HAIR DYEING AN ANCIENT ART.
From Cleopatra Down Women Han Re
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.
The aft Of dyeing the hair Is at least
m old as the time of Christ. It was by
resorting to such aids to beauty that Cle
opatra tried to capture Csesax. All
through history ladies of fashion have
tried to improve upon nature by artifi
cially coloring that which St. Paul tells
ns is their glory.
In the heyday of Venice the facile
beauties of the city of the lagoons dyed
their hair a red, to which Titian was not
ashamed to affix his name.
The belle of belles in that day had red
bair not bright red, bnt
with glints of crimson. More recently
almost in onr own time a rage arose for
bright blond hair, as to which there was
tradition that it had been popular with
the Of reek hetairae.
Blond beads blocked the thorough-
rarest and young ladies of good repute
. did not disdain to employ the dyer until
his services were monopolized by another
class. In our day the popular color is a
bright shade of auburn the blond cen-
dre of the boulevardsand silly girls go
through martyrdom to impart that tint
to their locks. For the popularity of
blond bair the argonaut hnda this ex
cuse, that it is rarer than black or brown
bair and finer. Everybody knows that
the legend f the golden fleece was sug
gested by the ardor with which Jason
and other Greek connoisseurs pursued
the blond haired maidens cf Colchis.
Almost all bair dyes consist of sulphur
' and acetate of lead, both of which are
injurious to so delicate a plant as human
hair. A steady course of either will im
pair the vitality of the hair papilla and
may destroy the medulla altogether.
Women who bleach their hair use per
oxide of hydrogen, which after a time
imparts an nnnatnral and wiglike luster
to the hair. . A more dangerous dye still
has for its basis nitrate of silver.
When this is used, the hair is first
washed with eulphnret of potassium.

THE THREE CHUMS,
When I was in college I bad two very
dear friends, Mnrsdcn and Masterson.
We were always together, despite the
fact that there could hardly have been
fotind anywhere in tho world three men
whose ideas on most subjects so radically
differed. Perhaps it was tho intvlloctuitl
pleasure we derived from debating
among ourselves, with an acrimony only
possible among the fastest of friends, the
pros and cons of every question that
came up that was the bond of our union.
W hatever the bond was, we were cer
tainly inseparable, and I think, on that
last night in New Haven, when after
four years of most intimate association
we parted, each to walk alone his path
through life, there were three very tear
stained pillows beneath our respective
heads before Morpheus claimed our alle
giance. I know that I for one was com
pelled to change mine, so saturated did
it become with those salt evidences of a
sincere griof which were copiously shed
by my eye that night
The parting between Marsden and
Masterson and myself was geographical

When aa Elephant Ia Craay.
When we present the elephant in pos
session of such intellectual gifts as may
be his, there has to be considered the
case of the e'.ephant that, being "must'
a disease akin to frenzy is for a time
bereft of its senses. It is only the male
that suffers from this affliction of insan
ity, but every male is liable to it some
time or other, and unfortunately may be
attacked by it without warning of any
kind.
Some menof long experience, of ele
phant Keeping say that the "must" con
dition is preceded by premonitory symp
toms, and if taken in time may, by diet
and treatment, be averted; but, without
presuming to contradict those better in
formed people, I can aver that I have
known some of them to be taken by sur
prise by the sudden "musting" of ele
phants under their own immediate super,
vision.
Some elephants become . demons of
. cruelty when "must," as, for example, a

Vowels tn the Hawaiian Tongue.
The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and a few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
"naauao," the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means "enlighten." Bonble vow
els are very frequent, tut never a diph
thong. 'Three vowels are not uncom
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found nnseparated by conso
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
a fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian, In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the con
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar. Wash
