A Remedy for Badness

From the Hartford Courant.l
The bald may now take courage and
smile at the frequent summer fly. 1t is
no new lotion that is to bring lack the
hairs of their youth and innocence, but
a system of planting hairs in the smooth
skin of the head, exactly as cabbages are
1T out in a garden. A discoverer, whose
mama cannot be long concealed from a
grateful \rorld, has invented a plan of
rsnient;ng the hair where it is lost. As
plants grow W. so does the hair. It I is
rooted and thrives like svegetable. The
operation of restoring hair ,s very SIM,
pie; put healthy hairs into the s.yes OF
needles and draw the needles througi.
the upper skin, the epidermis; being
drawn through, the hairs are left in the
skin, as a thread may be left in any ma
terial by stitcher. The roots, which
have been extracted with their bulbs
complete, are brought under the epider-
mis-. The surface SO operated on is pro-
tected at first by linen band, but the
hairs soon take root, grow and flourish.
1t is not stated whether having the skin
punctured in this way is disagreeable.
and how often it is fatal. If it is a sue
cess, the plan has many advantages; one
can have any color of hair he may elect,
and he can plant variety of colors, and
thus make his appearance striking and
heautiful

Fossil elephants in Alaska.

It has been generally supposed by
scientific men that the fossil elephant Of
Siberia had no representative in the
same latitude on this continent. Recent
examinations on the Yukon river in
Alaska, however, have established the
fact that the remains are even more
plentiful on the west than on the east
Side Of toe North Pacific. Enormous
quantities Of bones are found, and a
supply Of ivory sufficient TO last the
world for centuries. The valleys Of all
the streams and all the low grounds are
Glled with bones and tAsks, so that every
vessel nov arriving from those remote
possessions has part Of its cargo made
up la part of these new-found remains.
The elephant, whose range was formerly
almost universal, is now confined to a
small portion Of Africa and Asia, and il
would seem as il the species was in pro-
cess Of slow extinction. Neither Europe
nor America, which once swarmed with
them, has now either a climate or vege-
tation fitted TO their existence. Their
remains, however, are likely to give to
Alaska a value not previously suspected.

A seene ON me Paciac Road.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Re
view, writing Of the late snow storm
along the line of the Pacific railroad,
says: The train was caught in a
bank-it could neither back nor go
ahead. The wires were tapped and dis
patches sent to three different quarters
for men and shovels. While the train
was waiting the buffaloes gathered from
the plains to the lee side for shelter. II
any one had felt disposed he might, from
his seat in the cars, pop them over with
his revolver the rest would not move;
they could not be driven away by the
engine whstling or the human voice,
but crowded their shaggy sides close up
to the cars and there stood, with bowed
heads, for the storm to pass. Many
were seen to fall down in their tracks
dead from cold, and when at last the
train was dug out and moved off, the
track was lined with the huge, shaggy,
frozen carcasses.

How 10 Fret the Boys.

Half-grown boys are too often treated
as nuisances, and are thus encouraged
to become such. No provision is made
for their entertainment; they are not
trained to employ their overhowing &C.
tivity in useful ways; they are treated
as if they possessed peculiar kind of
deprayity, and as incapable of adding to
the happiness of others. 1t is too much
to expect that boy will prefer reading
dry book to frolic with his fellows;
will enjoy being lectured nightly on his
particular sinfulness, while his sister, or
some sick, overstudied youth, is held up
asa model of perfection.
The Christian at Work has the follow
ing on this subject, and as boys will be
boys" the world over, it applies to one
LEGALITY as well as another:
If one-half the praise which is bestow-
ed on three and FIVE year olds, and on
"young ladies just coming out, were
distributed among young men, we should
see a marked decline in loaferism and
rowdy conduct. To notice boys good
intention is to make performance easy.
To treat him as social outcast is to
make him. sooner or later, professional
disturber Of the peace. If home be made
pleasant eand pains taken to guide
youthful spirits into legitimate channels,
there will be less fondness for that inde-
pendent, rowing selfish existence which
marks every boy as an lshmaelite.

APrncticaI Experiment.

A Frenchman, writing to the Gaulois,
gives an account Of his sensations while
hanging himself, which may be of bene-
fit TO persons Of suicidal turn of mind,
and who would like to know what the
thing is like" AS il preparing to hang
nm his coat. he drove nail into the wall,

neck, aud then slowly kicked away his

When you mean to save, begin with

waste. In all other things keep within
compass. Never stretch your legs far
thsr than the blankets will reach, or you
will soon be cold. in clothes, choose
suitable and lasting stuff and nat taY-

thing; never mind the looks. A fool

Flowers for Punerais.

The Linten season is usually supposed
TO be a brief farewell to flowers; but
this is not the fact, for the floral grief is
not only fashionable, but expresses itself
sometimes at a cost for cross Of $50,
and for crown of SIPS. A week ago
we read that the flowers used at gentle
mans funeral were represented by the
sum of $1,000, and at the death Of lady
these beautiful tributes cost $780, Eight
years ago there we're only three florists
in New York, and then to spend $l00 on
any particular occasion for flowers
seemed a great extravaganza. Now
twenty-seven flower merchants advertise
in New York city, nearly all dealing ex-
tensively in flowers; SIS to $40 bou-
quets are common, and others range
from $50 to $50. Baskets cost from SO
to 800. The popular Boston bouquet
has impressed its style even upon plants,
for these are made to present the same
careless grace by tying cut flowers on
wire, and attaching the wires to the
young stems Of the plants.

scenes from the French Revolution

Life is made of contrasts; music itself
can only exist by contrast; nature itself
is full of contrasts; our characters ex-
hibit contrasts; and man lives them,
needs them, to make life endurable.
Sometimes they, however, assume forms
which are horrible TO behold. Mirth and
death, virtue and craft, are brought so
closely together that we shudder at the
very sight Here are a few examples.
During the French revolution, Gretry,
the composer, was walking in the Champs
Elysees. ut was spring" he says,
and ] would have been refreshed by
the perfumes of the flowers, and the
beauty Of the setting sun, had not my
soul been touched by sight which |
shall never forget while life lasts. AS |
came near to the Place de Revolution,
| heard musical tones. ! stepped closer
and heard violins, flutes and tamborine
and could distinctly see people dance.
Just as was thinking of the contrasting
scenes of this life, my attention was
drawn to the guillotine near by; looked
over toward it, and saw the knife in
full motion. 1t sank and ascended
twelve or fifteen times. Thus | stood
within hearing of music and the steps and
shouts of dancing people on one side,
while blood flew freely on the other, the
sun still shining on the scene, and the
flowers filling the air with fragrance
which these unhappy beings should never
more breathe. These pictures can not
be obliterated from my memory To
avoid this horrible field Of death, /
stepped into street, but did SO too late,

Here is another:
A king. we know, is a man like any
other, but the fact that we always see
him surrounded by pomp and glory,
makes us look upon him as different
being. The procession which took Louis
XVI to the guillotine, passed under my
window, marching to lively air, in six
eight time (something like a reel, the
drums making the skipping time. The
whole surroundings of the unhappy king,
with the trihing music, the quick march,
produced contrast such as shocked my
system,
