Curiosities OF Shaving.

A volume might be written on the GU
riosities of shaving. Partic llarly inter-
esting would be an historical inquiry
into the origin Of the custom Of shaving
the head.
1t was not until the Fifth century that
in Europe priests began to shave their
The Roman clergy then adopted
the circular method, and shaved that
small round spot on the top Of the head
which is known as the tonsure.
In Scotland, however, the monks shaved
the whole of the fore part of the head
from ear TO ear. In the And man Islands
every man shaves his head, or rather, gets
his wife to shave it for him.
Many other Orientals also get bald
headed. The English used TO do so in the
last century, and by a strange piece of
contrariness wore artificial wigs to cover
their badness.
AS for the Chinaman, his method Of
shaving is exactly opposed TO that OF the
Roman monk. He ST ayes all but a round
patch, the hair Of which grows long, and
forms the pig-tail.
When the difficulty ofshaving the head
is borne in mind, the true strangeness OF
the custom becomes doubly apparent. 1t
Is hard TO see the advantage OF 1T, yet in
one form or another, and at one time or
other, it has been practiced in nearly
every country.-Yankee Blade.

WHAT IS Sleep
Scientists Unable 10 Agree on the Ques-
ton.

ton.
II seems n somewhat startling fact that
at this late day philosophers should be
discussing the question, "What is sleepg"
and should announce entirely new views
and ideas on the subject. The human
race has been sleeping nearly two-thirds
of its time for the past 100, 1000 or 100000
years, and has certainly had enough ex-
perience with it, but it would seem that
we do not fully understand the matter,
do not quite know what sleep is, how ii
comes about or even its effect.
One thing, however, is accepted as
proved-that the condition OF the blood
vessels Of the brain, and, indeed, of such
tissue as the optic disc, is an anemic one
in sleep. As drowsiness comes on the
surface of the brain grows paler in color
and the lack OF red blood is noticeable
when such conditions are observed. The
theory OF DR.. James Capple, OF Edin-
burgh, and some other eminent scientists
has been TO the effect that the veins Of the
pia mater, the inner membrane OF the
skull, are capable of congesting and dis
persing comparatively large quantities OF
blood; that congestion produces vertigo
and :" senselessness or stupor, and that
the dispersion of blood from the brain
cells produces a slight compression on
the surface OF the brain and thus brings
about sleep. The brain being less active
the circulation of blood to the brain is
supposed by this theory to be diminished,
and as the blood in the brain cells has
passed into the veins the effect will be to
cause a slight yielding in the brain and a
pressure upon 10.
And now comes forward a great Ger
man scientist, Herr Rosenbsum, with an
entirely new and original proposition
that the anamic condition of the brain
is due to an excess OF water in the cells Of
that body, a sort OF water on the brain.
Sleep, according TO his theory, is es-
pecially a matter of nervous action-the
fatigue of the nerve cells which COM
municate with the heart and bring about
a change in the circulation. The nervous
cells are full Of water hen sleep comes
on, which, during sleep passes into the
venous blood as waste, while the nerve
cells receive nourishment from fresh
~arterisl blood.
When the process is entirely over the
sleeper awakes, unless he is disturbed
sooner. According TO Rosenb aum's
theory sleep Is not only healthy because
OF the rest IL gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. Those
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an overworked
and fatigued mind or body will be sur
prised to learn that the scientists are di-
vidcd in opinion as TO whether IL Is
pressure on the brain, similar to vertigo
and other attacks which produce uncon-
sciousncss, or n mild form Of hydroceph-
alus.-New Orleans Times-Domocrst.

Tad Lincoln and IA Soldier.

OF all the children who lived in the
White House none has been the object of
greater affection from the American peo-
pie than Tad, the favorIte son OF Presi-
dent Lincoln, whose early death was the
greatest sorrow of his fathers life. Tad
won the goodwill OF everybody by his
ready sympathy with all classes and con-
ditions of people. One story of him is 10
the effect that he ono noticed n wounded
soldier hanging about tho gates OF the
Executive Mansion, hoping to sec the
President, TO whom access was denied, 1t
having been given out that no soldiers
were to be discharged on any account.
This veteran believed that he would not
recover, and was anxious 10 see his fam
lily before he died. Tad saw him, and on
learning what was the matter, led him
into the Executive Mansion. They were
stopped by n sentinel at the door OF the
Presidents Office, but Tad shouted in his
loudcst boyish voice,
Father, let me and my friend inl"
Mr.. Lincoln never could deny Ted any
thing even when he was most busy, aud

Lincoln Immediately wrote out an hon

the HAWAIIAN MATTER.
Hot Feeling at Washington Owe
England's Interference.
THE QUESTION OF ANNEXATION.
a Vital Point to be Decided Upon Imme-
diateIy-England Cannot Have Every
thing in the World, and the Island
Must Come Under the Eagles Wing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. There are indi-
cations that any intervention OF Great
Britain in the Hawaiian matter would
solidify the two parties in Congress in
support Of the policy OF the administra-
ton.
There is a very resentful feeling THAT
Great Britain should have indicated a
disposition to intervene. One hears NUT
terings on every hand, and in both
parties, that the British government is
eager to grasp every possession within
her reach, and that England now pro-
poses to prevent the United States from
acceding to the request OF the Hawaiian
Islands for annexation.
England has just stolen the Gilbert
Islands and she Is trying TO steal Egypt.
She is dividing up the islands of the
South Sea with Germany, without asking
the consent OF other nations, and now
seeks by bullying and threats 10 alarm
the United States, so hat Hawaii shall
become.a British dependency and not a
territory OF this Republic.
III Great Britain shall succeed in so
shaping the issues here that the Con-
gress snail become convinced that IL will
toe called upon to decide only whether
the Hawaiian Islands shall become a Brit
ish possession or n part OF the United
States, il Is quite possible that the repre-
sentatives OF the two parties in Congress
will unite to decide that beyond our
borders there IL but one party in this
Republic. that the Monroe doctrine shall
be extended to the Pacific ocean and that
no party in the United States will con
sent TO surrender to the bullying de-
mands OF Great Britain or to yield those
fair provinces in the Pacific TO her cor
mOrant grasp.
