 coursc on the Subject.
 "Ahout bald heads, now, said hair. dresser who professed to know all about hirsute deficiency and it's causes, they are as much due to heredity as are red heads, black heads, curly heads or heads that are not curly. And why arc men so commonly bald and women bald % upJommonlyl There arc doctors and men of science who point to that fact to strengthen their well tuawp high hat theory of bald ness I.N &ifgCt to believe, and iu- sist ou them belief that the high silk hat tand t.lo hard felt hat aro responsible for most of the baldheaded men, the un- yielding pressure of such headgear con strictIng the blood vessels which nour- ish tho hair bulbs, and thus destroying their vital properties, the result being death of the roots and unavoidable capillary scantiness Women, say these scientific spectators, do not injure tho yitals of their hair by such means, and thus are rarely chronically bald.
 Maybe they arc right, but 1 don't be. ievo it. Everybody knows that man, ss tho head of the family, has to go to the front and stay thero in the capacity of the breadwinuer The strain of life comes the most severe on the man in that respect He it is who suffers the anXieties and battles against the disap- pointments of business, speaking of life in general What makes men prema- turely old3 Just these auxicties and struggles If prcmaturely old why not prematureiy bald, which is natural ac- compartment of uutimely age? Woman has less brain stress. Her sympathiea with the man in his struggle may be great, and usually me, but they do not make tho demands on her organization that tell so severely on tho system of the man.
 "I account for much badness among men by this theory of nervous exhaus- ton, but then what will explain its prev alence among men whose circumstances do not require them either to indulge in business anxietie5 or undergo business disappointment? Thus wo see the easy going man about town, not yet in his prime as to years, with no haunting thought of tomorrow, yet as bald as his grandfather was at seventy, We sec the pampered child Of fortune, son of a mil liouaire father, who tolls not, neither doth he spin, yet Elijah, whom the bad boys mocked, at the same time the she bears came out of the wilderness and diaed upon thela was not arrayed in less hair than one of these SoIno might explain this by the sweeping charge Cf dissipation, but it will not do. l have among nv patrons youth of this kind ysho arc models of sobriety, propriety and simple living, and yet they are as bald as GOOrEno0s.
 "Hercdity Is tho only explanation that can be made of this mysterious depar- turc of the hair in early life, although Professor Eaton, an English scientific person who has made investigation on the subject a speciality for years, does not believe it and stuutly declares that the cause of badness is no nearer discovery than it was a hundred years ago.
 "But whether l am right or wrong iu my theories l know 1 am right iu this, and that i5 when a man is once bald he is always bald, unless his hair has fallen out from the effects of fever. In that case 1t will generally return in time of its own accord. But a head that has gradually lost it's hair while the owner of it is in good physical condition has lost 1t for good. If it wasn't so do you suppose there would be so many bald headed doctors and barbcrsy = New York Sun.
