New Haven, Conn, is celebrated for hav-
ing given the name of "Punkin Head" TO
all New ~Englanders. It originated from
the Blue laws, which enjoined every male
to have his hair cut round by a cap. When
caps were not to be had they substituted
the hard shell of a ''punkin," which, being
put on tho head every Saturday, all hair
which protruded was clipped close to the
shells edge. Peters, in his History of
Connecticut" says:
What religious virtue was supposed to
be derived from the custom, l know not;
but there is much prudence in it. First, it
prevents the hair from snarling; second,
IL saves the use of combs; third, it can
not incommode the eyes by falling over
them, and fourth, such persons that
have lost their ears for heresy and other
wickedness annot conceal their misfort
une and disgrace.-St. Louis Republic.

One GIIs Story OF why h Prefers the

City with Less Pay and Freedom.
Here, Cash No. III" The writer had
Just entered one of the large dry goods
stores Of Boston during the holiday sales,
when he heard the above cry, and turning
to look at the speaker, 8 young lady OF 10
years, the recognition was mutual Less
than q year before she was sewing in q
wooden mill in one of the many mill towns
of New England, in which the writer had
been employed. She WIS q good sewer and
was paid tL25 per day, and although she
was an orphan she had a good home. and
paid but $3.50 per week for board, which
left her IS every week clear.
Now the question came to my mind,
How came she here, And having a desire
to hear her story, and there being no chance
to hold a long conversation with her at
that time, she made a date with me for the
next afternoon, which WAS Sunday. to call
at the hous where she was rooming. I
called, and met there two other girls, whom
she introduced to me as her "chums."
After conversing for some time upon diff
ferent subjects 1 asked her how It was that
/ found her working here In a store in Bos-
ton, or II she liked it, and IL she got more
pay than she got In the mill. She told me
the following story, and have no doubt
that II is the story of hundreds of store
girls in all the large cities. She had visited
the city q short time after 1 had left the
mill, and while in one of the large stores
she got the idea she would like to be a sales
lady, the work seemed to be so easy and
they all dressed SO nice
So, after going back to the mill. she could
not keep her mind on her work. Her mind
was In the city as q saleslady, and at last
she could stand 1t 40 longer. So she left
her position in the mill. left her nice home,
and came into the city. She applied for a
position as s~aleslady, and was offered g.
per week.
Why, how was she going to live on that
She could not get any kind of board for
less than IS, 8 a week. Where were cloth
ing and shoes and other things necessary
for her to have coming fromi Not out of
the other fifty cents that was left. oh,
that was none of their business, and II she
proved competent after three months they
would give her IS per week. She had a
little money saved, and had enough of cloth
ing for the present, so she would take it
rather than go back to the mill.
To the question of which was the harder
work, the mill or the store, her answer left
nc doubt in my mind which was the harder.
In them mill she was treated respectfully,
while In the store she had to put up with
all kinds of Cheap talk" from many Gus
toners, some Of whom were those cheap
kind of dudes" To the question Of why
she did not go back to the mill, she said she
could not, she had got so used to the city
that the quiet life of the mill would not do
for her now, but she wished that she had
remained in the mill, where she was happy,
instead of coming to the city, and her ad-
vice to all mill girls who thought that the
mill life was hard, II they wished for a
harder one, come to the city as a saleslady.
