A CHIGNoN COMMISSION"

Sir:-There is no doubt whatever that the
Chgnon wearers are not only filling our thea
tres, churches, and private houses with grega.
rinPs (pedieuJt humdni OGpitis), but that myriads
OF these plaques OF Egypt are conveyed from
one part OF the city to the other, and from per-
son to person, in the street cars. Is there a
remedy? In my opinion there is. 1t is simply
to have commission" for the control of CHG
mons. We have now a STRENGTHENING commits
sion, a commission of health, a commission OF
charities and correction, commission of the
fire department, and the daily commission of
municipal mistakes without number. Now let
us have q chignon commission, and if such
commission does not at once remove the grega.
rines, let the Citizens Association put forward
some volunteer who will gladly and completely
do the work for a half million or so of the pub
lie money. Yours, ETC., A TAX PAYER.

Live Items from the Heads Of the People.
Ihe publication of the "Chignon Horror"
revealed by scientific writer in the London
Lancet, showing that in every "waterfall'' not
composed of the natural hair of the wearer
Nand possibly in cases even where the hair is
hatural) there are myriads of parasitic grega-
nnes, has called out numerous communiea-
tions on the subject, all lively and prolific in
suggestions, from which we select the fol-
lowing
NOT PEDICULI, BUT ANIMALCULR.
SF:-You ana the scientific writer in the
LSnuOn LQnCd are botn in error in speaking of
the parasites in the 'chignonsn as pedicuS or
OuTtdkeS, or greJdr1nes They are merely ami
Mucut1, thousands of which may be seen in a

Yours respectfully, II.
now GREGARINEs ARE GENERATED.
Sr;-lt is great mistake to suppose that the
pedtcuiI hUnldnl cdp,ttS are generated in water
ialls or chignons because these ornaments are
made from foreign hair. The generation natu-
rally arises from the position in which the
waterfalls are placed upon the head. They are
located in juXtapositlon TO the bumps of anna
tiveness, and the warmth of these bumps pro-
duCes the pedlCui at once, and in any quantity
with no apparent exhaustion to the waterfall
wearer. If the waterfalls were worn in any
other place on the head there would be no
spontaneous generation of gregdrInes, though
the production might continue from otner and
Qulte natural causes, FollOWlng our ADVICE,
several ladies, whose heads have lately been
-''examinedn in our office, are now avoiding the
danger OF wearing their waterfalls on the back
OF the head and are placing them as near the
top Of the head as the present style of bonnets
will permit.

THE COMPOSITION OF CHIGNoNs.
SiT:-As one of the preservers of the public
peace, deem it my duty to allay the excite
ment growing out of the ''chignon horror by
detailing faithful account OF a vivisectIon of
irst-cass waterfall, made by myself on the
night of the 10th ultmo. My duties call me to
the doorway of some one of the theatres at the
close of the evening performances. After the
last carriage had driven away from the Arch on
the night in question, turned to 90 home and
stumbled over what | supposed to be a
small boy huddled up in the doorway, and
asleep. Upon examination (after striking it
with my batOn), found that it was large
sized waterfall. / took it home, and found it

parasites. Some OF those which have been sent
swarmed with gregarious pediculean burlakes.

THE ALTERNATIVE.


Sir:-I have worn waterfall night and day,
without once removing it, till read your artl-
Gle on the "chignon horror l then took off
my waterfall, gave one look at il, and -
swooned. l have long felt something moving
all over my head and there has been con-
slant tendency on my part to-shall / say p
to scratch l now know the cause. / have
abandoned my chignon, and have forbidden
the wearing of them by my daughters. Peace
and quiet now reign in a lately nearly distracted
household. Those who wish for similar happl.
ness must leave off their waterfalls.
THE MOTHER OF LARGE FAMILY.
Sir:-There must be some mistake about no
''degree of heat destroying the gregarines."
Do as l did. Put the waterfall IN the stove,
close the door about two minutes, then open
it, and if you see any 'gregarines," or, for that
matter, any waterfall, / am mistaken, that's all.
JULIA W.
We have other and more serious communi-
cations. An importer of artificial hair writes
that the whole "horror' was created to
damage his business. Several ladies send
notes of alarm, softened somewhat by the be-
lief that the "gregarines" are not pedicuE or
6uIokeS, but much more common bug,
known as humbug. 1t is evident however
that the idea Gf not the gregarines) has got
into the heads of the people that waterfalls
are generators of pedicui and we may safely
presume that the public mind will by-and-by
be set at rest on this question of national i'm
portance by a report from a Congressional
I5hignon Investigating Committee, or, possi-
biv' bv new plan for the general reconstruc-
ton Of waterfalls and chignons.

GEN. JOHN A. WAGNER, Charleston:
Dear Sir: I have returned to
Copenhagen after a short trip in
the country, and have done as
much good for the cause as could
be reasonably expected, but find
that if my mission shall have a
good result, I must devote just as
many months as now weeks to
traverse the country, because the
people like to talk personally to
man who has been in America and
is acquainted with the condition OF
the country to which they want to
emigrate and I can in one hour
give more information, and answer
more of the questions, which the
reading of the pamphlet naturally
gives occasion for, than if l re-
eeived and answered twenty let

money sufficient to buy farm are
very particular in their Inquiries
They wish to know what they can
expect in return for what they
leave.
