canoe along the loose ice, one oold day,
when just round a point that projeoted

him in my canoe ; when I landed I made
up a fire and got him some hot tea and
food. He had a bone of some animal in
his boBom, which he gnawed almost to
nothing. He was nearly frozen, and
quieted down and soon fell asleep. I
nursed him like an infant. With great
difficulty, and in a round-about way I
found out the name of the town from'

got along, around falls and over por

lest he should escape from me into the

they had learned that he had wandered

upon, that, if he was found, the bells
were to be rung and guns fired. And,
as soon as I landed, a shout wrs raised,
his friends rushed to Lim, the bells
broke out in loud notes, and guns were
fired, and the report echoed again and

Two little German girls, Brigitte and
Walburg, were on their way to the

Brigitte murmured and sighed con

Brigitte said: What makes yon

Walburg answered: "1 have a pre

"Oh," cried Biigitte, " it must in

THE HAIR.
Hem Garieaa Facte la Relatlea te Oar

It has sometimes been wondered
where all the false hair oomes from
with whioh the deficiencies of the natu
ral supply are eked out. Foreign coun
tries furnish the bulk of the material
for the Amerioan market, as there are
few people here who, whether from in
clination or necessity, dispose of their
locks tor money, Jjight hair oomes

south of France supply the black J and
it is a curious sight to see the yonDg
peasant girls being sheared like sheep
by men as well as women. The univer
sal custom of wearing caps which com
pletely conceal their abundant locks,
doubtless accounts for the readiness of
the French peasant girls to sell for a
song the fit est ornament of their sex.
Now and then some story gets into
print, abont the dangers of wearing
false hair, and the aocounts of insects
which have been said to inhabit it are
by no means attractive reading. But
these stories are, as a rule, either inven
tions or exaggerations, for in every re
pntable hair store there is a guarantee
of cleanliness which any eye can be sat
isfied of. There are, no doubt, un
pleasant associations connected with
what is known in the trade as "grave
yard hair," that is, the hair which is
taken from a person's head after death ;
but this kind being brittle and deficient
in the qualities necessary for daily use,
is probably only found in cheap quar
ters. Very ourious, as showing the
connection between the emotions and
the hair, are those instances in which
terror or some great mental distmbance
has suddenly blanched it. Marie An
toinette's experience in having her had
become gray the night preceding her
execution is sufficiently familiar. An
other example, referred to by Dr,
Wyuter as coming under his own obser
vation, was that of a soldier who feigned
rheumatism, and lingered in a hospital
for three months, to escape military ser
vice. This anxiety to keep up the de
ception caused his hair to turn gray, al
though he was quite a young man.
These emotional affections of the hair
are supposed to be caused by the action
of some fluid in the blood upon the pig
ments. Patches of white hair are some
times, though rarely, found upon new
born babes, and it is the absence of pig
ment which produces the whiteness so
familiar in the Albino.
As to the causes of baldness, they are
to some extent connected with artificial
habits of life. The larger deposit of
fat in the female scalp, which allows of
a free circulation in the capillaries of
the skin, is held by medical authorities
to account for the general exemption of
women from baldness, as compared with
men. The smoothness of a scalp de
nuded of its natural covering, shows a
denseness of texture in the skin caused
by the destruction of the bulk of the
hair, and the closure of the follicles in
this condition, all remedies are use
less. The silk hat so constantly worn
by men is probably responsible for
muoh of the prevailing baldness, and
the fact that this ceases below the place
of contact with the head, indicates the
mode of operation, the exclusion of air
and consequent excessive production of
heat. Uoolness of the head is a re
quisite for a healthy growth of hair,
which is apt to come out in fevers and
other morbid states of the system. Noth
ing better can be devised for the benefit
of the hair than the daily nse of oold
water, followed by vigorous rubbing.
The use of animal fats is injurious by
reason of their heating properties, and a
light cleansing and gently stimulating
wash is the most which is needed by
way of artificial application to promote
the health and growth of the hair. The
blood, says a medical writer, is the only
macassar of the hair, the only oil which
can with truth be said to " insinuate its
balsamic properties into the pores of the
head. The fine network of vessels on
which the bulbs of the hair rest is alone
capable of maintaing its healthy exist
ence. The same writer adds : We
do not see why internal preparations
should not be tried, and we are not at
all certain that gelatine soups and pills
mnae of the ashes of bnrnt hair, might
not be enectual in baldness, as those in'
gredienta would supply to the blood the
materials necessary for the production
of hirsute growths. Barring the cre
mation and restaurant suggestions,
which are here unpleasantly connected
with hair, it might be worth while for
persons who have grown gray in read
ing fie Timet, or become bald by not
reading it, to test tho soundness oi
these bits of wisdom in relation to the
subject. Boston Timet,
Birds and Hard Winters.
The tendency to augnr a hard winter
from the arrival of birds which usually
winter in countries far north of us, is,
we think with the Rev. F. O. Morris,
himself a great observer of the habits of
birds, generally a mistake. What such
arrivals do prove, is not what is going to
be so much as what has already happen
ed in these northern regions the birds
flying before the oold, rather than takiug
precautions against it before they feel
it. No doubt this may imply a severe
winter for us, as well as for these north
erly regions, especially if northerly
winds prevail, as they are very apt to
do when there is unusual cold, and,
therfore, an unusually dense atmos
phere to the north of us, whioh rushes
in on the rarer atmosphere of our more
humid climate. But that is only Baying
that the birds fly from weather which is
not likely to extend itself to us, not that
they anticipate severe weather oeiore
they feel it. When robins come into
onr houses we do not take it as proving
that a long frost is coming, but only that
a hard frost is already there; and we
snsnect that the northerly birds fly
south for precisely the same reasons for
which the robins enter onr houses when
they find the cold insupportable out of
doors.- LiOnaon spectator.
An Artificial Earthquake.
Speaking of an explosion of giant
powder, by whioh several persona were
killed, a San Francisco paper Bays : It
is worthy of note, in a scientific noint of
view, that the stroke of a hammer
driving a nail in a piece of wood, whioh
exploded the giant powder works, also
shook a oity. There is no part of San
Francisco in which the concussion was
not felt, thoogu the works were located
five miles from the center of population,
It is reported that the shook was noticed
at San Jose, fifty miles off. The gener
al effects were precisely similar to those
produced by an earthquake. The di
rection of the motion was not the same
in all plaoes. Topographical elevations
may account for deflections, but the
general movement was north and south.
Here we have a foroe external to tho
earth produoing phenomena precisely
similar to those supposed to emanate
from the interior. The coincidence, to
say the least, is very remarkable. No
one accustomed to earthquakes ex

A Memorable Street In Paris.
It is pleasant to learn, after the topsy

subjected in the past thirty years, that
at least one old street, the Rue de
l'Arbre, in the midst of the capital, and
in the most magnificently transformed
quarter, remains intact, witn its verier
able mansions and traditions of the sev
enteenth century. On this site during
1,200 years strange and terrible soenes
have been enacted. At the point where

JORDAN ASD THE DEAD SEA.
The Hat-red and Famaias Waters of Pales
tier.
The following extract is from " Syrian
Sunshine, " by T. G. Appleton: The
Nile is a sacred river, and the Tiber is
famous, but the most snored and most
famous river of the world is the Jordan.
From the beginning to the end, it has
that mystical character which befits
suoh lofty pretensions; its life is the
most vivid and complete, and its death
the most sudden and mysterious that
can be imagined. It is torrential, and
it leaves the banks of the Hermon and
the many fountains of its tributaries
with an eager precipitation, as if it bore
a mission. From its greatest height,
some hundred feet above the sea level,
it leaps downward till it disappears
in the Dead sea some thirteen hundred
feet below it. It hides itself among
oleander.tamarisk and willow, and many
an unfamiliar Oriental tree, as if wish
ing to keep from profane eyes the secret
of its errand. It does not stop long to
overflow its banks and fertilize the val
ley, for it has a purpose too mystical to
waste itself even upon acts of benevo
lence. It is only willing to beoome a
living barrier between the desert tribes
and the favored nation which loved it.
No boat lives on its bosom. No fisher
men dwell by its margin; but it moves,
one headlong column of saored waters
from its cradle of snow and cloud, high
in the heaven, till it dies in a fatal lake
marked by the finger of God, and for
ever a subject for man's ouriosity and
reverence.
It would seem a thing apart and not
to be confounded with vulgar waters,
which lose their personality in the bosom
of the mighty sea, but exhaling to
heaven like some holy messenger
who perished in the fulfillment of bis
duty. Its birth and its death alike
separate it from its sister rivers of
earth, and only the voiceless mounds
of perished and nameless cities, tribes
stationary as if bidden to halt by some
supreme destiny of the past,or the awed
and questioning stranger from the many
Christian lands whose baptism drew its
authority from the sprinkling of its
waters, are seen upon its banks.
And then we wandered through many
whispering reeds, through a kind of
jungle where sterility and the river had
fought for mastery, and which showed
traces of both; a tangle of bushes as it
were, fighting their way up, and great
spaces oi barrenness which the Bummer
would scorch to lifelessness.
And at last the Dead sea. Though
we know that it is of volcanic origin.
and fed by mines of salt, the imagina
tion now, as ever, is content to see in it
a thing accursed. There was a fresh
breeze; and a reluotant lift and heavy
tumble cf its tiny breakers made them
unlike other waves, bnt rather like
those of Dante's Infernal sea. There
was a breath heavy with doom in the
air, and we were fortunate it was not
more stifling. Was it the breath of
those lost or tortured there ? And be
neath that saline pheet, did we not see,
as in the picture of Delacroix, the ago
nizing and twisted figures of the con
demned ?
we did not bathe in the Dead sea.
Others have done so, and report of its
buoyancy the same tales that are told of
our own Halt lake. There is a whimsi
cal coincidence in the geographical re
lation of the Dead sea and the home of
the earlier prophets, and Mr. Brigham
loung s personal continuation of the
old dispensation, with a private Dead
sea of his own, in his immediate neigh'
borhood. The poorest swimmer keeps
his head above water; and persons have
said to me that their legs seemed to fly
up from under them. All speak of its
waters as refreshing after the great
heat of that tropical valley. Birds are
said never to fly over it, which is the
merest superstition, for they are really
often seen to do bo. This lake certainly
has a brand upon it, as of divine ven
geance. The waters are heavy with
sin. the shores around blessed, and the
very site of destroyed cities upon its
banks unknown. And here are still seen
the apples of Sodom, smooth and pretty
to the eye and touch, of a pale yellow,
like a small orange, but within, as
Josephua says, still retaining the ashes
of Sodom in living perpetuity of the
divine punishment. They are like lit
tle oranges to the eye and touch, but
when pressed are like oak apples, and
explode like these, a pun of air leaving
the shell hollow, with only a slender
pouch holding fine filaments like silk,
which the Arabs use as matches for
their gnns.

" Well, I don't want to brag, bnt t
think I've got the boss stove. Ho far

tons of ooal and the stove has kept three

" Yon must have a poor stove," re
marked the second. " I have burned

" Well, when yon come to stoves,"
quietly remarked the third, ' I claim to
