We carried our child to tho town one day.
The skies were soft and the air was cool.

The sun was catching that lovely l.k.
Such a terrible roar, It shook .lie floor.

Editors' Troubles.
If an editor omits anything,
he
is
lazv. If he sneaks of thino-a as flrv
i X ft
; are, people got angry. If he glosses
over or smooths down the rough
points, he is bribed. If he calls
j things by their proper names, he is j
unlit for the position of an editor. If
! he does not furnish readers with!
jokes he is a mullet. If heis arattla
head, lacking flabilitv. If he con-
deuins the yvrong, he is a good fel-
low, but lacks discretion. If he let
; the wrongs go unmeutioncd. he is a
i coward. If he exposes a public man,
j he does it to gratify spite, is the tool
of a clique or belongs to the "outs.
If he indulges in personalities, he is a
blackguard. If he does not, his pa
per is dull and insipid.
The Growth of the Hair.
There are three reasons why wo
men's hair is longer tban men's:
Firt, she has no hair growth on her
face, and so has a larger supply of
hair-forming material for the scalp;
second, tho diameter of her hair bo
ing larger, it is less liable to break ;
third, being usually ler,s engiged in
mental labor or business worry, she
has a more constant and even supply
of blood to the scalp.
Iu nations
where the fc air of the men is usually
worn hhort, f he fashion of loner hair
in the male is regarded a a piotest
against church and state, and against
general customs, taste, and thought;
in Austria it is unidij a political of-
fens to be so atti ed.
The growth of thy hair is the most
rapid in the young and middle-aged,
aud m' those living an out-door life.
At the age of eighty, if a man live so
lor. g, and if his hair and beard have
been clo.ely trimmed, he has cut off
s'ix and a half inches of hair anuuallv,
or almost thirty feet in all.
The hair is the least destructible
p trt of the body. The hair of the
ancient Tucbans is, after a lapse of
1UUU years,
foui-.d to have survived i
