dropped into the seat which happened to be
nearest him when his name was called. 1t
was not very good seat, either. Now he
has a better one.
The selection OF seats IS not without its
comic incidents. When Mr. Baynes name is
called nobody responds. Baynes friends so

out by lB ardlous laOOrs as one Of Reeds
managers.

SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.
How to Make Hair Stand on End-Needlcs
Made to Float.

Get an ordinary tumbler filed to the
brim with water and on it place a sheet
of paper so that the surface of the water
may be completely covered. Now place
one hand on the paper and with the
other invert the glass. Then remove
your hand from the paper and the wa
ter will not fall out, owing TO the up
ward pressure OF the atmosphere.
Again, take a piece OF thick brown
paper about foot square and heat it at
the fire. When hot place it on the ia
bic and rub it with a clothes brush for
about half a minute. Then hold the
brown paper over some small light bod
ies-little pieces of blotting paper will
do-and the light bodies will jump
about in a most excited manner
II the brown paper be hold over some
body's head, several hairs will immedi-
ately stand on their ends, greatly to tho
amusement OF the spectators.
Another even more striking expert
ment. and not 50 generally known, is
performed as follows: Get any piece OF
wood, not too thick, about foot long,
and lay it on tho table in such position
that half OF it projects over tho edge Of
the table. Place broad book on that
part Of it which is on the table. Strike
the projecting part OF the wood sharply
with a strong stick or poker. and the
piece Of wood will smash in two. You
should strike very shaLgly and without
hesitation tr the experiment may fail.
and your book and wood be hurled TO
tho other side OF the room.
ono more experiment "a. perhaps. a
little harder 20 perform than the pro
,edinr. but have seen several persons
succeed with ease. Get a glass of water
and a needle and try TO make tho needle
foat. All that is required il little
skill. In the same way ordinary nibs

sPondeuJ contributes 70 . lsy contem-
porary some remarks pom his profession,
which, although IN some respects con-
tanning . good deal Of truth. are never
theless eonfessedly amusing. HIS main
object IN view is 10 show that be has
made gross mistake "A Joining the
ranks Of medicine. instead Of investing
his money, which had been spent upon
his ed acation. in some business concern
Tie describes himself As a failure, and
this after having worked exceedingly
hard - his profession.
The cause OF his failure he attrib-
utes % the absence OF two things, which
are chiefly essential 10 success in the
medical profession. These, he asserts,
are, in the hrst place, money, and, IN
the second, a bald head / have no
money, and my hair is inconyeniently
thick. Incipient badness gives the ap-
pearance Of a high and dome-like fore
head. and inspires the ladies with con-
fidence. The fortunate possessor Of this
beautiful feature IS pronounced very
clever, which settles the matter Be-
s.des, it is almost indispensable for n
good bedside manner All my medical
friends who are getting on well have
either money or bald heads; most OF
them have both.
at is no doubt very much 20 the ad-
vantage Of young practitioner to ex-
hibit modern antique appearance, and
nothing contributes 30 greatly 10 this
end as head which is innoc Mt Of hair.
There is a real commercial value in a
bald head, and this value is by no means
confined 10 the medical profession.
Whatever advantages, however, IL may
confer on business young man. 70 !
medical man a fair estimate under IA
vorable circumstances would be, at the
lowest, five hundred a year. The as
sumption OF age and ripe philosophy
which man can safely indulge in whose
hair follicles upon the top Of his head
have in early manhood undergone proc
ess of fatty degeneration, leaving a
white expanse of rejecting integument,
is a matter of common observation. The
public are impressed by the appearance
of things under these circumstances; a
bald head will carry conviction TO their
minds when nothing else viii, saving,
perhaps, flowing beard.
Even the lower animals are not in
sensible 70 it's attractions. 1t is recorded
that an ostrich once sat down upon the
bald head of an Englishman, under the
impression that it was an egg which re-
quired Matching. The circumstances
were favorable to this slight error of
Judgment, and the sagacious bird must
be acquitted of having purposely at
tempted TO play a practical joke But
in this matter, as in all things else in
life, appearances are every thing. No
one knows better the value of bald
head than he who possesses it-at all
events in medicine; but how strangely
captious is nature, for while one man,
greatly to his worldly prosperity, con-
veniently finds his head becoming bald,
another has to seek consolation where
he can under the depressing circum-
stances of knowing that his head is the
only place upon which he can not get
hair TO grow"
