Indian Coronets.

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case Of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as a ground for her suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ny orientals and go home with them.
AS a usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is a picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries a
pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the orr
entails have many amiable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
if the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties Of his child
hood his wife must conform to a certain
extent to the ordinary life of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this so far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked on with GOODNESS and
suspicion by them.-New York World.

The SUMS Fire.

How was heat originally impaired to
our great luminary? Was he "born in
fire" and has he been in an active state
of combustion since the day of his birth,
or was he once ''a darksome body, fit
ting hither and thither and yet going
nowhere in particular"
If once mighty planet of somber hue,
why is he now the torchlight as well as
the heating apparatus of great system
of worlds, and, being both, who is equal
to the task of calculating even the cycle
Of time wherein the great change took
place? It may have been that there were
no worlds in what is now the solar sys-
tenn prior to that time, or, if there were,
probably only two.
These two black giants Of this dark
ened portion of the great universe may
have collided and coalesced into vast
nebula, from whence the whole of our
system has been evolved. If light and
heat were thus mechanically produced
and still retained to a certain degree in
our sun, the largest fragment Of the two
eelliding worlds, is it not altogether like
ly that the great solar fires will finally
burn out and that as result man and
all living creatures will become extinct
on all of the inhabited planets?-St. Louis

HAIR DYElNG f. ANCIENT ART.
From Cleopatra : w. Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.

From Cleopatra ~ = Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.
The art of dyeing the hair is at least
hs old as the time of Christ. It was by
resorting to such aids to beauty that Gle
opatra tried to capture Caesar. All
through history ladies of fashion have
tried to improve upon nature by artifi-
cially coloring that which st. Paul tells
us is their glory.
In the heyday of Venice the facile
beauties of the city of the lagoons dyed
| their hair red, to which Titan was not
| ashamed to affix his name.
The belle of bellies in that day had red
hair-not bright red, but a dull red
with glints Of crimson. More recently
almost in our own time-a rage arose for
bright blond hair, as to which there was
a tradition that it had been popular with
the Greek hetairae.
Blond heads blocked the thorough
fares, and young ladies of good repute
did not disdain to employ the dyer until
his services were monopolized by another
class. In our day the popular color is
bright shade Of auburn-the blond cen
Dire of the boulevards-an silly girls go
through martyrdom to impart that tint
to their locks. For the popularity of
blond hair the argonaut finds this ex-
cuse, that it is rarer than black OF brown
hair and finer. Everybody knows that
the legend Of the golden fleece was sug-
gested by the ardor with which Jason
and other Greek connoisseurs pursued
the blond haired maidens Of Colchis.
Almost all hair dyes consist of sulphur
and acetate of lead, both of which are
injurious to so delicate a plant as human
hair. A steady course of either will i'm
pair the vitality of the hair papilla and
may destroy the medulla altogether.
Women who bleach their hair use per-
oxide of hydrogen, which after time
imparts an unnatural and wiglike ulster
to the hair. A more dangerous dye still
has for it's basis nitrate of silver.
When this is used. the hair is first
washed with sulphuret of potassium.
The nitrate is applied while it is still
wet. In all these cases the drug is adul
terated with a pigment Of the desired
color, and the effect for the time is to
substitute that color for the natural hue
of the cortical substance or hair bark.
1t need hardly be said that the effect of
continued use of such indictments is
to enfecble aud ultimately to rot the root
sheaths. Badness then ensues, and for
that science has discovered no remedy

Calling Smith.

Miss Kate Field relates an experience
which she had in trying to sleep in q
hotel in a Utah mining town where the
partitions between the rooms were Of
boards merely and quite innocent of
lath and plaster. The ordinary going
and coming Of the early part of the night
were bad enough, but toward morning,
when at last she had fallen asleep, a loud
voice shouted from her keyhole:
"Smith! Smith,
AS her name was not Smith, she made
no response.
Smith, came the shout again. fsIt's
time to skip!"
.sMy name is not Smith," she then an
swefed.
From across the hall came the call of
the day clerk, who occupied the room
there:
mo. That amt Smith. Smiths at
the end of the hail.
'Well, this is the end of the hail.,
came from the neighborhood of the key
hole again. 1t was the voice of the por-
ter.
'sAren't there two ends to the hall?
It's the other end, you blockhead.H
"Who wants SMITH" came sharp
voice from the distance. 'sI'm Smith,"
"What's the matter? I'm Smith, !"
came still another voice.
"Well, whichever Smith wants to get
up at o'clock, him's the one," growled
the porter.
Both these Smiths slammed their doors
with vehement protestation that they
didn't want to get up.
'.It's Smith in No. 1r' screamed the
day clerk,
The right Smith had not been walked
at all, SO the porter found No. and
pounded on the door so hard that every
body in the house who had not already
been walked was aroused, and several
people rushed out into the hall, thinking
there was fire,
The porter went down complaeently
to the Office on the floor below.
"Well," said he to the night clerk, 81
walked him up anyhow"

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal a Me-
cessity of Their Miserable Existence.
"Without dogs the larger portion Of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America would
find it impossible to exist in its chosen
home" So writes E. W. Nelson in his
mammals of Northern Alaska They
are used in the winter for hunting,
sledge drawing and the like, but in sum-
mer are mostly left to shift for them
selves. They receive much hard usage,
as well as do much hard work, but are
described nevertheless as a rollicking
set, full Of play, fond of human society
and quarrelsome as schoolboys.
Mr.. Nelson credits them with vein OF
humor and declares that their varying
characteristics can be read in their faces.
They are worth from So to SIS apiece, &C
cording to age, size and intelligence.
For sledge drawing they are harnessed
in teams of either seven or nine-three
OF four pairs and a leader. The load is
from 35l0o 700 pounds, and the courseis
mainly through unbroken snow or over
rough ice. With a team of seven dogs
dIu q 1Oetu VI IuOI0 Ludu COO pOuuuS ulIs
Nelson made a journey Of more than
1900 miles in about two months. The
last 60 miles were made over bad road
in continuous pull of 81 hours. They
are much affected by the moon. During
full moon half the night is spent by them
in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chael's," says Mr.. Nelson, eve were inva-
riably given chorus every moonlight
night, and the dogs of two neighboring
villages joined in the serenade." He
speaks Of its "wild, weird harmony"
and seems to have found it agreeable
rather than otherwise. The influence of
the moon is also very apparent when the
dogs are travelling. They brighten up
as the moon rises, and pricking up their
ears start off as if they had forgotten
their fatigue. The fur traders take adj
vantage of this fact and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at night.
The dogs endure an astonishing degree
of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw female with
two newly born puppies lying upon the
snow near hut, with no sign of shelter,
when the thermometer ranged from 80
to IS degrees below zero.

Reflected Light.

A dead white surface has decided ad-
vantages for rejecting light over a look
ing glass or bright surface. Good
white blotting paper reflects back 50
per cent of the light cast upon it. Many
persons are under the impression that
looking glass must be better reflector
than paper or whitewashed surface be-
cause with looking glass strong shad-
ow can be cast, while from a dead sur
face no heavy shadow is obtained.
The reason is not SO much that the re-
fected light is less from the dead sur
face, but that the reflection is concen-
trated in the case of the looking glass.
With paper or whitewash it proceeds
from vast number of points. -Brook-

A Curious Parasite.

It is an old saying that every dog has
his day. According to an English au-
thority, that day is neither very long nor
specially comfortable in FIJI. 1t is i'm
possible to keep foreign dogs alive for
much more than couple of years. Those
born there may live four years. The
cause Of this mortality is a species Of
worm that lives in the blood vessels, ar
teries and heart. Adult specimens Of
this parasite sometimes measure as much
as five inches, and the blood Of some an
imals is actually swarming with them.
Puppies are often troubled with them,
although it seems to take about six
months to develop them to troublesome
stage. When dog is attacked, it begins
with a sharp barking, which is at once
recognized as the beginning of poor Fido's
last chapter. Thus far no remedy has
been found or even suggested. The same
parasite is found in dogs in eastern Asia,
and identical symptoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two years
after the first indications are Observed

A sPY,S CLOSE CALL.

he Was Rescued From Impending Death
by Clever Newspaper Russo.
On the battlefield of Antietam Mr.. Nc
Clure met General William J. Palmer,
then captain, and strongly urged him
not to continue his movements as a spy
after Lee had crossed into Virginia, but
the gallant young soldier gave no prom
Use as to what he would be likely to do,
and the very first night after Lee crossed
the Potomac he was again in Lees camp
and brought back important information
to General Mcclellan.
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after a week it was assumed that
he had been captured and would proba-
bly, be executed as a spy. He had been
captured, was tried and condemned as
spy and sentenced to be executed, but he
was saved by clever newspaper device
determined upon after a conference in
this city between President J. Edgar
Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Colonel Scott and Mr.. Mcclure. Thorn
son took special interest in Palmer, as he
had been his secretary, and was much at
tached to him.
It was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of the
Philadelphia morning papers an-ounc-
ing the arrival at the capital Of Captain
William J. Palmer, stating in what par
ticular lines of the enemy he had oper-
ated, and adding that he had brought
much important information that could
not be given to the public at the time.
These dispatches appeared next morning
in all the Philadelphia papers, promi-
nently displayed, and of course reached
the southern lines within 48 hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended. In a little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there was a
vacancy made in the list of the exchanged
men by death. Palmer's friends had
him take the place and name Of the dead
soldier, and he thus escaped and returned
to the service.-Philadelph Times.
