tumorous Department. Cured of Hair Hunting. One of the overture stories of this session of congress was told in the cloak room by Senator Nathan R Scott of West Virginia, whose dramatic mode of narration made the tale doubly impressive. It seems that a judge of his acquaintance had a very charming wife, but she was overneat and was forever brushing miscroscopic dust from his clothes: still all went well until she started on the "hair hunt." After that she never sat beside her husband for five minutes but she perceived a hair of some sort on his clothing, and hastened to remove it, be it hair of dog, cat or human being. About this time there came to the town a long-haired lady, possibly one of the Sutherland Sisters, who sat in state at one of the principal hotels, daily exhibiting her seven feet of black hair to an admiring audience. The Judge was present at one of these exhibitions, watched his opportunity and secured a hair. He and his wife were regular attendants at church, and at the Sunday mominc services he suffered most from his wife's hair-finding proclivities. Just as he composed his mind to listen to the reading?the sermon?or even the prayers?he would feel a sudden pluck at some part of his clothing?a hair was discovered?and so on all through the Service. The judge feared that some time he would be heard to say a naughty word in church. On the Sunday after his brief visit to the long-haired lady his last preparation for worship was singular. A corner of his handkerchief was carefully arranged to peep from his coat pocket, and, showing upon the white background, dangled an end of black hair. With marvelous patience he endured the scrutiny of the good lady beside him: her eyes soon reached his pocket, but a chance to secure the hair without attracting attention did not arrive until the sermon began, when the judge crossed his arms and was evidently absorbed in the eloquent utterances from the pulpit. A cautious jerk brought away a foot of black hair?another yank, another foot. There was a little surprise that the end was not reached?a third foot came to light, then a pause to be sure the "hunt was unnoticed. A fourth yank, still no end to that hair. The good lady was exasperated and yank five was energetic?still no end. The thing was like a nightmare; a damp chill came over her, but she was a courageous and determined American woman?yank number six?desperation?talk about nightmare?it was a joke to this! One more pull and sevfoot of hair was on the seat be tween her and the judge. It could not be left there for the sexton to marvel over, so It was hastily thrust under the heavy cover of her hymnbook, while she mopped the perspiration from her lace and fixed her eyes in rapt attention on the face of the minister, devoutly hoping that the "hair hunt" had been unobserved by the congregation. Quietly the judge's hand slipped down to the hymnbook?a moment and the hair was in his pocket; no matter if it broke now. The sermon ended, the ireful lady grasped the book with relentless grip, holding on for dear life as she walked home, connecting scathing sentences to be uttered in the privacy of home?no word of the judge's pleasant conversation was heard. "William, what did you have in your coat pocket this morning?" The judge looked at her with a questioning and innocent gaze. "You had this," she went on sternly, opening up the cover of the hymnbook. There was the fiyleaf with the name neatly written on it?nothing more, absolutely nothing more. She turned pale and stared blankly at her husband. "You could not have lost a speck of dust from that book coming home, Mary," he gravely assured her, "I saw the extraordinary way you gripped it. What did you think was inside?" "Think!" she said indignantly. "I know I had a hair there?yards long," and she told the story. The judge surveyed her "more in sorrow than in anger." "My dear, you have imagined the whole thing; this hair hunting is becoming a positive mania with you," and he proceeded with a speech as eloquent as any ever addressed to the listeners in a crowded court. Senator Scott says that today, if the judge should walk out fairly festooned with a thousand hairs, it is doubtful if his wife would remove even one. it A popular young fellow who is widely known in athletic circles tells this story: "I was in the office of a friend of mine the other morning, when a rather seedy looking young chap came in. nodding to him in a jaunty way, said: " "Billy, old man. I want to borrow a dollar." " "H-m-m-m.* replied Billy, slowly; 'well if I remember rightly I loaned you a dollar last week.' " "So you did." said the visitor, "but I'm dead strapped and must have a dollar now.' "Billy pondered a moment and replied: 'Well, you're no good: I'm convinced of that, and so I'll not lend you a dollar, but I'll give you one: how'll that do?" " 'First rate.' responded the shameless striker, and then after a moment i?r sn the cash was not forthcoming he added: "Well Where's the dollar you are goin'g to give me?" "'Oh,* replied Billy, smilingly. Til give you the dollar you borrowed last week.'" "Mary Saii> Nothing."? Justice Brewer of the I'nited States supreme court is said to be the author of this story: A witness testified in a certain case that a person named Maty was present when a particular conversation took place, and the question was asked, "What did Mary say?" This was objected to. and after some discussion the judge ruled out the question. An exception to this decision was immediately taken, and <>n appeal the higher court reversed the verdict and ordered a new trial on the ground that the quesiton should have been answered. At the second trial the same inquiry was propounded and elicited the information that "Mary said nothing." te "I>.. you believe 'To him that hath shall be given?' " "Certainly. People who hang up silk stockings at Christmas always get more than people who don't." ittiscrUatuous ^ratlini). WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES.

Her body Is to be sent to Fort Mill for burial and it is expected that the bodies of brother and sister will be buried at the same time in the town cemetery. The deaths of brother and sister so near together as to the time and so distant as to place is a sad coincidence Miss Nannie Rothrock, who has been spending a few days in Yorkville, returned home Saturday evening. She was accompanied by her aunt. Miss Alice Craig, and cousin, Mrs. Sam Bankhead and baby, who spent until yesterday evening in the city Mrs. Ann Mayo, a sister to Mr. \V. O.

Mr. Chandler is the efficient bookkeeper for the Bessemer City Cotton mills and is well qualified for the duties of his new office. Mr. R. L. Thornburg. the retiring postmaster, has held this position for the past ten years and. according to a statement made to the reporter by a well known Bessemer City man yesterday, has given tlie public satisfactory service. Just why he was removed or what charges were made against him, if any. or whether the change was simply a deal from the political pie-counter we have been unable to learn.

The death of "Biff Tom" Wilson at the nffo of S5 years, which occurred last week at his home in Yancey county, marks the passing of one of the relics of the mountaineers who have been made the type of heroic fiction and romance. As so often happens in the case of recognized "types" that appear in books, the "type" is in reality the exception. "Big Tom", as hundreds can testify was during the whole of his long life both the ideal mountain type and the practical exception to the rule. Of great stature, or ne?. jiean strength, fixed with the homely philosophy of a rough life and the gently sarcastic humor of one who has lived close to nature toward those who come upon her with the condescension of the city. "Big Tom" was as much one of the sights?and in some manner as really one of the inspirations?as anything afforded by the mountains among which he lived. Through three generations he has been made famous throughout the country, the great magazines devoting pages to his character and publishing studies of his great and picturesque frame; hundreds of tourists have made painful pilgrimage to his home to swe him; and yet there was always the same story that came back?the story of a great primal man. with the gentleness of his strength, the wisdom of clear-eyed associations with the brooding mountains and the humor which those who live large acquire in the amused contemplation of those who live small. Even as a young man "Big Tom" was stated to know the then unknown mountains better than any other. He was in large demand as guide and no party that he took out into the solitudes but that came back to the cities with his memory in their hearts. He was hunter and trapper by profession, knowing to the detail that would put to shame the most successful na U ~ UaKUO A^/1 nko lure iuivri ? uic iiauuo auu tnai aviciisties of every creature that went the ways of the mountains. With it all he bore about him a deep seated reverence for the God of the mountains that robbed him of the faults while It brought out in him the virtues of the men the mountains breed. In times of danger, and they were many in his life, "Big Tom" acted with the direct simplicity of the rare breed that has heard of fear but does not recognize It by experience; when the call was for humanity he was as gentle as a woman. It is narrated of "Big Tom" that it one time he was persuaded by friends to go to Wilmington and see the ocean. He was distressed with its flatness and perturbed by the motion, rhe smug and unbroken horizon irritated him. He chafed and cut his visit short that he might return to the ?reat hills that he loved?that, almost personally, seemed to love him. It was as the discoverer of the dead body of Dr. Elisha Mitchell that "Big rom" will be chiefly remembered. aiier a wcck h svarcn m wihch Hundreds participated it was "Big Tom" who, by a process of deduction learned from intimate association with th6 great scientist and explorer, knew where in the mountains to search for and find his trail. And it was the party led by "Big Tom" that late at night discovered where Dr. Mitchell had slipped upon the ledge and afterwards came upon his body lying at the bottom of a clear pool of mountain water many feet below. The details of the search and finding of Dr. Mitchsirs body made a story that "Big rom" was accustomed to tell with unvarying graphic detail to the day of his death. Now that "Big Tom" is dead, the story of the finding of the body as narrated by Zeb Vance, who happened to be in the mountains as a student an vacation at the time and who was r>f the searching party, gains renewed Interest at this time. It was to visit "Big Tom" that Dr. Mitchell had Lurned aside from his party on the day that he. was lost. The finding of i !o /-?!/! V??? f m n a trt n ilic: UUU> ir> luai u%> vjwv. > anv.r, 111 vu? Asheville Spectator, as follows: "About 1 o'clock in the night just as the writer was about closing his eyes in troubled and uneasy slumber (at the Steep cabin on Mt. Mitchell), a loud haloo was heard from the high bluff that looms over the cabin. It was answered from within, and in a moment every sleeper was upon his feet. Mr. Jesse Steep, Capt. Robert Patton and others then came down and told us that the body was found. Mournfully then indeed those hardy sons of the mountains seated themselves around the smouldering cabinfire and on the trunks of the fallen firs, and then, in the light of a glorious full moon, whose rays penciled the dark damp forest with liquid silver, 7,000 feet above the tide-washed sands of the Atlantic, the melancholy tale was told. Many a heart was stilled with sadness as the awful truth was disclosed, and many a rough face glittered with a tear in the refulgent moonlight, as it looked upon the marble pallor and statue-stillness of the stricken and bereaved son, and thought of those far away whom this sudden evil would so deeply afllict. "It was as they expected. The deceased had undertaken to go the same route to the settlements which he had formerly gone. They traced him rapidly down the precipices of the mountain until they reached the stream, (the Cat-tail fork), found traces going down it?following on a hundred yards or so. they came to a rushing cataract some forty feet high, saw his footprints trying to climb around the edge of the yawning precipice, saw the moss torn up by the outstretched hand, and then?the solid impressionless granite refused to tell more of his fate. But clambering hastily to the bottom of the roaring abyss, they found a basin worn out of the solid rock by the frenzied torrent, at least 14 feet deep, filled with clear and crystal waters cold and pure as the winter snow that generates them. At the bottom of this basin, quietly reposing, with outstretched arms, lay the mortal remains of the Rev. Elisha Mitchell. 1"). D.. the good, the great, the wise, the simple-minded, the pure of heart, the instructor of the youth, the disciple of knowledge and the preacher of Christianity! Oh. what a friend to science and virtue, what youth among ail the thousands that have listened to his teachings, what friend that has ever taken him by the hand, can think of this wild a?nd awful scene unmoved by the Humanity of tears, can think of those gigantic pyramidal firs, whose interlocking branches shut out the light of heaven, the manyhued rhododendrons that freight the air with their perfume and lean weepingly over the waters, that crystal stream leaping down the great [ granites and hastening from the majestic presence of the mighty peak above, whilst in the deep pool below, where the weary waters rest but a j single moment, lies the inanimate body of his dear friend and preceptor, apparently listening to the mighty requiem of the cataract! Truly("Man knoweth not his time, and the sons of men are entrapped in the evil, when it cometh suddenly upon j them.'" . Dr. Mitchell met his death June 27, 1857, and was buried In Ashevllle the 10th of July following. About a , year later on the 16th of June, 1858, his body was reinterred upon the top , of Mt. Mitchell, the height of which he was engaged in measuring at.the time his tragic fate overtook him. Fifty-one years later it were appropriate that the old mountaineer, , who was the friend and guide and , who brought about the discovery of his body, should likewise be burried ( in honor on the top of the mountain ( he knew so well and so greatly revered for the memory that was bound up | in it of the great scientist who came , among the mountains and their peo- ( pie as friend and guide?to learn and ] to teach.?Raleigh News and Observer. , , Getting Around the Question.?a Chicago physician said the other day ] of the late Dr. Nicholas Senn. the cele- , brated surgeon: "I studied under Dr. Senn when he s was professor of surgery at Rush Med- , ical college.

"Dr. Senn smiled. , "He said I reminded him of a school- i boy who, taking a written examination ' in history, came to the question: " 'Which was the greater general, ( Caesar or Hannibal?' "The boy answered as follows: i " if we consider who Caesar and Hannibal were, and ask ourselves ! which of them was the greater, we must unhesitatingly answer in the af- \ firmative.'"

"Altitude has nothing to do with other the growth or the cure of tuoerculosis," said Dr. Joseph Walsh, jf the Philips Institute, in an address before the Plastic club yesterday. "Many persons go to White Haven with the idea that it is the climate that is curing them," he said. "and. falling to enter the sanitarium, live in the farmhouses near it. believing that they are doing the next best thing. It is not the air of White Haven which cures. It is the discipline. Those who go to the farmhouses might as well stay in their homes. At the sanitarium the diet consists of one solid meal each day, six raw eggs and as much milk as can be consumed. The patient is forced to absorb an unusual quantity of food. The part the air plays In this is to furnish the oxygen for the combustion of this food and the consequent building up of the body through its assimilation of that food. "Many persons have an idea that this air must be cold air. It is not so, but it must be air from which the wvcron has not heeil taken. I do UOt know ihat there would be any reason ivhy the consumptive should not breathe heated air if it were pure. N'o one should ever sleep in the same bed or in the same room with another where it is possible to do otherwise. "No one should breathe the air of a. room which has been heated by a gas stove or by a coal oil heater, for the reason that both of these throw upon the atmosphere the products of combustion to be taken into the lungs. "No house should ever be swept without a previous moistening of the Moor, because this dry sweeping may throw the germs of tuberculosis into the air. A cold has no closer relation to consumption than has any other ilisease which may lessen the body's power of resistence." Doctor Walsh gave some interesting figures showing that the death rate from tuberculosis was one-fourth less in 1892 than it was in 1861. He said that the autopsy table showed that 50 per cent of the adults of this country suffered from tuberculosis it some time in their lives, and that r>f these 75 per cent recovered.? i Philadelphia Ledger.
