FACTS ABOUT GRAY HAIR.

Many persons begin to show gray
hairs while they are yet in their TWEEN
ties and some while IN their teens.
This does not by any means argue q
premature decay of the constitution.
1t is purely local phenomenon and
may co-exist with unusual bodily vigor.
Many feeble persons and others who
have suffered extremely. both mentally
and physically, do not blanch hair
until past middle age, while others.
without assignable cause, lose their
capillary coloring matter rapidly when
about 40 years OF age.
Race has . marked influence. The
traveller DR.. d'Aubigny says that In
many years he spent IN South America
he never saw bald Indian and scarcely
gray-haired one.
In the United States sex appears to
make little difference. Men and
women grow gray about the same
period in life.
In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one Is usually
darker than the other for several yeare,
but there seems to be no general rule
as to which whitens the first.
The spot where grayness begins diff.
fers with the individual. The philoeo.
pher Schopenhauer began to turn gray
on the temples, and consequently
framed theory that this is an lndica-
ton OF great mental activity.

MRS. oLADsTONE's GOOD WORK

During the cholera which visited
England in 1866 Mrs. Gladstone came
IN contact with the victims of the epi-
demic in her regular visit to the Lon
don hospital. Whole families were
brought in together, some to die, others
to recover; parents dying and leaving
their children behind them frlendless
and helpless. Mira. Gladstone came
to their aid and carried away the poor
little things virtually IN her arms. Mrs.
Gladstone at that time took An empty
house at Clapton, where she lodged
her orphans. She then set about get
ting money 70 provide for their need 9
and that of other cholera patients.
She wrote to the Times asking sub-
scriptione for this object. which was
heartily responded to, and f25 900 was
sent to her. with which she was able to
keep her little orphans in comfort.
And one who cav the eight when she
accompanied Mrs. Gladstone in Clap
ton says she can never forget 1t. Az
SOON as the door was opened she was
surrounded by the children, who chung

their eagerness to he near one they
