Her Hair Grew After Death.

A prominent citizen of Warren Sum-
nit, N. H., recently caused the body of
his mother to be disinterred for the pur-
pose of burylng it in another spot, when
it was found that the coffin was COM
pletely enwrapped with the strands of
the lady's hair, even the grave being
filled with the silky masses, which had
to be cut through before the coffin could
be removed. Upon opening the coffin
the remains, with the exception of the
head, were found to have perished, but
the scull was wonderfully preserved and
even the skin intact, and from this had
grown quantity of hair such as no liv-
ing person could carry. The lady has
been dead nearly twenty years, and at
the time of her decease her magnificent
suit of hair had been clipped short, so
that there is no doubt of all that was
found in the coffin having grown after
death. philadelphia Times.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
An electric organ is new.

Electricians predict that the fireworks
of the future will all be electrical.
The first plant in Chicago to employ
electric welding for pipes has just been
established.
An electric drill in an Idaho mine re-

two-inch hole through twenty feet of
solid granite in four hours.
A Portland (Me.) man has discovered
a process for utilizing sawdust by con-
verting it into wood pulp, which makes
an excellent imitation of wood.
An electric transfer table, seventy feet
long, and with capacity of 225, 900
pounds, is now in use in the Denver
shops of the Union Pacific Railroad.
If Photographic prints are immersed

An important industry along Lake

Ball bearings for machinery are rap
idly growing into favor, the savings in
lubricants alone being considered, while
the diminution in friction is said to be
extraordinary.
An automatic sprinkler plant can be
too delicate in its action, as was shown
recently at Falls River, Mass, where

The substitution of camel's hair, cot

The new bureau of the Department of
Agriculture for the microscopic exami-

it is large enough to examine, under the

INNOCENCE.

In bonpy Scotland, cross thesea,
Upon summers day,
A little lass trudged merrily
Along the public way.
And for the first time in her life
This happy peasant lass
Gazed on the world beyond her home
In yonder mountain pass.
With beaming face and happy song
She tripped on toward the town
And reached the borough turnpike gate
Long ere the sun went down.
She gently tapped upon the gate.
Afraid to pass 1t by,
And waited patiently without
For some one to reply.
And when the good old gateman came,
With body long and lean,
She asked, 'Pray, will you tell me, sir,
Am l at Aberdeeng'
''That's where you are, my bonny lass"
Heanswered with grin.
''Then can you tell me, sir" she said,
'If Peggy is within~

The carriage flew along the street, and
before 'Liz'beth could recover her wits

How the getleman hurried up the steps,
and how he rang the bell, and when the
door opened how he flew up the stairs,
crying:

In PART.

Sky, soft skyi
To thee turn mine eye,
And read, the stars between,
One word of what thy glories mean
And then, though much I need,
No more can read.
Wind, sweet wind!
Thy voice to-day is kindl
Thou whisperest In mine ear
Words that just begin to hear;
Thou goest from east to west
Hose the rest.
Earth, glad earth!
To thee owe my birth;
In thy warm lap sit,
Thy tender arms around me knit;
Iquestion. Thou dost say
Now yea, now nay.
Soul, my soul!
Thou canst not know the whole:
The sky can know its star,
The breeze its perfume from afar,
The earth reveal to thee
One mystery.
But soul, my soul!
Thou soon shalt know the whole,
When earth and wind and sky
Have vanished, thy enraptured eye
Shall road the book of fate:
Then wait, oh, wait.

A very pretty idea is carried out in

love of plants and flowers among the
poorer classes. A fund is raised out of
which prizes are paid for the best display

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, HIS they capnot reach
The diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by inf1ampd condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eus achian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have Ium-
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases OUT of ten are caused
by ca'arrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
