! which he has illustrated the works of other
authors and his own, are perfect reproductions
of the faces OF his family and friends. The
originals of his feminine portraits especially are
often to be met in social circles in Providence
| OF weeds. Hawthorne wrote as follows: "What
hidden virtue is in these things that it is granted
| to SOW themselves with the wind, and to grapple

and to flourish in spite of obstacles and never
| to blight beneath any sun shade, but always
to meet their enemies with their wicked luxur-

GOVERNOR CORNELL was formerly an operator
in Cleveland, and Callahan, the veteran employe
of the Western Union battery room, worked
under him in the same position he now fills. An
| old operator known as Van relates that Cornell
was addicted to smoking Vans pipe. Van used
tobuy long-stemmed clay dhudeens, and would
when Cornell would throw the pipe on the floor
and break it. Van had procured an unusually
good pipe one day, and at first refused to lend il
to the Governor. The latter succeeded by a
stroke of strategy in getting it, however, and
| then broke it to smithereens. The long-suffer-
ing Van seized Cornell by the collar and threw
him bodily out of the Office
| THE Annamite Tuduc, just deceased, was acuri-
osity among emperors. The two chief institu

en-. He old man, and only allowed his
sacred face to be seen by mandarins of high
rank. His principal meal consisted of never
| fewer than twenty courses, among which was
his favorite delicacy of roast monkey. He fire.
Quently received fatted ape from his subjects,
as a present. and nothing was more acceptable.
Among other strange food served up at his table

! A GERMAN professor, who does not think bald
ness of the head results from bad health or
much study. writes as follows: "The strongest
men are often barehea AIDED, and German PROBES
sOrs, who are nothing if not studious, are distn-
guished above all men for the profusion of their
| locks. On the other hand, soldiers and post-
lions, who wear heavy helmets and leather CAPS
| and wear them a good deal, are frequently as
bald as billiard balls. Therefore badness comes
chiefly of the artificial determination of blood to
the head. and to the heat and perspr alton thence
/ arising. The result is q relaxed condition of the
scalp, and loss of hair. II the skin OF the head
be kept in a healthy state, the hair will not fall
| off To keep it healthy, the head covering
should be light and porous, the head kept clean
| by washing with water, and the hair cut short
| The nostrums vended as hair restorers, and on
| which a fabulous amount of money is wasted
by the ignorant for the benefit of quacks, are
| worse than useless"
