II You Do, Uncle sam Can Furnish You
One.
Uncle Sam has invited the Soldiers
Monument associations, the grand
army posts and municipal corporations
of the United States, to have gun with
him.
Uncle Sam is moved to this ~liberality
by the fact that he has on hand at the
Brooklyn navy yard a large quantity
of big and small guns and cannon balls
for which the naval service has nj use.
Anybody who wants a gun must write
to the secretary of the navy.
Most of the guns which Uncle Sam
wants to unload are located at the
Brooklyn navy yard, but there are a
few in the navy yards at Boston and
Portsmouth, N. H. It is ordinarily the
custom of the government to sell all
these things, but congress took the
matter in it's own hands in this instance
and provided that these engines and
munitions of war should be given
away. Evidently the government wants
badly to get rid of them.
There are, all told, about 600 guns

rusty in idleness, and now, past all re-

Among this aggregation of old-time

mount weighs 1000 pounds. The best
use, it is considered, to which they can
be put is that of ornament at the base
Of a soldiers monument or at the en-

The author of Thoughts for the Peo-

who scandalized an entire community
by spending most of his time indoors,
engaged in reading and study. This
waste of golden hours gave particular
pain to an energetic farmer, who final
ly asked the new neighbor why he did
not work for a living. The apparent
idler replied, in Yankee fashion, by a
question about a pillow he had seen in
the farmers barn. "It's the best plow
ever made" the farmer answered. at

Eject OF VibBatlOns on the Head Gov
ering.5
In a recent scientific assemblage a dis
eussion took place upon the influence or
sleep in skin diseases. One Of the gem
tlemen who took part stated in his
criticism Of the paper which had been
read that one might as well talk of the
influence of music upon the growth Of
the hair. 1t would seem that the sug-
gestion Of a possible connection thus
thrown out in a TESTING way has been
taken seriously. At least, a cores
pendent of the Temps has made the dis
covery that music Of certain kinds does
in reality prevent the hair from falling,
while hat produced by certain instru-
ments has the most disastrous effects
IN causing rapid Development Of bald
ness. He finds that while composers are.
as prone as those who play their com
positions upon the piano preserve il
they do not acquire, a luxuriant growth
Of hair. On the other hand, wind instru-
ments, and especially the cornet and
trombone, are fatal to hirsute adorn-
ment. The violoDceIlo and the harp
keep the hair in pretty well. but the
flute cannot be depended upon to pre-
serve a strong growth after the 50th
year Of age. Al number Of p~ianists, in
efuding P~aderewski, are cited il CON.
frmation OF the pronounced influence
Of piano music. It has been admitted
for some time that music has a certain
therapeutic worth, and il will be re-
called that in September last DR.. Fer
rand presented a report to the French
academy on the physiological influence
of music, pointing out in what ways it
could be employed with therapeutic
aims. Subsequently DR.. Betzchinsky
reported an instance of night terrors in
a child of three years. who was cured by
having played to it each night music of
a calming nature written in a minor
key. A test was made after a few nights
by emitting the music, and that night
alone the child had an attack. 1t has
not as yet been determined Just what
key is most favorable to the prevention
Of an early bald state. Probably a rea-
sonable way of settling the disputed
point would be to make a few expert
ments IN dogs, thus proving a toler-
ance for different strains and avoiding
the horripilation to which some pa
tients of refined tastes might be sub
jected. Wind instruments are always
dangerous if the hair has not a good
hold, while stiff-haired people can stand
anything. Possibly a good rule for any
musician would be, as soon as he finds
his hair falling. that he should cease
playing for others.-Medical Record.
