TREATMENT OF BADNESS.
Diseases That Arc frequently Followed
by Loss of nair.

Diseases That Arc Frequently Followed
by Loss of Hair.
The lifetime of each individual hair
is from two to six years. At the end
of that time the hair falls out, and is
at once replaced by another which
grows from the same root-sheath.
In healthy scalp this process con-
tinues indefinitely; but in certain dis
cases the life-history of the hair is not
so long, and the hairs die and fall out
before their full length is reached.
The next generation may have still
less vitality. and the same process
may continue until there is left an
area covered with /; stunted growth Of
poorly-developed hairs. Later, even
these may fall out leaving a patch en-
tirely bald, or covered with q fine,
downy growth. This condition
occurs more frequently in women than
in men, and often follows exhausting
diseases. such as scrofula, fevers and
nervous exhaustion.
In ordinary badness the history is
entirely different. Here, the fully
grown hairs drop out and are replaced
at once by the downy ones, and when
THESE disappear, smooth, shining
surface of skin is left. In this case
there is an atrophy of the hair bulbs,
and consequently the hair can never
be restored. In the former case the
trouble is due to deficient nutrition,
and if this defect can be remedied the
hair will grow again.
Certain diseases, especially those
accompanied with high temperature,
are usually followed by more or less
complete loss of hair. Typhoid fever
presents a very notable example of
such an effect. In some forms of neu-
ralgia, also, there is badness along
the course of the affected nerve.
A very curious phenomenon is the
falling of the hair in small, isolated,
round or oval patches. which are apt
to be at the back of the head. They
are small at first but gradually in
crease in size away from the center.
Several patches may thus run to-
| gether and cause badness of nearly
| the entire scalp.
This condition occurs in both sexes,
and especially in tho young. Some
times there is itching and tenderness
in the spot, but in other cases there is
no local symptom to give warning of
the approach of the disease. The
cause of this affection is not surely
known, but very likely it is due to some
nervous disturbance.
1t is comforting to know that with
the exception of the badness of old
age, the loss of the hair may be only
temporary, and that, with restoration
to health and the removal of the par.
ticular cause, the hairs will grow
again.
| A general course of tonics, with
shampooing and proper applications,
will give good results, although it is
sometimes months before a cure is es.

Ex-Governor Hartranft.

One of the busiest men of his time,
and one of the most useful in his day
and generation, was the late Ex-Governor
John Frederick Hartranft. His brilliant
record as commander during the war
is partof the history of his country, yet
it is to be observed that he was not
West Point graduate, any more than
Forrest or John Morgan, two of the
atbitest generals jH the southern army.
Governor Hartranft's life was crowded
so full Of work and honors that it will
require volume to record them. In
war he stopped the Confederate advance
at Chantilly: he led the soldiers of Burn
sides Ninth corps that captured the
bridge at Antietam. At Fredericksburg
a third of his regiment were left dead on
the field. Later he earned the name of
the hero of Fort Steadman. In peace he
served as governor of Pennsylvania from
1878 to 1879.
He will always be remembered in his
civil capacity for the active interest he
took in the state militia, and the high
state Of efficiency to which it was
brought. At his death Gen. Hartranft
was major general of the Pennsylvania
National Guard.
Finally, we note once more this melan-
choly fact: Few Of our generals in the
late war live to be old men. Ex-Gover.
nor Hartranft was not yet go.

RrihinS the Cronin Jury.

sit has no parallel in history" said
Lawyer Luther Latin Mills, speaking of
the attempt to bribe the jurors in the
tCronin murder trial. The attempt came
within hairs breadth of succeeding,
90, The stupendous audacity of the
move is what strikes one most forcibly
It is clear there is somebody intensely
interested in clearing the prisoners, no
common person or persons, either, but
those who have money in plenty. Their
agents meet a criminal bailiff in the
spot usually selected for plotting and
crookedness, drinking saloon. The
bailiff, one of the guards of the very
prison and court itself, had "several
rounds of drinks as long ago as last Au-
gust, with a stranger whose name was
Graham. The stranger proposed that
the bailif Hanks assist in fixing" the
Cronin jury to prevent conviction of the
prisoners. For every juror thus infiu-
enced Hanks was to get $4,000, half for
himself, half to the bribed juror.
Various ways of "fxing" the jurors
were agreed on. Hanks waited not long
to begin his unlawful work. He let a
fellow bailif into the secret, who agreed
to help him. Thence on the two scoun-
drels worked together. They did not
succeed because some of the men they
sought to bribe revealed the plot.
That in brief is an outline of the story.
But there are points of especial interest
to be looked into. We observe that the
sworn officers of the law were ready
enough to take the large bribe and lay
themselves liable to the penitentiary.
Who were these infamous bailiffs? The
citizen who recommended Hanks to the
sheriff for appointment said he rec.
commended him because he knew him
as a politician and ward hustler.
Another officer of the lava jus.
tice of the peace-recommended the
other guilty bailiff to the sheriff. Being
questioned as to the ground of his rec
onnmendation, this model justice of the
peace replied: 81 knew nothing of him
except as a politician" Neither Of the
two seemed to have any trade or honora
BILE support.
The men they sought to .bribe were
ordinary working men. One vase me
chanic, another a bookkeeper. The po
Iitical officers of the law could be bough
and sold. The. men who earned an hon
est living respected their own manhood
and could not be.

1t is quite possible that before many
wears the common fuel of the country,
in regions where gas is not attainable'
will be crude petroleum. Several in
ventions for this purpose have been
made, more or less satisfactory. The pc
troleum is conducted to the burner from
a tank at a safe distance. At the burner
it is converted into spray and mingled
with powerful current Of air. A flame
of intense holiness is produced, suitable
for iron and steel welding, and other op-
erations in metal work. The next in
vention will be to utilize it for private
dwellings. One Of the greatest difficult,
