Down in Kentucky young man
went to ,neighboring town and bought
some furniture. Before starting home
ward with his load he took on some of
the .so-be.joyful.'' On arriving at
home he found that his furniture, which
he had hauled in his fathers wagon, was
considerably rubbed, which enraged the
young man, till. be l,egan to curse his
fathers wagon. While at the supper
table his father, weary of his swearing
chastised the lad; whereupon the young. 8.
ster told him that they might as well
fight II out there as any where and
drew revolver and shot at the old
gentleman.- The father jumped up and
ran from the table, but as lie ran the
lad shot at him again. Neither of the

A medical journal publisbea in Glove

A medical Journal published in Glove
land addresses the following queer que
ry to the profession:
"QUERY-Has any physician ever
seen or treated a bald-headed consump-
tive ?'' -
We should say that there must be,
and that there must have been, bald
headed consumptives; yet the fact that
doubt is thrown over the existence of
such persons BY D medical journal would
seem to show that they are not SO COM
mon as to be within the Knowledge of
every physician. We ourselves have
not, of c. use, seen as many sufferers
from the malady in question as have
come under the observation Of some
doctors but we cannot at this moment
think OF any of those we have seen who
was bald headed. Consumption is a
disease that preys upon old people as
well as young and middle-aged people,
and we suppose its victims are subject
to the ordinary laws that regulate the
growth of hair. If not, why not?
