FARMERS RARELY BALD.
Disquisition by the Barber on Why They're Not When They City
 Folks Are.

New York Sun.
 Ever see a real back country farmer with bald head?" asked the suburban barber replying to the request of his in teHectual sitter for a reason for the thin- ming Of his capillary thatch. Now, have worked in fully half the States in the Union, in town and in country, and never have. The head of the kind of a farmer I'm thinking of may be we'll sup piled with hayseed and barn dust but the hair is generally very silky and well rtourished.
 No. I don't believe that dust or seeds mistake there. But l am sure that the continual washing of the scalp is about the worst thing possible for the roots of the hair Now, gentlemen think nothing little ammonia in the water to soften it. Most of them make Sure of clean scalp by using soap. The effect upon the head Is the same in both cases. The natural healthy scalp is completely removed. And that just starves out the roots of the hair, as really as though you wash a lily bulb clear of it's soil and set it to grow on the slab. Pomatum? Say can sell you cheap as you can buy anywhere pretty nearly every kind used in the pro- fession Maybe they are pretty good; {; most of them, anyway But no maker has yet claimed to have discovered a hair preserver. quite as good as the natural oil which you find about the heads on healthy young children, for in- stance. If I could discover just how to make that and how to apply it I could strike a fortune in no time. Now the back country farmer I am taking about washes his head maybe twice or three times year, that is, in threshng time or when he takes a dip in the creek. And you see the result.
 Then there's another thing to remem- her. The farmer lives pretty much by physical labor. That means he does not, as a rule, overheat his head by planning and thinking. like the city man or the rest. who gets their living by their brains Such men dry up all the natural oil springs nature stuck about the head by their intense heat. We find when we cut 1t that thir hair Is quite crisp and hard, what there is of it,
 Then your advice would be Keep cool and let your hair grow as the boys used to say?"
 Sure. and more important still, never wash your head with anything which will make a father unless you are bolig,d to. If you have to. be sure you wash all the lye and ammonia and such like we'll out of the scalp with water, to give the oil chance to do it's best.

Directly opposite is another mirror, cost ing $500, in which the $40 extravagance of John Adams is continuously reflected. Sur mounting the portrait of Washington is a flag made of the first silk woven on American soil-during the early days oi the mulberry craze-and presented to the government by ladies of Philadelphia.
 It is here that Senator Frye comes for a few moments of relaxation when the Senate has adjourned-takes up a book and black cigar for a breathing spell and, we may suspect, spends a few mo- ments in reverie concerning the good fishing streams away up in Maine

the principles of morality. patriotism and Republicanism that he can speak at ran- dom without the least preparation and yet be certain to say the right and of- tnodox thing.
 That seems to cover the whole ground. All the great statesmen, from Moses down to Mark Hanna, can't show such record as that. True, people who are disposed to be critical can find many ex- pressions in Roosevelts speeches that had much better been left unsaid, and many other occasi )ns where he might have given information on important topics but did not. The Journal can see none of these, and is to be congratulated on its discovery of a man who never makes mistakes.

The Thomasville (Ga.) Times-Enter- prise, referring to what The Advertiser said about some papers failing to give credit, Says it has received some of It's Georgia contemporaries with as many as a dozen cribbed editorial items. That is not a fair and square way for brethren to treat each other, and they should stop it, Crlbbing type or white paper would be little more reprehensible.

Don't worry if your last years Pan- anna hat seems to be a little unshapeIy. A hat to be quite the style now, should look as If the dog had slept on 1t last winter" is the soothing advice given by The Columbus Enquirer-Sun to those who are in doubt about the proper shape for their Panamas. Really we don't think it makes a morsel of difference. We see some worn in Montgomery that look more like last years birds nests than any, thing else, but they appear to be good style, if not good form

IT IS TOO PREVIOUS.

The Montgomery Advertiser objects to newspaper reporters "nagging MT. Cleveland and insisting that he shall come out in plain words and say that he will or will not be a candidate for the Presidency. This Is funny in The Adver- tiser, when 1t should know that this is just what is desired by MT. Cleveland But in fact Mir. Cleveland should come out plainly and sustain his reputation for openness and veracity. On previous oc- casion when a third person was involved, the truth" and made votes by his hon. esty MT. Cleveland is a plain, blunt man, and dissemblance lilly becomes him. Mobile Item.
 Whether The Advertiser should know just what is desired by MT. Cleveland'' may or may not be true, but the fact re- mains that it does not know, not being acquainted with his unspoken thoughts. MT. Cleveland has not, So far as we are aware, spoken any word which can be taken as an indication of his wishes or inclinations. He is keeping as quiet as he is allowed to be, and not exploiting him. self in any manner. And, if he should come out in direct words and declare that he will not accept a nomination, would not The Item be one of the first to ad- wise him to wait till the nomination Is offered him? Yea, verify, and it would wear out a good Faber discussing the "assumacy of MT. Cleveland and would read lessons of modesty and several other things to him.
 The truth is that many newspapers of the country are demanding from MT. Cleveland what they do from no one else. German, Hill, Oiney. Sheppard, Parker and others are all more or less discussed as possibilities. but so far as we have observed none of them has been asked for definite acceptance or refusal nor has 1t been considered necessary or ap- pIopriate for them to announce in ad- vance what they will do, if a nomination Is rendered them. It is just as appropri- ate to ask them as 1t is to ask Mir. Cleveland. and we repeat that there has been neither the time nor the occasion for him to announce his intentions.

Telegraphing From Trains.

Consul-General Richard Guenther re- ports from Frankfort, Germany, to the State Department as follows:
 '"The Berlin Tageblatt publishes mes sage sent by it's correspondent from a moving railroad train between Rangs- dorf and Zossen. stating that on that by the Association for Wireless Telegra- phy, Braun-Siemens system During the Journey lively communication was held between the moving train and the stations of Marienfelde and Randsdorf The ab- solute reliability of the messages trans mitted was proved.''

The Kansas City Journal is an easily pleased citizen. To read some of its edi- torials one would think that all the wis. dom of the ancients and moderns had been rolled up in a pill and swallowed by the President. It says:

The Portland oregonian has assuredly queered itself with the administration by printing picture called "a study of the Chief Executives face as he talked yes terday without his spectacles." It Is one of the most brutal faces We ever looked on, and the most abandoned Bowery tough would have good ground for libel suit, if his name should appear beneath such picture. However, the paper may have saved itself by the editorial in the same issue in which it compares Roose- welt to Andrew Jackson with the odds just little in favor of Teddy. True, the editorial and the picture do not harmon lze to any alarming extent, but the edi- tor can throw off on the artist. However that may be, the picture itself would throw timid child into fits and send the ce ts under the bed for safety.

HIS LATEST FIND.

Judge Walter Clark of North Carolina is, as many readers are probably aware, one of the latest of MT. Bryan's Presi- dential discoveries. He is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that State, and, as one authority informs us, he is a Methodist in religion an ardent Bryan ite in politics, and a great admirer of Napoleon Bonaparte." MT. Bryan ten tatively asks, Whats the matter with Judge Clark?'
 Well. there may be several things the bility. Of course. his religious views or connections can have nothing to do with his fitness or availability, but the fact that ''he is an ardent Bryanite in poll ties sets him back several pegs, if he is still ardent. If by ardent Bryanite' is meant that he Is still saturated with the fallacies which have been so decidedly discredited, then, of course, he is out of the running No ardent Bryanite" need waltz up to the weigher's stand with the expectation of getting place among the starters.
 But we don't know so well about that other qualification. "A great admirer of Napoleon Bohapaste'' may or may not be good Presidential timber. We confess that there were some accomplishments possessed by Bony that have never ap- pealed very highly to our better nature. For one thing, he was too much in the habit of trying to corral everything in sight. He was a great grabber, was Bony, and while that might advance him in the estimation of some of our most ardent imperialists, we hardly think it is peculiarity that would commend him to the average Democrat, or that an ar- dent admirer of him is any better fitted for the Democfatic nomination. How ever, we presume MT. Bryan has switch ed off to another name by this time so we needn't worry over this one. And in this connection we find the esteemed Bir- ningham Ledger saying:
 Chief Justice Clarke of North Carolina is said to be MT. Bryan's choice for Pres ident if the Democrats can elect him. So far as the Democratic Party is con cerned, 1t is willing to have either Bryan or Cleveland name the nominee, and would like for them to agree on a man. Judge Clarke is said to be one of the ablest men in the South.
 Beyond a doubt, The Ledger can take some of the widest shoots of any sane newspaper that we read. What, in heavens name, would the Party gain over 1896 and 195O by allowing Mr. Bryan to name the candidate and formulate the platform? for, of course, a candidate named by him must have a platform which would be acceptable to MT. Bryan We do not believe that Mir Cleveland wants to "name the nominee" and to turn the job over to Bryan would be to invite predestined defeat. Has The Ledger any other absurd propositions?
