Grey Hair.
Medical and SURGICAL Reporter:

MeulChf ana DuTplcll ILeDOrCer.
Many persons begin to show grey
hairs while they are yet in their
twenties, and some while in their teens.
This does not by amy means argue a
premature decay Of the constitution.
1t is q purely local phenomenon, and
may coexist withunusual bodily vigor.
The celebrated author and traveller,
George Borrow, turned quite grey be-
fore he was 30, but was an extraordi-
mary swimmer and athlete at 65.
Many feeble persons, and Others who
have suffered extremely, fundamentally
and physically, do not blanch n hair
until past middle life; while others,
without assigneble cause, lose their
capillary coloring matter rapidly when
about forty years OF age.
Race has II marked Influence. The
traveller, DR.. Orbigny, says that in the
many years hespent in South America,
he never saw a bald Indian, and
scarcely every q grey haired one. The
negroes turn more slowly than the
whites. Yet we know OF 3 negress of
pure blood, about 35 years old, who is
quite grey. In this country, sex APP

and women grow grey about the same
period of Life In men the hair and
beard rarely change equally. The ons
is usually darker than the other for
several years, but there seems to beno
general rule as to which whitens first.

Death Of a Famed Austrian Lady.
London Times.

London Timcs.
From our Vienna correspondent we
learn that Anna, Countess of Meran,
the morganatic widow of the late
Archduke John of Austria, died yes
terday morning at Aussee. in her SD
year. The deceased lady. who was
much respected at the Austrian Court,
was celebrated in her youth for her
great beauty. Her ma den name was
Plochl. She vas the daughter of the
Postmaster of Aussee. and there are a
great many romantic popular legends
as to the way in which she and Arch
duke John became acquainted, These
legends all tended to make the story
of Archduke Johns wooing a pend
ant to that of Lord Burleigh. in Ten
nyson's poem, but the truth is simply
that Archduke John, who passed
through Aussee every yesr, used to
notice the pretty girl when his carriage
stopped at the post house to change
horses. The Archduke MARI ed her IN
1927, Anna Plo:hl being then % years
old, and he was in consequence exiled
from Court by his brother. the En-
peror Francis. subsequently the Emit
press Carolina Augusta intercedcd
" hAAa oat " q NV oLCll lctO, uIl-
der the reign of Emperor Ferdinand
that his wife was received at Cour,
and created Baroness Brandhof.
Later she received the title of Count
ess of Mcran, which has now devolved
upon her son, the only child by her
marriage. Archduke John died in
1853. Since then the Countess has
lived mostly at Glatz, but she had
bought the old post house where she
was born to convert it into Il summer
residence. and it was there she d.cd.
The present Emperor of Austria al
ways treated the Countess w tn high
regard and kindness. Whenever he
passed through Gratz he went to see
her, and during her last illness he
sent several kilograms of inquiry
about her health. The Countess was
held in general honor for her charity
and for the kindly use she made of her
influence in high circles.

Happy Montana Cow.punchcrs.

For the past few days l have been

Gamble? Why. yesterday l say five

have backed her for my entire Doodle,

and but very few of them but what are
gentle as a dog. And l may add that
when a Montana cow oy gets back
from a roud-up his horses are still fat.
In the first place he has plenty OF
them. and these men do not allow
their hands to dash horses around
just for the fun of the thing. And the
cattle here are SC different from what
they are in Texas that there is really
very little hard riding to do. Boys
who have worked on both ranges say
that while the average Texas COW pony
cannot compare with his Montana
brother as to looks, yet, when, il
comes to doing hard work and a heap
OF 1t. he is far superior to the latter.
He is quicker and harder, and better
adapted to just such work. In thu

APawnee Scalp Dance.

As l approached the lodge an hodr
before sunset, l saw dangling from a.
lodge pole, which rose far above the
lodge, the scalp around which the
dance was to beheld. The scalp was
that of a m The hair was fully
eighteen inches long and of a redcolor.
AS l entered the lodge no one was with
IN except the dancers ten or twelve in
number, who sat in asemi-circle at the
back Of the lodge and opposite the en-
ed themselves attending the wants Of
the dancers: All was quiet, not a
word being spoken until near the set
ting sun. Then the drummers beat
with all their power, and in came the
spectators (mostly men) peil-mell yell
ing at the top OF their voices. All
seemed confusion, all were talking at
once; but once in, all again became
quiet as before. The dancers were
painted most fancifully, many being
covered all over with white or clay
paint. Where only thefaces was orra-
mented the mor rare olors were used,
such as red, green, blue, yellow, but all
were painted beyond recognition.
Spotted Horse a the first to dance;
he being the n who hadcut tire scalp
from its owner. He came forth with
dlgnitied air, tirstdescribed how hehad
killed the woman and cut the scalp off
before she was dead, even describing
how she had screamed and p%leadedfor
mercy. BY use of the tomahawk he,
held, he acted out rs near as possible
the dreadful tragedy in which he had
played so important a part. Them
came the dance; first the dancers head
and body are" leanedIforward, the head
reaching very near the ground, next
lifting the feet high, in the air, he.

posture with such force as to-,
seem to jar the very lodge. A
knife was held in one hand, a medi-
cine gourd inthe other. the latter of
which vas shook accompaniment to-
the music Of the Indian drums. The.
dance was in exact unison withtthe,
music. At intervals he stopped and
reviewed the story he.hadt already re-
lated or some part of it., then again
danced with more,energy than before:
Thus the dance was kept up foran
hour when he wasjoined by the rest of
the dancers. One by one they came.
forth and related 9 act of valor,
after which the dance was again begun.
This dance was kept upuntil midnight
when the presents We're given. Many
OF the spectators became SO excited
they took from their own body their
wearing apparel and threw it to,the
dancers. Then, came the big smoke.

bacco the dance is either ended or they
begin anew, and repeat exactly what

same scalp, but after that night that
scalp is never danced around again.

Mistaken Identify.

Let us go back to 1890, to a French
case, that OF Martin Gue,re, which
came before the Parliament of Tou-
louise J II that year, and certainly
sounds more like a fiction than a true
story. Martin Guerre, foolish man,
left his home and wife for eight years.
l~heleupon n Aranauld Dutille made
his appearance. bearing a great re-
semblance to the errant Martin, was
rece we'd by the wife as her husband,
and took possession of the property.
Children were born to them, and for
three years Aranauld Dutille was ac-
cepted by Madam Guerrc. and Martins
four sisters and two brothcrs-in-law,
as her lawful husband. The matter,
however. fell INTO dispute, and then
came the tug of war. Hundreds of
witnesses were examined, and of those
some forty swore that the inlpostor was
Martin Guerre, while as many were
equally positive he was Arnauld Du-
tile, and again a number of judicious
persons testified that the men were so
much al Ike that they could not decide
which was before them. The judges
were naturally very much puzzled,
and Arnauld Dutille brazening the
matter out with consummatc etlronte-
~, they were positively on the point of
dec ding in ms favor when the real
Simon Pure appeared on the scene.
Martin Guerre claimed his own, and
the imposture collapsed.
Equally curious in its way was the
ella M of Pierre Mege. a soldier. to be
the son of a certain S.eurd de Ca lie who
had fed to the Savoy, being Il Protest
ant, on The revocation of the edict of
Nantes. His sol died in De Cables
presence at Veyay, but. nevertheless,
the impostor was, after a trial, de-
clared to be the said son. in spite of
documentary evidence from Sw tier
land of t G mans death. The wife of
A.ege. however, let out her secret, and
on an appeal the Parliament of Paris
decided against him. This imposture,
as has been pointed out, was in many
respects. like the Tichborne case. for
there seems t have been no points of
resemblance at all between the two
men.
An Their cause tried in France was
that of Baronet, who was co demned
to the gall VS. on the false evidence of
his sister, who had taken possession of
his property. but he afterwards re-
gained his righ's. mainly owing to the
evidence of Louis, Il celebrated surgeon
of the period.

thousand horses tina. have been on tn.

thousand horses that have been on the
work for over a month, and there is
not one of them but what is mud fat.
Live! Why, these cowboys live higher
than anybody. They have everything
to a that money can buy, and q
cook with a paper cap on to prepare
it. The cook IS so neat and polite that
you could eat him if you were right
he would OBJ ect if you were to attempt
obliging, to object to anything you de-
sire to do. They have fresh beef all
the time. One man kills a beef, keeps
a quarter. and sells the rest TO the 9TH
outfits that are along. That is not
strange, for remember that a beef here
is worth about eighty dollars. Cow
boys get about the same wages here
that they do IN Texas, but one dollar
in Texas will buy as much as three
in Montana. and the boys only get
work about three or four months in
the year.
Say, do you know that away up in
this high altitude we hardly have any
night ut ali at this time of year? The
sun just seems to loiter along in the
sides of the mountains, and forgcts to
go down until you get discouraged
and go to bed and leave him to do as
he p~leases about it. But you can safe
ly bet that he will attend to business
at the old stand bright aud early the
next morning. 1t is not good and
dark here until IL O'Clock, and at $50
daylight begins to appear. Up a lit
tie higher on the mountain it even
beats that record. Two boys went up
on a high peak about 10 o'clock the
other afternoon Just to watch the sun
monkey about a while. One stood on
the western edge of the peak to see
him go down, and the other watched
the eastern side to see him rise. After
some tine the one on the west side
said
There he goes down, jim; guess
it's about supper time
Eyes, durn him, here he comes"
was the reply, land we might as well
90 to breakfast"
It's all nice enough to poke fun at
the boys up here, but you can't buy a
herd of average Montana cattle for
S35 per head. And then, when they
apply a branding-iron to a calf on this
range, it is about the same thing as
stamping a twenty-dollar gold piece.
