‘ _ wasan accident in one of
the mines in the gulch, and a lot of
menwere killed. The whole camp
turned out at the funeral—in fact,
the whole campwas greatly touched,
‘ even the gambling houses were
. closed. Among the miners at the fu-
. neral there was one named Melano-
' thonlngby, a. newcomer. It so hap-
_ ported that when the procession
started at this man Ingby was
-' right alongside the head hearse,
which Bill drove. When the pro-
cession moved, Bill began to whistle
as usual. This man Ingby listened
to him for about a minute, appar-
ently very much surprised, and then
he surprised everybody else by shoot-
his William off the box, and when
Bill fell to the ground this man Ing-
-by‘got up and took his place.
“There was an inquest over, Bill,
but Ingby was vindicated by the cor-
oner's jury, and public sentiment
vindicated him too. The fact is
Bill’s peculiarity had come over the
gulchers so gradually that they had
never realized the true nature of it.
But Ingby‘s pistol shot waked ’em
up, and it led toa general demand
‘ on the authorities that the new
hearse driver should boa man that
didn’t whistle.”—-Ncw York Sun.
Facts About Baldness.
It is estimated that at least fifty
men to one woman go bald, which is
perhaps to be accounted for by the
fact that the regular brushing usual-
ly performed by the fair sex before
retiring to rest is very beneficial to
the hair's growth. The constant wet—
ting of the head, common among men
who indulge in a matutinal cold tub,
is stated to be the cause of much bald-
ness among men. Apropos of this
subject, have you noticed what an
apparent epidemic of baldness pre-
s among chcmists? Why is it?
uch study, we believe, is not con—
ducive to the luxuriant head of hair.
But, then, this particular profession
is not the only one where much
learning and burning of the mid—
night oil are necessary!
Medical and law students have both
to work hard at their books to pass
their various examinations, but their
studies do not seem to affect their
hair, whereas quite young chemists
nreto be frequently oncomitered with
heads perfectly innocent of any one
picion of hirsute covering. —« N cw

Why Ilair Turns Gray.
Hundreds of queer theories hnvo
been advanced to account for the
phenomenon of hair turning may in
the genus homo, the latest being this:
i Each hair is a hollow tube filled with
. granules of pigment and air bubbles.
An old age approaches, the pigment
diminishes both in quantity and dual
lity, the air bubbles enlarging and
expanding to take the place formerly
occupied by the coloring matter. The
hair, which is filled with those bulr
bles, turns white for the some rcnson
that the crystals of white sugar up-
‘ pear of that color, the phenomemnl
being due tothe reflection and refrac—
. tion of light. Why hnir sometimes
‘ turns “white in a singlcnight” has
never been explained. True, a mi—
croempic examination of such hairs
shows that the granules of pigment
have either been abolished or forced
' out by the air bubbles, but exactly
how or why is a mystery—«St. Louis
