Hint to Bald-Headed People.

Frederick Kemp writes from the
silver mines of Montana to the "Her
aid of HEALTH giving the following
hint in reference to cure for bald.
headedness
"A friend of mine who had the mis-
fortune to be bald headed, knowing
that there.is wonderful invigorating
power in the suns rays, last spring
threw away his hat, and worked in
the gulch all spring, summer and fai
bare-headed, and also for the first
few days at midday. For few
days the rays of the hot sun on his
head were almost uncomfortable; af.
ter that time he experienced no in
convenience whatever. The result
was that in the fall he had good
head of hair. And in this expert
ment he was not slOne-several of his
acuuaintances who were bald headed
having followed the same plan, they
were all fortunate enough 10 expert
ence the same result"
The editor adds that similar cast
once came under his own observation
and processes to have no doubt thai
the exposure Of the skin to air ant
sunshine, under proper circumstan,
ces, stimulates it to healthy action
and with it those glands upon which
the growth of the hair depends.

A GERMAN TRUST SONG.

would not ask to choose mr way.
Content with What he VIII bestow,
Assured he will not let me stray.
So az he leads. my path make,
And step by step gladly take
A child in him con fding.
Just as God leads am content
rest me calmly in ria hands:
That which he has decreed and sent
That which his Will for me commands.
would that he should all fulai
That should do his gracious will
In living or in dying.
Just as tod leads-i all resign;
trust me to my Fathers will;
When reasons rays deceptive shine,
His counsel would yet fulfill
That which his love ordained a, ri Iht,
Before he brought me to the light,
Ny y-all for him resigning.
Just as God leads me, abide
In iai'h, In hope. in suffering true;
ais strength is ever By my side
Can aught my hold on him undo,
hold-ms Arm in patience, knowing
That God my lie is still bestowing-
The best in kindness sending.
Just as God leads, ] onward 60,
oft amid thorns and briers seen;
God does not yet his uidanoe show
But in the end ii shall be seen
How as loving Father,
Faithful and true, he leads rns still.

Ciyility as q Fortune.

Ciyility is fortune itself, for a
courteous man always succeeds well
in life, and that when persons of abil-
ity sometimes fail. The famous Duke
of Marlborough is case in point
1t is said of him by one cotempora
ry, that his agreeable manners often
converted an enemy into friend ;
and by another, that it was more
pleasing to be denied favor by his
grace, than to receive one from any
other man. The gracious manner ol
Charles James Fox preserved him
Ffrom dislike even at the time wher
he was, politically, the most unpopu
lar man in the kingdom. The worlds
history is full of such examples o.
success obtained by civility. Tht
lexperience of every man furnishes
| if we recall the past, frequent in
stances where conciliatory manners
have made the fortunes of physi
Icisns, lawyers, divines, politicians
merchants, and indeed, individuals il
all pursuits. To men, civility is wha
beauty is to women--it is q genera
passport to favor-a letter OF intro
lduction, written in language that ev
cry one understands.

A plucky old fellow whose son was

A plucky old fellow whose son was
a student at one of our New England
colleges, spent the day with him and
stopped to tea. When his cup was
filled he seized bowl of salt, which
be supposed TO be sugar, and put the
usual quantity in his tea. Sly glances
and suppressed ssnickering' led him
to suspect that something was wrong,
but the old fellow, who didn't like to
be laughed at, worried it down, and
putting on q face that was intended
to make everybody think that he liked
his sdose of Salts he called for anoth-
er cup, and upon receiving it, said to
the head snickerer: young man,
will you be kind enough to pass that
bowl of saltp The salt was passed
and amid the most breathless silence
he dipped a couple of spoOnfuls into
his tea, stirred it up, and tasted il
with q look Of apparent satisfaction

man opposite him, do you drink salt

The Forged Will

A few years ago man of high re
spectability was tried in England up
on charge OF forging a will, in whici
it was discovered he had an indirec
interest to large amount. Mr.. War
rem was the associate prosecuting at
tOrney, and the case was tried before
Lord Denman.
The prisoner being arraigned, and
the formalities gone through with
the prosecutor, placing his thumb
over the seal, held up the will and de-
manded of the prisoner if he had seer

Here Warren paused, and fixing
his deep blue eyes upon the prisoner,
he held the will above his head, his
thumb still resting upon the seal, and
said. in a solemn, measured tone.
''Now, sir, upon your solemn oath,
