Korean Use For Human Hair.

Human hair is in great demand in
some of the countries of Europe, and the
supply is said to be inadequate. Our
consul in Korea points out that there is
plenty and to spare in the Hermit King
dom. The Koreans" he adds, have
remarkably fine heads of hair, and they
put their 'combings' to use that have
never seen elsewhere. A very large
number of the saddlecloths placed under
the packs of their ponies are made of
hair woven into coarse mats or bags, and
the halters and head ropes of their ami
mails are largely composed of the same
material l believe that human hair is
largely exported from China to Europe,
and Korea could furnish large and
cheap supply did the people know there
there was a demand for it." Here's a

are of iron. All the hallway floors and
those in the chemical laboratories are
paved with red unglaZed tiles.
The building consists of three distinct
departments arranged for the study of
chemistry, physics and biology. each
having a separate entrance and being
without connection one with another.
The chemical and physical departments
occupy the first ana second floors and
the biological department the whole of
the third floor.
The chemical and physical depart
ments each have on the ground floor
general laboratory GO by 81 feet and
smaller laboratory SC by 90 feet, pro-
fossor's laboratory and private room,
also apparatus and dark room. On the
second floor there IS n lecture hall 60 by
81 feet, seating III students.
The biological department has gen
eral laboratory 60 by 81 feet, a museum
80 by 40 feet, a lecture hall SO by 26
feet physiological laboratory, prepara-
ton room, a professors laboratory and
q greenhouse, while there is also hall
reserved for the department Of geology
and mineralogy.
In the basement there are battery, gas
analysis, assay furnace, magnetic, con-
slant temperature and alcohol rooms,
and also quarters for the janitor. The
building is excellently lighted through
out, roomy and airy, and has every
modern cOOvnnioOcn and imDrOyemppf

The Way to Get Old.

To the banale and eternal question,
"How are your" the wise old man allows
himself but one answer, 81 am very
we'll" He knows perfectly we'll that his
innocent deception, if deception it be,
deceives no one. Perhaps it is we'll that
he does not realize, for of self conscious
ness we have enough and to spare, that
the remembrance of his fortitude, pigeon
holed and forgotten perhaps for long
years in the mind Of the listener, may
come forth one day to hearten that same
listener along the cruel way when it shall
be his turn to tread it.
For so are accounts carried forward
and not always to the wrong side of the
page, and if it is true that the sins of the
parents are visited on the children it is
equally true that the luster of their vir-
tues shines on long after the darkness
has covered them. Is he of those who
desire pity for their falling power? The
surest way of getting it is to keep 81

Almost as important and almost as
much neglected is the care for personal
appearance. After go vanity of the per-

that China's torture by natural methods
are due to the inventive powers of one man
if one could call human fiend by that
name. This man devised such fortunes as
the constant dropping of water upon a con-
demned man head. You think this triflin2
perhaps, but let me tell you that drop of
water falling at regular intervals upon the
head, never ceasing, first becomes irritat-
ing, then creates mental anguish, and after
few days the victim becomes raving mad.
Another of his inventions is keeping a man
awake for months. This also brings on
madness. After two or three weeks en-
forced sleeplessness the victim prays for
death. Another method is feeding TO re
pletion; another compelling a man to die
of thirst. These are horrible, and this Gus

ALL ABOUT PENS.
An Interesting Account of Their Invention
and Evolution.

ana evolution.
Sharp pointed bodkins. made of bronze,
of steel or of iron, were the first pens,
and they were used for cutting out let
tiers and hieroglyphics in the limestone,
sandstone or steatite of eastern countries.
Such pens were also used for writing on
Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made
of soft clay. and after receiving inscrip-
tons We're dried in the sun or baked in
the fire.
In the far east and in Egypt the cam
els hair pencil soon took the place of the
metal bodkin. With the pencil letters
were painted on the skins of animals
and the bark of trees, in much the same
manner that the Chinese draw them on
paper at the present day.
In Persia, Greece and Syria wax and
leaden tablets came into use, and the
stylus became the popular pen. The
stylus was made of bone, ivory or metal,
with one end pointed and the other flat
tened. The fattened end was used to
erase errors made in writing.
The use of parchment and papyrus,
however, called for a more flexible pen
than either the bodkin or the stylus, so
these pens a peculiar kind of reed was
used which was shaped to a point and
split, similar to the pens now in use.
In A. D. 553 it was discovered that
quilts made much better pens than reeds.
The quilts of the goose, the swan and the
crow were used principally. Several
centuries later, when writing paper was
introduced into England, the quill pen
was still the favorite writing instrument.
However, the qnill pens had been great
ly improved, and those from Russia and
Holland were excellent.
In the early part of the present century
there was demand for something better
and more durable than quill pens. Ac-
cordingly great many experiments
were made with horn, glass, tortoise
shell and finally with steel, silver and
gold. TWAS soon found that pens made
of horn and tortoise shell softened under
the action of the ink and We're not so
good as quill pens. Nor were the silver
pens very good. They were too elastic
and too easily worn at the points.
In 1903 steel was tried in Wlse's barrel
pens, but being poorly made and very
expensive they were not success. At
Birmingham, England, in 1920 the man
ufacture of steel pens began In earnest,
and they proved to be excellent. The
first gross of steel pens sold in Birming-
ham brought $50 at wholesale.
They were soon manufactured in great
numbers and have been getting better
and cheaper all the time, until now we
can. buy for a trife the best steel pen
made. Europe has always excelled in
the manufacture of steel pens, and Amer
lea is noted for the manufacture of gold
pens.-Philadelphi Times.

THE GAME OF WHIST.
American and English Systems and the
Chances In Holding Hands.

American and English Systems and the
Chances In Holding Hands.
There are two recognized systems, the
English and the American. In English
whist the game is five points and hOnors
acc. king, queen and knave of the
trump suit-are counted. In American
whist the game is still five points, but
honors are not counted The old Eng
lish game-long whist-consisted of
10 points, with honors counted. Ancri-
can whist is not the same as American
leads. These leads can be played by in
dividual players, whatever the game
may be-
Richard A Proctor has written a
good book on How to Play Whist. I"
He has also contributed articles to vari-
Gus magazines on the subject of chances
in card games. He calculated that there
are no less than $50, O13, $50, 600 ways
of making a whist hand, and that there
is only one chance in 1853, 753, 399, 900
and then, of course, the dealer's
trumps must be taken-of holding IS
trumps. Out of 1857, 533, 500 hands
dealt 342, 1872, 119 hands will contain
four cards of two suits, three cards of
one and two cards of one suit. There
are 90, 534, 079, O72 ways of making a
hand that shall contain one five card
suit, two three card suits and one two
card suit and 80, 900, 900, 900 ways of
making hand containing five cards of
one suit, four of another, three of a
third and two of fourth Fourth in the
order of frequency comes the hand con-
tanning one five card suit, one four card
suit and two two card suits. There are
81, 1872, 1856, $40 ways of making this
hand
"Only fifth in order of frequency,
says Proctor, comes the hand which
many suppose the most frequent, that Of
greatest uniformity of distribution, " one
four card suit and three three card suits
There are Sc, 9O5, $50, 100 ways of max
ing this hand The sixth hand, in point
of.frequency, is that which contains six
cards Of one suit, three of another and
two cards from each of two suits. Speak

cusses the Marlborough hand, F" which
contains no card over a nine 1t was so
called because Lord Marlborough used to
wager 81, 600 to 81 that hand of the
