The Beason Men Ixe Their Hair is B
eanse Thejr Think So Much.
Here is something for the advanced
woman to ponder over. I was talking
with a thinking gentleman recently
about the prevalence of baldness among
the men of to-day.
"The decrease of hair is an evidence of
the increase of intellectuality, " he said.
"I went to the trouble once of looking
np the heads of Criminals who came be
fore the courts for one month. Every
man who was in custody for murder,
burglary, wife-beating, petty larceny,
and similar crimes (which are almost al
ways Che result of ignorance) were men
with heads of thick, coarse hair. One
bank forger was bald.
He said ha had . taken, pains to look
among the gangs of street laborers in
search of bald heads, but found not more
than one among one hundred.
"In several instances," he continued,
"I have made; it in my way to get into
conversation with Uie bald pr thin -haired
laborer.' and in every identical case I
have found him a man who possessed
more intelligence than hi position would
indicate ; a man who had. met with .mis
fortune and fallen to the position of a
day laborer, not one who was bora to it "
The gentleman went on to say that
from this inspection of the heads of la
borers he had gone into Delmonico'a at
the hour when the leading business men
of the city predominate there, and has
counted four baldheads m every group
f five men. j
- The man who thinks deeply and pon
ders seriously over the problems of life,
the man whose brains enter into his la
bor, no matter what that labor may be,
is the man who is inclined to lose his
hair. If he does not his children will
Hairiness belongs to strong animal life,
tnd intellectuality is opposed to it
Women keep their hair to a greater
degree than men because they are less
involved in the intellectual warfare of
business and political life. Once let a
woman stand on the same basis with
man in all respects, and she, too, will
lose her hair. 1
" Of course. Said the gentleman in con
clusion, "there: iare many instances of
very intellectual men who possess heavy
heads of hair ;; that .is, where the vital
aaiuial forces of the body are sufficiently
great to resist the seal ping-like progress
of mentality. But the son of that man
will, ks a rule,: have vry little hair. The
higher racesof inett will eventually be
hairless, and hairy tnen will be classed
among the lower? order of humanity.
Woman will retain her hair just in the
degree that she., retains her dependence
upen man. " .

How to Beautify a Waxed "loor.
Wax floors affords so much better an
effect than those that are given a hard
oil finish that the labor of keeping them
in condition should not be allowed to
weigh against their adoption. Whilst
re polishing with weighted brushes, pre
viously sprinkling on the, surface white
wax dissolved in alcohol, not only are
scratches erased, but the hue is steadily
improved, obtaining in the, end a , most
mirror -like finish. The practiee of master
house painters in waxing floors varies
considerably. An excellent method is
to apply to the floor a thin coat of wax
and shellac, and, after a slight rubbing,
let it stand to harden ; then to give it a
coating of more i wax, rubbing up to a
polish. This will render a floor beauti
ful, even without rugs, and it can be both
danced and walked on.

DE. NEWELL'S PERIL
It was late in the evening when the
summons reached Dr.: Newell to attend a
patient ten miles from the little frontier
settlement of Osceola, where his office
was located. !
A wood-chopper had met with an ac
cident felled a tree on his leg, and ev
ery moment's delay put his life in jeop
ardy. The messenger had ridden liard,
and having delivered his summons re
turned immediately, not waiting for Dr.
Newell to come in from the round of
calls he was making. :
He had been go ne two full hours when
Newell threw himself into his arm-chair
before Uie blazing wood nre and pre
pared to make himself comfortable for
the evening. He was in just that con
tented frame of mine Which is induced
by a good cu of tea and warm fire after
one has buffeted the cold and dtsagree
ableness of a November hail -storm; and
it was in no ery pleasant humor that he
received the intelligence, communicated
by the landladv, that "old Steve Brow-
nell had got a tree on him and was want
ing the doctor at once at Windy Gulch. "
Newell was a handsome fellow, but he
looked undeniably crois over the pros
pect For once' he had a mind to con
sult his own comfort before tliat of old
Steve. But no, he said to himself as
soon as lie thought about it, he had no
bnsiness to hang out a shingle advertis
ing his profession unless he intended to
obev the calls made on him.
It was a matter of wonder to every
body who had wit enough to wronder
about anything, what ever sent a man
of Dr. Newell's fine taste and cultivation
to such a wild, uncivilized region as Os
ceola. And among all his friends and
acquaintances no one ever suspected the
secret, which can be told in a very few
words
Isabel Houghton, a lovely Boston belle,
after flirting with Dr. Newell for two
whole years, suddenly married old Job
Sanders for his money.; an-1 Newell,
driven wild by her perfidy, vacillated
for a week between hanging and shoot
ing himself. Finally iie decided to do
neither, but, packing up his traps, he
emigrated to the western wilderness, and
in the life of toil and adventure which
he led his cure was effected. ,
By the time he had been six montlis in
Osceola he could eat a "square meal" of
bread and buffalo meat, and had so far
forgotten his passion for Isabel that he .
could think of her frizzled yellow hair
and all, and whistle a tune at the same
time.
Dr. Newell put away the prospect of
an evening of comfort and leisure which
he had been indulging and got into his
heavy overcoat and furred leggings again.
Lightfoot was taken out of the stable,
where he had been munching his corn,
saddled in haste, and the doctor, leaping
; Dn his back, left Osceola behind. !
The night was rainy and dark, though
there was a moon a couple weeks old,
and the path was none of the pleasantest
even in the daytime, when the sun shone
ind the bird sang in the trees.
The first five miles of the way there
was a rough wheel track, as far as Larn
ed's mills ; after that only a bridle track, -and
that led through the primeval forest,
and there was no other means of deter
mining the right direction than tne
"blazed" trees. I
' The doctor rode on in. no very genial
mood, and reached the mills just as the
family there were closing up for the
night They gave him a cup of hot cof
fee and a pocket lantern, for, as old Mr.
Lamed remarked :
"He might have to look at the trees to
find his way, and it would take a right
smart pair of eyes to tell whether a tree,
was blazed or not such a dark night
. A couple of miles were safely passed
over after leaving the mills, and the doc
tor. congratulating, himself - on the
fact, forwird beasts were jD.umeraus in
the forest bears, wolves, and that great
terror of American forests, the cata
mount He was now within three miles
of Windy Gulch, and: when the next
half : mile was over the dreariest partij
of
the way would have been traversed.
Suddenly Lightfoot stopped, quiver ihg
in every limb, and, with his slender ears
pricked forward -until they almost met
and his nostrils dilated, with' fear, : he
stood like a rock, and no persuasion of
his. master could ,. induce him to life a
hoof. ! :
' Surprised and vexed at this eitraor-
the part of his hith-
erto tractable beast, Dr. Newell applied -
Whip and spur,, but to no purpose. Light
foot had evidently made no his equinine
niindandiwas r disposed to change it
At hut, finding hi i exertions to induce
the horse to go of no avaiL the doctor
dismounted and took a few sterxt for
ward. ' But he was brought to a sudden
halt hy the vision of two balls of fire,
from what
not half a dozen paces from him. set
darkly in the background of a low-
branching evergeen. He knew in a mo
ment what was before him. The balls
of fire were the eyes of a catamount
and the animal was lying on the branch
of the tree getting itself readv for
spring. He could hear the fierce tail
beating the dry bark of the tree could
almost feel the fetid breath hot on the
air.
To attempt flight he knew would be
madness, for the catamount has; been
known to jump thirty feet at a - bound.
and before he could hope to reach and
mount his horse the brute would be upon
him.
Even while the thought flitted through
his mind the creature uttered a sharp
growl, and almost simultaneously the
doctor was crushed to the earth by its
ponderous weight He felt a sharp.
stinging pain in his shoulder, and knew
that the animal s claws fastened there.
There was no hope I the next mo
ment probably would seal his fate.' He
had no weapon of any kind about 1 him.
He was helpless and hopeless, and yet it
was so hard to die thus.
Suddenly there flashed across his mind
a wild idea. In his breast pocket he had
a bottle of chloroform which- he had
taken along, thinking perhaps it might
be needed if old Steve s case should prove
as serious as represented. Wuick as
thought with the arm which was free
to move, he drew forth the bottle, un
corked it, and hurled the contents full
in the face of the wild beast i
For a second the sharp claws dug into
his shoulder to the bone, and then, utter
mg a cry which was almost human in
its distress, the beast relaxed his hold,
rolled overe on the ground, and lay there
motionless.
With a great effort of the will, for Dr.
Newell was in some degree affected by
the dru&r, he managed to reach his horse
and get into the saddle. And Lightfoot,
as if realizing that the danger was over,
hurried off of his own accord at his best
pace and soon carried his master to the
little knot of woodcutters' huts which
formed the settlement of Windy Gulch.
And Dr. Newell, completely exhausted
and bleeding profusely from the wound
in his shoulder, fell senseless into the
arms of the man who came out to receive
him.
Poor old Steve was dead and beyond
the need of surgical aid, and for a time
it seemed that Dr. Newell was in a fair
way to follow him. 1
His injuries were very severe, and for
many days he lay in the hut of PierrB
Dura!, taking little note of what passed
around him.
Louise nursed him Louise, the old
man's daughter and of course you have
guessed that Louise was young and beau
tiful, and that the doctor loved her.
And you have guessed right
The Duvals were French and had been
driven from their country by some po
litical difficulties, about which Dr. New
ell, as an American citizen, cared noth
ing. How strange it is that we Amer
icans, who are so touchy on our own po
litical opinions that we can scarcely be
lieve a man a Christian if bis political
creed differs from ours, care so little
about the politics of other nations, j
And, if Louise Duval had been a Hu
guenot or a Hottentot, it would not have
clianged the doctor's regard.
They were married in the hut at Windy
Gulch, and during the ceremony they
stood on the skin of the catamount,
which some of the wood-choppers had
found and dispatched before it reco cred
from the effects of the chloroform. !
Dr. Newell gave up his practice inps
ceoia and went east with his wife and
her father. j
Perhaps he was glad to show Mrs. Isa
bel Sanders that she had not quite broken
his heart And now in one of our east- '
ern cities the rival belles among the
married women are Mrs. Job Sanders
and Mrs. Dr. NewelL And it is but jus
tice to remark that the brilliant brunette
face of the French beauty almost inva
riably bears away the pal 111 from Isabel

A Duel With Potatoes.
"This seems to be a year of duels, " said
Dr. Morrison of the First Methodist
church to an Atlanta Journal reporter,
"but 1 notice there are far more duels
than blood, it reminds me 01 a rainous
duel fought in Kentucky in 1848. )
"Bill Bowman was a noted preacher
who lived near Millersburg. He was a
typical Kentuckian, tall, angular, ) and
muscular. Like Sam' Jones, he always
said what he thought In the midst of
a revival meeting a well-known despe
rado came into the church and began
making a disturbance. With eyes flash
ing with indignation Bill Bowman arose
and in a ringing voice publicly reproved
the desperado, who at once retired from
the church. . - j
"The next morning the deeper. ido pent
a challenge to Bowman to fnrht him a
duel. Bowman accepted the ciiallenge,
and there was no four-column newspaper,
correspondence, no railroad trips to an
adjoining state, nothing but two little
notes one a challenge and the other an
acceptance and then all was readyj for.
the fight The town was terribly ex
cited, for such a thing as a preacher
fighting a duel had never been heard 'of
f before. j
Old Bill Bowman being the chal-
' lenged man had the choice of weapons.
He selected a half -bushel of Irish pota
toes as big as his fist for each man, and
stipulated that his opponent muot stand
fifteen paces distant, and only one tuber
at a time to be taken from the measure.
The town was wild with delight, for
everybody knew that Bill Bowman could
throw, with bjs long, muscular arms, as
straight and almost as swift as a rifle
could send a bullet singing toward the
target. :
The desperado was furious at being
thus freshJx insulted and made an indig
nant protect against Birch a fight, but Bill
cowman insisted tnat he was the chal- il
lenged man and had a light to choose ;
his own weapons, and threatened to de-j
n ounce the desperado as a coward if he!
failed to come to time. As there was no
way out of the box but to fight the des
perado finally . consented to face - the
preacher.
"The fight took place on the out.-k'rts
of the town. Everybody in MillersLurg
was present to see the fun. The seconds
arranged the two in en in position, by the
side of each being a half-bushel measure
filled with large Irish potatoes as hard as
a brick. , '
"Bill Bowman threw the first potato.
It struck his opponent a central shot,
and flew into a thousand pieces. A yell
of delight went up from the crowd,
which rattled the desperado, and his po
tato flew wide of the tall, bony preacher.
"Bill Bowman watched his chance,
and every time his opponent stooped for
a potato another hit him in the side,
leaving a wet spot on his clothes. Old
Bill hit the desperado about five times,
and then the sixth potato struck him in
the short ribs, knocking the wind com
pletely out of him And doubling him up
on the grass.
"The people were almost crazy with
laughter, but Bill Bowman looked as
sober as if had just finished preaching a
funeral sermon. : The desperado was
taken home and put to bed, 'and there he
staid for more than a week before he re
covered from the effects of his Irish po
tato duet
"The old men in Millersburg still talk
about that celebrated duel, but it was
tne means 01 brea-ang up dueling in
that section. "
