White Hair Turned Black.

The patient was a woman aged -.
who had had snow white hair for
twenty years. For the symptoms of
commencing ur9mia, due to contract
ed kidney, twenty to thirty minims of
extract of jaborandi was prescribed
several times daily. The drug was
taken from October, 1856, to February,
1883. During the autumn of 1887 the
eyebrows were becoming darker, and
the hair of the head also became
darker in patches. This continued
until the patches of hair were quite
dark. contrasting with the patches Of
snow white hair. The hair did not
universally change before her death.
In 1881 DIR. Prentiss had published
another case of kidney disease, pyelo
nephritis, treated with pilocarpine.
The hair of the patient, lady aged
rs, changed from light blonde to black
under the influence of the drug. The
pilocarpine was administered hypoder>
mlcally (one-sixth of grain) twenty.
two times in the course of two months,
the dose was then increased. In ono
month after commencing the treat.
ment the hair changed from a light
blonde to a chestnut brown: four
months later it was almost a pure
black" 1t is satisfactory to find that
eight years afterward, the hair is again
q dark brown. DR.. Prentiss ascribes
the phenomenon to the iaborandi and
its active principle, pilocarpine.
Cases where, as the result of the in.
fuence of the nervous system, in pain
or fright, the hair has changed color.
are pathological curiosities. So little
Is known, however, of tie fhvsiolo9i-
cal influence of the nervous system
over the growth and nutrition of Tue
hair that it is at present quite impos-
sible to understand how a drug admin
istered internally can affect the color
of the hair 1t would be interesting
to learn from other practitioners who
have used jaborandi or pilocarpine for
an extended period, whe.t r any
change in the color of the hair has
been acknowledgements Gazette.

GEN. IMBoDEN, the well-known ex-
Confederate. was before the Ways and
Means Committee yesterday in the in
terests Of protective tariff. Mr.. I'm
boden says he represents not skilled
labor. but unskilled labor. The men
who worked the mines in the South
were principally negroes. These peo-
pie had to be provided with work. II
they did not receive work they would
live on the whites dishonesty. A me-
gro would not steal if he could get work.
Negroes were the best mine worn ers.
They were practical, industrious and
faithful. if they were paid promptly and
treated kindly. Let Congress do moth
ing which would deprive these people
of the opportunity of making an hon
est living by delving in the ground
with pick and shovel. He
General Imboden) Was . protectionist;
he had always been one. and he believed
that il in the South there could be
fair and square vote on the protection
issue, without any extrsneous issues, the
protectionists would overwhelmingly
carry ct least four or i've Southern
States. The North had been made rich
BY protection; it vas now the oppor-
tunity Of the South to besoms rich. II

Fruit In England.

English agricultural journals draw
attention to the great increase in fruit
growing IN that country of late years,
In 1889 there were some so, 900 acres
OF fruit trees all told in England.
Now, however, the area has increased
to PA, 900 acres. But even with SO
great an increase in the supply the de-
mand Is far from being satisfied, and
rs q consequence last year nearly four
million bushels of apples alone were
imported, at cost Of $500, 900, most
OF them coming from America. Eng.
ilsh farmers are consequently urged to
devote stlll more attention to the Gull
1vation of fruit e San Francisco

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. March IA moderate bust
ness was transacted in wheat today and
the market ruled rather quiet most of the
session, only occasionally relieved from
dizziness by temporary spurts of trading.
For MAY business was slow, trade center
ing mainly in July, in which a fair bust
ness was transacted in the aggregate. May
opened1I@114c higher declined with some
fluctuations 25Ic, advanced 115c, closing
&c lower than yesterday. June advanced
84c, declined lie, and closed &c lower. July
opened 50114c higher, declined 115c, raj
lied &c, closing &c higher. May operators
closed their May trades, while July seems
to be gaining more attention. The pro-
ionged absence of rain and talk of too dry
weather in some sections of the winter
wheat states has influenced buying for
new crop futures, and evidently was the
basis on which the advance was estab-
,ished.
Corn was moderately active at times,
though most of the session the market
ruled quiet The feeling on the whole was
firmer, and slightly higher prices were
established. Opening sales were shade
higher than the closing prices of yester-
day, influenced some by moderate receipts,
eased off &c on selling by prominent
local operator, reacted &c, became steady
and closed a shade higher than yesterday.
The activity and strength noted in oats
yesterday was continued today on an en-
larged scale, and an advance was recorded.
The bulge was due entirely TO maneuvers
of local operators, who, after a recession
of 1S@Ic soon after the opening, took
hold and by vigorous bidding started the
shorts into buying. a few outside buying
orders were also received, and prices were
bid up PC for May and 5S01Lc for June
with heavy trading. The bulge brought
out COOP many lines of long stuff, the
Milwaukee bull party being credited with
selling the largest quantity. A recession
of &c followed, and the market closed
steady at about yesterdays closing sales.
Trading was quite brisk in pork during
the greater portion of the day. Opening
sales were made at &c decline and further
reduction of 5@715c was submitted to with
comparatively light trading Later the
demand improved and prices advanced 20@
25c, but a reduction of 215@t5c was acceded
toward the close and the market ruled
quiet. A fairly active speculative trade
was reported in lard and the feeling was
stronger. The market opened firm at
21t@5c advance bat soon weakened and
prices receded sligshtly Later the demand
improved and prices rallied 50715c. re-
coded again 2]s@5c, closing steady. Short
ribs We're more active and strong with an
advance of 215@5c.
