Pearls as Medicine.
Scotland still produces pearls, found
mainly in the fresh water onissel.
They could no doubt be found In Eng-
land if the industry were.prontable.
Cleopatra was not the only Person
who swallowed a dissolved pearl. Un-
til comparatively recently pearls Were
used medicinally in the west and still
appear in the materia medlea of China.
According to one Chinese authority, a
pearl, after being treated with pumice
stone and honeycomb, mixed with the
gall of a serpent, "might be drawn out
to the length of three or four feet.
Make it into pills and swallow them -

The Secret of Baldness.
The actual condition of the scalp and

with the health of the latter than
Poutarly supposed, The bulbs of the roots'

the skin and into the fatty layer which;
lies between it and the skull. and thsr
thing that to the expert eye is teatiri
significant of the prospect as to progrese
ur euro in a particular case of baldness;
la not the condition or color or cleanlinese
of the scalp, but the thickness of thin-)
nese of this fatty layer which underliene
it So long as this ts present and Om
scalp is freely movable over the skull:
there is hope of restoring a reasonable
greveth of hair, but .when this fat has'
been absorbed and the shiny scalp sticks'
as closely to the skull as the cover of a"
baseball the outlook is 'practically hope-
less. This, of course, shows at once the
futility of most of the local applications
to and tneniptilations of the scalp, front
which It suffers untold torments in those

Snowball Showers.
More than one explorer in cold cli-
mates has noted the eurious phenome-
non or a "snowball shower." The balls,
it is true, are not very big, the aver-
age being about the size of a hen's
egg, but they are true snowballs for
a11 that -compressed globes of snow,
not little lumra of ice or hall, A fall
of the kind occurred in north London
in March, 1859, and at the time it Wm(
observed that the balls seemed five
times as dense and compressed as or-
atnary snow -and in no way to be
told from the usual handmade Missies.
They had fallen during the night and
were strewn many layers thick over
a. very large area. No cauee-except a
doubtful electrical one -can be as-
cribed for the strange phenomenon,
and mountaineers are apt to discredit
the stories of snowball showers told
them by the old guides till suddeniv
In the midat of an ordinary storm
they find themselves assailed
though by myriads of mischievous
schoolboys -London Standard.

May Weddinga.
In ancient Remo there was held in
May a feetival called the Lemuria, or
feast of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony in honor of the tenths se
departed souls. It became with tho'
Romans what .we should call 'bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the session cf a solemn ritual, being
no doubt thought to be au insult to
the dead to marry at such a time.
From this a number of stories grew
ef the revenge made by the outraged
ghosts upon those who dared to disre-
gard them, and it anything unfortu-
nate happened to a couple who had
been married in May it would, of
course, have been put down to retri-
bution. So the repugnance to May
weddings arose, and its influence has
lasted ever se-rie, even to our time. -
