A Plea for city Fairgrounds.

A Plea for City Fairgrounds.
These children are undoubtedly hap
Ply in their play, but | cannot watch
them without sadness and a regret
that the fuller pleasures of a country
life will never be theirs at the time
they are best fitted to enjoy them.
The earnest pleading for leaf or bios
som from the flowerladen tourist as,
returning from his outing, he passes
up this street; the eager band of merry
children in pursuit of wandering but
terhy-fairy-like visitor from astrange
land-tell of formless longing for the
unknown freedom of the woods and
fields. What can we do to add to the
joys OF youth which is all too brief?
As you enter your high-school, these
boys and girls enter on the serious
duties OF life. Then follows the strug-
gle for existence, and severe one it
usually is.
We cannot give all these children
homes in the country, we cannot give
them all even an outing there; but we
can give them Fairgrounds in the city;
a very little plot here and there will
do. We have reserved great parks
and squares which we permit them to
look at and sometimes to venture on.
But as Fairgrounds these are practical
ly useless; they are accessible to COM
paratively few. A vacant bujlding-lot
in the proper district is far more to the
purpose. Happy is the boy who lives
near onel Notice the evidences ofcon-
slant use it shows, the small baseball
diamond" clearly outlined, every
smooth place pitted with marble holes.
What better investment could our
cities make than to purchase small
plots like this at intervals throughout
the city, tear down the buildings, fill
up the cellars, and leave them, with no
forbidden sign, open to the children?
Their little feet would soon grade and
harden the ground. In giving the ma
TONS future workers such an oppor-
tunity to lay the foundation for
stronger and healthier bodies and
brighter wits, the city would reap
abundant interest on the capital ex-
pended.-St. Nicholas.

From Popular Science.


Neither differences of org anlzatiOn in
animals nor in the constitution of the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew for interpreting an exceptional
want of effect. Unaccountable is the
immunity of rabbits against belladonna
leaves (Ahopa bell0donna, deadly night
shaded. You may feed them with
belladonna for weeks without observ-
ing the least toxic symptoms. The
meat Of such animals, however, proves
poisonous to any one who eats it,
producing the same symptoms as the
plant. Pigeons and various other
herbivora are also to some degree safe
from the effects of this poison, while in
warm-hlOoded carnlvora it causes
paralysis and asphyxia. In frogs the
effect is a different one, consisting of
spasms. The meat of goats which had
fed on hemlock has sometimes occa-
stoned poisonous effects. Chickens are
nearly hardy against nuX yomica and
the extremely dangerous a}kaloid,
strychnine, contained in it, while in the
smallest amount it is a fatal poison to
rodents. More remarkable yet in this
respect is the immunity of Cb0E0eptS
Hobman7aj. kind of sIoth, living on the
island of Ceylon. which, when given ten
grains of strychnine. was not much
affected. Pigeons are possessed of high
immunity from morphine, the chief
alkaioid of opium, as well as from
belladonna. Eight grains were required
to kill pigeon, not much less than the
mortal dose for man. Cats are
extremely sensitive to foxglove dig
ijdjiS pupuredl, which on the contrary
may be given to rabbits and various
birds in pretty large doses.

Taking Out the Curls.
From a Boston Special.

The coIored women of this city have
learned that it is possible to take the
kink out of their hair, and there is
quite sensation over the new dlscOv
cry.
The idea was introduced by young
colored woman from Virginia. She her
self has glossy bang and back hair as
straight as that of the late Sitting Bull.
She SAYS her own hair was formerly
crisp and kinkv, but that an old Cana
dian woman told her how to make it
straight, and this information she is
now imparting for a consideration.
The customer is told first to wash her
hair, and come with it we'll dried. She
does SO, and then the operation begins.
A pre- paration that is amber-colored
and of the consistency of cream is taken
from a large jar and rubbed thoroughly
into the hair, and where it was entirely
lusterless before it begins to assume a
gloss. This is rubbed so thoroughly
into the scalp that none of the hairs can
fail to have received portion. Then
vigorous brushing is resorted to, and
the short hair begins to lengthen. If it
we're an inch long before, it is now fully
two inches long, and if before it had
been done up in what old-fashioned
Southern people term "plaits, it is now
ready to be rolled into loose twist or
loose coil at the back. The operation
takes about four hours, and is per-
manent In its effects. 1t gives the col
ored woman a very Indian-like appear
ance, and the few who will admit hav-
ing been treated claimed they did it
merely to make the labor of combing
their hair so much the easier One of
them said: Zone thing know, and that
is that it is terribly convenient to have
straight hair. | never before realized
what a blessing it was. Before, dread
ed the task Of combing it, and now |
don't mind it at all" Hair straighten-
ing promises to be the fad for the win
ter among the colored ladies of Boston.

Sitting Bulls Pride.

During visit of Sitting Bull and some
of his braves to Washington several
years ago it was decided to take photo
graph Of them in the Capitol The
photographer got his camera ready,
and the group was arranged. Several
of the Indians had on their hats, and
through one Of the interpreters the
photographer suggested that the picture
would look better with heads uncovered.
The Indians were loath to remove their
hats, but finally. after much persuasion,
they consented to appear in the picture
bareheaded Only Sitting Bull refused.
He had on tall silk hat of ancient date
probably 'of the vintage of '79''-and
he was evidently impressed with his
own appearance.
The photographer appealed to him,
through the interpreter, to remove the
hat, but Sitting Bull made no reply
He merely folded his arms, threw him
self 'back on his dignity" and struck a
heroic attitude. He presented most
ludicrous appearance, but he swelled
with evident pride and dignity, and said
not q word. The photographer saw it
was useless, and so the picture was
taken. In the group of forty or fifty
Indians there appeared only one with
covered head. That one was the old
chief. Sitting Bull.
