Diarrhea and Digestive Troubles.
The connection between teething and
diarrhea has been considered until of
recent years as beyond 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
excitement and mental anxiety produce
like results. But actually, the more the
cases are examined the less certain is
the relation of the bowel trouble to the
supixjsed cause. Here again develop
ments in the digestive organs may have
an influence, and the effect of heat, either
directly npon the nervous system of the
child or by injuring food, is shown by
the prevalence of these diseases in sun
nier. Br. Henry D. Chapin in Baby

"I acconnt for mnch baldness among

do not require them either to indulge in
taurines anxieties or undergo business
disappointments? Thus wo see tho easy
poing man about town, not yet in his
prime as to years, with no haunting
thought of tomorrow, yet as bald as his
frrandfather was at seventy. We see the

Irofessor Eaton, an English Fcientific
person who has made investigation on
tne subject a specially for years, does not

cause of baldness is no nearer discovery

"But whether I am right or wrong in

and that i-? when a man is once bald he
is always bald, unless his hair has fallen

An elephant's digestive functions are

ih elephant feeds heartily, but waste

forest trees which it likes for their bark

other trees and throw away a large por

Fifty Kinds of lllectric r'ilies.
According to the statements of the
English naturalist. Professor Stirling,
there are in existence today upward of
fifty sjiecics of fishes having more or less
specialized organs, the function of which
is the generation of electric discharges.
The fishes differ widely, sometimes
strikingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc
casionally even to different orders of tho
"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 possession of or
gans for electric generation.
The well known "electric rays." for
example, of which Nicholson mentions
three and Ounther 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 areas and warm waters.

"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 be does nse is
'You know,' such as 'I'm going up to
London, you know, to get me new
trousers, you know.
"This may be 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
