Hygienic View Of Badness.

A physician recently expressed
himself on the subject OF bald heads,
stating as his opinion that bald
headed people die sooner than those
who have a good head of hair. In
many cases they take cold easily,
and go of with pneumonia Or con
trac. consumption or chronic bron-
ch;tis. The doctor urge all bald,
headed men to wear q skull-cap at
all times, as wigs are Questionable,
contending that if the hair were not
intended as q protection to nan he
would have been created without
!; any. He has noted many cases OF
pneumonia, and, where the patient
is q male over forty years old, the
proportion is over one-hal( in favor
Of being balheaded. Bald heads are
one of the signs Of a state of civiliza.
ton including ease, luxury and
high living, but also point to
physical degeneration of the race.
Those who arc bald should adopt
the skull-cap or other protection
for the head.

PEN Picture Of the Midnight
Sun.

The midnigh hit sun is thus described
in "a Jubilee Jaunt to Norway"
Imagine yourself on a ship at
anchor looking west Or straight in
front Of you. There is q broad
expanse Of sea a little to your right
hand, behind you will be the ragged
coast, aad to your left the long,
narrow ford between the islands
and the mainland that the steamer
has just travcrsed. You watch the
sun as it slowly, slowly sets ; the
island and the coasts look like a
rich, dark purple, and he shadows
cast by the ships mast, etc., grow
longer and longer. After a bit,
when the sun had sunk apparently
twelve feet from the horizoae, it
stops and seems to remain stationary
for about twenty minutes; then the
very seagulls hide away, while the
air OF a sudden strikes. chilly. Each
one has an awed, eSpcctant feel
ing, and surrounding even the
tourist steamer brood5 a silence
that may be felt. Soon the sun
srises very slowly once again, and
the yellow clouds change with his
uprising to even greater beauty,
FIRST to the palcst primrose and then
10 a blush pink. The sky, which
was just now rose color, becomes
gray, then pale emerald green. and
Justly due. Rock after rock stands
out caught by the suns bright rays
and the reign o. day has begun
once more.

Specific Education.

Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook ten
thousand dollars a year, my boy,
which is a great deal more than you
and | carn--Or at least it is 4 great
deal more than We get-bccausc he
can cook. That is all. Presumably
because he can cook better than any
other man in America. That is all.
If Monsieur Sauccangrayi could
cook tolerably well, and shoot d
little, and speak three languages
tolerably well, and keep books fair
Iy, aud sing some, aud could preach
a fair sort OF a sermon, and knew
something about horses, and could
telegraph a little, ard could do
light porter's work, and conld read
proof tolcrabIy, could do plain
house and sign painting, and could
help on a threshing machine, and
knew enough about law to practice
il the justices courts Of the Kicapoo
Township, and had once run for the
legislature, and knew how to weigh
hay, he wouldn't get ten thousand
dollars q year for it. He gets that
just because he knows how to. cook,
and it wouldn't make a cents diff.
ference in his salary if he thought
the world was fat, and that it went
around its orbit on wheels. There's
nothing like knowing your business
clear through, my boy, from withers
to hook, whether YOU know any
thing else or not. What's the good
of knowing everything? Only
