lIr,Ia Frank SAWYER.

son OF Fred Il. Sawyer, employed at Thomas
Briggss confectionery. $40 Congress street, Port
laBd, has been growing deaf since he was four
teen months old. At that time he was taken wi h
what the doctors at first thought was measles,
but what turned out 10 be scarlet rash. This left
him with severe sore throat and a discharge
from the ears more or less all the time. From
this the little fellow gradually grew deaf until he
could scarcely hear anything without being yelled
at This has continued for nearly five years.
Mr.. Sawyer did everything in his power for his
boy employing the best physicians and trying
everything he could hear of, but use, the child
slowly but surely was fast becoming hopslessly
deaf. MIS-. Sawyer had been reading of the many
cures constantly being made by Doctors Smith
and McMullen. the magnetic physicians at the
U. 5. HOTEL and thought perhaps there might be
help for the boy. That was three weeks ago.
The child was taken under the treatment of
Doctors Smith and McMuen at once. Today he
can hear any conversation. The discharge from
the ears has ceased and the boy is in every way
welllas any one. The father and mother of little
Frank, (who by the way is very beautiful and
bright little fellow, cannot half express their
thanks TO these celebrated doctors for performing
such wonderful cure upon their child
Doctors Smith and Nc Mullen treat every form
OF chronic disease. They are permanently locat-
ed at the U. S. Hotel and can be consulted free
from a. m. to 5p. m.

REMARKS OF Ex-MAYoR PUTNAM.
Ex-Mayor William l.. Putnam stated that
II nothing further was to be said on behalf
of the sremonstrants. he desired to speak
briefly in behalf of the petitioners. He said:
l have seen great deal in the newspapers
about the liberality of the city to railroads;
that the city has already done great deal,
AID therefore ought not to grant this petit
tion. think the only proposition the Mayor
and Aldermen have to consider is, not
whether his is for the advantage of the
Portland d Rochester railroad or any other
road, but whether it is for the advantage of
the city, and as far as | have anything to say
1t will be on that point only 1t does seem to
me that this question ought to be settled
now. do not agree with my friends, Judge
Symonds and Brother Walker, in forbidding
boys to go into the water until they have
learned to swim. ! do not believe you can
ever increase the business interests of the
city by refusing them facilities until the in
terests are developed. The two are to go
hand in hand. In some cases the business
interests will anticipate the facilities; in
other cases the facilities must be furnished
before the business interests will develop.
That Is exactly the condition of things on
Back Cove. 1t seems to me this question
should be settled now. In the course of a
year or two matters may change SO
that the Inconvenience arising from the
facilities now asked will be greater than they
are today. 1t seems to me that people who
are going to deveope that part of the city
should know as soon as possible what they
may expect with reference to the develop
ment of 1t; that the time has come when the
City Government should lay out broad and
wise policy about that whole swale that runs
from Green street through to st. John
street. This is not new matter; 1t was
under consideration as long ago as when /
was in the City Government. 1t is time to
determine whether that portion Of the city
Is to be improved as Mr.. Burgess says, by
building on the low level, or whether 1t is
to be Improved. as l have supposed, by
bringing Grove street up. twenty or thirty
feet to proper level and so leaving it that
this railroad, when constructed, would hard
ly be seen as 1t goes through. As to the
minor questions which have been raised

pha or Baltimore. In a word. she is better

with the great West than any Of the Eastern
cities. This is a bold statement, yet true. and
upon such fact we base the future CONNER
elal growth of Richmond.
No power can keep her back. she has al
ready increased in the last ten years more
than any city in the Union.
Thus situated. with the tides Of the sea and
the passes OF the mountains in her favor.
Richmond presents greater advantages com
mercially than any other city In the United
States.
I. She has from her commanding position
the largest and most productive back-country
of any citv in the United States.
II. She is by virtue of her position the great
distributing depot Of Virginia. North Carolina.
West Virginia, South Carolina and large sec

III. She IS by virtue Of her position the chief
railroad centre Of the South. Six railway
lines meet in her limits. two Of them great
trunk systems, which drain each third Of the
continent.

About Bald Heads.

Mr.. G.. H. Wheeler, President of the
British Theological Association,w writ
inc from st. Leonards-on-Sea to the
London Standard on the subject of
badness, SAYS:
Will you permit me, as tricholo-
gist of over twenty years experience
and practice, to inform your readers
that it is not the fact that the future
man will be bald. any more than the
coming man will be consumptlve,
equity, or nervousp There will always
be certain number of bald personsi
but if those suffering from loss of hair,
before it gets too bad, would adopt ra-
tional hygiene, and give up fads and
deleterious habits of keeping the hair
and skin of the scalp dry and free
from oily substance, they would be
taking the best means to prevent the
increase of that number. L can prove
that pure grease of any kind IS a great
assistance in maintaining the balance
between waste and repair in the func-
tons of the hair, and especially when
induced by constipation, morbid dlges-
ton, or morbid state of the nervous
system. Bathing the head in cold
water also causes loss of hair, ana so
does having cold water after hot when
one is being shampooed, from the
changes which it induces in the net
work of capillares tat surround the
hair papille. Hair brushing by ma
chinery, am sure, is responsible for
hundreds of bald heads.
At certain periods of life there is in
some persons an innate disposition Tor
the skin and hair follicles to take on
diseased action, as is proved by the
different forms of atrophy and degen-
Grafton we so often meet with, even In
the apparently robust. in our every
dav practice. The British Trichologi-
cal Association, to which | have the
honor to belong, has offered prize OF
gold medal and diploma of honor
for the most instructive and exhaust
i've treatise on hair and scalp diseases,
which l hape will be the means OF
diffusing more knowledge of great
value both to the profession and pub
lie, for up to the present time there is
not scientific work on hair disease.
Our Materia Medica is rich in rene
dies, but we require to know more
how to use them. | feel sure that
MANY now bald need not be so.

Al Lake Superior Iron Mine.

Gen. James S. Barnett of Cleveland
was one of the first investors in the
now famous Lake Superior iron min
inc region. He is soldierly looking
man of 90 or 90, with large face OF
yellowsh-white hue and IA snow-whlte
mustache and goatee. Talking the
other day about the experiences OF the
pioneer iron mines about Marquette
he said: II was one of the original
stockholders in the Cleveland mine.
1t has paid dividends amounting to
some $1,000, 900 in the thirty years IL
has been operated. But it began boy
pulling long and hard on its stock
holders The first iron was brought
out of there in pork-barrels on sleds.
Then we were assessed to bulld cor
duroy or plank road that cost So OoO;
Before that time the assessments had
been moderate, but this road nearly
ate us up. l was obliged to spout my
stock to get money to pay the assess
ments. Three years later the man
who loaned me the money insisted
that | should pay him back, and was
unable to do it. | was so discouraged
that | told him to take the stock ana
cancel the debt He wouldn't do 1t,
however, and | managed to keep the
interest paid. Soon after the owl
dends began to be declared and gradu-
ally paid off the debt. 1t was long
time until we got transportation Iacll-
tiles by rail and steamboat.

The farmers of this country waste
enough feed each year to winter as
many animals as they keep; that is,
by saving all food and feeding it ju-
diciously, they would double their
fiocks and herds.
There is no farm interest that
tends more surely to profit than
sheep on lands suited to grazing,
especially where weeds or bushes
interfere with successful cultivation,
or on lands to rough too till easily.
If the manner or feed box be SO
foul as to emit a sour smell from
any cause, it should be carefully
cleansed and washed with solution
of soda OF potash until perfectly
sweet again.
The Massachusetts Experimental
Station concludes that bushel of av-
erage hard wood ashes is worth for
the potash and phosphoric acid alone
eighteen cents. taking the CONNER
cial price of these ingredients as a
standard.
Organic manures comprise all veg
etable and animal matters which are
used to fertilize the soil.
| Chemical manures are those which
enter into the construction of plants,
or produce such chemical effects on
matters already contained in the
soil as shall prepare them for use.

Human Judgments.

Jesus never mentioned any of
earth's great men (so-called) with
words of praise. There had been
great conquerors before his time,
like Alexander the Great, but he
never alluded to them. There had
been philosophers, like Plato and
Aristotle and Socrates, but he never
spoke of them. Rich men had re-
ceived the notice of their fellow-men,
but he never mentioned them by
name. None of those of whom his
tory speaks most largely came in
for word of commentator from
him or his apostles in later years.
This should bid us pause, and make
us stop to think whether our human
judgments are not totally faulty.
Have we not put the seal of great
ness where it does not belong.
In what respect is the world bet
Ter lO-UdS lOI lHS SAISGcACO VI OhS
rich men like Cresus, of conquer
ors like Alexander, of philosophers
like Plato, of authors like Cicero ?
What really valuable thing should
we lose had such men never existed !!
Gather all the oonquerors of the
world together, and say whether
they have been as useful to the world
as one John Bunyan or one John
Wesley. Put all your philosophical
books together, and declare whether
they have accomplished as much for
humanity as the epistle of Paul to
the Galatians. Match Bismarck and
Luther and Judge whether politician
or preacher has the best of it in the
| long run. On the other hand, If
YOU blot out Abraham, Joseph, Mos
es, David the singer, Elijah, Isaiah,
John the Baptist, Paul, from human
history, you usher in blackness of
darkness. r. .Schau65er.
