It li bo common a sub stance, and exhibit such a meager In formation to the unaided vision, that few people suspect It to be worthy of prolonged attention. Yet ench hair of the human body Is a wonderful growth, foil of curious details. The hairs of nnlmals differ so con alderably, one from the other, that a pmctlced inlcroscoplst can determine, upon viewing n slnglo hair handed to him for Inspection, from what crea ttiro It had been plucked. The hair of tho human specimen sprouts from a tiny pit formed In tho skin. Its so- called root Is really a greasy bulb, 00 cupying me caviiy reierreu 10, hko an egg-shaped ball of fat, from which arises a tube with a sharp and well defined shell, as It were, terminating at Its utmost extremity In a point. This tube Is filled for the greater part of its length with a pulpy matter, which may bo compared with pith In plant stnlks, although, scientifically regarded, It Is of a totally different nature. The va ried color of hair Is due to Interior de posits In tho form of Invisible grains of pigment, or natural paint, and It Is through the loss of this matter that hair becomes gray, In which case tho hair may be likened to a semi-transparent, glassy tube, A very marvolous clrcumstanco In connection with human hair lies In the fact that Its outer surface Is not smooth, as generally supposed. It Is actually completely covered with In credibly minute scales In n similar manner to tho wfngs of butterflies and tho bodies of fishes that Is to soy, these lnvlslblo slabs overlie one an other precisely as do the tiles of a bouse. This statement may be veri fied readily by detaching n hair from a lady's head by preference and whllo holding the opposite ends In both hands, so that It becomes stretched and taut, dragging It across tho tender sur face of ono's lips. When drawn In tho direction In which tho scales Ho tho hair feels qulto smooth; but If moved In tho oppbslto direction 11 distinctly notlceablo rasping 1b felt ns the edges of tho scnlcH hitch against tho flesh, i Scores on Innurance Men. "Insurnuco adjusters nro about as clever aud 'smooth' as any class of men to bo found," said an old-time merchant tho other day. "Their logic Is always oiled and ready to run without tho least friction. Once, however, ono of tho tribe got slipped up on. Ills logic got sidetracked on n dcrnllliiK twitch. I was running a country storo which' was destroyed by Arc. Tho adjuster came along and then cnuio tho brittle to get a settlement satisfactory to both aides. We were going over tho Items burned In the bnscment. 'Now, what lso was there?' asked tho adjuster. " There were twenty bushels of po tatoes which I pnld 29 cents a bushel for, but at tho time they were worth 80 cents a bushel.' '"Hold on,' said the Insurance man. 'We're only paying you for what you lost No Inflated values go. They cost you 8. What elso?' "There were four barrels of apples which had rotted on my bands and I was going to throw out that day. Tho Are prevented It They wercn'f worth a cent but they cost me $3 a barrel.' 'Tho adjuster snw be was caught Without batting an eye, ho wrote, 'Four barrels of apples at $3 a barrel, 112. What elso?' "Kansas City Times. . Uosra and Men, 'The average dog Is better than tho arerago man," says tho Grecnlcaf Sen- final "TV a rincv n fnvol nnil 1ia will never forget It He will be your life- long frlCnd thereafter.

Get Into trouble and many will verbally sympathlzo with you, but only a few will show their friendship In a sub stantial manner. If a man Is not a true friend, there Is very little real nobility In his makeup. The more we sco of some men, the rooro wo think of dogs,' as Madame de Stacl said." Kansas City Journal.

Miss Sharp At least, dear, It's a comfort to know the poor beast has plenty of room. Baltimore American. Scarcity. "One has very few friends In this life," said the misanthrope, "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "I suppose that Is one reason why a friend Is so likely to be overworked." Wash ington Star. Uncle Bkea.
