HRlS Off.

DiO Lewis accounts for the badness Of men
in simple way-their habit of keeping the
head constantly covered. He says you never
see man lose hair below where the hat
touches his skull. It will take off as clean as
you can shave it down to exactly that line, but
never a hair below, If he has been bald fifty
years. The common black stiff hat, as imper-
viOus as sheet iron, retains the heat and per-
spiratiOn. 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 the moisture and heat, and finally be
come too weak to sustain the hair. 1t falls out
and badness exists. A man with good head
Of hair needs very little protection where the
wear Immensely thick fur caps, and what
amounts to sheet-rOn 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 wax
about when he covered mans head with hair
1t has "a very important function in protecting
the brain. Badness is q serious misfortune. It
will never occur in any man who wears such a
hat as 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 1t when you purchase your hat. If the
nap be combcd back the wrong way and after
the holes are made it may be cOmbed the right
way. no one will observe the popularity. The
hat will wear quite as lOng-the matters say con-
siderably longer-because it is dry instead of
moist; in brief. there Is not single objection
to it, while it will certainly prevent badness;
keep the top of the head cool, and prevent much
headache"

Eyerything Old.


Why talk so much OF the ssoldn In art?
There's nothing new In the land:
The same old earth, the same old sea,
And the same bright yellow sand!
There's no other way than to dig, ana dig,
For the silver and the gold;
And the new but seemeth, to him who dreameth.
For the new Is but the old
For centuries, green, immortal green,
Has mantled the mountain sides;
While ships go out and ships come In.
With the Oldest Of old tides
There's no other love but the old, old love.
With its bitter-Sweet unrest;
The same in form, through calm and storm.
That stirred old Adams breast.
The same old moon, with its shining face,
Repeated DER and DER;
The same old stars that sang for Joy
When chaos was no more.
There's no other way to live and learn.
But the way Of eye and ear
As the prophets learned, when the spirit burned
In their hearts while dwelling here.
The fire we built upon our hearths-
1t Is only new In name;
Though 1t leaps and leaps in youthful way,
TITS part of an ancient flame.
There's no other way to get ones bread
But to plant in the dusky mold:
So the new but seemeth. TO him who dreameth-
Aye, the new Is but the oldi

How to Save the Drowning,

1t may be we'll just now to make some sug-
gestiOns to residents at the seaShore inregard to
the proper course to be pursued in cases of dam
ger by drowning, and, in the first place. to offer
few words of advice to those who may be
called on to swim to the aid of persons strug-
CLING in the water. 1t is most important that
the drowning person be assured in a CHEEKY
voice that he is safe, and urged to cease strug-
CLING, for the more he struggles the more water
ne swallows, and the more dangerous it is to
attempt rescue. 1T is sheer madness to seize
man struggling in the water for he will blindly
grasp his wOuid-be rescuer and drag him down;
but when he has become quiet the swimmer
Should catch him by the hair OF his lead turn him
quickly on his back, giving him a sudden pull,
which will cause him to float and then start for the
shore. Those who have tried this plan say that
1t Is very easy OF execution, and instances are
on record where one man has swum ashore with
four persons whose hair he grasped and whom
he then threw On their backs. In case of strong
OutSetting tide the rescuer should, however
throw himself on his back and float until help
arrives, for he will soon exhaust himself by bat
ting against the current, and it may be said in
passing that lone swimmer when caught by the
undertOw will do far bettertO float than to wear
himself out in uninterrupted struggling for the
Shore. When body has sunk to the bottom,
and bubbles indicate that life is not extinct. a
person may dive in the direction indicated by the
hand only, using the other hand in conjunction
with the feet in raising both himself and the
drowning person to the surface When the
rescued person has been landed, the first thing
in order is to arouse him by wiping his body
dry and by slappns smartly the stomach
and chest. The jaws should be separated if
they are clenched, and kept apart with cork
or small piece of wood; the person should be
turned on his face. and the stomach kneaded as
long as water flows from the mouth. Them the
throat should be wiped with rolled handker-
chief, and the patient turned on his back with
the pit OF the stomach elevated above the rest
OF the body. The waist should then be squeezed
with great pressure, as if to force the contents
Of the chest into the mouth. and suddenly let
go. This process, which is an imitation OF nat
ural breathing. should be repeated at moment
airy intervals. but with regularity, until the per-
sons breath is restored; but If satisfactory
results do not follow after three or four min
utes the patient should be again turned on his
stomach (but in the opposite direction from
before) for the purpose of expelling any water
remaining In the air passages. Then the arti-
fetal respiration should be resumed and contn-
ued until the patient revives or until death is
beyond doubt. The process of drying and rub
bng should be all the while continued, soon
after the breath returns. These simple rules
are old, but every one who reads them may this
very summer have cause to put them in prac-
tice.

A Corner in Arsenic

cornering operation in arsenic, says the
Boston Commercial Bulletin, has been going on
for some time past, and it is now apparently
successful About all the lots on the New York
and Boston markets have been gathered into
the hands of the operators. and it is stated the
outside lots are small. From one dealer in this
city 400 kegs were purchased
The object of this corner is to force the manu-
facturers of Paris green, who use by far the
greater part of the arsenic consumed, to pay
higher prices for it. The demand for Paris
green is now becoming lively, and if it continues
so. and there is no reason for thinking that it
will not, the manufacturers will in short time
be forced to enter the market To make their
position more secure, the operators have bought
up all the contracts for delivery for the next
two OF three months. Arsenic advanced during
the week from 81 ia315 cents to 315a4 cents

From the World.
There is hotel on Fulton street, Brooklyn,
which does rushing bar business and draws a
notably large amount of beer, 80 that its Gus
tom means good deal to the brewer securing
1t.
Not long ago the hotel changed hands and the
new proprietors transferred their patronage to
another firm of brewers, to the disgust, natur-
ally, of the original supplier, who cast about to
| recover the trade
The hotel is not far from an institution, the
employees of which have been invited to con-
| tribute voluntarily two per cent of their sala-
ries to Mr.. Hubbell's campaign fund. With
some Of these patriots the discarded wertook
counsel.
The other day at noon one of the patriots en-
tered the hotel, ordered beer drank one-third
OF the glass. and remarking "Great Hubbell!
whose beer is that? l don't want to be pois-
Oned!" beat a hasty retreat.
The proprietor was surprised for moment,
but had almost forgotten the incident when q
band Of patriots entered, ordered beer. and at
ter discussing civil service reform, free lunch
and other topics Of the day, made ready and
drank.
Hardly had the fluid touched their lips than
they set down the glasses, looked at each other
solemnly and shook their heads and the spokes-
man said to the astonished barkeeper: "Here,
Johnny, give me my change and empty that stuff
into the sink!" Then they filed out soemnly to
the edifcation of the fifty or sixty customers
who were present, and each of whom became
convinced that there was queer taste to the
beer.
This performance was duly repeated for sew
eral days, varied by such slight instances as one
patriot asking anOther-when, as they were pass
ing. they beheld the proprietor at the door-to
come in and have some beer and the other an
swering audibly Eyes, but not here-they
don't keep good beer any more!''
Then the patriots absented themselves con-
sspicuously for whole day, and when one of
them went in to buy a cigar, and was asked
where his fellows were, he responded: ''Oh. the
boys have been going across the rOad-they say
your beer has been bad of late!"
So help me gracious! There was nothing
the matter with those beer!" said the proprie-
tor but there was no disputing the fact that the
patriots no longer visited the hotel, or if one
did come in and order glass of beer, his sub
sequent conduct was such as to dampen the
enthusiasm of the other customers
SO he surrendered at discretion and recalled
the original brewer, and set up the drinks lib
orally to welcome back the patriots.
And all those patriots wear new hats, and the
brewer who has recovered his profitable Gus
toner paid $50 to a halter Just at that time.
And it Is the other brewer who is disguised
beyond measure and cannot understand the
thing at all, 30 help him gracious!

the education Of many a boy struggling for a

work in this direction is perhaps known to few.
There are now no less than fourteen young
men and women dependent on his big heart for
their education. For some of these he pays
merely the tuition, and for others all expenses.
To each goes a check every month, signed by
