TRANSATLANTIC HAIR.
A Queer Custom That Is Followed by tho
Cninrsn.

NElAncsts-
One Of the many queer things in that
queer land-Chins-is the occupation
OF hair tranSplantinr. Wong Ching
Foo tells about Is in the st. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Chinese superstition made the hair
planting business an Imperative pro-
fession. Chinese physioFnomists say
the eyebrows aud whisiers of 4 man
are lust as essential in their relations
To his success IN life as his other quail
fications. II the eyebrows are thin or
his whisllers are sickly, his luck viii
be thin and his health Will be poor.
Therefore, in order 70 stop the train Of
bad luck which nature has unfor-
tunatelv ordained for him he orders
his eyebrows changed or replanted by
hair planting professor
This is done BY first carefully pulling
out the rebellious or unluclly hairs in
the eyebrows, The next operRt ton is
to select spot Of hair on the neck of
the patient or behind his ears that
would suit for a fine eyebrow. and re
duce them down 70 the right length. A
fine pair OF sharp Pinchers Is picked up
with the left hand, and selecting a
suitable-siEed hair, the operator jerks
1t out by the root and with the right
hand ne quickly pierces a minute hole
In the skin Of the bald eyebrow in
slantinC direction. and while the point
Of the needle-like instrument - still on
the edge Of the hole, the root OF the
pulled-up hair is carefully inserted.
But If blood oozes out Of il before the
hair IS planted the hole viii not bs
used that day for fear OF Inflammation
and not sufficient natriment for the
hair 70 take root. This operation IS re-
Peated until every hair il the eye
brows i replanted or enlarged.
The patient usually experiences pain
In the eye brows for about tweatv-four
hours, after which he goes out and
shows himself TO his friends

STORY OF THE INDIAN MuTiNY.
An English Soldier Who ws<hed IN Gum
powder with a Naked light.


powder with a naked light.
Mr.. Forbes Mitchell, author of Penn
iniscences of the Great Mutiny," found
himself, says Youths Companion,
without an overcoat after one of the
battles at Lucknow, and, being unable
to sleep for the cold, got up in the
night went into a room OF the Shah
Nujeef-where his regiment was en-
camped-took a lighted lamp from its
shelf and. shading it with his hand,
walked to the door of the great domed
tomb, or mosque, hoping to find coat
which some Sepoy in his hurried de-
paTture had left behind Inn. He
peered inside, and then, holding the
lamp high over his head, walked in till
he was near the center of the vault.
Here he felt his progress obstructed by
black heap four or FIVE feet high,
which felt to his feet as If he were
walking in loose sand. He lowered
the lamp and saw instantly that ne
was up to his ankles in loose gun
powder. About forty hundredweight
of it lay in heap before his nose,
while a glance to the left revealed
more than a hundred eight-inch shells,
all loaded with the fuses fixed, and
spare fuses, slow matches and port
fires lying in profusion beside the
shells
II took in the danger at glance
he writes. Here was up TO my knees
IN powder, In the very bowels of a
magazine, with a naked light! My
hair literally stood on end l felt the
skin on my head lifting my bonnet off
my scalp. My knees knocked together,
and, despite the chilly night air, a
cold perspiration burst out all over me
and ran down nv face and legs. / had
neither cloth nor handkerchief in nv
pocket, and there was not moment to
be lost. Already the overhanging
wick OF Che Indian lamp was threaten
ingto shed its smouldering red tip TO the
magazine at my feet. Quick as thought
/ put my left hand under the down
dropping flame and clasped II with a
grasp of determination. Holding Il
firmly, turned slowly 20 the door and
walked out. with nv knees knocking
one against the other. felt not the
slightest pain from grasping the burn
ing wick, until I was in the open air.
but when / ope ned nv hand I felt the
smart acutely enough. l poured the
oil out of the lamp into the burned
hand, and, kneeling down, thanked
God for having saved myself and alb
the men lying around me from destruc-
ton. Then l got up, and, staggering
rather than walking TO the place
where Capt. Dawson was sleeping,
and. shaking him awake, told him
Of my discovery and the fright 1 had
got.
bah, Corporal Mitchell" was his
answer. You have woke up out 6f
your sleep and have got frightened at
q shadow for my heart was still
humping against my ribs and my voice
was trembling"
The upshot Of the matter was that
on seeing the corporal's burnt hand
and the powder nearly half an inch
thick sticking 70 his feet and damp
CATERS. the captain was almost as
badly scared as Mitchell himself The
sleeping men were aroused, the fire
was put out as expeditiously as pos
sible, and q sentry was posted 81 the
door Of the mosque TO prevent anyone
from entering.

BosTOX, Aug. % Mr.. William Young,
author of THE Z j4h" 'Ganeion, Pea
dragon" etc, achieved a triumph tonight
IN the initial production of his latest play,
Young Amn," at the Columbia theater.
Young ANA" is in four acts and is a
comedy drama in the truesJ sense or the
word, ana distinctly and pleasIngly Amer
lean throughout.
Tae author has departed from the con-
ventionHl and the result is one for con-
graduation and commentator. The
play ran smoothly today for first Drodu c-
tion, beginning at 6 and finishing at 1925.
It deals with erriy colonial life in the Car
olinas just previous to the successful
efforts Of the colonislists to throw off the
yoke OF British oppression.
Strong situations, genuine comedy and
acting OF high merit abound from the ris-
ing of the curtain TO the close. In the last
act, the climax Is reached in origin llity
when the loyal dame Of ''Shor!ey Hall"
the home about which the scenes are laid,
deserted in the cause she believed just, by
every kith and kin. buckles On the sword
of her forefathers and rallies her slaves IN
the cause OF her king.
The story of the play hinges on the
efforts of Major Molinaux, a Carpet war
rior ana roue OF the British army, TO 90.
tain the hand Of Judith Shirley, the bea u
tifUl niece of Mrs. Shirley, the loyalist
dame of Shirley hall.
The major is aided by Mrs. Shirley; Mr..
Teddy VernOo, young man with big
heart but impulsive head, who loves the
niece leads an unpleasant life in
consequence; country practitioner,
a youthful wooer of Mrs. Shirley, leader OF
a colonial regiment; and an Irish corporal
are the principal characters. Miss Judith
is easily the central figure in the play for
three acts and then Dame Shirley tries for
the honor
The coQuetting of a niece, leads to a chsl-
lsnge and shows the true character aud In
the third her gallant ride 10 rescue her
lover from the clutches OF his enemies.
