A GOLDEN HALO FOR HER.

The wires holding it up were connected with a ba ttery and the current could be switched on and off at will. The day I WAS there he gdt his siSter-in- law to come QUE and stand under the zinc. first I9tting down her hadr, which
 was chestnut in color. and fell in thick tresses clear below her waist When he turned on the currer't, q wonderful thing happened. That magnificent chestnut malle rose bodily upward and waved Ou; falgWise in every direction from. her head lik~ rays from star. It literally framed her face in q gold fin brown ihalo t.INt must have naeasur- ed nearly seven feet from isde to side The long locks or her crown stood neal1y erect and reached to within q fO0t CT So of the zine. and all through the mass was q faint rippling mo
 like sunlight on water. The young la dy who posed for us was under any circumstances decidedly pretty, but with her hair oulsspread in' that extra ordinary manns r.she looked like q god desss The phenomenon was due. of comS,s, to the attraction of electricity with which the zine plaie was charged and was merely repeating on a big scale an experiment I have often per formed at school. There we used to hold stfck of well rubbed sealing WAX over the head of a small doll and see it's hair stand on end. I should think the zinc plate apparatus might be put to effective use on the stage. - New Orleans Times Democrat.

AN UNCONSCIOUS INTERVIEW.
Col. Ingersoll Didn't Write What he
 Had to Say to ! Reporter.

\ few weeks go the city ed&or Of the Blade said to me as the parer was going to press: 'rCol. Ingersoll is in town. You ind better go over to the Pe0dy and interview him for tomor- rows paper
 is 1 left the office the edi volun- teerod the further information, that 1 had better take pad With me. as the Or1y way in which the Colonel would submit to be interviewed WIS to have a lisr of questions. and then he himself would Write the answers.
 I hastily put few sheets of paper in my pocket. but determined not to Use them if possible, for 1t has always been my theory that q man or woman never talks as well if pencil and Taper are in sight. When I arrived af the BoOdy and sent up my card the boy brought the answer that l should come direct ly to the room.
 AS the door was opened by Colonel Ingersoll himself. 1 caught q glimpse of Mrs IngeIsoll in low chair by the grate 1 happered to have friends who w-eIe old friends of the 1ngerSOls, and 90 mastered to speak of them. Their names proved an open sesame. and in q very few naOmeTls we were all three in q deep discussion of Shakespeare.
 Occasionally the Colonel would bring in some of his daring disbelief, but 1 got the impression that evening that Mrs. Ingersoll was even a more rad icaI agnostic than her husband.
 It was delightful to see them sitting there, both so perfectly in accord with each other. AhIs. IngeIsoH would often supply the Colonel with the Shakes pearecln quotation that he needed.and there was always that little look be- tween them which told the observer lat they were not only lovers, but friends and companions.
 After about q half hours conversa- ton. something that l asked brought 10 the Colonel's mind the fact that l belonged to the newspaper fraternity, and. drawing himself up, and with 9 somewhat ssern look upon his face, he asked:
 Do you want to interview me:''
 I answered with q smile T was r;-r9ar the impression that l was iL'ter- viewing you.
 Mrs. Ingersoll broke out into I merry laugh and said, ''She has you this time"
 The Colonel then said that it was the first time in twenty years that he had allowed himself to talk" before a newspaper reporter. He always insist ed on them writing their questions out and he would write the answers.
 He was particularly kind to me, how
