LANGUAGE OF THE HAIR"
Almost as Eloquent as the Language
of the Eyes,D

Almost as eloquent as the Language
of the eyes" is the symbolism of the
hair, and a scientific hairdresser re.
Gently asserted that the way in which
a woman arranges her locks was, in
many cases, an unerring index to her
character.
The coiffure of the Japanese woman,
as is well known, indicates whether
she is maiden, wife or widow; but un-
doubtedly the most ingenious and ro-
mantle hairdressing is that of the
Moki women of Arizona.
When these women are young their
tresses are coiled at the sides of their
hads, so as to represent the flowers
of the squash plant Ga kind of gourd)
This is designed to signify that they
are themselves in their bloom, and of
marriageable age.
When they are married their hair is
arranged to represent the fruit OF the
plant, while in old age their locks are
allowed to hang down in a form in
tended to represent the withered
stalk.

LAY EGGS IN INCHES.
Sea Birds Have Scheme That Does
Away With Nests.

Away With Nests.
w. L. Finley, the new naturalist
photographer, writes in the Country
Calendar of his experience on Three
Arch Rocks, off the Oregon coast, as
follows:
"By far the commonest birds on
the rocks are the California murres.
They nest up and down the sides of
the cliff, wherever the ragged rock
furnishes a footing. There is not the
least sign of a nest, but the single
egg is deposited wherever there is a
niche to keep it from dropping into
the sea. The peculiar top shape of
the murres egg is a unique device
to keep 1t from rolling. The practical
value Of this can be seen every day
on the sloping edges. We tried sew
eral experiments with these eggs, and
found they were of such taper that not
one rolled over the edge. When they
were started down grade, they did
not roll straight, but swung around
like top and came to standstill
four or five inches down. The eggs
we're tough -shelled, and sharp push
sent one only about nine inches be-
fore 1t whirled around on its vertical
axis"

Point About Their Construction Sur
prised Arkansan.

A former congressman, who at one
time was member of the committee
on naval affairs, tells OF a meeting of
that committee &c discuss the merits
of bill looking to a change in the
style of the guns on battleship then
being built
Strenuous objections to this meas
ure were made by rather bumptious
member then serving his first term
in congress; and in his remarks he
displayed a vast ignorance respecting
the elemental points of naval con-
struction and ordnance.
Upon the adjournment of the COM
mittee's sitting, Chairman Foss spoke
with amusement of the notions held
by the new member. "That chap,P
said he reminds me of story
heard when | came to Washington for
the first time. 1t concerned a repre-
sentative from Arkansas, who, like
our friend, had little knowledge
of sea craft. Indeed, it was said that
until he came here he never had been
aboard any sort of boat in his life.
"Well, one day they took him down
to Newport News, where he was
shown all over one of our new cruis-
ers. AS he strolled about the deck,
in company with polite young naval
officer, who was indicating to him the
points of interest on the warship, the

Primitive IroncIad.

"The primitive whale was a primi-
tive ironclad," asserts an expert on
monsters prehistoric. TT is a fact
that the earliest known ancestor of
the modern whale bore heavy armor
on its back. in the form of strong bony
plates.
at was thought at one time that
these plates were the property of gl-
gantic turtles. Not so. 1t has been

when they carried armor whales were
amphibious creatures, living on the
coasts, and needing special protection
from breakers and from sharks"

komura at Harvard.

When Baron Komura was a student
at the Harvard law school in the class
of II, his classmate and warm friend,
Baron Kaneko, urged him to go into
society, many hospitable Boston
doors being open to them. But Ko-
mura preferred, as he said, to devote
his leisure to the study of American
character in American books and to
observe American life outside of con-
ventional society. Emerson was his
favorite author, and from his writings
he adopted his motto. These and 9TH
err things that are being said of this
quiet diplomat and silent man with
keen observing eyes" are interesting
to know. 1t is evident that Komura is
going to wear well upon closer ac'
.uaintance.

Teeth Plus Wrinkles.

The age of horse cannot always
be told by looking at his teeth, says
a veterinary surgeon. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new
teeth, so that this method is useless
for q horse which is more than s years
old. AS soon as the set of teeth is
complete, however, wrinkle begins
to appear on the edge of the lower
eyelid, and another wrinkle is added
each year, so that to get at the age
of horse more than years old you
must count the teeth plus the
wrinkles.

DENOTED BY THE HAT.
Used Quite as Much for Decoration
as for Protection.

6S TOT TFOttShoU.
Discoursing on the subject OF hats.
an entiquary expressed the opinion
that the bat was first used quite
as much for decoration as for protec-
tion.
The ancestor OF ell hats he consid.
ers to have been the fillet or band
around the hair worn by the ancient
Greeks, amongst others.
Probably the first hint gained by
men regarding head ornaments was
through observing the crests, plumes
and antlers of various birds and
beasts.
The Eastern races, with their fond
hess for ceremony and display, afford
the most notable instances of the use
of hats as signs of rank and author
ity. Thus in Buddhist countries the
gods are represented as wearing
elaborate forms of headgear. In
Korea the fashion attains its height,
no fewer than fifty kinds of hats be
ing worn by the natives as indications
of their social position.

ODD CHEMICAL REACTION.
Sailors Have Dislike for a Cargo OF
Chemicals

sailors rave Dislike TOR cargo OF
Chemicals.
Sailors in merchant vessels have a
natural dislike for n cargo of chemi-
calls, since they are so prolific a cause
of fires and explosions.
But the bane sometimes supplies its
own antidote. as in the case of an At
lantic steamer which carried freight
of crude chemicals and cotton. The
explosion Of some acids brought about
a furious fire, which. like many other
fires fed by chemicals. defed all ef-
forts TO extinguish It. The captain
and crew were in despair. when a
strange and unlocked for accident
came to their relief.
The fire suddenly attacked n quan.
tity of bleaching powder. from which
the heat liberated the chlorine. The
fumes nearly suffocated the sailors,
but the chlorine held the flames in
check 10 such an extent that the fire
was ultimately overcome.

man kiss her 1t is reasonably sure
to make her angry il he let's 1t go al
