STRENGTH and the Hair.

The discussion as to abundance of hair
being evidence of strength has again
come up, some arguing that there was
nothing novel in Samson's strength being
in his hair, and others that as a rule the
strongest men are least blessed with an
abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules, but
most freaks Of strength of modern times
have luxuriant hair. There are five or
six women now travelling with dime
museum shows, lifting enormous
weights with their hands or teeth, and
performing other extraordinary feats of
strength, and nearly all OF them have
magnificent heads of hair.
Among prize fighters the same rule
applies, and although athletes generally
keep their hair cut very close to the
head, they usually have very thick
growth of hair and are seldom bald.
Ancient history is delved into great
deal in the discussion, but the fact re-
mains that the strongest men of today
have in almost every instance not only
heavy heads of hair, but also quite a
substantial growth on the chest and
arms. 1t may be that excessive bodily
vigor and activity promote the growth
of hair, or that the hair itself is an evil
dence of strength, but whichever may
be the cause and the effect, the combi-
nation exists as very general rule

Funerals in the French Capital.

AS rule official funerals strike the
inhabitants of this fair city with the
same CHEEKY enthusiasm as is inspired
In an American town by the announce
ment that Barnum's circus is going to
parade the streets. There is always a
certain constraint in Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries at the sight of funeral, for Anglo
Saxons have a horror and fear of death
which is nonexistent in the French char
acter. The Parisians have no special re-
spect for nor any marked dread of the
king of terrors. If Partisan is bored
or i'll or in trouble or is overburdened by
financial troubles he is very apt to solve
the problem of life by committing sui
eide, and so getting out Of it all with
perfect philosophy and serene indiffer-
ence. Life in Paris runs much more
smoothly from the fact that no one as q
rule lives to be madly unhappy The
Parisians cease to live when they cease
to enjoy.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia Tele

The total amount of money taken

annum if all its tickets are sold is
$28,000,0O0, and the largest possible
amount that can be drawn by the

SO that the lottery puts into its own

good amounts to $13,000,000 or more

Did you ever hear of man who was
victim of the oyster habit? The writer
was in an uptown cafe the other even

big framed man came in and ordered
Blue Point oysters. He ate dozen, or
dered another dozen, then third dozen,
hesitated. as if in doubt, paid his check
and went out Three dozen oysters
right down made ones eyes open, but
the waiter said: "Oh, that's nothing.
He comes in here every night for raw
oysters. Sometimes he eats three dozen,
sometimes four dozen. He's what | call
an oyster eater. | don't believe he eats
anything else. New York Tribune

A Unwelcome Christmas Present.

A UNIV tlCDilt tHi lotih"o l. "'Sfi''
The Platteville News.
While on his way home Friday
evening Mr.. John Brodbeck received a
Christmas present, as unwelcome as it
was unexpected. When in front of the
Cverton place on Slab street he met
two men, one of whom, without any
preliminaries, knocked him down by a
blow across the head with cord wood
stick. John made his escape but was
followed to his own gate by the rufIians,
one of whom threw the stick at him
Just as he reached the door. a clue
to the perpetrators is being followed.
This attempt was as bold as it was
dastardly, taking place as it did before
ten o'clock at night within half a block
of business street. Mr.. B. was badly
bruised but was attending to work next
day. No attempt was made at robbery,
and as the victim has no enmeies who
would be expected to resort to such
viIlainy it is supposed that they mis-
took him for some one else.

Ex-Alderman John O.. Wirsching,
fell from a tree Wednesday and sus-
taided injuries that caused his death
two hours later. The accident hap
pened about 80 o'clock, when he was
busted in trimming tree in front Of
the house on High street owned by
him and occupied by Postmaster
Rotter. The accident was witnessed
by no one and how it happened is not
known. Mr.. Wirsching was saving
off a limb at an elevation of fifteen
feet, when he missed his footing and
was throwing to the ground. He was
picked up unconscious and Doctors
Fowler and Werlich were summoned.
Before their arrival he was removed to
his home on Washington street. The
physicians saw at the first glance that
his case was hopeless, and an examin
alton showed that in addition to a
conclusion of ths brain and injury of
the spine he was hurt internally. He
fingered in comatose condition until
4 o'clock when he passed away.

A TEACHER.

Preachers have preached me sermons,
| have slept their sermons through;
All my relations have lectured,
My friends have lectured too.
My foes have given me warnings,
And l have taken them not;
Friends and foes and relations
never needed jot.
Their words were the essence of wisdom,
There was nothing they didn't foresee;
And not one atom of all they said
Has ever remained with me.
They were staid and pallid and solemn,
They were gray and wrinkled and old;
My teacher has cheeks of roses
And hair of the suns own gold.
His words run into each other,
He stammers and abbles and cries;
He doesn't know he is powerful,
He never dreams he is wise.
But in three short years he has taught me
More than those graybeards staid
Had taught in the seven and thirty
Before he came to their aid.
