derelict in this duty, let the Church disci-
pline such as are bound by obligation to
it; or let il itself attend to the spiritual
instruction of the child, and for which
there is ample opportunity outside the
school. But any and all efforts to mingle
religion with common school instruction
are antagonistic to an institution INSOFAR
ably linked with free government.
