STRANGELY REUNITED.
Advertised for Wife and Found the
One He Had Lost Twenty one
Years Ago.

After separation lasting twenty-one
years, John H. Morrison and his wife
have been reunited. In 1865 Squire
Morrison welded Miss Fry, in York
county, and five years later came here
to reside. He remained here for two
years, and, meeting business reverses,
went West, leaving his wife and four
daughters here, and nothing was heard
of him until last March, when an ad-
vertisement for wife appeared in a
Harrisburg paper signed John H.
Morrison 1t was seen by one of bis
daughters She answered it. Morri-
son received on answers to his adver-
tisement, but replied only to the one
written by his daughter. In the cor
respondence that followed their rela-
tionship was disclosed, and when he
learned his wife was still living he made
arrangements to take her to his Western
home. A letter received yesterday
states that they recognized each other
on sight at the railway station in Okla
homa. -LancaStey (Pa.) Press.

HOW TO BE BALDHEADED.
If You Long For This Sign Of Culture,
You Can Get 1t.

A medical authority claims that bald
ness is a product and sign of culture.
If badness is sign Of culture, some
thing devoutly to be wished, we shall
perform a public service in showing
how this condition can be quickly
reached.
1--WE lose in the course of time"
said Voltare, "our teeth, our hair and
our ideas" That may be true as far
as the teeth and ideas are concerned,
but we cannot always depend on losing
our hair.
Persons who long for proofs of cul-
ture must resort at once to the methods
of art. The first good rule is to keep
the head warm. In summer, if you
wish to become bald, do not wear a
straw hat. On the contrary let your
headgear be felt or cloth hat, derby
or a stovepipe. In winter always wear
a fur cap. While in the house, at all
times of the year, do not fail to wear a
fez or an oil cap.
Women whose light hats do not wear
off the hair rapidly enough may accom-
plsh that end by using heavy switches
of false hair, which will work even more
rapidly than fur cap, as the hair will
fall out by the hundreds when the roll
is heavy enough. The beloved night
cap, SO dear to our grandmothers, is to
be highly recommended also. The he'll
met of the officer and policeman is also
a splendid invention. What is the effect
of these head coverings They make
the head perspre.
Moisture is the deadly enemy to hair.
On the temples and the back of the
head near the neck, usually untouched
by hats and caps, it is seldom that one
sees badness. A bald ring often marks
the position of the hat or cap. Our
young handles who curry their heads
every morning with two brushes and in
the course OF day comb their hair
whenever they see mirror are on the
right path to badness. That is also
true of women who allow their hair to
be combed by Impractical servants

Receptacle For Wells.

A pretty veil holder is made Of a
board about IL by 8 inches in size,
neatly covered with a piece of india
silk or brocade. On one side of the
board underneath the silk place few
layers of cotton batting, with sachet
powder scattered over it. On this same
side outside the silk sew two bands OF
white or colored elastic to match the
covering, attaching them to the silk at
the ends only and letting them run
parallel across the length of the board 4
inches apart. Under these the veiis
when folded are easily slipped and kept
in place.

SMOKELESS COAL.
A Large Deposit of Peculiar Fue
Discovered in Arkansas.


John B. Clements, of the Christy
Fire Clay Company, has secured an
option on 6ooo acres of coal land in
the Ouchta River district in Arkansas,
which may 60 far toward solving the
smoke question. 1t can be burned on
the floor in parlor without giving off
any smoke. Mr.. Clements has been
after the property for some time, and
has had the coal tested at the Christy
works, the Crystal Plate Glass Works,
the Beileville Gas Works and other
places. A shipment of it is to be
received at the st. Louis Sanitary
works, to be tested there.
The coal is found in large deposit,
the vein being fortytwo inches wide
1t contains 20 per cent. of OIL, which
has been found to be very valuable in
making paint. A bar of iron painted
with it has been placed in fire and
submitted to an intense heat without
disturbing the paint. 1t is also claimed
that it is much better for gas than Pitts
burg coal, which is used here entirely.
The .only question is said to be the
expense in placing the coal on the
market here. AS far as can now be
seen it can be mined and placed on the
barge at 50 cents ton, and can be
landed here at $3.50 al a good profit.
If this proves to be true, it is said Mr..
Clements has something better than a
gold mine, as the deposit is in mex
haustible supply.-St. Louis Paper.
