There is every reason to believe that
primitive man had thick and abund-
ant head of hair, and that this natural
clothing of the scalp is diminishing
among civilized peoples, and will end
Dy disappearing altogether, which
would certainly not be advantageous
from an aesthetic point of view. The
cause OF this disappearance of the
hair, according to the doctors, must
be sought in the very conditions of civ.
ilization and in the customs it has
introduced. One of the customs es-
pecially hurtful to the hair is the hat,
and, above all, the masculine hat; so
we see mans hair suffer more than
womans.

And the public looked and spoke,

Ere they'd half perused the proem,

When he called that thing a poem. .

EVOLUTION OF HOUSE HEATING.

From Bonfires in Living Rooms to
Suction Draft That Impaired Life.
In the primitive fireplace the smoke
was supposed to pass through an open
ing in the roof, but, failing in this, II
escaped, with the occupants, through
the handiest side opening. The mid
die ages set the hearth against the
wall, and built a projecting hood OF
brick or stone above 1t to carry OFF the
smoke. Gradually, the fireplace was
built with two fanking jambs, which
supported it, and thus the present
form of fireplace was evolved. AS the
armorial bearing was prominent
feature of decoration in these times,
it's embodiment in the treatment OF
the firebreast became common, and
the already important fireplace be
came the central feature Of the room
At later period the fireplace was let
into the wall, as is the common form
to-day.
At first the fireplace opening was OF
small dimensions, but, on the theory
that the larger opening meant an in.
crease o, heat it was enlarged to
great size. Then, when the tendency
to draw children and furniture up the
chimney, or let in all the outside cold
through the enormous opening, found
little hindrance in the iron doors EN-.
ployed to remedy the defect they
went back to the smaller opening as a
relief.
