The Bell of Justice.

Here is beautiful story which may
OF may not be true, but ought to be
true, if only for the lesson it CONVEYS.
In Atri, one of the cid cities of Italy,
which you will not find on modern
maps, so the story goes, the King
caused bell to be hung in tower in
one of the public squares, and called it
the "Bell of Justice" and commanded
that any one who had been wronged
should ring the bell, and so call the
magistrate of the city and ask and re-
ceive justice. When, in course of time,
the lower end of the bell rope rotted
away, wild vine was tied to it to
lengthen it; and, one day an old and
starving horse, that had been aban-
doned by its owner and turned out to
die, wandered into the tower, and in
trying to eat the vine, rang the bell.
And the magistrate of the city, coming
to see who had rung the bell, found
this old and starving horse. And he
caused the owner of the horse, in whose
service he had toiled and been worn
out, to be summoned before him, and
decreed that as this poor horse had
rung the Bell of Justice he should have
justice, and that during the remainder
of the horses life his owner should
provide for him proper food and drink
and stable. Golden DayS.

Some Facts About the Art of Manipulate
ing Human Hair.

Some Facts About the Art of Manipulate
ing Human 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, cut
ting and general management of the
human hair. The hair trade is dull
now. After the holidays people will
have more time to attend to their hair.
The average pay of female Ia Iressers
is s. week. Sometimes it reaches as
high as $19 per week, and sometimes
goes down to S.. A girl who UNDER
stands the business thoroughly can
command SlS week anywhere. One
hardresser in this city used to employ
140 girls, and paid out 500 weekly in
wages.
The profit lies in false hair. Women
that have their hair cut short and arc
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
confine their attention to Woodworking
alone, earn from So to $40 a week. 1t
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 COM
mercial travellers in Germany and
France. England and Belgium are
poor markets for hair, not because of
the scarcity, for both English and Bel
gian women have fine hair, but because
they will not sell it. When collected
it is put through a cleaning process,
severe enough to fetch the dirt out of
an elephants hide, and then dyed
several times over. The best hair
dressers never buy hair from the head
or from private hands.
Perfectly white hair is rare and COM
mands 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
white hair comes from the Angora rab-
bit. A perfectly white and abundant
wig of human hair would be worth at
least $1,000. Hair cut from the head
after death is never used by any good
hairdresser. 1t can not be used to any
advantage, as it will neither curl nor
twist. Hair can be proved by pulling
it to its utmost capacity. When
loosened it will contract to its former
length.-M Y. Mail and Express.

Swedish Family Names.

Although there are many Swedes in
this country but few Americans under
stand the old system of naming still
used in Sweden. l often hear people
ask how it is that the names of so
many Swedes end in "son." My moth
er's name was Eric johnson and l was
named Eric. In Sweden my name was
Eric Ericsson. When | came to this
country l did as all Swedes do when
they emigrate-took my fathers name.
This system of naming was never in
vogue among the Normans or Saxons,
and every person who is named Nelson
or johnson or Thompson or any other
"son' may be sure that he is a descend
ant of the old Scandinavian freebooters.

MY FIRST VALENTINE.

o, many long, long years ago

Framed in and out with loving words.
Again, all yes, and yet again
l unused upon the line
A poser" to my young heart then

But grit around with mystery's sheen,
queried not what it might mean.
Nor was I with the problem tasked,

With cheeks aglow and eyes ashine,

When with life's fuller knowledge,
The laurels at his feet were cast,
Hard won from school and college.
And faith and hope beside him stood,
Each promising all future good.

Its dark cloud dimmed our day;
And since the nation call I'd for men
How could hero stay?
Stay: with heart grand, stainless true
We babe godspeed THE boy in blue"

The lips smiled as in life.
