THE DEMAND FOR FALSE HAIR,

The demand for false hair has in
creased and the supply diminished to
such an extent that the coiffeurs of
London and Paris are on the brink
of despair, such difficulties do they
encounter in satisfying the require
ments of their customers. "Euro-
peans," says the Lancet, twill soon
sell their hair, or have no longer any
hair to sell; and the trade has been
compelled to travel further afeld.-
The actual supply Of false hair for
the European markets is now for the
most part imported, via Marseilles,
from Asia Minor, India, China and
japan. But the hair imported from
these countries is almost invariably
black, and fails to utterly harmonic
with the auburn and golden tints
that so we'll befit q Northern com.
plexion. 1t has therefore been found
necessary to boil the hair in diluted
nitric acid to deprive it Of its origi-
nal color, and it can then be dyed to
the tint most in vogue. This opera
ton has, however, been attended
with considerable danger to the
workmeh engaged in this new handi-
craft. Severe coughs, bronchitis end
other accidents were the natural re-
suits Of the nitrous yapors escaping
from the caldrons used for boiling
the hair. The new danger appears
to have been first discovered by DR..
Felix, of Bucharest, and the Rouma.
MAN Council of Hygiene has issued
circular to all members of the
trade, warning them of the danger
and suggesting the necessary pre-
caution"

We have two great parties in this coun-
try. the democratic and the republican,
and two Others in the nature OF
side.shows. The republican party has two
leading principles, viz: lst, Inc gross Vlo-
lation of the constitution whenever IL o.
structed the party progress or prospects
21. Its devotion to q few favored and PRIV
Ieged interests. These latter consist OF, LIST,
the tariff people; I'd, the national banks;
I'd. n large interest bearing debt. NOW, IN
regard to the tariff, we all know that tne
mower to tax is Il harsh one, and can be
riphtiully used for only the necessary pur-
poses of government. The NORTH tallll,
under which we now live, is one OF tlle most
iniouitous systems that ever was devised

What They Eat in Japan.

M. r. Van Buren,, our Consul General
at Japan, presents in Blue Book some
interesting facts in regard TO the food of
the Japanese people. With population
of 80, 600, 900, there is to be found in the
whole country but little more than L.
100000 head of cattle. OF these only
100000 can be considered fit for food.
Therefore, there are but 2 head of cattle
for each 100 people, whereas in the
United States we have for 100 mouths
20 cattle TO fill them. Japan slaughters,
however, $4,000 head of cattle, more
than one-half of which is eaten by the
foreign population, the rest being con-
sumed by the Japanese navy and army.
Mutton and pork are, outside of the
treaty ports, almost unknown. Fish en-
tiers largely into the food of the people.
Mr. Van Buren, mentions that "cod,
salmon, herring, mackerel, salmon trout,
carp, cells, skate, mullet, catfish and
plaice, are plentiful and cheap" 1t is
known that the Government has taken
active measures in regard to lish-cul-
ture, and endeavors in every way to
increase the products of the sea, sending
for all American publications on these
topics. The Consul states that "one-
half of the people cat fish every day,
one-quarter two or three times week,
and the balance perhaps once or twice
a month"; 1t is their habit to eat a
great many varieties of fish raw. But
the Japanese are more essentially vege-
tarians than even the Chinese, ana all
the land and marine plants, with the
tubers, seem to be placed under cOntrbu-
ton. Among exceptional food plants,
Mr.. Van Buren, mentions an acorn which
grows on small bush three or four feet
high ''it has less sugar than the nut
from the chestnut tree vi America, but
has the merit of being fl ee from astrng-
ent and bitter qualities. Large quanti-
ties of these nuts are gathered, dried
and eaten by thepeople in various ways"
This edible acorn would be worthy of
introduction into this country. We hear
great deal about glucose and deXtrine
in the United States, and we find from
Mr.. Van Burens report that the Japa-
nese use in large quantity substance
which they call anne. "This is pre-
paration made from matted barley and
rice or millet, the malt converting the
starch Of the rice or millet into deXtrine
and maltese, and the product varying
from thick sugar or honey up to a
hard candy" This anne is sold at a low
price, and its consumption is very large.

An 0ld-Fashioped School Master.

Says writer in the Burlington Free
Press: Mr.. Lamb taught and lived in
the basement room which Mr.. Arthur's
family had occupied. To assist his ta-
bic he cultivated the spare ground of
the lot west of the academy. 1t was in
potatoes and vegetables, among which
onions, which he affected, were con-
spicuous One afternoon in the fall he
and u big boy CHoratio Loomis) went
out and gathered the onions. The har-
vest ended, they returned The teacher
Immediately sliced a number of onions,
and spread them upon the stove TO
roast. Very soon he picked up rosst-
ed slice and offered it us II treat to the
boy. Although it is over fifty years
agt laugh as see the erect form and
curled lip of young LOOMS, and hear
his answer, Roasted onion! No, thank
you. I'd rs leave cat parched mon
key"
Jonathan Lamb was mosttngenious,
eccentric, and excessive whipper For
instance, one day, to expedite business,
he put George Governor Van Ness
SOM and self, together with one on two
other little rats, as many as he could
stick on, across his knees. Then, with
each cut of II little rawhde, he whipped
four ut once. Such wholesale punish
ments were necessary under his system,
Otherwise he might not have go
through with his whippings. One of
Mr.. Lambs favorito methods was to
make boy lie, back down, on the floor.
Then lifting the cuprit by his arms and
legs the extremities of which he
punched for the purpose he swung him
stern foremost, against the wall. When
the boy had been thus sufficiently
bumped he was sent To his seat. When
large boy was TO be thus dealt with,
he called on some big boy TO assist.
During the whipping process, he often
stuffed his tongue well into his left
check, seemingly TO strengthen his ef
forts. Theg the left eye was shut tight,
and the right eye severely opened.
Tongue and eye being in line, punish
ment began. His appearance on such
occasions was exceedingly ludicIons.
