glad were the country folk to be rid Of

And that night the poor children OF
London had a jolliacation. In one place
down near the Peoples Palace there were
six organs playing the same tune in sew

two hundred children, who danced like
little dervishes and seemed to be having
the time of their lives. And If the man

A Pair of Horses That stopped When

A Pair OF Horses That stopped When
the whistles Blew.
A pair of intelligent horses attracted
the attention of large crowd on Mas
sau street at noon one day last week.
They were attached to heavily load
ed ice wagon coming down the steep
grade between Cedar street and Maid
en- lane and were holding back the
wagon with noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for IL o'clock. Suddenly. the
horses drew in toward the curb and
began to plant their hind feet well for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and then at the driver, who
had broad grin on his face. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his ami
mails. One of them Immediately be-
gan rubbing his head against the neck
of the other and with mods and pushes
succeeded in rubbing his bride off.
Then the other horse took his turn at
rubbing, and his bride came of.
Fully 200 persons had watched this.
and when it was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung a
bag of oats over the nose of each ami
NAL. They stood there and ate their
midday meal. The driver was patient
and proud Of his team. He petted them
and talked to them and when they
were through drove of whistling.

noon whistle" said one man-"that
beats anything ever saw. No one
hereafter need try to convince me Of
the intelligence of the horse. That ice

Rogufsh Ravens.

The raven Of southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller In Corsica, offer
amusing proof of this.
A youth whom employed to carry
my camera could never look on ravens
with any equanimity, for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish Inn
pudence when sent to the bush to
gather firewood.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, a
loaf Of bread wrapped in napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid 1t and had turn
ed bis back for only minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on day
when he was out gathering wood. As
he was STOPPING down to bind a bun
die Of fagots raven suddenly swoop-
ed from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and few away with it to lofty
crag, from which she uttered croaks
Of triumph.
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for nest.

THE CAUSE OF BADNESS.
Az n Rule the Hair Should Last a
Long aB the Man.

AZ q Rule the HAIR ShOuAO LaSp az
Long as the Man.
The hair of the head was evidently in
tended by nature as a protection to the
delicate brain substance, and it would no
doubt answer this purpose admirably if 1t
were given the opportunity, as we see it
perversely do In the case of savages and
others who need such protection little.
1t is generally supposed that badness,
like gray hair, is a necessary accompani-
ment of advancing age, but this is only
because the older man Ia the more time
he has had to neglect and abuse his hair,
and so the more likely he is to have lost 1t.
Some men are more prone to badness
than others because of thinness Of the
scalp, which interferes with the proper
blood supply to the hair roots. This is
often family failing, but in such cases
badness might be prevented or postponed
for many years by care. In a few in
stances the hair falls out as a result Of
some special disease, but for the great
majority of men there Is absolutely no
reason why, if properly treated, the hair
should not last as long as the man.
The chief cause of badness is pressure
by the hat, which constructs the blood yes
sells and so interferes with the nutrition
of the hair bulbs. 1t is probable, also,
that the shutting of of light and air by
the hat helps the mischief. An unhealthy
condition of the scalp results, the sign Of
which is plentiful amount of dandruff.
There are many facts which go to prove
the truth of this opinion In the first
place, women rarely become bald. They
wear hats, it is true, but their hats are
not air tight castings, nor do they make
pressure round the head like mans hat.
Then badness is almost unknown among
savages, who wear no hats, and is COM
paratively uncommon with men in the
tropics, where very light hats are worn.
Laborers are less prone to badness
than professional and business men. This
has led to the belief that brain work IA
vors badness by withdrawing blood from
the scalp. but this is only self hattery on
the part Of those who advance the theory.
Laborers generally wear soft felt hats or
caps, which are apt to be pushed to the
back Of the head, so that the scalp gets
plenty of light and air.
As further proof, we find that the bald
est men usually have sufficient hair at the
back and on the sides Of the head below
the hat line.
The inference is plain-wear soft hat
or none at all. If custom forbids this,
then the best a city man can do is to
wear his hat as little as possible and
never to keep it on in the house or Office.
