HIS NEW CROP OF HAIR.

Queer Sensations on Mans Scalp In Get
ting a Second Growth.
1.-THE hair on the head does sometimes
grow again after it has fallen out" said
middle-aged butcher with crop on his pate
to NewYork Sun man. "When got to be
half bald babe farewell to the locks Of
youth, as the poets sav-and why shouldn't
butcher read poetry?-but last year be-
gan to get queer feeling on top OF my head,
and could not keep from scratching it all
the time. often scratched hard enough to
make my scalp turn red, and my wife, who
didn't like to see Inc doing it, called me the
old scratch. After while little hairs be-
gan to sprout on the bald skin, and they
kept on growing for over year, till now you
can see. as the poets say, that the locks of
my youth are returning; but they don't
have the color of the lost locks, for they are
gray"

Fashionable Rage for the Violet.

Baltimore American
Now that the chrysanthemum has nearly
gone, the violet has stepped in and taken its
place as the most fashionable flower. Each
year the demand for violets increases, until
now florists make special feature of them
and grow them by the thousands. On the
street and at the germans or private enter
tainments nearly every fashionable girl
wears large cluster of the little flowers.
The fashion, though it seems to be at its
height, is still ON the increase. Men, too,
have taken up the violets, and wear them
constantly In their button holes.

a writer in the New York Star. This is not
a corner decorated with glaring fans or

ugly little red and yellow joss sitting under

are the chief charm of the corner

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

The fire on Liberty street yesterday morn
ing, which destroyed many thousands OF
dollars worth of property, had the usual
origin and result. Responsibility for 1t can
not be laid upon anyone's shoulders, but 1t
should arouse a large number of property
owners to action to minimize the danger OF
similar catastrophes in the future.
Nearly all the principal streets in the So
called business part of the city, from Grant
to the Point, are full of old buildings, relics
of a period when business was in its infancy,
and to which they we're no doubt adequate,
but methods have so changed and the vol
ume of transactions so expanded that they
are in all respects unsuited to the require
nents of the present times. Besides, they
detract from the dignity of the city by CIV
ing a shabby appearance TO the streets. Vlsl-
tors remark this more than citizens. These
buildings are all occur pied because there are
no others to be had for love or money, but
their occupants are so hampered for room
that they can neither enlarge their business
nor show their goods to advantage. Some OF
these properties are SO dilapidated and con-
tracted as to be unfit receptacles for any or the
finer lines of merchandise, and rent at hgure
that yields the owners in some cases not over Z
per cent on the Investment.
Many of these properties belong to estates:
Others are owned by individuals, who VIII
neither improve nor sell at fair price. They
are held so far above the market that buyers
are unable to figure out profit and abandon
the quest. AS a prominent broker put II
yesterday. these people-these fossilized own
ers-are standing in their own light besides
retarding the development of the people. Ii
they would sell to those who would improve
arNA s,rn hafr n
they would be making dollars where they are
now making cents and confer boon upon the
community. But, SO long as they will neither fish
nor cut bait, the unsightly tumbledowns must
be endured the wheels of progress be blocked
and the liability to disastrous fires be constant
menace and dread.
Owners of these properties would do well to
take these structures, which are made In
friendly spirit, into consideration and endeavol
to find a way by which the city can be relieved
of its difficulty.
