But the most frightful spec tacle Was Bll Fenton, Dick's young Drother, Who Was standing over the murdered man, staring at him with a strong, fixed gaze, Which even the en- trance of the men falled to divert for a moment, In bis hand Was a large and sharp bread-knife, the ‘Weapon With Which the deed had evidentiy been committed, and bis right sleeve and shirt-front Were covered with blood.

The circumstances of the case were pecu- liar, and in some respects mysterious, and aroused @ great deal of interest and attention.

Jackson read a paper recently before the New York County Medica) Society on baldness and its treatment. He described four varieties of baldness, or alopecia: 1, Alopecia adnata, the con- genital form; 2. A. senilis; 3. A. prematura; 4. A. areata. A. sentlis 1s that form which occurs in Old age, or after the age of forty-five, and fs ofven | ee or accompanied by grayness of the hatr. its cause 1s a gradual hardening of the subcuta- Beous tissues of the scalp and a diminution of loo supply, followed by an obliteration of the hair follicles. It 1s but one expression of tliat general lowering of nutrition incident to adyanc- ing years. When the scalp {s atrophied nothing can be done in the way of treatment, but_ prophy- bo is may do a great deal in postponing those changes. A. prematura of that form of baldness which Occurs before the forty-ffth year. Of this there are two varieties, the idiopathic and the symp. tomatic. The former occurs most commonly between the age of twenty-five and thirty-five, and 1s not due to any antecedent or concomitant dtsease, It differs trom the senile form in occur- Ting at an earlier ag, and in being unaccompanied by other signs of diminished physical vigor, such as logs of teeth, dullness of sight and hearing. The Every one has known of familiesin which the fathers and 3003 have Decome bald ata very early age. Another cause ts Improper or deficient care of the scatp. It isacommon practice for men to souse the head daily in water. Ellingher has noted this habit in 85 fee cent of his cases of baldness. Thinkers end rain Workers are very often bald. Eaton ound, im the audiences attendant upon churches and operas in Boston, that from forty to fifty per cent of the men were bald; while in cheap mu- seums and fare fights the percentage was only 12 to 25. Suff hats may cause baldness by com- pressing the arteries that supply the scalp. Tight and unventilated hats make the sce warm, and cause it to perspire, thus favoring baldness. King says that baldness of the vertex fs due tocompres- sion by suff hats of the arterles which supply ‘that part. The little curt of hatr often observed on the top of the forehead is nourished by arteries which escape pressure, That women do not become bald so often as men ts probably because they preserve the cushion of fat under the scalp longer than men do. They do not wear their hats as much as men; nor are these so close-fitting or made of such impermea- ble material. They also give more attention to the hair, and do not wet the head go often. Of ail these réasons Dr. Jackson regards the preserva- tion of the fat and connective tissue of the scalp, aud the greater care of the scalp, as the most im- portant. ‘The treatment of this variety of baldness is mainly one of prophylaxis and hygiene, In fami- : Is hereditary this should begin at birth and continue through life. Thesculp should be kept clean by an occasional shampoo of soap ‘and Water, borax and water, or some such simple means. ‘This should not be'repeated ofvener than once in two or three weeks, and alter the washing the scalp should be carefully dried and vaseline or ‘Sweet-almond Oil applied, Women should dry the hair by the fire or in the sun, and not dress it until ary. The hair should be thoroughly brushed and combed dally, for fiveor ten minute, with vigor Micient to make the scalp glow. For tis @ brush should have long and moderately Stiff bristles, set in groups wiaely separa- ted from each other. Such a brush will reach the scalp, and brush out the dust. A comb with large, smooth teeth should be used With the brush, to open up the hair to the air. Pomades should not be used, and the daily ‘sousing of the hair discontinued. Women sbould not use bandoline, nor pull Or twist the hair, nor scorch it With curiing-trons, nor smother it under false hair, Easy fitting, light, and ventilated hats should be Worn, and working under hot artificial light should be avoided. Mr. Goninlock, writing on baldness in the Popular Science Monthly, gives 1 as bis opinion that it 1s due principally to the high hat and the hard felt hat, and to any other covering that constricts the biood vessels which nourish the hair bulbs, Few, he says, will escape the evil effects of twenty or thirty years of rigid tight-fitting hats, the destructive process being delayed oly by the length and frequency of re- spite from this tourniquet of fashion. ss An Athlete Tells What to Eat, ‘THE HUMBUGGERY OF RULES ON HEALTH AS APPLIED TO HUMANITY IN GENERAL. From the New York Mail and Express, “It is very peculiar to consider the various sys- tems tbat are published to preserve health and become athletic,” remarked a well-known athlete to a Mail and Express reporter. After a pause the fine specimen of physical manhood continued: “One writer will say don’t drink green tea, another thinks going to bed on a full stomach isthe road to vigor, and I'say that what is food for one per- on is péison for another. It fs the adaptubllity or each constitution to certain hygienic rules. “On, you shouid eat rare meat to grow stout and strong,’ dogmatically asserts one authority. If rare meat is craved by Can pees it will be eastly assimi- lated and digest but to force it does more harm than good. Well-cooked, plain food is always con. sidered healthier than raw stuff. I once suffered from dyspepsia _and made a study of food. After several years 1 found that the following were generally more easy of digestion than anything I ate: Partridge, chicken, turkey, mutton," venison, hare, swéetbread, ‘pheasant, Cee beef-tea, mutton broth, milk, turbot, had. lock, dounders, sole, fresh fish’ generally, roasted oysters, stale bread, Tice, taploca, sago, arrow! asparagus, sea kale, French béans, cauliflower, baked apples, oral grapes, strawberries, Peaches, toast water, black ted, sherry wine, claret, and ale, In a moderate scale of easy diges- tion I placed’ beef, rabbit, duck, young pigeon, Wild Waterfowl, woodcock, waipe, soups, eggs not hard boiled, butter, turtle, cod, pike, trout, raw oF ‘stewed oysters, potatoes, beets, turnips, cabbage, spinach, artichoke, lettuce, celery, apples, apri- cots, currants, raspberries, bread, farinaceous puddings, Jelly, marmaiade, rhubarb plant, cooked. rults, coc coffee, porter.

THE WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER THAT 18 GOING ON IN OUR GREAT CITIES INVESTIGATED AND EXPLAINED. ‘The Sanitary News, in its latest issue, publishes some ‘astounding compsrisons made by Dr. Obarles Smart, U.8.4., between the death-rate from typhoid fever in ‘New Orleans, a city without sewerage, but using pure Tain water for drinking purposes, and in Philadelphiny acity with a sewer system and s contaminated water supply. In brief, it is shown that deaths from this disease in twenty years—in 1866 to 1885—have fallen from sixty-five to sixteen in every 100,000 of popula- tion in New Orleans, while in Philadelphia the average in the ten years ending in 1885 wass fraction over sixty-six per 100,000. The Sanitary News says: “These figures point with an unerring finger to the water supply as the principal medium of communicat- ing this disease.” Alas, upon this subject there can be no doubt. Water has killed more soldiers than bullets’ and it is dealing death to-day. It carries the germs of disease into the system and sustains them after they have lodged there. But the great water-drinking public says: “What shall Ido? Drink beer?” By no means, for this is far worse than water. Beer clogs the system, makes one dilious. and isa greater source of disease than poison- ous water. ‘The only wny by which the poisonous kerms in the water can be killed is by mixing pure spirits with the water. But here comes another difi- culty. Where can pure spirits be obtained? Fortu- nately, that has been demonstrated, and doctors and chemists unhesitatingly ugree that beyond a doubt Dufiy's Malt Whiskey is absolutely pure. It has been before the public for years. It has been tested and analyzed by hundreds of chemists and not one particle of fusil oil has ever been found init. By mixing a ‘small amount of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in a glass of water all disease germs are instantly killed. But the mixture of this pure whiskey with the water not only counteracts and prevents poison. it also adds tone and vigor to the life. Every man and woman re- quires physical help. The philosophy of all medicine isto “assist nature.” Therefore the use of Duffy’ Pure Malt Whiskey in water is both asure preventive of poison and an absolute help to the life, Doctors in- numerable confirm this and scientific proof invariably asserta the sametrath. The English board of exami- ners appointed by the British govirnment reported officially as follows: “Ten per cent of pure whiskey taken at meal time is » most valuable aid to digestion.” Duffy's Malt Whiskey is the only worthy preparation in the market, and has stood the test of time, although surrounded by numerous unworthy imitations. Be- ware of any other bottled whiskey which may be of- fered to you. Duffy's Formula is » positive curs for coughs, colds, and all pulmonayy troubles.
