'The We'll of English Indebted"

1t cannot be said too often that there is
no basis for the belief that somewhere there
exists a sublimated English language, per-
feet and impeccable. This is the fawless
ideal to which all artists in style strive
vainly to attain, whether they are English
men or Americans, Australians or Cana
dians, Irish or Scotch. But nowhere is this
speech without stain spoken by man in his
daily ife-not in London, where cockney-
isns abound; not in Oxford, where uni
versity slang is luxuriant and where pc
dantry tourishes. Nowhere has this pure
and indebted language ever been spoken
by any community Nowhere will it ever
be spoken other than by a few men here
and there gifted by nature or trained by
art.
The speech of the people in the mouth of
the scholar, that is tie absolute ideal which
no man can find by travel, and which every
man must make for himself by toll, avoid
ing alike the tendency of the people toward
slouching inaccuracy and the tendency of
the scholar toward academic frigidity. OF
the two the more wholesome leaning is
toward the forcible idioms of the plain
people rather than the tanner precision of
the student.
The wild flowers of speech, plucked be
times with the dew still on them, humble
and hOmely and touching, such as we find
in Franklin and in Emerson, in Lowell and
in Thoreau, are 10 be preferred infinitely
before the waxen petals of rhetoric as a
schoolmaster arranges them. - Brander

Treatment of Rinsworm.

The best treatment for inveterate ring
worm is to cut the hair short and deal
with small patch at time by means of
croton oil; but as undiluted crOtOn oil Is
very strong, no Impractical hand should
venture on its application. Next to this
comes, perhaps, three daily anointings
with compound citrine ointment. 1t some
times happens that eczema supervenes on
ringworm, and thus masks the original
disease. The eczema must be treated first,
and the ringworm dealt with afterward.
The ringworm is not really cured, but
only disguised by the supervening eczema.
1t happens also that ringworm is fol-
lowed by that disorder now called eczema

The Game of Siuggins.

The game of cards with which certain
watering places are amusing themselves
is constructed practically like the game
"muggins," which, played with dOmi-
noes, beguiled many an hour of the
youth of the present generation. But
there is refinement Of drollery added
to the present sport, a device of the
French players. a bit of burnt cork is
provided, and as often as player loses
a dainty spot of ebony is imprinted on
his or ner face The effect is sufficiently
ludicrous if the player be unlucky. The
sight of a grave and sedate elderly fe-
male with the tip Of her nose, the cor
ners of her mouth, her temples and her
cheeks touched with black is apt to be
sufficiently laughter provoking.
A little artistic skill il the use of the
burnt cork enables the marker complete
ly to change the expression of the face
upon which he is operating, and clever
touch Will sometimes alter the apparent
age Of a person by dozen years. OF
course the sport is not very dignifed,
but one may sometimes be merry at the
expense Of dignity, and at the seaside
many things are in order which would
not please in a more formal mode Of
life than that of the watering place, and
in any case no one is bound to try it who
does not choose. Courier.

How Hair Is Colored.

That the coloring matter OF the hair Is
situated sometimes in one part Of the shaft
and sometimes in another, and that one Of
the most common causes in the change OF
color is due to o5StrUcting the course ani
supply of pigment, are inferable from
consideration of the process by which the
hair is built up. Every hair consists of .
tube, more or less cylindrical, covered with
angular scales having their angles toward
the free extremity of the shaft. Each hair
is set more or less obliquely into follicle,
or skin sack, from one-half to one-quarter
of an inch in depth. This follicle being an
Unfold of the skin, is made up of three
layers or membranes, the middle one Of
which has free capillary circulation cor
responding to the corium of the skin.
Oil glands, simple or compound, which
lubricates the hair and scalp, open into the
follicle near it's outlet. Besides these, sweat
glands also open into the follicle. Extend
ing diagonally up from the lower part of
each foilicle to the outer skin are two series
of bands of muscular tissue, the erector
muscles of the hair. When these muscles
contract, each hair is elevated and the con-
tents of the follicle-the fluids at its base
and the contents of its sebaceous and sweat
SIdnuS-are squeezed OUT III proportion 10
the degree of contraction.
The root of each hair tube consists of an
ovoid enlargement resting upon a bulb
shaped cone called the paPilla which rises
from the base of the follicle. This modi-
fed form of the papill@ found over the en-
tire surface of the skin is highly vascular,
possessing network of capillaries within.
Each hair grows by the formation of new
cells at the bulb given off by the papilla,
which is made NJ for the most part of un-
developed indicated cells and free fibers.
The old cells are pressed upward and elon-
gated in the hair shaft by the formation of
new cells in the soft matrix of the papilla
The height of the papilla is about double
its breadth, and the upper portion is sup
posed to give the color cells to the hair
shaft.-HylandC c. Kirk in New York Times.
