Hair-Raisinn r-ie

This is bald and convincing nar- rative, not to say hair-raising tale. All of Broadway who have brows so high that they reach over to the back of the neck are considering taking up music lessons, and the front rows of music shows have been oyer-sub- scribed by men who have come out from under their natural shelter. It's all because a doctor has announced that the peace and tranquility and the joy of music are what make musi- cians hair grow long and prevent them from becoming bald-headed, When you come to think of it mu- sicians are long-haired. That there ere plenty of men in this city who believe in the efficiency of music hav- ing charms to lure forth the shy, vio- let-like hair is shown by the number of glistening domes seen in the SO called "bald-headed rows" of every theater featuring a musical show Watch one of these roof gardens at some particular musical show and il is possible you may be able to see 8 hair sprout and flower before youl very eyes.-New York Times.

Peculiarities of the Eve,

A thousand strange phenomena are associated with the eye. For instance, we imagine that we see all the words at once in line of ordinary length. while the eyes actually see only a single point clearly. At the same time the paradox remains that we see more definitely an object slightly re- moved from this positive point. In certain conditions each eye will see an object independently, which is called seeing double. Another phe- romenon is the blind spot, caused by a place in the eye mechanism where all is nerve fiber and no retinal ele- ments. If a dot on sheet of paper be drawn back and forth, one eye be- ing closed, it will at certain point be invisible. Visions impressed on the brain subjectively are at times and in certain distorted visual conditions seen objectively. and from this arise many of the stories of apparitions, which are nothing but hallucinations.

 An interesting contribution to the discussion of universal language IS offered by the Montreal Family Her aid The adoption of universal lan- guage, purely spoken by all who use it, is made difficult by t,e fact that there are physical differences of an important character between tie diff ferent races. The vocal organs are so unlike in different peoples that language originally uniform would soon change in the mouths ot the va rtous nations. until they ccull no longer understand one another. II the Italian language could ho taught to all Chinese or Russians it would change so rapidly that in few years no one would recognize 1t as Italian One theory to account for tiis fact IS that the people in the chily norta speak with the lips nearly closed, ana that those who live in nliider climates give free articulation b. o2ehing t4e mouth.

June the Month of Weddinos.

In contrast to May, June is con- sidered particularly fortunate month for weddings, and for this we may hark back to Ovid for authority Re cognizing the unauspicious character of May, he carefully investigated the calendar to determine the best time for his daughters wedding. and finally selected June as good to the man and happy to the maid" But the choice of June has never been so general as the avoidance of May. The ancient Greeks preferred January to all other times. In Russia there is a belief that matches made at Easter bring wealth; at Ascension, health; at Whitsunday, domestic peace and hap piness, ard at Trinity, many children.
