Baldheadcd Young Men.

There are more baldheaded young men
in leading Washington social circles, - said
the supplier of hEsute deficiencies to the
scribe, than people would think. But
that is because very little of 1t is revealed to
the curious glance. You see, most of the
young men grow bald Immediately above
the forehead, which leaves a triangular
space, or on the center of the head. The
first place is very easdly concealed by n
patch which looks as natural as the real
thing These patches are readily adjusted
and may be brushed in any style. They
are rather expensive, though-that is, if a
man desires something which will COM
pletely battle the attempts of the suspicious.

to $780, according to size and finish.
II could name 20 young men who sport
these patches and whose hair is univer ally

whose ages range between 25 and 40 are so
decorated. They do not come SO high as
the first named prices, but are just as easily
adjusted and present the same impenetra-

plete wigs sold, like there were Is or 20
years ago. In fact, it is hard to get wig
which does not give itself away, and this is
worse than thin hair or badness. Wash

A CURIOUS STORY.
An Incident In a New England Minister'S
Life Related by Tennyson.


Life Related by Tennyson.
A writer in The Tablet relates curious
story which he heard from the lips of Lord
Tennyson during a visit to Farringford
some four or five years ago. They were Sit
ting under the shadow of some great mag
nolias that cover one side of the house. and
the conversation turned upon the super
natural and the possibility of communica-
lions from the other world.
Tennyson then told Of dissenting min
lister in one of the New England states
noted for his powers as preacher, who
one Sunday morning, instead of reading
text and giving a discourse in the usual
way, suddenly in most dramatic manner
began to reci.e The Charge of the Light
Brigade" The congregation listened
breathlessly TO the end, but before tue
service had concluded elders and people
were loud in their anger at the way in
which the chapel had been profaned. Their
murmurs found the minister wholly I'LL
prepared.
He had gone into the pulpit intending to
speak about the need for charity and was
wholly unconscious of what he had done.
Convinced at length by testimony which
he could pot withstand, he was filled with
remorse, went sadly to his room that night,
and watched through all the hours till
morning, seeking consolation and not find
ing any. At daybreak they brought him
word that n man looking IKE a tramp
wanted to see him urgently.
The minister, half from habit decided to
see him. The stranger came straight into
the room and simply said, Il come to Thank
the man who has saved my soul" The
minister stood in silence, wondering wheth-
er this was some new mockery of his senses.
The stranger went on: Il was all throu-L
the Crimea, and | was in the thick of the
fight at Getty sburg, but never till | heard
day did l know what had to thank G.; Il
for. Sir, from that hour / determined o
change my life. and l want to thank the
man to whom / owe my salvation"

The Daily Newspapers.
Boston Advertiser.


Hon. F. L. Greenhalge spoke upon
The Daily Newspaper" in the Good
Citizenship course of lectures at the
Old South meeting house last night,
before large and interested audi
ence. Mr.. Greenhalge's practical
off hand way of treating his subject
at the outset gained the closest at
tention of his listeners. He said:
What is journalism? / replied, it
is an art, the finest of arts; it is a
science, and one of the profoundest
of sciences. There is no improve
ment made, no progress in any line,
that is not reflected or repeated in
journalism. The tutelage of the
modern newspaper is in Hermes, the
brightest and swiftest of the immor-
tails. And what changes we have
seen in the newspaper in the last
quarter of a century.
Why, YOU can remember when 4

to be borrowed, or, more frequently,

Penalty for Non-Payment of Taxes.

Senate bill No, 81. introduced by
Senator Craig, is now in the house,
having been passed by the senate
This bill reduces the penalty for nom
payment from 25, so and IS cents and
81 to 10, 20, 80 and 40 cents. 1t is
well known that the law as it now
stands is great burden on the poor
and moderately well-to-do classes.
and the passage of the bill mentioned
would relieve great many people of
an unjust burden.
The present law was enacted by
the scheming of land sharks, who ar
gued that the rich did not pay their
taxes and, that the present law would
force them to pay Out of this law
the land sharks have made an enor-

been in operation long enough for
every one to know that the rich man
can give check dated ahead to suit
