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."

BIG TOM WILSON.
Character Story of Noted Mountain
Guide Recently Deceased.
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

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

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 (

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. I remember how one day ,
he asked me a question that I did not ;
know, and in order to hide my ignora
nee I gave an ambiguous answer.
"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- \

Ail the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three

They work night and day. When

of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure mat- .

CONSUMPTION AND FRESH AIR. j
Dr. Joseph Walsh Corrects Popular I
Fallacies Before Plastic Club.
"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
