HOW BLAINE MADE HIS FOR
TUNE.

Gath inquired what Mr.. Blaine's busi.
ness in Ohio was, where the statesman
had gone with Mr.. Elkins: F'l he gen
eral idea is that he is seeking to get rail
road connections for his Piedm mt and
and Fairfax Stone railroad. The small
beginnings of fortune are traced to this
anecdote. About twelve years ago a
young man named Stephen B. Elkins
was sent to Congress as delegate from New
Mexico He was blushing and am bitious
Blaine, the speaker paid, SO much more
courtesy to his wishes than expected that
the young man fell in love with him.
Soon afterwards Elkins, being young
widoWer, began to court daughter of
Senator Henry Davis, of West Virginia
He heard Davis talk about coal lands
near by. Elkins looked into the matter,
and began to buy also. He drew Blaine
into the purchase This turned Blaine's
attention to Virginia Railroads, and he
became purchaser of the old James River
Canal, and organizer of a railroad on its
bed. This yielded him a handsome for
tune of itself
Meantime, mining in Colorado leaped
up, and Elkins went into it with Mr..
Chatfee, his old associate in the sale of
the Maxwell Mexican grant, which was
the common basis of their wealth. They
both liked Blanche planked up his
money and came out ahead there, too.
He was packed up for the presidency by
these two men both times. Now Elkins
and Blaine are looking for large exten-
sions of the railroad they have develop
ed from Senator Davis coal-felds. Both
Blaine and Conkling are, therefore, hard
in perusit of fortupe-both we'll adver-
tised, both gluttoned with success and
starved with disappointment; and of such
is not the kingdom of heaven. But Ell
kins has several fine children by that
girl he went courting among the coal
lands.

BALD HEADS.

A prematurely bald physician in 35th
street was asked a number of questions
about the growth and habits of hair.
'In the first place" he said, "do you
know what hair is, anyway"
"Only in a general way, perhaps"
''Then let me tell you in word. It is
an elongated epidermic appendage. Its
essential structure consists of an assem-
blage of epidermic cells, at the bottom of
fask-shaped follicle in the substance OF
the skin, supplied with blood by vessels
distributed to its walls
"Can hair be made to grow on bald
head?"
''Not as a rule. In debilitated persons
the hairs sometimes fall out spontaneous
ly, or with slight assistance, and if the
bulb alone comes away, and the sheath
and germ remain behind, they are capa
ble of reproducing the hair, under proper
treatment Or favorable circumstances
The short and pointed hairs on the scalI
Of old people show that new shafts are
constantly forming. The nutrition o
hair is effected through vessels which
are in contact with their tissue, without
entering into their structure, SO that
causes affecting the health of the skin
affect also the nutrition of the hair
"What causes premature baldness?"
In great measure the violation oi
hygienic rules and the excess of mental
and physical labor in climate foreign tC
the race"
is there greater disposition to gray
ness in this country than in others?"
"Well some Well-informed people think
that it is about the same in all civilized
countries; but if there is any difference il
is because of the hurried and unhealt hfu
habits of life and mental exercise among
Americans"
"What is the chemical action which
produces gray hair?''
Accurately speaking, that's one o
those things that no fellow can find out
The color of the hair depends partly or
the presence of pigment granules, ant
| partly on the existence of minute all
spaces, which cause it to appear dark BY
transmitted light. La Albin0s and gray
haired persons this coloring matter il
simply absent"
Isl II e case that hair may from ex
treme fright or other strong emotions turl
white, as it is SAID, in single night?"
cit is an undoubted fact Just hoy
the change takes place is a matter fo
conjecture, but it may be explained b.
some chemical action upon the oily col
oring matter. This oily matter woulI b
withdrawn from the hair under condi
tions of cold, debility, or insuficien
food"
''Does gray hair then become dead?'
"Not by any means The loss ofvita
ity does not necessarily follow the loss {
color, for gray hair often grows vigorous
ly. For that matter hair will grow afte
the body's death. One of the causes {
premature badness and grayness is tigh
ly fitting aud unyielding hats"
care any of the thousand and one pre-
parations for restoring the hair of any va
ue?''
"Tonics and stimulating application
are sometimes beneficial. When th
hair is thin and falls out easily, Shawn
the scalp will often produce thickei
firmer and darker growth. ."-Neao Yor

SHE HAD HER FUN.

The absurd case of Miss Fearnieux is
still causing much amusement in Eng
land and the sentence of seven years
penal servitude must seem a little hard
when the amount of mirth which she has
provided for the public is taken into ac-
count. 1t will be remembered that she
procured money from various dupes by
alleging that she was Lord Arthur Clin-
ton, when Queen Victoria had person
ally condemned to masquerade in temi-
nine apparel for an unlimited ace of
time. On the score of this eXtraUrdi-
nary punishment she managed to ex-
tract large sums of money from different
people, giving them forged documents of
the most ludicrous character. One doc
ument on which she secured a large
amount was letter from the Lord Chief
Justice, in which he was made to misspe.l
his own name and address Miss Fear
nieux as "My dear client!" Other sig
natures were equally absurd. Lush,
Justice of the Peace ''Sir John Ben
nett, the worthy Alderman of London"
and 'Fred'k Earl of Lanesburg," scarce
ly require superhuman knowledge to
prove to be forgeries. On one occasion
she told one of the fools she feeced that
the Queen had sent for her to Baln1oral,
and the dupe ACTUALLY accompanied her
as far as Ballater, and probably paid for
the tickets. At all events, this particu,
lar idiot, whose name was Beynon, would
not pay over any cash until he got some
document; SO Miss Fairnieux brought
him a letter from the Queen addressed to
some ''spooks'' called the Lords of the
crown recommending them to pay Mr..
Beynon seven hundred pounds "on, be-
fore, or after the 9TH of November"
which is surely the most uncertain date
ever heard of. The case was tried at War
wick with all due solemnity. and the
Lord Chief Justice came down to prove
that he did not write ''the Court Of Com
mon Please (sic). or stroll about the gar
dens of Lincoln's Inn talking to strangers
from the country and promising them his
