The Truth About the Unicorn.

In Curious Creatures in Zoology" by
John Ashton, the unicorn familiar to
most people from the bottom of plates,
where it is represented as conducting a
perpetual clothes line fight with the
lion, gets a good deal of notoriety, and
travellers have sworn up hill and down
dale that they have seen it, and that it
looked something like horse with a
long twisted horn coming out of the
middle of his forehead. The horn was
sure antidote to poison, and Queen
Elizabeth had one that was valued at
what would now be about $3.50, ,000 OF
course it was the horn of a narwal, and
they got the story mixed with the rhi-
noceros, which, according to the old cir
Gus story, is an expensive animal, cost
ing piles and piles of money.-Chicago
Tribune.

Difference in Hair.

The difference between straight and
curly hair is very apparent on a micro
scopical examination A hair is a hol-
low tube, and straight hair is as sound
as reed, while curly hair is always
fattened on both sides and curls toward
one of the fiat sides, and never toward
the edge. 1t is curious and little
known fact that the hair of women is
coarser than that of men as well as
thicker on the scalp. In an average
head of hair there are about 10000 in
dividual hairs. The hair seems to have
a life of its own, independent of that of
the man, for numerous instances are
known of the hair continuing to grow
after death. In one of the st. Louis
cemeteries a body of lady was some
years ago disinterred for the purpose of
removing it elsewhere. When the coffin
was opened the entire cavity was filed
with a mass OF auburn hair which had
grown after the interment had taken
place.-Interview in st. Louis Globe
Democrat

Views on Anasthetics.

DIR. Horatio Wood shows by charts
and the results of experiments that, con-
trary TO the general belief, chloroform
kills by paralyZing the respiration as
well as the heart, and that ether kills by
paralyzing the heart before respiration
has ceased. He regards nitrous oxide as
the safest anasthetic-only one death
having occurred out of $4,000 admins
trations. Ether is probably safer than
chloroform in the ratio of one to three
or one to five, and the best method of
administering it is to use the inhaler
made of cloth stretched across the wire
frame which is surrounded by rubber or
leather.
Plenty of fresh air should be mixed
with the ether Chloroform is probably
more fatal on account of its greater
specific gravity. 1t lies in the lungs and
mixes slowly with the air, completely
poisoning the nerve centers before oxy-
gen can gain admission to the blood. 1t
is less dangerous in hot climates, where
it is more readily volatilized. Ether is
more volatile and therefore less danger
ous.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Variations of the Commas.

Why the magnetic needle points north
ward has never been satisfactorily de-
termined, but what perplexes and puz
zles scientists most is its persistent varia-
tions. By observations in Paris it was
found that in 1851 the magnetic needle
varied , degs. and 80 minis. to the west
in 1865, less than 200 years later, IS degs.
and 80 minis. to the west. In London,
between 1880 and 1892, the needle varied
from 10 degs. Is minis. east TO degs.
west. In Dakota the average variation
is Is degs. and 80 minis. east; in Mime
sofa II degs. east, while in Montana it
it is 90 degs. east. 1t does not point due
north except in few localities, and at
no place does it continue to point with
given angular distance from the north
for any stated length of time.
In many places it changes secularly,
annually, diurnally and hourly, and is,
besides, further subject to fluctuations
reducible to no method of tabulation.
In the vicinity of iron in any shape, OF
of magnetic sands, it is DETECTED toward
the material attracting it. The needle
has been known to vary degs. in dis
tance of one mile, and deg. and 80
minis. in two hours when left stationary
in certain locality.-St. Louis Re
public.

it's lonely for young man. It isn't like

''There's not fruit there fit to eat

they're woolly."
"Yes, the grapes have few hairs on
them, and they taste queer" admitted
Mr.. Boag. ''They have tried apples and

A Proud and Happy Girl.

A customer waiting for change at one
of the large dry goods shops on the day
before Thanksgiving exchanged few
words with the saleswoman who served
her upon the subject of the coming holi-
day. The girl had a bright, attractive
face, and did not look to be over IS years
Of age. Her eyes sparkled as she said
animatedly: "Well, I've got something
to be thankful for this year that haven't
had for four years. I've got home
now. No, don't mean I'm married, -
she went on, answering the look in her
listeners face. "but I've got home
again. When my father died four years
ago my mother was sick, too, and was
in the hospital a long time, and my lit
tie brothers and sisters were at the
