FOR Ladies with Bald Heads.

Badness is a rare infrmity among
ladies. Doubtless one reason is because
they are their own hair-dressers. Occa-
sionally the hair falls out from severe
fevers, as typhoid, but it is usually re-
stored without treatment Some ladies
seem to have inherited tendency to
badness. Thinning out of the hair also
occasionally occurs in consequence of
constitutional i'll health. Probably no
better chair restorer" has been found
than cantharides. A simple, and per-
haps as good as any other application, is
made with one ounce of the tincture of
cantharides, four ounces of bay rum and
ten ounces of water. This should be
we'll rubbed into the scalp every day.
Quinine has some repute as hair tonic
The usual proportions are two drachms
to pint of water. Common water may
be used. Tho mixture should be made
up by druggist, who will need to
add a little dilute sulphuric acid, and a
few drops of some perfume oil will rem
der it more agreeable. 1t would be well,
also, to add TO each pint of the mixture
two or three ounces of glycerine. APP
ply this tonic once or twice q day. A
rapid gain must never be expected from
the use of any hair restorative. Even
the best of them are not likely to have
any noticeable effect until after they
have been persisted in for several
mon hs.- Boston Herald.

LION TAMER MARTIN.
Recognized by the Beasts After an Alb
sence of Five Years.

Recognized by the Beasts After an ABB
sence of Five Years.
When the celebrated animal tanner,
who died lately, had retired to private
life, one day he took a notion that he
would visit his former large menagerie,
which he had not seen for five years. 1t
was in BRUSSELS, and he started for that
city from his country seat near Rotter-
dam.
At four o'clock, the time for feeding,
he entered the menagerie. Being winter
time Martin was wrapped in cloak.
He mingled with the crowd and waited
until the animals would receive their
food, for which they were waiting with
wild impatience. While they were eat
ing he began to cough. Suddenly the
animals paused i'll their treat and lis
tened, then broke into wild howls Of
ioy and tore at the iron bars, so that
many of the timid visitors fod from the
menagerie. The parrots, kangaroos,
pelicans and monkeys began to screech
and scream, the hyena and wolves
howled-in short, it was perfect bed
lam.
Then Martin stepped forward. With
a movement of his hand and with his
powerful voice he commanded silence,
and suddenly every thing was quiet.
He swung himself over the bar which
Sc ~ rated the visitors from the animals
anu put his hand in the cages to fondle
the animals. A mighty tigress showed
more Joy than any of the others. When
Martins hand glided over her magnifi-
cent fur her limbs trembled nervously;
she uttered weak, tender grunts, and
through the iron bars, with her rough
tongue, she licked the face of her former
master When he went away she lay
down without eating any more food.
There was lion named Nero who
had once bitten Martin in the hip and
had been severely punished by him for
it, The lion had an unreconcilable
hatred for the animal tanner. Nero
made no other motion at Martins ap'
proach than lift his head and eye him
intently. He remained in his place,
lying still in the back of his cage, when
Martin came near. Martin spoke to him.
He did not answer and viewed Martin
with apparent Indifference. But. when
Martin was going away, the lion, with
mighty spring, entirely unexpected,
threw himself against the grating,
pushed his paws through the iron bars,
and with his claws tore OFF part OF
Martins cloak. BY quick movement
Martin escaped another injury from this
] animal. Louis Globe Democrat.

feared that this fight would do them dam
age, las every once in awhile resounding
thud on the boats bottom would show
that the ravenous creatures cared little
for such vessel as theirs. All of
sudden a big fifteen-foot wounded shark
rose short distance Off, with another,
double his size, in pursuit. He rushed
on, and in jiffy had sprung right into
the boat and the other followed. 'Tis
hard to say who were the most surprised
the sharks or the captain and his crew.
The monkey flew up the mast chatter
ing with fright, while Emmanuel sought
safety on the bowsprit and the captain
jumped into the cabin. The two big
fish floundered around in the boat the
sides being just high enough to prevent
their getting over again. The boat
rocked to and fro frightfully as the
huge sharks kicked about Captain Joe
