A Combination In Which Woman Ha.
the Beat of Man.
Baldness is a matter of headcear.
The doctors are fairly well agreed
upon mat. juen grow bald more
frequently than women because of
the hats they wear. It is true that
women wear bigger and often heavi
er hats than men, but they attach
them to their hair and not to their
scalps; hence they permit ventila
tion and do not constrict the veins,
while men's hats, with their hard,
tight fitting brims, not only permit
no air w enter, out constrict the
blood vessels all around the head.
Consider, the scalp of man. It is
a thin layer of muscles covered with
thick skin, stretched over a hard,
bony surface. Through this flow
small arteries leading to a network
of capillaries which end m veins.
The skin is full of the follicles or
roots of hairs and of glands which
secrete copious supplies of crease
and perspiration. These hair roots
and glands need a plentiful supply
of blood, and anything that tends
to cut off this supply tends to im
poverish the hair.
The tight band of a hat constricts
all the arteries, but to a much lesser
extent, as these are more deeply
seated and have strong muscular
walls, while the veins are close to
the surface and have no muscle in
their thin walls. The checking of
the flow of blood through the veins
causes it to stagnate m the capil
lanes, to back up, as it were. And
the top of the head is just that part
of the body which the blood finds
most difficult to resist, as it has to
be pumped up higher there than
anywhere else.
Thus there is congestion of ve
nous blood in the scalp. The hat"
also keeps the head hot, another
bad condition. The scalp, again, is
that part of the body which is most
exposed to dirt. A woman's hair
get3 dirty also, but it is so thick
that it protects the scalp from the
dirt. A man's short hair, on the
contrary, catches all the dirt, but

average man, with its grease and
perspiration, is an ideal culture

A Livingstone Memorial.
Per,haps one of the most curious
memorials of Livingstone is that
known as "Name Tree," near the
Victoria falls, on the Zambezi. On
the trunk of this tree Livingstone
cut his initials and the date 1855
on the day of his first visit to the
falls. In his book, giving an ac
count of this, Livingstone says:
"This was the only instance in
which I indulged in this piece of
vanity." , A large notice board has
been placed against the tree by the
authorities giving the information
and adding, "Visitors are requested
to assist in preserving this relic."
One wonders whether the great ex
plorer foresaw the day when parties
of tourists would come by train to
the falls and be able, if they wish,
to continue their journey by rail
into the iar north.

Why the Sea Is Salt
The rivers of all the world pour
their water into the sea sooner or
later. They wash down vast quanti
ties of solid matter, and much mat
ter in solution of which the greater
part is salt.- This may be in such
small amount that it is impercepti
ble in the river. The waters of the
seas are evaporated by the sun, but
none of the salt is taken up into the
clouds. So the water that returns
! to the earth in rain contains no salt,
but by the time it reaches the sea
again, after soaking through the
soil and flowing down the rivers, it
has another load. Consequently the
oceans are receiving salt all the
time and never giving up any of it.
Fourth Finger For Wedding Ring,
The wedding ring as a symbol
dates to far back times, probably
having its origin m the days of Tu
bal Cain. It was at one time cus
tomary for marriage rings to be
worn by both sexes, and this custom
is largely followed on the continent
today. Our ancestors put the ring
on the left hand because they found
it more convenient, and they chose

An Unfortunate Nam.
In some cases abbreviating a name
improves it. In others it doesn't.
For instance, the Tubbses thought
they were doing honor to the father
of his country, as well as to their
firstborn son, whom they named
George Washington Tubbs.
But when he grew up the handle
proved too long, so everybody drop

middle name and called him simply
