weeks | would take q hot bath every

BLACK AND RED HAIR ARE AKIN.
Idea to the Contrary, Long Held, Is
WRONG.

The color of the hair. says the
Grand Magazine, Is usually transmit
ted from parents TO child. This Is
especially true when both parents
have the same complexion. Instances.
however, are not uncommon where
children have hair black as ebony,
while the hair of both parents is a
burning red. Instead of disproving
the theory that child takes after
it's parents so far as the color of the
hair is concerned. this fact, 1t has now
been ascertained. is all In favor OF
the doctrine. Red hair, In fact. Is by
Its structure and composition much
nearer 10 black hair than to blond.
Very often, IL the hair of very
dark complexioned person be exam
ined attentively, few quite red hairs
will be detected In the mass. On the
other hand, IL would be time wasted
to seek for black hair in the locks of
q fair person. Similarly 1t Is. not in
frequent TO notice children whose
hair, red at birth, becomes as they
grow older quite dark When. too
after some serious illness, the produc-
ton of the coloring pigment Of the
hair falls off, black hair becomes not
blond, but red. Fair hair, which To q
casual eye appears to have much
more affinity TO red hair than to
black, is, on the contrary. quite dis

Children and Sleep.

One of the greatest mistakes of
parents and those who have charge
of children is that they are likely to
allow the young ones too little time
10 sleep. With one excuse or anoth.

night than they should be. and as
they must be off TO school betimes in
the morning and there may be duties

have finished their morning nap, Chill

Few Women Faint.

1t is curious fact, of general re-
mark. and observed not by physicians
only. that fainting is less common
than IL used TO be. II is rare that one
sees a woman carried out of church

a matter of such common occurrence
as barely TO excite remark. This is
due In very great measure to the out.
