the Eastern Penitentiary by concealing him.

supplies to the Institution. Before the We

a cape from lady, was apprehended and sent
to Moyamensing Prison. Here he was visited
by one of the officials connected with the
Penitentiary.
"Well, Reilly" said the officer, "what did
you run away for?
"Don't blame me put it on the man who
got up the scheme, and who told me to do it, y

"Who was that?" was the question.
"Why, the chaplain" quoth Reilly.
"Say no more; will bring the chaplain,
said the official.
In due time the chaplain, who was a good
and holy man, and who was horror-stricken
at the charge, confronted Reilly.
"Now, Reilly, here is the chaplain" said
the official "Chaplain, Reilly charges you
with encouraging him to get out of prison,

A REMEDY FOR BALDNEss.-Dr. George
II. Robe, of Atlanta, says that he has cured
himself and others of badness. His remedy
is solution of French or German soft soap
and alcohol, with which the head must be
thoroughly shampooed every morning. The
following is the prescription, which can be
filled by any druggist: "R. Sapon's viridis
(Germ.) alcoholics, two ounces each solue,
fltra, ct adde OF. lavandule g4 xx.-xxx." I"
The lavender is added to cover the odor Of
the soap. After the shampooing, the soap
must be all removed with warm water and the
hair dried with soft towel. "The imme-
diate effect" the doctor says, is disagreeable
feeling of tension of the scalp, as if it were
stretched too tightly over the skull. To OBJ
viate this effect, and to keep the scalp from
getting too dry, and thus, perhaps, set up a
true pityriasis, it is necessary to follow up the
shampooing with some fatty application which
may contain some mild stimulant, thus ::
Castor oil, one part, to alcohol, three or four
parts, with little oil of rosemary or CHINA
mon," or any good pomade may be used
But the patient must not be alarmed if his
hair falls out faster than ever for a while.
This is due to the fact that many hairs are
dead, and only retained in their follicles by
the plugging Of the sheath with the accumu
lated sebaceOuS matter.

How TO UTILIZE OLD FRUIT CANs-Per-
haps one the most appropriate uses Of an old
fruit can that can be devised, is to make it con-
tribute to the growth of new fruit to fill new
cans. This is done in the following manner {:
The can is pierced with one or more pin holes,
and then sunk in the earth near the roots of
the strawberry or tomato or other plants The
pin holes are to be Of such size that when the
can is filed with water, the fluid can only es-
cape into the ground very slowly. Thus a
quart can, properly arranged, will extend its
irrigation to the plant for period of several
days the can is then re6lled. Practical tri-
ais of this method of irrigation leave no doubt
of its success. Plants thus watered flourish
and Weld the most bounteous returns through
out the longest drouths. In all warm localities
where water is scarce, the planting Of old fruit
cans, as here indicated, will be found pro6ta-

POLICE PHILOSOPHICAL badly frightened
stranger, whose dress betrayed the fact that
he hadn't much ready cash, called at a police
station and complained that two men had
been following him around for several hours
with view to robbery.
"Well, you'd better leave your money here
until you get ready to leave town" suggested
the captain.
"But haven't got any-not dollar" was
the reply.
"Then how can they rob you?"
That's so-never thought of that" chuck
led the man as his face frightened. "After
they've gone to the trouble of knocking me
down and dragging me into some alley, they
won't find red in my pockets-ha! ha

that a great burden had been taken off his

EXAMINE THE CoMBs.-It is the easiest
thing in the world when you know how it's
done to tell when your fowls are in i'll
health, even in the incipient stages Of any
disease or ailment, if you but examine your
flock carefully. The comb of each fowl is
true index to the workings of their systems.
If they be in i'll health, the comb will lose
color and will become far less firm in tex
ture; as the malady increases the color de-
creases, till very sick bird will show comb
almost devoid of scarlet color, being of liv
id dull crimson, or else pale or ashy in ap-
pearance. If the cholera or any disease
should come into the flock, carefully examine
the combs of each bird, morning and night,
and all those which are wanting in that
bright, rich color which denotes perfect health,
remove at once from the flock to a place re-
mote, where they should at once be put under
medical treatment p
The comb of the fowl is an honest index Of
the true inwardness, and should daily be con
suited by the fancier who values the health
and we'll being of his flock. Look at the
comb of a laying hen or pullet! She is in
the height of health and strength and carries
her unfailing sign of healthfulness on her
head, in the shape of a blood-red, bright and
full comb. A vigorous cock or cockerel will
carry the same sign, though not, perhaps, in
so eminent degree.--Ameracan Poultry
Yard.

How He CURED THEM-Many congre-
CATION make it part of their religion to twist
their necks out of joint to witness the entrance
of every person who passes up the aisle Of the
church.
Being worried one afternoon by this turn
ing practice in his congregation, Mr.. Dean
stopped in his sermon and said:
"Now, you listen to me and I'll tell you
who the people are as each one Of them comes
in.'
He then went on with his discourse until a
gentleman entered, when he bawled out like
an usher:
deacon A., who keeps shop over the
way" -,. ----- -.
He again went on with his sermon, when
presently another man passed into the aisle,
and he gave his name, residence and occupa-
ton. So he continued for some time.
At length, some one opened the door who
was unknown to Mr. Dean, when he cried out {:
"A little, old man, with drab coat and an
old white hat. Don't know him look for
yourselves
The congregation was cured.-Ueueland
