Hair Planting to Order.

One OF the many queer things In
that queer land-China is the occu.
patton OF hair transplanting. Wong
Ching Foo tells about it IN the ST
Louis "Po Dispatch"
Chinese superstition made the hair
planting business an imperative pro.
fession. Chinese physiognomists SAY
the eyebrow and whiskcrs OF a
man are Just as essential in their re.
lations TO his success IN life as his
other qualitlc tions. II the eyebrows
are thin or his whiskers are sickly,
his luck will be thin and his health
will he poor Therefore, in order TO
stop the train OF bad luck which
nature has unfortunately ordained
for him, he orders his eyebrow,
changed or replanted by hair-plant.
Ing profe sor.
This is done by first pulling out
the rebellious or unlucky hairs in the
eyebrows The next operation is 10
select spot OF hair on the neck OF
the patient or behind his ears that
would suit for Hue eye brow and re-
duce them down TO the right length.
A fine pair OF sharp pincers is picked
up with the left hand and selecting

The Horse Grow Smaller.

"Tbc bringing OF Missouri and
Kentucky horses into our Spanish
American territories has raised the
average size of these beasts there
greatly" said the old Santa Fc trailer.
IL remember years ago when prac-
tically all the horses in New Mexico
were bronchos which, however,
looked big neside the still smaller
Spanish mules and burros asses, }
But a man Inv ng a few months In
that country got used To their stan
dard Of size, so that when he went
back East over the plains il was easy
for any smart tiader who first met
him TO palm of small horse upon
him rs Icing good one. In those
days people, YOU know, Travelled
mainly on horseback. An unsus, ect.
ing M II, just returning from Santa
Fe after buy states horse at
the Missouri liver, would see his
steed apparently shrink in size every
day as h. travelled among the large.

TO make "A good thing out OF pilgrims

And One That Ia Sometimes Very Much
Deceived.
This is very good world TO live in
and one that lends its sYmpathies
readily TO the needs OF Others, says
The New York Recorder The world
reaches out eagerly To truth and
honesty, and pins its ia tn where
those virtues xSc scOvered, and pats
itself on the shoulder for lending a
helping hand. The world appreciates
4 good idea, too, and bit OF senti-
ment appeals TO it as keenly as
though IL we're not 3, 900 years old.
! The residents OF Washington
Heights about now are rejecting upon
a good idea and bit OF sentiment as
woman has been the rounds OF the
handsome homes In that interesting
suburb selling thimbles. In this
season OF finan ial depression thin
bles would hardly seem to be the
thing in which to find a livelihood,
but sometimes fortunes lurk in little
things The thlmble In question
had an impracticable attachment at
the side for threading the need c and
yet, in spite OF that, a woman made
living out OF them.
She was a rosy checked woman,
with bright, expcctant brown eyes,
that appealed TO the friendly world
for the living IL owed her. She met
the world three quarter, OF the way,
4 IA h4 hnnnGt m
bles, and the victory was hers. She
tod her interesting, honest story
about her sick husband, and while
she displayed the merits OF the
thimble TO her listeners and told how
many people in the house next door
had bought them, she made vast in
roads upon the sympathes OF her
patron They noted her hands, as
she displayed the thimble on the end
OF blunt finger how red they were
with honest toll, and when she
smiled, even her teeth and dimplcs
appealed in her efforts at an honest
living. Every woman bought "a
thimble at 30 or - cents and the
tears of sympathy responded TO heI
own tears OF gratitude. SO much
for an idea ard SO IN .ch for senti.
mcnt. There are more brass
thimbles on Washington Heights
this week than YOU can count and
the women who pinned their faith to
that clever swindler are now taking
the pins out.
The world Is very keenly alive al.

POISONING AS A FINE ART.
italians of OIden Days Took Life in Many
Skillful Ways.

The art of 20 soning in these days
ls not cultivated with zest or skill.
Even in modern romantic and melo-
dramatic literature the pOisOner
works in what the Boston Journal
calls crude fashion; his one idea Is
to get the poison in the stomach or
the victim. Detection is almost in
evitabte and punishment follows.
Italians ~ the fifteenth, sixteenth,
and the first halt OF the seventeenth
century showed most surprising skill.
Italian remOvers OF enemies were

they were subtle, sure. and, at the

was poison in the pnmme OF the sad

is said that Henry, the Emi eror and
Pope Clement XVI. were poisoned in
a draught OF the holy eucharist.
There were still more subtle devices,
tco horrible to tell, but searchers
int the dark yet splendid history OF
the renaissance and students may
find therein many shndder

An Incident OF the Crimc,n War.


A mandate had gone forth to the
effect that ce tain suburb OF Sebas-

body OF English. The attack was TO

omplctely successful The occupants

dinners untouched on the table In
one cottage was found "A child about
six months old, clothed, and asleep

An oflcer carried away the little

news Of its apture TO headquarters.

all possible search and inquiry should

Word came back that the two chill
