Numerous are the in btanres not only of the growth of the ha'.r itftir death, mt a'so of Its virMiai indes'rnctibility. A very curious ex ample of this was brought before public notice at the uiDnthly of a society of antiquaries. A member produced a photorayh of the hack hair of a joung Rjman lady, who. judging from a coin f.iund kins under he crlTi?, must have lived abut the time of Constantino. When the cifiin wasoppened it was seen that the boiij had been buried in gyp sura with the head oo a pillow. Te front part of the ikull had given way. so that tha back of the head was thiown forwa-d, and on it was a long folded tresa of frmale u.iir with two pet pins remaining iu it. It was of lovely auburn color and in excellent preserva tion. Now.it is not for one moment insinuated " that this interea'.inj tress was such 3 young Iidiesof the nine teenth century hanjr over the back of the bedroom chair. It IndLspu'aby belonged to the lead of the IVman girl when she was buried. A Cure for Stooped Mioulners. How often one hears the rematk : "Wh t a fine, big fellow Mr. Svan-1 so would be if he didn't stoop ?' And still such a miafiirtune can easily be cured. The stopping figure and halt ing gait, accompanied by the unavoid able weakness of the lungs, can be at tended to and finally cured by the veiy simple and easily performed exercise of raising one's self npon the toes in a per fectly perpendicular manner several tiroes daily. To take thiJ exercise properly one must take a perfec' post lion, with the heels together and the toes at an ang'e of forty-five dgr-es. Then drop the arms lifelessly ty the Fides, animating and raising the chest niuszu'ar'y to its full capacity ; the chin should be well drawn in and the rrown of the head leeling is if attache. 1 to a strin? snsper.ded from the ceiling above.

Alv;uit.ts;e of Rfing a Dlonile. Kvery year we get the cry from fash ion writers : "ll'ondes no Inngf r in styla ; they have bten superseded by their ddtker sifters." etc. Now, that's all nonsense. Vou cannot do away with the tilonde. nor can you do hwjj with frizzled, ttOPTd hair, l're emi nently, the blonde is the beauty of civ iltzitioD. iShe is aim ns, to stay as such, and she csunot be driven away.

A mole spot on the arm pit really promises wealth and honor. Ou the ankle it bespeaks ruods'y in men, bir courage in women. When a mole si-ot Is fouLd on the right hreast it is a sure sijjQ bf honesty, if on the leit itforhodes poverty : on the chmit promises wealtb, ou the liht ear respect, on the left ear d shonor. It it is eei in the rentre of the forehead bespeaks r-cher, sul lencets and untidiness. If it is on the Tight temple it foreshows that yu w.ll enjoy the friendship of the great ; on the left temp'e it foretod-s distress ; on tht left fxt it bespeaks wisdom ; on the ritfht rashness.

T . . r .It . .a.- , ' , -i r The Cabbage. Just speak to fine lady about cb- bagra and she will think ibal ou have mentioned one of tne lowest tbinga on earth. Mddam. yon are wrong ; it is one of the most nsefn! articles of food. Those ancient natious did uot know food "cience, but they knew th Talua of good and nourishing tblcgs, and gave them them the place of honor which they dearted. . Cabbages were thought of highly by ancient nations, 003 the Egyptians gave the cabbage the honor of letting it precede all their ol b er "dishes ; they called it a divine dish. The Greeks and Rjojon? bad a great affection for cabbage and conceived the idea, which I have myself, that tht use of the cabbagd keep people from drunkenness. I am persuaded that the constant eating of certain vegetables kills the desire for alcoholic beverages. Greek doctors ascribed all kinds ot vir tues to the cabbage. It was tboogbt to cure even paralysis. Books were com posed to celebrate the virtues of the cabbage, and ladies partook of it soon after childbirth. The Romans thought even more of the cabbage than the Greeks. They ascribe to It the fact that they could for six hundred years do without doctors, and Cato actually maintained that cabbage cured all dis eases. The ancients knew several kinds of cabbage the Iong-leived gre n cabbage, the hard white, so much ustd n Germany for ''sauerkraut" or fer mented cabbage, the curly aaa red. The last seams to have held the p'ace of honor, and was first introdued by the Romans into Gaul or France, and then brought to Great Britain. Later the greenleaved cabbage was introduced. The Greeks were fond of aromaf.ic sea sonings of oil, raisins, wine and als monds. They boiled or stewed the cabbage and seasoned it with cummin, coriander seed, with oil, wine, and gravy, makiog rich dishes of a vegeta ble, which we now boil in water, and reckon among the plainest food. Some thing like a remembrance of eaboage among the old Greeks has come down to the modern Greeks, for they stuff cabbse leaves with dainty mince meat, and tbeu stew them with gravy. How to ."poll a Child. 1. Begin young te give him what ever he eries for. 2. Talk freely before tbe child about bis smart nesa as incomparable. 3. Tell him ibat be is loo much for you, that you cau d nothing with bim. 4. Have divided counsels aa be tween father aud mother. 5. Let him learn to regard bis father a a creature of unlimited pow er. cafT'cious and tyrannic! ; or as a ate re wbippiner macnine. 0. Let him learn, from his father's example, to despise bis mother. 7. 1) not know or care who bis companions may be. S. Lt him read whatever he likes. y. Let the child, whetLer boy or girl rove the streets in the evenings a god school for both sexs. 10. D -vote yourself to making mon ey, rem mbertLg that wealth Is a tet ter leg icy for jour child rl ai princi ples in the heart and habits iu life ; ar.d let Lim have plenty of money to epeud. 11. Be cot with him in hours of recreat ion. 12 S; rain at a gnat aad swallow a camel ; chastise severely for a foible and laueh at a vice. 13. L-t him run about from church to etinrch. Eclecticism ia religion is the order of the dav. 14. Whatever burdens of virtuous requirements vou lay on bis shoulders. touch not with one of- voar fineers. Freach gold and practice irredeemable crenb:ek3. These rules are not untried. Many parents bavins proved them, with sub s' antla! uniformity of results. If a faithful observance of them does cot spoil your cbitd, you will at least bate that comfortable reflection that youbae done what vou could. The Latest in Fans. The old styles of fan have came In. Tbe newest of the fans in the Empire fashion are mare of gauze with inch- wide gauzo ribbons on llsse bands run ning across ia rows, each row being painted with a vine pattern in flowers, or with cherubs' beads or some scroll work notion. Ttey are very pretty, of ten in exquisite taste nd .not dear, but there is not one of them which can com p ire with the genuine Louis Quinne fans in those famous old Vernis Martin mounts which time has not robbed of tbeir lustre, and which are now be- ins unearthed rapturously from the old brie a-brac shops and auction rooms. Some of them have mounts of nothing more snbetantia! than paper, others are ei'k or vellum, all are marvelous: painted with the ami liufr, simpering Marbue?ss, the powder and patches. the minute and delicate art, the grace ful prettinees of that pleasure-loving ar.

These buildings are often erected very mncb at random, and without a careful estimate of their needs. aDd with au imperfect know:edge of many usefu' details. Tbe following twenty brief lules, if observed, would often save money, meet requirements and sffoid conveniences, although others might be added : In the first place ascertain what will be wanted in the proposed barn. intimate tbe number of tous of bay to btJ8lored, tbe loads of unlbrethi-d giain, the required contents of tbe granar itnd tbe numoer of cattle and hotses to occupy the stables. Calculate tbe room required fsr hat at COO cubic feet on an average Tor a ton. and nearly the same for the un threshed erain. Determine granary room by allowing ljcubic feet to the bushel Iu the bins. For cattle and horse stables, allow f ir stalls at least 3$ or four feet wide for cattle, and five feet for horses, and fourteen feet for entire length, includ i g passage and mangers. Then provide room for bay and grain btys, epice for straw, area of threshlog floor, room for tools aod borse power, size of granary, entire space for cow and borse arables, root cellar, silo and manure sheds. lu arranging all these, place tbe threshing floor convenient to the grain bays, and the granary contiguous to or below them ; tbe feed rooms, roots, meal or eusilage, on a level witb and near tbe an.mals ; and give heavy pro due's tbe first place for convenient po position. Good Suggest on Tor Winter. Dj not worfc your boys and eirls so hard as to break tbeir spirits. Strain a i-oint to give them and yourselves greater opportunities for reading. In erest yourselves in tb-ir studies and heir schools. Insist, indeed, tbat tbe comparative, leisure of tbe winter monihs shall oe tributary toinie'etutl rrprovemeut. Consider a first class iifwspapei an absolute necessity for - be family, and let an occasional tx.ck I come in with its quickening influence. As a further means of improvement, let more be made of good neighborhood fellowship, not only in tbe way of oc casional social gatherings, but by stated organizations tbat shall combine somr oiject of lnformotion and intellectual improvement. A debating club or reading club kept up regu'arly during tbe winter moctbs in the distric school-house or at tbe farmhouees in urn would do wonders in the course of yeais to remedy th deficiencies in the farmer's life. Magazin- and book ciubs would supply, at slight cost to the individual, good reading matter for the whole neighborhood. In my town, we have a farmer's c'.ub now more than twenty years old, that has accomplish ed much, not only in improving the methods of agriculture, but in quicken ing the in'eliectual and social life of its members. Why should there not be a similar organization in evry town. hblloti'a e aempiieai Care.
