Jewesses and Wigs.

There is remarkable mystery sur
rounding the origin of the custom of
the Jewish women cutting off their hair
and donning a wig on their marriage.
The stubborn adherence to this custom
suggested the plot of the gloomy story
which concludes the "Jews of Barnow, !"
Even in the present day the custom is
still observed by the ultra-orthodox.
The effects of the custom were supposed
to give clue to its origin
There was undoubtedly too much
reason in the Middle Agea for the Jew.
esses to be eager to make themselves as
unattractive as possible. The custom
of cutting off the hair of the bride on
the wedding day is not mentioned in
the Talmud. According to Mishnah
Ketuboth, vii: 6, it is contrary to Jew
ish custom for married women to appear
in the street with head uncovered.
Out of modesty the custom was also OBJ
served in the house, and in order to
remove the possibility of temptation,
the hair-serying no longer as an orna-
ment, but being superfuous weight
on the head-was entirely cut off.
According to Mishnah Nazir, iv: 5,
the cutting off of the hair is considered
a disagreement, which the husband
could veto in case of his wife being
Nazarite. Some few believe that the
custom dates from the very earliest
times, and they found their opinion upon
the allusion thereto in Deuteronomy,
chapter XXI r. Referring to the mode
prescribed for taking a captive woman
for wife, the text says: Then thou shalt
bring her home to thine house, and she
shall shave her head. Jewish Chron-

A Brave Girl.

Mrs. Mckay, of Yreka, CAL, is said to
possess more courage and presence of
mind and strength combined than any
other schoolmarm in the world. While
on her way to school through an open
field she was attacked by an infuriated
steer. To have turned and run might
have been fatal, and no gallant young
man was near enough to rash to the
rescue. She therefore did the only
thing that could have saved her-literal-

held on to him until help arrived. She

much admiration.

ROBIN AND I.
GOOD WORDS.

Once upon winter day,
AS | sat, forlorn and sad,
Thinking, in a tretful way,
Ofthe time when | was glad
Hopping lightly Ger the snow,
Came robin that know.
On the window ledge he stood.
With bright, inquiring eye;
Twas compact that be should
Always call in passing by,
Just to show we might pretend
Each to entertain friend.
When saw my tiny guest
Waiting for his daily crumb,
Dainty, trim and self-possessed,
Neverdoubting it would come,
{ ! could almost hear him say;
Mistress, food is scarce to- day."
And my heart made sad reply
As the little dole threw,
Strange that one SO poor as I
Should have store enough for two!
Robin, If such thing could be,
Would you throw crumb to me?"
Not sound disturbed the hush
Save my own impatient sigh
Robin to q neighboring bush
Darted off without goodbye.
Howl you leave me, faithless bird,
As ] waited for word.
All / wronged that heart of flame, .
Through the silence, sweet and clear
Forth his CHEEKY carol came,
And I held my breath to hear,
For that dear familiar strain
Woke my better self again.
T was benediction sweet.
Chanted in foreign tongue
Like those graces after meat,
By the warbling scholars sung,
Where the reverend customs hold,
Handed down by men of old.
Did l dream that, as he sang,
Some one entered at the door,
That some childish laughter rang.
And small footsteps crossed the floor?
Who hath touched my lips with wine,
Mellow juice of Aud Lang Syne?
Suddenly the music ceased,
Yet the silence breathed Of balm,
Art thou flown then, small hedge priest,
Somewhere else to raise the psalm?
"Man," the Master finely said,
''Doth not live alone by bread"

DUFF Browns Ride.

81 don't expect to live much
longer, and after l am dead l want
you to put in the papers the story Of
that ride had from Prospect to
Brockton in 1862"
The speaker was Duff Brown, an
old locomotive engineer, who was
lying at his home in Portland, this
county, dying with consumption.
This was several weeks ago. On the
7th Of this month he died. He was
nearly go years old. His story Of the
awful ride is this:
''In 1869 l was running a mixed
train on the Buffalo, Cory & Erie
Railway. The track between Pros
pect or Mayville Summit and Brock
ton Junction is so crooked that,
while the distance is actually only
ten miles the curves make it by rail
fourteen. The grade for the whole
distance is over seventy feet to the
mile.
"About 0 o'clock on the night Of
August II, 1869, we reached the
Summit with train of two passen-
ger cars, six oil cars and box car.
The latter contained two valuable
trotting horses, and their keepers
with them, on their way, l believe,
to the Cleveland meeting. There
were fifty or sixty passengers in the
two cars. got the signal from the
conductor to start, and pulled out.
We had got under considerable head
way, when, looking back, I saw that
an oH'car in the middle Of the train
was on fire. reversed my engine
and whistled for brakes. The con-
ductor and brakeman jumped off,
They uncoupled the passenger cars
and set the breaks on them, bring
ing them to a stop. Supposing that
the brakes on the burning oil cars
would also be put on, called to "A
brakeman on the box car to draw the
coupling pin between that car aad

A Big Territory.

The extent of this northwest ter4
ritOry and the vast distances be-
tween points are more than Eewil-
dcring. Alaska itself Is equal in
area to all Of the United States east
of the Mississippi river. Counting
the Aleutian chain, the PribylOf
group and the 1000 islands Of tho
Alexander archipelago, the total
area OF the Alaska islands is 81, POS
square miles.
The island of Attu, the last Of the
Aleutian chain, is us far west Of Sln
Francisco as Bangor, Me-, is east of
it, and the indented coast line Of
Alaska, measuring over 25,0OO miles,
is even greater than the whole coast
line of the Atlantic and PaCifl"
shores Of the United States put to-
gethGr. Southern Alaska, as it il
called, comprises the narrow strip Of
territory that extends southwLrd
from Mount st. Elias to Dixon chan
mel, the boundary line between
Alaska and British Columbia. This
thirty-mile strip of land, with
its outlying islands, is the best
known part of the territory, and,
with the exception Of Onaliska and
the Seal islands, is the seat Of the
only white settlements of any con-
sequence or promise. Dense forests
clothe the islands and mainland Of
southern Alaska and "darken re-
giOn half as large as Europe"
Although the rocky foundations
are only covered with a thin, sandy
soil, vegetation fiourishes with II
rankness that cannot be surpassed in
the tropics. The close forests Of
yellow cedar, Sitka and Douglass
spruce, Jeffreys pine and balsam fir
have never been devastated by fires,
and for unnumbered ages only gla-
ciers or avalanches have interfered
with the steady processes of nature.
The Russians cleared little ground
about their settlements, but later in
habitants have made no efforts in
that way, since crops cannot be
raised with success and there are not
enough horses or cattle for any one
to direct their attention to grasses
that cannot be dried inthe constant
downpOur. The stumps of trees
will never rot in the ground, and
the fallen trunks in the forest form
network like the corners of rail
fences, with each log covered with
thick mosses and grasses, and bear
ing dense growth of rank ferns,
bushes and small trees.
1t is wholly impossible to pene-
trate the forests without a path first
being bewn through the thickly
ranged q trunks, and in the wood
paths abo Sitka one frequently
sees trees 4 10 and three feet in di-
ameter, growing over the PROSTATE
forms of pines of even greater
dimensions. If you step aside from
the path to force your way through
the under5rush to reach clusters Of
crimson and orange salmon berries,
you may suddenly be engulfed, and
sink two or ten feet into a pitfall Of
messy logs. Only the certainty that
there are no snakes or creeping
things in Alaska encourages one to
venture aside from the narrow and
graveled paths that beneflcent Rus
sian rulers caused to be made about
Sitka.-" Ruham1h." in 81. LOpis

of his interest in him on her account,
of the search for him, of the future

back-''a future YOU know, my lads,

ferred them to his own record as a

crew to witness its truth. In short,
the tide of wrath was stemmed.
Hoarse murmurs Of assent greeted
his closing questions as to the wis
dom and Justice of his conduct
toward the boy. Rough acknowl-

ORIGIN OF "DEkDwOoD." THE
origin of DeadwoOd is-not generally
known, yet 1t none the less illus
trates the waggery Of undertakers,
as that's the most considerate term
for the trick. A certain man lost
his wife, and ordered a first-class
funeral. Everything went off in
the best OF style until the coffin was
lowered into the grave, when, owing
to the smallness of the hole or awk-
warClness Of the attendants, a piece
of the coffin was chipped off, A
friend picked it up and handed II to
the afflicted husband as a relic Of his
wife. Months, having elapsed be-
fore the bill was presented, for It
was first-class If the funeral was not.
Not paid, theundertaker sued. The
defendant produced the piece Of the
coffin, exclaiming: "Pve got the
dead wood on you. It's not rose
wood as you have charged me, hut
pine" Hence the word from which
the celebrated city in the Black Hills
