The Hair We Wear


The South of France and Brittany con-
tribute to the human hair market the
largest amount of the black. Thither
each year agents of the Partisan whole
sale houses 60 to gather an average crop
of more than two thousand pounds weight.
From one to five francs is about the
usual lrice of head of HAIR TIE deal
ers 90 provided with ribbons, silks, laces
and je"elry which they often succeed in
exchanging for black or golden tresses.
They attend all the fairs and merrv-mak-
lngs, and at Breton fair may be seen
number of them surrounded by peasant
girls, ready to be { sheared like sheep
as tuey stand in row one after an
other with their caps in their hands
ready for the scissors, and their long
hair combed out and falling like veil
about then. Sometimes it is man and
sometimes d woman who cuts of the hair,
placing it in large basket provided for
the occasion, and into which every sue
cessive crop of hair, tied up in wisp, is
thrown in by itself. As it is the fashion
in those parts to wear close cap, which
thoroughly obs tructs the view Of coils or
braids # hair it can make but little differ :
ence whether they have them or not.
Hence it is said that girls seem to bring
their hair to market as regularly as they
do peas and cabbages and eggs, and that
peasant girl parts with her hair as read
lily as the stern uncle in old-fashioned
plays parts with his guineas in the
last act. For choice heads of hair, like
choice old pictures or choice old china,
there is no limit in the price they coca
sionally command.

Sponges.

Mr.. P. L. Simmonds. of London, in his
new book on Commercial Products of the
Sea, says sponges are found most abund-
antly in the seas of the Australian island
Some are shaped like vase, others like
a fan. Those in shallow water are coars-
er than the deep sea sponges. The best
place for the American sponge fisheries is
off Key West, Florida. About six hun
dred men are engaged in gathering them
when the weather is fair. Each sponger
is provided with sponge hook, made of
iron, with three prongs, fastened to pole
from eighteen to thirtv-fve feet long, also
bucket with pane of glass at the bot
tom. This enables the men to see deep
down in the water. When a load Is
gathered they are placed roots down and
eyes up till they are dead, the sponges
meantime exhuming bloody, Shiny mat
ter, most offensive to the smell. When
the vessel reaches the shore the sponges
are buried in the sand for week or ten
days, then bleached in the sun until they
are ready for market. OFF the coast Of
Syria the sponges are obtained by divers,
who plunge from thirty to one hundred
and eighty feet, and grasp them with
their hands.

False Wealth.

The revelation made Of the affairs of
Mr.. Harry Palmer, the colleague of Mr..
Jarrett in the management Of Booths
Theater, and the enterprislng and sue
cessful manlpulator of so many great
dramatic and musical enterprises, has
been u great surprise to that portion of
the public which imagines because a man
has to do with business in which great
deal of money passes through his hands,
therefore he must be rich. Probably there
never was time when so many people
who have the appearance Of wealth were,
in reality, as poor as now. It is not
only the misfortune; it is the rulnous
fault of this country that every one tries
to manufacture an appearance of being
much better of than he really is. Ex-
Surrogate Robert b. Hutchings re.
marked recently that nothing had sur
prised him more in the course of his
official duties than the disclosures
which death made of the baseless foun-
dations upon which regulations for
wealth were built up. Thousands OF
men who live on Fifth and Madison
avenues, while they are here, whose
daughters are sent to expensive schools,
whose sons drive T carts, and whose
wives figure as patrcnesses of charities,
are found to be worse than poor, for
they have laid no honest foundation
upon which their children can build
even livelihood. They have thrown
themselves away upon "cats and Dogs
their resources are represented by
worthless securities, and their great
expectations are mere air-bubbles.
Such men have the greatest confidence
in themselves and tueir wisdom. They
resent ally intimation that they cannot
control future events, aud never dream
of the necessity 1or warding off calami-
ty by reserving provision from the
overflow of the present. The specula-
tive habit and tendency is so strong
upon them that all other considerations
are sacrificed to it; in fact, they refuse
to entertain them as possibilities. Nor
can women be charged with blame IN
the matter. The most prosperous
households of to-day, almost the only
ones that arc built on solid foundation,
are those in which the wife assumes the
interior management. The interests are
identical and the confidence complete
It is not natural for women to live on I'M
certainties; they are usually too timid.
The majority would far rather depend
with safety on an income ever so small
than take the chance of great deal If
nothing. Few wives of speculative men
have. however any control over the tinan
cial affairs of the family. The household
is run on "bills." Their inquiries
and expressed wishes Tor more fixed
methods are met with rebuffs; they hear
great deal of inflated talk about the
money made in this, that or the other
and, as they md 1t easier to make a
"bill; Of 500 than to get possession Of
five dollars IN cash, and ale compelled by
force of circumstances to preserve the
same appearance as the people among
whom they live, why, they do it, and
they could not do otherwise.

1t is certain that Prof. L. Grandeur, of
the Agricultural Experiment Station at
Nancy, France, is not disciple OF Mr..
George Vielle. He very properly be-
lieves that ''meadows and cattle are not
heresies,' and if so, he thanks God that
"French farming is still in the heresi-
archs,' and holds that "it is more than
ever necessary to increase the production
of barryard manure, and to improve the
preservation and use of this important
substance" Further he says; "1n agri-
culture, as in everything else, absolute
doctrins are unfortunate. However spe-
cious tee arguments to defend them may
be, however plausible and positive their
advocates may appear, they must be dis
trusted, especially if they lead to the con
tradictlon OF facts which have been set
tied by the experience Of ages. To work,

single object of discovering a portion of
truth, is the only sure way

MORAL MAXIMS.

Choosing Gloves.

At this season, IN the closing out sales
of lots of gloves, ladies should exercise
care in their selections, particularly IN
Isle threads, which can be tired on be-
fore purchasing, and consequently have
perhaps been tried on great many times.
What shoppers had better do is to try on
both gloves carefully before purchasing,
and SO insure getting good fits and per
feet gloves. More than once Of late the
tantalizing experience has come home to
purchasers that pair Of gloves, looking
in all respects alike, were totally different
in size, and where they failed to try on
both before leaving the counter, found
that only one of the pair could be worn
with comfort or satisfaction.
