Mice May Cause Ba1dness.

A barber had been giving the writer much information about the hair, and then remarked that not long since quite young man hadGcome into his shop who had lost all his hair. It had come off very suddenly and for no ap- parent reason. says the London Spec tator. The barber said: s'You have a cat?" ''No,' he replied, ''we have no cat in the house" Then you have a terrier that catches mice. and it comes in contact with your head?" "Yes, 7 said the'man, s.I have; and it's favorite seat is on the top of my armchair, close to my head. The old barber then explained that his sudden bald ness was disease belonging to mice, that could be passed on to human be- ings by contact with an animal that touched them. Whether there is any, thing in this or not I cannot say.

ENGLISH 4nA.S oe INVASION.
rDeztructive-Insect Act" Comes Into Force ASafn-Ts Aimed at the
 Colorado Beetle.

Fear of invasion is more or less chronic among Englsnmen, who, for sturdy race, are singularly subject to nervous alarm. For years past parlia- mentary vigilance has been directed against the Colorado beetle, which, having in 20 years spread from the Rocky mountains through all of east ern America, was in 1877 threatening the coast of Europe. It was in that moment of peril that parliament passed g "destructive-insect act" under the provision of which every person meet ing with a specimen of the beetle in any of it's stages was bound, under a penalty of z 10, to notify it to a police consta ble, who must at once inform the local authorities, who must tele- graph to the board of agriculture. Be sides this, any person keeping or sell ing a living specimen of the beetle in any of it's stages was liable to the same penalty of 2 10. Stimulated by the rear of the penalty many specimens of the beetle kind were reported to the proper authorities, and the prisoner duly discharged upon proof being of fered that the suspect was of British entecedents.
 This year, according to the New York Post, the old act comes into force again through the discovery of the Col orado beetle near TiIbury. and we may have the chance to see tested, in small, rnuch-mooted theories of stamping out imported n1isances by legislation.

Republican Plurality Exceeds That
 of Former ..OR Years"
 COLUMBUS, O., Nov. With d. most complete returns now in. it is noted that the Republican plurality beats all records in what has become known as the quadrennial of year. and, with two exceptions, the records of other years. In off years, or those following presidential election, the Democrats have carried Ohio. the ex- captions being in 1881. after the death of Garfield, and in 1885 and 1893, after the Cleveland elections.
 In two of these exceptional years the president was Democrat. and those were considered off years for the Dem ocrats. With the single exception of Hoadly in 1883, the Democrats never elected governor of Ohio in any other than off years since the Republican party originated, and then they won on local issue of liquor taxation.
 Wherever local issues were pa1a- mount this year the Republicans sus- tained losses, notably at Columbus, on account of local option, and at Cleye- land, on account of Mayor Johnson's $ agitation of taxation inequalities. .'' Where no such conditions were con- fronted the Republicans made gains, and they carried some Democratic counties that never before were repre. sented by Republicans.

Eating a Herd of Cattle.

If you abruptly inform man of 50 that he has slowed a herd of catle un- der his belt in his time he will put you down as third-year man at an insane asylum. Figures, however, don't lie, and you can give him a statistical knockout. A healthy man eats, on a conservative estimate, one pound of meat every day of his life, and in 50 years will devour 21 800. Allowing 1000 pounds as the average weight ofa beef, you have 22 cattle, a pretty respectable herd, think. There are lots of other surprising things that figures will dem- onstrate, but haven't time to spring 'em just now.-Philad delphia Record.
