land SO desires Is New England eternslly
to dictate the policy of this government A
vast deal Of good has come out of this
Nazareth, but quite as much harm, so far as
the general good OF this entire country is
concerned, has come, too, and continues to
como. The middle, southern and western
states have enriched New England by pay
ing tribute for long, weary years 10 protected
manufacturers, and New England has
ever opposed any benefits asked by
those states from tho general gov
ernment, simply because New Eng
land wanted No rivals, wanted no pros
pority anywhere else. Why should the peo-
pie of thirty or more states pay taxes into
tho Federal treasury to be paid out again to
the British government that few New Eng
land fishermen may enjoy the privilege of
catching mackerel? 1t strikes us that the
people Of this country might ebe out an ex-
istenco without ever seeing macksrel, or
Goldfish either, If the worst came to the
worst, and above all things we say, If Great
Britain and Canada, as Professor Kinds
charges have swinded this government, let's
find it out and demand restitution, and show
up tho ignominy Of that government and lis
province that all the world may see. An in
vcstigation will do no harm. Dir. Newborry
Gays he will not press the matter, his object
being simply to get the matter in the papers
that public sentiment may dictate what
should ba done. lie has our opinion on the
matter, and if New England don't think
Texas ia in earnest in tho matter, let the
question DO raised with Groat Britain, then
watch Texas if it comes 10 an issue and the
government needs her.

Hair

Not less than ninety per cent. OF the
women and live per cent. OF tho men in
this country wear more or less false
hair This enormous consumption of
the artificial and natural product sug-
gests the fact, fearful but true, that
nine women out Of every ton about the
street, in the church, or on the cars,
charming or ugly to line, have on
wig or welt, bandeau or a prepared
net, bangs or waves, arranged at the
hairdresser's.
Some people think that blondes never
grow grayheaded. The fact is, one-third
OF white shreds may be mingled with
such hair, and few will notice it. The
same proportion OF blond-headed peo-
pie turn gray as those with any other
colored hair.
The proportion Of people who dye
their hair is also surprising. Some
twenty per cent are said to do this.
OF course. the greater proportion of this
class are white-haired people, A white
head is often, though not always, sign
of a life of trouble,
The dresser is more than often
amused by requests from the country
for "cold water frizzes." These, of
course, comprise an article which will
curl easily by application of water and
are easily supplied. Curly hair has
been the fashion for year or more
OF the two, human hair is the most
called for. "iair-raising' is sort of
industry in Europe. The peasant girls,
who are much in the open air, get their
heads cropped once year, and thus
furnish a portion of the supply. They
are satisfied with stipend so small that
an American woman would scorn to
touch six times its value OF the ma
terial imported France supplies halt
the trade and Enelan' @ad Germany
divide rheyest. The raw material finds
lis way hera in great quantities, and is
made up on this side of the water The
business is young yet in this country

The Original Penny.

The old, old penny in England, rs in
other countries, was Of silver, and its
appearance throughout the earliest Pc
Rod of its history would rather astonish
those who know nothing of numismatic
lore. From the Saxon times, in which
it was the only piece of silver extant,
till those of Edward |. it was stamped
with square cross. This enabled the
coin to be readily broken into halves
or quarters, which then served the pul-
pose of halfpence or farthings But
the latter coin was not much inferior 10
the value of the present English penny,
inasmuch as the unbroken piece was
valued at one-thirtieth of a mark, or
three-pence sterling. At this time five
of them seem 10 have made shilling,
SO that the relations between what are
now chief English silver and bronze
coins have entirely altered in the course
Of six centuries, King Edward. who re-
formed coinage, like everything else,
was the first to issue pennies without
the indented cross; and 10 make up for
the loss of the queer-shaped half-pon.
mics and farthings hitherto in use, sup
plemented the silver coinage with cir
cular pieces, bearing the same value
and denomination. He fixed the stand
ard of the penny moreover, by ordering
that it should weigh thirty-two grains
Of well-grown wheat or, which was
probably more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.
