A DARK FUTURE.
The future, in France, at least, is for a dark-haired, people. An Industrious etatistician has been proving it and upsetting all the poets and romantic writers who write of their fair-haired heroines. The statistician says it is the other way about in girls eighty mflrry, while of the fair-haired 73 per rent fnil to •win husbands.
Whether his figures are entirely accurate is doubted, but the fact that darkhaired girls marry in groat numbers when those with golden locks <lo not is not disputed. In that case, the outlook for the future is very dark.
Three hundred .Tears, it !s stated, will suffice for the total extinction of fairlhaired heroines, and the poet who writes of them will be guilty of historical inaccuracy.
