The Welsh Goat Is a Creature of Days
Gone By.
THE GOAT A NATIVE OF BRITAIN

the Brave Welsh Prince, who was
Captive Before Emperor Claudius
in the year of Christ So. Votes, &c.

In writing of the Welsh goat, Cad
rawd has the following to say in the
Cardiff Times: 1T is rather surprising
that the Welsh goat is not to be found
in the Geological Garden, in London,
and that none of our Welsh members
of parliament have felt it their duty to
ask question in parliament as to why
specimen is not kept there. and the
real Welsh goat preserved. The " elsh
goat, being an aboriginal of Britain,
ought to be specially protected and the
breed should not become extinct"
According to no less authority than
Lady Hanover, it appears that there
are two species of Welsh goats equally
aboriginal. one with magnificent horns,
both having a very picturesque appear
ance from the long coat of hair and
beautifully formed head. The hornless
goat was not so dangerous. for the peas
ant children were in the habit of pro-
voking them whenever they found them.
and those with horns were better able
to protect themselves. Goats have a
prediction for the bark of young trees,
and their owners used to tether them
each goat had to be provided with a
leather collar and chain, one end OF the
chain being attached by ring to the
leather strap or collar, while the other
end was fastened to the ground by
sharpened wooden hook. which had to
be moved twice or three times day.
At night they were brought into the
yard, with an open shed, and were left
at perfect liberty, being provided with
prunings Of shrubs, or vegetables, or
anything that was convenient. which
they would eat. Kids were in years
gone by the most marketable. being
considered the best of food. And their
skin was very valuable. From goats
milk excellent cheese was made, with
out the mixture of any other, and the
whey was considered particularly nour-
ishing and wholesome.

and We're both considerably under the in
fuence of liquor. They made a wager of
US over a trivial matter. and during the
argument Harrison became angry and
struck Heflich in the face with his fist.
The men were ordered outside. On the
sidewalk they resuned their quarrel. Blows
were freely exchanged and the fight was
about even. until the third round. when
Harrison received a blow in the forehead
which felied him to the ground. His
head struck the sidewalk and he received
a severe scalp wound. The police patrol
was summoned and both men were taken
TO the First precinct police station.
Harrison's wounds was dressed and he
went home. Hefich was locked up.
This morning Recorder McDonough dis
make any complaint against Hefich.
A number of people who heard Of the
affair are highly tncensed over the Re-
corder's action in the matter. They think
the HoboSen Cadi had no right to dismiss
the case and should have held both men
for disorderly conduct.
They say that if the fight had occurred
between two, ordinary citizens. both. men
a constable and at one time was a court
officer.

FOR BALD MEN N L
Some Consolation for Those Prema-
tureIy Afflicted.

The period in life during which prema-
II an individual safely passes this period
without losing any hair he will not be-
come bald till old age.
When the hairs fall out they are imme-
diately replaced by others of a finer ma
ture, which in their turn disappear to be
replaced by others still finer and so on
until the scalp is bald and shining.
One physician who has spent much time
studying the subject a " that premature
badness results often from the drawing
away of nouriShment from the scalp by
the frequent use of the razor on the face.
number of preceding generations of bald
men will always predispose a person in
h a directions.
The same authority says he does not
think much of the theory that tight
derby hats make the hair fall out, but
he does not believe in the use of water
on the scalp.
Premature badness is almost wholly
unknown among women. The usual rea-
son assigned is that their head covering
is lighter and more hygienic, but the
real cause is that they have no beard
and do not shave Shaving makes the
beard grow and draws all strength from
the hair of the head.
1t will be noticed that all beardless
races have heavy heads of hair, especially
the Indians, Chinese, Pacific Ocean people
and sayages
One authority advises men who have
become bald young to stop shaving. If
the disease of the scalp is far advanced
tones internally and locally, with the
aid of electricity and massage, will go far
toward effecting a cure.-Newark Sunday

Owned by Cubans.

Up-Now it is Down, Down,

THE NEPTUNOs STERN A PUZZLE

Between four and five weeks ago an
iron vessel. small but stoutly built. moored
alongside the T~hingvalla Line pier, foot
OF Fourth street. Hoboken, and made prep
arations as if to tie up for the winter. The
name OF the vessel is the Neptune, from
New York. 1t is a fruit vessel, and plies
New York and the West indies.
1t had not been in the slip many DAYS
when 1t created considerable suspicion
among the dock hands by the mysterious
actions of the people on board. The men
on the dock say that when the boat was
hrst moored she was high up out of water,
put after W or three weeks it was noticed
that she was way down in her stern. AS
no work was done aboard her during the
DAY and none of her crew was seen about
the pier. the men naturally suspected that
she was being loaded at night.
VI course. If that was the case, it was
evident that some thing out of the ordin-
airy line of merchandise was being put
ABOARD her. which the owners did not
want the Government to know about. The
longshoremen and others about the dock
began to whisper among themselves that
the Neptune was loading arms and am
munition for the Cuban insurgents.
The rumors reached the ears Of the Gus
tom House office in Hoboken. and they had
one OF the revenue cutters watch her close
~ for several nights. But the Govern
ment officers although they secretly
watched the ship for nearly a week, saw
nothing done aboard her. and they dis
missed the idea that she was a ilibuster
sure that the vessel was a legitimate
trader. they boarded her yesterday and
thoroughly searched her. but without
ture upon her.
A Jersey City News" reporter visit
ed the vessel this morning and went
found the ship completely empty, and
TO inquiries made aScertained hat she
was laid up for the winter, undergoing
a few repairs. To the question as to
what made the ship so far down in the
water in the stern he received the an
sWer that the boat was much heavier
at that end than at the bow. Yet sew
when told that by the reporter, laughed
at him. and said that the people on board
were guying him. One Of the old salts
said
I've followed the sea for over TWEEN
ty-ive years, and I never saw a ship
yet which was heavier at one end than
the other, and I'll bet a dozen marlin
anyway. Why, land lubber, when hat
craft came in here she was way up
out of water on an even keel. Now
she's way down in the stern, and you
can bet she's got good stuff on her. hid
in such a manner as to deceive the best
on us. You mark my word. if that ship
don't cut her cable some dark night and
slip away"
The ship is owned by John E. Kerr
& Co, of Pier 6, North River. But it is
said that Kerr & Co. sold the vessel TO
some Cubans about two months ago.
