Why Men Should Keep Their Hats Off.


Dio Lewis accounts for the badness Of
men in simple way-the habit of keeping
the head constantly covered. He says you
never see man lose hair below where the
hat touches the skull 1t will fall off as
clean as you can shave it down to exactly that
line, but never hair below if he has been
bald for fifty years. The common black silk
stiff hat, as lmperviOus as sheet iron, retains
the heat and perspiration. The little hair
glands, which bears the same relation to the
hair that the seed wheat does to the plant
above ground, become weak from the mois-
ture and heat and finally become too weak to
sustain the hair. 1t falls out and badness
exists. A man with a good head Of hair
needs very little protection where the hair
grows And yet" he says, 1--WE men wear
immensely thick fur caps, and what amounts
to sheet iron hats, and do not dare step out
in chilly atmosphere moment lest we
take cold. 1t is silly, weak, and really a
serious error. The Creator knew what He
was about when he covered mans head
with hair. 1t was very important function
In protecting the brain. Badness is serious
misfortune. 1t will never occur to man
who wears such hat as 1 do, common
white silk hat with 500 holes in the top so
that there will be more holes than hat. This
costs nothing; the halter will do it when
you purchase your hat. If the nap be
combed back the wrong way, and after the
holes are made it can be combed the right
way, no one will observe the popularity
The hat will wear quite as long-the halter
says considerable longer-because it is dry
dry instead of moist; in brief, there is not a
single objection to it, while it will certainly
prevent badness, keep the top of the head
cool, and prevent much headache.

Some Curious Calculations.

A rapid penman can write thirty words in
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through the space of a rod, sixteen and
a half feet In forty minutes his pen trav-
els furlong. We make, Oh an average, six
teen curves or turns of the pen in writing
each word Writing thirty words in min
ute, we must make 4SO turns each minute;
in an hour, $4,000; in day of only five
hours, 144 600; in year of 300 such days,
43,2OOO,OOO The man, therefore, who made
100000 strokes with his pen was not at all
remarkable. Many men-newspaper writ
ers, for instance-make 100000. Here we
have, in the aggregate, mark 800 miles
long to be traced on paper by such writer

A Novel Charity Scheme.

To a guard on the Southeastern railway of
England is due the credit for a novel scheme
for collecting funds for the widows and Or
phans of railroad employees. AT his sugges-
tion an intelligent dog, which he has appro-
priately named Help" travels up and down
the Southeastern line at his own free will,
mutely soliciting aid. He wears hand
some collar setting forth the object for
which he is travelling, and requesting kind
friends to send their subscriptions to the
office of the society, at No. 3O6 City road. By
this instrumentality large sum of money
has been collected for the unfortunate per-
sons whose cause he represents.

TeIephones Causing Deafness.

The fall River Ne,cs says:-"Several OF our
friends in this city have had their sense OF
hearing diminished in one ear by the cor
slant use of the telephone. Persons who
use this instrument are apt to apply the in
strument to the same ear every time, and
the consequence is the organ is overworked
and slowly approaching deafness IN tnat ear
is sure to follow. Several parties III TINS city
who are affected by it, have applied TO an
eminent aurist in Boston, who reports the
cause to be as above described he recon-

How Good Man Would Resist Temp.
tatiOn.

In his morning sermon on recent Sun
day the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in speak
of wealth said: WELL" you say ''its easy
enough for you, standing in pulpit and
backed up by good salary, to urge us to re-
gard wealth as only one part of life" That
is SO, but what am here for? The truth is
the truth, whether it is uttered by dwarf
three feet high or by Goliath ten feet high.
But you say: 'Wouldn't you take wealth if
it were yours, with all its cares, perplexities,
risks and burdens ?" Yes, I would and then
probably act as you do-be fool and make
it the sum of existence. Wealth is sure to
take to itself wings and fly away. 1t no
more stands still than the blood in the body:
there is perpetual circulation to-day there
is a million. Of dollars in one pocket, to-
morrow one dollar in each of a million
pockets

Why Guiteau's Neck Was not Broken.

Guiteau is reported to have said to one OF
his guards ON the morning of his execution:
Il have read an account of man who was
hung many years ago, and who, after hang
ing twenty minutes, was taken away by his
friends and restored to consciousness He
asked the permission of his hangman to be
allowed to give the final signal. The per-
mission was granted, and as the drop fell the
victim shrugged his shoulders and 'swal-
lowed his neck, as the operation is called.
Some color is given to this story by the
facts that Guiteau gave the signal for the
drop to fall, and his neck was not broken.

Injurious Use of Ice Water.

NEW fOfk JOURNAL OF Commerce.
Many who regard the use of liquors and
wines as injurious or wicked resort to still
more dangerous indulgence and fill their
stomachs with iced water or cold beverages
containing no stimulant If rum has slain
its thousands ice has slain its ten thousands.
The ice pitcher does not breed quarrels in
families nor lead to murder and other crimes,
by maddening the brain; but it paralyzes
the functions of the stomach, and annually
kills more people in the United States than
can be counted as the victims of alcohol, and
the habit of drinking it grows upon the
thirsty lip like the use of liquor. In hot
weather we see the slaves of the iced cup
placing it to their mouths every few minutes
throughout the day. 1t is the cause of the
larger part of the disease that afflicts the
better classes of the American people.
