A single hair, which can otippsft a weight, of two ounce, is so" elastic that it Riay bo stretched la one-third of its entire length and then regain is former size and condition. Dr. PiiicHs has measured the growth 'el hair by cutting off circles about one inch in diameter from the heads of healthy men, and o comparing the growth of the patches with that of the rest of llw hair. lie found that the growth rate, generally became slower after cutting; that in mine caws the hair on patches grew at the sflmo rate m the rest, hut that it never grew any faster. The ordinary length of the hair on the head ranges between 22 inch es and about 15 inches, flic latter be ing considered unusually long. It has been calculated tlmt the hair of the beard grows at the rate of one line and a lialf a week; this will give a length of OlA inches in the course of a year. For a man 80 years of age, who has been a clean shaver from early maturity, no less than 27 fect of beard must have fallen be fore the edge of tho razor. NO MILK IN TYPHOID. A. Scibert of New York haa used a milkfrco fluid diet in typhoid fever in Gl cases at St. Francis' hospital, with only one death. Most of the patients were convalescent muck sooner than is usually the case in ty phoid fever. Irrigations of the bow els were combined with the diet. The patient is given an initial dose ef calomel, and is then fed on water for 24 hours. From that tine he takes strained rice, oatmeal o'r bar ley soup with extract of meat and egg yolk. Then other broths, and zwieback are added. Hydrochloric acid is given before feeding. All the general symptoms are improved, the temperature is lowered, intestinal and nervous symptoms are improved and complications disappear. The attack is shortened, the mortality di minished and complications lessened. Medical Record. TEHERAN'S WATER SUPPLY. Teheran, the center of the'qivjl war now raging in Persia, has witfife the last .20 years undergone the roost rapid transformation of all, oriental cities. Since tie old four-mile wall was taken down and the ditch' filled up to form a broad boulevard, gas, tramways and telegraphs have mod ern zed the ancient birthplace of Haroun-al-Raschid. To preserve the character of the city, however, the old pits that tap the subterranean water courses, on which all local life depends, are still aa they were centuries ago. THE DOCTOR'S OPPORTUNITY.

It Checks Prosperity It has been said, that ''a fool and his money soon paits;"' this being, true, Hickman has a few men, who judging from this standard, ' are ex ceptionally wise. They worship the Almighty Dollar, and turning them loose is worse than the proverbial "pulling of eye teeth." My friend, did you ever stop to think what the result would be if we were all misers and tight-wads? Hoarded money is dead. It pays no wages. It buys no groceries. , It shelters no family. For industry to ,be prosperous, for business to be profitable for employ ment to be constant money must be kept in circulation. The merchant must receive money for his goods, and in turn pay tbe money to his employees and to the factories which produce what he sells, and which in turn pay out to their work ingmen, from whom it goes to the butcher, the grocer and store keep er, keeping in continued circulation. Money in itself is of no value to anybody except the miser. It is not edible until it is exchanged fcr food. It does not keep off the rain until it is paid out for rent. It docs not protect from cold until it is exchang ed (or clothing. Idle money is the most useless commodity . in the world. What money a man does not need to pay his bills he should deposit in a bank, where it will be put to work, In a bank's vault, money is a basis for credit, and credit is necesssary for profitable business. The worst place for a man to keep his money is in his pocket. It burns holes there. It is a' constant temptation to excessive expenditure. The mon ey which a man does not need tor his necessary purposes of food and clothing and shelter should be put to work. Do not hoard it. Its posses sion is the cause of ceaseless worry. The hoarding of money is the surest way to check prosperity and to throw out of work the very peoples who do the hoarding. Cures Chills and Fever. O. V. Wirt. NRcoialochoH.
