Where Hair Comes to a Head.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes: SCI 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. It is situated IN a 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 its transactions that their wares are
arranged in bales, each containing
three and four hundred pounds of hair.
These bales each contain a heterOgen-
eOus mass of human locks of every
shade and texture, from raven black to
haxen blonde, from horse-hair coarse
ness to silken fineness. This is the ma
terial 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 your alien locks ali
the hair is thoroughly boiled before be
ing placed in the hands of the work
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 $50 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 "a switch of that color was
displayed, valued at nearly 800, even
in that Wholesale market. The greatest
curiosity there was a switch of light
brown hair measuring six feet in length,
and for which 500 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 Cen
tennial." F"

Vivid Picture of an Elevator Con-
ductor.

1t is the st. Louis Republican that
does up well known modern character
in package of this shape:
He has reached the advanced age of
sixteen years. Not blighted affection
or lost confidence in ALA has
brought him to it. No! The filthy
lucre of So per week has made him in
love with solitude and rising profess
sion. he gushed with an enthusiasm
of high art when he first took hold of
the rope. He has had hold of it for
six months, and he gushes no longer.
That rope has taken all the gush out of
him. he leans against it a sadder and
wiser hermit of the elevator. When the
hermit is strictly on duty he leans des-
pondingly in the rope corner like a
blighted being as if there might pos
sibly be something in this world beyond
the monotony of continually going up
and continually coming down, if he
could only find it out but perhaps 1t
is not worth the trouble. If you ask
the hermit if there is any fear of the
elevator shooting up through the roof,
he only shakes his head soTrowfully, as
il to say, no such good lack. If you
plunge into the intricities of hydraulics,
or steam pressure, or cog-wheels, he
shuts up like a jack-knife with a wither-
ing look and an inquiry of Which
floor ?" He is the sworn enemy of the
engineer residing in the subterranean
CULTS. If the elevator runs fastor slow,
it is always the engineer. He is a de-
mon. If the hermit caught that engin-
GERS head under the elevator perhaps
he d squeeze it good. We often think
that perhaps it was because of the
worldly friction of this engineer that
the hermit became a hermit OF the ele-
vator. Take the hermit all in all, he is
a simple-minded child of nature. He
sees more ups and downs in this world
than any one else, without being sea
sick, or sick of seeing the same people
forever and forever ascending and de-
scending, and forever and forever ring
ing the changes from one TO five on that
same eternally tinkling bell.

The many friends of Rev. F. B.
Hodge, of the First Presbyterian church
Of Wilkesbarre, will regret to hear that
the state OF his health Is such as to rem
der it necessary for him to cease for a
time his regular ministerial labors. He
had so far recovered from his last win
ter's attack as to fulfil all his duties for
several months. But a recent prostra-
tion has caused his physicians to say he
must rest for time. They recommend a
trip to Europe, and stay for time at
noted springs in Germany. He goes
to the ." Hot Springs of Carlsbad in
Bohemia.'' lie will be accompanied
by the Rev. II. IL. Welles, of Kings
ton. OF all pastors have such devoted
charges as Mr.. Hodge. AS soon as his
people learned Of what his physicians
recommended, they resolved that he
should have four months leave of alb
sence his salary should be continued,
and a voluntary purse of fifteen hun
dred dollars should help defray his ex>
penses abroad.-Presbyterian.
