The ancient use of the mace intro
duces us to a remarkable instance of
ecclesiastical easuistry. The clergy was
forbidden toshed blood, and as thus the
sword was inhibited this might have
been thought sufficient to keep them
from the battlefield. But not so; they
adopted the mace. Though they could
cut a mans throat, yet might they
break his head. So Bishop Ohio, half

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 13.-Receiyers of
the Northern Pacific railroad are nego-

Northern Pacific Express company. Bids
have been received from the American,
the Adams and the United States Elk

American is the highest, and the deal

The Flint and Steel and flashlights and
TaliOw Dips OF Our Ancestors.
Tothepresent generation it may seem
next door to the incredible that in the
first years Of the reign of William Nv
there were no lucifer matches. In lien
thereof there were only long matches or
splints Of wood tipped at each end with
melted sulphur, and before the compli-
Gated system OF dipping the sulphuret-
ed match in concentrated sulphuric
acid came into use these matches were
kindled first by striking a light with
flint and steel and then causing the
spark to ignite a small quantity of tin
der, an infaznmable substance usually
composed Of partially burned linen.
This simple adjunct to the process of
obtaining a light had been in use all
over the world from time immemorial.
The French finder was called lama
dou, : q word the etymology of which
has been fiercely contested, some phi
lologers deriving it from the old French
adjective .samadon,' equivalent to am
orous, and conveying the moral idea of
the sTteetly agreeable sensation Of the
hand coming in contact with a very soft
substance, while others trace it to the
Latin lad manum dulce." The French
finder was often made of the spongy
portions Of mushrooms and other fungi,
and prior to tho INTRODUCTION of ,lucifep
matches the manufacture of amadou
was one OF considerable Importance.
The cryptogumic substance was beaten
on o block Somewhat after the manner
OF felt until ib became homogeneous,
and II was then impregnated with a
solution of salts of inter or simply pull
verified gunpowder. The Germans still
fabricate q delicate kind of amadou
which is used in surgery for stanching

William Cohbett was a boy, English
cOttagers used to make for themselves
by gathering rushes and dipping them
excessively In melted tallow until sufi-
cient thick adipose matter was obtained.
In houses where refinement was sup

PARASITIC HAIR.
Phenomenon Attending the Growth as Eek
planned by Scientific Men.

Phenomenon Attending the Growth as Ex-
planned by Scientific Men.
All of the early writer's on the make
up of the human frame and its adorn-
ments invariably referred to the hair
as being an ''excrement," and most of
them held that it was fed on SUBJ
stances similar to itself. The odd no.
tions of the early anatomists and
psychologists, as we'll as the occult
philosophers, respecting the growth
and functions of the hair were the
basis of many old-time superstitions
regarding that constituent of the
human body. The ancient philosophers
declared that the hair generated" in
the fuliginous parts of the blood" and
that it was 'exhaled by the heat of
the BODY" and that it becomes firm
and fibrous on exposure to the atmos-
phere," presumably in the same man
ner that the fluid elected by the
spider becomes a "web' as soon
as the air strikes it. In modern
times, however, every idea respecting
the character and growth of hair
has changed. The scientists now uni
versally agree that the hair properly
and truly lives and receives its nour-
ishment from the scalp and adjoining
tissues. 1t is true, however, that they
take upon themselves the nature of
parasitic plants.
They grow, as vegetation does, and
each separate filament has a distinct
life and economy. That they derive
their nourishment and owe their exist
ence to the juices taken up from the
flesh and blood there is no doubt
However, after all, it cannot be that
this food is taken up from what the
Psychologists term nutritious juices,
for we know that the hair will thrive
and live even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease. In many in
stances, in truth, the hair thrives and
becomes most luxuriant when the body
is most shrunken and shriveled by
wasting ailments. And, furthermore,
in rare instances it has been known to
flourish after animal life in the body
had ceased to exist, and even after de-
cav had set in in the skin and flesh to
which it was attached.-St. Louis Re-
public.
