There is a human hair market at Morlans,
in the department of the Lower Pyrenees,
France. 1t Is little known except, perhaps,
in Paris, where it has a high reputation
The market is held every other FRIDAY.
Hundreds of traifcking hairdressers throng
to the little place from far aud near to buy
up the hair of the young peasant girls The
dealers wander up and down the long, mar
row street of the town each with huge
pair of bright shears hanging from black
leather strap around his waist, while the
young girls who wish to part with their
hair stand about in the doorways, usually
in couples. The transaction is carried ON
in the best room of the house. The hair Is
let down, the tresses combed out, and the
dealer names the price This varies from
three to twenty francs If bargain is
struck, the dealer lays the money in the
open palm of the seller, applies his shears.
and in a minute the long tresses fall on the
floor. The purchaser rolls up the tresses.
places them in paper aud thrusts them into
his pocket OF course a maiden can rarely
see her fallen tresses disappear into the
dealers pocket without crying. But she
consoles herself with the thought that it
will grow again, and by looking at the
money in her hands.
There is at present "A scarcity of fancy
human hair in the market The rarest hair
is pure white, aud its value is constantly
increasing and if it is unusually long
that is, from four to five feet--the dealer
can get almost his own price, while if it is
of ordinary length it is worth from 315f.
to 5OOf, an ounce. The fact that pure
white hair is the Court coitfure throughout
Europe keeps the demand for it very high.
1t is much priced by American women

enrich its folds, for white hair is held u

evening rather late for dinner He had
had a very fatiguing day in his business,
and was by no means in the most serene of
tempers, and his spirits were by no means

pipe had burst and that it was necessary
for him to 90 out at once to procure
plumber. As he was putting on his over
coat in the hall he heard the voice Of his
six-year-od daughter calling to him over
the railing from the hall two stories above.

In one Of the stores on Broadway lately
says a New Hork Herald writer, | noticed
some fine Russia leather goods Of various
kinds. aud was tempted through curiosity
to take "A closer look at them
why is it, asked the proprietor, that
these goods cannot be manufactured in
this country as well as in Russia =
Bless your heart, he said, these goods
are made right here, in this country, and
neither Russia nor any other place can
make them any better You see, for a
long while Russia enjoyed II monopoly of
this sort of work until Connecticut Yam
kee happened ON the scene and caught on,
so to speak, Ia the secret Of its manufac-
ture.
"rhis leather was manufactured i'll a
large factory situated in one of the towns
of northern Russia. The owners possess
ed some secret about curing the leather,
which they iealously guarded England
aud other countries sent operatives to this
factory to learn the secret, but when a
man once entered this factory it was a life
job with him He had to stay there.
'Other men were sent there disguised,
but so carefully was the place watched that
nothing could be learned and finally all at
tempts at discovering the secret were aban-
Toned and the Russians were allowed to
continue their monopoly undisturbed, al
hough many limitations of it were manu-
facured.
.'Ahout this time the late Marshall p
Jewell was minister To Russia from this
country Mr. Jewell had been brought up
ia the leather business, and was then the
owner of several tanneries in Connecticut.
OF course he had heard Of this now famous
factory, and, more from curiosity than
from any desire to learn the secret Of the
business, he expressed "a wish to inspect
works.
'lb Russian authorities never suspect
rd that NJ. Jewell was interested in the
leather business himself and in his official
capacity the factory owners, who were aid

secret felt complimented that Mr. Jewell

for professorship. To found an institu-
tion and call it a university in these days,
with an income of less than quarter of
million of dollars year is broad farce.
Even with that sum many of the most i'm
portant spheres of university activity must
be neglected Twice the amount is not
more than adequate, and Harvard univers-
ity, which has AN income of more than
