To Cure Baidness.

Dr. Hutohlaon, In American Magazine.
 A few words anent one of the most common forms of skin disease among us. Badness Is % widely spread, and 90 universal among us, that 1t is quite fashionable. Nevertheless, shall give c couple of recipes for that form that is accompanied by falling of dandruff, which is technically known as dry seborrhea of the scalp. In nine tenths of these cases & cure Is possible, that Is, hair may be restored If sufficient patience is allotted with other treat ment. Owing to the barber's failure to give back to man his hair, a gen. eral impression exists that there is no use to try once bald, always bald.
 This is scarcely ever true of sebor- rhea, not in fifty per cent of cases from other causes, and whosoever will try these recipes will be convinced of their efficacy.
 For 6 week, at the outset of treat ment, the scalp is to be thoroughly washed with a reliable tar soap, such as any apothecary sells, drying the hair thoroughly, but not rinsing out the tar. If hair has vanished let the lather dry upon bare spots. Then be- gin with wash composed of resorcin pure, one dram; castor oil, one-half ounce bay rum, seven and one- halt ounces. Mix.
 This is to be applied morning and night, and well rubbed in. After two weeks of lotion, have the following pomade prepared, and rub into the scalp and hair 6 portion the size of a hazelnut every morning. Salicylic acid, ten grains; ammontated mercury, five grains; cold cream, one ounce. Mix.
 After one weeks careful attention to this treatment, the bald spots will be covered with a fine, thick, silky growth, that Is forerunner to a crop worth having. Try 1t.

Do We Live Longer.
Boston Globe.

There is good reason to believe that the average American of this last quarter of the nineteenth century Is longer lived than his ancestors of the last century. The most casual reader cannot fail to have been struck with frequent notices in the daily papers of men and women who have lived we'll on into the nineties, and promise we'll to become centenarians. The best medical opinion of the day is, that the average duration of human life is not only being made longer, by reason of the improved diet and better sanitary conditions of these latter days, but that 1t Is capable of being still further heightened by still greater improve ments in our ways and means of living.

THREE LUCKY MEN.
Trio of Chicago Men Have Fortunes
 Thrust Upon Them.

Chicago was specially fortunate in the March 12th drawing of the Louis jana State Lottery Company, no less than three residents of this city having "struck 1t rich" In that drawing. Learning the names of the lucky ones, a TRAvELER representative called upon them for confirmation of the report of the good fortune that had befallen them.
 George Reichhold, of 179 West Mad ison street, was first seen. MT. Reich hold is prosperous saloon- keeper at that number, and upon being ques- tioned, smilingly responded: "Yes, I held one-twentieth of ticket No. 10,- 420, which drew the second capital prize of $100,0OO in the March 12th drawing of the Louisiana State Lot tery. l received my $5,O00 by Amer ican express five days after the drawing took place. This is the first prize of any size that l have ever drawn, though I have frequently bought tickets in the lottery. shall invest this prize in comfortable home in the suburbs Of Chicago, that, think, being the best use can make or the money"
 Congratulating MT. Reichhold, the reporter next called upon MT. Valen- tine Balz, Lake Shore railroad switchman, stationed at the Archer avenue crossing. MT. Balz resides at 2l6S Archer avenue, and when ques- tioned, said that he had held one- twentieth of ticket No. 19,69O, which drew the fourth capital prize of s25,- 900 in the March 12th drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery. He has received his money, and is much elated at this comfortable addition to his small income.
 MT. A. J. Scott, colored, residing at No. S6 Fourth ave was also one of the fortunate ones. In an interview, MT. Scott said: "I have often bought tickets in the lottery but until now without result. You may imagine my surprise when I found that ticket 10,420, of which number I held one- twentieth, had drawn the second capital prize of $1OO, ,OO0 in the draw ing of March l2th. I received my $5,OOO by express a few days after the drawing took place, and I already have my eye on come choice suburban lots in which I know I can invest this money to good advantage"
 In these three instances fortune has surely favored the deserving. All of these lucky men were poor, and as their suddenly acquired wealth will be put to good uses, no one will grudge them the comfortable fortunes f0 which thav havo fa Han hair

The Austrian Journalist.

The Austrian journalist has tho same
literary methods as his German relative,
but he must supply a ~livelier and larger
paper 10 his readers, who are q rather
frivolous lot, and he has not such anus
ing advertisement columns. Frequently
the Austrian editor makes extensive use
of his Imagination. and he can invent
thoroughly. Some time ago one of the
best known Vienna papers published a
long paragraph %purporting to be o tele-
gram from London. 1t was very inter
esting. 1t told how the three daughters
of the Prince of Wales were walking
down Whitehall when they observed that
a wretched looking woman selling
flowers was doing no business. They
therefore took her basket and sold
flowers for about three hours. making q
great deal of money, which they gave
10 the poor woman. The story did not
have the least foundation in fact, Of
course, and the princesses were not in
London anywhere neal the time the Incl
dent was said TO have occurred. Wash

Flies and WOlyea.

When visiting a friend last summer he
called my attention to a curious plan for
preventing the plague of flies in his
house. The upper sash of n OF the
windows in his sitting room being open
for ventilation, there was suspended out
side n piece Of common fishing net. My
friend told me that not a fly would ven
ture to pass through ii. he has watched
for an hour vt a time, and seen swarms
fly to within a few inches of the net and
then, after buzzing about for a little, de-
part. He told me the flies would pass
through the net if there was a thorough
light-that is, another window In the
opposite wall. Though the day was very
warm, ! did not SEQ a single fly in the
room during my visit, though elsewhere
In the town they were to be seen in
abundance. I suppose they imagine the
net to be a spiders web, or some other
trap intended for their destruction.

that in Russia no wolves will pass under
telegraph wires, and that the govern
ment are utilizing this valuable dis
covery, and already clearing districts Of
the country from these brutes.-Notes

There has been considerable talk abou
Deibler's want OF dexterity in dispatch

hear the same thing, for Deibler Is q
little, h~esitating man, with anything but
an impressive way of doing business.
His appointment as executioner caused
many heartburnings, for, when Helm
drichs died, there were 800 applications
for the post. Deibler has married the
daughter of Roch, the previous "NIon-
sieur dc Paris" He had also served as
assistant to Hendricks, and had made
several important Improvements in the
mechanism of the guillotine. Consider

very nervous man, and he has never for

When this chunk of philosophy had
been delivered the little fellow went on
to say hat his father had gone from New
York to work at his carpentry in Oregon;
that he was going to be a carpenter hum
self, and knew how to build houses pretty
well already. He had had no trouble in
