Gently witnessed the maneuvers of the Fourth

The latest theory is that the imported for
| eign human hair is finer than the hair of ma
| tive Americans, partly because IL is cut from
the heads of the peasantry of Europe, who
| wear caps constantly, which keep the hair
smooth and clean. The American Indians
| have hair as coarse as straws, and there Is a
much greater infusion of Indian blood in the
| old American families than we, with our i'm
perfect knowledge of and interest in gene
alogy, usually imagine, says an alleged ex-
| pert. People with any taint of Indian blood
are apt to have long, heavy heads of hair
and they, like Indians, keep their hair al
ways. Who ever heard Of bald-headed
| Indian brave?
