Hats Of.

Dio Lewis accounts for the badness
of men in a simple way-their habit of
keeping the head constantly covered.
He says you never see man lose a hair
below where the hat touches his skull.
1t Will take off as clean as you can shave
1t down TO exactly that line, but never a
hair below, if he has been bald fifty
years. The common black stiff hat, as
impervious as sheetiron, retains the heat
and perspiration. The little hair
glands, which bear the same relation to
the hair that the seed wheat does to the
plant above ground, become weak from
moisture ana heat, and finally become
too weak to sustain the hair. It falls
out and badness exists. A man with a
good head of hair needs very little pro-
lection where the hair grows. "And
yet" he says, "we men wear immensely
thick fur caps, and what amounts to
sheetiron 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 a mans
head with hair. 1t has very important
function in protecting the brain. Bald
ness is serious misfortune. 1t will
never occur in any man who wears such
hat as I do-a 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 may be combed
the right way-no one viii observe the
peculiarly. The hat will wear quite as
long-the hatters say considerably longer
because it is 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 had cool, and prevent
m1ch headache -

Andy Johnson and a Pet Dog,

A Washington dispatch to the Cleve-
land Leader says: Representative Petit
bone, of Tennessee, who has just renom-
mated for congress by acclamatiOn. Is a
native of Bedford o., and formerly at
tended Hiram College, and was q pupil
of the lamented Garfield. Since the war
he has resided in Greenville. Tenn, the
late home Of President johnson. He
says the old homestead looks very much
as it did during the life time of the tailor
President, and is now occupied by his
daughter, Mrs, Patterson, who presided
during his administration as the lady of
the White House. The little tai1or's
shop where Mr.. johnson used to work at
his trade still stands almost unchanged
from its former appearance. "The last
time l saw Mr.. johnson, said Mr.. Petit
bone to me, ''was on Sunday evening
before his death. I often called to see
him, and he always expressed himself
freely during my visits. had little
dog which I had in my admiration of
the great soldier of the war, called
Grant. But johnson disliked General
Grant SO much that he could never
bear to hear his name, and he always
called him Prince. The dog was quite a
favOrite with the old statesman, and fire.
quently found his way alone to
Mr.. Johnson's Office, where he was al
ways treated with the greatest considera-
ton. Onthis Sunday evening Mr.. John
son was much depressed in spirits. He
felt of late that his vital forces were
rapidly leaving. We walked down to the
spring near his house, and tried as best
[ could to cheer him up. Prince, as he
called him, was with us, as usual. The
animal was getting along in years, and
hair on his eyebrows showed that he was
approaching the limit of canine exist
ence. Looking intently at the dog few
minutes, Mr.. johnson stopped down, and
patting the little fellow on the head,
said, in a tone that will never fail to
remember, Prince, you and 1 will be
going to our home before long. [ left
him that night still quite depressed,
and the next morning went to Knoxville
to attend to some court business. While
absent I received the intelligence that
Mr.. Johnson had been seized with
fatal illness and had passed away. He
had started on journey of forty or fifty
miles to his farm in Garter County,

Alaska,

A great deal OF fun has been made of
Alaska, and perhaps the explanation is
that very few have taken pains to inform
themselves as to the character of this
one of the United States possessions.
How many are they for instance, who
know the following facts In relation to it /?
It is equal in extent to the whole United
States east of the Mississippi, excluding
the Gulf States. It almost spans the
Northern Pacific Ocean, in the form of
bow, shouldering Russian Asia within
forty-six miles, and touching Japan al
most as closely with it's foot, and extend
ing as far to the west of San Francisco
as the State of Maine extends east of
that now central city of the United
States! It extends also through 20 deg.
of latitude. and through climates rang
ing from snowless and perennial verdure
to eternal snow. It has one of the larg-
est rivers on the continent, the Hottest
mountains, the sublimest scenery, the
most immense and majestic forests of
the choicest timber, the most enormous
stores of iron and coal heaped up above
the surface of the earth, with abundant
lead. copper, and numerous other valu-
able minerals, besides the continuation
of the great gold and silver bearing
ranges that disclose mines of treasures,
wherever opened, from Mexico to Brit
ish Columbia, and are already drawing
thousands of diggers annually. In GER
tain portions of the territory the climate
is so saIubrious, that it is predicted it
will ere many years be favored resort
for wealthy tourists.

The Opinion of a Physician.

A physician writing of DIR. Guysotts Yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla, having carefully ana
tic over this great health remover. There can
be no other remedy so harmless and vet so eff
fective. No ether possible combination of
drugs will more rapidly assist nature in hasten
ing the cure of general ill-health. In chronic
diseases of the lungs, liver and kidneys and
nervous system it is especially beneficial. In
its composition was especially pleased to find
Iron, Celery and Juniper combined with the
Sarsaparilla and Yellow Dock. Iron of itself
is seldom beneficial, but in connection with
such valuable vegetable tonics its effects will at
all times have tendency to promote health
and strength"

CarbonaceOus Food.

The large amount of carbonaceous food
consumed during the winter by the inhabitants
of cold climates, renders the blood thick, and
the system becomes more or less charged with
carbon. In this state spring bursts suddenly
upon us, and we feel languid and debilitated.
Moral: Aliens "Iron Tonic Bitters is the
best spring tonic in existence. 1t tones the
liver, purifies the blood, creates a healthy ap
petite, aids digestion, cures dyspepsia and gives
vivacity and buoyancy of spirits.

SHADOWS OF BIRDS,
BY H H.


In daEkoued air, alone with pain,
/ lay. Like links of heavy chain
The minutes sounded, measuring day,
And slipping iifelessy away,
sudden across my silent room
A shadow darker than its gloom
Swept swift; a shadow slim and small,
Which poised and darted on the wall,
And vanished quickly as 1t came.
A shadow, yet it lit like flame;
A shadow, yet heard it sing,
And heard the rustic of its wing,
Till every pulse with joy was stirred;
lit was the shadow of bird
Only shadow Yet it made
Full summer everywhere it strayed;
And every bird that ever knew
Back and forth in the summer few.
And breezes waited over me
The scent of every flower and tree;
fill 1 forgot the pain and gloom,
And silence of my darkened room.
Now in the glorious open air
/ watch the birds fly here and there;
And wonder, as each swift wing cleaves
The sky, if some poor soul that grieves
In lonely, darkened, silent walls,
Will catch the shadow as it fills.
