Fiddle and Grow Hair.

1t is now a scientifically proved fact
that music exercises a great influence
on the growth of the hair. 1t Is with
good reason that great musicians, such
as Paganinl. List and Paderewski,
are represented with growth OF hair
which Absalom might have envied.
Science has proved that stringed In
struments have a favorable influence
on the growth of the hair, while brass
instruments act In the opposite direc-
ton. Every one has probably observed
that bald viollnlst is as rare as a
bald horn player is common. Wood in
struments, such as the flute. seem to
have no pronounced influence either

A Terrible Situation.

There can be few more terrible dis
coveries than that the man In your
company has suddenly gone mad and
that you cannot escape him. That was
the position of an old lady and her fe-
male companion when. just as their
train was gliding out Of London ter
minus, man popped into the carriage
and banged the door after him. The
frst stop was eighty miles away. and
II seemed as far as eternity when the
man produced from his pocket num-
Der of razors and began to cut up an
orange. The old lady gave her fur boa
an extra twist about her throat do
you like orange?" said the maniac as
he stuck a piece on the end of razor
and popped 1t into her mouth. She ae-
cepted the gift with thanks, and he
was anxious to feed her with more.
She assured him that she liked to eat
her orange slowly and made it last.
She had to make each portion given to
her on the razor last her so long that
there was still a piece or two left when
the first stoppage and rescue came

SURVIVAL OF MAN

(By Charles E, Woodruff, NJ d.
So much popular attention has been
given to the diminishing birth rate
in civilized races that it is astounding
there has been so little said as to its
real significance as natural law
which has been operative in all species
of plant or animal. man included,
whenever the conditions of existence
demanded it. In the struggle for ex-
istence there are thousands of factors
determining survival, and the number
of offspring from one pair of parents

that each affair was from one to four

lived in the suburbs and came in to

OF all the musical curiosities that
Nature has produced lately one of the
oldest is a man with a piano In his

q man by the name of Pearson, his
native state is said to be Arkansas,
but he now resides in a small Wash
ington town. who can, without any
undue effort, send forth remarkable
melodies which sound like the music
of piano with melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as 1t has been
termed by the owner, is partly a gift
Of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated
the use of the extraordinary instru
ment very carefully and thoroughly.
until now he is able to play several
familiar tunes with wonderful express
sion and technique. Friends of Pear.
son say that his services are invalu-
able when church fairs, bazaars and
country entertainments are on hand.
He makes an excellent barker, and
his tuneful voice penetra -es the fur
thermost corner of meeting house or
tent. He says that other people could
perfect themselves in the same &C
comphshment if they tried it and prsc-
dced it regularly
