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

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

"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

- "You had belter go to a bank, then,

keeper curtly, as he turned to wait on
another customer.
After waiting a few minutes in thirsty
silence, the short man again renewed
his request.
I tell you," replied the drink-mixer,
annoyed at bis persistence: "you can't
have a drink here unless you pay for it
in advance."
i'Qh, that's it (hie), is it? You
won't trust me for a drink. Well, will
you take (hie) this for collateral?" and
he laid an old-fashioned watch on the
counter whose. color was the shade of
old brass. --'
. ."No, sir, I won't take. that This

A SHRIMPING" VILLAGE.
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.

BOOTS' ROMANCE.
A Keatal Wreck Xaae 80 by Uareamlte
f Ixve for Jeaaj IJad.
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

carelessly rubbing his fingers over his
uncrystalled watch, "it is 8:31 and I will

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

WEST INDIA PEPPER-POT.
A New Relish for the Table -Coxnlac Into
Use.
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.

A bottle of this peculiar syrup., .was
