'sIhe preservation of the hair and the
prevention of badness is q matter to which
/ have given considerable attention and
thought" said barber not far from the
New York World Office the other day. "And
have come o4tke conclusion that all the
patent tonics that were ever compounded
by my craft are not half SO good as few SIM
pie and natural remedies which a child can
make and use. It is, of course, impossible
to prevent badness whore it ia hereditary,
but it can, however, be warded off.
1.-The hair, like every other portion of the
human frame, If uncared for will 90 to
waste and eventually drop out. This is due
to the splitting of the end of the hair. SO
that the interior oil duct, which nourishes
the hair, is exposed and the natural nour-
ishment Of the hair runs to waste, overfows
upon the head, forming dandruff which i'm
pedes the growth of the hair Just as much
as the tares among wheat. The best means
to prevent this Is n Strengthening of the
hair, and this can be easily accomplished by
frequent cutting and the use of salt and
what bushy hair seafaring men have? I
followed the sea for number of years;
don't remember of ever having seen bald
sailor. It is because their hair ID in con-
slant contact with the 1nVlQOratlnR salt air,
and is often wet with salt water. A good
tonic OF salt water should contain tea
spoonful of salt to tumbler of water, and
should be applied to the hair two or three
times week.
1.-THE effect at thu end Of month will be
surprising. If the hair is thoroughly
washed once week with CASTLE soap and
the scalp rubbed with yaseline, the hair
will not only cease to fall ont and the
dandruff disappear, but will actually
thicken. Having once got the hair in good
condition. vigorous dry brushing and
resort occasionally to the treat
ment have described will keep it SO.
Balzac, the famous French novelist,
was great stiokler for brushing ana
rubbing the hair, and claimed to have
warded off badness for long time, though
he inherited 1t from both his father and
mother.
1T is alarming how prevalent badness
now is among young men, and attribute it
entirely to the stiff Derby hat now in vogue.
The hat impedes the circulation Of the
blood on the crown of the head and thus
shuts off from the hair large portion of
its nourishment. The soft hat is far the
best. Next

Parnell on his visit to America, nominally

he had stated he would give Parnell two

been praised for his liberality to the Irish

that if he has been liberal he has hidden

street Car PrnnnIsIon.

It is becoming very evident that the
cable is falling out of competition with
electricity for street car propulsion.
The cable as a factor in rapid transit,
has manifest advantages, but the in
f1exibility of the system, as regards
speed, must always prejudice its use in
crowded streets. So long as the track is
clear cable cars proceed admirably, and
without any special danger of accident,
but as soon as the pavements are
blocked, which so often happens, the
danger of the use of the cable becomes
apparent. 1t is very difficult to work
through crowded thorougfare without
the ability to back car or to run it at
a greatly reduced speed. 1t is just here
that the electric car is so manifestly
superior, as it can be started, stopped,
or reversed with the greatest ease and
safety. Again, the cable system is un-
able to make up lost time; a cable car
once delayed must stay delayed, while
an electric car can put on speed at any
favorable moment The inconvenience
TO the public, too, of the frequent breaks
| in the cable is exasperat1ng, as the cable
is then useless throughout its entire
length. On the other hand, it is seldom
