County names in New England and
middle Atlantic States are almost ex-
clusively of English or Indian origin.
In the border States of the South theS
are chiefly English; in the gulf States
English and Indian, with French in
Louisiana and traces Of Spanish origin
in Florida and Texas. In the Missis-
sippi Valley they are again of English
and Indian origin, with soma French
names coming down from the Jesuit
explorers. In the Rocky Mountain

Covering a Bald Head with Frog Skin.

Doctor John Eye, Readings skin
grating specialist, who's year ago OF
more gained conside. able ~notoriety by
successfully transplanting skin from
the forearm of q colored man to the
leg of a white man, and who subse'
auently manufactured q dime-museum
freak by planting a flowing mustache
upon the upper lip of a handsome
young woman, is continuing his ex"
periments in that direction. The doc
tors latest achievement, performed
with every evidence of success, is that
of supplying a b~aldheaded man with a
covering of hair that a football player
might envy. The patient upon whom
this operation was ~performedis Charles
Mueller, of Washington, and the sub
ject from whom the material was drawn
to cover the bare spot on the patients
head was a Mr.. Gertiesu.
Doctor Eye removed from the head
of Gertiesu a piece Of scalp II inches
wide by 81 inches long, well covered
with hair, and ~replanted it upon the
head of Mueller. The soreness created
by the removal of a portion of Ger
tiesu's scalp is almost healed, the doc
tor having so skilfully drawn the LAGER
ated scalp together as to almost remove
all evidence of its removal with the ex-
ception of two small spaces, which he
purposely left with the view Of further
experiments. He will i've those spots
with hair-covered skin taken from some
animal, and upon the successful at
tachment of that transplanted animal
skin upon the head of Gertiesu de-
ponds the fate Of the future b~sldheaded
men.
If the doctor be successful the bald
heads viii no longer be compelled to
hide their badness under the old
fashioned uncomfortable wig, but IAN
simply surrender themselves to the
doctor and have t~ransplanted to their
pates the covering of some other fell
low who is willing to surrender his
head for a golden salye. Philadelphia

The New Orleans Picavune maint.

The New Orleans Picayune maintains
that american cotton mills, and more
particularly Southern mills, having the
supply Of raw material close at hand,
and being equipped with the most per.
feet machinery, should be able to un.
dersell Lancashire in all the worlds
markets. We can raise cheaper cotton
than any other cctton-producing cou1,
try, and, with the looms and spindles
located in close proximity to the cotton
fields, We ought to be able to furnish
the world with cheaper cotton than any
other country. It is, therefore, very
evident that the heal future must wit.
ness a wonderful development of our
cotton goods exports.

According to the Chicago Saturday
Herald the housemaid is to be immor.
talized. The very last work Of Wool
ner, the eminent sculptor (who died in
the same week as Lord Tennyson) rep
resents a life-size figure, in bronze, Of
a young and comedy English house,
maid" Eneeling, with pail and scour-
ing cloth, on the doorstep which she
is about to scrub. The natural air OF
the girl, the carefully studied, yet
simple completeness of her dress, her
strong arms and her shapely hands
make her q very charming figure. Tho
rolled-up sleeves expose the bare arms,
which are excellently modelled. The
work is destined for the British Royal
Academy's Exhibition. It will be n re-
freshing change from the customary
NEUROLOGICAL vein.

England,s Ploned Land Diminished.

During the last twenty years the
area of land in England under the
pillow has diminished by very nearly
1900, 900 acres, or over fourteen per
cent. The amount of arabic land in
Wales has diminished twenty-one per
cent. in the same period. In Scotland
on the contrary, it has increased by
$1,000 acres. This difference is partly
explained by the relatively large areas
of land in Scotland retained under
clover and rotation grasses, more than
one-third of the whele cultivated area.
In England the proportion of culti-
waited land so occupied is little nlore
than one-tenth of the whole. Chicago

What do you seek, ye men of steam,

And when you've swept across the day

Bradstreet's report of failures in the
United States and Canada makes a
showing in one respect that the Chi
cago Herald opines will appear sur
prising to most people. In 1892 the
proportion Of failures in the United
States was / in each 80 establishments /;
in Canada it was ! in As. In 1891 the
proportion in the United States was |
In 80 ; in Canada ! in AZ. In 1890 the
proportion was / to SO in the United
States and / to As in Canada. This
statement, showing the lack of com.
mercial prosperity over the border,
needs no comment. The debt of Can.
ada is 1926, 333, 900, with o population
of {, 600, 900, which is as big q burden

BARDWELL'S LYNCHING.
Evidences That Miller Was Guiity--Accom-
piice Caught-Negro Upris ng Feared.

BARDwEiaa A. -, 10y ia number of
the most active workers in the capture and
lynching OF the negro Miller got together
today and prepared a statement which has
been given to the public. Ii establishes
the guilt Of Miller beyond all question.
Beginning with the trail at the place of
the murder il was kept mp TO the Dupeyster
field, several miles away, where a negro
was shot at on the afternoon Of the mur-
der The same trail was found on the
other side of the river.
Gordon, the fisherman who rowed the
. negro over the river knowing that upon
his word the man could live or die, swore
positively he was the man. Mrs. Bradley
Saw maIfpass her house, which is on the
trail followed the morning OF the murder.
She saw the man here and says he is the
same man she saw pass her house. There

ing postmaster happens to have overlooked

keeper omits to attach any "due stamp"
and thus gets the freightage free.
IL the forwarding postmaster, however,
has noticed the overweight and rated up
package, the receiving postmaster cancels
the necessary due stamps, charges the can
cellations on his quarterly account and
draws his pay in commissions under the
law which makes the cancellation record

pensaton Of the postmaster, and thus
again he gets his freightage free.
One female postmaster has been found
who has had her laundry parcels shipped
TO her in this manner every week for long
time and at the time of the discovery was
making preparations to go into consid-
cradle express business on her own ac-
count, by hiring out her official privileges
to some of her favorite neighbors.
A Telitaie Count.
What has walked the postmaster general
up at this time to the idea of making the
postmasters everywhere more attentive Is
an experimental tally kept in the postoffice
at Wheeling TO discover how much the
government was presumptively losing
yearly by carelessness on the part Of post
masters at mailing offices. In one week 1t
was found that nearly $50 pieces Of first
class mail matter came through slngly,
doubly, trebly or even fourfold over
weighted, but not rated up. Had they
gone through the mail in the ordinary
way. they would have involved the gov
ernment in loss Of several dollars. IL Is
estimated that the total loss per year all
over the United States would run up well
into the hundreds OF thousands.
II is coming 20 he believed that the gov
ernment may better he more strict than
more lax in its requirements and demand
full payment as condition precedent to
forwarding anything This might put
careless correspondents to little more
trouble and 90 occasional inconvenience:
but on the other hand, IL would cut off
one avenue OF large loss through negli-
gence and trickery. ti

MAYOR BOODY PROTESTS.
He Says Perjured Evidence Was Presented
to the Grand Jury.


BROOKLYN, July IA sensation was
created in the cour5 OF sessions today when
General Benjamin +. Tracy. ex-secretary
Of the navy, appeared on behalf of Mayor
Boody and presented his application for a
copy OF the minutes of the June grand
jury, which presented the mayor for his
action in regard TO the railroad franchises.
Accompanying the application was an
affidavit OF the mayor, in which he averred
that he had done no act. official or other
wise, which justified the grand Jury in pre-
sentinn him as they did. He said that their
presentment could only be justified by
false and perjured testimony given before
the grand jury by some witness, and on In
formation and belief he AYERS that such
testimony was given. He desires a copy Of
the minutes In order that he may find who
the witnesses were that gave this perjured
testimony in order that he may have them
apprehended and prosecuted.
General Tracy made an able argument
in favor OF the motion, which was also
favored by District Attorney Ridgway.
Judge Moore took the papers, said he would
render decision In a few days. and the
matter was ended for the time being.
