Dye Your Hair. Ye Blondes

A statlStician has discovered that the
number OF dark-haired girls who get married
greatly exceeds that OF the fair ones, and
In order to prove that this is owing to mans
choice, not to the redundancy OF brunettes
among US. he proceeds to prove that an
overwhelming majority of those women
who live and die unmarried'-he is too
gallant to call them old nlaidS-have fair
hair and blue eyes. This is a little surpriS-
ing, for blondes are so much more confiding
and inclined to sentiment than their dark
sisters that one would have thought them
likely to prove more attractive to men. But

distastes. for realities. Perhaps the ordi-

Expert Stephen Little has submit
ted his report covering his investigation
of the accounts of the Central Vermont
railroad from June, 1893, to June,
1896. He adopts the accounts OF the
auditor with the exception that he
changes to operating expenses money
which the Central always charges to
the improvement account to the depre-
citation Of equipment, which reduces the
net earnings Mr.. Little makes the
Central show an average annual loss
for three years Of about a quarter OF a
million. He places operating expenses
about 70 per cent of gross earnings,
with everything charged to expenses.
He admits that it is customary on many
roads to charge Improvements, etc., to
improvements other than operating ex-
penses, but claims that it is not proper
railroad bookkeeping. The New Lon
don has been profitable lease, the
road showing surplus earnings last year
of $4,000.
