great extent. Some of the most adven-
turous few days ago decided upon a
novel entertainment and rapidly com
pleted preparations for the affair. The
greatest secrecy was maintained, but
unfortunately for the girls several young
men were suspicious Of their unusual
activity and managed to obtain clue
to their Object-mOck marriage.
It was held at the home Of Miss Gene
We've ROmmel and was complete sue
cess. Ten Of the girls were attired IN
mems suits, three being IN full dress.
The ceremony was performed IN regular
style. A temporary altar was formed
by table, the minister stood waiting
as the bridal party entered the room,
the bride leaning on the arm Of her pre-
tended father and the bridesmaid fol-
lowing. Then came six ushers in male
attire. The groom and his best man
met them at the altar, where the mock
ceremony was performed with all due
solemnity.
Unfortunately for the girls, three
young men who had discovered their
secret watched the proceedings with q
great deal Of interest, and the whole
town soon heard of it. The poor girls
are now in very embarrassing situa-
ton. Their parents are angry and
shocked, and they are afraid TO venture
on the street to face the laughter of the
people.-Cor. Philadelphia Press.

B.rber,. cIlpper. spread Disease.

When the Young men Of a Paris ar
rUn6issement went last week TO draw
lots for military service. the authorities
were sgh2st at the number Of lads who
presented themselves, each one balder
than the other An inquiry was opened,
and the men were questioned as to how
this state Of things came about. It was
found that they frequented the same
bzrber's shop. and that this wonderful
fall Of hair was due TO their hair having
been dressed by a barber who did not
keep his scissors and brushes sufficiently
clean.
By the orders Of the prefect of the
Seine Dr. Lancereaux made complete
study Of the subject and has just pre-
sented report TO the department coun-
Gil Of hygiene, from which it appearS
that contagious affections of the scalI

A Golden Eagie Captured.

The first golden eagle seen in the north
ern part of Ohio for a great many years
is now a captive at the home Of Joseph
Maynes in Toledo. Mr.. Maynes and
Peter Barquin were frog fishing in a
marsh near the edge Of the city, along a
wooded bluff, and Maynes was just in
the act of spearing a frog when the eagle
swooped down upon him. seizing him be
tween the shoulder blades, its sharp
talons cutting through his overcoat, a
thin undercoat and deeply into the flesh.
The bird beat its wings desperately, and
nearly lifted Maynes from his feet two
or three times.
While the bird was vigorously lacer-
ating his back and shoulders he con-
triyed 10 turn sufficiently to strike it
with his frog spear. He then threw one
arm about the eagles neck and pounded
it upon the head with the spear, while
Barquin came to his assistance, and be-
tween the two they managed TO conquer
1t, and procuring rope fastened it to a
tree till arrangements could be made to
take it to the house. Ii is feet and 9
inches across the wings and weighs 80
pounds. standing 8 feet 2 inches high.
IL is evidently rather young. Old ciui-
zens declare il to be golden eagle. The
plumage is Of dark russet color, nearly
brown. Il has a monstrous head, with
q beak II inches long. Ii ate Is spar
rows for supper, swallowing each one

odd Freak Of a somnambull.t.

Thursday night about II o'clock, as
Professor Lewelen Of Henderson, Tenn,
was passing along the main street In
front of the courthouse, he was aston
ished TO meet Rev. Mr.. Rodgers, the pas
tor Of the Christian church, attired in
only nightshirt and a wide brimmed
straw hat. AS the pastor went by Pro
fessor Lewelen noticed that his eyes were
tightly closed, and surmising that he
was a somnambulist determined to fol-
low him. When Mr.. Rodgers reached
the gate Of the courthouse yard, he en-
tered, closely followed by Professor Lew
ellen, and walking to the south side Of
the courthouse ne grasped the lightning
rod and began to ascend.
Selling him by the shirt, Professor
Lewelen endeavored to pull him down,
but the cloth gave way, and the minister
climbed TO the cornice and then crawled
to the top Of the incline of the roof
Seating himself on the roof, he slid to
the bottom Of the incline, catching by a
slight projection at the very edge. He
continued this performance until the
professor became alarmed, and seiZing
the rope Of the courthouse bell began to
ring for help. The people of the town
assembled in the yard to the number of
nearly 800 and watched the minister's
antics for nearly half an hour. At the
end Of this time he descended the rod,
and passing through the crowd made his
way to his boarding place. On being in
teryiewed the next morning he declared
that he knew nothing of what had hap
pened the night before. He now sleeps
with his leg chained to the bedpost.-
