Blonde hair is finer than that of any
other color. BY actual count it has been
ascertained that 400 hairs to the square
inch grow upon the head of blonde
beauty. The brown comes next with $50,
then come the black with 325 and the red
with 250 or 260. After counting the hairs
growing on an inch square it has been
estimated that on the head of blonde
there will be about 149 900, a black 100000

Few more graceful examples could

lean ladies hospital ship, which will
probably be fitted out with many Of

were so highly valued during the Gu
ban war.
This is the first example OF a hos
pital ship provided bya nation which

from both sides of the Atlantic show
how warmly the merciful idea is ac-

M with her husband last night, but
retired early and nurses watched the
patient during the night. They had
no occasion to call the physician after
after II O'Clock, when he left the Ho-
bart home. Although Mr.. Hobart is
resting easily. it is admitted that he Is
gra dually growing weaker. His fail
ure to take nourishment in sufficient
quantities is responsible for this.
The vice president was resting
quietly this afternoon and was asleep
at a quarter to two. A basket OF
flowers was received from Mrs. Nc
Kinley to-day. and letters came from
Rear Admiral Schley, expressing the
hope that the vice president would soon
