Great nervous shocks sometimes
cause the hair to turn white in a
few hours. The case Of Marie An
toinette is one Of the most tender
and touching on record, form a single
night her rich, dark hair was changed
to silver gray. In its natural state
it was pale auburn in color, and of
a silky texture. On the other hand,
gray hair has been known to become
dark. Nazarelia, man 105 years
old, was in 1774 at Vienna presented
by nature with a new set of teeth
and a restoration Of the black hair of
his youth. John Weeks died aged

Sinclair, a scotchman, dying at. ITO,

A New York physician reports the
case Of a man who had three changes
Iofhis hair from black to white during
his life, the first taking place when
he was about 50 years Of age.
"Variegated hair which is alter
nately banded black and white, is
noted among the hirsute curiosities
of nature, and green and blue hair

duction to the influence Of surround

green hair belonging to those who
work in the copper mines, and blue
to those whose occupation is cobalt
mining. Workers in indigo also
have blue hair.

in the old trundle bed with a curly

room for the next that was turned
out of the parent nest, and so they
kept alternating for years, until we
were turned out into the wide world,

COOKED ALIVE!
TWO BROTHERS THROWN INTO A
SEEEHING CAULDRON - BOILED
TO PIECES IN EACH OTHERS
ARMS

Huntsville Independent,
One of the most sickening af-
fairs, if indeed it is not the most
horrible, which it has ever been
our duty to chronicle, happened
last Saturday on the premises OF
Mr. Solon Kelley, about eight
miles from Huntsville. There was
IA hog-killing in progress and two
colored men, Robert aud Dennis
Patrick, brothers, got into a dis
pute about each others share in
the years crop. A long kettle
filed with water was near by. The
water in the kettle had been heat
ed to such degree that they were
waiting for it to cool little in or
der TO scald hogs in it. The water
was so hot that they were afraid 1t
would " setn the hair of the hogs.
This was the high temperature OF
the water, when the brothers be.
gan to quarrel. Dennis, who was
the Oldest, told Robert that he
would put him in the kettle If he
didn't shut up, aud Robert, the
preacher brother, told Dennis that
il he put him (Robert) in that wa
ter, he (Dennisl would have to &c
with him Dennis caught Robert
and pressed him backward IN the
direction of the kettle. He press
ed him, both of them having theil
arms locked meanwhile, until they
both went headlong into the kettle
of seething water! Their piteous
awful screams aud means soon at
tracted others to the place, wht
finally extricated them from th,
white hot cauldron. They retaine,
their senses when first taken on
and their intense agouies wer'
simply beyond description. The,
at once complained of their no
clothes and when these were takei
from their limbs great flakes o
boiled flesh went with them, leav
, ing their bones exposed. Thel
F.. boards fell out and their hal
dropped from their heads. The,
had literally been cooked alive
: The sight was such that those VIII
\ witnessed it were well nigh para
a lvspd with hnrrnr :,
All possible measures of relic
were tried during the night, 0u
Robert died next day aud Denn'
died on Monday.

FAINT HEART.

She stood before him, tall and fair
And gracious, on that summers day,
With June's first roses in her hair,
And on her cheek the bloom of May.
But rosy cheek, and dimpled chin,
And raven lashes dropping low,
Conceal the answer he woald win
1t might be Yes; would it be MOI
All, if 'tvere No-his throbbiag heart
Stood fairly still with sudden pain;
And il 'twere Yes, the world so wide
His deep content could scarce contain.
So wondrous fair how could she stoop
To favor such one as he Z
All, pain Of sad uncertainty
He held her hand so white and small,
And moved to press it with his lips,
But changed his mind, and let il fall,
With chillest touch of finger tips,
And took the seat she offered him
Upon the sofa by her side,
ANui hlsttiN Aho opaNp pttNNNh 'hNh' ASnn
Which seemed so narrow, yet 50 wide.
Then gazing on the perfect face,
The dimpled mouth, the serious eyes,
And drinking it with eager ears
The music of her low replies,
He let the bright hours drift away,
Nor cold the secret of his heart,
But when the shadows heightened lay,
Rose, all reluctant, to depart.
And stammered forth, with blushing cheek
An eager, timorous request.
That she, for old acquaintance sake,
Would grant the rosebud from he
breast,
She gave it him, with downcast eyes,
Aud watched him leave her, with sigh
$50 good" She said, $50 true, so wise
All, me, II he were not so shyp
