heartless tradesman prosecutes the sad
heroine for heavy debt, and insists on

Joseph B. Tilton devotes himself to
growing hair on bald heads in San
Francisco. Peter Taylor, who has q
bare spot on his crown, made bargain
with Tilton to remedy the defect The
written contract specified that $40 should
be paid when the hair started, and as
much more on full restoration, pro-
viding the application did no injury.
Tilton claims that the hair began to
grow under his treatment, but that TaY-
lor declined to continue the remedy or
to pay the sum agreed upon. A lawsuit
followed, but the hair restorer lost it,
because under the agreement Taylor was
not bound to continue the application
longer than he saw fit. ii sti

6xiOu.

Itis curious coincidence that the
moon was eclipsed on the generally re-
ceived date of our Saviour's erucifxion,
A. d. 80, April 3. The phenomenon,
however, could have had no influence on
the miraculous darkness which overshad-
owed Jerusalem from the sixth TO the
ninth hour" when the sun was dark
ened. Mr.. Hind has found that the sun
had emerged from the earths dark
shadow at quarter of an hour before
she arose at Jerusalem (6:36 an but
the penumbra continued upon her disc
for an hour afterward" The penum-
bra visible during lunar eclipse is ex-
ceedingly faint, being only a shadow Of
the earth's dark shadow, and it can
scarcely be recognized by the naked eye.
1t certainly could have added nothing to
the awful solemniiy Of the scene which
had just taken place.
