unspeakably wicked and reasonable.

1 Blld-lIeaded Man Buying Drugs.

There are two mad men in Milwau-

the other is druggist. The bald man
told doctor that his hair was falling
out, and asked him if he didn't know
something that would stop it. The doe
tor said he would fix him, so he wrote
out prescription, which was as follows:
Chloride of sodium, one ounce aqua pu-
ra, eight ounces. Shake wei! and rub
on the scalp every morning.
The bald man went to druggist and
had the prescription put up. paving FL
for it. He asked the druggist if he
wasnta little high. but fel, ashamed
when the druggist asked hlm if he
knew how much aqua pura cost a gal
Ion. He said he didn't, but supposed it
came high. The druggist told him
aqua pura was one OF the most penetra-
ting drugs IN the store, and as for
chloride of sodium, there was nothing
like 1t, and the war in Peru had sent it
up klting. He said if the trouble in
Chill kept on there was no knowing
how high it would be. The bald man
used the medicine and feltas though it
was doing him good. His wife noticed
little new hairs coming out he felt good.

general feeling at the Stock Exchange
and IN financial circles visible TO-DAY Is
partly due to the encouraging tenor Of
the advices respecting the Presidents
eondition, IN part ths manner in which
tne news had been received in Europe
ana IN part to the demonstration of
strength by speculative capitalists who
are interested in supporting prices.
Before business closed yesterday it was
apparent to intelligent observers that
all danger of a panic at the Stock Ex-
