I'm ON my way to interview dead

young man proceeded to the house of a
we'll known lawyer, where he expected
to obtain the obituary of a prominent
citizen. Entering the house in a solemn
manner he asked the lawyer in subdued
t. ne:
Ian you give me an obituary of the
late Colonel Blank?"

shouted, "here's man after your obitu-

We have been shown a curious shoe,
owned by N. B. Bunker of Newburyport.
1t was found in an cid house recently de-
n1olished, which was built in 100. The
upper is of caifskin and closed with wax
thread. The sole and heel are of one
piece and made of wood. The upper is
fastened to the sole with common iron
tacks, the edge of the sole being mortised
the thickness of the upper leather to
receive it. Across the tee the tacks are
brass. On the under edge of the sole
from the instep is band of iron like
miniature horseshoe, channeled to re-
ceive the nails. The heel may have been
similarly shod, but if so it has been worn
off and the wooden heel is well rounded
by wear. The shoe is fastened by an
iron clasp, which in its day was some-
what ornamental. 1t is one of the
cariosities of footwear, and we would
like to know its history.

"shall Women woo!''

There are few problems of special in
terest to women, and therefore to all the
world (of which woman is the autOcrat),
about which Kate Field has not some
thing to say that is worth hearing. She
is now trying to solve the problem,
"Shall women woo?" and here are few
of her strokes: According to our rather
curious system it is perfectly consistent
with human dignity to ask another for
honor, affection, DEVOTIONAL the most
precious things in life-but it is not per-
mitted to be indebted for material neces-
sites In nominal state of society man
is the bread winner, and can ask woman
to share his loaf without loss of selfre-
spect. Suppose, however, the proposal
of marriage devolves upon the woman !?
She is placed in the awkward position of
a suppliant for material benefits. Why
this should be ignominious is by no means
easy to explain, but who will venture to
dispute the facts?
Compare the mental constitution of the
two sexes. Here it would seem for a
moment as if so delicate an office might
wisely be given to women. A man
reaches decision by process of reason.
while a woman jumps to it by the sim
pier and director method of intuition.
No one pretends to urge that reason is
of any use at all in the direction of the
affections. But, On the other hand,
woman lacks to a marked degree the
mental quality of single mindedness. AS
she reconsiders her answers. and so has
made proverbial "a wenan's 40, SO she
might take to reconsidering her suit,

Take hair from the beard or from the
head and scruinize it and you will see
that it shows some attenuated places, in
dicating that at some period of its growth
the blood supply was deficient from over
work, anxiety, or under feeding.
The hair falls out when the strength OF
it's roots Is insufficient to sustain its weight
any longer, and a new hair will take It's
place unless the root is diseased. For this
reason each person has certain definite
