No Bald-Headed Consumptives.

NO Bald-deaded ConSunpt1VeS.
There are advantages accruing even
from bald heads. 1t is pointed out by
q writer in a medical journal that bald
headed men never suffer from con-
sumption, and that a tendency to bald
ness is an assurance that the dreaded
scourge will pass over him whose
thatch grows thin. At first glance it
would seem absurd to argue that a
mans hair is indicative of his immuni-
ty from disease, but the writer who ad-
Vances this novel theory declares that
In the five years during which he seri-
ously added a record Of his patients
hair or lack of it his case cards have
failed. to show a single instance of
bald" being upon the card of a con-
sumptive. He had under treatment
more than 700 cases, and he makes the
further statement that in a census of
more than 5000 tuberculosis cases he
failed to discover a single sufferer who
was bald. He makes no effort to eX-
plain his theory upon medical grounds,
but simply offers the results of his
observation for the benefit of the pro-
fession, c1d has invited his brother
physicians to write him OF any case
Of a bald-headed consumptive coming

The ukase directed against the free

issued by King Peter, was the retort
of that monarch to a number of news
papers which have recently held him
up to approbrium. The Narodny List
was the greatest offender in this re-
spect, for each day it came out with
a question of which the following are
samples:

no less squeamish in their manner of

been much discussed vet either in or

seriously taken up and wisely dealt
with. The President gets along with
out known embarrassment on his pres

to double his salary would be popular,
though the end sought might perhaps
be better realized by providing that all
Presidents shall have life pensions of
$4,000. The argument for increasing
the Vice-President's salary is that the
dignity and attractiveness Of the
Office need to be increased. The
Speakership is one Of the great Offices
OF our Government, and its salary
should get within sight Of its impor-
tance. Another great office is that of
