tl Hi jfrSSimmmmmaii .: ffce Cbmi That Froduee Baldness la tka Average Kan. Baldness is produced by a failure of normal nutrition in. the papilla at the base of each hair follicle. Imperfect work being1 done in the capillaries, which are here richly distributed, the cells which constitute .a hair-shaft are not formed in their due proportion, the old shaft thus feebly sustained becomes loose and.d7op;away, Reaving nothing in its place. This failure of nutrition may have a sudden, cause, of which the effect will be but temporary. For in stance, an attack of typhoid fever often leaves tie papillae of the scalp so much enfeebled that rapid baldness ensues. The. papillserrhowever; still retaiiiftheir , vitality, .arid, as the system .regains t it strength, they quicHyrecovef their'jjo- " tentiality, and the hair comes again, perhaps thicker than before. In the same manner certain cutaneous affeo tions.may cause the. hair, Jto fall by. an, action on the papilla) which .is' but temporary; in such cases recovery, per haps with assistance, perhaps without it, is possible. In the great majority of instances, however, where the head is bald the failure of nutrition of each papilla has come on so gradually, and has continued so long that the papilla no longer exists; it has passed away by atrophy; its capillaries have become obliterated, and even the follicle no longer constitutes a i depression-in .the cutis, and" the scalp has the smboth'and shining appearance, which we so well recognize. It is casy"thereforo, to see that in sucb arpondition as this no re newed grpwthuqft&e.hairistote pected, for the anatomical struoture which caused its development and .con tinued it has ceased to existrand-the-countless. remedies which are so freely advertised as being able to rejuvenate -bald heads' -are utterly of -no avaiL They served only to illustrate the greed . and the impudence of the inventors, as well as the credulity of the purchasers. But such is the desire to escape the appearance of "growing old" that no doubt they will hold their ground for all time to come. But now arises the question, can not the application of the various agents to the scalp, at the time when the hair is beginning to lose its hold, be of ser vice in stimulating the follicles and papillae into renewed and permanent vigor? To this question it is not pos. Bible, on theoretical grounds, to say no absolutely; but in practical fact that is the onty true answer to give in the vast majority of cases. The cause of the falling of the hair has been already stated, and safe reasoning tells us that our only hope can be in that which can restore the failing vitality, and we well know-that we should not.expcct to se cure this onrany other part of the skin by filthy oils 'and washes. PrbpK cleansing of the scalp is as important as it is of all other parts; nothing else should be applied to it but common, sense. There can be litt question but the continued close covering of the. head with hats and caps is one very constant cause of baldness. Women, in our own communities, seldom lose their hair, except from sud den causes; and among those nations where the head is habitually left bare or but slightly covered, baldness is prac tically unknown. At the same time the beard, which is of the same class of hair as' that of the scalp, but which is always uncovered, does not fail with age. A reform in our style of head gear is verv desirable, but it is not at ail iiKeiy to oe accompiisncu. xat , suggestion was some time ago made that bald heads might perhaps be coy ettd anew with hair by "skin grafting:"' No doubt such bits might be attachedf but the whole matter is merely a wild fancy, without practical Taluc. r We can make "skin grafts" take hold, but it is only where the skin is destroyed and the surface raw and exposed, com monly rendered so by disease. Assuming that 'some person would consent to have his scalp 'peeled away in preparation for the operation, and then assuming: that some other person could be found who would consent to appropriate his own scalp to cutting out the proper bits for the work, yet then the very "best possible success must be extremely imperfect The denuded surface would heal so rapidly between the "grafts" that no extension oh their part could take place, and a head with small specks of hair here and there would, be the only attainable result "Crazypatchwork" is fashionable, but perhaps not many would care to wear it in that way. The result of all seems ' to be that when "baldness has come slowly and naturally, it has come to stay and our only wisdonris to be con tent Springfield (Mass.) Republi can. A WONDERFUL REGION.

"A short man with a" round face the color of -a campaign-badge, and a nose which glistened and shone as if it had been Tarnished, staggered into a Broad way har-room, one day last week, and slouched over to -the lunch-counter, where the well-dressed customers readily made all the space for him that he desired. After satisfying an appe tite that was comprehensive enough to jcoveran entire fashionable boaroing- house, he sauntrral oyer to the bar. "Gimme a little brandy (hie) and a' touch of ginger-ale," he remarked to the bar-keeper. "Forty cents, please," responded that individual.

Aa English Town All or Whose Inhabit ) sbU Catch Fish for a Urla-. 1 The whole population of Leigh, Eng., jabout seventeen hundred, is chiefly en gaged in shrimping, and their pros perity varies with the season and the .weather. Fishing is chiefly carried on with small trawls, and beside shrimps, which are sometimes taken in immense quantities, dabs, plaice, and even soles, are caught The "take" of shrimps varies within wide limits, a boat some times taking a hundred gallons in a single day or night, but forty gallons is considered a good haul, and, of course, very often, the work is not .even remunerative. But the market price of shrimps at Billingsgate is, if possible, of more importance to the Leigh fisher men than'the'amount of the take, and this will be believed when we add that it fluctuates between four shillings as a maximum and one shilling as a mini mum .price" per gallon. The shrimps are boiled on board boat and then Eicked over, the brown fetching a much igher price than the red. They are sent up to London at night by goods trains, and sometimes the freight amounts to as much as -two thousand gallons. The Leigh shrimping fleet now consists of about a hundred boats, which are mostly small. The fishery is a very ancient one. In Roman times there was certainly a colony here, and when i cliff fell some years since, a large number of Soman coins were found.' The place was of sufficient importance to be mentioned 'in "Domesday Book," and it was of some account as a nursery 01 sauors in the reign of Edward JL m The shrimp trade fluctuates greatly accord ing to the weather. In a stormy season the take is very small, and when too fine the men are often out for .days without earning enough to pay jex penses. Windy, -but not "dirty," weather is the best, and, as we have al ready pointed out, sometimes a single boat will make twenty pounds in a day, ibut is an exceptional sum. Perhaps five pounds to ten pounds may be taken as the average earnings per boat' in favorable weather. The fishermen are hardy and honest sailors, and, Leigh has for centuries sent numbers'o'f men to the navy and mercantile marine. CasscWs Magazine.

To see "Boots" Tan Stcenburg, as he is called, with unkempt hair flying in the wind and his unshaven face decked in a suit of red, white and blue, with long streamers of all colors at tached to his clothing, and a weather beaten straw hat decked with, ribbons, and. asking a penny of each, oae he meets, as he wanders from place to place in the Hudson Valley, one would not think that a tender passion ever thrilled his' rough- breast a 'maiden's glance had ever opened his sigh-valves, or drew forth one impassioned' utter ance of love. - -And yet it was no less a personage than .the nightingale of song, Jenny land, who for a while listened to the man's avowals of undying affection only to tell him in the end that he loved in vain, and made him a mental wreck, his life a dreary waste. A gentleman who knows ofthe inci dent related the following to a Newt Prtu reporter: "Boots, ' as he is called, was an attractive young man, the idolized son of Ulster9 County par ents, who never stinted him with money. He chanced to be in New York when Jenny Lind created a furore in the musical world, and went to hear her. He was smitten with her charms, sought an introduction, fell madly in love, and night after night sat in front of the footlights to applaud the song stress. He poured costly presents into her lap, and the story goes that thirty thousand dollars would not cover the cost of them. There is no doubt that his suit was encouraged; but she dis carded him. He followed the song stress from place to place;in'a vain en deavor to renew his suit, until his rea son was partially 'destroyed. Since ,then he has lived the life of a wild man in the woods, near Kingston, occasion ally making a trip up the Hudson:to col lect funds, to start a bank. His collec tions .in ali these years have been large, but what hedoes with the money no body knows or can ascertain. 'Some' years ago I called at his place f and found an old diary, and in it' were words something like these: "Jenny -may not be called beautiful, but I loved to look upon her face, and when she appeared upon the stage I stood until the' great storm of applause had subsided. I was jealous, because she seemed to desire everyone to have .the, pleasure of seeing her. But then I suppose she thought the people1 had paid to see her, and didn't want any one to be cheated. Her turning her head first to the left and then to the right was but the artless manifestation of a simple and beautiful character.' On another leaf of the diary were these words:' "And that song-bird sang of a summer coming night Was it "true?" Beneath theso words were: "Diamond ornaments and a point lace fan com- Eleted her royal costume." "Boots" as always been perfectly harmless, and the boys in Kingston and other places never jeer him as he makes his rounds. This queer .mortal visits the city twice a year to deliver patriotic speeches and collect money. His usual speaking places are the court house steps and the opera house step-' ting block. His stereotyped speech, amiliar to many, goes something like this: "Three cheers for George Wash ington and the great American eagle, and the goose hangs high!" He invari ably closes his speech with a song so disconnected that the words can not be caught It is stated that he col lected between thirty and forty dollars on his last trip here. Notwithstanding his nonsensical talk and unintelligible songs ho is always warmly greeted by the boys. Poughkeepsie News-Press. A BLIND MAN'S WALK. He Demonstrates That by Sound He Caa Beach Any Part of the City. Upon the invitation of Mr. Arthur Sardino, three gentlemen last night went to No. 43 St Mark's place to see Mr. Julius Stern, a blind man, illus trate the efficiency of the imagination and the power of courage and con fidence in fulfilling the functions of the eyes. When the three gentlemen walked up the brown stone stoop lead ing to the residence, they met a delicately-built young man attired in a dark suit and wearing a light over coat standing on the top step. The young man was carelessly knocking the ashes from his cigar, and with his deep-sunken brown eyes regarding the passers-by. Although the young man was blind, he said that he enjoyed most of the pleasures of life and managed to o wherever he desired without a guide; ooking from the stoop he said: "At present walking toward Third avenue, 13 a heavily built man, followed by a girl, who is hurrying along, and then comes another man. The last man has a cane and is walking leisurely." The Ecrsonages described were exactly as ehad said. "Often," continued the young man, "from frequent journey mgs I have noticed peculiar phases of the city streets. For instance, I know the pavement rises at Lispenard street and at Franklin, near West Broadway, it is rough and uneven. I can feel in sensibly when there is any object near me and twist aside without touching it "But," he continued, "I promised to walk to-night from here to the Sinclair House to demonstrate the powers of a blind man without a cane, and, now;" carelessly rubbing his fingers over his uncrystalled watch, "it is 8:31 and I will start" Thereupon 'the young man walked down the steps and-went on his way. un one occasion the bund man walked close to an iron railing and came face to face with a very stout man who persisted in forging straight ahead, but the blind man hugged the railing and the stout man, after gazing at him for a second, walked by with a muttered curse. v When Mr. Stern came to Third Avenue he paused and looked around confusedly for a second, and then crossed with perfect confidence and continued toward Broadway. He walked directly to one of the pillars on the Eighth Street side of ' Cooper Insti tute supporting the arch, wheeled off within two feet of it, and traveled along on his way. Turning around Broad way, he came in front of the Sinclair House and said: "Now, gentlemen, let's have a drink," and he pulled open one of the hotel doors, crossed the corridor as easily as a habitual guest and was soon on't come here often," Mr. Stern explained, '"although you might think so, but when I open the front doors I listen, catch' the click of the glasses, and go where the noise comes from. I'll take some lemonade and a seltzer." Mr. Stern said; he believed that a blind man .could go to any .part of the city he liked if he possessed a good imagination', confidence, and coarage.r3r.-: World. 1. .' :, In. the. days, of slavery a Kentucky negro claimed that he had seen ears of corn with an "odd "number of rows.

In a city restaurant the other day I came across a peculiar dish.. While studying the menu and experiencing tbe usual difficulty felt by men of vacillating mind in making choice of a plat for luncheon, the proprietor, withJ whom I had a slight acquaintance, came up and said: "Why don't you try our pepper-pot?' ' "What's pepper-pot?" I not unnaturally inquired, and was in formed that it was a West India dish which could be obtained nowhere else in London. That settled the matter, and "pepper-pot" was ordered. It proved to be a savory stew, rather pep pery, as its name denotes, with a peculiar' aromatic flavor. While after ward discussing some celery and Stil ton, the proprietor came up again, and was good enough to enlighten me con cerning the peculiarities of "pepper-, pot" His first statement rather startled me. "Our pepper-pot is only three years old," said he. "Wlien it's kept another year or two it will be bet ter." Mentally regretting that I had not been informed earlier as to theiage1 of the delicacy, I inquired further con cerning this wonderful dish, and gathered the following from the res taurantcur: "I have lived many years' in the West Indies, and while- racking, my brains one day to find some specialty with which this place would always be associated, I ' bethought mc 'of pepper-pot' No one in London had ever heard of or knew how; to make it . The first requisite was a eep''" (I won't guar- snpplv of 'cassareep nfoa lintMnirtor nf tSo 'wrrtWlV'VJTiH after 'some trouble. I found aWestrln- dian produce importer who gotmca supply at half a guinea, per '.bottle. Now cassareep is the juice pressed out of the cassava, and in its raw state is deadly poison. It is the basis, I believe, of the stuff the Carib Indians use to poison their arrows with. But when boiled it is perfectly harmless, and possesses the curious property of pre serving meat for any length of time. In the West. Indies the pepper-pot is always on the go; it is never "entirely, emptied, and the' contents are added to dy by day. Any pieces of cold meat pork is best and fish go into the pot Here, in London, wo don't put fish in, only the best parts of the cold joints.. Our 'pepper-pot' has only -been about three years on the go. It has never been emptied; for aught I know to the contrary, you may have been eating meat a year' or two old to-day. ''Of course there are spices -and sauces put in to rive the stew a flavor, besides the cassareep, which in addition. to'ifsjirej. servaiive ana anusvpui; qusuiutss 11.1a a distinct if slight, flavor of its own." A bottle of this peculiar syrup., .was S reduced for my inspection; it is.of a eepr mahogany color, Jand ;'of the' "con sistency of molasses, much resembling,' in fft Indian soy.
