HOW TO BECOME BALD. A GERMAN PHYSICIAN GIVES SOME SARCASTIC ADVICE. Speaks of Mnr I);incorou Practice n That Are Very Common, lNppolull.v - Among J'eople AVIio I'riiln Themselves on nphiR Cleanly II I tits to the Wise. A clever writer, the possessor in nil prol ability of n bntd haul, litis proved that baldness is n product and sin of culture. According to this savant a man's growth of hair lessens in proportion to Ids advanco ment iti civilization. He declares that every anthropologist could prove this us Mimption by exnmfniug the races of man kind. The old Romans then looked upon the bald ltead from a wrong point of view when they only paid half price for a "slave with a shining pato." If baldness is a sign of culture, some thing "devoutly to be wished," wir shall perform a public service in showing bow this condition can be quickly reached. Xon--cientific people will possibly study our advice in order t,o lo the opposite, ami thus keen their hair as Ioiik as possible. We protest at once against such misuse of j our wnIoiii. Before enumerating the ways to Iwcomo bald, it may liu better to say a few words regarding the necessity of an art to accom plish that end. Doubters might say that there was no art in becoming bald: that time and ago would accomplish that de sideratum without other aid. "Wo lose, in the course of time," said Voltaire, "our teeth, our hair and our ideas." That may be true as far as the teeth and ideas are concerned, but we cannot always denend upon losing our hair. There nro ' many aged men with heavy heads of hair. The hope, therefore, that age will make one bald is deceptive. , Persons who long for the proofs of cul ture must resort at once to metho'ds of art. It is not even possible to depend upon loss of hair after sickness, as it usually grows again when health has returned. But art accomplishes other results i:ffkct of m:a covkkixgs. The first good rule is to keep the head warm. In summer if you wish to become bald do not wear a straw hat. On the con trary, let your headgear be a felt or cloth iiat, a derby or a stovepipe, in winter al ways wear a fur cap. While in the house at all times of the year do not fail to wear a fez or an oil cap omen, whoso light hats do not wear l the hair rapidly L-nougli, may accomplish tiiatond by using heavy switches of false hair A roll of false hair will work even more rapidly than a fur cap, as the hairs will fall out by the hundreds when the roll is heavy enough. The beloved nightcap, so dear to our grandmothers, is to be highly recommended also, The helmet of the of ficer and policeman is also a splendid in vention. What is the effect of these head cover ings? ' They make the head perspire. .Mofctu.ro is the deadly enemy of hair. On the temples and the back of the head near the neck, usually untouched by the hats and caps, it is seldom that oue sees bald ness. On the other hand, the hair usually falls out on the parts of the head which are covered. A bald ring often marks the position of the hat or cap. As perspiration destroys tho hair, fre quent use of steam baths is to be highly recommended. The habitues of the Rus sian and Turkish baths can show, almost without exception, beautiful bald pates. As stated above, moisture is the deadly enemy of the hair. Consequently, diving, when-one is in bathing or swimming, is a praiseworthy practice. Tho douche is even more effective. I cannot praise it too greatly. ItAPID MKAXS EASILY AT HAND. The custom of many women of allowing their wet hair todry in tlieairalso deserves to be mentioned here. The moisture re mains longer in the hair when allowed to dry, and acts accordingly I'lMj.widespread practice of . washing tho head is a good thing also. A enmn with moderately nar- row teeth will clean t lie head if properly i u-ed. I However, as it does not destroy the hair ranidlv enough, it is advisable to wash it frequently KUinger has proved from sta tistical reports that eighty-iivooutof every hundred fortunate possessors of bald heads iiave been accustomed to washing their hair from early childhood. That is really encouraging. The various hair waters, hair oils, po- mades, coloring substances and other in-f ventious of the barbers and perfumers must be considered also. They are all praiseworthy The pomades and hair oils .accomplish their purpose in various ways. j Tho warmth of the head makes them ran- ad and sticky Tho scalp becomes irri- i t.ited and makes washing necessary. I he other cosmetics for tho hair contain poi sonous chemicals. Tho fluids for coloring the hair, for- in stance, are made almost, invariably, in part, of Halt of lead, which ;iot only poi sons the roots of the hair, but the wholo body in the course of rime. The materials supposed to aid the growth of hair are usually admirably adapted to destroy tho bita that may bo left on tho head of the user. COMUIXO. UllUSIIIXO, StXGinXG, ETC. All pulling, tearing, rubbing und toss ing of the hair aids it in falling out. I rec- ' rec! 1 ommend, therefore, the frequent use of hard brushes, such as Kttel brushes, uur young dandles who "curry" their heads every morning with two brushes, and in the course of the day comb their hair when ever they see a mirror, are on the right road to baldness. That is also true of women who allow their hair to be combed by unpracticed serv ant. As to combs, those which have lost teeth are the best, as they tear out hairs by the doiens. Rubber combs have au ad vantage in making the hair electric when in that condition it often falls out by the handful. Singeing the hair causes it to fall out aho. The use of curling paper la alo advisable. The principal thiug is to avoid allowing tho hair to rest. Baldness soon results. The use of hairpins U uUo a good thing. The hairpins keep the hair drawn and In jure It In the same way a doe. plaiting. Dr. Alex Wlncklerln lllustnte Welt. ' Full In Town Jfi't-tliic.

A Whale Caught Napping. "Oh, yes; I know this is the season for fish stories, but what I am telling you is n fact, vouched for by all hands," indignant ly remartled Ship Chandler John Iteece, in reply to some incredulous smiles upon the part of his auditors. Mr. Hecce, as is his custom of an afternoon when the cares of business permit, had been regaling the habitues of his captains' rooms with some of bis racy sea stories, and the talk hail turnod on whaling. "Talking of whales," ho suddenly ex claimed, "when my friend, Captain Pwirn, now commanding the steamship Circas sian Prince, had charge of the Ocean Spray, ho met with an extraordinary adventure. The vessel in question was on her way to l.isbou, and while crowing the Hay of Uis cay one night she brought up with a most tremendous shock.

The lookout man said that the blood spurted up like a fountain, and as he was standing just by the weather cathead lio got the full bent-lit of it. When the Ocean Spray was docked it was discovered that seven or eight sheets of copper had leen torn oir the stem. , The whale was proba bly asleep at the time.

First Hn Lost u I.f-t;, Then Itn Lost the Other, Then nn Arm An Often as He Married n Wife She Wa Killed Now AU His RrlatlTes Are lond. Just as day was ilauning WlHIam F. Parkes, who is nearly seventy years old, or fhat portion of him which still lives was found by Henry Murphy, a grave digger, lying unconscious upon Parkes' own grave hi a remote part of Calvary cemetery. With the help of a ph tcian he was re vived after an hour's hard work. The story of Mr. Parkes' lifo and his queer mania is indeed a remarkable and in teresting one. Half of him is dead nnd buried, but in the rosewood roflin which he purchased himself there is still room enough for the rest of him when life passes away. Mr. Parkes was Imrn in a suburb of De troit a little less than seventy years ago. Ills father was well to do. When but twenty years old he married Bessie Woodruff, whom lie had known since infancy. This was but the com mencement of his matrimonial career. Mr. Parkes lost his liit wife a year after he married her, and shortly after her death lie met with his first accident. While rid ing a half broken colt one day the horse suddenly shied and threw him to the ground, breaking his left leg. The surgeon who was called to attend him set the leg wrong, and it was necessary to break it again. The operation was not a success, and blood poisoning set in. After a lengthy consultation the physi cians decided to cut the leg entirely off. The doctors wanted to take the pieces of the leg to dissect, but young Parkes Insist ed that they should be buried. .After much arguing his wish was gratilled, his leg be ing buried in a neighboring cemetery. ' When Parkes finally recovered he mar ried his dead wife's sister, who hail nursed him during his long illness. .Mr. Parkes decided to go to Saratoga Springs for his health and tako his young bride with bun. He was never to re.-ie'i the place. When half way to his destination the sleeping car that carried him and his wife jumped the track, and a disastrous wreck occurred. Mr. Parkes' remaining leg was crushed ami mangled, and be was taken from the wreck unconscious. Clasped tightly in his arms was his young bride, but she was dead. Young Parkes' father was hastily noti fied, and he insisted that his son should bo brought home. For many long hours the best surgeons that could e procured labored to save his remaining leg. At the end they were com pelled to amputate the leg close to tho Ixxly. The grave was opened and the leg buried with the other, leaving Mr. Parkes a man without legs. He was now almost entirely helpless, anil for a year he Remained in bis father's house, almost without a hope and longing for death. Summer came and a unique wheel chair was made for Mr. Parkes, aud he propelled himself for short distances about the neighborhood. Among the hoarders at an adjoining farm was Miss Bessie White. She was a consumptive and had but oue arm, that incmlcr having been crushed by a fall. Her father was wealthy aud she had con siderable money in her own right. Young Parkes met her. They both were unfortu nate and their feelings were akin. Three weeks afterward they were married by the village parson. Parkes' life seemed to brighten, and for two years the brightest of his life he lived with his wife in Detroit. Then her fAtal disease asserted itself, and after n lin gering illness of three mouths she died. She left him SJO.UOO and a little baby girl. Parkes went back to his father's house sad and entirely dejected. He hired a nurse for his baby ami determined to de vote tho remainder of Ins life to her wel fare. The nurse, a widow named Mrs. Maria Lawler, was still wiling and handsome. Parkes fell in lo ewitli lieraiid soon asked her to become his wile. She refused, but for six mouths lie fought his suit with such persistence that be conquered, and they were married by n Catholic priest, Mrs. Lawler having been brought up in that de nomination. Mr. Parkes bought a n.-at little cottage near his father's farm ami in it he in stalled his wife and child. A few months afterward his rather became very ill, and young Parkes lemaiiied constantly beside his bed. One night when be was watching his dy ing father, a servant u nom he had hired came home to his cottage intoxicated, up set a kerosene lamp in his room and set the house afire. Mrs. Parkes and the baby ueru sleeping soundly, and before assist ance arrived they were both smothered to death. Just as the sad news was brought to Mr. Parkes, w In. i-at nt his father's bed side, his aged pat-ciiij.ii.scd himself, uttered a few iucoheient words, and fell back dead. Parkes' father and his wife and child were buried on the same dny It was a sad day for Parkes. After the graven Intel been covered and the lost sad words ssjkeu Parkes was placed in a carriage to be taken to a now utterly cheerless home. As the carriage was crossing some railroad tracks an en gine came screeching along, the horses be came mad with fright, and despite the ef forts of the driver they dashed down the loud ut neadloiig speed Parkes was with in utterly helpless .Suddenly the carriage collided with a tree, smashing the vehicle, instantly killing the driver and throwing Parkes out, breaking his left arm in two places and crushing it. lie was carried home unconscious, nnd when he was himself again the doctors bad amputated the arm close to the shoulder. It was buried with the other portions of Mr. Parkes. Fur many years he remained In his mother's house, passing the time the best he could. Ills mother died, and shortly, afterward he sold the farm and came to .St. iJii is. He iMiiight the little cottage he now ou'iih and determined to pasa the re mainder of hl life there.
