Disconnected the Empress.

The German empress recently Rad
somewhat disconcerting expert
ence. While staying at ole of the
imperial hunting castles in Alsace
she paid a visit TO village school
a few miles from Strasburg. Before
leaving she gave the pupils the Gus
tomary permission to ask any request
they pleased, with the promise that
she would grant it if in her power
TO do so. Fully expecting the favor
would take the form of a whole hol-
day or a supply of cakes, she was not
little embarrassed when one of the
elder girls stood up and in some
what trembling voice asked that the
French language might be taught in
that school. Her majesty looked
thoughtful, but, realizing the necessi
ty of keeping her word, she gave the
required permission, to the great de-
light of the pupils.

WHY HAIR TURNS GRAY.
Various Theories Accounting for the
Sudden OF Gradual
Change.

The color of the hair depends on lit
tie granules, which can be seen If the
hair be examined under a powerful
microscope. Sometimes, says st. Mich
olas. the hair may become white in
night. Brown-Sequard tells us that
when he was As years old his beard
turned white in two days This took
place when he was perfectly well and
without any especial cause. Sometimes,
however, sorrow or illness produces the
change earlier in life than it would
usually take place. AS to the cause,
some have said that the hair becomes
filed with small air-particles which
make it look gray; others have said
that the outer part of the hair becomes
altered so that il is like ground glass
and you cannot see the color. But a
man by the name of Metchnikof tells
MS that the real reason is because small
movable bodies in the hair devour the
grains of coloring matter and move them
TO the root of the hair. Sometimes
poisons in disease, or some results OF
sorrow, bring about an effect upon these
small migrating bodies (cells), causing
them TO become active in the above fash
ion. That is said TO be the reason why
the hair grows gray.
