EASTERN Half CUTTING.
The Experience Constitutes an Event in
the Lives of Many People.

The Experience Constitutes an Event In
the Lives of Many People.
In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered marriageable. Up to
that time it is coiled on top of the head
and adorned with fresh flowers. When
the great day for cutting comes there
is a grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was present at a royal hair
cutting, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
tells US that the darling of the harem
wa robed in long, flowing garments of
silk and lace, confined at the waist bv
a golden girdle. Her long hair, coiled
for the last time, was fastened with
diamond pins, which cleaned and gilt
tered among fresh white flowers and
green leaves like pearly drops of morn
ing dew. There, in the presence of the
ladies, her father and an officiating
priest, surrounded by her hand maid
ems, some two hundred in number, she
knelt while prayers were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
carelessly over her head, clipped about
an eighth of an inch of hair and threw
it into a golden basin, depositing at the
same time on a great salver placed
ready to receive them presents of Jewels
and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and SO on, each guest
serving in urn until the little lady was
shorn. AL gave costly gifts intended
for her marriage dover, princes, minis
tiers of state and dignitaries of all sorts,
who waited in the outer courts, send
ing in their contributions by the attend
ants. The day ended in feasting and a
display of fireworks.

London's wild Dock Dogs.

A tribe of wild dogs exist at the Lon
don docks which have q real claim to
the title, since they belong to no one
and have passed through several gem
erations literally upon their w

they r useful in killing rats, and they
feed upon what they can find from the
refuse of the ships. One popularity Of
this breed is that they can climb with
almost catlike ~dexterity. The wild
dogs of the docks are by no mean saw
age; indeed, they are timid, and seldom
show themselves.

Inc manufacture of distilled spirits.
locally known as hoochinoo, has been
carried on by the natives of Alaska for
9 long period, and at times during the
early days Of the Cassiar excitements it,
y freely purchased by the white mi
fers as theo only liquor obtainable, ow-
ing to the strict enforcement of the pro-
hlbltory clause against the Importation
OF liquors in the territory. Hoochinoo,
says the Alaska Mining Record, is moth
ing more or less than raw alcohol, being
distilled mainly from brown sugar or
molasses and corn meal. Undiluted
the stuff has a d~ouble-proof strength,
makes Sdrunk Gomez freely, and but a
few swallows of it will set a man howl
ing in demoniac glee, and nothing but
an Indian, with his copper-lined stom-
ach, can stand a protracted spree on it.
The Rake Indians probably lead all
others in the manufacture of these
spirits, and as proof of their knowledge
in the art of making a double-proof ar
ticle, we give the particulars of the
awful fate OF an expert Kake distiller,
which happened recently on that is
land.
1t seems that this Indian, while en-
gagged in the manipulation Of his little
coal-oil can still, imbibed too freely of
it's tricklings, and in a drunken stupor
lay down by his fire Of cedar logs and
fell asleep with his face uncomfortable
close to the fire and his breath tanning
the flames. Through some reason known
only to the medical fraternity gas ac-
cumulated in the stomach, and the
breath of the sleeper reaching the
flames this alcoholic gas ignited. The
sleeper suddenly leaped to his feet
with a terrifying scream, and fell back
again writing in agony. The man
was burning internally. Smoke and
even flames were issuing from his
mouth, and his agony was something
awful. His loud screeches brought the
members OF the camp about him, who
looked on in silent, terror-stricken
awe, unable to do anything for his re-
lief. The combustion continued until
the Indian was literally consumed in
side and for sometime after the spirit
OF life had fled.

Handling of Dirty Money Not at All
Dangerous. !

L.Ie Tt8nOl1nR OF DlrCy money Not at All
Dangerous.
There is no place in the world where.
more dirty money is handled from dav
to day than in the national bank re-
demption division of the treasury de-
partment. There are in existence some
thirty-fve hundred national banks, each
of which has outstanding bank notes
ranging in amount from two or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half a
million. Every dollar Of these notes
passes tpugh the hands of the men
and wonAAh employed in the national
bank ~reesSyAption division. This office
has bee1 III existence now for about
thirty ears. There are employed in
the division somewhere about twenty-
five girls and women. They handle
''untold millions of bills in the course
of a year, and if there was any danger
from contagious and infectious diseases
in old banl1notes it would seem as
though this would be the place to find
symptoms.
Yet Mr.. Rogers, who has been chief
of the division for ten years, and who
has been connected with it since it was
organized, assured a Washington Post
Express correspondent the other day
that there has never been a case of in
fictitious or contagious disease con
tracted by one of the employees of his
office. Every one of them handles the
bills sent in for redemption. They are
counted and sorted time after time.

Project.

Special TO the Register.
Columbus, O., July 29.-Theodore
Wright, president of the Winifred Coal
Company, of Philadelphia, has written
a letter to the State Board of Public
Works of Ohio asking what the canal
running from the Ohio river, at Ports
mouth, to the lake at Cleveland, could
be bought for. He states that if his
company could buy they would enlarge
it to sufficient depth and width to per-
nit large coal barges to pass through
it. In his letter Mr.. Wright gives the
size of his proposed barges as 100 feet
long, % feet wide and of feet draught.
The Winifred Company has large
coal fields in West Virginia which it
desires to develop. In order to do so
it wants waterway from the mines to
the Chicago market.
The State board has no power to sell
the property. or to even suggest price
for which the legislature would author
ize the sale of the canal. As matter
0f fact. the whole canal property of the
State has been operated for several
years at a considerable loss.

Swedish Scientific Society to his balloon
project for reaching the north pole, and
has received a liberal donation to help
defray expenses from King Oscar OF

Pittsburg. Pa. July pa most i'm
portant conference of the leading Off
cials of the United Mine Workers began
at noon to-day for the purpose Of con-
sidering the proposed strike for an adj
vance. There were present National
Chairman Penna, National Vice Chair
man Miller, Secretary-Treasurer Nc
Bryde, State President Ratchford, of
Ohio; State President O'Conner of Illi-
nois. and the officers of the local dis
trict.
The miners are prepared to settle the
question of wages amicably, and say if
a strike is declared it will effect the
four great mining States of Pennsyl-
yania. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. The
leaders here hope for a settlement, and
believe a knowledge of the conditions
in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, which
they will make known to the operators,
will have an effect upon their de-
cision. For this purpose the national
officers will remain here until after
August /. in case the matter is not ad-
justed before. The officials
ARE NOT READY
20 announce the results on the confer
ence. They expect the operators win
hold a meeting and refuse the demand
fer an advance. On the other hand,
Secretary Asllins, of the operators as
sociatior. said to-day that he did not
believe the operators would hold any
meeting, but would simply ignore the
demand.
President Ratchford, of the Ohio min
ers. said tonight that it now looked
very much as if strike would be de-
clared in the Fittsburg district after
the meeting next Thursday. He said
that if that action was taken, he woult
at once call a convention CT the Ohio
miners or else order a strike by circu-
lar.
Operators here say that if there
should be q general STRIKE in Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, West
Virginia would be able to keep the
country supplied. and there would be
no hope ct the miners winning unless
every man could be brought out in the
Pittshurg district. In all former strikes
the miners have been unable to bring
ont the men 1T the mines eff the New
York and Cleveland. ana the Pit.a0urs
and Chicago companies.
