. HIS HAIR BLEEDS.
qhe Prof , ser IIas to Co to Bed After Sle
Fl"ssiug Locks Are Trimmed.
i Profcior Amery is a tailor on Gcary
1'atreet. Li appearance he is small and
alert , with piercing black eyes and finely -
ly cut profile. As ho walks along the
street lie looks like any ordinary man ,
I : o : Ono does not see that ho ; vears on
the very top of his head a large roll of
flue black or very dark brown hair. His
ht ho wears drawn down almost.over
I hig ears for fear cnrious eyes will find
# outwhat a strange and luxurious growth
he has.
I The way lie found out the peculiarity
I of his hair in bleedingwas this : Several
I yca3 ago he had his hair cut for con-
veaiencc and to keep pcoplo from looking -
ing at him as if he were a musemn
freak. No sooner was the hair off than
ho took to his bed , almost completely
shattered in health , and was compelled
to stay there until he had gained enough
strength to take care of himself. After
that ho let his hair plouo for awhile.
Seven months ago he was seized with
a desir , to cut it off again , and as the
result ho was in bed , prostrated and unable -
able to care for himself.
"Lut I have found out how to man.
age it now , " saii the long haired man.
"There is a time of the moon when the
hair can ho cut without harm. The
reason I suffer I have justfound out. It
is because the hair bleeds.
"What is the meaning of that ? "
"By bleeding I mean that the sap
runs out at the ends of the hairs , just
as it does in young trees. That sap , considering
sidering that my hair grows so fast , aid
long and is so altogether unusual , takes
my strength out with it. It reminds
you of the Biblical story , doesn't it ?
Well , it's true , and much on the same
lines. " 3
The professor's physique , he said , was
still weak from the effects of the last
cutting. His hands shook from nervousness -
ness , although ho was sitting in his
chair quito composed. The professor up-
years to bo in a fix. He cannot have
his hair cut because it weakens him ,
and ho cannot let it grow because it
, takes all of his strength to support it.
Amery was born in Maine some 10
years ago. He had a sister with the
same physical trait and two half broth-
ers.-San Francisco Letter.

A WONDERFUL OLD COUPLE.
A Ithode Island Pair Who Lived Together
Seveuty-eight Tears.
Lawton Sherman , who died at Prov-
idenee the other day , aged 99 years , and
his wife , who survives him , were the
most remarkable couple , in respect of
the duration of their marital relations ,
probably in the annals of Rhode Island.
Mrs. Sherman is 99 years old , and her
health is rapidly failing. The couple ,
both of them natives of Exeter , were
married in this place on March 17 , 1816.
Some years later they removed to Providence -
idence , cud Mr. Sherman engaged in
business in that city. They had seven
children , two girls and five boys , and
four of the children are still living.
In 1891 the venerable couple cele-
bratcd their diamond wedding , keeping
open house all day , and a little army of
friends called to see them , coming from
all party of the plantations. At the time
of the old man's death the couple had
dwelt together 78 years.
Mr. Sherman 'was amason and whitewasher -
washer , and it is an interesting fact
that in the past 20 years ho had whitewashed -
washed the walls and ceilings of one
dwelling in Cranston street , Providence ,
each season without an exception. He
never was ill , and ho died of old age.
His wife has been all her life almost
equally healthy and vigorous. Both
lived in the administration of every
president of the United States. Mrs.
Sherman was born on Juno 7 , 1795.
Itwas a remarkable gathering of people
plo that attended the old man's funeral
in his modest and quaint little antique
low brewed cottage in Providence.
There were his aged wife , four children ,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
His oldest child is 76 and his youngest
61.-Exeter ( R. L ) Telegram.
The Paris Anarchist Satre.
Persons who assume to know what
the French anarchists are doing-and I
have had proof of the genuineness of
their-information within the past year
-tell me they will seek to establish a
reign of terror in Paris in October. The
police are convinced that mischief more
serious than any yet attempted is brew-
ing. The fact that these fears are so definite -
nite is the best assurance that they may
not ho realized , for the expected seldom
happens in France , especially in such
matters.
There are no apprehensions among the
public. The anarchist scare would have
quite died down save for the fact that
there is a growing restlessness among
the Paris lower classes , duo perhaps to
the periodical demand of the French
nature for excitement It has been an
unusually quiet summer in the French
capital.-Paris Correspondent.
A historical Bock Demolished.
The peculiar shaped rock which stood
on the parade grounds near Fort Clinton -
ton has been blown into a thousand
fragments. Workmen have been engaged -
ed during the past week drilling holes
in the old landmark. The rock had been
a trysting place and furnished shelter
for the cadets since the founding of the
academy. Several years ago a proposition -
tion was mach : to blow it up , but General -
eral Sherman indignantly protested
against its destruction. The limited
space for military maneuvers has made
its removal imperative. A legend cxists
that when the first Christian missionaries -
aries came among the Indian tribes in
the highlands this rock was their pul-
pit-West Point ( N. Y. ) Dispatch.

AN OBSERVER.
A CHANGE TO MAKa MONEY.
The tiules are hard , but there
always seems to be opportunities
for those who.are willing to work.
In the past month I have made
$ lfr above all expenses , selling
Climax Dish Washers , and have
attended to my regular business
besides. I never saw anything
that gave as general satisfaction.
One should not complain where
they can make over $6 a day ,
right at home. I have not can-I
vassed any , so anxious are people
for Climax Dish Washers , that ,
they send after them ; any lady or
gentleman can'do as well as I am
doing , for anyone can sell what
everyone wants to buy. I think
we should inform each other
through the newspapers of opportunities -
tunities ; like this , as there are
many willing to work if they oul y
knew of an opening. For full
particulars , address the Climax
Mfg , Co. , Columbus , Ohio. After
you have tried the business a week , I
publish the results for the benefit
of others. . Ii i I
