Spirits Turpentine-The market opened
dull there being scarcely any inquiry and
none offering. The receipts we're only 81 bar
rels, being scarcely enough to make a mar
ket. One exporter underworld to bear the
market by offering at the Board of Trade to
sell a number Of casks at 80 cents. The Offer
was not recognized by the board. but 1t was
rumored afterwards that the same party had
sold 80 casks at that figure. The transaction
was posted at the Board of Trade, and at the
last call at p m. the market declined from
a nominal tone of BIC to SOC and closed firm,
with sales of 80 casks The Offering stock
was held by the factors for higher prices, as
they regarded the break unjustihable con
sidertng the light receipts and the compare
lively steady demand for domestic shipment
They expect that reaction will take place
to day and the former quotations will be re-
gained.

1900 barrels. The official quotations at the
opening and closing OF the market were firm

Rent day in Paris is a very impol ;ant occasion. The landlord is king in q realm where exactitude is not only en- outraged, but enforced. An Englishman says that he once went to see landlord about some matter connected with the house he had hired. The Frenchman proved to be n very suspicious and in quisitive old gentleman, who had made his fortune in the candle trade
 "What do you sell?' he inquired.
 The Englishman acknowledged that he made his bread by writing for the magazines. The landlord shrugged his shoulders.
 'I am afraid" said he, ''that you will not be exact with your rent on the 18th of the month.
 He evidently had old fashioned no tions of literature as well as the other arts and preferred that his tenants { should be, like himself. comfortably in trade. So in order to vindicate his voca. tion the Englishman went to call upon him in person on the 14th, rent in hand.
 ''I told you so." exclaimed the pre- else old merchant ''I knew you wouldn't be exact at the day and houl fixed. You have brought your rent 24 hours too soon. "-Youth's Comnaninn

ing following there was meeting ot tho three supcrintCndcnts and tho picnic committees of the schools at the Presby- tcrian session house. It was then voted to have martial music, to display moro bunting than usual, and in other ways to devote more money and attention to the picnic than had ever been done be- fore. There were no serious objections to this plan, nor was there much of the usual talk against the falls as a picnic site. The farmers were making money, for crops and prices had been good for several years, most men had their places paid for, some of them had money in bank, and why shouldn't they devote a little of it to having good time one day in the year? There never had been an accident at the falls. There was real ly no good reason why one should hap pen now.
 Tho sun rose bright, but not too warm, in n blue and cloudless sky on picnic day. At o'clock the three church bells began to ring out in lively measure the agreed upon assembly call Shortly afterward tho picnickers began to drive up in all sorts of rigs. There | were empty wagons, into which were packed baskets and boxes and barrels of good things to eat-such good things as are produced and eaten only in com- munities like that of which The Hook was then the central point.

STREET DANCING.
A Sidewalk Pastime In the Metropolis In
 Hot Weather.
[Srccial Correspondence.

Special COrrespondencel
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1i.-This city, which its inhabitants delight to speak of cxpan- sively as the metropolis, possesses many characteristics in common with European towns that are not to be found in other American cities. One of them is the habit of sidewalk dancing. To be sure, it is not developed to any great extent among adults here, as it is in London, where it is not at all unusual to see full grown men and women of the working classes who have never before seen one another join hands and gyrate in the waltz or execute the steps of an old fashioned dance in the street, for in America we are too self conscious for that after we arc grown up, even those of us who are foreign born.
 But the simple hearted children of New Iork's streets-thcy often step a few measures to the music of the hand organ or tho hand piano." and pretty sight they make sometimes on the sidewalks, and surprising one, too, to strangers here.
 It was only yesterday that, as I was passing down Barclay street, a swarthy son of Italy ground out the strains of one of the most popular songs of the day to the infinite delight of two little girls not moro than and 10 years of age, rcspcc- lively, and the unboundcd amazcmcnt of two graceful, well dressed young ladies, who were evidently visitors here from some interior city. The little ones were barcheadcd poorly clad and-truth com pcls it-dirty, ill kcmpt and of shamblin8 walk. But the moment they heard the notes grace seemed to take the place of awkwardncss, and jOyousncss that of the listlCSsncss that had before characterized them. First they sang in their quavcring voices, Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do, and then their little arms claspcd each others waists, their feet fell into step, and their forms went round and round in perfect time. Little rocked they of the rain, and as the hour was late and the street was almost deserted they had n fair field for their sidewalk danc- ing, and the sight was so common that no one stopped to give attention to them that is, no one but the two visiting young ladies, who were evidently on their way to the ferry to take n homeward train They stOppCd and gazcd under their um- brella for so long n time that as passed them heard one say:

THEORIES ABOUT BALoNEss.
Why Does the Hair Fall Out on the Top c
 the Head and Not Elsewhere?


 the Head and Not Elsewhere:
 A question that often arises and is seldom answered twice in the same way is as to why tho hair falls out on the top of the head and not at the back and on the sides. The old fashioned theory is that badness occurs within the lines marked by a mans hat, and as nobody has ever offered conclusive proof to the contrary that explanation may be the correct one.
 The case was stated the other day to two very intelligent barbers. One of them thought that the reason why bald ness occurred at the top of the head was that the brain came closest to the sur face there, and this being an age in which many brains are kept going at high tension the abnormal amount of blood thus carried to the cranium pro- duced kind of fever i'll the upper scalp. Fevers, as is we'll known. often result ill the falling out of the hair.
 The second barber gave variety to the discussion by enlarging upon the notion that he had formed from the obscrva- tion and reflection of many years.
 ''You will notice, said he, that the first hair baby has comes ill on tho top of the head and falls out before the child is many weeks old. The hair that comes to stay grows thicker and stronger on the sides and at the back, and have an idea that the growth on the top of the head is always the weakest from infancy on to old age.
 But how do you account for the fact that women do not grow bald as men do:" quericd a skeptical listener.
 Account for it? I don't havo to ac- coEnt for it," replied the ready witted second barber. Tt isn't so. Why, ] used to work in an establishment where they had nine chairs i'll the mems de pertinent and II in tho women's, and want to tell you that I learned some things there that tho average man and tho average barber, too, for that mat. ter, doesn't know If you could appre. ciate as do the number of women who have false hair so artistically arranged that nobody can tell it from their OWL natural trcsscs, you wouldn't ask why men grow bald and the other sex doeSn't.'
 Hairdrcsscrs have their pet theories or this subject as we'll as barbcrs. and some of them arc very plausible. But if yor should ask q doctor who was not ashamed to confess his ignorance tho chances arc that he would tell you ht didn't know much about it.-Washing ton Star.
