CURE FOR BALDSEsS. Kemp
writes from the silver mines Of Montana to
the Herald Of Health, giving the following
lint in reference to a cure for badness CA
friend Of mine who had the misfortune to be
bald-headed, knowing that there is a won
Gerful invigorating power in the SUMS rays,
last spring threw away his hat and worked
in the gulch, all spring, summer and fall,
bareheaded, and also for the first few days
ct mid day. For few days the rays Of the
hot sun on his head were almost unendura-
bic after that time lie experienced no IN
sasiness whatever. The result was that in
the fall he had a good head Of hair. And
in this experiment he was not alone-sever-
ri If his acquaintance who were bald-head-
sG having followed the same plan. They
were all fortunate enough to experience the
same result"
The editor adds that a similar ease once
came under his own observation, and pro-
fesses to have no doubt that 1.-THE exposure
of the skin to air and sunshine, under pro-
per circumstances, stimulates it to 9 healthy
ection, and with it those glands upon which
the growth Of the..hair depends. ."-Lerington

To DESTROY RATs.-A curious method Of
killing rats IS recommended IL q German
journal as very efficient. A piece Of new or
unused sponge is cut into small pieces,
which are smeared with butter and placed
within reach of the rats, next TO dish Of
water. The rats eat the sponge, and, be-
coming thirsty, drink the water. which
swells the sponge, and in a short time kills
the animals, which are fouad lying dead al!
around.
