COMPLEXION OF LUNATlcs.
Fewer Blondes Than Brunettes Are
Confined in the Asylums Of
the Various States.

Several months ago l happened
across pamphlet published by tho
government of a southern state, in
which were some interesting statistics
regarding the complexion OF the in
mates of the state insane asylum"
Hobart Langdon said. only three pc.
cent. of the total had light hair, aa,l
only two Per cent. blue eyes.
1T struck me as a rather curious
fact that dark haired and dark eyed
people should so largely predominant
among the insane, but the matter of
latitude might play some part in this,
l thought; for naturally there were
more dark than light haired people in
that section. Just as a matter of Curl
osity. however, l thought l would
write to asylum authorizes in certain
other parts of the country to see what
the ratio of light haired inmates was
to those who were dark, and expected
to find the percentage increase in COM
munltleS where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this l was
mistaken; so l am led to infer from
the statistics I gathered that there is
greater possibility for insanity
among dark haired than among light
haired people.
MY figures were obtained from IS
asylums, located in nearly every state
in the union, and few in Canada and
England. The total number of pa
tients in these institutions was 1852,
of whom 703 had light hair and only
&c red or auburn locAs. In other
words, SO per cent. of the inmates
were brunettes, with either black o.
brown hair, the latter in varying
shades. In one asylum in New England
there was not a single inmate that was
not a brunette. Of course, l do not
know how to account for this, for
am not a specialist in such matters,
and secured the statistics only out of
pure curiosity, but it certainly looks as
though blondes were less liable to in
sanity than those with darker hair or
eyes.
Another peculiar feature about the
facts I obtained, however, was that
the percentage of those regarded as
incurably insane was much greater
among the blondes than among the
brunetteS The totals show that
among the dark haired inmates only SO
per cent were marked hopelessly in
sane, while among the blondes 81 per
cent were put in this category, and
only three among the red haired pa
tents escaped the same classification. .

SCENTED DOG is LATEST.
Few York Fashionables Select an APP
propriate Perfume of Each
Modish Breed.

Nowadays the pet dog must be per-
iumed, says the New York Sun, but it
not enough to scent him with aSy old
perfume. Modish women who con-
Iider their pets try to select an, appro-
,riate odor for them Thus Japanese
GOODIES are perfumed with frangipani,
which has spicy Japanese odor that
suggests the oriental nativity of the
animal. Mexican hairless dogs, which
are enjoying quite vogue just now, are
scented with chypore, which has a
heavy, tropical odor that suits these
dogs of the south. Very little Of it is
hsed. as the scent is powerful Two or
three drops on the long hair behind the
aead, where the dog cannot indulge in
bis tendency to lick it on, is all that is
needed. The shaggy skye terriers are
.cented with a stimulating extract of
Scotch heather sold by one of the Fifth
avenue druggists and redolent of the
Scotch flowers perfume. French
roodles. which are not nearly so popular
low as they used to be, smell delicately
1f some Partisan perfume. Boston ter
iers have received as their special per-
hume scent made by New York drug
eist and declared to be the sporties. of
az c1ors.

TRADE IN ELEPHANTS SMALL
Ceylon Directory Shows That Only
Eight of the Animals Were
Exported in 1908.

In the new Ceylon Handbook and Di-
rectory an interesting record is that Of
the export of elephants from the island
during the past Al years In 1903 there
were only eight of these pachyderms sent
out of the country, one to British India
and seven to Germany. The price paid
for these animals was $500 rupees, CIV
ing modest average of 825 rupees each.
royalty of rupees 200 per head was i'm
posed in 1873, and the number of ele-
plants exported, which had fallen low
before then, dwindled in the next three
years to three and even to one. In 1882
the royalty was reduced to Rs. 100, in the
hope that business might revive and en-
couragement be given to supplying the
new demand for Ceylon elephants in the
Continental menageries. The rajahs'
courts in India had previously formed
the chief market for them. The total
number sold in the time treated of was
2,225, or an average of Sc per annum
Mr.. Alfred Clark, an expert, estimates
that there are now only 1000 elephants
in Ceylon. The royalty was again ra:sed
to Rs. 200. Whether the effect of this
will be to permit the animals to increase

PROFESSIONS LEAVE MARKS
life Work Nearly Always Shows It
self in Some Peculiarity-That
of the Violinist

The observation has been made in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat that you
can tell violinist by the fact that he
carries his head on one side. &c. too,
you can tell the cornetist, as rule, by
the peculiar pucker of his lip. The up
per lip is generally drawn in the center,
and is inclined to stick out just little
beyond the normal line. Cavalrymen,
if in service long enough, have bow
legs and will generally stand with their
feet some distance apart, as if making
room for a horse between their legs.
The painter generally has the mark of
the palette pole on his thumb. The
pianist has big hands. Men and women
who scrub floors generally have big
knees, whence we get the medical term
housemaid's knee. These are only some
of the ways we have of telling what a
man does, and, may add, these are the
easier ways. Of course, there are many
callings in the world which make it
easy to class persons who follow them if
we are the least bit observant We
know the judge, for instance, by his
measured speech and the dignity he as
sumes. There is but little chance of

DEVELOP PECULIAR HEARING
Employees Catch Words Easily in Din
of Mill, But in Quiet They
Are Very Deaf.

People who have worked years in
mills and shows develop popularity
of hearing that is paradoxical," re-
marked the manager of big maniac
turing establishment, to a Philadelphia
Record man
They are deaf at home and wonder
fully acute of hearing in the work
room. In quiet place, where the or
binary tone of voice is distinct and
sharply defined above all other sounds,
they have to be almost yelled at by
others conversing with them, and yet
in the din of mill they can carry on
a conversation where the average per
son could not hear q shout. Often a
visitor comes here to see a friend
at work, and while the visitor half the
time is unable to hear his own remarks
above the racket the worker catches
the words without difficulty. Yet If the
two were In room away from the mill
it would be the mill employee who
would have trouble going ahead with
the conversation, unless loud speech
was resorted to. Away from the clat-

have been accustomed for years. the
mill hand is more or less deaf but in
the midst Of the rumble his sense Of
hearing IS very keen It's odd, but :t.s

MAY BE GREAT INVENTION.
New Engine of the Rotary Type Which
Is Attracting Attention OF
Technical Experts.

The New York Herald recently COM
tanned an account of the perfecting OF
the Hoffman rotary engine which, it 10
claimed, will revolutionize the use OF
steam. William F. Hoffman, of Buffalo.
the inventor of the new engine, has been
at work on the problem for more than
30 years, and it is said emissaries from
the Russian government have been try
ing to induce him to part with the exclu-
siye rights to the invention.
The story of Hoffman's struggle in his
battles with science are detailed minute
ly. Before he succeeded in securing the
perfected 300-horse power rotary he is
said to have constructed nine complete
engines and to have expended more than
$4,000. Some of the money was pro-
vided by Wall street firm which after
ward was swept away in a financial
panic.
The secret of the invention is said to be
the revolution of the cylinder outside OF
the piston instead of revolving the pis-
ton inside the cylinder. Here are some OF

The Moon and the weather.

The moon is the most powerful agent
IN producing the tides on the earth; it
also produces some slight variations in
the earth's magnetism So far as sci
ence has been able to investigate there is
absolutely no change in the weather
which can be attributed to the moon, al
though half or more of mankind seem to
believe that the moon does have some
control over the weather All such be-
liefs, including the time for planting gar
iens and for going fishing are mere
superstitions-the survivals of an age of
sgnorance.-St. Nicholas.
