Hair and Teeth Becoming Extinct.

The allegation of certain scientists that tho coming race is to be hairless and toothless has created some anxiety. the conclusion being that such n race will be the reverse of handsome or comely in appearance; but is there an; reason for alar'na That the race is gradually changing under the processes of evolution, scarcely admits of doubt. The most distinguished physicians will frankly admit this They tell of organs that have ceased to be useful. and have either disappeared or arc gradually disappearing. That hair should he ovolutcd from a mans head and teeth from his mouth Is not so strange upon reflection as it at first appears. Both are vegetable, rather than animal sub stances. and mark tho connection of man with vegetable life, of which many scientists believe ho was once part Both have been known in some instances to grow after the man was dead and buried. showing that there is no longer any necessary connection between animal and vege- table life, and that whom found in combination. the latter may be dispensed with without injury to the former. Men are themselves uncon- sciously preparing for tho change, 80 far us their personal appearance is con- earned. by clipping their hair so closo that tho outline of the skull Is clearly defined, and they would be repudiated by Indian warriors as unfit for scalping purposes. This is moro apparent in the higher walks of life. whore 1t is reasonable to expect that the action of evolution would be most pronounced. This clipping of the hair denotes that 1t Is no longer needed. and is in strik- ing contrast with tho custom which prevailed hundred years ago and for tho centuries prior to that time. when long hair was considered both orns. mental and useful. Tho enormous null duplication of barbers and dentists with in fifty years will be variously explained as the cause or effect of bald heads and toothless gums, which have multiplied in proportion during that time. but the most enlightened opinion credits them with being tho effect rather than tho cause. and as having done much to ar rost the rapid donudation of the head and gums. But with all their skill. they appear powerless to stem tho tide of evolution, bald heads and toothless gums being fearfully on the increslse in all enlightened communities

A DOZEN DEADHEADS.
How They Were Gotten Into tho Circus
 Without Pay.

"Nuout TSy.
 People were willing to pay almost my price for tickets of admission to the last republican convention, and yet it was the easiest place in the world to get into if one only had the requi- site cheek. One man, and no very big one, either, but just one of the common herd, took plain notc-head and wrote ''Chief doorkeeper republican conven- tion: You will pass B. F. Jones and E. T. Smith," and merely signed his name to the order. 1t was good. and still the writer had no moro right to make such request than tin soldier.
 Whom gentleman had related tho above incident some one remarked that it might be easy to gain admission to a convention by tho aid of cheek. but ono couldn't work circus tha. way.
 That's where you are wrcng.n said third person; Il am well aware that cheek is commodity the circus man has usually large stock of, but saw 1t most successfully used against him one day. It was circus day down on tho lake front; the ordinary largo crowd was there, standing aroSnd listening to the music and loaiing gen. erally; the small boys wero there wait ing for any possible chance of .gettin' in A man went up to group of anxious urchins.

 " 'fas; bet yer life wo do, came in chorus from the lads. They marched up ill front of the door-tender Count these boys said tho man. and tho guardsman of the great moral exhibi- tion checked tho lads off with his iin- ger as they rushed by him and scatter cd on tho inside.
 One. two. three counted tho aoorkeeper, and finally announced eleven

 Hold on there. said tho circus man; 'arc you going to pay for these boysa

Much obliged And away he won't astonishment at the surprising check preventing the doorkeeper from mak- ing any further effort to stop him. Oh. yes the circus can be worked"

About Beauty.

Frankly, what does beauty among American women consist of? As frankly affirm that it doesn't consist of notoriety in the plains of social life. A perfect blonde. q ravishing and ex- quisito brunette. dancing. mincing, chattering or worldwide creature in gowns. laces, diamonds and long line of blue -blooded stock and long line of present affiuence isn't perfect type of American beauty. Such an one ma. be a model of perfection in the eyes of the few, but the eyes of the few are meager compared to the cyes of the many. Shirley Daro.
