A TEN-FooT HEAD OF HAIR.

1t Belongs to a Delicate Little Texas
Woman Who Is Proud Of 1t.
The longest suit of hair in the world
is perhaps that which grows on the
head of Miss Asenath Philpott, OF
Gainesville, Tex, hers trailing on the
ground when she stands nearly four
feet, and measuring in all ten feet and
seven inches. Miss Philpott is slight,
delicate woman, approaching middle
age and regards her magnificent tresses
as rather a nuisance, complaining
that their weight actually drains her
strength.
The present growth is of the past
seven years, as in 1884 her head was
shaved during O spell of brain fever.
1t is necessary to her health to cut
out large quantities of hair every few
months, and this she has a regular
sale for from some large wig manufac-
tory in the East, which pays her we'll
for it, as its fineness and silky gloss is
exceptional, besides being of a much
admired red gold tint.
Miss Philpott says she has been sew
eral times approached by enterprising
proprietors of dime museums, who
have made her offers to travel with
them as freak, and has also been re-
quested to act as agent for sundry
hair tonics. She claims that her fami-
ly have for generations been noted for
the beauty and length of their hirsute
ornaments, her grandfather having a
beard that fell to his feet and being
obliged to cut his hair every day or
two. Her mothers hair was such
that when she lay in her coffin it en-
wrapped her from head to foot and
was then obliged to be folded back
several times.

RattleSnaka Bluff,

There are many who believe that
the most deadly and venomous SER
pent, the rattlesnake, is extinct in
Indiana but such is not the case. In
Knox, Daviess, Martin and Brown
Counties these reptiles are frequently
observed and killed.
Occasionally one is captured alive
by those peculiar individuals known
as snake charmers, and readily sells
for q good price. In Knox County,
on the Wabash River, there is q place
known as "Rattlesnake, Bluff" a very
rough and picturesque spot, but one
seldom visited except in the winter
season, on account of it's being known
as the abode of these reptiles. In
other parts of that county these
snakes are seldom seen, as they are
cumming enough to shun civilization.
Rattlesnake Bluff is unlike many
other bluffs in this part of the State
in that it is covered with boulders or
''nigger-head" stones of all sizes. These
stones have been the abode of these
snakes, and, while they have decreas-
ed in other localities,# in this one
there appears to be particularly
constant increase. 1t is estimated
that fully 300 OF these snakes perish
ed at the hands OF the inhabitants In
1890.
Immediately after the recent cold
wave, when mercury ranged about the
zero point, an organized force of men
set about to hunt down and destroy
these reptiles in their winter quarters.
Every stone not too large to be NOV
ed was turned from the spot it had
lain in for centuries and the larger
ones blown to pieces with dynamite,
and ITO snakes we're killed, The work
of determination will be continued
from time to time with a hope oftheir
final extinction.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Four generations of the Cassini
family have filed positions of honor
as directors of the observatory at
Paris. -
First on the list was Giovanni Dom
enico Cassini; he was a learned man,
and was known as an astronomer,
astrologist, and Professorof Astrono-
my at Bolonga University. He died
at the ripe age OF eighty-seven in 1712.
jacques Cassini followed his father
in professional cares, and was greatly
esteemed for learning aud wisdom; his
death occurred in 1856.
Cesar Francois Cassini, and later
his son Jacques, in turn walked in the
steps of their forefathers, the elder
yielding up his cares and his life at the
age of seventy, and the fourth and
last when long past fourscore.

Edison a Vegetarian.

Thomas A. Edison, according to a
friend OF his, is a vegetarian, eschewing
flesh, fowl and fish. He enioysfruit of
all kind, grain OF every variety, and
likewise vegetables, especially those
that ripon in the sunshine, Heis very
careful about his diet, holding that it
has q powerful Influence upon the
mind and its actions as we'll as upon
the health and vigor OF the body. He
has studied the matter under the
beams OF the solar orb, under the
flash OF electricity, under the laws of
science an in the light of reason. 1t
seems that he is unaware of anything
like self-denial in the practice of vege-
tarianism, and that he finds plenty of
delicious, invigorating and exhilara-
ting esrulents outside of flesh, fowl and
fsh.-New York Sun.

- sRAVE MAN.

In wars grim battle lines he'd stood,
Where bullets flew the thickeeSt;
For desperate deeds of hardihood
He volunteered the quickest.
No danger could his soul appeal,
His spirits nought e'er blunted,
In tropic jungles of Bengal
The tiger he had hunted,
He'd sought the bear mid Arctic snow,
And DER the ice he'd chased it
In fact no peril, earth could show,
But this brave man had faced it.
He'd slain the mighty elephant
Upon the scOrched equator
But yet, though built of adamant,
He dared not leave a restaurant
Unless he'd tipped the waiter!

put on his old clothes, and Shopping

borrowed some lime and whitewash-
brushes, and went about restoring
walls and goodwill, while cursing the
dignity which had nearly starved him.
