VIOLIN IS HERALDED AS

Music Is Decided Aid to Hair.

''If you are bald, learn the violin,
Is the moral to be drawn from a star
tllng statement made by NJ. Henri de
Parville in London recently. Accord
ing to this authority, music exercises a
manifest action upon the nervous sys-
tenn, which itself also affects the nutri
ton of the bodily tissues; therefore it
seems reasonable to conclude that In q
general way music has an influence
upon the physiological individuality.
Musicians, 1t appears, are bald In the
proportion Of IL per cent, but among
instrumentalists the influence Of musi-
cal vibrations makes itself felt In two
opposite directions, according to the
class Of instrument.
Thus, while string instruments pre-
vent and arrest the falling off of the
hair, the brass instruments exercise the
most deadly influence upon the scalp.
The piano and the VIOLIN especially
the former, have an undeniably pre-
servative effect
The trombone, however Is the most
deleterious Of all, for in five or six
years the player has lost at least 60
per cent Of his hair. This disagree
able result is known as fanfare bald

was ten years ago that Myra

orphan niece and nephew her duty.
They were twins, and their future she
considered to be her sacred care.

neighbors said 1t was no wonder My
It was good thing she had no love af-
fair, for the twins would shatter an
idol Of brass.
They were babes in long clothes
when she brought them to hardwood
and began her career as foster mother.
Not that she really felt capable. but,
devout in all her Christian work. she
felt that the strength and wisdom
would be given her for the task. and
she took up the burden with light
and happy heart She built air castles
and wrought pretty clothes for them
at the same time. The former were Of
short duration-a habit of air castles
and the latter lasted but little longer,
when the twins got to scrapping.
The turkey with the chestnut stuff

crate fire would have 1t done to turn
when the dinner hour came. The
pumpkin and mince pies were tempt
sngly arrayed on the pantry shelf.
The dining table had been heightened
and set with the best linen and china
and everything ready for the usual
Thanksgiving guests.
The twins were unusually restless
and held many secret conclaves, which
Myra was too busy to notice.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
NAPOLEON'S SECOND FU-
NERAC.

In his will Napoleon expressed
a desire that his body might re-
pose ION the banks Of the Seine,
amid the people he had loved so
WE'LL" but his wish was not COM
piled with till twenty years
after his death. In 1840 tho
French government requested
permission Of England TO re-
move his body to France, and
the request was courteously
granted. Two vessels bearing a
special commission sailed for
st. Helena In July, arriving
there October 8. On the 18th the
body was taken up and placed
In splendid ebony sarcophagus,
In which II was carried to
France. The funeral party ar
rived at Courbevoie, q suburb
OF Paris, on December IL. Next
day the solemn procession
moved to the Hotel des In
vaIldes, beneath whose great
dome the body was to find It's
final resting place. The mag
nificent funeral car Of velvet
and gold was twenty feet long
and nearly fifty feet high, and
was drawn by sixteen beautiful
black horses, harnessed four
abreast. Following the car were
lnnumerabIe military and civic
organizations, In whose ranks
were many veterans who had
followed Napoleon to Victory.
The line of march was a con-
tlnuous procession Of flowers
and gllded statues and trIumphaI
arches. Never before or since
has the world beheld so mag
nificent a funeral. Though the
weather was intensely cold, six
hundred thousand people stood
In line that day and paid
homage to the dead emperor.
