Tho Increase of Baldness.

1t is curious how caducity has in
creased, and the prevalence Of it taken
away the old reproach. All the argu-
ments are against its existence, and
all the facts prove that the arguments
are misleading. People lead healthier
lives now than they used to do, and
yet they are balder. People lead
longer lives, and yet they grow bald
earlier, and, morever, it is the
healthiest people who are often
the baldost. Indeed, it almost be-
comes a question whether in
these days badness is evidence to a
very reliable extent either of age or of
delicacy. Of tie decay of vital power

who has recently been here visiting
her sister, Mrs. w. H. Wilder, met
with q remarkable experience at Roch-

Mrs. Halls veil became detached from
her hat and slight breeze quickly
waited it over the railing and out Of
reach. Down it went toward the Main
street walk, 100 feet below. The ladies
stood and watched its slow and waver-
ing descent until it had nearly reached
the pavement. Suddenly it struck an
other current of air and was borne
upward again. The ladies watched its
graceful movements curiously and be-
came more and more interested as the
airy fabric slowly travelled back in al
most the same route it had taken In itz
descent, and their surprise knew NO
bounds when the veil actually re-
turned to tho tower and settled down
fairly and squarely on the owners
head. Mrs. Hall declares this to be
the fact, and those who met the lady
here certainly have no reason to doubt
her word.-Caledonia Advertiser.
