GRAY HAIR AND X-RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made foi
the Miracle Light—Improbability
of Its 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 facta connected with
the physiology of hair and its anatomi
cal character.
All very well know that the color ol
the hair is a part of Its nutrition and is
dependent upon the secretion of a pig
ment in certain cells in its substance,
When the hair loses its pigment vitality
grayness ensues as a 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 it may be
necessary to sound a note of warning.
Even if it should prove to be a fact
that the X-ray can do what is claimed,
the remedy is certainly a 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 f>osltive 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 sUll a great prob
lem. Edison, in a recent interview in
the Herald, emphasized this fact in a
manner not to be misunderstood. Thus
there may be a chance, with such as may
be determined to try the new thing, for
the traditional "old fool” to multiply
himself over the land.

UNIQUE WEDDING GF MUTES.
■■■ ——
Bride «b4 Grooai Speak nuirml
Saisugei la Flayer Talk and An
Acquainted Poor Days.
A wedding with unusual features
was held the other morning at the
residence of Justice N. A. Ladd, at
Madison, Wit., when Michael Wolf, of
Arcadia, Wls., and Miss Bessie Ander
son, a pretty Madison girl, both
deaf mutes, were married. The
eouple met for the first time
only fonr days ago and spent
the intervening time in courting, get
ting acquainted and devising a com
mon language, for the groom, being
a German, cannot understand writ
ten English nor the reading of the
lips, by which his more accomplished
bride receives communication from
Mends. He uses “finger talk” entire
ly. None of the parents of elthsr of
the principals is a d*af mute. Mr.
Wolf is a 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
duced to writing, a long, amusing
and pantomimic performance. They
were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Pedder, of Arcadia, also deaf mutes,
but who have a bright, talkative lit
tle son with them. It was through
Mrs. Pedder that their union was
brought about. She was the girl
ehum of the bride at a 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, whers
thaj will live.

The Story.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
