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-five 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 growers 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-fitting 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-haired races, and in the Semitic races more or less angular. The hair of the negro is elliptical or kidney shaped; it hat- no central canal, and will "felt.'-Thc European's will not; bujalthcragh the negro's hair, as a wntle, seems coarse, perhaps on ac cost of its curliness, a competent ob screr 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 .-withstanding 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. The young woman with long, i golden " locks runs her comb agh 70 miles of hair in the morn land some even have 90 and 10.0 of it.

In pure golden yellow hair there is only the yellow pig ment; in red, the red mixed with vel low; 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-haired even among the Caucasian race. The blondes aro disappearing. A greater proportion of light-haired women live unmarried and die childless than the dark. Dark-haired women have three chances of marriage to two of the .light-haired. "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-haired are most prone to consumption, cancer and cataract, brown-haired least so; brown-haired people are subject to acute rheumatism, heart disease, salt rheum; red-haired 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-haired 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-haired are positive and powerful, very good or very bad; the brown-haired, 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-working crea ture in the world when anybody is looking but his lcathcr-headednuss 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-zag 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 ob structi$aist 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-by, 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 very 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 tho Imsv lu- "r"J. the busy It, "should not drink more 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 I 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 with 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-lunch stands or penny restaurants these rules may be ignored. Detroit tree fress. Feats of Engineering. New York must have quicker com munication with its suburbs.

The third means of communication now being pushed rapidly forward is a tunnel for trains under the Hudson River to Jersey City. There are two tunnels for that part which lies under the river's bed. and they unite in one at each end. This double tunnel is lined with iron plates, and faced with brick three feet thick, lhe clay excavated from the tunnel is used to make the bricks to line it, of whieh more than two thousand are required for each run- ning foot of wall. The interior will be inr" -,fo nn.l lirrhtil rti r- painted white, and lighted with eras. The estimated expense of this work is ten million of dollars. The work goes on day and night; three gangs -of men being employed eight hours each, thus accomplishing three days work every twenty-four hours. All the work is done by the electric light, and thus one great "invention helps another. The total length of the work will be two and a half miles, including the approaches, though only about a mile of this dis tance is under the bed of the river.

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-dust 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 ietv to arrive at the ore itself. A keen old man turned their impatience to ac- 1 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 to blow their black sand upon it. and returning with il 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-working miner at the washings. Tricks of every kind were played upon new-comers in search of the gold en treasures. One story is told of .some I American associates who had been 1 working at an unprofitable spot, put -' ting up a notice that their " valuable , j,, w for . were going elsewhere. A few Hermans who had just arrived offered themselves as pur chasers.
