almost total destruction. In Republic

line. the hot winds have prevailed for three
days, causing vegetation TO dry up rapidly.
The corn crop is already badly injured, and

Early Ideas About Hair.

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 writers
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; was 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. It is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutriment from the body.
True. they take upon themselves the ma
ture 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 even though the body starve
Or be wasted by disease, OR even after
the animal life has ceased to exist in
the flesh or skin to which they are at
tached.-Chicago Tribune.

Reynolds Painting Siddons.

Some of Reynolds methods were Pc
culiar. He usually painted his sitters
from their reflection in mirror and
not from direct view. He always re-
manned standing while at work, and he
rarely signed portrait.
One notable exception, however, was
made in the case of his magnificent por
trait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic
Muse, which was painted when the
master was 60 years old and when Mrs.
Siddons was 90. The great actress, fail
ing at first to recognize a sort Of en-
broidery which the artist had added to
the edge of her robe, soon perceived that
it contained the words, Joshua Rey-

terity on the hem of her garment! Be-
fore commencing this picture the ar
