There Was Something i'm That Solid
 Head.

Head.
 A number of years ago a stubby young ! man with big mouth and solid-lookine head was taken on the Galesburg division of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad as freight brakeman. He seemed to pay no attention to the sports indulged in by his fellow brakemen when off duty but spent most of his time around the shops learning how to run engines and picking up informa- tlon about the machinery of railroading. One day tall, clerical looking man was rid = ing i'll the caboose of the train on which this young man was employed. The tall man seemed to take a kindly interest in the young brakeman, who answered his ques- tions courteousiy, but did not permit the passenger to interfere in the least with his duty. Finally the train came to standstill and it was found that it had met another freight train at a station where the side
 track was not long enough to hold either train. The problem presented was: How
 were the trains to get by each other? In this day that would be solved very easily
 but it so happened that at that time, when railroading was 8 very different matter, neither conductor had encountered such a condition of affairs and both supposed that one of the trains would have to back up to a station with longer side track. As the conductors were discussing this the tall pas senger and the young brakeman came up to them. When the young man understood the situation he said to his conductor respect fully:
 'You can get by"
 "How, I'd like to know?" said the con- ductor.
 The young brakeman picked up stick and marked out in the mud what is now known to every railroad as Etsawing by" The trains were sawed and went their way. The next day the young man was called to the division superintendent's office, where he met the tall passenger-Superin- tendent H. H. Hitchcock-and was taken in to his more immediate employ, where he learned telegraphy and became a train de- spatcher. In 8 short time the office of master of transportation was created, and the young man was given that place. From that day he has grown rapidly, and now the man who rides over the Chicago and Alton rail- road on the general managers pass reads that young brakeman's name at the foot of it.

CAUSES OF Badness.
Applications of Stimulating Washes an,
TONES the Main Remedy.

Applications of Stimulating Washes and
TONES the Main Remedy.
The cause of the falling out of the
hair is not fully understood. In most
cases it is doubtless due to some failure
in the nutrition of the hair follcles. In
the aged it connects with the feebleness
that characterizes the functions of the
skin generally. Heredity has much to
do with it, as it has with all the bodily
functions and organs. Individuals in
some families become bald early in life
from generation to generation. Coarse
hair seems to have more viger than fine
hair.
1t is well known that violent emotions
some times suddenly blanch the hair, the
cerebral nerve (the tropic center. So
called). which controls the nourishment
of the hair, being affected by the shock.
Fright has caused rapid and almost
immediate falling off of the hair. Cases
are on record of persons apparently in
vigorous health whose heads, faces and
bodies have become absolutely bare.
There was no appreciable cause The
fault was doubtless at the nutritive
center in the brain, but what it was no
one can certainly say. When the
head is scurfy. there is often a
connection between this condi-
ton and badness. 1t is found
that the scurf mixed with vaseline and
applied to the hair of an animal causes
a badness of the part. In such cases
the cause is probably microscopic
vegetable parasite. Two persons should
never use the same hair-b brush. There
is little doubt that BARRIERS have thus
communicated badness from one pa
tron to another. There is q form of
badness in which the hair suddenly
begins to fall out in a small round
spot, which gradually increases in area,
the hair near the edge of the circle be-
ing brittle, and more or less broken.
This has been proved to be due to
vegetable organisms, which the Micro
scope has detected within the hair
tubes.
1t is probable that coverings which
heat the head may result in loss of hair.
But the effect is doubtless due to sub
sequent chilling of the surface, just as
severe old or inhammatory rheu-
matism may result from sudden cooling
of the heated body. The main remedy
against premature badness is the appli-
cation of mild stimulating washes and
tones. s. YOUTHS Companion.

rom Alaska.
The character OF rock in the Pilgrim
edge of the Wagner Greek Mining COM
paDy is reported as showing constant inn
provement as the shaft goes down.
Simmons, Ennis & Co. have resumed
putting in fiuming in their huge mining
ditch near Waldo, and expect to get to
work before another season passes. The
past was a favorable one, and they made
more progress with their cut than they
expected to.
The only quartz mill in Alaska is that
on Douglas island, about two miles from
juneau, constructed by the Alaska Mill
and Mining Co., at an expense of about
s400, 900 with a capacity of about $50
tons per day, and turning about $50, 900
per month.
Q. @. Beekman has let a contract for

PERILs OF INFANCY.

Doctor, why is it that so many children
die before the age of yearsT
The subject is complex one, and in
its analysis we have to consider not only
the various conditions surrounding the
infant, but the still more important one of
the latent tendency to disease. The
fashionable mother the self indulgent
father, hand down to their children over
wrought nervous systems and weak
physical powers. which result in early
death, or more often life of protracted
feebleness. Very little of the common
sense which is exercised in the rearing
and preserving of choice stock exists In
relation to the human animal. 1t would
require too long time to enter into all
the questions of heredity which influence
the fate of the child. They are, however,
of vital Importance both to the individual
and to the race. That the race is gaining
in intellectual capacity is an undoubted
fact; but we are losing just as much or
mere in physical power. We see no such
robust forms, such perfect development of
the muscular system as existed fifty years
ago. We are breeding children in and in,
and every generation will witness smaller
and smaller infants, who will at the same
time have more delicate nervous organ
isms, and, as a result, more nervous dis
eases. Add to this the enervating enYi
ronment, the houses, the sleeping apart
ments, the nurses and attendants who
govern its food and raiment, and we may
easily imagine the result in the feebeness
of the infant"
"Gil Bias writes: MY troubles com
menced just nine months before l was
born, and the same assertion may be
made of the children of to-day. Eor
healthy, strong offspring, there must be
healthy, strong parents. The peril of the
child lies not so much in the adverse con-
ditlons OF its life as in its incapability to
withstand them, and thisis due in great
measure to the physical condition of its
parents during CESSATION"
But, doctor, may not something be
done to remedy this weakness in the
parentsH
much. If parents will understand that
upon the integrity and strength of their
nervous system depend the health and
life OF their infants, and at the same time
add to their own happiness, the result
will be less mortality and less sickness OF
their infants"
What will best strengthen feeble,
nervous systemP
Fresh air, exercise less struggle for
fashionable or social distinction, and a
careful attention to the food or drink
which supplies the elements of nerve
force. Ii the system has notpower enough
at first to eliminate these from food, then
they may be taken as medicine. And
since we know upon what the nervous
system depends for strength, the comb
nation of phosphorus, albumen, protagon
etc., known as DUJARDIN's LIFE Essence
will furnish the material in q proper
form for absorption, and even for feeble
children there can be no better remedy.

A PUZZLED PROFESSION.

The history of Rheumatism and many
OF the attempts to cure it, form one of the
strangest records in the annals of dis
ease. rheumatism is one of the most per.
verse and obstina of all diseases.
One OF the chief kfallacies in attempts to
cure rheumatism has been administering
local treatment as it were q disease con-
fined to particular spots.
The one thing to be remembered in deal
ing with rheumatism is that anybody who
has this unpleasant disease has 1t "all
over" 1t is disease of the blood, and it
pervades the whole system Therefore the
whole system needs purifying and vitaliz
ing. Is not this reasonablel
Next, remember that there is one great
vitalizing agent. 1t has been before the
world number of years long enough to be
thoroughly tested. The hosts of strong and
hesrty persons W no once were sufferers but
have been. made sound and happy by Com
pound Oxygen, cheerfully testify as to the
power and success of this great vitalIzing
agent. Quietly, easily and surely it does
its work, driving out of the blood those
elements which have caused the mischief,
renewing. purifying, and restoring to new
and enjoyable life.
Among many others who have been res
tored to health by Compound Oxygen, after
suffering prOtracted agony from rheuma-
tism. may be mentioned the cases of Mrs.
OF Lylchburg, Va. For years these ladies
have been martyrs to rheumatism in its
most painful forms. The story of their re-
covery will be found in a brochure pub
lished by DRs. STARKEY & PALEN Ii

RESTAURANT PIES.
Hard Facts Prought to Light by Scientific
Investigation.

Hard Facts Prought to Light by Scientific
Investigation.
The restaurant pie is of an impreg-
nabe nature that defes the onslaughts
of man and renders vain the efforts of
steel implements to open it.
There was once a restaurateur who
furnished patrons with giant powder
free when they purchased his pies, butt it
required such vast quantity that he
finally became insolvent
These pies make a durable paving
material, being much more lasting than
cedar blocks, and have also been sue
cessfully used as saddles, when nodded
in the proper shape and provided with
stlrrups.
Instances are on record where they
have been furnished with handles and
used as sledge hammers to good effect,
but they were most too heavy to WELD
easily.
The interior of the common peach pie
is matter of grave doubt, and many
savants have been baffled in their efforts
to determine the question. Another sa-
want and myself once tried to find out,
but after quarrying for two or three
days were obliged to des st.
The mince PIE is equally vague. and
is splendid guide to the nightmare and
a premature grave.

ty of the manufacturer accompanies
them, showing that they were OF made
