MUSIC AND THE HAIR.

ering.

Eject Of vibrations on the Head Gov
ering.
In q recent scientific assemblage a dis
cussion took place upon the influence of
sleep in skin diseases. One Of the gen.
tlerneu who took part stated in his
criticism Of the paper which had been
read that one might as weAl talk of the
influence of music upon the growth of
the hair. It would seem that the sug-
gcstion Of possible connection thus
thrown out in q jesting way has been
taken seriously. AT least, cores
rondent of the Temps has made the dis
covery that music of certain kinds does
in reality prevent the hair from falling,
while that 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, If
they do not acquire, a luxuriant growth
of hair. On the other hand, wind instru-
nents, and especially the cornet and
trombone, are fatal to hirsute adorn-
ment. The violoncello and the harp
keep the hair in pretty well, but the
flute cannot be depended upon to pre-
serve strong growth after the 50th
year of age. A number of pianists, in
cluding Paderewski, are cited in con-
firmation of the pronounced influence
of piano music. 1t has been admitted
for some time that music has a certain
therapeutic worth, and it 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 few nights
by omitting the music, and that night
alone the child had an attack. It 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 few expert
ments on 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 good
hold, while stiff-haired people can stand
anything. Possibly good rule for amy
musician would be, as soon as he finds
his hair falling, that he should cease
playing for others.-Medical Record.

SNOW STORM

ads.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March S.-Reports
Sunday night from 100 towns in the
northwest indicate that another great
snow storm is raging, perhaps the
greatest of the winter. A serious
blockade is on in South Dakota. No
trains have been moving to Water
town, Huron, Millbank and other
points for the past "a hours.
The South Dakota legislature, which
adjourned at Pierre on Friday,
has been unable to leave that place
owing to the blockade General
Superintendent Russell Harding, of the
Great Northern, has just come in from
North Dakota, and says he never saw
anything like the quantity of snow up
there. He said: II think would be
very conservative, indeed, to estimate
the snow as being three feet on level
on the plains. 1t is probably nearer
four feet. Now that is tremendous
quantity when one thinks of the vast
area it covers. And it is not all down
yet, as kilograms received Sunday

DO YOU WANT A BIG GUN?
II You Do, Uncle Sam Can Furnish You
One.

Il
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 large quantity
of big and small guns and cannon balls
for which the naval service has no 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,
all of which have outlived their use
fulness. They are all obsolete weap-
ons, and have been condemned by the
ordnance Office. None Of them are light
weight, and the smallest of the old
stagers weighs more than 5000 pounds.
Thirty years ago they were considered
mighty fine weapons, and their yawn-
ing mouths seem capable of dealing
enough death and destruction for half a
dozen nations. Inventive progress, how
ever, has left him far behind.
They were all of the type that were
used during the civil war. They were
cast for use during that conflict, and
constitute the remnant of the surplus
ordnance that the government found it.
self in possession of when hostilities
ceased. From year to year various
plans have been suggested to make use
of them They have grown old and
rusty in idleness, and now, past all re-
demption, they can only frown as grim
mementos of the days when the nation
was on a war footing.
Among this aggregation of old-time
thunderers there are 32 13-inch NOR
tars, with 36 mounts. Each of the
mortars weighs 1890 pounds, and eacli
mount weighs 1000 pounds. The best
use, it is considered, to which they can
be put is that of ornament at the base
of soldiers monument or at the en-
trance to a park. In addition to the
mortars there are 200 11-inch guns, of
the old muzzleloading variety, each of
which weighs 15,s00 pounds. There
are, besides, more than 10000 proiec-
tiles, old-time cannon balls.-Boston

CLEVELAND, o., March s.-Lizzie
Henry, alias Gibson, 2S years old, was
arrested by Detective o Connell, of st.
Louis, on the charge of completely in
the mysterious murder of William
Stewart at St. Louis February o.
The Henry woman, it is claimed,
by the detective, inveigled the old gen.
tleman into her apartments on Wash
ington street in st. Louis, where he
met her companion. Knockout drops
were administered and at 8 o'clock the
man died. His body was removed to
the rear of the house, where it was
found. Later a man named Critic, the
janitor of the block, was arrested
through Stewards watch being traced
to him. Critic talked and Lizzie Har-
woods arrest followed. The Henry
woman was located in Cleveland, the
detective came up here Sunday, and
with the assistance of Cleveland officers
she was placed under arrest and taken
to st. Louis.

Ideas About Finger Nails.

The japanese have some curious ideas
about their finger nails. One of them
is to the effect that they must not be
cut before starting on q journey lest
disgrace befall the person before he
reaches his destination. Neither should
they be cut off at night lest cats claws
should grow out. To throw nail par
ings into the fire is to invite some great
calamity. If, while trimming the nails,
piece should fall into the fire the
person will soon die.-N. Y. Herald.

CANAL BANK BURSTS.

The Southern Section of Dayton. o., Inun.
dated-Bls Miami River Rising Rapidly.
DAYTON, O., March s.-The waters
of the Big Miami river continue to rise
at this point, and, at o o'clock Satur-
day morning registered 16 feet four
inches, the highest ever known, . rise
Of four inches since Z o'clock. At 8
o'clock Saturday morning the bank of
the Miami and Erie canal burst just
south of Main street, and now the en-
tire southern section of the city is in
undated and families residing in that
portion are removing their household
effects to higher ground.
The waters from the canal and river
have united on the south side, making
sea of water covering several hum
dred acres. The flooded condition of
the city has seriously impeded street
car traffic, and three companies have
been compelled to abandon traffic on
their lines.
The levees were patrolled all of Fri
day night, and there Is considerable
uneasiness manifest on their account,
as they have shown tendency to give
way at several points, and only con-
stant attention which has been given
has saved them from a break. The
water is now within two feet of the
top of the levee.
The Third street bridge across the
Big Miami river has been abandoned,
and the authorities will not permit
any one to use it.
The Miami river levee gave way
about three miles north of this city
Saturday morning, and North Dayton
was soon under from two to three feet
of water. The water came with rush
and all residents were driven to the
second stories, many families having
narrow escapes. There is practically
no way for the water to get out of that
section and its depth is rapidly in
