It is said, too, that other southern States ars as heavily burdened. These loans date for the most part from about 1879; it is { significant indication of the prosperity that has been growing in that region, that during this period but forty-five farms have been sold in Georgia under the mortgages, and that an average of ninety per cent. of them are now paid as they become due.

 Dr. Peter Parker, who has just died in Washington, cid useful work in China, where he went as a missionary in 1884, after studying theology and medicine at Yale coll lege, and established q hospital at Canton for the treatment of eye diseases, but he was soon. obliged to open it to patient suffering from other complaints, and his skill in sur gerry and the reports of his remarkable cures brought over 2, ,oo0 under his care the first year. He gave several Chinese students an insight into his profession, and continued this work until 1840, when the outbreak of the opium war closed his hospital and sent him back to America He returned two years later, however, ,and took up the threads again; in 1S45 he became interpreter and secretary to the new embassy from the United States, keeping up his hospital work and also acting as charge d'afaires during the absence of the minister. Ten years later, after short visit to this country, he was sent to China as commissioner of this gov. ernment with fulf power to revise the treaty of 1844 He came back in 1857 for the last time and has since lived at Washington.

 On nearly all handsome gowns is to be more and ever-increasing application of tin sel braid of some sort. Some have the whole front sof the bodice covered with it.
 These tinsel braids so much in use are usually in the form of fiat half-inch-wide ealloon, of the color of the dress upon which threads either gold, bronze, copper or sii- verso thickly that the original color ia him ted at rather than seen.
 All evening dresses this winter have sleeves. Those of black lace and gauge for matrons have generally little arrangement of the gauge, puffed and beribbened and called by courtesy a sleeve, which comes down half way between the shoulder and the elbow Others have 8 puff of the material for the sleeve which is caught up to the shoulder-strap on the outer side of the arm, of which member they conceal but very small portion.
 For the very cold weather to be expected during the next two months are shown all sorts of winter skirts, made of cashmere, cloth and felt. As the bad weather under foot necessitates the frequent lifting of the skirts ct crossings, these gre made of pretty bright colors and neatly finished, for they are very apt te be seen. The universal passion for braiding is displayed here as well as everywhere else, and most of the dark red, blue and gray skirts have appliques of black braid.
 An economical way of disposing of old wrappers of silk or cashmere, when they do not happen to be of pale eolors and are worn out in the waist, is to cut of the body and set the skirts upon yoke, making them serve for a petticoat to wear in bad weather when white skirts cannot preserve their purity for ten minutes. Pale colored wrappers are neaIly always sxtrayagant, a they fade and soil To easily, and there are now 50 many beautiful and becoming shades among the darker tints thatzany cemplexion can be suited

About FaIse Hair,

A barber says that one of the few kinds of woman's work which is not overcrowded, and at which competent girls can always earn good wages, is that which includes the working, cutting and general management of the human hair. The hair trade is dull now. After thesholidays people will have more time to attend to their hair. The aver age pay of female hairdressers is $S "a week
 Sometimes it reaches as high as SIS week, and sometimes goes down to $5. A girl who understands the business thoroughly can command SIS a week anywhere. One hairdresser in this city used to employ 40 girls, and paid out $700 weekly in wages.
 The profit lies in false hair Women that have their hair cut short and are tired of it, buy wigs or "switches' to wear in the street. Those whose hair is poor, or who suffer from badness, wear false hair at all times. Girls who conine their attention to hair-working alone earn from $8 to $10 a
 week. It is an art that needs skill and no small amount of patience and perseverance to succeed with. The hair with which the wigs are made is collected by commercial travellers in Germany and France. England and Belgium are poor markets fer hair, not because of the scarcity, for both Eng fish and Belgian women have fine hair, but
 because they Will not sell It. when col- lected it is put through cleaning pro- cess, severe enough to fetch the dirt out of an elephants hide, and then dyed ssv- eral times over. The best hairdressers never buy hair from the head or from private hands.
 Perfectly white hair is rare and com naands almost any price. Natural curling is also of considerable value A good wig of white hair costs $40. The material of which these wigs are made is clipped from the goat and seldom from the human head. A plenteously soft silky kind of snow-whits hair comes from the Angora rabbit. A perfectly white and abundant wig of human hair would be worth at least $1 1000. Hair cut from the head after death is never used by any good hairdresser. II cannot be used to any advantage as il will neither curl nor twist. Hair can be proved by pulling it to it's utmost capacity. When loosened it will contract to it's former length,

AN INTERPRETING SCHEME.

AN INTERESTING SCHEME. New York has Forestry commission, and it appears to do some work. It is about to ask the legislature for some new laws One of it's plans has interest for people outside of the State. In view of the growing popularity of the Adirondack region as a summer resort the commissioners think the legislature might empower them to lease State lands to people for purposes Of recreation. The presence of occupants on such lands, holding under con ditions that might be imposed, would, it is urged, be benefit instead of an injury to the public domain as whole. The occupants would be interested in preserving their leased premises unharmed by marauders and ire sponsible summer squattsrs. They would erect something like permanent aSodes for the hot weather and thus become to degree guardians in their respective neighborhoods. There is now no law by which such privileges can be acquired. The theory of the commis- sioners is that the leases proposed should be limited to five acres to any one lessee and to ten years duration. Private owners lease eligible sites for summer homes in the forest. Every year the number of these transaotions increases. The State owns many most desir- able places that could be let for good sums, thus getting revenue that would help pay the expense of taking care of the forest pre- serve.
 If the commissioners get this law passed, as they doubtless will, the 'tsquattsrs" on the islands of Lake George will probably be dis turbed. The commissioners already have authority over these squatters, but the attor- ney general advised them that it was not wise to disturb those occupants, who had gone up- on the islands in good faith on the authority of the Land commissioners. There being no law permitting the Forestry commissioners to lease the islands or to permit them to be occupied, they were meG with the alternative of driving of the occupants or letting them alone. They chose the latter course, intend ing to recommend, as they do in their report this year, the passing of an act providing for the leasing of State lands in small parcels, as stated above. While the controversy rose from the occupancy of the desirable islands of Lake George, the remedy proposed is de- sired to apply to all the forest preserve, whether in the Adirondack or the Catskil1 country.
 It is probable that this scheme will work well. It will bring money into the treasury of New York and will please many who like to live lin the woods" in the summer.
