Senator | Coke, of Texas, is one of the baidest | men in the Senate. There is a vast expanse of “forehead” extending away over the top of his head and down in the rear s0 far that there is only a fringe of gray bair running round from one ear to the other. Indeed, the fringe may be said to run clear round, for it is heavier in front, where there is a bunch of white beard. Cameron, of Winconsin, is quite as destitute of capillary covering as those mentioned. His rather small head and retreating forhead fairly glistened in in their nakedness, while on his face, in marked contrast, is a | fall growth of snowy white beard. Seoator Harris, of Tennessee, is an- other bald one, He has a peculiar shaped head, very wide at the back and narrow in front. i The fringe of | hair running around the vast expanse baldoess is white as the driven Latham and Sawyer are also baldheads but the other Senators are fairly well supplied with head cover ng.
