Excerpt from The New Practical Reference Library, Vol. 3
By the beginning of the nineteenth century, elaborate hair dressing for men had entirely gone out of fashion, and in most countries the hair was worn short. In the early part of the century women dressed the hair very simply, letting it fall at the sides in a series of ringlets and catching it at the back of the head with a ribbon. This was gradually superseded by an arrangement of the hair at the top of the head. During this period the hair was often arranged over a large roll, in a style known as the chignon, or waterfall. The tendency during the last half century among civilized people has been toward simplicity in hair dressing.
Hair Dyes, substances for giving hair some particular color. The numerous preparations sold for this purpose have generally a basis of lead or nitrate of silver. Bismuth, pyrogallic acid, sulphur, the juice of green walnut shells and other astringent vegetable juices are also employed. Hydrogen peroxide will bleach the hair. The use of dye is more or less in jurions.

The Mexican hairless dog is the one most commonly seen in the United States. This resembles the common rat terrier in size and shape, but has a skin of bronze-purple color, with only here and there a few hairs. Other species of hairless dogs are found in the Oriental countries, in the Philippine Islands, the Bahamas and elsewhere. In ancient Mexico a breed of hairless dogs was raised for their young, which were considered delicate food.
Hair Worm, the common name for a number of slender worms which resemble hairs. They are found as internal parasites of beetles and other insects during the first stages of their development. When mature, they escape and seek the water of pools, in which their eggs are deposited in the form of lengthened chains. The embryos. Produced from these eggs are able to hook themselves upon insects, which they enter and again become mature worms. It was formerly thought that horsehair put into water would turn into worms. See trichina.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of language, exploring the origins and evolution of words and their meanings. It takes a historical approach, tracing the development of the English alphabet from its Phoenician roots and examining how the letter H has been used and adapted over time. The author delves into the intricacies of digraphs and consonantal combinations, illustrating these concepts with examples from English and other languages. The book also delves into the origins of words and their historical significance, discussing the origins of names like Haakon, the Norwegian royal lineage, and revealing the historical and cultural significance of place names like Haarlem. Beyond the study of language, the book also touches on the themes of human nature, exploring how habit, a key element of our daily lives, can be both a force for good and bad. It discusses how habits form, the impact of habit on character development, and the importance of cultivating positive habits from an early age. By tracing the evolution of language and examining the complex interplay between words, history, and human behavior, the book offers unique insights into the interconnectedness of these seemingly disparate elements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334306945_0
