Petroleum as Hair psrsuadsr.

Not suspicion of hair remained on
the cranlum of Pennsylvania engineer.
He had heard of petroleum as hair
restorer, and, as he ran into the oil re-
gions, daily, decided to try it. Procur-
ing a felt skull-cap he lined it with cotton
waste from the cab aud continually kert
1t moist with the crude oil. His duties
occupied his attention and he soon be-
came accustomed to the odor. In few
weeks he was surprised by silky down
which made his head feel soft to the
touch, and in few months astonlshed
his friends with beautiful crop of short
curly hair.
Being almost bald myself last May,
writes one who subscribes himself as

appeared. / am still oiling my poll with

A Curious Old Watch,

Charles 8. Nelson, q painter living in
Chicago, ILL.,, recently received from his
father, who resides in Copenhagen, Dem
mark, watch, which it is claimed is
400 years old. Accompanying the watch
are records which prove it to hive been
in the possession of the family for 200
years.
This timepiece is smaller in circumfer-
ence than the watches of the present day,
but it is three times as thick and re-
sembles sphere cut in half. The face
is open and the case is silver, bearing
carving of Cleopatra on her way down
the Nile: On the face are two dials., 9ps
the minutes, hours, days of the week
and of the month, there being separate
hands for each. On the inner dial are
representations Of the sun, moon and
stare. As the day wanes the sun becomes
darkened and the moon and the stars
shine, the inner dial being illuminated.
How this is accomplished seems to be un-
known.
The works IRE OF hardened gold and
are very intricate, but only require wind
ing once every three weeks. The watch
was wound up on leaving its Scandina-
Wan home, and was going on arriving in
Chicago, but was day ahead. Mr..
Nelson took it to some Of the leading
watchmakers to have this defect reme-
died, but they refused to undertake the
job, owing to the intricate machinery OF
the watch.
That It can be repaired the records
which show it to have been 1876 years in
the family set forth, for 174 years ago il
was put to rights in Amsterdam, 14S
years ago it was regulated in Hamburg,
eighty-five years it was repaired in
/. Copenhagen, and in 1864 it was put in
I order at Westervig, Denmark, by l. G.
Christensen, a jeweler, who is now hv-
ing somewhere on the North Side, in
Chicago. The maker of this interesting
chronometer was Steuter, of Amsterdam,
but no date is given. Mr.. Nelson showed
the watch to jeweler, who offered $1,000
for it, but Mr.. Nelson declined it, and
intends to retain the heirloom In the
family.-Ne,o York Telegram.

BY THE MORNING LIGHT.

Oh. glad and red, the light Of morn
Across the field of battle broke
And showed the waste of trampled corn
And smouldering farmsteads wrapped In
smoke;
And cold and stark the soldier lay,
Shot down beside his shattered gun;
And grimly splashed with blood and clay,
His face looked ghastly in the sun.
Oh, glad and red, tho morning shons
In happy England far away,
Where knelt a bright-haired little ono
Beside her mothers knee to pray.
And prompting each fond faltering word,
!. The soldiers wife was glad and smiled;
-She knew not twas a widow heard
The prattle OF an orphan child.
Oh, glad and red, oh, glad and red
The morning light glowed everywhere;
And one beam touched the father dead,
And one the child who knelt in prayer:
And from the trampled corn and clay
A skylark sprang with joyous breast,
For shot and shell had spared that day
Its four brown eggs and little nest.
