"I account for mnch baldness among

do not require them either to indulge in

prime as to years, with no haunting
thought of tomorrow, yet as bald as his

According to the statements of the

Woman there are in existence today nnward of

: is the generation of electric discharges.
j.ne nsnes oilier widely, sometimes
strikingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc
casionally even to different orders of the
"Pisces." In structure they closely re
semble the other species of the genera
to which they severally belong, differ
ing from them, with an occasional ex
ception, mainly in the possesion of or
gans for electric generation.
The well known "electric rays," for
example, of which Nicholson mentions
three and Gunther six, are the most
prominent. These rays are found in the
Atlantic and Indian oceans and the
Mediterranean sea, and are seen in the
English channel, or even farther north;
while other electric fishes are still more
cosmopolitan, though most of them in
habit limited are:ts and warm waters.

How an Elephant Eats.
An elepltant's digestive functions are
very rapid, and the animal therefore
equires daily a large amount of fodder
COO pounds at least. In its wild state
;ne elephant feeds heartily, but waste-
'ully. It is careful in selecting the few
forest trees which it likes for their bark
Jr foliage. But it will tear down
1. . t i m j .,
.iraucues ana leave nan or tuem un
touched. It will strip off the bark from
other trees and throw away a large por
tion.
As it 13 a nocturnal animal, it selects
its trees by the senses of touch and
smell. Its sense of smell is 60 delicate
that a wild elephant can scent an enemy
at a distance of 1.000 yards, and the
nerves of its trunk are 60 sensitive
that the smallest substance can bo dis
covered and picked up by its tiny pro
boscis. An elephant's palate is very delicate,
and the animal is whimsical in selecting
or rejecting morsels of food. Youth's
Companion.
Diarrhea and Digestive Troubles.
The connection between teething and
diarrhea has been considered until of
recent years as leyond question.' But
even this is very doubtful. For our
selves, we should have no difficulty the
oretically in supposing that painful teeth
ing might upset the digestion, just as in
nervous older children and adults we see I
excitement and mental anxiety produce
like results. But actually, the more the
cases are examined the less certain is
the relation of the lowel trouble to the
supposed cause. Here again develop
ments in the digestive organs may have
an influence, and the effect of heat, either
directly upon the nervous system of the
child or by injuring food, is shown by
the prevalence of these diseases in sum
mer. Dr. Henry D. Chapin in Babyhood.
A Phrase That Is Not English.
"1 will give a prize of $100 to anv one
who can prove that the expression 'don't
you know,' or, as it is often rendered,
'doncherknow, was ever used in Eng
land by a real Englishman." declared a
person of the British persuasion the other
day.
"The phrase had its origin in Philadel
phia, where it is much in vogue, because
certain dudes there believe it is English.
No Englishman ever says 'Don't you
know. The expression he does nse is
You know,' such as Tm going up to
London, you know, to cret me new
trousers, yoa know.'
"This maybe a startler for certain
young men about town, who by dint of
great practice are able to interject
doncherknow' at about every ten words
in their conversation. I'm sorry to hurt
their feelings." New York Herald.
