How to Delay Badness.

An English physician has written to
the papers to exhorU people not to
grow bald before their time, because
there is no need that they should if
they will take only reasonable care Of
their heads. After promising that one
of the great primal causes OF prema-
ture badness is civilization, withits
many artificial restrictions he dwells
on the Importance of taking care of
the general health as one of the surest
ways of keeping the hair on.
He recommends everyone to avoid
tightftting hats and collars, unless
they be OF some porous material, and
to ventilate all headgear which is not
porous at the top and sides to allow
q free current of air; not to sit or
stand with the top Of the head near
a gaslight or lamplight, as the heat
thrown out is apt to paralyze the scalp
tissue and dry up the hair itself; not
to adopt the common practice of dip
ping the comb in water when arraing-
ing the hair, as it produces decomposi-
ton and rancidity of the natural oil,
and so leads to "rotting;;" not wash
the head oftener than once fortnight,
and then rub in the yolk of an egg,
and thoroughly rinse in warm water,
into which has been thrown pinch of
borax, dry carefully and apply little
pure olive oil; if the hair is naturally
dry. apply a little olive oil occasion
ally; wear an oil cap while bathing, as
salt water is most injurious to the
hair, avoid stiff brushes, treat the hair
gently and use the comb as little as
possible, have the ends clipped once
a month, but not close-crop

The Horse Refused oysters.

A funny story is told of Dean Swift,
who was a witty man and fond of a
joke at the expense or other people,
as most witty people are. One very
cold night, when he was travelling, he
stopped at a little inn. There was on
ly one fire in the house, and theguests
at the inn, crowding about it, left no
place for the newcomer.
With solemn face Dean Swift call
ed to the hostler and told him to get
peck of oysters and take them out
to his horse
''Will your horse eat oysters, sir?"
asked the astonished man.
"Just take them out and see," said
the horse master.
The people around the fire stared at
the man who owned this curious horse
and nearly every one of them left his
seat and went out to see the remarkable
horse eat oysters.
Then the cunning Dean made
himself comfortable in the warmest
corner and ordered his supper.
{ Presently back came the hostler
with the disappointed crowd after
him.
Gle won't touch them, sir'' cried
the hostler.
Then take the foolish animal all the
oats he can eat, replied Dean Swift.
"You can bring the oysters here.

The Story Of a Wrecked Life and Its
Tragic Ending.
"some years ago, said the gambler
as he lay back talking to a Philadel-
phia Press man, II was in California,
and while there frequented a very
fashionable place There came to
this place every night a young man.
We all liked him, because he seemed
rather innocent, and many OF us gave
him the advice to stay away, but he
only smiled and said he would some
day.
Zone night he came, looking rather
pale, for lately he had lost very heav-
| ly- He sat down and commenced to
play in an excited manner; but game
after game he lost. He took out his
pocket and placed all the contents
on the table and lost. Then Isaw HIM
turn pale and take a package from
his pocket and stake that-lt belonged
to his frm-and he lost it.
After that he passed in his watch
and received the cash.. staked that
and lost. Two OF his rings followed
and were lost. We all felt sorry for
him and heartily wished he would
win. Atlast all he had left was a
thin gold ring, not worth much. He
looked at IL and the expression that
came over his face, is one shall never
| forget.
'Hepassed in the ring, and although
it was worth about ST. the cashier ad-
vanced $50. He played, and the boys
put up allhis money, the firm 8 money,
his watch and rings against his $50,
and he won. Then when success came,
he laid his head on his arm We wait
ed five minutes for him to get up, but
he did not, and then we lifted his head
and saw that he was dead
owe found out afterwards that the
ring which changed his luck was his
dead mothers ring. l often tried to
| think what agonies he must have suf-
fered; what recollections must have
passed before his mind" ...
