HATS CAUSE BALDNESS. They Make the Scalp a Breeding Place for Microbes. Nel York World. There is every reason to believe that primitive man had a thick and abundant head of hair and that this natural clothing of the scalp is dimin ishing among civilized people and will eiad by disappearing altogether, which would certainly not be advantageous from an aesthetic point of view. The caxse of this disappearance of the hair acording to the doctors, must be sought in the very conditions of civi lization and in the customs it has in troduced. One of the customs espec ially hurful to the hair , the hat, and, above al', the masculine hat, so we see man's hair suffer more than woman's. The hat produces baldness by two different methods. First it creates about the head an atmosphere which is fatally warm and moist and which prevents the penetration of the rays of light that are so fatal to bacteria; the hat makes for the microbes a sort of improvished hotbed which is extreme ly favorable to their developement, and it is known that microbes play an .1m@o..ant role in the production of baldness. If it had been desired to foster the existence of microbes cap pable of living upon the scalp or in the hair a more favorable means for their protection and multiplication than the hat could not have been found. Again, the hat, holding its place upon the head sorely by pres imre, exerts a second pernicious in fluepce upon the scalp; it compresses the arteries and the veins; it impedes the circulation of the blood and con sequently the nutrition of the organs which produce the hair. It is there fore doubly desirable that the reign of tie hat should cease in the case of men, for with. women the hat is so light a thing that it can exert only a trifling proportion of the ravages it is responsible for in men, and that this garment -should be renounced or re placed by some less injurious article. As a matter of fact men., would be very healthy with bare heads. The hair would be strengthened and would serve as a hat; it would only be nec essary to protect the head against the rays of the sun in summer in order to avoid sunstroke. It is true the public imagines that it would catch cold more easily, but this is a mistake. A draft alone is not enough to give cold; a microbe is absolutely neces sary. From the hygienic point of view there are fewer inconveniences in go ing with. the head bare than in carry ing about upon it a hothouse for mi crebes. Helen Keller's First Dance. Helen Keller, the famous blind and deaf gri, whose acheviements are the wonder of ,the civilized world, .is at the home of her mother in Florence, Alabama, where she came for a com plete rest of several months. In a pretty cottage surrounded by a blue grass lawn and handsome oak trees, she will, renew the home ties which were interrupted fifteen years ago, when she commenced acquiring, un der the guidance of Miss Sullivan, the wonderful amount of knowledge she passesses.. Miss Keller arrived the wveek before Christmas to spend the first Chrstmas in twelve years with her mother, her sister, Mildred, and her little broth-er, Phillips. Florence was very gay dur ing the holidays, and for the first time she exchanged the habits of a stu dent and hard worker for those of a society butterfly. Up to this time she had never danced except with girls at school and great was her de light when the nigh-t after Christmas she attended her first real ball and danced like the other girls. Miss Kel ler is a graceful dancer, and as she glided around the room, keeping per fect time to the music, it was hard to realize that to her all was darkness and silence and that her movements were not inspired to the strains of the orchestra. She was especailly interested in the german given by the "Rosebuds"~ in the set to which her younger sister belongs, and was one of the busiest at making the favors. Miss Keller is always accessible to her friends, and nothing gives her more pleasure than to meet those whom she knew in her early days. Her marvelous memory is frequently demonstarted by remarks she makes when people are presented to her. 'oughr she has been far from her na Horses,l The best the State. F ceived. Pric Quat tive home for the past fiteen years except for brief visits at rare inter vals, she is familiar with the minutes incidents of Alabama history, botl ancient and modern, and with its lit erature as well. He Knew the Train. A traveler went into a union avenu barber shop yesterday morning to ge a shine, and decided to inquire abou his train, says the Kansas City Star "Say," he said, addressing the negr< bootblack. "What time does the Mis souri Pacific leave for St. Louis thi. morning?" "You mean the one that makes th< daylight run?" queried the negro. "'Yes that's the one," said the man "Ah, it ah the train that connec' wif the one from Leavenworth, aip'1 it?" asked the bootblack, as he brush ed away. "Yes." "Runs fru Wahnsbur'gh?" "Yes." "An' Jefferson City?" "Yes." "I knows the train yoh means, al right. Stan' on the secon' er thu( thrack, doin' it?" "I think it does." "Changes ingines-. Le see. Wh do dat train change ingines?" "I don't know," said the man "What I want to know is its leaving time." "Ah knows jes' what yoh wants, an Ah knows jes' exactly what train yot means." "Well, when does it leave?" "Oh, yes; when do it leave? Ah. suah Ah doan' knowv 'bout that, boss,' vas the negro's reply. Their Reasons. A writer in Lippincott's tells of young teacher who had taken specia pains to implans a knowledge of Unit ed States history, who could but fee that much good seed had fallen or stony ground, when at the final ex amination the question: "What char acter do you like best, and why? brought forth the following replies: "Andrew Jackson, because he whip ped the British with an old hickory? "Grant, who was elected presiden twice and around the world o.nce." - like Monroe for doctrin' the peo pie and Jackson, standing on a ston< wall and fell dead.' Lincoln, who was shot and kille< standing in a booth, and lied saying 'Jefferson survives. I am contented. --De Soto. who waded in the Missis sippi up to his elbows and there foun< is grave." -Old General Putnam, who left hi: ox and his ass in the field and wen and beat the British." "The redoubtful John Paul Jones because he said, 'We'll beat them Brit ish or bust,' and then did it."
