HOW TO BECOME BALD.
A GERMAN PHYSICIAN GIVES SOME
SARCASTIC ADVICE.
Speaks of Mnr I);incorou Practice

- 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

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

TWO FEET IN TIIE GRAVE
REMARKABLE STORY OF THE LIFE
OF PARKES, OF ST. LOUIS.
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.
