ITalr as a Cleansing Agent.
That the hair covering the body oi
an animal or tne nead ol a unman be
ing serves the purposes of warmth and
protection is manifest, but ono would
hardly expect to And that it also actt
aa a cleansing agent. This, however,
appears to be the fact. The minute
scales which cover the outer portion ol
a hair are fastened at one edge and free
Bt the othor, and the free edges ho in
the direction awr.y from the skin. The
surface of a hair, therefore, is like that
of a piece of fur or cloth covered with
nap ; rubbed from root to tip it is
found to be smoother when rubbed in
the eppoBite direction. This being the
case, it is evident that particles of
matter in contact with the hair must
find their direction of easiest motion
to lie toward the tip end of the hair
and away from its root. Ho, by virtue
of the peculiar structure of its surface
the hair serves gradually to remove
from the skiu which it covers all for
eign particles which may have found
lodgment there. The oily secretion,
emanating from the follicle of the
hair probably assists this aotion by
gathering up the line particle of ex
traneous dust and of scales from the
kin, aud thus enabling the hair to re
tain them, so to speak, in the grasp of
its enrious system of brushes. Every
movement of the hair, however pro
duced, must tend to set the particle
ticking upon it in motion, and, a we
have already seen, that motion can be
in only ono direction. New York

It Was iomwhst Barrsn of Espsoiatlf
Important Result. A Ores! Many
Bill Were Introduced, But tho
Ones That Want Through Hot
of Far-Raaohlng Interest.
Th session of tha Pennsylvania Legisla
ture tist ended was somewnat barren of es
pecially Important results, While largo
number of hills were Introduced, and mans;
passed gnally, neither those which received
th legislative sanction nor thos which Ml
wr of especially general Interest.
The amended Haker HallSt law work
some Important change, but was not to tho
radical extent Its supporters desired. It and
th hills fixing polling places within tbo
territorial limits of th election districts,
and forbidlng political committee paying
for naturalisation papers, requiring lec
tors lo yota where domiciled and making
election days legal half holidays, are tho
principal measures of a political character.
. Tne labor legislation was practically In
cluded In the amended Factory Inspection,
Compulsory Arbitration, and Antl Pinker
ton bills, and the revised llitumliioti Mine
Ventilation law. Thn first Saturday ia
(September was made Labor Day.
There was a great deal of school legisla
tion, and erhaps the most Important hill
of the sets-Ion was the Farr Free Text Rook,
bill, with Irs accompanying appropriation
of s.'too.iiito for the purchase of books. Oth
ers worthy nf not are those regulating tho
salaries of county stiieriiilnndeiits prohibit
ion them for eng-igiii in leaching, except
Srntuiioiisly, prohibiting member of
oardsof school control irom holding sal
aried positions miller tbe boards; giving
graduates f chartered colleges thn same
rights to teachers' permanent certificate
etioyed by normal school graduates, and
authorising clues and boroughs not divided
Into wards lor school purposes to maintain
high schools. The salary nf the State Su
perintendent of Instruction waa also
increased from 2,.VSl(i ll.no).
The re equipment of tha National Ouard

making sums Important clianxes was past
ed. A naval militia was also established.
An Industrial home for soldiers' orphan
was created, with .111 appropriation for its
erection, and ilia law governing the Soldier

externum! the right of admission to soldier
of other States who have lived five yrar In
Pennsylvania. Fraternal societies war de
fined arid regulated, and a separate bill was)
I isssed in relation to tb benefits paid by
hem.
The main hills sfTectlng th agricultural
interest were those creating th oftlc of
Dairy and Fiki I Commissioner and that pro)
Piloting th use of oleniararliie in institu
tions receiving Hint aid. The appropriation
fnr tha salary and expenses of thn Dairy
and Food Commissioner was defeated, con
sequently th law is practically nugatory
urirll the next session The two things In
which the fsrmers wer really Interested
were the additional appropriation of another
million dollars annually fur publio school
and tb bill changing the method of elect
ing member of th State Hoard of Agricul
ture. Hntli nf these were lost on the last
nighl of the session, and lost by th filibus
tering by representatives of th rural coun
ties, who were sppsrently willing to defeat
measures In wup-h their own constituent
wer interested in order to defeat those
which they thought would benefit people to
whom they were opposed.
Among other lesdip-t measure passed
and which lik thos enumerated above
have received the Governor's approval. wer
the following: F.stsblishing Sta'e Hoards o(

(iovernor. He has also approved tha Setur
oav Half Holiday bill.
There are nearly 20O bills yet in tb hand
of the Uovernor, most of which r appro
priation bill, and will likely be disposed of
rapidly. Hie Kxcellency has :K) day In
which to approve or veto tha measure left
over, and there will probably be delay with
rgsrd to many of th mora important gen
eral billa. Among these are the Haker Bal
lot and Ueneral Appropriation bills, tbe
IJiiarantiue law. tbe bill establishing an
emergency fund of II ',0 for use by tho
