WEIGHT OF A SIGNATURE.
.^ Wonciorful Pair of  Scales Ttiat   Weighs tlie HairH On n  Man's Head.
In a Broadw.ay store, wliieh is a branch of a big out-of-town scale fac- tor3',-are more ditrcrent kinds of scales than most people imagine were ever mado. There are specimens of every grade of weigliing machines, from the big track scales that can weigh a rail¬ road car full of pig lead down to a tiny balance so fine that it is kept in a glass case whieli could be carried in one's pocket. The smallest scales of all are made for delicate tests iu assaying. They are adjusted to milligrammes and are so sensitive and so fine tliatan eye¬ lash cau be correctly weighed on them. You can write your name on a slip of ])aper with a load iiencil agd then find out just how mucli your signature Weighs. Tlie weights are the mere atoms of aluminum, not half so large as the head of a pin. The machine is so delicate that a little dust blowing in from the street iiiigiit afleet its work- in ji:s, aud it has to be carefully cleaned after each exposure. It is made of uhiminiim, platinum and tlie finest lonipered steel, and people do not use it as a plaything as a general rule. It oost as much as its AveigJit in gold.
Every once ill awhile a skcjitic comes along wild doesirt believe it will weigh •I hair from a man's head, and if the manager of the store has plenty of time at ills disposal he will bring out the ^vouderful little machine and operate it. A reporter happened in the other day ^^¦'lile the operation was going on. The "iiuiagcr took a slip of ordinary writing I'Jipor and weighed it. It v.eighed thirty-eight milligrammes. Ho then Save it to the visitor, with a lead pencil, aud the visitor wrote "John Henry -ju-ned" on it in a full, free hand. 'l>en the manager put tlie .slip back on Lij.''scale and fixed the little weights. r"'ii he struck a balance again he had ['^['•y-lliree milligrammes on the other The signature weighed precisely ^\'' '^milligrammes, "'en tlie mau pulled a hair out of his '''''. and the manager found it weighc/l ""'^ milligraniines. An eye-lash '-lit'd a little less than one milli- !"""e, and a hair from his whiskers .^'i.il live milligrammes.
"' manager showed howea.sy it was ' """t the hair on a man's head.    At. ' '"^te of three milligrammes to a hair ,/'''^' winild be 8,000 hairs in an ounce. '/' "uui probably had three   ounces of [aji- on his  head   and   therefore 24,000 ^¦-^n-s.—N. T^Muil nnd E.cpress.

FLORAL CHARMS.
Lilies of the Valley as a Safegraard Against Accidents on the Bail.
Two ladies hurriedly entered the Broad street station the other day. "How soon does the train leave?" anx¬ iously inquired one of them.
"In five minutes. You have not got much time to spare," the guard an¬ swered.
"You get the tickets, please," the younger lady said to her companion. "I must have some flowers."
"You will miss tlic train if you go after them now, Maud," her friend an¬ swered.
"I wouhl rather miss it than go on it without some tlowers. I will tell you why when 1 return, she answered as she darted aAvay.
She came back with lilies of the val¬ ley in her hand, and offered half of them to her friond.
"No, no; I will not rob you of them after you risked missing the train to procure them," the lady said.
"Do take them, please. I am some¬ what supei-stitious about it. You know I rode a good deal on the trains at ono time to and from school. Tlie con¬ ductor of the train was a great big man of middle age, with hair tinged with gray. No matter what the season, summer or winter, he always wore a flower on the lapel of his coat. One day I picked up courage to ask him why he did so.
"Well, you see, miss, I have got a little wife up at home that thinks a great deal of me. No one would ever get very badly mixed up in a railroad accident who wore a flower about them. She pinned the first flower to my coat that I ever Avore on a train, and now I'd rather go without my dinner on a trip than go aboard without my flower," he said.
"Were j'ou ever on a train when an accident occurred?" I a.sked him.
"Yes, I was once," he said, "and I was almost the only one ou the car who did not get hurt badlj'. Vv'hon the crash came I did not get a scratch; and do you know, miss, I .«till think it was the flower my wife pinned on my coat, and her prayers that kept mc safe that night."
"Sinco the conductor told me tJiat story I must confess I have been affect¬ ed with the same superstition, if you have a mind to call it so; but it is a harmless one, at all events."
Her comiianion accepted the flower, two young ladies boarded the -Pkila'lelphia Xorth American.

STOVE-PIPE  HATS.
A  Scientist  Pronounces Them the  Cause of the Comniou Form of Baldness.
The habit of wearing warm cover¬ ings on the head is not of recent date;- |the armies of Europe, for instance, no inconsiderable number of men, with heads close cropped, have worn for a long period warmer and heavier head¬ gear than the modern dwellers in cities, without the same tendency to baldness. Nor are the heavy fur cov¬ erings of northern r.aces incompatible with luxuriant hair. It is also difficult to understand what injury can result from close cutting per se. The growth is iu the hair-follicle, and in it alone; there is no vital connection between the hair outside the scalp and Avithin; it is usually cut closest at the back of the head and neck, Avhere baldness never occurs. Would not close cutting rather stimulate the growth by ex¬ posure of the scalp? Such at least is the popular belief. So, too, Avith in¬ door life: women, who ought to shoAV it most, whether in the home or in the factory, are never bald as men are; on the contrary, it is most common with men in good circumstances, as Mr. Eaton's statistics show, men Avho spend a larger proportion of their day-timo in tlie open air than the in-door Avorker.
I believe the common form of bald-, ness is due entirely to the kind of hat that is Avorn, principally to the high hat and the harcl felt hat, but also to any other head-covering t/iat constricts the blood-vessels which nourish the fuiir- bulbs. To have a clearer understand¬ ing of this, we must remember that the scalp is supplied with blood by arteries at the back, sides and front of, and ly¬ ing close to, the skull, AA'hich diminish in .size by frequent branching as they couA'crge toAvard the top of the head. They are in most favorable position to be compressed, lying on unyielding bone and coA-ercd by thin tissui^ Con¬ sider Avhat effect must bn produced by a close-fitting, heavy and rigid hat; its pressure must lessen to a certain ex¬ tent the flow of arterial blood, and ob¬ struct to a greater extent the return of tho venos; the result being a sluggi.sh circulation iu the cajjilliaries around the hair follicles and bulb.s, a coii.se- quent impairment of nutrition, and final atrophj'. This pressure is not trivial or imaginary, as any one Aviil admit who has noticed the red band of congestion on tlie forehead Avhen .a hard hat is remoA' 'd after moderate exercise. — W. C. Goiiinloek, in Popular Science Monthly.
TWO ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
The Wearing of Veils and Oransro Blossoms by Blushing l.rldcj.
Tlie cust in of the bride Avcaring a A'cil on the occasion of her Avedding is, Avitiiout doubt, of Eastern origin. Among Anglo-Saxons it was held over the heads of the bride and bridegroom to li|do the blushes of tlie haiijiy lady from the company. This little compli¬ ment Avas not paid to a Aviduw on her remarriage, as her blushes Avei'C sup¬ posed to have been exhaustx'd. This custom Avas gradually superceded by the Eastern practice of Avcaring long, SAveeping, gauzy AciLs.
HoAV the orange-blossom first came to be used at marriages is A^eilcd in ob- fscurity. In France this custom is a matter of much pride and importance, inasmuch as it is a testimonial of pu¬ rity, not only of the bride herself, but of integrity and morality ia the char¬ acter of her relatives.
In the province of Franche Comte, to wear the orange-blossom is consider¬ ed a sacred right, obtained by undoubt¬ ed character, and, as such, proudly maintained. In .almost every village or small toAvn in France the bride en¬ titled to Avear the croAvn of orange- blossom has this beautiful certificate of her purity cither framed or placed under a glass shade, and it is religious¬ ly preserved, if possible, even througii generations, as an indisputable testi¬ monial of undoubted character.
In Germany the duties of the brides¬ maid have just a tinge of superstition about them. It is one of their duties on the morning of the marriage-day to carry to the bride a myrtle Avrcatli, for Avhich they had subscribed on the pre¬ vious evening. This they place on her liead, and at night remove it, when it is placed in the bride's hand, she being at the time blindfolded. The brides^ maids then dance around her, while she endeavors to place the Avreath on one of their heads. Whoever is for¬ tunate enough to be thus decorated Avill, it is bclicA'cd, be herself a wife before another year has passed away. In remoA-ing the bridal Avreath and veil, the bridesmaids are careful to throw aAA'ay cAcry pin, or the bride will be oAcrtaken by misfortune; Avhilc any uiuvar}- bridesmaitl avIio retains one of these useful little articles will materially lessen hcr chances of "gct- iincr oft'." Like many other German fsuperstitions, this has found it.s Avay into England, though it has not yet be¬ come a general belief.—All the Year Round.
