where Hair Comes to a Head,

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes: s'I have recently learned
some interesting facts respecting man
ufacture in which every female head
throughout the land is interested,
namely, the preparation of human hair
and it's transformation into switches,
rinelets, etc. The largest establish
ment of this nature in the world exists
in Germany. It is situated in town
called Wetzlar, in the valley OF the
Lain. It is the depot to which travel
ing collectors of hair bring their wares
to dispose of, and so extensive are their
transactions that their wares are ar
ranged in bales, each containing three
and four hundred pounds of hair.
These bales each contain heteroge-
neous mass of human locks of every
shade and texture, from raven black to
faxen blonde, from horse-hair coarse
ness to silken 1neness. This is
the material in the rough, and
very dirty and disgusting are
often the peasant grown tresses
when brought into the factory. But
fear nothing, ladies, fair, respecting
theicleanliness of your alien locks; ali
the hair is thoroughly boiled before
being placed in the hands of the work
girls, of whom 900 are employed in this
establishment. The hair, when dried
and smoothed, is then carefully sorted
according to color and length. Good
brown hair of average length is worth
about $15 per pound the highest
priced hair is pure white, long tresses
of which are sold, not by the pound,
but by the single hair, each hair being
valued at about half a cent. The most
valuable of the natural hues is pale
gold switch of that color was dis
played, valued at nearly 800, even in
osity there was switch of light brown
hair measuring six feet in length, and
for which 800 had been paid to the
original owner thereof this unparal-
leled braid is not to be sold, but is to
be reserved for exhibition at our Gen.
tennial"

1t is seldom that the grain trade is in such
quiet condition as is at present witnessed.
The speculative mania seems to have sub
sided, and there is but little inclination shown
to speculate, either by local or outside opera
tors. Indeed, aside from the wheat trade,
none of the markets appear to attract any at
tention from operators worthy of mention,
and the general trade is greatly depressed.
Usually, ae this season of the year we have
scme shipping demand for grain, but now the
prices here are too high to admit of any ac-
tivity in this line, and the result is an accu-
mutation of the stock in store. The markets
at the East are in an unfavorable condition,
the scarcity of ocean freight room checking
and restricting the export movement. Our
stocks, although not large, are steadily in
| creasing. the figures published above showing
general excess Of receipts over shipments, and
this fact operates unfavorably on the market,
aiding the Bears" in forcing low range
of prices. The Shorts do not seem to have
any anxiety regarding their future Contracts
and are apparently satisfied with the course of
affairs, manifesting but little desire to cover
their trades. Outside orders were more or
moderately active at times, but generally
rather quiet. Prices were 1c to lie
lower carry in the week, recovered, aa-
vancing &c to 2le; and closing easier at
exactly the figures current at the opening.
No. 2 corn for immediate and December de-
ing wholly in new c.rn, owing to the limited
amount of old No 2 in store. New corn lower
under general pressure to sell and increased
arrivals. More country selling orders on the
market Oats were weak and easier, but
closed steady, with some indicati ions of an adj
vance. Rye was the only grain ruling firm
throughout, the offerings being light and the
demand good. Barley was dull and a trifie
lower all round.
The following were the ruling prices at the

THERE Is NO DEATH.-If it be true
that Nature abhors vacuum, it is
equally true that the Great Creator alb
hors death and glories in life. There
is really no such thing as death-the
term is amisnomer, used to designate the
changes which occur in life. Life, eter-
nal life, is created by the laws of AL
mighty wi1-power, which are as immut-
able in their application as is the exist
ence of the Creator himself. When
God made life, he made everything
necessary to sustain it, but left it for
mans progressive intelligence to dis
cover, convert and utilize. Good medi-
cine is to the ailing physique what good
fuel is to the expiring flame; the better
the fuel, the quicker the fre-the bet
ter the medicine, the quicker comes re-
lief from pain. CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BrrTERs is life's elixir for old or young.
Use this medicine properly and you will
live to a good old age without those
physical ailments which make seventy
years burden. 15

A Curious Fish,

The Chinese fish of Paradise is de-
scribed as small, of a pale gray color,
and with little about it to attract atten-
ton. As soon as the animal becomes
excited, however, the long fins on the
back and belly straighten out and as
sumo q rich purple hue, tinted with
green. The long and forked-shaped
tail spreads into kind of fan, and the
stripes under the sides of the fish be-
come yellow, red and blue, constantly
chan9ing in color. The scales seem to
become opaIescent, and reflect the light
with the greatest brilliancy, while the
eyes seem to be illuminated with q
bluish-green fire. The habits of the
animal are as odd as its appearance.
The males take charge of the young and
build the nest. The latter is simply a
clot of foam floating upon the water,
and is made by the fish rising to the
surface and alternately absorbing and
expelling the air, until little cluster
of fine bubbles, hardly three tenths of
an inch square, is formed. The female
then deposits her eggs. which are at
once seized upon by the male, who
carries them in his mouth to the nest.
Then he watches their incubation, care
fully guarding and distributing them
with wonderful sagacity evenly through
out the mass of foam. When they clot
together he pushes them apart with his
nose. and besides, keeps up continual
manufacture of bubbles until the eggs
are Lifted up above the water andfrest
only upon their soft couch. As soon as
the embryos appear his care is doubled.
He watches that none escape, and IN
case some become separated he chases
them. catches them in his mouth and
repIace them carefully in the nest. If
one becomes hrlrt he removes it from
the Others and gives it = separate bub-
BILE by itself, apparently nursing it until
it regains its strength.

THE NEwsBoY,s DEBT.

ONLY last year, at Christmas time,
While pacing down . city street,
saw tiny, ill-clAd boy
one of the thousands that We mee.-
As ragged as boy could be,
with half cap, with one good shoe;
Just patches to keep out the winds
know the wind blew keenly too:
A aewsboy, with = nAwsboy's lungs,
square Scotch face, and honest brow,
And eyes that liked to smile SO well
They lad not yet forgotten how:
A newsboy, hawking his last sheets
With loud persistence. Now and then
Stopping to beat his stiffened hands,
And trudging bravely on again.
Dodging about among the crowd,
Shouting his " Extras DER and o'er:
Paustng by whiles to cheat the wind
Within some alley, by some door.
At last he stopped-six papers LETT,
Tucked hopelessly beneath his arm
To eye fruiterer's outspread store;
Here products from some country tarrns
And there CONNECTIONS, all adorned
With wreathed and clustered leaves and mowers,
While little founts, like frosted splress
Tossed mp and down their mimic showers. -
