Between the ages of 15 and 45 a woman can grow about seven crops of hair. It averages about four ounces to the crop and when of the prevailing popular color brings a hagfcdsome price. The total annual crop is estimated at 100 tons, gathered from 800,000 heads. This is not taking into account that which gets into butter, where it does not bring nearly so good a price. A itABGJS blue heron that was preying upon the young fish in the hatchery on Platte River, Colorado, attacked William E. Sisty, the Fish Commissioner, and whipped him terribly. After the first surprise Colonel Sisty rushed in upon the huge heron, seized it by the body, and hurled it to the ground. Then the struggle was soon decided. Colonel Sisty simply held on until the bird

A curious method of swarming bees is practiced in Corsica. During the swarming seasoa a man stations himself in front of the hives with an empty hive on his shoulder. This hive has been rubbed inside and round the border leading to the entrance hole with the rind of a lemon. The man's mouth is filled with lemon juice which he squirts on the swarm. One bee is oertsin to enter the empty hive and the rest to follow. Sib Walter Raleigh took the potato to England from Virginia in 1586,
but it had been carried to Spain from Quito years before that, and taken from Spain to Italy, where it was a common article of food before Raleigh found it in Virginia. It was sent to Flanders from Italy. Its occurrence in Virginia, it is thought, was due to a recent introduction by the Spaniards. There is no proof that it was in cultivation by the aborigines of this country or those of Mexico, Dr. W. J. Beeches, of Auburn Theological Seminary, tell his students that when he began reading religious newspapers there were plenty of leaders of religious thought who were strenuously affirming that, unless the earth and skies were lifted up in their present shape in the space of 144 hours by the clock, the Bible was a lie, and all religion was a fraud. "To-day," he says, "nearlv -everyone is convinced that the process of bringing our system into being lasted through long periods of time, and that this view is entirely consistent with the Bible and with all sacred truths' ' Two Carwhals recently superintended a minute inventory of the contents of the Vatican, from its artistic and literary treasures down to the most trivial articles. The origin, position, and value of every object were set down, and the inventory was signed with all the legal formalities. A copy was handed to each of the Embassadors accredited to the holy see, and even to the Embassadors accredited to the Sing of Italy, including those of powers not having relations with the Vatican. Such a step, it is claimed, is indisputable proof of the Pope having contemplated the possibility of quitting Borne. The late Duke of Buocleuch once had a guest at Dalkeith, who was accompanied bya veryproud servant that is, gentleman in attendance. The haughty stomach of this last-named personage rebelled at being fed at table along with the domestics of Dalkeith, and he told the Duke so, plumply, saying he was not accustomed to mingling with common servants. "Oh, very wcIV replid his Grace, with the utmost complaisance; "just ask your master to let you dine with him and mew You may, for all I care. The exalted gentleman thenceforth ate humble pie at the same table with the "common servants,0 and in silence. Shsb&an was always fci fr&ef Ihe fight, yet never received a scratch, Joe Hooker never sought shelter, yet was never more than scratched. Eillpatrick and Custer went through the war with only a slight wound, although invariably in the heaviest of the leaden showers. Shobelefiwho many a time went at it with his own good sword, and in his white coat and on his own white charger, headed every charge with a recklessness that men called madness, had as complete an immunity as if he carried the charmed life that his soldiers ascribed, and was wounded only in the quiet trenches by a chance bullet fired into the air a mile away. A Fbekch medical man has been talking of the wine question in a new tind original way. "Is it," he asks, "absolutely necessary to drink wine? We can understand why Noah used it vbop we think of the profound disgust
he sau&& have felt for water after e deluge. It M-as natural that a carafe of water should sicken him. But in mating up his first vineyards did consider the coming worries of the phylloxera, of adulterations, of licenses, of taxes, and of temperance orators ? Is he not now looking sadly down upon the curious destiny of the wine he naturally rejoiced over, but which is moving to its center the capital of the civilized world ?" "You must produce a ticket or pay your fare, sir," said the conductor to a tipsy individual who imagined he was a big enough man to ride without either ticket or money. "Don't be too fresh, conductor," the man said; "I own 'er best sloon in our town, I do, and could buy out this 'er one-horse road 'f wonted to. I'm one the best customers this road has, so I am, an guess kin ride on 'er where I wanto, ticket or no tick, by gosh The mazzher with you fels is you git 'er big head an' don't know noshin' 'bout how to treat 'er gen'leman, ye don't. Now, jis make out 'er bill for this ride, give t to tick'-aget at our town, -an when I get home '11 go down bank, draw out." The train stopped, there was a short scuffle in the car, and as the passengers put their heads out the windows they saw a muddy and boozy man in the ditch about twenty feet below the track, spitting sand out of his mouth, and trying to say : "I-cou-could-buy this road if I wanted to, if yer'd jus' give me a chance to go down 'er bank."
Many distinctive articles of dress and personal use have taken their names from noted persons. Thus we have the Derby hat and scarf, the Byron collai, the Wellington boots, the Prince Albert coat, and the Victorine, a peculiar fur cap named after Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth's name is given to a peculiar high lace ruff, and that of Madame Sontag to the comfortable knit jacket so much worn by the ladies in cold weather. Louis Kossuth distinguished his visit to this country by introducing into general use the soft felt hats which were then called Kossuth hats. The Gainsborough hat took
its name from the artist Gainsborough, and the Bubens hat from the great Flemish painter. The names of Mme. Pompadour and Marie Antoinette are associated with peculiar styles of ladies' dress, and that of Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, with a tight-fitting waist now worn by ladies, called the jersey. Brougham gave his name to a species of cab, and Lord Lansdowne is remembered by the Lansdowne collar. Woods and Forest (English) says: Any person, however ill informed, might easily get at the exact height of a tree when the sun shines, or during bright moonlight, by marking two lines on the ground, three feet apart, and then placing in the ground on the line nearest to the sun a stick that shall stand three feet out of the soil. When the end of the shadow of the stick exactly touches the furthest line then also the shadow of the tree will be exactly in length the same measurement as its height Of course in such a ease, the sun will be at an exact angle of 45 degrees. Measurements of this character could be best effected in the summer, when the sun is powerful, has reached to a good heighth in the heavens, and when the trees are clothed with living green so as to cast a dense shadow. To many to whom this idea may not have occurred, it might be made annually a matter of interest
thus on warm summer days to take the height of prominent trees, and so to compare growth from year to year." The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: One of the great sources of loss to the government in the postoffice department is that occasioned by the repeated use of the same postage stamps. The United States authorities have not succeeded in finding an era ser which will be effectual without interfering with the body of the letter or the security of the envelope. Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Felix Walker has, as he thinks, with great show of reason, found the long desired secret, for which he has obtained a patent. His stamps are printed on line tissuepaper, carefully prepared With oil and mucillage. A coating of oil is first spread upon the paper, and before that is dry a coating of mucilage is spread over the oiled paper. The printing is done on the mucilage and shows admirably on the face of the paper. The result is that the. r sips cannot be eradicated and therefore cannot pe used twice. The only way of loosening it is by moistening, and then only the tissue-paper comes off, the printing which is done on the mucilage remaining on the envelope. Mr, Walker affirms that he has carried some of these stamps in his pocket for a whole year and they worked perfectly well when used
How a Bearding House Develops Gall. Botts came down to his breakfast at his boarding house, and looking about at the scantily spread table, put his hand to his head and said : "Everything makes me sick to-day." "Ah," replied the landlady, sympatnetically, "you require a spring tonic." "Yes," said Botts, as he took a cold bean on his fork, "the doctor prescribed one for me the other day." "Indeed! What was it?" "Well, he said for toning an empty stomach there was pot king like a poached egg and a nice mutton chop' From the Boston Budget.
BEANS AM) BIG FISHES. Earns Worth Telling Keeled Oft" by a Sailor Man autl Oriiainontod with a Song:. "Look alive, now!" shouted a redfaced sailor to a waiter in a Water atreet restaurant. "Aye, aye, sir," replied the waiter, taking the captains measure and marking him mentally for a plate of corned beef and cabbage. "Wot shall I bring alongside?" "Bring me a dish of marblehead turkey, and look alive," repeated the customer, who a moment later was deep in the mysteries of baked beans. "That'a a new name for beans, isn't it?" inquired a person at the same table. "My father called 'em so," replied the skipper. "I'm a Beverly man myself, and we consider that our beans lie a trifle closer to the wind when cloe hauled than on the east coast. Beana is the mainstay of tbe New England folks. They talk abaoutlish making brains; I tell ye it's beans. Why, Lord bless ye! Look around here in New York. Look at your prosperous Americans.

Wall, they got struck with contrary winds, and blowed off shore about fifty miles. Along comes one o' these here Cunarders, and seem the schooner flyin' her colors union down in distress, they slows up and sends off a boat, and alter a hard pull in a heavy sea-way they hails the schooner, and the mate sings aout: 'Schooner ahoy! Yre sinkin'?' 'Not quite so bad sings aout the elder, 'but we're aout o' beans. Kin ye let us have a pot?' Wall; they say that that mate nearly bust his windpipe a swearin'. There was poetry writ on that," added the skipper. "By yourself ?" asked his listener. "Wall, 1 tell ye," replied the captain, "between you and me it was writ by a chap by the name of Jumper in the 'Sailors' Own Book,' in Gloucester, but ordinary, when I spin the yarn, it's supposed that I'm the one that writ it. Some o' the lines wants ilin' and overhauling but it's wot they call blank verse. It goes like this : A ship once crossing over t he sea I tell the story 'twas told to me Made a hundred miles or s j from shore, When a craft w. s one cUy seen that bore Her flag reversed, white 'gainst the mast The torn sails fluttered as the Wind rushed past. "Out with the boat!" the captain criei, And the seamen darted over the side; 'Ifceir oars fell n with a regular din, As they rapi ly n eared the silent ship. .

All around on deck the crew were lying, And groaning aloud as tho they were dying; The captain alon on a hen-coop sar, With his face in his hands and a weed on his htfc; He gazed on them all with a blood-shot eye, And the crew looked uo with a hejrt-rending sigh. "Say, why do you raise the flag of distress, And sit around deck in idleness? Are yon out of food? Have you used up your water? Have ycu got the plague? Or what is the matter?" "Wft came from Beverly, and the signal me ins, Thar for full three duys we've been out of beans."

"What was the largest codfish you ever caught?" asked the listener. "Hundred and'four pounds,1 was the reply, "and it was over five foot long. But Capt. Martin, of Gloucester, caught the biggest that. I ever heard of. It weighed, dressed, 111 pounds. I've caught a lobster that weighed twenty pounds, and a horse mackerel weighing 600 pounds. I once tackeled onto the biggest fish in the world1 continued the skipper. "A whale?" asked the other. "A whale ain't a fish," retorted tbe man of the sea. "This one, I reckon, was a devil fish one o these 'ere broadside fellows thirty feet a cross, all beam, and drawin' about six inches. We was lyin' in harbor, when I see a big ripple movin' araound, and thinkin' it a big horse mackerel, I jumps into the boat and gits the lads t pull near it, and when alongside I tossed the iron into it, and.

Horses and cattle get fat upon it, so that ou the battefield there is pasturage in places where before the fight nothing of valua grew.

Philadelphia Times,
A Belie of Sherman's March to the Sea, As we tramped along through the woods of ash, elm, and water-oak, we saw wild ipecac and sweet William growing at the sides of the odd pathwary, and having asked the name of a curious kind of grass, I was delighted at the story that came out "That," said the guide, in answer to our questi n, "is what we call Egyptian clover. We didn't have it before the war, and none of us ever saw it or heard of it before Sherman and Johnson came. The seed was left on the ground by the armies, and now we wouldn't take anythin;? for it." The grass, which has a tiny leaf more like that of the native white than the red clover, grows all rver the hillsides at the edges of the woods, along tbe earthworks, and even forces its way into the tilled fields. In its growth it chokes out other herd
The Westward March from 1 71)8 to 1830.
Nothing in the history of the globe
is so extraord nary in its topographical and moral results as the vast western march of the American people within a 1 1 "W . M
nunurect years, ijet us Iook, lor instance, at the excellent French map of what constituted the northern part
of the United States in 179& The

names of to-day; all beyond is strange.

rar on in umo is a detached region
indicated as "the Connecticut Reserve, conceded to the families who have been ruined during the War of Independ
ence whence our modern phrase
"Western Reserve." The summarv of
the whole map is that the United
States still consisted of the region East
of the Alleghanies, with a few outlying settlements, and nothing more.
Now pass over twentv years. In the
map prefixed to William Darby's Tour
from New York 10 Detroit in 1818
this Darby being the author of an em
igrant s guide, and a member of the
New York Historical Society Ave find
no State west of the Mississippi except
Missouri, and scarcely any towns in In
diana or Illinois. Michigan Territory is designated, but across the whole
western half of it is the inscription,
"This part very imperfectly known."
All bevond Lake Michigan and all
west of the Mississippi is a nameless
waste, except for a few names of rivers
and Indian villages. This marks the
progress and a very considerable
progress of twenty years.
Old men, now or recently living
can recall the long lines of broad-
wheeled wagons, drawn by ten horses,
iortyoi these teams sometimes coming
in close succession ; the stages, six of
which were sometimes in sight at once ; the casualties, the breakdowns, the sloughs of despond, the passengers at work with fence rails to pry out the
vehicle from a mud hole. These sights,
now disappearing on the shores of the
Pacific, were then familiar in the heart
of what is now the east This was the tide flowing westward; while eastward,
on tne otner nana, tnere soon oegan a counter current of flocks and herds sent
from the new settlements to supply the
older states.
Tne group so wen Known m our
literature, the emigrant family, the
high-peaked wagon, the exhausted oxen, this picture recedes steadily in
space as we come nearer to our own
t time. In 1788 it set off with the first
Hudson to ascend the Mohawk river
in loio tne nero or awrie loaa saw
it at Rochester, New York; in 1819 Darby met it near Detroit, Michigan;
in 1824 Flint saw it m Missouri: 1831
Alexander depicted it in Tennessee; in 1843 Margaret Fuller Ossoli sketched
it beyond Chicago, Illinois; in 1856 I myself saw it in Nebraska and Kansas;
in 1864 Clarence King described it in
his admirable sketch, Way -side Pikes,
in California; in 1882 Mrs. Leighton
in her charming letters pictures it at
Puget Sound; beyond which, as it has
reached the Pacific, it can not advance.
From this continent the emigrant
group, in its original form, has almost
vanished; the process of spreading emigration by steam is less picturesque,
tut more rapid.
In the map for 1790 the whole population is on the eastern slope of the
Appalachian range, except a slight spur of emigration reaching westward from
Pennsylvania and Virginia, and a de
tached settlement in Kentucky. The
average depth of the strip of civiliza
tion, measuring back from the Atlantic westward, is but 355 miles. In 1800 there is some densening of population within the old lines, and a western
movement along the Mohawk in New
York State, while the Kentucky oasis
ol! population has spread down into
Tennessee. In 1810 all New York, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky are well
sprinkled with population, which begins
to invade Southern Ohio also, while the Territory of Orleans has a share; and Michigan, Indiana, Hlinois, Mis
souri, the Mississippi Territory in
cluding Mississippi and Alabama are
still almost or quite untouched. In
1820 Ohio, or two-thirds of it, shows
signs of civilized occupation ; and the settlements around Detroit, which so
impressed Darby, have joined those in
Ohio; Tennessee is well occupied, as is Southern Indiana; while Illinois, Wisconsin, and Alabama, have rills of pop ulation adjoining the Indian tribes, not
yet removed, still retarding Southern
settlements. In 1830 Adam aarmn.
istration being now closed Indiana is
nearly covered with population, Illi
nois more than half; there is hardly any unsettled land in Ohio, while Michigan is beginning to be occupied. Population has spread up the Missouri to the North of Kansas River; and, farther south, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas begin ,to show for something. But even in 1830 the centre of population is in Moorefield, Western "Virginia, not yet moving westward at the rate ol more than five miles a year. 1 W Higginson in Harper's Magazine, A skeptical young man one day, conversing with the celebrated Dr. Parr, observed that he would believe nothing which he could not understand. "Then, young man, your creed will be the shortest of any man I know. " Integrity is a virtue which seeks and neods no customer.
Comparative Cost of Living. For a number of years past there has been a general and gr adual increase of personal and household expenses in families of all degrees of wealth and social standing. One by one new wants have arisen, making new and larger demands upon the resources of the pocket. In no other particular is the contrast between the present and the past greater or more marked than in the style and cost of living. The plain, simple, but substantial fare of the "olden time" has been superceded by the production of viands and costly dishes which almost rival the famous feasts of pagan antiquity, when to eat drink and carouse constituted one of the principal objects of life. - Is this increase simply a result of reckless and thoughtless extravagance on the part of the people? or is it one of the enevitable necessities growing out of an advanced civilization? It is usually attributed to the former cause, but a little reflection will convince al
most any mind, we think, that the last-
mentioned cause is really the more po
tent of the two.
The word civilization may be taken
to express or embody the combined re
suits of intellectual and moral growth.
The simplest form of life is the nomadic
or wandering stage of development.
The desert Arab, the American In
dian, as he was before the advent of the white man on this continent, tbe
uneducated pasaqJ;ry in parts of
Europe, and the natives of Africa,
may be instanced as examples of this
class.
xneir range or t nought ana desire is exceedingly limited, their tastes simple
and their wants lew. A tent or rude
hut for habitation, garments enough to
snieia tnem irora climatic cnanges. a
dog or horse for serv ce and companionship, and some kind of weapon for
hunting and fighting, constitute about all they need or caie for as means or instruments of life. To eat, sleep.
hunt, and go to war make up their prin
cipal occupations. Of course, the cost of living in primative stage of development is ceedingly small. The existence use of money with such people
either unknown or very much restricted. But take any one of these classes
designated and pring tnem up into a higher state of civilization, and their personal household expenses will at
once begin to multiply in exact propor
tion to their elevation or advancement
The phuosopy of such a movement would seem to be that the physical
nature of mankind everywhere strives
to keep pace with the improvement in
the upper departments of being.
As new light and knowledge flow in
to the brain and expand and quicken
the feelings, these internal forces of
life seize upon their lower and external concomitants and pull them up to their
own new level.
Consequently, new and varied phys
ical wants arise, wants in regard to eat
ing and clothing, which necessitate an
increased expenditure. And thus the
cost oi living multiplies witn tne area of intellectual acquirement and cultiva
tion of finer and nobler feelings in the
heart.
There is, no doubt, a crreat deal of
unnecessary and wasteful extravagance
m the prevailing methods of American
household life, but all of the present
increased cost of lmna: cannot be laid
to that account. A part of it is the in evitable result of our present ad
vanced civilization. The range of human wants is legitimately much great
er now than fifty or a hundred years

A Parisian Satan.
A matter of continual surprise to an
Englishman who has the luck to gain
admittance to a French aalon is the
truly catholic range of the matters that
mil come under discussion. There is no subject that a Frenchman will not
discuss seriously, and think it is to his
profit to do so, with a frenchwoman.
It might almost be said that there is no
serious subject that in London a man
will discuss thoroughly with a woman;
for, as a rule, he does not hold that he
will increase his stock of ideas by giv
ing himself the trouble. In Paris, men,
whether from vanity or from other rea
sons, taiK tneir vest wnen laaies are
their auditors, and they assuredly seek
the society of women far more from
sympathy with their minds than from
admiration of their outward attractions. Esprit, which is not wit, but has been defined as that "quick perception which seizes the ideas of others easily and returns ready change for them," is, in
truth, what men most prize in women, and, while the mind lasts, not lessened by age.
It has been frequently remarked how
in their old age French men and women
preserve not only their good-humor, but their gayety, to tKe last. This is,
of course; in part dependent on good health, for with them gout and dyspep
sia are not common maladies. But for the cheerfulness of his declining years
a Frenchman will look to the salons of
his friends, and since it has ever been
the custom for intimate society in
France to assemble in the evening, he, after dinner, not being a club man, will
take his hat and cane, to zo out to pay
his visits. In some dimly-lighted salon
an troisiene he will find a welcome
from the circle gathered round the
fireside, where all are habitues, and where each, eschewing the weather and
the discussion of his personal health,
brings forth his remarks on passing
events, and contributes some observa
tion to the common stock, Saturday Review.
