Good News for Bald Heads.

The Cawoltons .(AItss9 Conservative
SAYS; &" We have heard it stated several
times that Mr. Samuel Bryant, who here
tofore had been bare-faced on the top of
his head, had, by the use Of coal oil,
grown a thick coat of hair on the afore-
said bald head. We saw Mr., Bryant on
Monday last, and on examination found
the statement correct. Mr.. Bryant told
us the way he found out this new prop
erty of coal oil was simply this he had
Il large boil ON the bald place on the top
of his head, which gave him much pain,
and in the absence of anything else, he
rubbed coal oil on it, HeSays it reliev-
relieved the pain almost instantly so he
continued to rub on the oil until the boil
was entirely well, when, to his surprise,
he found a thin coating Of hair coming
ont over the bale place. He continIed
the use of the oil for month or two,
and now has heavy coat of hair on his
head. This is no humbUg, but the sim
pie truth, and we advise our bald-headed
friends to try the experiment"

The Lady Of The Key
How "a EeussIan Husband Disposed Of
an Intruder.


One of the Paris journals anno6nees
the death, at Versailles, of Russian
lady who appeared in the drawings
rooms in Paris in 1913. and 1S49, and
was nicknamed the sEDan4e q Ia Clef."
She died, aged fOPty-fiye, in the most
complete solitude. 1T is said that her
husband, who was. much older than
she, came to see her for aEWeek or two
every six months, and went away
again, no one knew whittier. All was
mysterious about this Lady of the Key.
Last month the husband did not return
as usual, but letter came announcing
his death. The widow survived him
q few days only, and it is supposed she
allowed herself to die of hunger.
Whether true or not, this was the story,
that was whispered about her when
she appeared in Paris, young and beau
tiful, more than twenty years ago. 1t
is said that her husband surprised her
in a little country house which he pos
sessed near Moscow, at the moment
she was hastily shutting somebody up
in q wardrobe. A servant had betrayed
her. The MuscOvite OthellO turned
the key twice in the wardrobe, took it
out, and then told his wife to. follow
PAGES from the villa. More dead than
alive, the unhappy woman Obeyed.
When the husband had placed her in
carriage, and given an order in low
voice to the cOachman, Keep this
key" he said to bis wife: 1" have for
gotten something and will return"
and then went back to the house. He
returned according to his promise, but
as the carriage ascended the hill, the
poor woman saw flames issuing from
the windows of the country house, and
taking full possession Of it. She faint
ed away, and OH regaining her senses
perceived that gold chain was Tiveted
round her neck, to which the little
key of the wardrobe was attached. She
wished to kill herself, but the husband
threatened that if she committed sui
eide he would reveal her misconduct,
and would reveal her misconduct, and
cover her and her family with dishonor.
She was, therefore, condemned to live,
and her strange necklace excited much
curiosity in Paris. At last her tyTant
allowed her to retire into aquietretreat
on the express stipulation that she
would not attempt to destroy herself
during his lifetime. His death released
her from this condition; but she had
iIanguished for more than twenty year,
having the witness of her guilt alway'
before her eyes. ..-

the speaker came back to the leading
idea, that the close competitions of
modern war were to be decided by me-
chanical differences, these sometimes
of the slightest description; and that
single defect in the French military

Gen. Reauregard-Wel sir, he may
be the coming man. know his re-

rough soldiers in F'rance-a man who
adopted that deliberate, characteristic
choice of the thorough soldier, to serve

dependence in pointing out what he

French, nice and eXacting in every

not giving attention to military details.
Gen. Trochu has had the bOldnes to
criticise repeatedly that affected mag

that has often lost the great opportUni--

While so much is being said about

can't say a word about theirs. So
thinks one boy, at least, and he has
made up the following composition to
express his feelings:
Talk about the woman and the-the
all the rest of 'em; none of 'em all
are half so badly useda as boys are. Ask
any boy. I know q lot, and can tell
'em ali by name. Ask 'em all. They'll
tell you to he a boy is to be somebody
with nary right in the world. You're
to take all the sass that's given, but not
give any Why? 'Cause you're a boy
In the cars and OmnibuseS you get
cheated out of your seat, if it's wanted,
cause you're q boy and not a man. A
woman gets in-car is fulI-and looks
all around; every body looks at the
boy. An old gentleman says
"My son." reprovingly.
Conductor says, "Cone, boy"
You've paid your fare. No matter
for that, you're boy Have been on
your feet all day, carrying bundles.
Who cares e? you're nothing but q boy.
Who wants a boy anywhere? =? Your
sister don't in the parlOP. Your father
don't; he always asks you whether
you're not wanted to do something
somewhere You make your mothers
head ache, whenever you come neal

Young men tease you, and give it tC
YOU if you tease back. i' '..
You wonder if you ever were that
pretty little fellow in petticoats that
everybody stuffed with candy ;andyoy
wonder whether you'll ever be a man
and be liked by the girls, and treated

At last Ihave obtained What purports
to be a correct statement of the losses
ofthe Prussian army in killed, wound
ed, missing and prisoners, from the
commencement Of the campaign up to
the 18th of August. My information
comes from a private source in Berlin;
and, although / cannot affirm that it
is infallibly correct, I have reason for
believing that it is not far out of the
way. I may add that the information
was not sent for political effect at all,
but was transmitted from a medical
man in Berlin, connected with the
medical service of the army, to a fell
loW-surgeon ia London. The state
ment is as follows:
