''does the aqueous vapor precipitate

Robbed to play Poker.

In one of the southern states a
man whose habits were bad, robbed
an express company OF several thou
sand dollars. Instead of decamping
he remained in the city. He con-
fessed to the theft and said he had
lost the money playing poker. The
surety company sent man TO prose
cute the thief. He found the de-
faulter had been receiving a good sal
airy from the express company and
that there was no reason for his
taking the money. Further investiga.
ton revealed the fact that the county
attorney had sat in the poker game
and won most of the money: the
other players were friends of the
county attorney. The surety company
dropped the case at once and paid the
express company the amount of the
loss.

compared with brick: and the wall
goes up quickly when everything goes

to stop and chisel blocks to fit, then
the expense for labor mounts at a
lively rate.

HOPE FOR THE BALD HEAD
Sewing Hairs on Scalp Is Proving
Suceessful-Flne Gold Wires
Are Used.

A method OF sewing hairs in the
human scalp in cases of partial or
total badness has been successfully
used in several instances by Doctor
Szekely, at the hospital of Saint Ste
plane at Budapest, and a report ap-
pears in the London Times.
The number of hairs planted" in
the head of patient has been as
many as 10000 One hundred hairs
are drawn through punctures in the
scalp at every square centimeter, and
as both ends are left free, the num-
Der is thus 200, or over one thousand
TO each square inch. Very fine gold
wires are used, one tiye-hundredth of
an inch in diameter, and fine long
hairs from a woman's head are at
tached to the middle of these. The
gold loop or knot acts as an anchor
and after sterilization is introduced
into the subcutaneous tissue, where
1t is slightly twisted, and holds the
hair permanently in position. 1t is
stated that 500 hairs can thus be in
troduced into the scalp within three
quarters OF an hour.
Doctor Szekely has designed spe-
cial instrument for introducing and
fixing the gold wires. The latter are
so light and SO fine that the total
amount Of gold in the scalp after
planting" $4,000 hairs is only one
gramme. The hair is stated to appear
perfectly natural, and sapcule of
tissue appears to form around each
gold wire knot The Inflammation
resulting from the treatment entirely
disappears in form ten to twelve days,
and In no case so far has any in
tense inflammation or suppuration re-
suited. The hair can be washed,
brushed and treated with oil in the
ordinary way, and one Of the earliest
patients so treated, lady, has re-
tanned her hair intact with the orig
inal luster and fiexibility, for over
seven years.

Soon afterward he complained to

Then Pigot hired hall, invited the

Subsequently he sued the electric
