Some change in the method of illuminat'
ing mail cars Is demanded not only on the
grounds of humanity but business - WELL
Now oil is used in lighting the mail cars
and many of the accidents occurring in the
service the past year are due to this fact.
More than fifty instances are mentioned
where the mails were injured or destroyed
by the use of the oil and consequent con-
aapratious, Several lives were lost.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con.
troll Of the nerve centers, located In or near
the base Of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t Is re.
membered that a serious Injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, It will be understood how
the derangement Of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirdS OF chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
the base OF the brain. not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ It
treating these diseases Is that they treat the

Hair and Complexion.

It is often interesting to see the pranks
that are played by nature in the mat
ter of hair and complexion. It is not
unusual to find a blond complexion
with black hair, and l have seen sever
al cases cf mismated eyes. one of them
blue and the other black. That phe-
nomenon, too, have seen in cats. Ne
groes are occasionally found with light
patches on their skins, and mulattoes
sometimes have patches of clear white.
Barnums leopard child was an illus
tration of this freak. Cases where the
hair whitens irregularly are common
enough.
Whistler, the artist and scold, has
little white toplnot that he calls his
plume, and / met a man in Paris who
was black, as to hair, on one side Of his
head and white on the other, the di-
viding line running down the middle
of his face, SO that half Of his hair, one
eyebrow, one lot of eyelashes, one mus
tache and the half of his beard were
black, the corresponding side being
white Hair of two other colors is also
found and l occasionally see man on
Fulton street whose hair is brown ex-
cept at the back Of his neck, where it

have met has brown hair with little
tufts of red sprinkled through it. But

inexpensive Pleasures.

The comparatively cheap pleasures
seem to be the best in life generally.
There is so little that the very rich can
in people who are just comfortably off.
Warmth is such delightful thing in
winter, but you and can get as much
as we want of it, and millionaire can
have no more. And then there are SO
many cheap ordinary things to eat that
are just as good as or better than the
expensive things. An epicure who lives
somewhere in the western part of this
state was saying the other day that, hav-
ing a particular dinner in view, he
sent to judicious man in New York
for the best fish that the market offered.
They sent him fresh cod and he ad-
mitted that no fish could be better, and
moralized-those are his remarks above
on the comparative cheapness of the
heshly qualifications that were really
best, such as potatoes and chickens and
fresh air and tea and water. warm and
cold and soap and sleep.
When one considers how good big
cent sandwich tastes when he is really
hungry, and what a poor thing So
dinner is when he is not, and how little
difference there is between good wine
and good water when it has once passed
one's gullet, and how much of that
difference is in favor of the water, it
really lends dangerous charm to econ
omy and simple living, and makes one
wonder that thrift is not more catch
ing, and that the delights of avarice
should be SO generally monopolized by
the aged.-Harper Weekly.

The passion for shopping is strong
one in the breast of the average Ameri-
can woman. and now that the perpetual
variety show idea has taken root in this
town we are likely to see even more
widely developed cases of shopping
mania than heretofore. Formerly the
time always came when even the most
rabid shopper was obliged to go home
and rest and change the current of her
ideas. Now, when she gets tired after
a four hours struggle at the bargain
counters, she can wander into conven-
lent theater, get cup of tea for 5
cents, write letters or kilograms, do
little sewing, have the use of powder
boxes, hairpins, curling irons and slip
pers, and rest for as many hours as she
wishes in the seclusion of the dressing
room set aside for that purpose. Then
she can go into the main body of the
theater, see as much of the variety show
as her fancy Graves, and after thus be-
ing refreshed mentally and physically
go forth again to the conflicts of the
bargain counters. Altogether the wom-
ems variety theater is likely to have
farreaching effect on future generations

Star Dust.
Tho brightness of shooting stars is due

The brightness of shooting stars is due
to the heat engendered by the energy of
their motion. Their speed is enormous
namely, forty-two and half kilo-
meters second, while the speed of the
earth on its orbit is only twenty-five
kilometers forward. Consequently when
shower of them approaches the earth
in the direction opposite to its course the
initial speed is seventy-two kilometers a
second; when they follow on its course
they gain sixteen and a half kilometers
a second on it, their mean rate of ap-
proach being thirty to forty kilometers
a second.
The friction engenders temperature
of 5000 dcgs. Celsius, subject to which
they burst into fame. If under these
conditions their substance is not vapor-
lied they pass through and beyond the
upper strata of our atmosphere and pur-
sue their proper course around the sun,
but as rule they are vaporized, in
which case the vapor ningles with the
atmosphere, to fall later as meteoric
dust. In this manner we come in con-
tact annually with 146 milliards of shoot
ing stars, which add considerably to the
earth's subatauce.-Publio Opinion.
