Among the com posers (lie percentage of baldness Is id per cent., which is about tho average of people generally. Performers on the piano, violin or other string instru ments retain their hair up to a late period in life. In tho ease of piano play ers especially tiie hirsute growth is ag gressive, and violinists are a close sec ond.

Perform ing on brass instruments, notably tho cornet, Freneli horn, trombone, or tuba, Is "demonstrated" to superinduce bald ness, nnd massive brows that reach around to the back of the neck are so general in the regimental bauds of Eu ropean armies as to have given rise to tiie diagnosis of "trumpet baldness."

LOWLY from the / hte l )a oamo Mies iliraflV Howcott, in oue hnud she carried n J) AVor,c basket, in J other a pack f&y' age of books. ! On the last step f fho found Stephen Armstead with tho small sou of the house perched up on his knee; the - if* tatter's expression I was ecstatic. Arm stead, she noticed, looked a little && "Witness," he said, with a wave of the hand, "the evil consequences of boasting. My young frieud inti mated that I would be uuablo to nar rate the adventures of Jack tho Giant Killer; vauity prompting me, I took up the challenge aud succeeded so ad mirably as a story teller that, be hold, ho cliugcth to mo closer than a brother." "One must pay the penalty for being attractive," she said. "You speak with feeling, I ob serve." Who did not answer, but shrugged her shoulders carelessly, aud went on down tho path to tho garden; he watched her light dross ilitting through tho trees, until tho foliago hid her from view; then ho turned and set manfully to work to rid him self of his admirer. After an extensive outlay of enorgy nud diplomacy, success crowned his efforts, and ho was free to follow where his fancy led. When bo reached tho cosoy nook where Miss Howcott had established herself, ho found her lying back in her chair, staring up into the branches above, but hearing his step, alio turned aud greeted him. "I am glad you have come," she said, though without animation. "I have been trying to improve myself. I don't know why I try to rea l impioving books; the ro fcult is always tho same. "What made you do it?" ho asked in amazement. "Ob, 1 don't know. I heard Mary talking the other night about how people wasted their tiiue and oppor tunities, and as I know I was doing both, I thought I would try and re form. You see, I have even set up a work basket," uud lio pointed to tho dainty silk and straw arrangement on her knee. "It is very pretty," ho said vaguely. "Yes, I know it is. I tried to make it look severe and plain, like Mary's, but it was perfectly hopeless." "Hoavcu forbid," ho exclaimod. "Siio looked at kirn doubtfully. "1 don't believe you liko Mary,"she said. "Even if that were true," ho replied with unwonted humility, "of what const quenco is my Uumblo opinion?'' "Everybody Mko bet," she went on. "She is so correct, BO altogether every thing that the ought to bo; but per haps you want to be original and dif ferent from other people." "Perhaps." "Jack thinks she is immensely clever, and Mr. Stouo seems quite fuseinatcd." "Did he tell you so?"' "No, but," —she broko off, not caring to state that she bad only heard of the hitter's admiration from Mary herself -"out on a can see for one's self," eho liuishe I bravely. ".Really? Then I shall begin to think that I am lacking iu penetration, tor ho doesn't strike me at all asalovo faick swain ; but of course Miss Netlier fon ought to know." "Did I say Miss Netherton knew?" He professed to bo shocked. "I beg your pardon. Of course you did not. I must have been following out a train of thought of my own!" "I hope," she said, slowly, "I do hope you dou't think I am tho kind of girl who likes to hear another one abused, for whilo I don't pretend to bo perfect by any means, I urn not like that." 1 An expression of tenderness came into liis careless face. "Ilest easy," he assuroil her ; "noth ing is further from lny thoughts. Don't you know that I believo you to be generous and womanly, aud that I would never suspect you of anything petty." •'Would you not? I wish I de served your good opinion, but Mary soys—" "'Who cores whot Mary soys?" "Now I am sure you don't like her." "Well, if tho truth must bo told, I don't." "Why not? She likes you; she said only yesterday that sho thought that you wero an estimablo young man." 31 Mr. Armstcad looked intensely dis gusted. "Estimablo, indeed! I flatter my self—" ho broke off. "I don't believe sho said anything of tho kind; I be lieve you made that up." "Am I to understand that my verac ity is in doubt?" "There uro somo quostions that are better left unanswered," ho replied, pensively. "Well, you can bcliovo it or not— she said it; sho hus a littlo way of any iug things that fret people; not that I think that sho means it." "How charitable! Tho improving books are getting in their work ; but to return to our muttons and answer your question. My reason for not lik ing Miss Netherton is, perhaps, a childish one, but sho told mo a piece of bad news rnoe, and told it with so much relish (or so i imagined) that 1 can't quito get over it." "The idea! Why, she imparts tho most tryiug bits of information to ma nbout myself all the time, and it never 'phases' me. Lifo is too short to worry over tho Marvs one meets." "Ob, \ou are so sublimely indiffer ent that you can afford to ignoro her ; but I nin desperately human, and X can't help caring about things. It's absurdly old fashioned, I know, and I intend to get over it some day, but in the meantime my friends will have to bo lenient with me." "He grows sarcastic," sho said. "I ought to feel crushed, of course, but I am not. I suppose that is another ev idence of my sublime indifference." "You may not know it," ho said, politely, "but tkcro is a caterpillar perambulating up your sleeve." Instead of crying out, as ho had ex pected her to do, she calmly flipped off the intruder, smiling meanwhile in a suporior way that was meant to ox asperate. "What nerve," ho cried. "Miss Nethcrtou herself could not have done it better." "Do you know," she said, "X think you are in a very censorious frame of mind; indeed, during your whole visit you have been anything but agree able." "X'hnuk you eo much." "X never was eo disappointed in anybody. I hud been looking forward to your coming, and welcomed you so cordially, and hero, instead of being nice and amusing and kind, as you used to be, you do nothing but frown at mo from morning till night. What in the world havo I done? And if you are so unhappy with us, why did you come? Nobody made you. This is a free country, you can do exactly as you please." He looked at her steadily. "X came down with tho iutontion of proposing to you," he said." This reply was so unexpected that slip was for the moment disconcerted, but she immediately rallied and said lightly: "Well, you havo evidently thought better of it; so that need not worry you." "Yes," ho auswored, slowly, "I have thought bettor of it." Now Miss llowcott believed herself, and not without justice, to bo a very sweet-tempered individual. She hated quarrels and avoided "scenes" as most peoplo do a rattlesnake; but it was not in flesh and blood to listen calmly to a sworn admirer's declaration of in dependence, especially whon it wus so impertinently worded. "You were always clever," sho said, endeavoring to keop the anger that was consuming her out of her voice, "and I can but congratulate you upon having displayed your usual good judgment. Few men, I believe, enjoy being refused." "Oh, that was not tho reasoD," he cried. . Tho blood swept to her clicoks and her oyo3 flashed, but sho held herself well in hund, for, bo it confessed, au overwhelming curiosity to know why ho had changed his mind had posses sion of her, so in rcspouso to this added bit of rudeness, she suid lan guidly : "No? Well, my imagination is not my strong point, so I fear I shall have to reuiaiu in the dark." "I should think you would know," he exclaimed. "Do you? lam afraid you have credited me with brighter mental abili ties than 1 posses?." "If you do not understand it, it is because you will not." "Ob, of course, there is one solu tion, but that is so little flattering to my self-esteem that I refuse to think of it." "Not flattering to your self-esteem —but what do you mean? I do not follow you." A very brilliant and crushing retort suggested itself to her here, but sho thought better of it (it did not do to be too clever with men), so instead of dazzling him with Iter wit sho only sighed and looko I at him with the air of one who had borne all that tho spirit of mortal could be called upon to endure. "What construction liuvo you put upon my words?" ho cried, excitedly. "You have some idea in your mind." "I hope I have," she replied with spirit "Oh, don't jest with me; be in earnest for onoe in your life ! What did you think was my reason for not asking you to marry me?" And now lor the lirst timo Miss Ilowcott departed from tho strict path pf truth (improving books to tho coo- trary). "I don't think I thought nbout it one way or the other," sho said lazilv. He flushed at this, but after a mo ment's silence said: "Under the cir cumstancos, I suppose, I could hardly expoct anything else." She looked at him hopelessly. "Under what circumstancos? I wish you would come out openly and say what you mean, for either I am hope lessly dense to-day, or you express yourself badly, but I don't understand you at all." "And ,yet it is simple enough. I moan, that considering your engage ment, it is not strange that I should have but littlo placo inyour thoughts." "My engagement?"—araazedly. "Oh, come now, don't deny it to me," he cried almost roughly, "for I have it on tho best authority I Miss Nethertou told mo of it the night X arrived. She said that you did not admit to it, but that she knew it to be true." "Did she, indeed? And did sho state to whom?"—with ominous calm. "Sho didn't tell mo his name—a New York fellow, she said; somebody you met at the Springs last summer." "And so that was why you—" "Why I did not propose to yon. But surely you knew that. I havo al ways cared for you—ever since that iirst night at tho Deane's—so yon can imagine my grief and disappointment wheu your mtimato friend informed mo that I Lad come too late, and ad vised me to hold my peace. No wonder I haven't been 'nice and amusing;' a man doesn't feel liko dancing at his own funeral." "What an ordinary expression," she cried gayly. "I am afraid you are deteriorating; however, before wo go any further perhaps you wouldn't mind hearing that I'm not engaged, and that our excellent Mary told you a—or, rather—she got things somewhat mixed. That's more chari table. I believe." "What I Had she absolutely noth ing to go on?" "Oh, ofjeourso"—smiling—"l have a good many friends who have been very polite to me, and all that, but it doesn't necessarily follow that I should bo engaged to any of them." "l'hen why did she tell mo so?" Sho laughed: "Ah, my friend, you have much yet to learn ; your educa tion in cortain branches has been woe fully neglected, and some day when I have leisure I shall make it my duty to instruct you about various social matters that seemed to havo escaped your attention." "Doesn't she liko you?" "Yes, after a fashion ; but I fret her awfully I scorn so woll pleased with myself and people generally. She thinks I need talcing down occasion ally, and whenever I get too much 011 the crest of the wuvo 8110 doos some thing of that sort. It is a kind of snored duty with her, and is for my ultimnto moral good." Mr. Armsteal remainod plunged in thought for a few moments, then ho said: "Women are strange creatures; I don't understand them at all." "The world's sagost philosophers have been balilod by that problem, so if I were you I wouldn't waste uuy gray matter over it." "Well, I won't. What is troubling mo ut preseut is whether I have any chance with you, for after what you huvo said just now I am utmost afraid to try lay luck." "What did 1 say ?" "Why, you intimated that had I been bold enough to proposo to you, you would have refused me." "Of course, I said that (and so would auy other girl who had a modicum of pride) when I thought you didn't in tend to ask me." "Well, 1 ask you now, and with all my heart. Will you marry mo? You know that I love you, how I havo al ways loved you, and surely if there be any truth in tho old saying that leve persuades love, you ought to e.iro for mo a little. I don't pretend to be us clover as somo of the men you know, but I will guar l you tenderly and try to nriko you happy. I know I am expressing myself badly—what ouo feels most is ulways hardest to put into words, but you, who arc so sym pathetic, will read betweeu tho hues and guess at what I leave unsaid." In his eagerness ):o camo and knelt beßido ber chair, luyiug his stroug hand over hers ; she did not draw it away. "It was absurd of mo to take your cousin's word, without inquiring of you, but if you will marry a poor fool who camo near throwing away his chances for happiness, you will make me tho happiest man on earth." Sho shook her hoad. "No," sho said so positsvely that Stephen Arm stead's heart sank within him. "I would never marry a fool. I wonder that you ask mo to. Surely, I de serve a better fate than that, but"— leaning toward him with a smile that said more than words—"l will marry you, for you aro just what 1 want you to be, and I love you!"— New Orleans Times-Democrat.
