 "It has been my i'll luck," said Nor ace Marston, of Portland, Me, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. several times to witness painful accidents, and they had once or twice ] curious effect on the sufferer. Years ago I was stand ing beside a gun at a state muster al Augusta, when a salute to the gov ernor, who had just come on the field. was being fired. The cannon used was of the old-fashioned kind, and 1t was oreInaturely discharged, with the res suit that the index finger of the right hand of the man ramming the load home was blown off The shock, to- gether with the Judgement of flying particles of powder, had the effect of driving the blood back from the wound, during which fragment of time the injured man calmly examined his mangled hand; but when the blood did come back tt came with a rush, anG fairly bubbled out in a torrent. The mans calmness left him as if by magic at the sight of the blood, and with loud scream he keeled over in a dead faint. They used to tell story thers of two men who were working on op posite sides of buzz saw. The atten' ton of one becoming naomentarily dis traeted, he ran his finger against the saw, and the severed piece dropped on the other side where his partner was working. That worthy picked it up, and with the casual remark, Bill, you've dropped something.' handed it back to it's owner. Bill didn't faint, but it is only owing to the superior burst of speed developed by his part ner that he is not dolng time for homicide with extenuating circuni- stances at Thomaston today

History oi Every Nation Mentions Wigs
 Very Early.
 The first wig mentioned in history was made out of goats skin and was Eorn by the daughter of Saul, king of Israel. The first artistic wigs were made in the south of Italy for {ae Gapiniens, who lived in Apalia, ant were known for the Iuxures of their toilet. These people were, they say. the first who painted their faces; this they did with the juice of strawberries. 2enophon relates that little Cyrus. when he visited Astyages, his grand father, whose eyes were framed ii blue paint and who wore an enormous w1g, threw himself on his knees and 6ried; 70, mother, what 6 beautiful grandfather have!" The Phoenician women, who were proud of their hair, having be~A ordered by their priests so offer it up on the altars dedicated to Venus after the death of Adonls, obeyed but with murmuring. Soon they were e0nsoled by a Greek merchant who told them that he would give them the means of hiding their bald pates under luxuriant curls. In his chariot be had hundreds of wigs Of all coiors. Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward the end of the republic, and so well made that, says Ovid, No man could know if his wife had any hair at all before she had given him an oppor- ttnity of seizing her by the tresses. g Tentonic peasants were the providers of blond hair for rich Roman prin. tesses, who loved the contrast of it's tiaxen hue with their black eyes. They even had morning wigs, small and lightly eurlad, of any color, and kept the beautiful fair ones to receive their admirers at night. Messalina had 15e wigs to disguise herself.-Exehang
