leave it for his tombstone.
True genius lurketh under cover, while ar

The sight of a mans money is oftentimes
the antidote for the odor of very bad char

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
a bacillus. called by him bacillus crini-
vorax," which is the cause of alopecia.
1t is he says, found only on the scalp Of
man, other hrsute parts of the body,
and also the fur of animals, being free
from it, The bacilli invade the hair
follicles and make the hair very brittle,
so that they break off to the skin. Then
the roots themselves are attacked. If
the microbes can be destroyed early in
the disease the vitality of the hairs may
be preserved, but after the follicles are
invaded and all their structures injured
the badness is incuraLle. The follow
ing is DR.. Saymonnes remedy to pre-
vent badness: Ten parts crude cod liver
oil, ten parts of the expressed juice of
onions and five parts of mucilage or the
yolk of an egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and well rubbed in once week.
This, he asserts. will certainly bring
back the hair fthe roots are not already
destroyed but the application of the
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients friends and neighbors.-Medi.

West Gardiner roasts of a dog that
earns enough TO pay his poll tax. He is
big mastif and does a big churning
every week, the churn being fitted up
with a sort of threshing machine treadle
on which the dog walks. The most re-
markable part of the transaction is that
the dog enjoys the business SO well or has
such serse of responsibility that no in
ducenent can entice him from the work
