Dispatches from Washington leave
no room to hope that Babcock
boasted bill to revise the tarlf1 on
iron products will ever get through
the committee. If the proposition
was. as some state. merely to put the
heavier products of the steel trust
such as railroad iron, steel billets
heavy bridge and builders iron, etc.
on the free list, its fate is OF little
concern to Mr.. Babcock's constitu-
ents, as few of them are users OF such
material. But if it meant, us his
friends represent, an attack upon
all trust made goods, including nails
screws. lumber, 9 lass, oil, and other
things that common people all must
buy, and the price Of which has been
arbitrarily advanced through the
formation of trusts, that is Il differ

PREVENTION AND CURE FOR BALD



Nowhere is the comparative superb
strikingly shown than in the case of
badness. If the hair receives proper
care from chjldhood: but in the great
majority of cases it is impossible to
coax back a satisfactory growth of hair
on a shining pate. The life OF hair
is estimated to be from two to four
five years, at the end of which time it
falls out and, IL the scalp is healthy.
is replaced in time by new one which
grows out from the old hair follicle
AS long as this process OF growth keeps
pace with the falling out OF the hair.
there is no danger OF badness. no mat
ter how plentifully the hairs are shed:
but II the loss exceeds the new growth,
as it does when the scalp is unhealthy.
thinness OF the hair and eventual bald
ness are sure to follow. We have seen.
in n former article. that the hat is
mainly responsible for the unenviable
distinction OF the male sex as the bald
one. The hat may cause badness di-
rectly. by diminishing the blood-sup-
ply and consequently the nourishment
of the hair, or 1t may produce It in
directly, by causing an unhealthy con-
dition of the scalp. leading to dan
druff. This affection. known scientif-
cslly as seborrhea, is thought to be
due to the presence of a special mi
crobe. which finds favorable soil for
its growth in the poorly nourished.
overheated and poorly ventilated scalp.
The prevention of badness calls first
for reform in the matter of head
gear. Stiff hats-the derby, the straw
or the silk hat-should be laid aside
and soft felt hats or caps worn. Then
the scalp must be kept absolutely clean.
Many people seem to be afraid to wash
the hair, or to brush 1t vigorously,
but this fear is unfounded. The head
should be shampooed at least once
week. with soap of the best quality,
which should be not strong and aka
line, but neutral. If this makes the
hair too dry, little olive oil can then
be rubbed into the scalp. If dandruff
still persists. in spite of frequent wash
ing, it will be well to get advice from
a physician as to the occasional use CT
an appropriate lotion in addition TO
the regular shampooing. Thorough
brushing of the hair morning and night
will help to keep the scalp in good
condition, and massage with the finger
tips, moving the scalp in all directions
over the skull. will promote its health
and that of the hair growing in it.

VICTIMS or SNAKES IN 1Np1A.

During the year 1899 no less than
24.621 human beings were killed by
the bites of venomous snakes in In
dia. The number was larger than in
several preceding years because, it is
thought, of the floods, which drove the
snakes to the high lands where the
homesteads are situated. Wild beasts
during the same year destroyed 2,966
human lives, tigers being responsible
for S99 of the victims, wolves for 33S,
leopards for 1927. while the remaining

The President has again surrendered
to the otiice-seekers and has removed
George Sawter, consul at Glauchau,
Germany. to give place to Il. \. Crevy
of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Il politi-
elan, for whom the senators and repre-
sentatives from his state desire to Sc
cure an office. says William Il. Curtis
in the Chicago RecordHerald. There
are no charges against Mr.. Sawter.
ON the contrary, he is described by
Consul General Mason of Berlin as one
of the best men in the service.
President Mckinley is aware of that
fact. and in making the removal and
appointment considers only the claim
of the Connecticut senators for their
share of the patronage.
Early in the administration of Pres
dent Cleveland Consul General Mason
at Frankfort. who Is generally con-
sidered the best man in the service,
was notified that his resignation was
expected. and that a Mr.. Rapp of Hi
nois was To be his successor. He was
packing up his goods when Mark
Twain happened around that way and
visited the consulate. Being in
formed of the situation the latter
wrote letter to Ruth Cleveland, the
Baby daughter of the President, tell
ing her that he could not interfere in
matters of patronage, as he was Il
mugwump, but he considered it n
: ame That a man of experience and
ability like Consul General Mason
should be turned out of office simply
because some Democrat who knew
nothing about its duties wanted the
place. He said that he was acquainted
with n great many consuls, and that
Captain Mason was the best he had
ever known. and if her father ever
consulted her about the consular SER
wise he suggested that she advise him
not to disturb Il good man merely to
give places for politicians.
About month later Mr.. Clemens re-
ceived little note in President Cleve-
lands handwriting, in which Miss
Ruth Cleveland presented her compli-
ments to Mark Twain. thanked him for
calling attention to the threatened re-
moval of Consul Mason, and said that
if he knew of any similar cases the
President would be glad to hear from
him. Consul General Mason is still i'll
the service. and has since been pro
NOTED TO Berlin.

SPREAD OF DISEASE BY ANIMALS.
The subject of the relationship be-
tween the diseases to which man is
liable and those from which animals
suffer is very interesting and impor-
tant, and will well repay the study now
being given to it by physicians and
veterinary surgeons. These diseases
may be divided into three classes
those equally affecting both man and
animals. those special to man, but
which may also be caught by animals,
and those belonging to animals but
which may attack man If he comes in
close contact with the sick animal.
OF those equally affecting both man
and animals the best known is tuber-
culosis. Some physicians insist that
the tuberculosis of cows is not the
same as that of human beings, but
most are of the opinion that the differ
ences between the two diseases are
only such as might be expected to exist
in view OF the vital differences be-
tween the two classes of beings.
Another disease common to men and
some animals is smallpox. In this case
there seems to be more difference be-
tween the disease in man-smallpoN,
and that in animals-cowpox and
horsepox Yet that the two affections
are closely related is shown by the
protection against smallpox that is af-
forded us by incubation with cowpoX,
or vaccination.
Diphtheria and scarlet fever are
shared with us by various animals, and
it has been asserted by certain English
physicians that these diseases may be
conveyed to children in the milk from
sick cows. However this may be. there
is little doubt that cats, rabbits and
perhaps other domestic animals. can
acquire diphtheria from sick children.
and can in turn transmit it to healthy
children.
The plague is disease common to
man. monkeys and rodents, and is so
equally shared by them that no one
knows whether it was primarily hui
man disease or a rat pest.
Among the diseases belonging espe-
cially to animals. but which may also
be contracted by men, are hydrophobla,
anthrax or malignant pustule, CLAN
ders and foot-and-mouth disease.
Some of the parasitic skin diseases
are also transmissible from men to ami
mails, and the reverse A very common
example of this is ringworm, which Is
not infrequently introduced among the
children of a family by the cat.
THE FLY SETTLED THE QUESTION.
At a recent meeting of the Entomo-
logical Society in London the presi-
dent, Mr.. G. H.Verrall told an amusing
story to prove that a knowledge OF in
sects may even be useful in settling
questions in literary history. Commen-
tators on the works of Robert Louis
Stevenson were trying in vain to dis
cover whether the notes made by him
in certain book were written before
or after he took up his residence in
Samoa. 1t happened that fly had
been squeezed between the pages. and
when Mr.. Verrall saw it. he instantly
recognized 1t as belonging to a species
peculiar to the Polynesian islands
That settled the question.

CONTRAST BETwEEN THE POLES.

Mr. Arctowski, the geologist of the
Antarctic expedition in the steamer
Belgica calls attention to the difference
in the distribution of ice around the
two poles of the earth. The floating
ice of the north. he says, comes from
true glaciers which are pushed down
through valleys until they reach the
water, but the glacial caps themselves
do not meet the sea. At the south, on
the contrary. perpetual snow is en-
countered at the 65th degree of lati-
tude, and it is probable that the float
ing ice of the antarctic originates from
a layer covering the whole polar
i crown.
