An Illinois Youngstcr's Hair as a Wealth
err Indicator.
According to a correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean there is a remark
able boy living on a farm In Centerviile
township, near Mascoutah, H., or rath-
er a boy with a remarkable head of
hair. His name is Tommy johnson,
and he is about fourteen years of age
He is the only son of Frank johnson, a
well-to-do farmer of Centerville town
ship. The boy is healthy and intelli-
gent and great deal like other boys,
with the exception of his wonderful
head of hair.
The hair is straight and black as that
of an Indian ordinarily, but at the APP
proach of a storm the hair begins to
kink and curl two or three days before
hand, and it remains in that condition
until after the storm is over, when
again it becomes perfectly straight. Ii
the storm is of any magnitude the hair
will curl mp into little balls.
The boys hair is used as a barometer
by the farmers Of that section. If a
neighboring farmer wants to haul hay
to town, harvest wheat or anything else
that makes him particularly Interested
in the weather, lie calls at the johnson
home beforehand and looks at Tommy's
hair. If the hair is straight, the farm
er makes his arrangements to do the
work; but if the hair is curled, then the
work is postponed until after the ap-
preaching storm. The people Of the

must everything be reduced to terms of

thing of a fine art; it was pure and
simple recreation-rather bloody some
times, with an after smell of arnica,
but it had its rewards. 1t required grit
and certain bravery, and while you
were sailing through midair on a fifty
six inch wheel you felt that you are of
some Importance.
These safeties any little boarding
school miss or any superannuated old
preacher can mount and ride. To go
creeping along the road on one of these
dwarfed wheels isn't much fun. Half

CATTLE AND MUSIC.
Curious Observations on an Interestin,
Subject

Curious Observations on an Interesting
Subject
An English writer on the Effects Of
Musical Sounds on Animals has pub
lished some curious observations on this
subject. A few Of these relating TO
oxen and cows viii be of interest
Opposite TO our house was a large
field, in which some twelve or thirteen
cows were put during the summer
months. One day a German band be-
gan TO play on the road which divided
the house from the field. The cows
were quietly grazing at the other end
Of the field, bat no sooner did they
hear the music than they at once adj
vanced toward it and stood with their
heads over the wall attentively listen
ing.
This might have passed unnoticed
but upon the musicians going away the
animals followed them, and when they
could get no further stood lowing pite-
ously. So excited did the cows become
that some Of them ran round and round
the field to try and get out; but, finding
no outlet, returned to the same corner
where they had lost sight of the band,
and it was some time before they
seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds
were really gone.
| have often noticed the power music
has over oxen. The other day we had
a brass band playing in our garden. In
a field adjoining were four Scotch oxen.
When the band struck up they were
at the far end of nine-acre field, quite
out of sight, the field being very I'M
even. They set off full trot to the gar
den wall, put their necks over. and re-
manned SO till the tune was finished,
when they went back to Craze; but as
soon as the music struck up again they
came and put their heads once more
over the wall. This went on till the
band left, after which they ate little all
day, and were continually lowing.
There are many anecdotes that show
that the OK or COW has musical ear.
The carts in Corunna, in Spain, make so
loud and disagreeable a creaking sound
with their wheels, for the want of oil.
that tho governor once issued an order
to have the wheels creased, but the
carriers petitioned that this might not
be done, as the oxen liked the sound,
and would not draw as well without
their accustomed music.

Judge Siebecker would have given this

One thing is certain. every republican

the guilty person or persons be ferreted

against the ex-treasurers must be settled

Those Treasury Suits.

A very large sensation is evidently in
the air over the treasury suits. Judge
Sicbecker, tefere whom the suit of the
State VS. Ex-treasuer Harshaw was to
have come last Tuesday, announced
almost at the last moment. that crcum-
stances had rsan making an impartial
trial before him impossible The con-
sequence is the ease cannot be heard
until some other Judge is found at
liberty 10 try it. Judge Siebecker de-
clines to give his reason until after the
trial on the ground that disclosure
win prejudice the case. no matter what
Judge it comes before.
This Is a very gra,e state of affairs,
and one every good citizen OF the State,
of whatever party will b. restless under,
as it implies attempted influence OF
intimidation from one side or the other.

known to admit of the supposition that

CONCERNING THE STARS.
The Word 'Fixed" Applied 10 Heavenly
bodies Gives Wrong Impression.

The Word ''Fixed" Applied TO Heavenly
Bodies Gives Wrong impression.
Astronomers tell us that the term
fixed" applied to the stars is a mistake
for it is now known that there is not a
fixed star in the heavens, and probably
no such condition as absolute rest in the
universe. All the stars are III motion,
and some Of them are moving at the
rate of two hundred and fifty thousand
miles an hour, or more that thrice the
velocity OF our earth on its orbit It
might be thought that this constant
motion wouldproduce continual changes
in the stellar relations and alter the
face of the heavens every few years.
But the vast distances at which the
stars are set from us destroy the visual
effect of their motion, and preserve the
unchanging aspect of the heavens.
None of the consultations have suf-
cred a dislocation in three thousand
years. Sirius, Arcturus and the Pleiades
are still in their places. Although the
eighty-one stars in Orion have ever been
in motion, each without relation to any
other, the mighty figure is as it ap-
peared to the man of Uz forty centuries
ago.

Hair turned suddenly white

William Gormly is farmer near
Newcastle. He has been making a
tunnel in the side of the hill to a spring
for the purpose of carrying water to a
field below. John Grimes was en-
ploye[. to dig the tunnel. When he had
proceeded about thirty feet into the hill
and was about twenty feet from the
surface, he found himself in a cavelike
hollow, the roof of which was rock, in
which there was a crack from which he
could see light. When he reached the
hollow or cave the hill apparently sank
in where he had been digging and he
found himself a prisoner twenty feet
under ground. He called for help
and later Mr.. Gormly procured assist
ance, and, after working all night, re-
leased him the next day, after being in
the hole eighteen hours. Mr.. Grimes
hair was jet-black when he entered the
tunnel, but it turned snow-white during
the time he w rs imprisoned.

it was because they tried to retain Con-
gresham LaFollette Is too absurd In

people that he would not do 50, has re-
