The Man That Shuts the Door.

The single article of shutting the door
during the late low thermometers mas
caused more profanity than every other III
that flesh is heir to. The man that won't
open the door in summer won It shut 1t IN
winter and thus gains the extra privilege
of being cursed by his fellow men all the
wear round. He came into the office yes
terday.
sShut the door!'' yelled the man at the
press.
"Wiu you be good enough to shut that
door?'' entreated the man at the desk.
"All right returned the fiend smiling /;

ssShut that door y screamed the man
at the press, to which he added his con-
viction that the visitor must have been
brought up in saw mill, where as it is
we'll known doors are little used.

encased in huge overcoat; Tin second

"Good gracious! gentlemen, aosU shut

The man that will invent machine for
shutting doors this winter will save an
ocean of profanity.

New WAY TO Make Hair Grow.

do not think / have vet told YOU of
new system TO make hair grow on the
head, even at the most advanced age.
IT has been tried on persons over eighty
or ninety years of age, and has ALWAYS
succeeded as yet But it requires great
patience and time You must rub the
head for half an hour every day, either
morning OF evening, rs YOU wish; then,
if your head be dry. rub it another half
hour with a stimulating pOmatum II
the head bo moist, rub into the roots of
the hair a stimulating wash, made of
rum, quiuine, cantharides, etc, which
any chemist viii easily and cheaply make
up for you. The great thing is to rub
rub, rub the head for fully half an hour
before applying the medicament and for
half an hour afterward Sometimes.
after one hundred hours, You may begin
to see the hair ready to shoot mp from
the most ivory-looking pate. The hair
grows slowly but surely, and takes as
many months TO re-grow rs it took years
to fall Suppose, then, you lost your
youthful locks twenty years ago, it VIII
take twenty months for them TO grow
again to their original length and thick
ness. The newly grown hair, also, is Of
the original color of the hair before it
began to fall.
Those who have the time viii certainly
try the experiment, at least for amonth or
two. Those who have ladies' maids may
save themselves the trouble, leaving the
care TO the maid; but the persons own
hand is better. Several Roman doctors
are going to try the experiment, as the
inventor of the system is a disciple of
Hahnemann. Hair-dressers are also try
ing il on those customers who consent to
make the trial, and several very remark
able cures have already been effected
