The hair is not like plants. 1t is
nothing more than unsensible threads
of skin, or, rather, papillae as they are
called, which grow in their proper
places under the same conditions as
the nails on the finger ends. The hair
papillae do not lie on the surface OF
the skin, but are sunk more or less
deeply into it, more deeply as the hair
is longer, so that long hairs adhere i'll
deep sac. The number of these hair
papillae of course varies considerably
with different people, but for each indi-
vidual is constant and Interchangeable
and cannot be increased any more than
can the number of ones finger nails.
The number of hairs depends on the pa
pillae; consequently if there are no pa
pillae there can be no hair. Moreover,
the number of these papillae is con-
stant, so that the idea of increasing
their number by clipping the hair must
be abandoned. The growth Of the
hairs depends rather on the well being
of all the papillae, but they are con-
stituent parts of skin and share It's
fate alike in both good and evil days.

AS has been mentioned in the
newspapers, the railroads of the coun-
try have quit giving passes. They
don't give passes to anyone now
that is, hardly ever. In all the great
railroad offices one of the perquisites
greatly enjoyed by the railroad people
has been free theatre tickets. Theat-
rical tyoups always want favors from
the railroad companies, and have
beer only too delighted to reciprocate
with few tickets for choice seats
Last week at Chicago a prominent
railroad official sent his office boy to
the Office of big theatre, with re-
quest for four choice box seats. The
boy came back with polite note say
ing that the ''no pass" rule had been
put in force at the theatre and that
the price of the seats for that particu
lar night was S16. That railroad
official scratched his chin very
thoughtfully. But he had asked his
wife and two friends for the evening,
and he finally dug up Il ten, five
and two fifty cent pieces, and went
to the theatre. But he didn't have a
very good time.

1t is not clear that the letter carriers
were regularly employed before 1853,
when tradition tells us that Benjamin
Franklin, the new postmaster general.
employed them in Philadelphia and
possibly in New York The earliest ev-
idence we have is of 1852, when the
Philadelphia postmaster advertised
that his "boy" had run away and that
patrons must call for their letters at
the postoffice. The Postal Journal of
Hugh Flnlay, storehouse of sound in
formation, tells us that Boston had no
letter carrier in 1773. OF New York he
says that 'soon after the arrival of
mail the letters are quickly delivered
by runner" which means messenger

This was the beginning of happy
days for Susan Strong. Hardly an aft
ernoon passed without call from
Eleanor, who wanted to see how the
gay ladies from Paris, Berlin, Switzer-
land, Japan and Russia were coming
on. Sometimes she laid aside her
wraps and sewed with the invalid.
During these hours Susan learned
many things, not only of the hospital
work, but of Eleanor's life ut home
and in the social world. And, best Of
all. she learned that the rumors regard.
ing the beautiful girls engagement to
Senator Elkus We're without founda-

Only once did Susan, wise little girl
that she was refer to Ned.
"If you happen to see Ned, don't tell
him about this, will you? don't want
him to know until all the dolls are fin
ished, and then We'll have n dress pa
rade. Maybe when he sees the work
has not hurt me, he-he will let me do
something to help him-pay the bills"
Eleanor Darlington looked past the
invalid, through the window, into the
clear winter sunlight as If seeing
faraway picture.
Il do not think there Is any danger
OF my seeing your brother
But she was wrong. She saw him the
very next day, when he came home
earlier than usual. She had brought
some holly to deck susan's room. for
Christmas was drawing near, and she
had brought beautifully embroidered
dressing sack for the invalid also. Su-
san was tying the bow ut the throat OF
her dainty gift and surveying herself
In small mirror. Eleanor was hang
Ing a holly wreath above the dressing
table, when she swung around sudden
ly, the gay wreath rolling to the hoor.
In the mirror she mad caught slght OF
Ned Strong's amazed face. He was
standing In the doorway.
"Oh, Ned. why did you come too
soon" cried Susan In mock disnny.
In reality her heart was singing with
very JOY.

In an old collection of matronly sto-
ries entitled THE Gospel of the Dis
taft" printed at Bruges In 1475. this
passage occurs: "When stork builds
her nest over a chimney it is sign
that the proprietor shall have wealth
and long life" Ancient beliefs admit
ted that the stork protected buildings
against lightning. 1t is holy bird,
and in certain German towns the ar
rival of the storks, heralds Of spring,
was announced with joyous blasts by
the watchman on the tower. What Is
certain Is that which Michelet says Of
the swallow may be applied to the
stork, "He has taken not only our
house, but also our hearts,"
Legends go still further. They con-
slider storks as the incarnation Of de-
parted souls. In that mctamorphosed
capacity they have for mission to
search the bottom Of wells for the souls
of newborn infants. In the whole Of
northern and central Germany they
have their baby wells. Hamburg. too,
had her "kindelbrunnen." This naive
faith has its origin in ancient mytholo-
gy, which represents the stork, Jointly
with the peacock, as the favorite bird
Of Juno, goddess of maternity.-French
of Maurice Engelhart.

The Intelligencer must and will reap
the reward, for who will question that
"labor will be rewarded" " and all
know that it requires constant and
hard labor to attain the high stand

FINGERS AND FORKS.
Sever use fork when taking a piece

Never use fork when taking a piece
of bread.
Avoid using a spoon for anything
that is not liquid.
Pastry should be eaten with a fork;
also ice cream where the proper forks
are served.
1t is permissible to eat celery, corn,
asparagus, water cress and undressed
salad with the fingers.
Olives should be lifted from the dish
with the olive fork or spoon, but should
be eaten from the fingers.
Lemon is often served with fish and
pancakes. The lemon should be taken
in the fingers and squeezed upon the
viands.
If cut sugar is served and there are
no sugar tongs in the bowl, lift the
pieces out as delicately as possible
with the tips Of the fingers.-New York

MUTUAL LIFE WILL ACT
Investigators Urge Drastic Steps
Against McCurdy's Supporters.

New York, Jan. 15.-It has be-
come an open secret, despite the sill
ence of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company's Investigating Committee
and the trustees, that drastic action
against members of the board closely
identified with the McCurdy admins
tration, have been recommended by
the committee. Whether this invol-
yes plans for litigation is not known.
One thing that is understood to
have fastened the committees recon-
mendations is that Attorney General
Mayer is planning to institute suits
against the MutuaPs board and
against individual trustees concerned
in questionable use of the company's
funds either directly or indirectly.

MANY of our rural friends will
regret to learn that their paper has
been sighted by the new board of
county commissioners, who saw fit to
cut it out of printing the county state
ment this year. The Intelligencer is
the only opposition to Republicanism
in Montour's newspapers and could
scarcely expect more, but when our
gentlemanly board may adjust their
thinking caps properly, we believe
their conscience will severely prick
them when they realize that it was the
Democrats who elected them to their
respective positions. 1t does not pay
to be too hasty in anything we do or
say, and we therefore believe that this
great mistake on the part of our new
board of commissioners will be sorely
lamented by them, and would not
have been made, had any or all of
them been in knowledge of the fact
that MORE OF THE BEST AND
INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF

The want Of composite pronoun to
express both "he" and "she," and, what
is sometimes more important, to -ex-
press neither he nor she, must have
embarrassed every one at some time or.
another. There are ungrammatical
ways Of shelving the difficulty, such as.
for instance, by translating the con-
venient French ION" as "they," when
we really mean one person who may
be either masculine or feminine. The
lack Of portmanteau word to express
both sexes without specifying either
did not, however. trouble the new maid
who approached her mistress with the
ingenious remark, "Please'm, friend
Of mine has called--and may l ask It
to tea ?"-London Chronicle.
