Polaco Cars for Hens.
Ono of tho latest improvements lit tho

car on tho Lackawanna railroad, designed
for tho couvoyauco of llvo fowl. Tho car Is
two feet higher than tho ordluary freight

four feet square, in a scries of eight decks,
with an aisle runiug through it crosswiso
and another ono lengthwise. Tho capa
city of tho car Is front 3,500 to 4,000 fowls,
according to tho season of tho year. Dy
a s) stem of drop decks tho fowls aro
loaded and unloaded at tho bottom ot tho
car, tho sides of which aro of strong wiro
netting, lit which aro tho doors to tho several
compartments. On tho top of tho car iu tho
center is a water tank largo cuough to sup

Thero aro four typo colors of hair wbito,

has been subdivided into sixteen different

Is much In favor, as Is puro black, or what Is
called bluo black. Next to puro whlto hair
tho demand is for hair of tho color of virgin
gold. There nro many In aids madoot hair
colored to meet tho demand with certain
preparations, but they prove unsatisfactory.
Many foolish women liavo Bought to cbango
tho color of their own tresses, but thoy liavo
