A girls idea Of neatness Is some
times like the ostrich's idea OF con-
cealment-he will hide his head in
the sand and rest in the comfort that
he has eluded observation. Often girls
who wash their hair persistently give
never thought to the care of the
brushes and combs: A specialist says
that hair brushes should be washed
once a week at least, and IL used on
hair in which there is much dandruff.
twice a week is not too often.

A simple contriyance for producing
soft waves in the hair is made of rub
ber in colors to match the shade ofthe
hair. 1t is fiat, about a quarter of an
inch at the widest part. At one end
is a tiny knob and at the other a small
ring, while through the centre runs a
narrow slit. Through this opening the
strand of hair is drawn and the hair
wound around the curler. A rubber
cord loops into the ring and is pulled
over and caught on the opposite knob.
The waviness is secured much more
quickly than by other methods. and the
rubber does not in any way injure
the hair.-New York Sun.

Their Skins Light Sleeves.

The blue and green colors of frogs,
lizards. certain fishes and other verte,
brates have been investigated. A
black pigment causes the blue color
by what Pouchet called "cerulescence,
or kind of fluorescence, and the green
color is due to mixture of black
and yellow pigments. The colored
skins seem TO serve as sieves for sep
arating useful and harmful light. The
useful red heat rays are allowed to
pass. but the violet and the ultra-vio'
let. which induce skin diseases or 9th

The following humorous story Of
how nuptial festivities are sometimes
disturbed in Berlin is worth recording.
Recently, after the performance of the
civil function, at the registers Office,
and after the pastor had administered
the blessing of the church, an engrav-
er and his young bride were sitting
with the wedding guests in the parlor
OF the brides father, slipping their
after-dinner coffee. The bride hap
pened to be of superstitious nature,
and had procured from some old dame.

which was to insure the constant love
of her husband. The bride surrepti-

unobserved by him, as she thought.
To her pleasant surprise, however,
he had no sooner tasted the nauseous
draught than he spat 1t out again, and
gave his better half a loud box on the
ear. The bride was not accustomed to
delicate attentions of this kind, and
her brothers resented 1t by rushing at
htr husband and giving him a thor
ough good pummeling. Very soon the
fight became general, and tables and
chairs were upset in all directions.
Finally peace was restoEed, but the
combatapts had to get their heads
bound up. The young bride was so
disguised, however, that she refused
to accompany her husband to their
new home, so he had to proceed
thither alone, all covered with won~.s.c.

INTERESTING TABLE PREPARED
BY THE CENSUS OFFICE.
Average Age of the Population Has In
creased Nearly Two Years in
the Past Twenty.

"A table has been prepared in the census
once to show the increasing age of the
population from decade to decade. IN the
volume of the census recently published
THIS increase was shown for the period
1fom 1880 to 1900 by computing the average
age OF the population of the United States
In 1880 that average age was 24.6 years:
IN 1870 1t was 25.6 years and in 1900, 26.3
years. AS the ages Of the population were
not reported by single years prior to 1885,
this method of measurement cannot be ap-
pled TO the results of earlier censuses.
Another method of stating briefly the age
OF large population is by the use of the
Heolah instead of the average in its ordi-
nary form. The median age is the age
such mat half the population is under it
anu ha4I is over il. The median may be
computed with close accuracy for popu-
iatlon the ages of which are reported only
nS '-year periods, on the assumption that
me population within the 5-year group
containing the median distributed
among the hVe years in the proportions

Ihe table shows that there was an in
crease IN the median age of the white pop
ulatlon OF the United States during each de-
cade from 1910 to 1900 amounting in the
30 years to IA years, or an average amount
OF about five-sixths of a year in decade.
lhe meclan age of the colored population
including negroes, Indians and Mongolians,
increased after 1880, but with less regu-
iarltv, the median age for 1910 and 1850
Delns the same and that for 1880 and 1890
oelns lower than that for 1870, and not
much higher than that for 1860. The me-
olan age for 1870, however. may have been
aHected by the serious omissions in the
count OF the colored population of that
year The median age Of the colored popu-
lation increased 80 years in the seventy
year period from 1880 to 1900, or only about
half as fast as that of the whites. But
curing the last twenty years of the CEN
tury the Increase for the two groups has
been substantially the same, 10 years for
the colored and 81 years for the white
Ihe most marked increase in the median
age or the whites was in the decade 1916
1850 a period in which that Of the negroes
did not rise The change was probably
due to the influx in that decade Of large
numbers Of adult immigrants, raising the
median age.
Many complex influences have Cooper
ated in producing as a resultant this steady
change In the age composition Of the popu-
latlon. Three may be mentioned, the rapid
progress OF medical and sanitary science
which has tented to increase the average
length Of life, the decrease in the relative
number Of children born, which has made
the earlier age periods less preponder Ant
numerically in the total porulation, and
the influx especially since 1910 Of great
numbers OF adult immigrants increasing
the number in the older age periods. The
difference between the white and colored
popuia tions is doubtless due to the fact
that these influences have wrought more
powerfully upon the white race than upon
the COlOred.
