JOY FOR sAIDHEAD6.


An Inventisa That Premises to Make Life
Worth Living for Many.
The wind has long been tempered to
the shorn lamb. but the baldhead has
had to take the blasts a. they came. No
special dispensations in the matter Of
weather have been made ON his account
He has had to look out for himself, and
the fact that he survives 50 humerously
Is perhaps better evidence of his husthng
ability than of his innate goodness.
Why, no one appears able to tell, but
certain it is that from time immemorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
| reverence.
1t will be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to Ego up" This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved journey to sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. Be
that as it may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute of hairy adornment has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule.
But it is long lane which has no
turning, and the baldhead's turn has
come at last. Some enterprising philan-
thropist has invented a polish for the
hairless crown which is warranted to
turn it into thing Of beauty and JOY
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of a polish, which is easily ap-
piled by barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown a shine so brilliant
that it dazzles the eyes and so smooth
that upon it no fly can gain foothold.
Those who have never experienced
the joys and sorrows of badness may
not be able to appreciate the value of
this discovery. The value is there. just
the same. With little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall an easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while he can lie down to
dreams unbroken by the assaults of
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is at hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
covery cannot be overrated. With his
sparsely matched crown protected from
the attacks of envious Cascas the bald
head will recover from his tendency to-
ward the use of unauthorized explosives.
and he may even rise to the point of
taking front seat in the sanctuary in
fly time. Relieved of the necessity for
turning his skull into block upon
which to butcher the musca domestica,
ETC., he will be able to turn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he has
long stood in need.
If there is justice in all things, the
man who makes two blades of grass
grow where one has grown before will
have to take back seat when the in
ventor of the polish for baldheads comes
in for his reward.
Verify, these be glorious times, and
the baldhead is one of the chief partici-
pators in them.-Troy Times.

Yet Of that field one story
Shines through the gloom and glory

Over the cannons' roaring
There sings Lark song soaring
Out of sight.
Aloof. where men lay bleeding.
In fatal pain whose pleading
Made no CRY.
Shot pierced and saber smitten.
A young and gallant Briton
Crept to die.
At sunset there they found him
With the red snow around him.
And his hand
Laid on the Book whose healing

A Ten Thousaud Year clock

Herr A. Noil, of Berlingen, Germany,
has constructed the most marvellous
timepiece that was ever evolved from
the human mind. Calculations based
on two years of solid going prove what
the maker claims for his wonderful
clock, viz, that it will run for 10000
years without winding. Hands on the
dial point to the time of day, the day,
the week, months, seasons and years. It
also calculates the changes in the moon
and tells when the sun is fast" OF
"slow." The clock is the result of five
years Of patient, arduous labor.-st.

FOSTER ABROAD.
Gossip About his Sayings and Doinss

ToNDoN, March 7-Secretary Foster, in
an interview today, said it was impossible
to disclose the nature of his conversation
with Goschen. Perhaps they referred to
the currency conference, but the matter
was not discussed at any length. He said
If satisfactory basis was obtained he
would not hesitate to confer.
Speaking of the weakness of the BIZ
metallic section in Germany and the Aus
tro-Hungarirn projected return to gold the
secretary said: 1--WE are perfectly aware Of
these difficulties But | have been sur
prised TO find so much interest taken in
fimetalliism tn England and the extent
to which public opinion is growing in
favor of the double Standard
Foster said if Teller's senate resolution
carried it will be the presidents duty to
call conference, bvt he would not yet say
whether there is a reasonable assurance
that the call will be responded to.
Some of the English papers have repro
duced the substance of the interview with
Foster cabled to New York las week,
and IN which the expression
''clam-mouthed' as applied to Irish
immigrants, created much discussion.
Mr.. Foster reiterated the statement that
the expression is not his II used" said
be, ''the familiar phrase, 'fannel-mouthed
to denote the raw immigrant whose chill
dren become asssmilated with the good
American type"

Canada Must Discriminate Before tina
United States VIII Negotiate.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 5.-Oue of the
reciprocity delegates who recently Wis
tied Washington. when shown the
cable dispatch regarding the announce
ment of Sir John Gorst in the British
parliament that Great Britain intends
to prevent the arrangement between
the United States and the British West
Indies increasing the duties on British
manufactures, said:
"You have now before you the true
position of facts as regards the result
of our negotiations with the United
States. The United States emphatic
ally declines to negotiate on any other
lines than those which would involve a
discrimination against Great Britain in
the matter of tariffs. In their policy
to maintain the friendly relations with
Great Britain, our present government
is sustained by the people and we are
not prepared to make any departure
from it. We did not leave Washington
without having the fact fully impressed
upon us by Secretary Blaine and Gen.
Foster that it was useless for us to at
tempt negotia tions unless we were pre-
pared to discriminate in favor of the
United States against the manufacture

SALT MARKET GONE TO PIECES.
The Bottom Falls Out of the Trust and
Prices Go Away Down.

New YORK, March 5.-A special from
Rochester says: The salt market has
gone to pieces as the result of the col
lapse Of the western New York COM
biue. The price Of salt is tumbling
and there seems TO be no bottom to
it. Dairy salts is down 40 per cent and
common salt is 30 per cent lower than
on Jan. l.
The salt market is practically con
trolled by these western New York
concerns when they act together. and
although the central New York com
plnies at Syracuse and other points
were not included in the trust their
business is affected just as much as if
they were.
The agreement has been in force for
several years and was limited to Jan. / ,
1892. 1t was not thought that thel e
would be any difficulty about renewing
the arrangement until the representa-
