Girls WHO Sen Their Hair.

"Do Ne have many girls come to
sell their hair2 Well, L should say
SO, butswe don't make a business of
buying on account of the risks we
would have to run. L have had
girls come to me and offer to sell
their hair as it was on their heads.
No; they don't get good prices, sl5O
to $500 being as much as ever
give. l know of one case, however,
where well known society woman
took a fancy to the hair of young
lady she met accidentally, and she
paid the highest price 1 have ever
knowntor head of hair. The young
lady in question had luxuriant
growth OF golden brown hair, and
one day she was approached by this
lady, who was compelled to use false
hair, who said to her, Miss if
at any time you desire to part with
your hair, you can find a customer
in me. The young lady was in
need of pin money at the time and
said, Well, am not particular
about keeping itnow, as it is a little
too light for my TASTE So she
agreed to have her hair cut, and in
payment received $3.50. If girls
could always get such sum for
their flowing locks, there would be
a great many more short haired
young ladies about the city.

Every season on many farms
there is a great bother through lacH
Of conveniences for quick and easy
handling of the hog crop. The jot
of turning the pigs into pork i.
made far more difficult and expen-
sive than it need to be. Coopera.
tion among farmers should secure :
full set,of all needed convenience:
in each neighborhood where the
number OF hogs each farmer kills
does not make it worth while to pro
vide a set for each farm. We have
often seen half day occupied in
killing and dressing three or fouI
hogs. On other farms, with better
conveniences, 20 hogs are killedand
dressed in a day. Its disagreeable
and dirty work, therefore the more
need for getting through with it as
soon as possible.
Hogs after killing should be al:
lowed to hang over night, and i
slightly frozen in the morning il
wiz be ali the better. Do not, how.
ever, put the pork into the barrel
while tits frozen, as it viii not take
the salt before spelling. The reason
for this appears to be that freezing
the pork fills it with air, which be.
comes filed with microbes which
are retained in the barrel in contact
with the meat as it thaws. After
the frozen pork is thawed wash the
pieces thoroughly, taking care to
get all blood out of them. Rub salt
into them before packing in the bar
rel. If no blood is left in the pieces
and weights are placed over the
pork to keep it under the brine,
there will be no difficulty in keep
ing it sweet an entire year. To
make sure, it is well toward spring
to take the brine out and boil it to
remove any impurities it may have
gathered. All the scum that rises
on the brine is evidence of what
would cause a good deal of trouble
if left until hot weather comes

81 am getting to be the most bare
faced and versatile liar on earth,
said the bachelor, aand it's all on
account of two little innocent babies.
Two of my friends al the Office have

honor of paternity both boys. One

continued the bachelor, stroking his
bald head with the air of connois-
seur infancy, abut the boys IN the
Office were loyal. They swore it
was the brightest looking kid they
had ever seen and that it was the
image of Jones.
eff it had been any one else's
child, Jones would have knocked
somebody down for the insult, but
he took.it as a great compliment
and stuck the picture up in frame
on his desk.
"This was too much for Smith

Smith thought it was beautiful, and
when some one suggested that the
boy looked just exactly like him he
ordered drinks all around and put
the picture up on his desk as a
further opposition to Jones'.

WI.o Discovered America :

Mr.. 81. Yule Oldham, lecturer on
geography at che University Of
Cambridge, has recently been put
ting forward with much force facts
which seem 10 prove that tho
Portuguese discovered Brazil forty
four years before Columb bus reached
the West Indies. In l44S ANDREA
Blanche made a MS. map in lon
don, on which he gave the Portu-
guese discovery of Caps Verde, in
1445, and in addition showed south
west of that cape-in the direction
of Brazil-a long stretch of coast
line, with an inscription saying
that aGenuine Island is distant
1 500 miles to the vest On Be
haim's globe of 1892 a Iargs island
is shown in the position indicated
by Blanche. The treaty with
Spain which put the line separating
Spanish aud RoItugueass donlihioa
$40 leagues west Of the Cape Verde
Islands is supposed to have been
secured by Portugal's insisting up
on the rights given by the discovery
of the alleged island. Herrera, the
Spanish hiatoriographer says Co
lumbus in his third voyage sailed
southerly "to find out whether King
John of Portugal had been mistak-
en-, who affirmed that there was a
continent to the southwark. . In
1900 Cobral, on his way to India,
was carried to the Brazilian coast,
and what happened to him might
well have occurred to others as soon
as vessels began to round Cape
Verde. oldham's contention is inter
esting, but his point can hardly be
considered fully proven.

The GraYe of Lafarette.


"While in Paris short time ago,
said a traveller recently, according
to the Washington Post, at occur
ed to me that it was a fitting act to
make a pilgrimage to the tomb OF
that illustrious Frenchman dear to
the hearts of all American patriots,
Marquis de La Fayette. I asked a
number of people before 1 could
find anyone to enlighten me as tc
the spot, but after repeated inquiry
ascertained its location. The grave
is situated in old Paris, within the
grounds of a convent that the an
cestors of La Fayette founded, and
where repose the remains of many
of the French nobility.
"The first thing that attracted
my attention in connection with the
hero's tomb was that above it4ioated
silken flag bearing the Stars and
Stripes. Itseems that good many
years ago an. American gentleman
left in his will sum of money to be
used for the special purpose of keep
ing an American flag forever flying
above the grave of La Fayette. Ii
has done SO without intermission
from the day the will went into eff
feet, and whenever through the
wear of the elements one flag be-
comes unserviceable, new one
straightway takes its place.
Through untold centuries the
emblem ofthe country which in its
early struggles for liberty had his
beneficent aid will wave above his
ashes.''

Deatll After ami Nof 50 4rIm.

Familiarity with death is apt to
alter ones earlier conceptions of it.
Two ideas are very generally ac-
cepted which experience shows to
be false. One is that the dying
usually fear death; and the other,
that the act ofdying is accompanied
by pain. 1t is well known to all
physicians that when death is near
its terrors do not seem to be felt by
the patient. Unless the imagina-
tion is stimulated by the frightfuI
portrayal of the epangs of death, .
or of the sufferings which some be-
lieve the soul must endure after dis
solution, it is rare, indeed, that the
last days or hours of life are passed
in dread. Oliver Wendell Holmes
has recorded his protest against the
custom of telling person who docs
not actually ask to know that be
cannot recover. As that loving OBJ.
server of mankind asserts, SO must
everyone who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost al
ways come to understand that re-
-covery is impossible it is rarely
needful to tell anyone that this is
the case. Whom nature gives the
warning death appears to be as lit
tie feared as sleep. Most sick per-
sons are very, very tired; sleep
long, quiet sleeps what they
want. have seen many people die.
I have never seen one who seemed
to fear death except when it was or
seemed to be rather far away. Even
those who are constantly haunted
while strong and well with dread
of the end of life forget their fear
when that end is at hand.
AS for the act of dying-tbe final
passage from life to death-it is alb
solutely without evidence that the
oft-repeated assertions of its pain
fulness are made. Most people are
unconscious for some hours before
they die, and in the rare cases
where consciousness is retained un-
impained until few minutes before
the end the last sensation must be
of perfect calm and rest. Itisworse
than cruel to add to the natural
dread of death which oppresses the
majority of us while in good health
the dread of dying.

Iy by two churches. When the
meetings were concluded one domi-
