What Causes Badness.

Speaking OF the number of bald
heads to be observed in public gath
arings, a prominent physician said
to a Mail and Express reporter: II
cannot tell you the aus ofbaldness.
The most plausible view among
many doctors was that badness was
especially liable tofollow the wearing
of q tight-ftting hat, the blood YES
sells being CONSTRUCTED and the scalp
deprived of the necessary supply OF
blood. But this view has been con-
troverted by u fact brought to light
about the Parsees of India. The
Parsees are compelled to keep the
head covered during the day by q
hat SO tight as to crease the scalp
and possibly the skull, and at night
they wear a skull-cap; and yet not one
of them has been known to be'bald.
The Orientals say that worry cause
the hair to fall, and it may be true in
some cases. The general state OF
health naturally affects the scalp,
but the fact remains that no special
cause can be given for badness. 1t
is doubtless ~congenital, like many
other peculiarities, and the best
thing a man can do about it is to
keep his body clean, take care of his
health and let his scalp alone

MIR. Vanderbilt,s F~lagstones.

There r now being shipped at
Oxford station, on the Ontario and
Western Railroad, lot of the big
gest tiagstones ever quarried in the
United States. They come from the
Clark quarry, about a mile from the
station, and are intended to form
the sidewalk in front ofMr. Frederick
Vanderbilt's new house on Fifth
Avenue, New York. There are twenty
stones altogether, and each is twenty
feet long, ten to fifteen feet in width,
and about twelve inches thick. The
largest stones now lying; in a New
York sidewalk are the enormous
slabs in front of the Equitable Build
ing, but the Vanderbilt flags are
considerably bigger and heavier than
those. AS they are now being ship
oed thy are in the rough, and are
consigned to Hastings on-the-Hud-
son, where they will be dressed and
finished. The fiat cars on which the
stones are transported were spec
tally built of a strength to bear the
great weight, and special machinery
is required for loading and unload
ing the flags. 1t is estimated that
che stones when laid down in the
walk in New York will have cost
$1,000 apiece.-N. Y. Times.

Pleasures Of Being Chewed by Wild
Beasts.
In a recent letter to Junius Henri
Brown author ola paper of "The Fear
of DEATH" Sir Lyon Playfair writes:
81 have known three friends who
were partially devoured by wild
beasts under apparently hopeless
circumstances of escape. The first
was Livingstone, the great African
traveller, who was knocked on his
back by alton, which beganto MUNICH
his ARM. He assured me he felt no
fear or pain, and that his only feel
ing was one of intense curiosity
as to which part of his body the lion
would take next. The next was

bassador in London. A bear at
tackled him and tore off his hand and
a part of his arm and shoulder. He
also assured me that he felt excessive
lly angry because the bear grunted
with so much dissatifa MUNICH
ing him. The third case is that ofSir,
Edward Bradford, an Indian officer
now occupying a high position in the
Indian Office. He was seized in a SOL
itary place bya tiger, which heldhim
firmly between his shoulders with one
paw, and then deliberately devoured
the whole arm, beginning at the end
and ending at the shoulder. He was
positive that he had no sensation of
fear, and thinks that he felt none
during the munching ofhis arm"

Horrible Details of a Premature In.
farmenf.

In Russia people are oftener than
elsewhere condemned un~intention-
ally, of course-to that most grue
some of all deaths, of which E. p.
Poe had such unfeigned horror-bur-
led alive. But the circumstances
accompanying this frightful torture
are seldom SO characteristic or so
horrible as in the case ofthe wife of a
peasant in the government of Volhy-
MIA, ON the borders of Austria, who,
according to the local journal Volhy-
MIA, was lately buried in a comatose
ST ate. She was expecting soon to
become a mother at the time of her
supposed death. After the corpse"
had been kept the usual time, the
parish priest, Konstantinoff, recited
the prayers of the burial service in
the churchyard; the widower cast
three handfuls of earth on the coffin,
and all departed except the grave
digger. In filling up the grave the
latter shOveled in an unusually large
sod of hard earth, which struck the
coffin with a loud noise, and woke up
the unfortunate woman from her
sleep. The horror of her position at
once dawned upon her. She cried
out in most piteous tones to the
gravediggers to rescue her from her
horrible death. She solemnly prom
Used them all her property if they
would take her from the grave and
coffin. The more she cried and en-
treated the more strenuous were their
endeavors to fill in the grave; and on
leaving the churchyard when their
work was done they still heard her
cries and means. They at once hur-
ried off to her husband, who was
surrounded by guests, drinking to
the memory of the deceased. Hav-
ing related what had taken place,
the matter was discussed by the
guest and neighbors, who soon came
rushing in, and it was finally resolv-
ed mem. con that an evil spirit had
taken possession of the deceased, and
that, in order to prevent her walking
at night and disturbing the people,
1T was absolutely necessary to disin-
ter her and drive an aspen stake
through her body. The mir sent a
deputation to the priest asking per-
mission to disinter the body and per-
form this superstitious rite deemed
necessary in all suchcases. Thepope,

Emperor Williams Income.

Epoch: William III. has no fixed
salary as emperor of Germany, but
there is about a million dollars that
he can use if necessary. AS king of
Prussia, however, he has a civil list
amounting to 1850, 900; but the
taste for travel and other expenses
incurred in the interest of the empire
necessitates, it appears, an increase
of revenue. So when the reichstag,
reassembles aproposal will be madeto
add several millions OF marks to the
imperial civil list. The emperor's re-
cent journey to Vienna and Rome
cost about 5000, 900. Among the
presents that he distributed along his
route were eighty diamond rings,
thirty diamond and emerald neck
laces, fifty scarf pins, thirty gold
watches and chains, six sabers studded
with diamonds and emeralds and a
hundred boxes of cigars.

OverstOcked with MediOcres.

When an y profe ssion or calling is
over-stocked it means, generally,
that there's too large an amount of
mediocrity in such profession or
calling. Or, in other words, there
are too many who can do the same
thing equally well. There is always
a place for the better worker, the man
or woman whose individuality and
originality can strike out in some
new path and make an Improvement.

worker has force enough to keep on
pushing his or her talent to the front
and not use that same force up in
dwelling on discouragements.-

A Good Rule for Stables.

The following is one of the rules of
a prominent livery stable in this city
where horses of many wealthy men
are boarded. "No man will be en-
ployed who drinks intoxicating
drinks. No man must speak loud to
any one of the horses, or in the stable
where they are. Horses of good
blood are nervous, and loud, excited
conversation is felt by every
horse in the stable that hears it.
Excited words addressed to one horse
are felt by every other horse that
hears them, and keep them all ner-
vous and uneasy. No man may use
profane language in the hearing of
the horses" If such a rule prevailed
in all the livery and many other
stables through out the country, the
welfare of all concerned would DE pro-
NOTED. Let it be generally adopted.

Winter Rye.

On many farms, says the Plough
man, a few acres of Winter rye might
be grown to as good advantage as
almost any crop. 1t requires but
little labor, and not much manure.
and in most localities the straw will
pay the cost, leaving the grain as
clear profit. Very few crops draw
so little from the land, and very few
have SO few enemies, or are so GER
tain to produce good crops every
year. Growing as it does in autumn
and spring it is not affected by
summer droughts, and it is gather
ing in substance from the surround
ing atmosphere at a season when
other crops S the least; for this
reason a crop of rye takes but very
little fertilizer from the soil.

Directions for Shipping Poultry.

The following directions for ship
ping poultry to market are furnished
by the we'll known commission firm
of New York, f.. & o. Ward:
Poultry should be entirely cold,
but not frozen, before being packed.
If packed with any of the animal
heat in it, it is almost sure to spoil.
Slight freezing does not greatly in
iure the sale, buthard freezing, espe-
cially whep it produces discolora-
ton, reduces the value % to so per
cent. Boxes containing about 200
pounds are the best packages. Bar
rels may, however, be used, they are
better for chickens and ducks than
for turkeys and geese, as the larger
kinds get bent and twisted out of
shape in them. For packing, use
only very clean, dry and threshed
wheat or rye straw in the bottom of
the package, then alternate layers
of poultry and straw, slowed very
snugly upon the contents, keeping
them firmly in place. Always put
the different kinds in separate pack
ages, and mark the kind on the COW
er. Generally Dur best markets for
poultry are Thanksgiving, Christ
mas and New Years. Turkeys sell
well at either of these occasions, but
best at Thanksgiving, especially
large ones. After New Years small
turkeys sell better than large. Geese
sell best at Christmas, and chickens
at New Years. Lots shipped for
these special occasions should arrive
in sufficient time before the event to
meet the best sale. Poultry that ar
rives too late often meets a very
poor market.

The tariff should not only be revised
and the revenue reduced by friendly
hands, but no time should be lost in
doing it. An extra session of the
Fifty-frst congress should be called,
and the tariff question settled at once.
If once settled on sound, economic
principles the effect will be so benefi-
cial to the nation that the republican
party will be endorsed more thor
oughly and widely in 1892 than in
1888. The sooner it is done the bet
ter, for many reasons. 1t will remove
all fears of change in our fiscal
policy. 1t will give enterprising
Americans an opportunity to develop
in this country many new and impor-
tant branches of industry. With
thousands employed in these newly
established Industries, and the price
to the consumer reduced, the protec-
tionists will be doubly armed with
facts in 1892 to meet the exploded
arguments of the free trade theorists.
