Thin-Haired Women.
If the unsatisfactory statistic,

be relied on, the proportion of bald.

about 80 to 7. As the majority Of
girls at the age under consideration

Women Of Irritable Temper.
It is like living in a den OF snarling
animals to live with q person who has
this sort of temper. writes Ella Wheel
or Wilcox in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Many an Eden is destroyed by
it, while the possessor prides himself
upon being o good Christian and do
ing his whole duty by his family. Yet
if the soup lacks q little salt, or con-
tains a littls too much pepper, if a
meal is q moment delayed, if q child
ia noisy in it's mirth, if a drawer
sticks, or a door slams, or q chair
creaks, each trife calls forth an ex-
hibition of disaereeable temper which
ruins the comfort and peace of the
household for an hour. Many q WON.
an is addicted to this sort of temper
and calls it cher nerves" and cOnsid-
ers herself the most devoted wife and
mother in the world. Yet II she is
Obliged to delay her dinner for any
member of the family, if she is called
from one task to perform another, il
the children scatter their p~laythings. or
leave their schoolbooks in the parlor,
she INDUCES in such petulant scolding
that a gloom settles over the whole
household. She would consider il no
difficult thing for her to die for that
household were it demanded of her.
But to control her irritable temper is
q task too great to demand OF her.
And SO the Eden is destroyed, and
30 the children grow up eager to get
out of the home where everything is
uncomfortable, and the parents won-

whom they have toiled and saved,
seem to care SO little about their
home, and why they seem 90 anxious
to seek pleasures elsewhere.
