A CURIOUS legal muddle has arisen
in Iowa in consequence OF hasty legis-
lation. Among the acts of the late
General Assembly was one providing
for the election of county attorneys
and legislating the district attorneys
out of office at the end of the present
year. The act Internationally repeats
section 3,775 of the code, which fixes
the salaries and fees of district attor-
neys. As the act takes effect on pub
lication-which has been completed
the apparent effect is to cut off all sal
aries and fees of the attorneys who
have eight months to serve.

BALD MEN.

The Startling Increase Of Alopecia In the
United States.
It has been estimated that one-half the
adult men of American birth living in
our cities are bald-headed. The estimate
is not exaggerated, if it is applied to
persons above the age of thirty, and it
may be rather under the mark. II. now,
it be conceded that one-half of our Amer
lean business and professional men are
bald at the present time, it would be in
feresting to speculate as to the condition
Of the heads of their descendants some
hundreds of years from now. The prob
abilities point toward race of hairless
Americans, for badness is extremely
liable to be propagated in the male line.
and to appear q little earlier in each
generation. The American Nation is
threatened with the catastrophe of uni
versal alopecia-
The answer has almost always
been that it is due to the excessive
strain and ceaseless mental and physical
activity to which American methods of
business and modes of living conduce.
From the visitors gallery of the Stock
EzxCu6uSts AOA CAaAuPAOs VuO siOHs a
mob of shining pates belonging, as q
rule, to rather young men.
The sens of prematrrely bald fathers
should bear in mind that if they wish to
save their hair it will only be through
industrious attention to their scalp.
This much-neglected surface should be
thoroughly cleansed at certain intervals.
It should be- carefully and regularly
examined, and if it be unhealthy. dry
and scurvy, the proper applications
should be made to it. The wearing of un-
ventilated hats is one of the greatest
sources of failure of nutrition of the
hair, and these must be avoided. The
beard never falls out, because it gets
plenty Of sunlight and air. These are
what the hair Of the scalp needs, also.
Women are less bald than men, because,
for one reason, their scalps are better
ventilated. In fine, civilization has
made the hair-producing organs of the
scalp delicate and feeble. They have
| to be nursed and cared for, or they
atrophy and disappear. Young Ameri-
cans who do not wish to lose their hair
before they are forty must begin to look
after their scalps before they are twenty.

Then leaving them to get over their
establishment as best they might, | re-
turned to the house in high spirits. The
name, Count VILLAIN, had given me the
clew to the whereabouts of Lenore. The
dwelling of which have spoken as sit
uate across the plain and opposite the

I had met the old gentleman in the city
and formed a speaking acquaintance
with him. As neither of us had men,
toned our private affairs, l had no
means of connecting his daughter with
my invisible girl. That afternoon |
presented myself to the Count and. after

few tests convinced him was true, for

As my wealth and social position were
well known he offered no objections and
his daughter was sent for.
As she entered the room l saw that
my idea of her had been less than true.
/ had never seen so lovely woman nor
one who so perfectly embodied my high
est conception of grace and beauty. Her
dark eyes, still wet with tears, met mine
inquiringly.

willing to ratify the contract we made
when we were only voices, Lenore?

1t may be supposed that l received a
satisfactory answer, when the good
natured Count found it discreet to turn
away his eyes during my reception OF
it.
As to the strange circumstances which
was the means of uniting us, a series of
tests revealed q remarkable acoustic
property in the rock by which persons
standing in certain positions with refer
ence to it were able to hear each other
with ease more than quarter of a mile

are none the less grateful for the good

Having decided to finish the year IN

found what wanted in the outskirts o.
the ancient city of Lucca, one Of the
loyeliest spots in the peninsula. The
house was quite new, and in every way

absurdly low. I questioned the agent
in regard to this circumstance. Hav-
ing my money safe, he could afford to
be truthful.

HOW to Grow Gallery.

AS soon as the ground is fit to work
in the spring SOW the seed on a rich,
level piece OF soil, thoroughly pulver-
lied and we'll mixed with fine stable
manure. Mark the bed out in rows
eight inches apart and SOW the seed
at the rate of about an ounceto every
twenty feet. Pat the bed down after
sowing, with q spade, or roll ii you
have a roller. Keep the weeds out
from the very beginning. Cut off the
tops as the plants grow, say twice, be-
fore setting them out, which may be
done from the middle OF June to the
middle OF August, July, perhaps. be-
ing the best time. Prepare theground
we'll and set in rows three feet apart
and six inches apart in the row. Firm
the soil around the roots, especially
If the weather is dry at the time OF
setting out. If everybody would learn
to press the soil firmly around all
plants when setting them, it would be
of great benefit. Six or seven weeks
after planting, the weeds being kept
down in the meantime, begin to earth
up. Draw the soil close up to the
plant with a hoe, and still closer
around the plant with the hand, leav-
ing it firm enough to keep the plant
from spreading. The soil must be
drawn up or thrown up with the hoe,
plow, or spade, clear to the top of the
plant. This is the blancning process.
