An English journal warns the London
ladies that their powder pufTs. those
airy necessities Of the toilet. are heavy
with the blood Of slaughtered innocents.
1t is stated that as many as 20. 900
young swans-cygnets. as they are
called-are killed every year to supply
this dainty fluff, 10 say nothing of in
Vulnerable young birds of the. elder duck
and wild goose variety. The bulk of
these are imported, the swan and geese
from the islands of the Baltic and from
Norway and Sweden. and the elders
from the northern and more ice bound
seas.
One cygnet will make nearly dozen
average sized ''puffs," which show
how many women must be, to greater
or less extentA addicted to the use of
powder
The puff trade is highly profitable, as
may be judged from the fact that the
down of cygnet costs little more than
% cents, the poor creature often being
plucked alive SO that it may bear an
other CROP while the puffs are sold at
from 20 cents upward, nicely mounted
in bone and blue or pink satin, which adj
juncts amount to comparatively nothing.
The ladies of Paris and Vienna are the
largest consumers Of puffs, owing chiefly
to their fastidiousness in casting aside
pulls as soon as they lose their pristine
delicacy

The influence of diet on the growth
of hair has often been discussed. 1t has
been shown that starchy mixtures, milk
and many other foods recognized as be-
ing highly nutritious are, in fact, sure
death to hair growth. Chemical analy-
sis proves that the hair is composed of 5
per cent of sulphur, and its ash of 20
per cent of silicon and 10 per cent of
iron and manganese. The foods which
contain the larger per cent of the above
named elements are meat. oatmeal and
graham. Henry pointedly says, ma
tions which eat most meat have the
most hair. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

work done, unless he is obliged to, must
have something the matter with him
that can best be treated at an insane

first process is to clear the pond Of snow,

with scrapers drawn by horses. Usually
O scraper will clear eight feet of surface
and requires two horses for the hauling
and two or three men for the tending.
After the scraping comes the mark
ing. If there is snow ice, the marker
must be preceded by planer to remove
the spongy surface The marker is then
drawn by a horse along straight line
between two given points, making
groove two or three inches deep. Other
grooves parallel with the first are made
at intervals of 30 inches till the field
to be cut has all been gone over, after
which cross grooves are made, marking
the whole surface into squares like big
chessboard. The grooves are then deep
ened by an ice pillow, the cakes are saw
ed apart by hand. and then the ice is
ready to be housed. From the house
there is an inclined power elevator, and
the ice cakes are fioated to It as fast as
they are loosened, canal being first
opened through ice nearest, so that the
cakes farthest away may be earliest

Two Women E-aturalized.

At Worcester, Mass, April 2, for this
drsS time in the history of the central
district court, two women appeared
among the applicants for naturalization
papers. They were bright, intelligent,
womanly young women, sisters, Joanna
and Nellie Donahue. After witnesses
had testified the applicants were duly
sworn by Clerk Thayer, forswearing all
allegiance to her majesty Queen Vic
toria, ruler of the United Kingdom Of
Great Britain and Ireland. The women
took the oath with an air of being thor
oughIy impressed with the responsible
ity of the step they were taking, and
then. with their witnesses, stepped up
to the desk of Clerk Perry and affixed
their signatures to the necessary docu-
ments, after which they left the court
room secure in the consciousness that
they possessed all the rights at pre7ent
granted to women in Massachusetts.

MARRIED DOGS EYES.
an Explanation Wanted CT the Pressns
of These Tan San4s


of These Tan SHOTS.
Can any Of your readers explain tina
meaning of the tan spots seen SO com.
nonly over the eyes in black and tar
dogs Of most la'seds?
When in Melbourne last year, wens
carefully over all the dogs in show
with one of the stewards, and we found
the spots in all the black and tan ter.
ders, foxhounds, deerhounds, collyes
surohers, ETC., but I could get no infor-
nation regarding them ftom the e1,

found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, were being
bred ont and had nearly disappeared
Their persistence through so many
strongly marked varieties, except thoss
Of late date, is singular, tr there Is
fairly good proof that when first domes-
icated the dog was req or brown, like
the pariah, dingo, etc.
As far as I can see, we do not find
she spots white on black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark on 3
white or light ground. My explanation
Is that they have arisen as a permanent
marking after the dogs ''sported" to
black under domestication and have
been preserved and developed through
natural selection. Possibly they are pro
sective and simulate eyes
