TREATMENT OF BADNESS.
Diseases That Are Frequently Followed
by Loss OF Hair.


Diseases That Arc Frequently Followed
by Loss Of Hair.
The lifetime of each individual hair
is from two to six years. At the end
of that time the hair falls out, and il
at once replaced by another which
grows from the same root-sheath.
In healthy scalp this process con-
tinues indefinitely; but in certain dis
eases the life-history of the hair is not
so long, and the hairs die and fall out
before their full length is reached.
The next generation may have still
less vitality. and the same process
may continue until there is left an
area covered with a stunted growth Of
poorly-developed hairs. Later, even
these may fall out leaving patch en-
tirely bald, or covered with a fine,
downy growth. This condition
occurs more frequently in women than
in men, and often follows exhausting
diseases, such as scrofula, fevers and
nervous exhaustion.
In ordinary badness the history is
entirely different. Here, the fully
grown hairs drop out and are replaced
at once by the downy ones, and when
these disappear, smooth, shining
surface of skin is left In this case
there is an atrophy of the hair bulbs,
and consequently the hair can never
be restored. In the former case the
trouble is due to deficient nutrition,
and if this defect can be remedied the
hair will grow again.
Certain diseases, especially those
accompanied with high temperature,
are usually followed by more or less
complete loss of hair. Typhoid fever
presents very notable example of
such an effect. In some forms of neu-
ralgia, also, there is badness along
the course of the affected nerve.
A very curious phenomenon is the
falling of the hair in small. isolated,
round or oval patches, which are apt
to be at the back of the head. They
are small at first, but gradually in
crease in size away from the center.
This condition occurs in both sexes,
and especially in the young. Some
times there is itching and tenderness
in the spot, but in other cases there is
no local symptom to give warning of
the approach of the disease. The
cause of this affection is not surely
known, but very likely it is due to some
nervous disturbance.
1t is comforting to know that with
the exception of the badness of old
age. the loss of the hair may be only
temporary, and that, with restoration
to health and the removal of the par
ticular cause, the hairs will grow
again.
A general course of tonics, with
shampooing and proper applications,
will give good results. although it is
sometimes months before cure is es-
tablished. COMPANION.

THE ROMAN MARRIAGE.
How the Nuptial Rites Were Carried Out
in Ancient Italy.

How the Nuptial Rite. Were Carried Gu.
in Ancient Italy.
Independent of the legal forms there
were the social observances of mar.
riage, which were the same whatever
was the legal ceremony chosen. At
nightfall, when the star of Venus be-
gan to shine, the bride was fetched
from her fathers house. She was
dressed in white robe. symbol of
her virgin purity, bound round the
waist with a WOODEN sash; her hair
was plated N six tresses after those
of the vestal virgins; on her head she
wore hame-colored vail and fresh
wreath of the sacred verbena, for the
wife was priestess in her family.
Under the protection of Juno Domi-
duca [the home leader) she passed
through the streets, accompanied by
her friends. and lighted on her way
with torches. BY her side walked a
young boy. carrying an open basket
in which there lay hank of wool, a
distaff and spindle, for spinning was
the great duty of the Roman matron
of the Republic. To be good spinner
was a gem in her crow n of virtues, by
the side of chastity and frugality, and
the emblems of this occupation were
held in honor, even at the times when
the chosen pursuits of women were
very different Arriving at the door
of her new home she found it wreathed
with flowers in honor of the festive
occasion. On the door-posts she hung
fillets of wool and anointed them with
Oil as a symbol. it would seem, of
fertility. She was then lifted over the
threshold, 4 custom in which we NAV
see survival of the time when wives
were habitualiy stolen from neighbour
ing tribes and carried by force to
their husbands house. In the atrium
the bridegroom received her, handed
to her key as the sign of her rule in
the house. and offered her fire and
water to represent the necessaries of
life which We're at her disposal An
swerlng to the fixed formula in which
he addressed her. asking who she was,
she replied: Where you are Caius
there l am Gaia" as We might say:
Your people shall be my people,
your house my house. and your life my
life. The pair then sat side bv side
on two chairs covered with the fleece
of sheep and the priest joined their
hands. The marriage contract, fixing
the amount of the dowry and the mode
of its administration, was then signed
and banquet followed. during which
five wax candles We're burned, while
from the walls the waxen masks of the
husbands ancestors, decked for the
occasion with flowers, looked down
from their open cupboards with ap-

LOVELY woMAN,s ERA.
Feminine Might IL Not In Force, but
Solely in Example.

Fomlnln0 might MOI IN EOrc0s OOs
Solely in Example.
Each year the dividing line between
mans and woman's work grows mar
rover, and we hear less and less OF
..wom ans sphere" and what she may
or may not do. By her extraordinary
strides, one might say, during the last
ten years, woman has become recog-
nized factor In the world, beyond the
cradle and the hearth. This may in
truth be termed the woman's era A
woman's work to-day is exactly what
she can undertake and do-just what
she is capable of and fitted for.
Though women encroach more and
more on mans domain, they should
bend their energies, not to the filling
of mems places, but to the making
of business records as women. doing
their work, not like men. but better.
and with greater patience and in
tegrity, because they are women.
There is some truth in the charge
that business women sometimes grow
brusque and self-assertive like men.
A long fight with the business meth
DDS of men now and then develops
this spirit in woman. Sometimes
a woman adopts this manner of mas
culine goodfellowship and independ-
ence, with vague idea that men
will, in some manner, be more i'm.
pressed with her and entertain a
greater respect for her ability.
This is a great mistake. An effem.
mate man and masculine
woman are social and business
denominations. They are caricatures,
having either inherited or acquired
characteristics which belong to neither
men or women. Business associa-
ton and diligent practice may enable
a woman to raise her voice, walk with
an independent strut, and meet men in
a hail-fellow sort of fashion, but her
painfully-acquired accomplishment
can serve only one purpose-that of
making her fair average failure all
round.
Every thing that a woman may do
while maintaining her self-respect is
woman's work. If woman is physic-
ally strong, and without other ties or
obligations, let her break on railroad
train. or pilot an ocean steamer if she
will She may follow any profession
or trade. That one woman is making
money as carpenter and another as
a blacksmith settles the questions of
suitability in these occupations. In
all her work. however, let her pre-
serve the woman's characteristics.
Let her set an example to men in their
rough-andtumb BILE greediness by gen.
tier and more honest business methods.
Leave braggadocia, cheating and
swindling to men. Let smoothness,
courtesy and sincerity characterize
the business methods of woman.
Woman's might is not in force. 1t
is in example. She can not compel,
but she can always lead. To do as
men do may seem the brave way. but
to remember that she is a lady before
she is a business woman would insure
to woman her best success. and help
to acquit the working-woman of the
oft-times-truthful charge of offensive
masculinity. Washingtou Post.

DESIGNATING THE DEAD.
A New Process for the Disposition
Human Bodies.

A New Process for the Disposition Of
Human Bodies.
A unique plan for the disposition of
the dead, with reference to the preser-
walton of evidence in capital criminal
cases, was recently laid before the
Medico-Legal convention. This sys-
tenn consists of scientific process of
desiccation by which the tissues are
deprived Of moisture and kept in a
state OF complete preservation, and
in condition which renders a critical
examination and a chemical analysis
of them at any time simple and
easy matter The bodies are to be
laid away in sepulchers arranged in
tiers and rows in a great mausoleum,
with more or less privacy, according
to cost. each body to be perfectly &C
cessible at all times The sepulchers
will each have one opening for admit
ting the body. In this there will be q
plate-glass door, and, outside, a mar
bic or metal door for safety. When
the outer door is opened the body
may be seen. without discoloration or
decay, but IF course exceedingly
emaciated. The preservation of the
body is effected by means of current
of dry air passing through conduits
formed in the concrete of which the
sepulchers are composed. which bring
the dry air into the sepulchers at one
nn6 Nyh 10 M tho ha,, -,
passes out laden with the gases and
moistures of the body, which are car
ried to furnace and consumed, so
that no deleterious gases or offensive
odors can escape to the outer air. A
moderate current of such dry air &C
composites the desired purpose in
about ninety days. After the work 10
finished, the conduits are Theoretically
closed; oxidization and decomposition
are prevented. and the body remains
in view through the glass door. This
mode of disposing of the dead avoids
all the unpleasant feature of earth
burial and its attendant unsanitary
evils through poisoning the earth and
water and storing disease germs to
break out in future epidemics. The
mausoleum system, as the projectors
call it. meets all the objections which
cremationists urge against burial, and
also meets the objections to cremation,
by the preservation of the body,
avoiding the shock to the sensibilities
which revolt at the thought OF
destruction by fire of the remains of
loved ones. Other advantages of this
new process are that it will prevent
premature interments. and secure the
body from theft. Many prominent
physicians and lawyers have given
their approval to this scheme, for
which an organization has been
started in New York City, with view
to carry out the plan on an extensive
scale.-Demorest's Monthly.

ONE of the architects who helped NJ.
Eiffel to build his tall tower says that 1t is
doubtful if tower 1900 feet high can be
constructed. Every thing depends on
the exact ratio at which the force of the

transportation of the materials above a
height of 1,0OO feet would be exceedingly
risky.
