Four BILLIONS OF GoLD.-Paris's s
:i0,000,0o0 gold loan d per cent. has
been noated in triumph and the city
could float 81 similar loans on the
strength of subscriptions received. The
enormous total of 50 ,920, 100000 was of
fered for subscription surprising
commentary on the excellent credit of
the city and the large amount of idle
money that lies locked up in the Golfers
OF the world, awaiting sound invest
ments.
Conservative Judges estimate that
over 100000 people Of Paris were an
xious to invest in this popular loau. OF
this numbeg the vast majority were Of
the frugal middle class, intent on put
ting their small savings in the most
profitable place.
All through the city on Friday night
were gathered compact little masses OF
men and women-would-be investors
in front Of the various branches where
subscriptions to the loan could be placed.
In the most populous quarters the
yroops We're larger than ordinary, and
in front of the Hotel de Vile the crowd
was immense, reaching into the thou
sands.
Many in the expcctant throng took
their posts II hours before the doors
opened. Comfortable shopkeepers
brought chairs, rugs and good supply
of creature comforts with which TO
while away tie night, while many
poorer people made money by selling
their places in line to belated investors.
Most of the thrifty housewives bore
baskets, from which protruded loaf or
the neck of bottle of wine. Good
humored banter was heard on every
side. One man offered his knees as
seats at y apiece, and gallantly added,
Ladies first.
At last dawn broke on the shiverlnS
throng. At 9 o'clock the doors were
opened for the tightly packed ranks to
file in. TO each office was apportioned
certain number of bonds, which were
soon allotted. The Temps estimate
that over 900 people were outside
the Hotel de Vile, where only 4,00o
bonds were distributed, leaving 10000
people disappointed.

Wigs are Of very ancient origin
According to Xenophon, Astyages,
king Of the Modes, wore a wig. In
the writings OF Livy, Plutarch, and
many others, references are made to
this covering for the head, which was
made Of hair, silk, thread, or other
material The ancient Romans were
prone to use the natural hair, and
preferred the blonde locks Of the
Germans 1t is stated that Henry
Ill, of France. having lost his hair
by sickness, wore a wig, and his
courtiers began to follow his exam
