Great Grief asul Head Slinvinp
Among tho ancients shaving the haa 1
was a very common mode of express
ing great grief or sorrow Sometimes
it was done by the priest or some other
religious functionary formally cutting
off the hair sometimes by violently
plucking It out by the roots In ex
treme cases among men the beard as
well as the hair was either cut oil or
plucked out The Idea seems to have
been that mourners should divest them
selves of that which under ordinary
circumstances was considered most
beautiful ornamental and becoming
Lucian and he is not the only one of
the ancient writers by any means who
gives points on this queer mourning
custom says that the Egyptians ex
pressed their intense sorrow by cutting
oil the hair upon the death of their wil
Apis and that the Syrians acted in the
same manner at the death of Adonis
Olympiodorus remarks cancerning
Job i 20 that the ancients among
whom long hair was reganled as an or
nament cut it off in times of mourn
ing but that those who commonly
wore it short suffered it upon such oc
casions to grow long
Irish Surnames
There is a magnificent sonority in
the names of MacGiollamoholinoge
MacGulshenan MacOiraghty ODoo
yarma OTIowley OQuigley OMuI
clohy and OMulmoghery Many of
the names are extinct but a large pro
portion are still in evidence and what
Is more in nearly every ease the fam
ilies beariTio them are to be found
in the same localities formerly inhab
ited by tliem Dohertys in Donegal
Driscolls in Cork Maederniotts in Con
naught Meaghers in Tippernry and
OSuIlivans in Cork and Kerry It is
a notorious fact that many of the fam
ilies which have come to be regarded is
typically Irish are of alien extraction
Thus the Flunketts are of Danish ori
gin the Burkes Dillons Roches IIus
seys and all the tribe of Fitz are
Anglo Norman while the Mitchells are
English London Spectator
A Tooth
A tooth is a living structure Inside
of each tooth is a cavity Oiled with
pulp which gives it life Nerves and
blood vessels connect this pulp with
the general system and circulation of
the body The ivory surrounding the
pulp is covered over by a surface of
enamel Doth ivory and enamel are
harder than any other bones because
they contain a greater quantity of bone
earth Enamel on the tops of the teeth
is one sixteenth of an inch thick It
consists of little six sided prisms
placed side by side and held together
by an exquisitely fine cement The
pulp of the tooth becomes diseased and
toothache follows Tartar is a secre
tion made by three glands in the
mouth full of small living organisms
which assimilate matter in the saliva
and deposit it on the teeth in the shape
of phosphate of lime
Living Mummies
Living mummies exist in Tibet near
Gyangtse at a spot the name of which
in English may be rendered as the
Cave of Happy Misery There are
about twenty small caves in the solid
rock each built up in front with stones
and mortar They have padlocked
doors tiny drains and small holes
just sufficient for a man to pass his
hand through In these cells men are
buried for life with the idea of thus
attaining merit Once interned they
are in extreme cases never seen again
by mortal eye Even the hand which
they stretch forth froin the small hole
for their daily dole of food is covered
by a glove They speak to no one and
no one speaks to them Even their
death is only made known when they
fail for several days to stretch out the
hand for food
Persian Way o Entiupr Watermelon
The ordinary Persian bill of fare
sounds something like the banquets de
scribed In fairy tales said a man who
has spent some time in the orient
While traveling in that country I
found that the best overture to a way
side repast is a watermelon not cut
in slices as is done in this country
but eaten like an egg one end being
cut off and the contents eaten with a
vooden spoon the roseate fluid tric
kling all the time to the bottom and af
fording a fragrant drink when the first
course is over
The Potato
The potato Is one of the most valu
able plants Ave have Besides being
one of the most necessary articles of
food it has a variety of other uses
A great quantity of the starch used in
our laundries is made from it and aft
er the starch has all been separated
from the pulp what is left is used in
the manufacture of boxes From the
stems and leaves of the plant a fluid
that produces sleep is made In many
places bread cake and puddings are
made of potato flour
