All the ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure. etc, Of the hair
and had many superstitions founded ON
these old opinions. The early writer's
on the makeup Of the human body al
most invariably refer to the hair as be-
ing an excrement fed ON substances sim
liar to itself. They supposed that it
generated in the fuliginous parts Of
the blood; wal exhaled by the heat Of
the body, becoming firm and fbrous
upon being exposed to the air, just as
the fluid OF the spider web does. In
these days every idea respecting the
growth and character Of hair is
changed. II is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceivcs its nutriment from the body.
True. they take upon themselves the ma
lure Of parasitic plants; they grow as
vegetation does, yet each has, as It
were, a distinct life and economy.
That they derive their existence from
the juices Of the body there is no doubt.
but that food is not taken from the
nutritious juices, for we know that hair
will thrive oven though the body starve
o. be- wasted by disease, or even after
the animal life has ceased to exist in
the flesh OF akin to which they ere at

The Chcoky Drummer Catches T,ra Df-
vines on n Simple Proposition.
Abashod at nothing, a commercial
traveller in the south once propounded a
question TO a couple Of clorgymen,
whom he encountered on a railroad
train, which illustrates how easily a
man may be tripped on a simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into a conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men aud affairs. Gradually the top
les chan yed, until at last the talk was
Of DR.. ralmage and his visit to tho
Holy Land.
Speaking Of the Holy Land, " said
the graceless commercial man., II was
quite interested to read In a New York
paper recently that a party Of explorers
in Palestine had discovered a huge heap
Of bones. which, from their size and
quantity, r supposed to DO Of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found in a cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation"
"Indecdi'' replied ono Of the clergy
men, much interested. Il had not
heard of it. 1t is certainly a surpris-
ing discovery"
"Yos,'t continued the drummer,
land, oddly enough, while nearly half
Of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
Remarkable, " calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken, while
tho other looked at the drummer JUS
piciously.
"what is your theory7" be contin-
ued. DO you think it possible that
the bleached bones could DO of males
and the black of females?"
Possibly. " replied the more com
municative clergyman, Il am not an
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has.on the bone
Of the sexes"
"And you" persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is your opinion2
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That is
the problem that now exoites the dis
coverors. ~
Really" replied the other, Il don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be Of the male
children, and tho black Of the female. y
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. just as it was about moving off
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
tho hand Of u a card, upon which was
written the words:

Irory carvInr In chInn ana Japnn.

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
a probable one is hat a ball of ivory
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends of which four small holes were
carved out, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until the axis of
the one hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the cen
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and a thin layer of
ivory, forming a part of a circle from
n hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the next one, a complete inner
circle was eventually loosened, the cir.
