Influence of Music on the Hair.

An English statician has recently
been engaged in an original task, that
of studying the influence of music on
the hair. The investigator establishes,
in the first place, that the proportion
Of bald persons IS II per cent for the
liberal professions I'm general, with the
exception of physicians, who appear to
hold the record for badness, which Is
so per cent
Musical composers do not form an
exception to the rule. and badness is
as frequent among them as in the 9TH
er professions. The Cornet-a- piston
and the French horn act with surpris-
ing surety and rapidity, but the from
bone is the depilatory instrument par
excellence. 1t will clear the hair from
ones head in five years. This is what
the author calls badness Of the fam
fares" which RACES with special Yio-
lence among regimcntal bands.
