Statistics which have recently been
compiled show that persons with red hair
are far less likely to become bald than
those who have hair of another color Inc
average number of red hairs on the hu-
man skull is 1920. Hair of dark color
| is generally much finer than red halr, ana
three dark hairs cover as much space as
a single red hair AS a rule, a dark
| haired person has about 10000 hairs In
| the skull Fair-haired persons, on the
| other hand men as well as women, nave
from 10000 to 10000 The strongest
hairs however, are those of red color
and hence they endure the longest 1t may
be added that red-haired persons are gen
orally of a sympathetic and passionate
nature, and are, as rule, far more apt
to be optinlists than pessimists.
A visitor to the London zoo has lately
elephant was able to appreciate-to pick
up with his trunk and convey to his mouth
so tiny an article as a small liver pill. In
itself the fact is surprising enough, but
surely the surprise argues some ignorance
of the natural history taught us in our
first childish books, where the spectacle
of an elephant picking up pin with It's
trunk was always and most properly, eX-
hibited as an instance of the wonders of

The Kennebec ONe) Journal tells this
story: The committee on library in the
Sunday school of a church in one of Port
lands suburban villages recently deter
/ mined that some of the books in the
| library We're not exactly proper for Sun
day school books, and took II upon them
| selves to expurgate the library The books
! in question were of a very high class from
a literary standpoint, and the objection to
them was that they did not teach relg-
| ion as Sunday school books should. The
| committee went over the library carefully
| and picked out the volumes which did not
meet their ideas of what the Sunday
| school standard should be, having pre-
| viousiy determined that they should be
| burned. When they had been laid aside,
however it was decided that it was 100
bad 10 burn them, and the matter was
| finally compromised by voting to present
| them to the library of the other church In
town. Now, was that Christian charity?'

groups of deer quite distinct from any of
| those inhabiting more northern climes. OF
| one group representative has been al
ready depicted in this paper in the shape
| of the Chital or axis, and in another
| group the antiers scarcely display their
| chief popularity to perfection; but it is
| possible to notice that the portion above
| the head forms a continuous curve with
| hence termed the brow-tine. Such a con-
| tinuity of curve is met with in no other
living deer, and, therefore, al once sufices
| to distinguish the thameng las this species
| is called in Burma) from all its kindred.
| Thameng are found from Manpur and
| Burma TO Siam and the Malay peninsula,
and are also met with in the Island of
Hainan. In Burma, where they were first
discovered about the year 1870 they are
-generaHy of a uniformly foxy-red color;
but in those from Cambodia, Siam and
| Hainan, the cost is more or less distinctly
| spotted with yeilowish and the antlers are
| somewhat more branched. These deer
are met with in large herds in the interior
| of Burma, where they feed largely on
| growing rice.
! A consignment of frozen Russian bears
arrived at Leadenhall market a day or
two ago, says the London News. Six
| came in their skins-a black, a brown,
! two half grown bears and two cubs-and
! in addition there were sixty pounds of
| ursine joints steaks and outlets. cor
| respondent informs us that he inquired
| how far the speculation in bears meat
had been justified by results. Gone all
| gone" said Mr.. Tabor, save that joint

! with you, if so minded" 1t needed more
courage to accept than to decline with

| encouragingly, at the same time producing
| Il bulging meat basket, containing about
| a baron of bear. "A gentleman of light
| and leading in the Fourth Estate will can
| for il shortly" And he did, Mr. Tabor
| straightway introducing the epicure and
| the skeptic. The Valient trenchman ttlen
| pronounced a glowing eulogium on the
| succulence of ursine flesh, which may
! possibly blossom into a Dissertation on

they were eaten now, though whether di-
gested he could not say. They brought

| hanging in the market the bears attract
ed bigger crowds of curious spectators
than ever gathered around a bear pit az

Olive oil making is a simple process:

IN the season than other crops and in
