Where Hair Comes to a Head.

4 correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes: 81 have recently learned
some interesting facts respecting a
manufacture in which every female
head throughout the land is interested,
namely, the preparation of human hair
and its transformation into switches,
ringlets, etc. The largest establish
ment of this nature in the world exists
in Germany. 1t is situated in town
called Wetzlar in the valley of the
Lain. It is the depot to which the
travelling collectors OF hair bring their
wares to dispose of, and so extensive
are it's transactions that their wares are
arranged in bales, each containing
three and four hundred pounds of hair.
These bales each contain heterogen-
eous mass of human locks of every
shade and texture, from raven black to
faxen blonde, from horse hair coarse
ness to silken fineness. This is the ma
rerial 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
the cleanliness OF yeur alien locks all

girls, of whom six hundred are en-
ployed in this establishment. The hair,
when dried and smoothed, is then care
fully assorted according to color and
length. Good brown hair Of average
length is worth about 1916 pound the
highest priced hair is pure white, long
tressag Of which are sold, not by the
pound, but by the single hair, each
hair being valued at about half cent.
The most valuable of the natural hues
is pale gold switch of that color was
displayed, valued at nearly 800, even
in that wholesale market. The greatest
curiosity there was switch of light
brown hair measuring six feet in length,
and for which $109 had been paid to
the original owner thereof; this unpar-
alleled braid is not to be sold, but is to
be reserved for exhibition at our Gen.
tennial. y

good dressing of coarse manure, straw

not wanted for new paintings.
oots.-Place in pits as recommended
for last month, but do not cover with
earth until the weather renders it nee

parsnips, satisfy, horse-redish, ETC.,
may be dug as long as the ground re.

Soil. Prepare quantity of this for
use in the hot-beds next spring. It is
usually difficult TO get soil at that time,
and it is much better to have supply
ready for use, stored under shed or in
the cellar. A light sandy loam is best,
and if too heavy, mix third part OF
sand with it, and add a little we'll rotted
manure. The whole pile should be
thoroughly mixed and placed in heap
under cover.

A Christmas Legend.

It was Christmas Eve. The night
was very dark and the snow falling fast
as Hermann, the charcoal-burner, drew
his cloak tighter around him, and the
wind whistled fiercely through the
trees of the black forest. He had beer
to carry load to a castle near, anG
was now hastening home to his little
hut. Although he worked very hard
he was poor, gaining barely enough fol
the wants of his wife and his four little
children. He was thinking of them
when he heard faint wailing. Guided
by the sound, he groped about and
found little child, scantily clothed,
shivering and sobbing by itself in the
snow.
"Why, little one, have they left thee
here all alone to face this cruel blast 2
The child answered nothing, but
looked piteously up in the charcoal
burners face.
"WelI, I cannot leave thee here.
Thou Would'st be dead before the morn
ing"
So saying, Hermann raised it in his
arms, wrapping it in his cloak and warm
| ing its little cold hands in his bosom.
When he arrived at his hut, he put
down the child and tapped at the door,
which was Immediately thrown open,
and the children rushed to meet him.
"Here, wife, is guest to our Christ
mas Eve supper" said he, leading in
the little one, who held timidly to his
finger with it's tiny hands.
"And welcome he is" said the wife.
"Now let him come and warm himself
by the fire."
The children all pressed round to
welcome and gaze at the little new
conner. They showed him their pretty
fr-tree, decorated with bright, colored
lamps in honor of Christmas Eve, which
the good mother had endeavored to
make q .fete for the children.
Then they sat down to supper, each
child contributing Of its portion for the
guest, looking with admiration at its
clear, blue eyes and golden hair, which
shone SO as to shed brighter light in
the little room and as they gazed, it
grew into sort of halo round his head,
and his eyes beamed with heavenly
luster. Soon two white wings appeared
at his shoulders, and he seemed to grow
larger, and then the beautiful vision
vanished, spreading out his hands as in
benediction over them.
Hermann and his wife fell on their
knees, exclaiming, in awe struck voices:
"The holy Christ child - and then en-
braced their wondering children in Joy
and thankfulness that they had enter
tanned the heavenly guest.
The next morning, as Hermann passed
by the place where he had found the
fair child, he saw q cluster of lovely
white flowers, with dark green leaves,
looking as though the snow itself had
blossomed. Hermann plucked some,
and carried them reverently home to
his wife and children, swho treasured
the fair blossoms and tended them care
fully in remembrance OF that wonderful
Christmas Eve, calling them Chrysan-
themums and every year, as the time
came round, they put aside portion Of
their Ieast and gave it to some poor
little child, according to the words of
Christ: Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. -

Chunks Of Wisdom

Too much rest itself becomes a pain.
Pleasure of every kind quickly salts
fies.
Necessity makes dastards valiant men.
BY sowing frugality We reap liberty,
golden harvest.
Gayety is the souls health sadness
is its poison.
A great mind will never give an af.
front nor bear it.
The less we parade our misfortunea
the more sympathy we command.
Most OF our misfortunes are more
supportabIe than the comments of our
friends upon them.
&c is not only old and early impress
sions that deceive us the charm Of
novelty has the same power.
The future does not come from before
To meet MS, but comes streaming up
from behind as over our heads.

In the Rheingan and the Palatinate
there are hundreds of similar establish
ments, according to the London Times
correspondent. The Excise Bureau of
the German empire recognizes this pro-
duct as grapevine.
The practice of keeping iurymen
confined without food until they have
agreed upon verdict is one of the most
unquestionabIe relics of dark age. In
Pennsylvania, a few days ago, an unfed
jury hung for sixteen hours not feeling
confident of the guilt of the accused, ii
being capital case. The starvation
system had it's effect, though, finally,
and in the verdict they hung their man.
-Guizor's heirs have discovered the
suit which was the last expression OF
Guizot's pride. His idea was that
neither himself nor his family should
be indebted to the empire, which he
hated. One of his family was thus in
debted and had accepted ASST tance
from the emperor, and the suit was that
the emperor's heirs should be compelled
TO accept repayment from Guizot. In
this material time il is rare to see suiG
maintained on one side to compel the
accer tance of $40, 900, and on the other
upholding the right to refuse the sum.
The use OF aniline red for coloring
hair-oils is condemned by the Labra
tory, and an instance is cited in proof Of
the injurious effects resulting from the
employment of oils so colored. A man
in Boston, who had for some time fire.
quented barber's shop in which ami
line colored oil was used in hair dress
ing, began to experience a disagreeable
itching of the scalp, very similar to that
produced by arsenic. On inquiry, the
trouble was traced to tho hair-oil
which contained arsenic present in the
aniline color; and, by discontinuing it's
use, the eruption socn disappeared
