that new shafts are constantly forming.
The nutrition of hair is affected through
vessels which are in contact with their
tissue, without entering into their struc
ture, so that causes affecting the general
health, or affecting the health of the
skin. also affect the nutrition of the
hair.
"What causes premature baldness?'
''In great measure the violation of
hygienic rules, and the excess OF mental
and physical labor in climate foreign
to the race"
rs there greater disposition to
gray medicines in this country than in
others?'
"Well, some we'll informed people
think that it is about the same in all
civilized countries; but, if there is any

"What is the chemical action which
produces gray hair?"
Accurately speaking, that's one of
those things that no fellow can find out.
The olor of the hair depends partly on
the presence of pigment granules, and
partly on the existence of air spaces,
which causes it to appear dark by trans
mitted light. In Albinos and gray
haired people this coloring matter is
simply absent
''lt is the case that hair may, from ex-
trems fright or other strong emotions,
turn white, as it is said, in single
night?"
"It is an undoubted fact. Just how
the change occurs is matter of conjec-
ture. But it may perhaps be explained
by some chemical action upon the only
coloring matter This oily matter won1d
be Withdrawn from the hair under condi-
tions of cold, debility, or insufficient
food"
''Does gray hair then become dead?"
"Not by any means. The loss of vital
ity does not necessarily follow the loss
of color, for gray hair often grows Wig
orously. For that matter the hair will
grow after the body's death. One of
the causes of premature badness and
grayness is tightly fitting and unyield-
ing hats.
''Are any of the thousand and one pre-
partitions for restoring the hair of any
valued"
"Tonics and stimulating applications
are sometimes beneficial. When the hair
is thin and falls ont easily, shaving the
scalp will often produce thicker, firmer
and darker growth. N. Y. Sun.

A Chance for Inventors.

A machine is greatly needed in many
parts of the country for twisting together
swamp hay, the straw of grain, bushes
and the smaller branches removed from
trees in the operation of trimming them,
for the purpose of utilizing them for
fuel. Such materials are extensively
employed in many parts of Europe for
heating houses and for cooking food
They are twisted together or tied by
hand. Although this country is we'll
supplied with wood and coal, and the
facilities for transporting them are ex-
cellent in most sections, still there are
places where the inhabitants are obliged
for fuel tor warming and cooking. They
have an abundance of hay and straw,
and sometimes bushes and the branches
of trees that have been planted. If
they are twisted together and bound,
they form very good and convenient
fuel for domestic purposes. The mate
rails as prepared should be nearly in
the form of stove wood. In addition to
being twisted they should be bound SO
that they can be conveniently handled.
A machine that would accomplish these
results would be of very great value in
many portions OF the West, and especi-
ally so in the treeless, coalless sections
of the wheat growing region. It should
be of ample construction, not liable to
get ont out of order, and cheap. Large
machines might be constructed that
could be moved from one house to an.
other ,as threshing machines now are, but
small machines are more desirable, so
that every settler could have one. The
machines would be valuable in places
where there is a supply Of coal out no
wood that can be employed for kindling
purposes or for supporting brisk fires
that are often required for cooking
meals. With suitable machine, q sub.
stitute for wood could be obtained from
materials now wasted, at the expense Of
little labor.

A newly married couple, who arrived on
their honeymoon trip at a celebrated
Scotch watering-place at time when
accommodation was at a premium, had a
mattress spread for them by compass
sionate inn-keeper in one of his baths.
In the middle of the night the house
was alarmed by loud shrieks proceeding
from the nuptial chamber. What was
the matter? Well, this. The young
bride, wishing to ring tor maid, had
caught hold Of what she supposed to be
the bell-rope, and pulled it smartly.
Unhappily for her and her spouse, it was
the cord of the shower bath over their
heads, and forthwith down plunged
such a deluge of cold water as
would throw a damper upon
the most devoted of honeymooning
couples. Her husband IN dismay,
caught frantically at another cord on
his side of the extemporized couch, but
the only response was an equally liberal
deluge of water. this time it being
nearly hot. The unhappy pair then
screamed in unison; and the bride in
the excitement of the moment, uttered
sentiments anything but supplementary
to the fond spouse. When the servants
came, they were just in time to rescue
the unlucky pair from drowning, as the
room was already half full of water, and
the wife was perched like monkey on
her husbands back uttering the most
lamentable cries, while her good man
was fumbling about in the dark, trying
his best to find the door.

What the Farmer Should Study.

The farmer should study the laws Of
concentration. He learn should how to
concentrate his crops into the best pay
ing articles. Does he consider that but
ter, beef, pork, mutton and cheese repre-.
sent only certain amount of grass. hay
and grain that his farm produces? That
instead of selling the raw commodities,
he can by putting them into these
articles get much better returns for his
products? Els study should be how to
transform the raw products Of his farm
into something that is concentrated and
that will bring him most money. What
he raises has to go to some market By
condensing it. little freight will have te
be paid and thus much will be saved. A
farm is not only a farm: it is, or should
be, q factory for changing raw products
into articles of general consumption that

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS.


To Wash Windows.-If you put soda
in the water with which you are to wash
windows, you will find that finger-marks,
putty stains, etc., will be much more
easily removed than if clear water alone
is used.
Cream Dressing for Cold Slaw.-Two
tablespoonfuls of sweet cream whipped,
one of sugar and four OF vinegar; beat
we'll and pour over cabbage previously
cut very fine and season with salt.
Picked Chicken. Boil four chickens
till tender enough for the meat to fall
from the bones; put the meat in stone
jar, and pour over il three pints of cold
good cider vinegar and pint and half
of the water in which the chickens were
boiled; add spices if preferred, and it
will be ready for use in two days. This
is popular Sunday evening dish; it is
good for luncheon at any time.
Lancashire Pie.-Take cold beef or
veal, chop and season as for hash; have
ready hot mashed potatoes seasoned
as if for the table, and put in a shallow
baking-dish, first layer of meat, then a
layer of potatoes, and so on till the dish
is heaping full; smooth over top of pota-
toes, and make little holes in which
place bits of butter; bake until nice
brown.
70 Use Cold Meat.--A good way to
save and use small. pieces of meat is to
chop them fine, add some bread crumbs,
salt and pepper; moist,n with milk, or
with gravy or stock. Make this into
fat cakes, dip them in egg and fry them
until brown; or put the meat in o
pudding-dish or basin and press it
for two or three hours, and slice it for
tea.
To Cook Oysters.-One way to cook
oysters for an invalid is to first drain
them in colander, then melt little
sweet butter in frying-p pan, and when
it is brown put the oysters in it, after
wiping them dry; turn them over in
three or four minutes, and as soon as the
gills turn up take them out and lay
them on hot plate. These will be rel
ished many times when one is tired of
broth or soup.
Biscuit.-Dissolve one rounded table
spoonful of butter in pint of hot milk;
when lukewarm stir in one pint Of flour,
add one beaten egg, little salt and
yeast: work into dough until smooth; set
in a warm place to rise. In the morn
ing work softly and roll out to one-half
inch, cut into biscuit and set to rise for
thirty minutes when they will be ready
to bake. These are easily made and are
delicious.
White Fruit Cake.-One cup of butter
and two cups of white sugar well beaten
together; one cup of milk, two and
half cups of -four, the whites of seven
eggs, two even spoonfuls of baking
powder; beat all we'll before adding
fruit. Take one pound0 leach of raisins,
figs, dates and blanched almonds, and
one-quarter or pound of citron; cut
all fine; stir fruit in last with sitting of
-four over it. Bake slowly.

GRAssHoPPER GRuEL.-In the Sierra
Martis valleys the Indians gather to-
gether on particular occasions to gather
grasshoppers. The squaws carry cone
shaped baskets of great capacity, and
scoop the grssshoppers with q fan
shaped implement into their baskets, and
when loaded, carry the wriggling mass
of insects to camp and prepare them for
food. The grssshoppers, killed and sub.
sequently dried, are mixed with mashed
pine nuts or cracked wheat, and made
into kin of -four, which is afterwards
made into . bread, most delicious to
the palate of the Indian. White visitors
to the camp are always invited, in &C.
cordance with Indian hospitality, to par
take of the compound, and great is the
astonishment of poor Lo at the disgust
expressed by the white man for this kind
of food.

Poor Jerome Collins.

The saddest part of the Inflated jean
nette expedition Is now being told in
the investigation instigated by DR.. Col
Inns, brother of Jerome Collins, who &C.
companied the expedition as CORES
pondent of the New York Herald. DIR.
Collins says:
81 have found that for some reason
Melville hated my brother. The charges
brought against jerome were puerile to
the last degree, and evidences are nu-
merous of De Longs harsh and unwar-
ranted treatment of my brother. One of
the survivors states that Jerome was the
strongest of the party, and yet was de-
MED the privilege of accompanying
Ninderman and Noros. He weighed
when he left San Francisco 204 pounds,
was fully six feet eight inches in height
and of the most rugged CONSTITUTE On.
When found, his hair had turned snowy
white through his mighty anguish.
When / called on Judge Lumley he
said, Here are two papers wish you to
read before we go into this matter. 1
refused to see them until / had his
promise that they would be presented
with all other pertinent matter in evil
dence at the investigation. The promise
was given and opened the papers and
found the charges against Jerome pre-
ferred by De Long and given to the Sec
rotary of the Navy by Melville. In
brief the charges we're:
First-Not always up in time for
breakfast.
Second-He hunted q bear without
permission.
Third-He did not remain on the ice
the full time ordered for exercise.
Fourth-Too much time was occupied
in making observations.
Fifth-He smoked in the cabin with
his fur coat off, and talked to Danen-
hover. 1t was during the latter event
that De Long came in and roughly
charged him with disobedience. My
brother refuted the accusation. De Long
repeated his charge. jerome replied
that he treated him with all the defer
ence required by the naval law.
'sDo you know who I amp" cried De
Long. CONSIDER yourself under arrest,
and by -, You'll do no more work on
this expedition"
Eisenhower heard this. Among my
brothers papers I find long letter,
which was draft of letter written to
De Long, in which he arraigned him for
cruel treatment. The letter must be in
existence, but cannot be found. New
comb and Collins were required to sign
articles on shipboard as common sailors
before the ship had left her berth, and
from that hour the persecution was un-
broken. Melville declares they were the
happiest lot of men he ever saw. New
comb says it was perfect hell for three
years. Danenhower states that were he
subjected to what they were he would
have jumped overheard.
