INFLUENCE OF MUSIC.
Tho influence of music, as demonstrated by n scries of ■experiments, was the subject of a remarkable papor read by Mrs Amelia, Holbrook at the- Actors' Home, Siaten Island, New York. Certain kind? of music, assorted Mrs Kolbrook, prevent the hair from falling out, and other kinds produce baldness. Those who play their own compositions on tho piano preserve, and often acquire, a luxuriant growth of hair. The violoncello and harp also have a tendency to preserve tho hair ; but wind instruments, especially the trombone and cornet, are fatal to hirsute adornment. Wagner is the boet of all composers for nervous diseases, because his music is largely descriptive. At the close of the paper several professional musicians stated that Mrs Holbrook's deductions coincided with their own observations.
