How ONE HUSBAND "DREw HIS WIFE
oUT",A f;icctious individual not many
miles from Danbury, sought to ''draw
his wife out" by pretending to be found
dead with an empty laudanum vial by
his side. And that lady was Il good
deal shocked ut first, but having read
that a needle introduced in the human
flesh, would indicate on its surface
whether that flesh was dead, and being
Il woman of eminent practcability, she
at once armed herself with ii polished
cambric of nearly two inches growth.
and with throbbing heart and bated
breath, introduced ii good share of its
length into an appropriate portion of the
deceased. What the surface of the
needle really indicated, was not learned
as he took it with him us he passed
through the sash.-D Ddnbuy Nems.

\ REMEDY FOR BALDNEs5.-The
bald now take courage and smile at the
frequent summer fly. 1t is no new 10
tion that is to bring back the hairs of
their youth and innocence, but a sys-
TEN of planting hairs in the smooth
skin of the head, exactly as cabbages
are set out in Il garden. a dlscoverer,
whose name cannot hc long concealed
from IA grateful world, has invented a
plan of rcplanting the hair where 1t Is
lost. As plants grow, SO does the hair.
II is rooted and thrives like a vegeta-
blc. The operation of restoring hair
is very simple; put healthy hairs into
the ewes of needles and draw the nee
dies through the upper skin, the epider-
mis- being drawn through, the hairs
are left in the skin, as II thread may be
left III any material by stitcher. The
roots, which have been extracted with
their bulbs complete, are brought under
the epidermiS. The surface so operated
on is protected at first by linen band,
but the hairs soon take root, grow and
flourish. 1t is not stated whether hav-
ing the skin punctured in this way is
diSagreeable, and how often it is fatal.
If it is Il success the plan has many ad-
vantages one can have any color OF
hair he may elect, and he can plant
variety of cOlors, and thus make his
appearance striking and beautiful
