OwUl ftad »u. H. r. Baldheadedness- The subject that I intend to writ# on is one that kaa been put forth to me time and again.an . never given very iatisfactory an swers. I will try and write a few words on the subject. In regard to the weapons of argument is one that has set the doctors, who only write in disagreement cudgel ling their brains since the days when Es culapius first discovered that Brandreth's Pills would not draw together a broken skull. It is bald headed man I will first consid er. "What produces baldness?'' Men with red headed wives and still redder tampers.a.->»-rt tfcat baldne-- is caus ed by friction on the capital organs caus ed by sleeping in an undersized bedstead. Yet I have inspected the sleeping apart ments of married men subject to premature ' baldness, and I find, as a rule, tnat j i the bedsteads are all considerably longer > tnan the ones that sle«-p in them So the ! short bedstead theory for baldheadedness js thus exploded whatever may be the in ducing cause, we know that baldheaded ness exists and young men who take a pride in their long and flowing lock* are rather timid about getting married. 1 have seen a young man with a head of hair like the Apostle of Aestheticism. Oscar Wilde marry a female angel, who appeared to be but a feather-weight, and after being around with the boysone night after the honeymoon was over, go down town next day withahead as destitute of hair as a billard ball. Yet there are some men and married men, too who adhere to tfce short bedstead theory. Sow as extreme height of fore head denotes intellectually the balheaded man must be pre-eminently intellectual. You have all heard ot the little boy's story of his grandfathers foreheard. He said it commenced at his eyebrows and ex tended to the back of his neck. Tis' this superabundant love of nature that makes the venerable baldheaded gen tleinan take a front orchestra chair when the female minstrels are in town The bald headed man is a student of anatomy, and when the ladies of the ballet appear in spangles and tights, he takes the oppor tunity to study it. There are those evil minded people who say that he comes to win the guileless maidens I eart by throwing her big bouquets with little scented notes in them. But then they are evil minded that think this and imagine the baldheaded men to be the same. While talking of baldheaded men, it re minds me of some of the remedies for ■ baldness. I read of a remedy costing but * a dollar that if you'd rub into the handle of a broom, in less than two days a sheal of straw grew on it. I read ot a young married man that tried a bottle. After three weeks, straw began j to grow instead of hair, and now when bis wife wants to sweep the house, she turns him upsi edowu and uses bim for a broom. e Alter that I came to the conclusion it was • better to hear the evils of baldheadedness than rush to the patient madicine man, (Walker.) r Although enjoying a very extensive ac quaintance among baldheaded men, 1 have yet failed to see a baldheaded woman. I suppose it is because the fair sex belongs to the Whig Party, and if they can't wear their own hair, they can frizz and bang somebody elses, thus proving that women fall heir to more privileges than e men. Yet they alk of woman's rights. Now I ' think when it comes to rights, us poor e able bodied men are left. () If it were not for the interfere; ce of the society for the prevention of cruelty to n blonde haired Chinaman, I could if the Constitution would allow it, torture you with this subject until you grew baldbead ed; So I will perorate by saying, bald headed men arc entirely destitute of hair. C. J. Flick, Pa. When a cold or cough ban been neglect ed for a long time and tubercles have been formed in the lungs, the cure of the suffer er is hopeless. How important it is that these fir*t stages should be watched and the first nymptoms detected and cured with Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. —Rabbit hunting flourishes in Kansas, and from the town of McPherson alone 15- 000 of the animals have been shipped to market since December 1.
