How Hairs Turn Gray and Why Men Get
Baldheaded-" Women.
A barber who dressed a Brooklyn
1 Union reporter’s hair recently had the
i usual conversational ability of the “pro
: session,” but it ran in a different vein,
i He didn’t remark about the weather, talk
I indefinitely of politics, or even suggest
the proper kind of hair restorer the cus
tomer should use, to be had, perforce, of
him.
‘’You have an excellent head of hair,”
i said he.
“Yes,” was the gratified response of
the customer.
“But it is growing gray,” was the next
! remark.
; “Um,” grunted the customer, guessing
i what would next be said; but he was
’ mistaken. There was no suggestion of
hair dye.
“The reason I say so is, because if you
are careful in five years you will have one
i of the finest heads of gray hair a man
i would wish, and I think nothing is finer
than a thick growth of gray hair. It is
not the sign of weakness that many think.
■ Some of the healthiest men in the city
; grew gray young. You mustn’t cut it too
1 often, though.”
“Why not?”
j “Because that will make you bald. It
' is often wondered why men grow bald
' and women do not. Some claim it is be-
cause the men keep their hats on con
i stantly and so overheat their heads, while
wumtiu wear light hats. This is incor
, rect. .Men keep their hats on very little
more titan women. The trouble is the
men generally' have their hair cut con
stantly and short, It’s just like keeping i
a l«wn-mow«r going frequently over the
gr&siL “ The roots burn themselves out
end the plant dies. Hair is nothing more
than * plant so far as that is concerned.
“I your pardon, does that hurt you?”
and die barlxT dexterously removed a
tween the <mstomer’s collar and bis neck. |
“Do you know’ that those little hairs
might obtain growth there if you left
them alone? They would. I’ve had
strange hairs grow in on jny or hand
and it was just as if I had been inoculat
ed with virus. There was irritation and
inflammation. This wouldn’t be the case
with one’s own hair, of course.”
“I guess you didn’t get all that hair
out.” said the customer. “There seems
i to be some crawling around there yet.”
“You’re right about the crawling.
Hairs are covered with scales faced one
way. They’re like flat, round, or three
cornered files, and the teeth fasten them
selves in the skin so thut they can almost
crawl. I can easily tell which end of this
hair the root is on,” said the barber as he
rubbed a hair between his thumb and
forefinger, and it began to inove out of
his hand. “That is how hairs get tan
gled. These teeth fasten in each other.
The people who pull at Jthem only hurt
themselves and tighten the' grip worse.
If they rubbed the tangled spots between
their fingers they’d loosen it without
hurt.”
4, You think women are wise in not cut
ting their hair?” asked the reporter.
“No. I don’t. They should have
their hair trimmed occasionally, because
that would aid its growth. When hair
grows to a certain length it splits, and
that weakens it. I’m often surprised,
though, that many women have
any hair at all. They draw it up so
tightly it ought to strain it out by the
roots. I believe they give themselves
their nervous headaches by straining the
nerves at the base of the brain in doing
their hair up. They certainly expose the
tenderest part of the head.”
After this information, given without
interfering with his work, the liarber pro
ceeded with a phrenological examination
of his customer's ha*d, detailing the vari
ous cxceHencie* of character shown in his
bumps until he was puffetl up with pride
and paid the extra d cents demanded for
bay rum without a murmur.
Sanitary Precaution «a the Rail.

•'That's the orders, sir,’’ replied the
brakeman, glancing at the crowded seats
across the aisle, “Uut'< orders. You see,

A Stage Bobber’s Exploit*
“Heard of Dick Fellows, the single
handed stage robber, haven’t you?” asked
an Arizona ranchman yesterday. “Dick
is a small man with light complexion, .
blue eyes and light hair, and the last '
man you would pick out for a desperado.
Well, about two years ago I had the ■
pleasure of making Dick’s acquaintance.
Myself and a party were camping out!
near the mouth of the Black Canon. It
was just after dusk, and as we were seat
ed in a circle telling yarns Dick suddenly
came into our midst. ‘Well, boys,’ he
said.’ ‘I have lost $42,000 to-day, but I’ll
pay for the whiskey if any man will go !
for it,’ concluded he, throwing down a
S2O gold piece. I didn’t know the man •
then, and, not wishing to offend him, I
volunteered to go. When I returned
Dick and the boys were fast friends, and
wc drank the liquor while he told the
story of his great loss. ‘Boys,’ he began,
‘Wells & Fargo went through to-night
with a chest filled with the money that I
lost. Charlie Wheeler was a-drivin’, and
alongside of him was Jim Hume, the ’
mountain detective—-an’ he’s a good one
—in the employ of the express company. ,
Just as the old stage came lumberin’ out
of the canon I stepped up on a big flat
rock and look over the barrel of my En- ;
field at him. Jim saw me too an’ yelled: ;
‘Dick Fellows 1’ an’ we both fired at the *
same time. Neither on us was hit an’
Charlie whipped up, an’ that’s how I lost ’
the money. But now mark me, boys, I’ll j
get even with Jim Hume before two !
months, and you will all be witnesses, 1
too.* Dick left us then, and we saw
nothing of him until the two months
were up, when he came upon us just as
suddenly as he did before. ‘Jim Hume ,
made a good stake in savin’the box,’ he
said. ‘Wells & Fargo thanked him and
gave him a watch worth S3OO and a pair
of pearl-handle, self-acting revolvers, but ;
they’ll be mine to-night and a good bit
of dust with 'em. Be at the mouth of 1
the Black Canon and see how I doit,’
concluded. Dick, as he his rifle ]
and looked at his cartridgos. We A
wnU'.u’, and as we heard the stage reSHS
Hbg /fr’wn the ei*nsh we s?ot out
we could see. Dick mounted a rock 4
brought his repeater to bear on Hume"lSKl
fore the detective could get a drop On
him, ‘Jim Hume, halt them hosses 1’
yelled Dick, an’ throw off the box an’ the
watch an’ revolvers Wells & Fargo give
ye.’ ‘You’ve got me, Dick,’ said Jim, as
he proceeded to obey the command,
while Dick covered him with his Win
chester. When everything was off he or
dered the stage to move on, never mo
lesting any of the passengers or exchang
ing a word with them. Dick then broke i
open the box and took $17,000 in gold
from it, which he packed away on hie
person and strolled Sway in the dark
ness.”— Chicago Herald.
The British House of Lords.
An ordinary sitting of the House of
Lords is a dull and dreary ceremony.
The hall is lofty, and in the dim light of
an English afternoon reminds one of
some stately vault where the remains of
the ancestral institution may be imagined
to repose. A few straggling gentlemen
are seated on the benches, some mumb
ling remarks are made, some antiquated
form gone through in tW darkness—a
new peer is perhaps presented in his
robes, or a bill comes up from the Com
mons—and the august assembly" adjourns.
The business of the House is carried on
by thirty or forty peers, and these, with
rare exceptions, maintain the debates of
the session. The uniformity of costume
is broken only by the Lord Chancellor as
he enters or leaves with his robes and his
train-bearer, or the ghostly bishop who
sit on lienchcs by themselves, in their
lawn sleeves. The mover and seconder of
an address that is offered to the -queen at
the owning of every session are always in
levee dress—for they are supposed ! >
stand in the presence of majesty, thou j :
majesty never is there—but otherwise t . i »
jieersare plainly clad, the older ones. ; .4 ;
a rule, unfashionable, ami more than half
of them wear their hats. All is dismal,
decorous, and funereal.
Produced the Body.
The Tiflis jujtralw rej»orts a singular
case which lately occurred in a Georgian
village in the Caucasus. A Persian l>c
came bail fur a fellow-countryman ac
cused on a criminal charge. When the
day of trial came the accused was not
forthcoming. The bailsman was informed
that he must produce hh friend, or the
recognizances would be estreated. He
went to the accused, andhaving employed
in vain every possible argument, entreaty
ami threat, he finally drew his dagger
and plunged it in the breast of the de
faulter. He then bore the body to the
judge, saying that he brought the corpse,’
since be failed to produce the living man.
He was painfully surprised on being him- ?
self arrested and lodged in jail on *
murder. j
Etiquette Which May Have
Cost a Queen’s Life.
!- How a Russian Rule Was Broken and an
Empress Was Saved.
Lucy Hooper m one of her recent Paris
Setters says: It was a matter of wonder
to many persons that Dr. Fauvel, the
great French specialist in throat diseases,
uad not been summoned to attend the
King of Spain at the commencement of
bis malady, especially as Dr. Fauvel had
always attended Queen Isabella and her
children during their residence in Paris
for any troubles of that nature. But
such a proceeding was forbidden by the
strict rules of Spanish etiquette, which
prohibits one of the royal family of Spain
from being attended by any physician
who is not a Spaniard by birth.
At the time of the last illness of the
young Queen Mercedes there resided in
Madrid a German doctor who was espe
cially famed for his treatment of typhoid
fever, the disease from which the Queen
was suffering. He had recently saved
the life of Mrs. J. R. Lowell when she
was suffering from a violent attack of
that terrible malady. A few days before
Queen Mercedes breathed her last her
Spanish doctors sent for their German
: colleague and requested him to prescribe
for their patient without seeing her. This
he positively refused to do, saying that
I he must examine into the physical condi
tion of the Queen before prescribing for
her. But that could by no means be
! pennitbjd.
I “Then,” he said, “let, me merely see
bar—let me go to the door of her room
and look at her without crossing the
tWiftld.”
Ev<-n U?!|s<uiH es.sioii was refused,.
“Then, geutl<W n >” he declared, “I

many years ago it' Russia. " 'Rite
Czarina, the mother of the present
or of Russia, was shortly after her mar
nage attacked with a serious affection of
the stomach. Up to that time no physi
cian eould approach the bedside of one
of his lady patients of the Imperial fami
ly nearer than ten feet. The Empress
grew worse and became alarmingly ill.
The Emperor Alexander gave orders that
a famous physician called Botkin, of
whose skill in such cases he had heard,
should at once be sent for. Botkin came,
and, to the horror of his colleagues, he
walked straight up to the bedside of the
Empress and took hold of her wrist to
feel her pulse. He was instantly hurried
from the room and loudly remonstrated
with on the impropriety of his conduct,
•being told that his imperial patient was
to be looked at from a distance and that
he must not approach her, much less touch
her. Botkin listened in silence to all
that the other doctors had to say, but
when tlie report of the consultation was
drawn up he refused to sign- it. The
Emperor, who was exceedingly anxious
respecting Botkin’s opinion, sent at once
for the report, and on noticing that the
name of the new doctor did not appear in
it he caused him to be summoned at once
to his presence.
“Your Majesty,” quoth Botkin, frank
ly, “I can not pretend to treat a patient
that I am not permitted to examine. The
Empress is, I learn, in a very critical situ
ation. I think I can save her, but to do
so I must be allowed to go to work in my
own way.”
The Emperor rose from his chair, took
Dr. Botkin by the arm and marched with
him into the sickroom of the Empress
and straight up to her bedside. ‘'There,
doctor,” he said, “examine your patient,
and if any one pretends to interfere with
you remember that you are obeying my
commands.” The course of treatment
prescribed by the great physician proved
aoccessful. The Empress w** saved and
that particular rule of imperial etiquette
was abrogated forever.
A Leading Question.
“And so Mr. Featheriy will lead your
daughter to the altar next month, Mrs
Hendricks?” said the minister, who was
making his weekly call.
“Ah, yes!** replied Mrs. Hendricks,
with a sigh; “I don't know what I shall
do without Clara.”
“Will Mr. Featheriy lead Clara to the
altar the same as Aunt Jane says that ma
leads pa?” inquired Bobby.
••How is that. Bobby r asked the min
ister. pleasantly.

PEARLS of thought.
Confidence is a plant of slow growth
in an aged bosom, .
A man who is not ashamed of himself
need not be ashamed of his early con
dition.
Men sunk in the greatest darkness
imaginable retain some sense and awe oi
Deity.
Tender minds should not receive early
impressions of goblins, ‘ spectres and ap
paritions.
There is in every true woman’s heart a
spark of heavenly fire, which beams and
blades in the dark hour of adversity,
The only true zeal is that which is
guided by a good light in the head, and
that which consists of good and innocent
affections in the heart.
Never pronounce a man to be wilfully
niggard until you have seen the contents
of his purse. Distribution should be in
accordance with receipts.
Human calculation cannot limit the in
fluence of one atom of wholesome knowl
edge, patiently acquired, modestly pos
sessed, and faithfully used.
As no single man is born with a right
of controlling the opinions of all the rest,
so the world has no title to demand the
whole time of any particular person.
Learning, like money, may be of so
base a coin as to be utterly void of use;
or, if sterling, may require good man
agement to make it serve the purpose of a
sense of happiness.
Almost every one has a predominent
inclination, to which his other desires
and affections submit, and which governs
him, though perhaps with some inter
nals, through the whole course of his
life.

Miss Conners seemed less fatigued than
any other member of the party. After a

The Wonderfal Soil of the Wert.
“Do we have any cyclones out in on.*
country?” echoed the passenger from the
West. “A few. Two or three times a
year one comes along and makes things
howl. We have got used to’em, though,
and don’t mind ’em anymore. The soil
is so fertile that we are able to copper
the cyclones in great shape.”
“But I can’t see what the fertility of
the soil has got to do with it when torna
does come along every once in a while
and carry off your buildings.”
‘ ‘Of course, "’you can’t see it. Nobody • j
ever could see it until he went out West
and looked around a little with his own '
eyes. We harn’t got any trees in our
country to anchor things to, and they
wouldn’t be of any use, anyhow, in a i
regular old cyclo. But, stranger, '
the fertility of the soil comes to our as- '
distance. Every well-regulated house, j
barn, stable and granary in our neighbor
hood is tied to a cornstalk, an’ the cy
clones can’t budge ’em an inch. That’s
the kind of a soil we have out our way.”

Sweet and Tender.
The chief cook at the St. James hotel,
New York, tells an experience: “I like
to try any new edible myself, sometimes.
A little s white ago I had a nice young >
dog. Some how or other the dog broke i
his leg, and so I killed it. It was so nice '
and fat I thought I would see how it
tasted cooked, so I prepared the dog like
any one would prepare a joint of pork,
roasted it and served it with the same
sort of dressing one would put with pork,
and to a stranger the joint had all th< :
appearance of pork, and it tasted deli
I Hous. It was very tweet and tender.”

Ingenious Girl Squatters.
A woman, unmarried and twenty-one
yeafb old, has the right to take up land,
and in Dakota many have availed them
selves of this privilege by acquiring pre
: emption or tree claims. Bethrothed
; i couples from the East sometimes take up
adjoining claims and then marry and
settle down on 480 acres. One of the
i conditions of tbe law, however, is that
any one taking up a claim shall live on
it for six months. Four girl pioneers,
who wanted to take up claims, adopted
r j a good plan to meet this requirement.
, . Taking up a section of 640 acres they
built a cabin on it containing four cor
ner rooms, the center of the house being
■ ; just over the point where the four sec
tions met, as shown by the following dia
gram:
Each woman then moved info the room
located on her 160 acres and yet enjoyed
i the society of her companions’. J They all
provided themselves with revolvers, but
as a rule women on the prairies are as safe
as those who live in large cities.— Mil-

A Signer’s Joke.
President Harrison’s great-great-grand
father, who was one of the regicides of
[ Charles I, was convicted of high treason.
Pepys, in his diary. October 13, 1660,
refers in this comforting way to his execu
tion : “I went out to Charing Cross to see
Major-General Harrison hanged, drawn t
ancl quartered, which was done there, and
he looked as cheerful as any man could da
: in that condition.”
i Exactly 116 years after this event, Ben

Harrison and the great-grandson of the
good man who departed this life in such

Lightning does its work before the victim

while taking refuge under a tree. Both
were carried into the house, ami laid out
for dead. One of the men revived, and
after weeks of suffering and infirmity, he
got out again, and is still living. He
said he knew no more about having Ix eiJ

The Destructive Peepal Tfree.
A curious destroying of human works
in India, according to Dr. R. F. Hutch
inson, is the peepal tree. This is a kind
of fig, which multiplies beyond the power
of man to destroy, its little seeds being
sown broadcast over the land in the drop
pings of the birds and bats which feast ,
on its fruit. The peepal rises everywhere,
and its effect is the disintegration of roc ks i
and buildings, the danger being so
that the keepers of large structures
constantly on watch during tig t ime fur
bird-droppings. As an nhistration
what the tree may do and of its wond- re
ful vitality, it is stated that on the suin- *
mit of the northern minaret of the
mosque of Bareilly, 150 feet high, a’f
peepal flourishes grandly beyond reach, 'IB

The Ambulance. ’>J||
This is a modern invention of French
i origin. In ancient times the wounded
were left to die on the battlefield, but
war now has the ameliorating influenc*
; of surgery. There are two kinds in use.
; The heavy ambulance is left with the bag
gage, while the light one moves over th#
battlefield in order to convey the wounded
to the rear. Each ambulance is attended
by seven surgeons, ancl the largest are
drawn by four horses. A surgeon on
horseback guides the others to some place
where a field hospital is established. A
vhlcw flag is then displayed, which pro
tectethe spot from the fire of the enemy.

surgery during Napoleon’s war, organz e<?
the ambulance system with a great per
section, and it is now in use all over the
