Tjie Detroit Free Tress publishes the following extract from si book on " The Hair, its Growth, Care ami treatment," recently published by a medical man in that city: The people of Paris and London alone use twenty car loads of other people's hair. Convents usually furnish large amounts for the French, Spanish and Italian markets, and it is known to the trade as " church hair." The prices of hair range from five dollars to twenty cents a head, though the finest of golden hair will bring two dollars an ounce, white hair five dollars an ounce. In such cases a head of hair is worth from twenty-fiv- e to fifty dollars. Some na- tionalities have a peculiar odor in their hair; the Chinese hair lias a musky smell, and the odor of violets has been detected in one or two instances. The dealers detect the quality mainly by the touch, can tell whether its color. is dyed or bleached, and whether it comes from the living or the dead. As a rule hair-growe- rs are a degraded race whose riches consist not in their flocks, but in their own fleeces, which they never pin up or comb, but wear iu closely-fittin-g caps. The enormous strength of the hair is hardly appreciable. A. healthy single hair will support four ounces. A single head of hair in an audience of 200 peo- ple will support the entire audience; and the hair of all the people in Detroit would support a load which would re- quire 5,000 locomotives to draw, and the hairs "of the people of the globe would support a planet against the gravity of the earth. Samson's hair was evidently a fitting emblem of his strength. The shape of the hair, looked at as one would look at the end of a stick of candy, is an oval in the European and light-haire- d races, and in the Semitic races more or less angular. The hair of the negro is elliptical or kidney-shape- d; it hat- - no central canal, and will "felt.'-Th- c European's will not; bujalthcragh the negro's hair, as a wntle, seems coarse, perhaps on ac- cost of its curliness, a competent ob-scr- er avers that the individual hairs ,liis race are finer than the hairs of 'i European. The curl in the negro's J is caused by effect, during thou-- i ts of years, of a hot sun, which has d upon it like a perpetual crimping- - 3 the smallucss of a sje hair, the hair on the heads of the sle of Detroit would make a foot- -t 12 inches wide aud 600 miles in eth. In spite of the contrary son, the hair of men is finer than zof women, whether the coarsest a hair is compared with the coareest ile hair, or the finest male hair the finest female hair; the finest sbeing found among civilized Na-- 5.

In pure golden yellow hair there is only the yellow pig- ment; in red, the red mixed with vel-lo- in dark, the black mixed with "red and yellow; in the hair of the negro there is as much red pigment as in the reddest hair, and had not the black been most developed perhaps by the action of the sun the hair of all negroes would be as fiery a red as the reddest hair of anEuglislfman. There are Fewer yeliow or light-hair-- d people than" dark-haire- d even among the Caucasian race. The blondes aro disappearing. A greater proportion of light-haire- d women live unmarried and die childless than the dark. Dark-haire- d women have three chances of marriage to two of the .light-haire- d. "Just what tort of phi- losophy induces the sterner sex to talk so much to and of blondes," says the author, "and when it comes to the actual business phase of life, to propose to the brunettes, is entirely beyond my comprehension." The blonde-haire- d are most prone to consumption, cancer and cataract, brown-haire- d least so; brown-haire- d people are subject to acute rheumatism, heart disease, salt-rheu- m; red-haire- d to pleurisy, pneu- monia, ague and neuralgias; blonde or light color haired to skin diseases. The blonde or auburn haired arc tender- hearted and easily imposed upon, and usually delicate and refined; red-haire- d people are firm in their convictions, great lovers of their country, people and church, like the Scotch, but when their hair is coare and harsh they are brutal and sensual; the black-haire- d are positive and powerful, very good or very bad; the brown-haire- d, as a rule, furnish the philanthropists, the painters, musicians, authors Homer, Viriril, Haphael, Titian, Handel, Mozart, Tasso, Chaucer, Hums, Keats, Long- fellow, Lowell, Whittier, aud hosts of others.

Now and then, while we rested, we watched the laborious ant at his work. I found nothing new in him certainly nothing to change my opinion of him. It seems to me that in the matter of in- tellect the ant must be a strangely over- rated bird. During many summers now I have watched iiim. when I ought to have been in better business, and I have not yet come across a living ant that seemed to have any more sense than a dead one. I refer to the ordi- nary ant, of course; I have had no ex- perience of those wonderful Swiss and African ones which vote, keep drilled armies, hold slaves and dispute about religion. Those particular ants may be all that the naturalist paints them, but I am persuaded that the average ant is a sham. I admit his industry, of course; he is the hardest-workin- g crea- ture in the world when anybody is looking but his lcathcr-headednus- s is the point I make against him. He goes out foraging, he makes a capture, and then what does ho do? Go home? No; he goes anywhere but home. He doesn't knowwhere home is. His home may be only three feet away; no matter, he can't find it He makes his capture, as I have said; it is generally something which can bo of no sort of use to himself or anybody else; it is usually seven times bigger than it ought to be; he hunts out the awkwardest place to take hold of it; ho lifts it bodily up in the air by main force, and starts not toward home, but in the opposite direction; not calmly and wisely, but with a frantic haste which is wasteful of his strength; he fetches up against a pebble, and instead of going around it, he climbs over it backwards, dragging his booty after him, tumbles down the other side, jumps up in a passion, kicks the dust oft his clothes, moistens his hands, grabs his property viciously, yanks it this way, then that, shoves it ahead of him a momeiit, turns tail and lugs it after him another moment, gets madder and madder, then presently hoists it into the air and goes "tearing away in an entirely new direction; comes to a weed; it never occurs to him to go around it No; he must climb it, and he does climb it, dragging his worthless property to the to which is as bright a thing "to do as it would be for me to cany a sack of flour from Heidelberg to Paris by way of Strasbtirr steeple; when he gets up there he finds that that is not the place; take a cursory glance at the scenery, aud either climbs down again or tumbles down, and starts off once more as usual, in a new direction. At the end of half an hour ho fetches up within six inches of the place he started from, and lays hi burden down. Meantime he has been over all the ground for two yards around, and climb- ed all the weeds and pebbles he came across. . Now he wipes the sweat from his brow, strokes his limbs, and then marches aimlessly off, in as violent a hurry as ever. Ho traverses a good deal'of zig-za- g country, and by-and-- by stumbles on his same boot again. He does not remember to have ever seen it before; he looks around to see which is not the way home, grabs his bundle and starts. He goes through the same adventures he had before, finally stops to rest, and a friend comes along. Evidently the friend remarks that a last year's grasshopper leg is a very noble acquisition, and inquires where" he got it. Evidently the proprietor does not remember exactly where he did get it, but thinks he got it "around here some- where." Evidently the friend contracts to help him freight it home. Then, with a judgment peculiarly antic (pun not intentional), they take hold of opposite ends of that grasshopper leg and begin to tug with all their might in opposite directions. Presently they take a rest, and confer together. They decide that something is wrong, they can't make out what. Then they go at it again, just as before. Same result Mutual recriminations follow. Evidently each accuses the other of being an They warm up, and the dispute ends in a fight They lock themselves together and chew each other's jaws for a while; then they roll and tumble on the ground till one loses a horn or a leg and has to haul off for repairs. They make up and go to work again in the same old insane way, but the crippled ant is at a disad- vantage; tug as he may, the other one drags off the booty and him at the end of it. Instead of giving up, he hangs on and gets his shins bruised against every obstruction that comes in the way. By-and-- when that grass- hopper leg has been dragged all over the same old ground once more, it is finally dumped at about the spot where it originally lay. The two perspiring auts inspect" it thoughtfully ana decide that dried grasshopperlegs are poor sort of property after all, and then each starts off in a different direc- tion to see if he can't find an old nail or something else that is heavy enough to afford entertainment and at the same time valueless enough to make an ant want to own it Mark Twain's" A Tramp Abroad."

Dr. Jtidumtson, in Good Words. Keeping Up With the Fashions. Now, it is very important that pco-- 1 pie should know just how to comport themselves at table. Of course fashion changes as much in table etiquette as in anvthing eUe, and it would be very humiliatinir for a person to find that he or she waseating dinner in last year's style; and in order that this may bo avoided. Harper's lluzar has kindly inv. en a code that will enable even the most ignorant to eat according to the latest fashion. Of course tho old idea that people go lo the table to satis- fy their hunger, has long since been exploded. "When liqueurs nre hand- ed with the ices," says the litiznr, "young ladies are not expected to take them Young ladies are at a manifest disadvantage :is far as wines are con-- cerued. A vonng lady," continues the busy It, "should not drink than half a glass of sherry with soup or nh, one grass of champagne during crmlier, ana i,:lif sl gi!is, 0f sherry at dessert." If a young lady desires to indulge more freely in wine she must get married. "A married lady may drink a glass and a half of champagne during dinner, a glass of sherry at soun and half a ghiss of sherry at dessert." She ought to say, "Only half a glass, please, when the wine is offered to her. The Bazar neglects to state a fact well known in higher circles, that if the person really wants more than half a glass a wink must be tipped to the waiter at the moment the glass is asked for. It is to be hoped that persons out- - side the pale of fashionable society will not imagine that knives and forks and fingers are to be used indiscriminately. Far otherwise. "Use a gold ico spoon with ices, a knife and fork with pears and apples; a spoon a melon; strawberries and cream with spoon and fork; strawberries alone are taken by the stem and dipped in powdered sugar; served with cream they are eat- en with a spoon; dessert cake is broken by the hands and eaten piecemeal, and grapes, gooseberries, etc., are taken in the lingers." At free-lunc- h stands or penny restaurants these rules may be ignored. Detroit tree fress. Feats of Engineering. New York must have quicker com munication its suburbs.

Mani stories are told of the mnnner iu which the first discoveries: of gold in California were turned to account by ingenious speculators, and among them arc the following: In one district the gold-du- st was niNed with large quanti- ties of line black sand, whieh the miners most of whom were raw hands blew off from the gold in their :iu-ie- tv to arrive at the ore itself. keen old man turned their impatience to ac- - count bv shamming lameness, and pre- - tending that in his weakly state he was not equa1 to the toil 01 mining, and ws thus compelled to resort to the poor and profitless branch of gathering the black sand, which he .sold as a substi- tute for emery. Housed to go about on an evening with a large bag and a tin tray, requesting the miners blow their black sand upon it. and returning with to his hut. IJy lhe aid of quick- - silver he was able to extract the gold, double in quantity to that which was obtained by the hardest-workin- g miner at the washings. Tricks of every kind were played upon new-come- rs in search of the gold- en treasures. One story is told of .some American associates who had been working at an unprofitable spot, put ting up a notice that their " valuable j,, w for were elsewhere. A few Hermans who had just arrived offered themselves as pur- chasers. The price asked was exorbi tant, the proprietors stated that the "diggings" returned a large amount of gohf, and the following dav was ap- - ,Mlintclj for thc Germans to come mid j wouW comt, to ,j ,,t M a nallIni U(.- - 1 nnaU wh .,, , r .,, .. ,,., . ..

THE HAIR:Ita flrtmlh, Nlrength and Colni Peculiar

'lorrl Hulr, Etc.Tjie Detroit Free Tress publishes the

following extract from si book on " TheHair, its Growth, Care ami treatment,"recently published by a medical man inthat city:

The people of Paris and London aloneuse twenty car loads of other people'shair. Convents usually furnish largeamounts for the French, Spanish andItalian markets, and it is known to thetrade as " church hair." The prices ofhair range from five dollars to twentycents a head, though the finest of goldenhair will bring two dollars an ounce,white hair five dollars an ounce. Insuch cases a head of hair is worth fromtwenty-fiv- e to fifty dollars. Some na-tionalities have a peculiar odor in theirhair; the Chinese hair lias a muskysmell, and the odor of violets has beendetected in one or two instances. Thedealers detect the quality mainly by thetouch, can tell whether its color. is dyedor bleached, and whether it comes fromthe living or the dead. As a rule hair-growe-rs

are a degraded race whoseriches consist not in their flocks, but intheir own fleeces, which they never pinup or comb, but wear iu closely-fittin-g

caps.The enormous strength of the hair is

hardly appreciable. A. healthy singlehair will support four ounces. A singlehead of hair in an audience of 200 peo-ple will support the entire audience;and the hair of all the people in Detroitwould support a load which would re-quire 5,000 locomotives to draw, andthe hairs "of the people of the globewould support a planet against thegravity of the earth. Samson's hairwas evidently a fitting emblem of hisstrength.

The shape of the hair, looked at asone would look at the end of a stick ofcandy, is an oval in the European andlight-haire- d races, and in the Semiticraces more or less angular. The hairof the negro is elliptical or kidney-shape- d;

The Unreasonable Ant.

Now and then, while we rested, wewatched the laborious ant at his work.I found nothing new in him certainlynothing to change my opinion of him.It seems to me that in the matter of in-

tellect the ant must be a strangely over-rated bird. During many summersnow I have watched iiim. when I oughtto have been in better business, and Ihave not yet come across a living antthat seemed to have any more sensethan a dead one. I refer to the ordi-nary ant, of course; I have had no ex-

perience of those wonderful Swiss andAfrican ones which vote, keep drilledarmies, hold slaves and dispute aboutreligion. Those particular ants may beall that the naturalist paints them, butI am persuaded that the average ant isa sham. I admit his industry, ofcourse; he is the hardest-workin- g crea-ture in the world when anybody islooking but his lcathcr-headednus- s isthe point I make against him. He goesout foraging, he makes a capture, andthen what does ho do? Go home? No;he goes anywhere but home. Hedoesn't knowwhere home is. His homemay be only three feet away; no matter,he can't find it

He makes his capture, as I have said;it is generally something which can boof no sort of use to himself or anybodyelse; it is usually seven times biggerthan it ought to be; he hunts out theawkwardest place to take hold of it; holifts it bodily up in the air by mainforce, and starts not toward home, butin the opposite direction; not calmlyand wisely, but with a frantic hastewhich is wasteful of his strength; hefetches up against a pebble, and insteadof going around it, he climbs over itbackwards, dragging his booty afterhim, tumbles down the other side,jumps up in a passion, kicks the dustoft his clothes, moistens his hands,grabs his property viciously, yanks itthis way, then that, shoves it ahead ofhim a momeiit, turns tail and lugs itafter him another moment, gets madderand madder, then presently hoists itinto the air and goes "tearing away inan entirely new direction; comes to aweed; it never occurs to him to goaround it No; he must climb it, andhe does climb it, dragging his worthlessproperty to the to which is as brighta thing "to do as it would be for me tocany a sack of flour from Heidelberg toParis by way of Strasbtirr steeple; whenhe gets up there he finds that that is notthe place; take a cursory glance at thescenery, aud either climbs down againor tumbles down, and starts off oncemore as usual, in a new direction.

At the end of half an hour ho fetchesup within six inches of the place hestarted from, and lays hi burden down.Meantime he has been over all theground for two yards around, and climb-ed all the weeds and pebbles he cameacross. . Now he wipes the sweat fromhis brow, strokes his limbs, and thenmarches aimlessly off, in as violent ahurry as ever. Ho traverses a gooddeal'of zig-za-g country, and by-and-- by

stumbles on his same boot again. Hedoes not remember to have ever seenit before; he looks around to see whichis not the way home, grabs his bundleand starts. He goes through the sameadventures he had before, finally stopsto rest, and a friend comes along.Evidently the friend remarks that a lastyear's grasshopper leg is a very nobleacquisition, and inquires where" he gotit. Evidently the proprietor does notremember exactly where he did get it,but thinks he got it "around here some-where." Evidently the friend contractsto help him freight it home. Then,with a judgment peculiarly antic(pun not intentional), they take holdof opposite ends of that grasshopper legand begin to tug with all their mightin opposite directions. Presently theytake a rest, and confer together. Theydecide that something is wrong, theycan't make out what. Then they go atit again, just as before. Same resultMutual recriminations follow. Evidentlyeach accuses the other of being an

They warm up, and thedispute ends in a fight They lockthemselves together and chew eachother's jaws for a while; then they rolland tumble onthe ground till one loses ahorn or a leg and has to haul off forrepairs. They make up and go towork again in the same old insaneway, but the crippled ant is at a disad-vantage; tug as he may, the other onedrags off the booty and him at the endof it. Instead of giving up, he hangson and gets his shins bruised againstevery obstruction that comes in theway. By-and-- when that grass-hopper leg has been dragged all overthe same old ground once more, it isfinally dumped at about the spot whereit originally lay. The two perspiringauts inspect" it thoughtfully anadecide that dried grasshopperlegs arepoor sort of property after all, andthen each starts off in a different direc-tion to see if he can't find an old nailor something else that is heavy enoughto afford entertainment and at the sametime valueless enough to make an antwant to own it Mark Twain's" ATramp Abroad."

The Bazar neglects to state a factwell known in higher circles, that if theperson really wants more than half aglass a wink must be tipped to thewaiter at the moment the glass is askedfor. It is to be hoped that persons out--side the pale of fashionable society willnot imagine that knives and forks andfingers are to be used indiscriminately.Far otherwise. "Use a gold ico spoonwith ices, a knife and fork with pearsand apples; a spoon a melon;strawberries and cream with spoon andfork; strawberries alone are taken bythe stem and dipped in powderedsugar; served with cream they are eat-en with a spoon; dessert cake is brokenby the hands and eaten piecemeal, andgrapes, gooseberries, etc., are taken inthe lingers." At free-lunc- h stands orpenny restaurants these rules may beignored. Detroit tree fress.

Stories From the Mines.

Mani stories are told of the mnnneriu which the first discoveries: of gold inCalifornia were turned to account byingenious speculators, and among themarc the following: In one district thegold-du- st was niNed with large quanti-ties of line black sand, whieh theminers most of whom were raw hands

blew off from the gold in their :iu-ie- tv

to arrive at the ore itself. keenold man turned their impatience to ac--count bv shamming lameness, and pre- -

tending that in his weakly state he wasnot equa1 to the toil 01 mining, and wsthus compelled to resort to the poorand profitless branch of gathering theblack sand, which he .sold as a substi-tute for emery. Housed to go abouton an evening with a large bag and atin tray, requesting the miners blowtheir black sand upon it. and returningwith to his hut. IJy lhe aid of quick- -silver he was able to extract the gold,double in quantity to that which wasobtained by the hardest-workin- g minerat the washings.

Tricks of every kind were playedupon new-come- rs in search of the gold-en treasures. One story is told of .someAmerican associates who had beenworking at an unprofitable spot, putting up a notice that their " valuablej,, w for wereelsewhere. A few Hermans who hadjust arrived offered themselves as pur-chasers. The price asked was exorbitant, the proprietors stated that the"diggings" returned a large amount ofgohf, and the following dav was ap- -,Mlintclj for thc Germans to come mid
