What Causes Badness.

Dio Lewis accounts for the badness
of men in a very simple way-their
habit of keeping the head constantly
covered. He says that you never see a
man lose q hair below where the hat
touches his skull. 1t will take it off as
clean as you can shave it down to
exactly that line, but never a hair be-
low, not if he has been bald fifty years.
The common black stiff hat, as i'm
pervious as sheet iron, retains the heat
and perspiration. The little hair-glands,
which bear the same relation to the
hair that the seed wheat does to the
plant above ground, become weak from
the presence of the moisture and heat,
and finally become too weak to sustain
the hair. 1t falls out, and badness
exists. A man with good head of hair
needs very little protection where the
hair grows. "And yet, he says, we
men wear immensely thick fur caps,
and what amounts to sheet-iron hats,
and do not dare step out in chilly
atmosphere moment less we take cold.
1t is silly, weak, and really a serious
error. The Creator knew what he was
about when he covered a mans skull
with hair. 1t was very important
function in protecting the brain. Bald
ness is a serious misfortune. 1t will
never occur in any man who will wear
such hat as I do-a common high silk
hat with five hundred holes through
the top, so that there shall be more
hole than hat. This costs nothing the
halter will do it when you purchase
your hat. If the nap be combed back
the wrong way, and if after the holes
are made it be combed the right way,
no one will ever observe the popularity.
The hat will wear quite as long-the
hatters say considerably longer-be-
cause it is dry instead of moist in
brief, there is not single objection to
it, while it will certainly prevent bald.
ness, keep the top of the head cool, and
prevent much headache.

Life In the Indian Territory.

Manners and superstitions in the In
dian Territory are, in many respects,
still thoroughly Indian. Hospitality is
unbounded, and as soon as an Indian OF
wealth and station takes wife, all her
relatives, even the most distant, come
to live on his estate, and remain for
ever, or until they have impoverished
him. The tyranny of mothers-in-!aw IN
the Territory is something frighttul TO
contemplate. One Indian gave as his
reason for not wishing to get rich, the
torments which his relatives, in case he
married, would cause him. Food is
simple throughout all the nations.
Corn, ground with mortar and pestle,
furnishes the material for bread a few
vegetables are grown and game, hogs,
and cattle are abundant. The hog OF
the Indian Territory is g. singular ami
NAL. Having run wild all his life, he is
as distinguished for thinness as are his
brethren of civilization for corpulenee,
and his back well merits the epithet OF
razor-edge applied to it. Stock feeds
itself, winter and summer, and there is
rarely season when it is necessary to
put up any hay. In the winter OF lS7!
grass was green up to the middle OF
December along the Arkansas bottom.
Marriage is gradually becoming an
institution among all the tribes, the ef-
forts of the missionaries tending to en-
courage it; but heretofore men and
women have simply chosen each other
as companions, and have lived together
and reared families. Usually a young
man who has become enamored of a
maiden, ingratiates himself with her
brother, or with a near male relative,
and the latter intercedes with the
father. If the father considers the
suitor favorably, he puts him on proba-
ton, and at the end of a certain term
receives him, and presents him to the
daughter as her future husband. The
family relation seems much respected,
and is guarded against disorganization
by many excellent laws.

A StOWaway Dog.

Many years ago, upon returning from
q residence in Italy, we took a steamer
from Leghorn to Liverpool to avoid the
fatigue of the land journey. On coming
into port at Marseilles we were detained
several days, the ships boatsplying be-
tween the steamer and the shore, the
harbor being. as usual, crowded with
ships of every nation and description.
On the second day after leaving port a
most miserable, half-starved dog, ter
rier), one side of whose body was a
mass of pitch, was observed to crawl
upon the companion-ladder giving n
terrified look around him.
Much surprised at the sight of the
wretched animal, the captain exclaimed,
"Whose dog can this be-" and the in
quiry went round among the several
passengers and crew. No one owned
him, and the steward following him on
deck explained that he had found the
poor creature hidden away in an empty
berth. Captain NJ, kind and humane
man, proposed to adopt him as one of
the ships company, and setting him up
ON his hind legs made pretence of CIV
ing him dozen as punishment forh
coming on board as stowaway, greatly
to the amusement of the children, and
then named him Jack.
A sailor creased his coat and set him
free from the pitch, making him look
more respectable and with good living
and kind treatment Jack soon recovered
his spirits and seemed, out ofgratjtude,
to attach himself specially to the cap
tain.
If spoken to in any other language
than English he would remain quite un-
concerned, but GOOD dog" "Good
old fellow" would make him wag his
tail and look happy.
Before coming into the Nsrsey we
took in our pilot. Then asudden change
came over Jack, who had been most
quiet, peaceeble traveller he grew quite
excited, running up and down. on to the
bridge, and jumping up to get a look
over the side; so great was his evident
excitement the nearer we came to Liv-
tlpOOl ullluSlC0 lllS dttSHllOii VI
every one on board. On reaching our
destination, and while rs yet the steam
er had scarcely stopped, the ropes for
mooring being only thrown on shore,
Jack was observed to mount a case of
oranges placed at the side of the steam
er, and with one bound leap on shore in
a moment.
"Follow that dog" cried the captain
to man standing on the wharf, "and
see where he goes" OFF set the man,
and after some time returned quite out
OF breath, saying he had been obliged
to give over the chase, Jack having set
off at a quick run up one street and
down another, evidently taking the
nearest road home. The curious fact
was how the dogs instinct enabled him
to choose out of the many ships lying
around one whose destination was Liv-
erpool. How he came on board noneof
the sailors could tell but that he was
doing wrong he evidently knew by hid
ing himself away until discovered by
the steward.

Official Report of the Wheat Crop.

The Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington issue the following officialreport
of the condition of the wheat crop:
The winter wheat is mostly harvested.
OF 753 counties from which reports
have been received, 2O2 are above the
average, 16S average and 3S1 below.
OF 800 counties reporting spring wheat
103 are above the average, 115 average
and 6S below. The average of winter
wheat is somewhat increased, though
many fields have been winter-killed
and ploughed up for spring wheat and
other crops. The acreage of spring
wheat is very largely increased, and
especially in the Northwest is unusually
promising.
The indications of the crop of 1873
are considered at least equal to those of
June, 1872, when the Department esti-
mated the prospective crop at go, ,000,-
600 bushels. Subsequent conditions of
growth raised the first estimate of the
year in the annual report of 1872 not
vet published) to 249, 1897, ,020 bushels.
With equally favorably conditions the
yield may be safely set down at 250,-
100000 bushels. Insect ravages, how
ever, are reported in the spring wheat,
indicating serious loss in some locali-
ties

Apu1rERAr1oN OF FooD.-A case has
recently been decided in England which
shows at once the existence Of extended
adulteration of food, and that the courts
are prepared to repress it, and punish
it ii possible. A tradesman was sued
for having sold to the plaintiff as butter
n compound of lard, dripping fat, palm
oil, and oil from certain Seeds" He
had the GOODNESS to plead that he did
not represent the article to be pure, but
the court said that when, on being asked
for butter, tradesman handed an arti-
Gle across the counter, he thereby rep
resented that the article was butter, and
not a mixture of the horrible ingredi-
ents mentioned in the case. The case
was decided on appeal for the plaintiff.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.
If railroad director were l"shed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph Walk
er, of California, took this course when
he first compounded the famous Vine
gar Bitters, which now ranks as an in
estimable household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed him.
self with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with
simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan
dering, sick and poor, among the Cali
fornia tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and o
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, be-
lieved him, tried the new restorative,
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale Of the Vine
gar Bitters began, and we mention the
fact as an evidence that in this age of
intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
pecuniary failure-even though it
may lack the help of capital, and have
to fight its way against powerful op-
posing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the arti-
Gle became self-supporting, and it now
yields magnificent annual revenuR.-

Chinese Funeral at Belleville, n. j.
Peculiar Ceremonies Over the Corpse Of n
Chinese Laundryman.

Chinese Laundryman.
Lu Ching Choo, who had served for
two years in Capt. Harvey's laundry at
Belleville, N. j., died surrounded by
his friends and countrymen. Lu Ching
Choo had become a foreman and was
we'll liked by all his fellow washermen
in Belleville. On his death bed he COM
missioned theinterpreter of the laundry
to convey to his wife in the fowery
kingdom the intelligence of his death.
When he was at the point Of death his
fellow-laundrymen gathered around the
bedside first to mutter in their yernacu-
lar fervent supplications to Joss, and
then to look on in melancholy silence at
the death struggle of their countrymen.
When he breathed his last there was a
loud Gathering of wooden shoes, for
those who mad surrounded the death bed
were Fastening to their respective quar-
ters in search of joss sticks which they
tremendously distributed among their
countrymen without distinction, wheth-
er faithful or Christianized. There was
hardly word uttered. The Celestials
seemed to act automatically after the
death.
The next afternoon the corpse was
placed in a freshly-bleached blouse and
pair of baggy pantaloons: Its jet
black pigtail was arranged with taste !;
nor was the corpse wanting in new
pair of wooden shoes to make easy its
invisible journey to the Land of Flow
ers. Without coffin or shroud, the
mortal remains of Lu Ching Choo We're
borne slowly and silently down the
stairs of the laundry, followed by his
brethren. On reaching the place of
burial the Celestials filed off in good or.
der, and nearly formed circle around
the grave. Lu Ching Choo was rever-
emily lowered iute the grave, and this
ceremony was followed by a jingling OF
strange prayers. Then the Interpreter.
who seemed to superintend the burial
service, lighted a pile of papers and
threw them into the grave. Each OF
the Cinnamon increased the burning
pile by throwing other pieces OF paper
on it. They burned joss sticks and
piously cast them into the grave, so
that the soul of the departed might as
cend in the flames and smoke to realm
of perpetual happiness. After the COW
ering of the grave, prayers were NUT
tered, and two-cent and one-cent pieces
we're distributed among the spectators.

Mr.. Christopher Shearer, fruit far
mer near Reading, Pennsylvania, has
probably the largest refrigerator in the
country. 1t is fitty-fve feet square, and
holds, when filled, about one hundred
and forty carloads of ice and four thou
sand bushels of fruit. Last fall Mr..
Shearer placed in it one thousand seven
hundred bushels of apples, four hun.
dred and fifty bushels of Bartlett and
fifty bushels of Lawrence pears. His
brother, who is the owner of an adJoin-
ing farm, also stored one hundred
bushels of apples in it, some of which
are still there and as solid as when they
were taken from the trees.

A Little too Late.

Competition is said to be the "life

I suppose it is but it may be carried
to extremes, as, 1 think, the Drawer

estate of neighbor recently deceased,

for an order for the gravestones for the
departed. After some three or four
weeks very gentlemanly marble

a person was dangerously i'll, ga grave

manded "the job" and asked for the
inscription for the head-stone. He
replied that he knew it was so, and add
ed, "Idon't do it, and 1 won't, for it
isn't decent but often find myself in
the same fix that Deacon b was
in"
How was that?" I asked.
"Why," said he, cold Deacon B
had long had his eye on Mrs. W,
whose husband had for several weeks
fingered on the borders of the grave. A
few days after the funeral of Brother
W the deacon made friendly call
on the widow, and in the course of the
conversation remarked that he proposed
to offer her the consolation of his hand
and heart, which he hoped would not
be unacceptable to her. oh, deacon,
she replied, you are too late: Elder

No National Costumes at Vienna.

"We are rather disappointed" writes
correspondent from Vienna, "in our
expectation of seeing people dressed in
the costumes of all nations among the
exhibitors and spectators. On the con-
trary, there was nothing to indicate that
we were on this side of the Atlantic in
the dress of any one, except two greasy
and dirty-looking Syrians, in their long
gowns, which we passed in the grounds.
All, even Turks, Wore the European

their red skull-caps, with long black
