UNIQUE WEDDING OF MuTEs
Bride ana Groom Speak DLMeren ( Bang uages in Finger Talk and Ars
 Acquainted Four Days.

A wedding with unusual features was held the other morning at the residence of Justice N. A. Ladd, at Madison, Wis.,, when Michael Wolf, of Arcadia, Wis, and Miss Bessie Ander. son. . pretty Madison girl, both deaf mutes were married. The couple met for the first time only four days ago and spent the intervening time in courting, get. ting acquainted and dsvising coni. mon language, for the groom, being a German, cannot understand writ- ten English nor the reading of tho lips, by which his more accomplished bride receives communication from friends. He uses finger talk" entire ly. None of the paren ts of either of the principals is deaf mute. MT. Wolf Is stone cutter, the son of well-to-do parents, while his bride lived at Madison with her mother and stepfather. Owing to the language difficulty, the questions and answers of the wedding ceremony were re- iuced to writing, a long, amusing and paptomimic performance. They were attended by MT. and Mrs. Robert Pedder, of Arcadia, also deaf mutes. but who have Q bright, talkative lit-t tie son with them. It was through Mrs. Pedder that their union was brought about. She was the girl chum of the bride at deaf mute school. Recently she proposed mar. riage to her two friends. They found the idea agreeable and she came on and assisted in the details. The bride and groom left for Arcadia, where they will live.

CRAY HAIR AND X-RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for the Miracle Light-ImprObab bility
 of It's Success.

The X-ray seems destined in many ways to pay the penalty of all sorts of sensational reports as to its supposed efficacy in treating intractable diseases. As might have been expected, its claims have been very much exaggerated, even In cases that offered plausible excuses for their possible vindication.
 The latest news Is to the effect that this mysterious agency Is capable of re- storing gray hair to its original color. How such an effect can be brought about no one attempts to explain. Nor would It be wise to offer any reason for it says the New York Herald. in the face of cer- tain well-known facts connected with the physiology of hair and its anatomi- cal character.
 All very we'll know that the color of the hair Is a part of its nutrition and is dependent upon the secretion of pig. ment in certain cells in its substance. When the hair loses Its pigment vitality grayness ensues as natural evolution ary process. The youthful tinge disap- pears by a common law of progressive decay as age advances. The hair itself becomes virtually color dead, and all efforts to restore its former life are ad- mittedly as futile as similar efforts to revivify other defunct processes.
 But now the X-ray must come in as an alleged miracle worker and give new hopes for the gray heads. Alas! many of the latter are desperate enough in their vanity to try any new thing that may present itself. To such 1t may be necessary to sound note of warning.
 Even If 1t should prove to be fact that the X-ray can do what Is claimed. the remedy is certainly dangerous one to become popular. If several hundred exposures" are required, not only will a great deal of valuable time be lost in the sittings and many fees exacted, but the positive damages ensuing after such prolonged treatment are not to be light ly considered. How to avoid the terri ble X-ray burns, which sometimes occur even with experts is still great prob lem. Edison, in recent interview in the Herald. emphasized this fact in a manner not to be misunderstood. Thus there may be chance. with such as may be determined to try the new thing, for the traditional "old fool" to multiply himself over the land.
