' White Wervan tn In Africa. The report that Emil Holub and hi exploring party had been murdered in. Africa has been happily contradicted. The party, however, were robbed of their trade goods by unfriendly natives, and were forced to retreat ! for hundreds of miles from near Lake Bangweolo, where Livingston died, to | Shoshong, south of the Zambesi river, | where they arrived in great destitution and are now awaiting aid from Austria to renew their journey northward. The fact that Dr. and Mrs. Holub were accompanied by five or six male and female servants from Vienna, it would seem, was likely to add to their difficulties. These people knowing | nothing and caring nothing for exf ploration, were employed simply as servants. It has been the general opinion that, an in Africa weakened his party if it included any white men of : mediocre intelligence or who were not inspired with something like his own zeal for exploratory work. Stanley, in his trip across the continent, was accompanied by three young men who were not his personal servants, but rather his assistants. Only one of them, however, strengthened the expidition, and none of them survived it. The idea of introducing into the jungles of central Africa male and female peasants from Europe, welltrained body-servants, to be sure, but mainly ignorant of the vicissitudes of ■ travel in savage countries, has been I realized only one?before Dr. Holub tried the experiment. Twenty-four years agri Miss Tinne made her remarkable trip up the Nile tri the Bahr al Ghasal affluent, a journey that cost this handsome and enthusiastic Dutch traveler $39,000. She was accompanied by h-r mother, a large retinue of attendants, and she had as fine an outfit as money could buy. i The Nile tribes all thought her the i daughter of some great king. She had in her party eight or nine Dutch seeyants, including ccoks, ladies maid. etc. The history of this remarkable expedition contains nothing more pathetic than the story of the poor Dutch girl, who, amid the marshes of the Bahr al Ghasal, when many in the camp were fever-stricken, bemoaned her unhappy fate, and kept exclaiming as she wrung her hands: “Oh why did I leave my own Holland?" The poor maid was destined to perish in the heart of a savage country whose perils she probably never realized until she was hopelessly involved in them. Why Men Get Raid. ....“I have heard nearly as many explanations of baldness as I have seen bald headed men, and that’s a good many,” said a down town barber the other day, “but I never heard one that gave the true cause. Some people say it is dissipation, cutting the hair tooshort, letting it grow too long, stnoking too strong cigars,'smoking a pipe, smoking cigarettes, drinking strong coffee, drinlfing bad whisky, wearing high hats, wearing low hats, wearing a hat in the house, not wearing a hat out of doors, worrying, late hours, and early piety. “Now, did you ever notice what classes of men are most commonly bald? That throws a deal of light on the cause of baldness, I have found that as a rule retail salesmen, bookkeepers, and some office clerks are more often bald than any other class of men WhvYßecau&s they habit--ually stand or sit nearly every evening under a gaslight. “Bookkeepers always have a strong light over their heads. 8o do clerks who have to work at night. Retail salesmen sell goods under powerful burners that are most of the time directly over their heads. The artificial heat dries out the hair, makes it brittle and unhealthy, and finally kills it at the root. That's how the people get bald. If you will pass your hand thrpugh your hair after you have been standing under a gaslight foV a few moments, you will see at once, how it is. Although you may not have noticed the heat, your hair, if you've got any, will be fairly hot to the roots. You'll "be surprised to notice, too. at what a distance from the light the heat will take effect. ? Now there’s nothing in the world that is so bad for the hair as getting it dry. It should be moist all the time, and with the oil that is naturally secreted by the little cells at the roots. When this oil is continually and rapidly evaporated, as it is when the head is kept heated by the gaslight, the cell dries up and the hair falls out. _ “There won’t be nearly so much baldness in the world after two or three generations have used the electric light exclusively. People who sit under gaslight should wear aome kind of a non-conducting head gear to protect themselves.”— New York Commercial Advertiser.
