' There Is no saving among the working classes. The traditional picture of the "British tar of a century ago, whose ec centric extravagance nu been the source of Inexhaustible laughter for several generations,' would be no unfitting rep resentation of the more prosperous sec tion of Jhe British workmen of the pres ent day. Much has indeed been done in the direction of thrift by the great bene fit societies, but their action hu been greatly checked by the fact that even the best of them Is based upon statistics which' do not command the -confidence of those qualified to fora an opinion of their stability. It ll little to the credit of put governments that, alight legisla tive assistance nu oeen anoraea .to tne only great effort .which has been made by the working men of England to raise themselves permanently above me in fluence uf pauperism. The lire of a collier, of a London Journeyman tailor In the season, or even of an agricultural laborer in the best distriote, is one of more or less lavish expenditure and the idea of Joining a benefit society, much less of laying by money, but rarely enters the mind of these men.,They have no object in doing so In this country. A man who succeeds by his own thrlfOn prOYiaing u-maeu. mux utue income in case or sickness or old age, , is no better a ... off than the man who hu led the life of a Jovial British workman and who, in his hour of need, draws from the parish pay-table In all probability about the same Income which the other has denied himself many a luxury and' enjoyment to procure, xne advantage to a country of a large number el small hoards Is al- most incalculable, as the recent history of Tranee clearly shows.

'Oh 1 I wish it wu Monday. I hate Sunday.

Who that ponders this sub- ject does not feel forebodings u to Bundayof the future t And, u tbe the children of to-day will, to-morrow, hold In their bands the power over these questions of the morals of America, let us be wise enough to implant in their hearts a genulnelove and therefore true reverence for that pearl of all days.

It is stated that the transactions of the British Royal Society, extending over twe hundred yeari, contain no instance of any sudden change in the color of the human balr a circumstance regarded u conclusive that ne such change has ever, occurred, for had it ever been un doubtedly witnessed It is not likely that it would have remained undescrlbed. The most eminent medical writers con- feaa thetaAeleee unaware thai, lrreepee- ttvely or recorded evidence, anything in support of the popular notion on this subject can be adduced ou physiological grounds. It la well known that human hair cannot be injected, using colored fluid, such u a solution of nitrate of silver and a sol anon or roaine, aoes not produoeany change of color except in the portions actually inlmersed. Whether It owes its color to a fixed oil, to a pecu liar arrangement of its constitutional molecules, or to both, it resists decay In a remarkable manner; it resists the ac tion of acids and alkalies, except the strongest, which dissolve It: resists maceration, and even- boiling water unless for a longtime applied and under pressure, when It suffers disintegration and decomposition.
