Enect of Cold and Aecident ON Ha,,

Eject of Cold and Accident ON Hair.
Arctic voyagers and other travellers in
frigid regions have frequently been sub
ject to canities as the effect of cold, a
circumstance quite in keeping with the
fact that animals, such as the bear, fox
and lemming, inhabitants of the ex-
treme north, have hirsute coverings of
white. The writer was once acquainted
with a man named Sweeny, formerly a
sailor, whose hair was jet black except a
snow white tuft about the middle of the
frontal suture, where the scalp had been
taken off through fall from mast on
shipboard. Where burns and severe
local infammations have resulted in a
loss of a portion of the scalp, the injured
part has similarly been covered in many
cases with growth of white hair

Injurious Mixtures.

The iodide of potassium is quite con-
stant ingredient of sarsaparilla mixtures,
which are vaunted to be "blood puri-
fiers, y tonics, etc. This agent is harm
less when rightly used, but it is capable
of doing grievous injury. One of its
baneful effects is inflammation of the
kidneys. If they are weak or deranged
small doses of the iodide are likely to
produce the effect stated, and many per-
sons kidneys are so affected without the
fact being known. Hence, preparations
of the class mentioned should be held as
unsafe for general use.-Hall's Journal

GREEN'S FARMS.

The first anniversary of the Y. 2. S.
G. E. was celebrated, Monday evening.
Representatives were present from Green
field Hill, Southport, Cross Highway and
Westport to show their sympathy with
the society and work in this place. The
meeting was one of great interest. Mr.
Warner, first president of the Bridgeport
Union, brought words of congratulation
to this society and spoke in the course of
his remarks of the rapid growth of the
society and it's effect upon the character
of the young people of America. He
said as flower was the outgrowth of all
the life germ within it, so this society
had been the means of bringing out the
latent talent of the churches. But the
main interest of the gathering centered
around the addresses delivered on the
word s'pledge." The nature of the pledge
was clearly explained by Mr. Warner, who
said that it was bad one. He preferred
the word covenant, which was truer to
the facts. Rev j. Backus of Westport
spoke upon the way the pledge worked
in the meetings of the society. He show
ed how it secured attendance, stimulated
preparation and guaranteed interest in
what one speaker called the dullest meet
ing Of the parish, the prayer meeting.
Rev Mr. Davies, in the absence of Rev DIR
Plumley, spoke upon the relation of
the pledge to life. He showed that the
pledge assisted the character of every
man by bringing him into contact with
the best literature the world has produce
ed; that it brought the forces of eternity
to bear upon the active duties of the
world and that it carried men out Of
themselves into society for certain def
mite ends. Character built upon the ten
Commandments, the Sermon on the
Mount and upon the panegyric of love
given by Paul was likely to be higher
than that produced upon the sop of in
sipid novels or upon the sensational pulp
of the Police Gazette. There was a short

M. w. Wilson that the votes passed at
the previous meeting be re-
scinded and sthat the sum of $4,000
be appropriated in grading, draining and
improving the road from the Fairfield
line to the Saugatuck river at the West
port bridge. Several resolutions and
amendments were tried, but all failed
and the original resolution was carried.
Some thought that the town was ex-
pending money too fast, while others adj
vocated larger appropriation as neces-
sary for the satisfactory completion of
so long a stretch of road. The subscrib-
ers feel that the action of the meeting
was not in accordance with the object to
which they subscribed, therefore their
subscriptions will become void.
