Hair Parted tn the Middle.

The foreman Of one of the largest
barber shops in New York is authority
for the statement that the number Of
men who part their hair in the middle
is increasing every day. The fashion
has grown, according to this expert in
the matter of dressing hair. so rapidly
that it would not be out of the. way to
say that fully half the men who form
erly derided this once muoh-condemned
fashion are gradually getting around
to it. They begin" said the barber
Yesterday, ''by parting the hair a little
higher up on the head by degrees until
they finally get it exactly in the center.
l remember very well when it was a
rare thing for a man to part his hair
directly over the nose. but all of the
contempt and fun which such a pro-
ceeding evoked are now replaced by
indifference as far as the public is con-
cerned. Twenty years ago a politician
who parted his hair in the middle
courted disaster at the polls. Now no
end of statesmen, prominent. or other
wise, wear their hair in a dandihed
fashion, and it does not even call forth
a remark. The only thing that the
rank and file streuuousiy and positive
" object to is a masculine bang. They
won't have that at any price."-M z.

Architecture in California.

The Americans have not the art OF
making houses or a land picturesque.
The traveller is enthusiastic about the
exquisite drives though these groves
of fruit. with the ashy or the snow
covered hills for background and con
trast, and he exclaims at the pretty
cottages, vine and rose clad, in their
semi-tropical setting. but if by chance
he comes upon an old adobe or a
Mexican ranch house in the country,
he has emotions of a different sort.
There is little left of the old Spanish
occupation. but the remains of it make
the romance of the country, and an
peal to our of fitness and beauty.
It is to be hoped that all such histor-
ical associations will be preserved, for
they give to the traveller that which
our country generally lacks, and
which is so largely the attraction of
Italy and Spain. Instead of adapting
and modifying the houses and homes
that the climate suggests. the new
American corners have brought here
from the East the smartness and
prettiness of our modern nondescript
architecture. The low house with re-
cesses and galleries. built round an in
ner court. or patio, which however
small, would fill the whole interior
with sunshine and the scent of flowers,
is the sort of dwelling that would suit
the climate and the habit of life here.
But the present occupiers have taken
no hints from the natives. In village
and country they have done all they
can, in spite of the maguey and the
cactus and the palm and the umbrella
tree and the liye-oak aud the riotous
flowers and the thousand novel forms
OF vegetation, to give everything a
prosaic look. But why should the
tourist find fault with this? The
American likes it. aud he would not like
the picturesqueness of the Spanish or
the Latin races.-Char7es Dudleu
Warner, IN Ha,per's Magdzine.

The Human Face.

The two sides of the human face are
not exactly alike; a German biologist
asserts that the lack of symmetry. as a
rule, is confined to the upper side of
the face; in two cases out of five the
eyes are out of line, and even persons
out of ten have stronger sight in one
eye than the other. Another singular
fact is that the right a is almost uni
yersally shorter than the left.
