believe they mean business.

is an outrs.ge to arrest Browne. I look
for the parties st Washington to be COM

American Railroad Puzzles.

1t is impossible to get clear and &C.
curate idea of the financial administrs-
tion of American railroad lines. Many
of the great companies present the APP
pearance of a real chaos, of labyrinth
in which it is almost impossible to find
ones way. This Is due to various
causes. not to refer to the desire which
the managers of a company may have
to keep out the light. Many compa-
MES do not confine themselves to trans
portation; they poss ass mines, they
make a commission in merchandise,
they construct and operate elevators,
they operate canals, they are proprie-
tors or lessees of distant lines; more
over, a portion of the freight has been
conceded to special companies. who pay
toll, who lend rolling stock to the COM
pany. and this company is stakeholder
in thcse suf'dia1S enterprises. Add ia
this that the stations are the common
prope -ty of several railway companies,
or belong 10 a particular company. I'm
der these conditions it is easy to SEQ
how complicated the accounts must be.
The consequence is that the capital in
vested changes incessantly, and that it
includes thousand diverse things.
Most of :he companies declare them.
selves unable to state even approx.
mately the sum of their real expenses

WELSH BIBLES.

Editions Through Which the Book Went
After ITS First Translation.
The date of the first Welsh Bible is
specially interesting. 1t was published
in the year of the defeat of the Spanish
Armada. in 1888. and serves to re-
mind what poor provision the
English government made for the edifi-
cation of the Welsh in the reformed
doctrines. Without possessing
Bible in the vernacular. it was irnpossi-
BILE for the Welsh clergy or laity to fol-
low the reformed service. though this
defect was partially remedied few
years earlier by the translation into
Welsh of the English prayer book, for
it must be remembered that at that
time none of the people of the northern
Welsh dioceses, and very few indeed in
the south, spoke or understood a word
of English.
This edition is so scarce that there is
only one copy, and that imperfect. in the
National library. How little it was
used may be gathered from the fact
that it was not till 1920, thirty-two years
afterward. that a revised edition was
published. After this time other edi-
tions appear at intervals of from ten to
twenty years down to the year 1907,
and at somewhat shorter intervals
down to 1878. which is the date of the
last calendar Welsh Bible in the cata-
logue of the British museum.-Quar-

HISTORY IN WIGS.

Record OF False Locks Kept by Hair Deal.
eF~-COntsE lons In Hair.
''Dealin4 in human hair is a peculiar
business" said the proprietor of wig
making est ablishment recently. 'Peo
pie do not understand the ms and outs
of a business that must on its face seem
SO simple.
''The mere matter of obtaining hair
with which to make wigs. switches and
other hair-vvork to adorn heads poorly
favored by nature seems easy. But il
is not SO. W.. have to exercise the great
est care in buying hair, it being abso-
lutely necessary to know from what
source it has been obtained. A great
deal of hair comes from the ash barrels
and garbage piles. You can see that
all dcsira BILE, yet people often wonder
why one wig costs four times as much
as another when in appearance both
are the same.
1.-THE source from which the-[hafr-ie
obtained has a great deal to do in
determining tho price of the goods If
hair has been cut from a fever patient
the price asked is considerably lower
than if it had been cut from the head
of healthy person. Hair, perhaps,
retains disease germs longer than any
thing else. That this is appreciated is
shown by the fact that even after hair
found in uncertain places has been put
which all the material used is sub
iected, still it does not command the
same price as the healthy article. One
would think that this process would
kill all disease germs. but it does not
seem to increase the value of such hair.
''When hair III collected it is thrown
into watts of boiling water, where it is
left to boil for considerable time.
After that it is put through a chemical
preparation and then after being
combed out and sorted in sizes it is
laid away for a year. We never use
any hair that has not been treated at
least year. Each box is marked with,
the date on which the hair was treated,
the place from which it came, etc, so
that we have a full history of every bit
of hair in stock.
eve meet some peculiar people in
our business. You would soon be con-
vinced that women can not claim ex-
elusive title to vanity. We find men
who are hairless more difficult toplease
than women. They insist upon having
this bald spot covered just SO, and their
way invariably happens to be the only
wary in which it can not he fixed."-

Germany's Youthful Criminals.

A German paper states that in conse-
Quence of the considera BILE increase in
the number of youthful criminals in
Germany betveen.12 and 1s years Of
age the imperial ministry of the in
terror at Berlin is contemplating the
reorganization of the compulsory edu-
cation system. The government has
in view the imitation of English insti-
tutions. AL the German laws our Ber-
lin correspondent points out have the
great fault that the interference of the
authorities is permitted only when a
child has committed some crime, but
they give no handle against morally
debased children who are still free
from crime The number of youthfl I
criminals has risen from 42,24O to 46,

There are a number of pctato-ped.
dlers going about from house to house
in Kansas City selling their wares from
wagons. They generally go in pairs.

stories have been converging to the

drummers' vernacular. which these
gentlemen carry and with which they
try to delude unsophistica ted women.
From all reports there are none such in
Kansas City, for none so far have been
deluded.
The peddler goes to the back-door
with handful of large, open-eyed.
clean-skinned potatoes, which he offers
for sale. If no sale is made he turns to
go, and then returning as if he had just
rememb ered something, he pulls pair
of gold-rimmed spectacles from his pocle-
ct. Offering them to the housewife

An east side lady had two visits from
the spectacle gentlemen. At the sec
ond visit after he had produced the
spectacles, the following dialogue took
place: ''Oh, yes,' said the lady, you
got them out of a car of potatoes
why, yes,' replied the potato spec
tacle man. How did you know
''And they were Iowa potatoes, were
they not?' asked the lady.

''Then," said the lady, 1.-The potatoes

WANTED TO TALK.
The Little fodder Who Had No Idea
Being Quiet.

Fhe Little fodder Who Had No Idea Of
Being Quiet.
An argument arose in a lounging
place not many evenings since as to
whether men-bachelors particularly
are really competent to take care Of
children.
After painful pause a commercial
agent who has the reputation of being
more than willing that his wife should
take entire care of his family spoke up.
''Men can't raise babies. They spoil
'em either by thrashin' 'em or giving
'em candy" Then he told how he was
coming back from a western trip last
month and went forward to the smoker.
He found opposite him a tall. clerical
looking gentlemen with a long-handled
brier pipe. and around him through the
heavy, smoke-laden air of the car gam
boiled the minister's little niece. girl
of very tender years.
.'Well," continued the story teller,
ss4he uncle wanted to smoke and read,
and the child wanted to talk. Finally.
to quiet her, he drew forth a paper bag
of grapes and with the injunction that
they caused inflammation and indiges-
tion.' he settled himself to his pipe and
his paper.
s.Uncle, won't you eat some grapes?''
He took two, carefully separating the
seeds from the pulp, and went on read
ing.
''Cncle, please swallow three of en-
whole. seed n skins n ALL And she
actually kept at him. continued the
drummer, ''without a let up until he
got desperate and gulpcd down three
whole grapes"
Here he paused to remark that a
woman would proba ably have managed
to turn the child's attention to the chu-
chu cars or the telegraph poles and kept
it of the grapes. BY way of adjoining
the tale the traveller went on to say
that the last he heard before he left the
smolxing-car was a colloquy between
the two, which ran like this:
=" Uncle. who's those folks going over
the bridge, n where they goin'"
I" 'Some of them to business. 1 sup
