When the teller of a panther story

or stood on end, or lifted his hat, says
Forest and Stream.
The notion-if it be a notion-that

old one and venerable for its antiquity.

"F'ear came upon me, and trembling, which
made all my bones to shake. Then spirit
passed before my face; the hair of my flesh
stood up
Docs not Virgil make his hero's hair
stand on end in that vox faueibus hoeset
passage? Thus Coningtons transla-
ton:
While thus in agony pressed
From house to house the endless quest
The pale sad specter Of my wife
Confronts me, larger than in life.
Istood appalled,, ny hair erect,
And fear my tongue-tied utterances checked
We have Macbeth's testimony:
Why do yield to that suggestion
Whose horrfd image doth unfx my hair
And make my seated heart knock at rly ribs,
Against the use of nature?
And says the ghost in Hamlet:
I could tale unfold. whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young
blood;
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their
spheres;
Thy knotted and combined locks to part.
And each particular hair to stand on end
Like quilts upon the fretful porcupine.
No doubt thousand and one in
stances of rising of hair might be cited
from literature, ancient and modern,
from the book of Job to this day.
But does fright raise the hair? The
scientific authorities assure us that the
hair-raising belief is notion without a

never had an opportunity to note just
what does happen toa mans hair when

OLD VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY.
The House May Be Countless, But the
Welcome Is None the Less Hearty.

The House May Be Countless, But the
Welcome Is None the Less Hearty.
On a bright summer morning early in
the eighties, with my father, left Ber-
ryville, in Clarke county, and drove east
across the Shenandoah river, up the
road to Smokers Gap, in the Blue
Ridge, says a writer in the Richmond
Dispatch. There we turned south to
visit point where shooting affair had
occurred, in which my father was in
terested as an attorney. On account of
the many winding roads we became
lost and drove beyond the place we ex-
pected to reach. In a short time, how
ever, we heard a rooster growing, and,
farm. We drove in and were greeted
by an old gentleman who was at least
four score and two His home was
simple one, but the right royal welcome
that he gave us was as cheering as "a
rock in weary land, 2 and as free from
deception as dross is foreign to tenn
pered steel The patriot was a great
admirer of "Old Hickory and had
strong views about the affairs of the
day. There hung his trusty rifle over
the door, and everything showed a sign
of rural independence. A large dagger
was sticking between the upper floor
and one of the joists. 81 had that
made,'' said he, ssfor some of our sol
diers, but it was never used. The
wimmen folks got hold of it here last
spring and chopped pea-sticks with it
and dulled it all up. just like 'em,
though"
The next morning when we arose we
were unable to find comb or brush.
When we asked our friend about it, he
said: "Why, can't you find it? |
bought comb directly after the war,
but reckon the wimmen have been usin
it, and there's no tellin' where it is.
Wimmen are heap o. trouble about
such things" Despite these facts, that
afternoon dinner, supper by early
and breakfast near the
rising of the sun, will long be remem-
bered. That old ham, oven-balzed bis
cults, solid butter, clover honey, rich |
milk, blackberry preserves, ice-cold |
water from the mountain spring, and |
those kind hearts have ever since been
us to return once again to the |
spot where we learned that ''old Vir-
ginia hospitality is as native to our
humble homes as it is to our richly fur
nished mansions with their marble
halls.

power as had not yet been imagined 1t
was his intention to charge this gigan-

solitude. Happily, great authority
called at the moment and received an
invitation to assist. When he saw the
preparations his face paled. Neither
he nor anyone else could foretell what
would happen if that twenty-foot mag
net were set to work; but it was prob
able, at least, that the house would fall.

The Balsilnors American says that
the indigratian Of the passengers on a
Western md train was aTpvsed
the other cay by the unusual spectacle
of a richly clad boy Of five or six years,
whose legs and feet were perfectly
bare, although the dry was cold one.
The child was accompanied by his
mother and sister, who were evidently
people OF wealth and refinement On
inquiry it was learned that the boy was
the son Of a prominent physician, who
had lost several children with throat
diseases, until he hit on the idea OF
turning his children out barefooted.
The experiment proved to be a perfect
success. The barefooted boy was the
picture of health. At the union station
in Baltimore he ran around on che cold
bricks totally unaware of any discom-
fort. People are constantly shocked
and amazed at seeing the children of
this gentleman going about barefooted,
winter and summer, but inasmuch as it
saves their lives, in his opinion, he is in
different to criticism.

estimate, there must be at least four

turned savagely to his writing and

was as welcome to the latter as Wees
merciless attack had been unexpected.
He allowed himself few mo-
ments in which to regain his
equilibrium (for, notwithstanding
the calm exterior that he had
succeeded in preserving, he had felt
greatly disturbed by Wees harangue);
then noticing on the desk beside him a
folded newspaper, he took it up and
scanned it idly. It proved to be a New
York daily of recent date, and on the
margin he saw Ollins name.
Before unfolding the paper he drew
from his pocket a cigar, and lighted it,
so entirely from the force of habit and
the association of ideas by which, in
his mind, newspapers and cigars were
inseparably connected, that he was only
half conscious of the act.
With the first puff of fragrant smoke
he had finally settled himself to glance
over the paper when Wee looked up and
