Music as a Hair ReStorer.

Here is hope for the baldheaded. A
Airs. Holbrook Of New York says that
music will cure all human ailments
and that the vibrations from piano
are especially good for the hair. OF
course we have all heard alleged piano
music that would cause one to tear out
his hair in great handfuls, but this is
not part of the programme. The girl
that practices next door would not only
make man lose his capillary adorn
ment, but would render him pessi-
mist thirsting for the gore of his fell
low beings. 1t is safe to say that this
is not the sort of piano playing Mrs.
Holbrook means. She doubtless refers
to the divine melodies pounded out by
the masters, and to prove that these
cause the locks to sprout and wax
vigorous she points to the fact that
Paderewski and other celebrated plan.
lists each has enough hair for four or
dinary men. If this be true, then foot
ball playing must be regarded as a
hair restorative also. OF course there
are doubling Thomases who will con
tend that the moplike growths on the
heads of both pianists and footballists
are due simply to a lack of proper bar
bering, but the world has ever been
filled with scoffers.
1t seems, however, that all music is
not good for badness. The blasts of
wind instruments especially fall on the
young and tender hair sprouts as the
hot wind of Kansas smites the growing
corn. For isn't it fact that men who
sit in the front rows of the theaters,
where they get the draft from the
saXophone and the cornet, are nearly
always bald?
Mrs. Hobrook hastens to admonish
us that We must not undertake the
musical cure for badness "raShly'
The very tune that creates capillary
luxuriance upon one shining dome of
thought will cause the hair to fall out
OH another The only safe way is to
keep away from the deadly Scotch
bagpipe and other wind Instruments
and experiment with piano music until
the right tones are found. Having
found the tune that seems to raise hair
on the barren wastes of billiard ball
scalp, stick to it and keep out of all
drafty music
Go to the piano, thou baldhead. Alb
sorb vibrations into thy cleaning dome
until thy poll resemblest the pampas
plume in all it's glory!

Circumventing the Servant Girl.

1t is known that the ancient Egyp-
tians had malleable glass. and the mod
ern occidentallst has long sought to
discover the lost art of its manufac-
ture While this has not been success
full, it is now claimed that dishes are
being made which will withstand the
ravages of either the proverbial bull
in a china shop or the servant girl,
who is almost equally destructive.
In Liege. Belgium, the famous Com
pany du Vol St Lambert crockery is
made, which through the peculiar hard
ening process employed not only sue
cessfully resists wear and tear. but is
almost proof against breakage
So difficult to break is this new crock
cry that a hardened crystal dish has
been used as hammer in driving nails
into wood. 1t can be put into boiling
water and then plunged into the cold
est ice water without cracking and
dropped on the floor at liberty without
breaking.
And yet it is so fine that it closely
resembles the finest translucent china
in appearance. A writer who visited
this tablishment says he saw speci-
mems of this ware thrown against the
stone floor of the warehouse and go
bounding the length of the building
without injury.
1t may do all this, however, and still
not stand the onslaught of the modern
domestic.

workers of our great cities have | seen
more ideal relations between rich and
poor The greatest practical interest
Is shown by the members of the pro-
prietary family in all that concerns the
welfare of their peasants.
Above all, unfailing love. sympathy
and trust are both given and returned
in full measure between them. Upon
the return home of daughter of the
house as bride the peasants join the
family in the general welcome at the
entrance TO the village, Offering their
homemade sweets and toasts in their
own home brewed wine The intimate
thou" is always exchanged between
them, as well as the whole category
of caressing names, little SOUL" little
dove" little mother" etc, with which
the Russian language ab0unds.
This close touch and freedom of rela-
tions with the lower classes brings us
to one of the salient characteristics of
the Slav nature. Mindful of the prob
able exceptions there must be to prove
the rule, one can say in absolute truth
that Russian snob is an impossibility.
When the peasant girl becomes en-
gagged TO be married and is about to
leave her fathers home her first duty
is to follow the time honored custom
of throwing herself at her fathers feet.
there to sob out her thanks for her past
life and beg forgiveness for all she
may have done amiss. High and low
alike show this spirit of really Christ
like humility.
Many other traits of the peasant s
childlike nature are rooted deep in the
heart Of every son and daughter of
Rurik. Simplicity, unconsciousneSs and
frankness seem their chief character
istics, combined with the paradoxical
passionate intensity and insouciant
gayety of children. Yet above every
stands supreme.
We are striving to return to nature
in our civilization; the Russian has
never left it. His simplicity and frank.
ness bear the unconscious charm OF
some bright, resistless fountain burst.
ing forth from the heart of nature
AS we continue our observations OF
the Russian character we are recalled
to our first impressions in again com
ing across curiously American traits
These are more external. to be sure
and perhaps, like our own, greatly the
result of a large. new and developing
country. The American notes with 9
thrill of sympathy the Russians open
handedness, the freedom with which
money is spent and even wasted OF
little external luXuries of bonbons anG
flowers, the recklessness of spending
the last penny in his purse with as
much freedom as the first. There is {
more than American generosity abou
the Russian, who knows no such thing
as "Dutch treat" but must pay every
thing himself, even his friends hote
bills and cab fares, and who canno
come home from shopping bout with
out arms ladened win gifts.
