A HINT TO BALp-HEADED PEopLE.-
Frederick Kemp writes from the silver
mines of Montana to the Hearald of
Health, giving the following hint in ref
erence to cure for baldheadedness !: q A
friend of mine who had the misfortune to
be baldheaded, knowing that there. is a
wonderful invigorating power in the SUMS
rays, last spring threw away his hat, and
worked in the gulch all spring, summer
and fall bare-headed, and also for the first
few days at midday. For the first few
days the rays of the hot sun on his head
were almost uncomfortable; aftor that time
he experienced no uneasiness whatever.
The result was that in the fall he had a.
good head of hair. And in this expert
ment he was not alone--several of his ac-'
quaintances who were bald-headed, having.
followed the same plan, they were all for
tunate enough to experience the same re-
suit" The editor adds that similar
case once came under his own observation
and PROCESSES to have no doubt that :" the
exposure of the skin to the air and SUM
shine, under proper circumstances, stimu-
lates it. to healthy action and with Il
those glands upon which the growth ofthe
hair depends"

FEMALE SUFFRAaE.-Thereis is one insu-
perable obstacle in the way Of female suf-
frage. I approach the subject with fear
and trembling, but it must out A woman
would never vote because she would have
to tell her age at the polls. And even Il
she did dare to vote once or twice, when
she was just of age, you know what dire
results would flow from " putting this
and that together" in after times. For
instance, IN an unguarded moment, Miss
a. says she voted for Mr.. Smith. Her
auditor, Aho knows that it has been seven
years since Smith ran for anything, easily
cyphers out that she is at least seven years
over age, instead of the young pullet she
has been making herself out TO be, No,
this new fashion of registering the name,
age, residence and occupation of every
voter is a fatal bar to female suffrage.

Thrushes feed very much on snails,
looking for them in messy banks. Having
frequently observed some broken snail
shells near two projecting pebbles on a
gravel walk, which had hollow between
them, endeavored to discover the occa-
sion of their being brought to that situa-:
ton. AT last l saw a thrush fly to the
spot with snail shell in his mouth, which
he placed between the two stones, and
hammered at it with his bill till he had
broken it, and was then able to feed upon
its contents The bird must have discov-'
cred that he could not apply his beak, with
sufficient force when it was rolling about,
and he, therefore, found out and made use.

Immediately seized and becomes the prey

froquents the haunts of moles. These an
imals, when in pursuit of worms, on which
they feed, frighten them, and the worm in

prey has been related of the gull.

The crop reports are most encouraging,
and should the weather prove propitious
during harvest, we may look for one of the
heaviest yields of grain ever known in this
country. How much of this gratifying re-
suit is attributable to the more liberal use
of manures than formerly, we are not pre-
pared to say, but doubtless it has had
much to do with it. If farmers would on
ly take into consideration the simple, in
controvitable fact, that generous manuring
is Indispensable to complete success in far
ming, we should have fewer failures of
crops to record 1t is satisfaction to
know, that by slow and gradual but GER
tain process, the agricultural mind of the
country in arriving at this wholesome con-
clusion, and that high manuring is begin
ing to assume its proper place in their es-
timation. Our advices from all sections,
indicate this, and the hope may reasonably
be INDUCED, that the day is not far distant
when the entire manurial resources of the
country will be brought into active play
and the United States become as it is right
fully and naturally should, the granary o.
the world. d.-Joarnal of the Farm.

Mrs. Howe is but novice in the cause,

season of pupilage under the present female
leaders of the suffrage movement, will help
her on wonderfully. She will soon learn
to swear at the men on all occasions to
denounce the marriage laws as tyrannical (;
to declare that free love and concubinage
are better than the present system of mar
riage; to pat the drunken scum of dogger-

TIE ACCIDENT TO SENATOR SPRAGUE.-We
are gratified to learn that Senator
Sprague has sufficiently recovered from tie
effects Of his late accident as to be able TO return
TO the city. Considering the severity of his
injuries, his progress towards recovery was
somewhat remarkable, inasmuch as he has
been able to take out-of door exercise for some
days past. The accident occurred while the
Senator was journeying from Cranston to his
summer residence at Narragansett, about four
weeks ago. He had ridden abou ut twenty Sc ven
miles on his way, when his horse fell and
rolled over in such a manner as to bring the
rider's foot under him. Although the shock
was severe and the pain intense, the Senator
did not realize the extent Of the accident until,
having risen from the ground, he looked down
and saw, TO use his own words, the sole OF his
boot staring him in the face. He then took hold
of his foot. bent IL down 10 its natural position,
lifted himself on 10 the horse, then standing by
his side, and rode three miles TO his home, ar
rlying at Rine O'Clock in the evening. Fortu-

places, was properly and speedily adjusted

A THING ON WATER.---Ye local has long languished for an item. He has resolved and re-resolved to have one, if it had to be gotten up for the occasion. By con- catenation of fortuitous circumstances, the thing came to pass without the aid of any extraneous arrangements. It happened last night Somewhere near the hour of eleven, friendly voice was heard at our open window inquiring for his young sa tanc majesty, and informing him that a large raft of timber was in the eddy be- low the wharf which might be caught up. The information was gently imparted to us and with the glittering prospect of heavy salvage, ye local and his young majesty rushed frantically to the rivers bank, straining our optics for glimpse of the prize. It was discovered floating tran- qully adown tie moonlit surface of the beautiful and majestic river that glides in noiseless sublimity past our embryonic city In the impulse of our nature we rushed frantically forward again, and con tinuing the rush we soon found ourselves opposite the object of our then greatest desire, with canoe at hand, which soon placed us on the raft. There was some thing like two hundred larg cypress logs well pinned together. We could not find any rope to tie it with, but went to work to paddle it to the bank with two long poles. We soon found that itwas drifting towards the opposite shore. During this time about twenty feet of small rope was discovered We waited anxiously for it to run against the bank, when we could tie it with the rope we had found. One corner touched the bank and we tried to tie. The raft would not stop. We had partially concluded to let it go it's way, when some one in boat below, probably the owner, cried out, "Don't tie up tha' block of timber." "Let that raft come down P This satisfied us that the proper owner was near, and we never tied it up An hours hard paddling brought us home. Our advice is, never check up large rafl of timber in strong current, with twen ty foot rope, when the owner may be neal and object to having it stopped.
