RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION
Description of Head-Dress Worn by Women Some Centuries Ago Ap-
 pears Almose Incredible.

Fashion plays constant pranks with a WOman's hair. Addison says in the Spectator of 171S: "There is not so variable a thing in nature as a ladys known it to rise and fall above 30 degrees" In the reign of Henry VI, ladies wore horns, having on each side ears so large that when they would pass through the door of room it was necessary to turn sideways and stOOp. It was judged necessary to en- large the doors of the Chateau de Vincennes. The correct angle for the hair was 45 from perpendicular, which entailed great strain upon the hair growing from the forehead. Little thought of what we call cleanliness or even decency was present at the hairdressng of that day. Not only was the hair left untouched for a most revOltingly long time, but materials were used in the dressing of the hair and making the rolls Gas Anna Green WinslOW relateD, which were most incredible. The Boston Gazette of May, 1771, tells of young woman driving in Boston streets who was thrown from her carriage and her high tower partly torn off. It proved to be stuffed with yarn, tow, wool, curled hair, and even hay.

SoIidified Alcohol

Solidified alcohol has proved one of the most convenient forms of fuel, and is largely made use of at the pres ent time for many purposes. There are many forms of cookers making use of this fuel, and the latest de- vice of this character is sterilizing apparatus to be made use of by doc tors and nurses. The steriliZer con- sists of two containers, one to ac- cOmmOdate the instruments to be treated and the other for the gauge, bandages and similar material. A small quantity of water in the lower chamber is heated by the flame from the alcohol and the steam therefrom passes around the instruments, thor oughly cleansing them and then pass ing to the upper chamber, where it has the same effect on the contents of that compartment. The same princi- pie is made use of in the construction of a food kettle for the use of aero nauts. The food is packed in the in- terior of the kettle and a small alco- hol burner slowed away in the bottom is ignited and the heat from it will keep the food hot for several hours.

WERE MARvELS IN CHILDHOOD
Those Whom the World Has Recog. nized as Men of Genius Remark
 able for Precocity.

One character common to genius and to insanity, especially moral in- sanity, is precOcity. Cesare LOmbrOsO, professor of legal medicine, University of Turin, relates that Dante, when nine years of age, wrote a sonnet to Beatrice; Tasso wrote verses at ten. Pascal and COmte were great think CTS at the ages of thirteen, FOrnier at fifteen, Niebuhr at seven, Jonathan Edwards at twelve, Michel Angelo at nineteen, Gassendi, the Little Doctor, at four, BOssut at twelve, and VOltaire at thirteen. PicO de la MirandOla knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean and Arabic, in his childhood; Goethe wrote a story in seven languages when he was scarcely ten; Wieland knew Latin at seven, meditated an epic poem at thirteen, and at sixteen published his poem, "Die Vollkommenste Welt" Schiller was only nineteen when he wrote "Rauber." Victor Hugo com posed "Irtamene" at fifteen. Pope wrote his ode to solitude at twelve, and Byron published verses at eight cen. Moore translated "Anacreon" at thirteen. Meyerbeer at five played eX- cellently on the piano. Claude Joseph Vernet drew very we'll at four, and at twenty was a celebrated painter. At thirteen Wren invented an astronom- ical instrument, and offered it to his father with a Latin dedication.
 Raphael was famous at fourteen. Beethoven composed three sonatas at thirteen. Eichorn, Mozart and Eybler gave concerts at six. Weber was only thirteen when his first opera, "Das Waldmarchen," was presented. Bacon conceived the "NOvum Organun' at fifteen. Charles XII manifested his great designs at eighteen.

ExpIaininq Knockout Blow.

When the lower jaw is struck on it's point, especially with an uppercut the bony portion of the ear inside is driven forcibly upward into the glen old cavity of the skull, above and be- hind which is situated the delicate labyrinth of the inner ear.
 The jaWbone strikes hard upon the thin plate of bone that supports these sensitive organs and gives a shock to the semi-circular canals that is in- stantly transmitted by them to the bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and mOmentary paralysis.
 This explains why a sideways blow on the jaw is more effective as a knockout than one delivered directly upon the point of the jaw. For the shock of sideways blow is received in one glenoid cavity, that on the side opposite the one on which it is struck, while the shock of a blow in the cen ter is divided between the cavities on the two sides.

SUPERIOR COURT. Frank Klemba Sentenced to Jail fOr One Year.

On Friday Frank Klemba of Stafford was sentenced to Holland jail for one year by Judge William M. Maltbie on the charge of abandoning his wife and co-habiting with another woman. Klemba was defended by Public Prose- cutor Edward Yeomans and plea of guilty was entered. He was taken to jail.
 In the strike cases brought before the court on December and in which the defendants failed to appear, a re- opening of the cases and request that the bonds be restored was made | by George E. Roewer of Boston, who ed Textile Workers of America Be- fore the court would allow the forfeit ed bonds to be restored, MT. Roewer had to admit that he was sent here by A. J. Muste, general secretary of the Amalgamated Textile Workers of Am erica and each of the defendants placed on the witness stand to tell why they were not present when their cases were called. MT. Roewer said in explaining why they were not pres ent, that that they did not understand court procedure and were not sure of the time when the cases were to be called. The court finally allowed the request and fixed the trials on Janu- ary 6.
 Mary c. Newman was granted de- cree of divorce from John F. Newman and given the custody of minor child.

It seems a remarkable thing, consid- ering the progress of the science o1 photography and cinematography, that color photography is still an undis- covered secret.
