When Wigs We're PopuIar.

Writers transmit to us some curious
facts in regard to the demand and sup
ply of false hair when wigs were in
fashion. The trade in wigs, for France
supplied all the rest Of Europe, became
immense, and was represented in Paris
by a large number of wholesale mer-
chants, who employed cutters to operate
in the provinces, especially in Normandy,
Flanders and Holland, where the hair Of
the women was finer. The hair of warm
countries was not wanted, because too
coarse. English women and girls did
not care to part with their hair, and
were not so poor as to be forced to the
sacrifice. Some villages in Normandy
furnished as much as ten pounds, aver
aging two feet in length.
The price was from four to five francs
pound, and it was cut from the heads
of the living, from the heads of the
dead or sewed after combing, each kind
having its commercial name. The great
demand at last rendered the supply so
scarce that horsehair had to be used in
stead or in part.-Cincinnati CONNER

Peculiar Roses.

One of the wars of the roses, the ferc-
est and deadhest of them all, was fought
on a field where, curiously enough, a
rose peculiar to the spot grows or used
to grow. 1t is rare plant now, and the
reason is explained by Mr.. Leadman in
his account of Yorkshire battles. After
describing the terrible battle at Towton
on Palm Sunday, 1861, he says: 81 can
not conclude this story of Towton field
without an allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the Field of the
White Rose and the Red
'They are said to have been plentiful
at the commencement Of this century,
but the visitors have taken them away
in such numbers that they have become
rare. Such vandalism is simply shame
full, for the plants are said to be unique
and unable to exist in any other soil.
The little roses are white, with a red
spot on the center of each of their petals,
and as they grow old the under surface
becomes dull red color. "-London

The rev Club Member.

I read conscientiously Sunday after
noon at the club the weekly rules and
regulations laid down in the newspapers
concerning the details of life, that !
might regulate my behavior thereby;
and I notice that ''initials are not con-

larly interest me, as | have for years

Plants with Poisonous odors.

There are few flowers whose perfume e
actually deadly. The flowers Of the kali
mujah, or death plant found in the islands
of Java and Sumatra, emit perfume SC
powerful as to overcome, IL inhaled for any
length of time, full grown man and kill
ing all forms of insect life approaching it.
This perfume resembles chlorofofm in
effect. producing insensibility and convuls-
ing the muscles of the face, especially
those about the mouth and eyes. All in
sects and birds seem instinctively to avoid
the plant, but when accidentally approach
ing it they have been seen TO drop 70 the
earth, even when as far off as three feet.
Liuneus mentions a case In which the
odor of the rose bay proved fatal, and there
is a flower known TO the Persians as kerr
zerch, the perfume Of which they believe
will kill a man if he inhales it after a hot
south wind has passed over its blossoms.
Many other plants, though not having
deadly perfumes, nevertheless give forth
odors which are decidedly hurtful. The
poedaria foetida excites fever and head
aches in those iuhaling it. One OF the
magnolias emits an odor which produces
in many persons nausea and sickness. and
the poison sumsch ard poison logwood are
apt to lead to similarly unpleasant effectss

Explaining a Shower of Blood.

No phenomena of nature have excited
more widespread CONSERVATION in an
Gent and even in comparatively modern
times than the so called rains Of blood,
stones, fishes and reptiles.
The peoples of antiquity regarded such
occurrences as dire warnings and por-
tends, and at the present day their occa-
sional happenings gives rise to much
wonder and actual fear. Nevertheless,
science has been able to ascertain the
causes which produce these remarkable
precipitations, which are accounted for
by reasons entirely commonplace.
In 1870 a train Of blood" fell at The
Hague. The citizens got up in the morn
ing and found that shower of crimson
fluid had fallen during the night. There
was great excitement and the occurrence
was looked upon as foretelling approach
ing war. One level headed physician
got little of the strange water from
one of the canals and examined it under
microscope. He found that the fluid
had not really red color, but was sim
ply filed with swarms of small crimson
animalcules.
Further investigation showed these
animalcules to be a species of water flea
with branching horns. Presumably they
were brought from great distance by
wind and deposited with the rain. How
ever, Notwithstanding this explanation,
the Hollanders persisted in regarding
this affair from superstitious point OF
view, and many declared afterward that
it was an omen giving warning of the
desolation which was subsequently
brought into the country with fire and
sword by Louis XIV.-Washington Star.
