It was ap plied regularly once a fortnight in the following way: A little was poured into a saucer and rubbed with the fingers Into the roots of the balr. The appli cation was slow and thorough, the gen tle massage of the roots with the finger tips being needed to open the pores for the absorption of the oil. The treat ment was usually made at night, and the hair afterward tied up in a silk hand kerchief. The silk handkerchief Is recom mended by hair dressers as useful In retaining the natural electricity of the hair. By noon of the following day the odor of the kerosene had disappeared, and In another 12 hours the outness that followed its use had ulso gone. The effect of this treatment on the hair was promptly noticeable, the falling oul stopped, and some new short hairs were found all over the head. As the kero aene application was continued the hair became thick and smooth. When, after neveral months, It wag finally discon tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced tue dry and lustorless hair the furnu-r condition existing, though no kerosene had been used for several years. N. 7. Post MATCH WOULD BE IDEAL. Romnr Hni It 1 hut Cirrmnn Crown 1'rlnc Mnj- rl I'rlnrree of I'auibvrlitnd. Again is the goBslp revived In Ber lin that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has smoothed away the ob stacles that have stood between the crown prince of Germany and Princess Alexandra of Cumberland, and that the Hanoverian girl has good prospects of becoming empress of Germany come day. The fact Is that whereas the crown prince Is now of marriage able age, the crop of princesses suit ed to him in years, health, religion end politics Is extremely limited. Two or thre English princesses are avail able and suitable, and rumor ha re peatedly engaged him to one or the other of them, and Emperor William Is understood to be rather in favor of such a match. But the emperor re members the unpopularity of his moth er In Germany, and the rooted objec tion of the German public to have an English empress. 80 it is that the name of Princess Alexandria comes up again. If the cnjwn prince of Germany mar ries Princess Alexandra of Cumber land It will be a romantic match, for there has been a bitter feud between the Hohenzollerni and the Guelphs of Hanover for the last 35 years. In the war of 1866 the king of Hanover, the grandfather of Princess Alexandra, was led by his warm friendship for Emperor Francis Joseph to take the losing side, with the result that when Prussia had crushed Austria he was dethroned and his dominions added to the Prussian crown. There is still a Guelph party in Hanover and every year on the duke of Cumberland's ALEXANDRA OP CUMBERLAND. (Hanoverian Princess Who May Wed German Crown Prince.) birthday a deputation comes to Gmun den to bring him the greeting of his "loyal subjects In Hanover." The Guelphlan movement in Hanover, how ever, is suppressed with an Iron hand by the most approved German police methods. Since the crash, the royal family has lived in Austria, at Penzing, near Vienna, and at Gmunden in up per Austria. The head of the family uses his English title, Cumberland, but keeps up all the state and ceremony of a king at his residences. Princess Alexandra is a tall, pleas ant looking girl, but not particularly beautiful. She Is an enthusiastic yachtswoman and sails her own boat over the waters of the treacherous Gmunden lake. She has been much at the Austrian court where the Cumber lands take the precedence of every one and are treated as a reigning family. She Is a Protestant and therefore re ligiously eligible to be the German crown prince's bride. SHYNESS AND BLUSHING. Twe Trrl Defects Which Hare Their Origin la a Lack ml elf-Poeeeaiilon. ', There Is probably no defect which causes eo much anguish ot spirit ano discomfort as shyness and blushing. Nobody who has not personally suf fered from it can even begin to conceive what torture it may cause. Shyness may proceed from one ot two causes the one physical, the other mental. It Is often aa affair of health. The nerves are out of order, and the will becomes weak. People shrink from .their fellow-creatures, and are filled with an unreasonable horror of meeting or speaking to them. This Is often the case after an Illness, or when one has been overworking, and strained the physical powers too much. The best cure for this kind of shyness is fresh air, exercise and cheerful society. But there Is another shyness, and one harder to cure, whtch comes from men tal causes. Its afflicted possessor may be in robust health and yet so tor mented by this Inward enemy that she finds all intercourse with other people positively alarming. To meet stran gers causes her a severe struggle. In either case, the root of the matter Is self-conscloiiBness, and it is only by losing that eelf-consclousness that self possession and confidence can be gained, As long as one thinks about oneself at all, one will be liable to shyness. The only cure is to thrust all recollection of oneself into the background as much as possible, when one will gradually be come natural, happy and at ease. To overcome shyness and blushing there Is nothing on earth like going a great deal Into society, and every effort possible should be made to achieve this. This docs not merely mean social life, but Intercourse with one's fellow crea tures. Force yourself to speak to every one you come In contact with, no mattet what it costs you at first. Go on brave ly; never mind how much you may blush and stammer. Persist in It, and it will grow ecu'er and easier. Nevei phrlnk from putting yourself into posi tions which may draw attention upon you. N, V. Journal. 1 frvfi 1 Probable Murder. Continued from 1st pnge.l Mrs. Krebs states that her daughter in-law has known I lite for about a year and that he has several times before threatened to shoot her, but for what she does not know. The husband refuses to talk of the affair. The movements of Hite after the shooting are shrouded in mystery. The cider Mrs. Krebs and the daughter-in-law state that they do not know when or how he left the house after the shooting. Neigh bors say that soon after the shots were fired they saw a man step from the rear porch at the Krebs house and go down the yard disap pearing in the darkness. About eight o'clock Monday morning Hite was located at Fairmount Hotel in this city, with his wife. Hite re fuses to talk but a story in circula tion is to the effect that when Officer Whalen went to the hotel tor Hite the woman asked what was wrong, and when told, stated "why it wasn't him, I did the shooting myself." The officers kept Hite undeisurveillance at the hotel until eleven o'clock when Krebs and Squire Fertig came to Sunbury and arranged to take him to Northumberland.

Mrs. Krebs condition at noon to-day was very grave and when told so by the doctors, said she de sired to make a statement. Justice J. P. Carpenter was sent for and in the presence of witnesses took her statement of the affair which covers five sheets of fools cap paper. The gist of the statement is that Hite did the shooting and that jealousy was the motive. It has developed that Hite saw Mrs. Krebs on the street at Northumberland last Fri day night but that she spurned him and in order to escape him went to her home on Duke street to which place be followed her, and upon being refused admission, broke open the door and threatened to shoot her. She escaped to a neighbor's bouse and later told her husband that burglars broke iu the house. The woman claiming to be Hite's wife has been here for a week or more and it seeni3 has been active in trying to prevent her husband from seeking Mrs. Krebs. J. F. Schaffer, Esq., has been retained by Hite, who, it is said, confessed to Chief of Police Waltz that he did shoot the women but that he was sorry Lr it." .,. t Another Email Pox Viotim at Oeatraha- Another case of small pox was discovered in Centralia on Sundav, the victim being Patrick Campbell, a fifteen year old son of Mrs. John Welsh who keeps a candy store in that town. The case has been un der suspicion for some days and was finally pronounced small pox on Sunday by Dr. Groff of Lewisburg, a member of the State Board of Health. The case is mild and Campbell is now in the hospital. It developed that he had been sell ing candy over the counter and Dr. Groff confiscated the store's stock and destroyed it. He also took oc casion to compliment the authorities on the rigid quarantine established aud expressed his approval of the work being done. THE CUREJS LASTING.
