There Can Be no Question as to ths

The mode Of formation and growth Of tho
hair Is now 50 well known that there can be
no question as to the cause Of badness 1t Is
produced by a failure Of normal nutrition in
The papille at the base OF each hair follicls.
Imperfect work being done In the capillariss,
which are here richly distributed, the cells
which constitute a hair shaft are not formed
IN their due proportion, the old shaft thus
teebly sustained becomes loose and drops
away, leaving nothing in its place This
failure OF nutrition may have a sudden
cause, OF which tho effect will be but tenn
porary. For instance, an attack Of typhoid
fever often leaves the papille Of the scalp 30
much enfeebled thai rapid badness ensues.
Tho pepillas, however, stiu retain their vital
ity, and as the system fegnfns its strength
they quickly recover their potcntfality, and
the hair comes again, perhaps thicker than
before.
IN tho same manner certain ~cutanoous
affections may cause the hair to fall by an
action on the papllm which Is but temporary,
IN such cases recovery, perhaps with assist
ance, perhaps without it, Is possible. In tho
great majority OF instances, however, where
inc head T. bald the failure OF nutrition OF
each papilla has come ON 50 gradually, and

longer exists; It has passed away by arrophy:

eHow long has congress been stsnogrnphi-
cally reportedf was asked Of Mr.. ID.
Murphy, the official s~tenographer Of the
senate.
"The senate was hrst 50 reported in 1913.
There were ollie or two attempts earlier, but
they were unsatisfactory and soon aban-
doned- Tbs present system began in 1888
In the senate, and about 1850 In the house,

Doubtful, / think. There has always
been talk about II, but only talk There
were efforts twpnty-dve years age, perhaps
more, 10 have that feature eliminated, and
to have the debates printed exactly as they
occurred. / remember that JET. Davis was
one OF the most vigorous In denounc-
ing the system permitting revision, and in
urging that the debates be printed exactly
as they occurred. And yet Davis wns one
OF the fastest speakers Of the senate at thai
time, and IL would secm that II anybody
needed to revise his remarks or the steno-
graphic report Of them, IT would be he. But
he scarcely ever looked at his speeches in
manuscript" f-.
Are the ablest men the ones most likely 10
rcvise and polish up their speechssF"
@No: rather the reverse. As a rule the
men who stand out most prominently In the
history OF the senate were Of such habits OF
speech that there was little occasion for
them to revise the reports Of their speeches.
Webster, as l said, was a slow speaker and a
careful one. Seward usually wrote his
speeches beforehand and committed them 10
memory. 80 that often he did not require
them 10 DO reported at all, turning them
over In manuscript.
Seward was pretty careful about his SON
tonoos, and would often change a word here
or there 10 polish than up, as 1t were. Sum-
ner was rather a slow speaker. and did not
mako many changes In bis speeches. Mr..
Chase, Of Ohio. was much given 30 making
changes In his speeches. Lincolnl Well, /
never reported him, but know that he was a
very slow speaker. Douglas was the oppo-
site. a very rapid speaker. Evartsl Well,

They are terrible. Iremember one In his
speech on the Impeachment Of johnson,
which made, / think, eighty odd ines In
