Some men of long experience of ele-

HAIR DYglNe AN ANCIENT ART.
From Cleopatra Down Women Have Re.
sortcd to tho Dangerous Practice.

From cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to tho Dangerous Practice.
The art of dyeing the hair is at least
as old us tho time of Christ. 1t was by
resortlng 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 atfix his name.
The belle of bellies in that day had red
hair-not bright red, but 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
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 q
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 or 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 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 a time
imparts an unnatural and wiglike luster
to the hair. more dangerous dye still
has for its 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 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 enfeeble and ultimately torot the root
sheaths. Badness then ensues, and for
that science has discovered no remedy

yowcls In the fiawniinn Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of novels and II few consonants
put i'll to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
''naauao," the glib native rolls ont the
five syllables with neatncss and Dispatch
This means ''enlighten.' Double VOW
els are very frequent, but never n diph-
thong. Three vowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by conso-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
a fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the CON
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar.
