TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR.


The Custom OF Renting the Heads Of
Whole Families by tho Year.
There are wholesale firms in Paris
which send around agents in the spring
to various Breton and other villages.
These gentlemen, says All the Year
Round, are provided with ribbons, silk
laces, haberdashery and cheap jewelry
Of various kinds, paying for the
maidens' tresses in these goods or in
ready money. So far as personal
beauty is concerned, these Breton laces
do not lose much in losing their hair,
for it is the fashion in that part of
France for maidens to wear close
cap, which entirely prevents any part
Of their hair being seen.
Some years ago the light German
hair was held in such esteem by the
hair merchants that they gladly paid as
much as eight shillings an ounce for
small quantities of it-nearly double
the price Of silver. Light hair is col
lected from Germany by agents Of a
Dutch company, who make yearly visits
to various parts Of the Germania states.
The black hair imported comes mostly
from Brittany and the south of France,
and is, as rule, very fine and silken.
| Within the present century the
heads of hair of whole families in
Devonshire were let out by the year.
An Exeter periwig maker went around
periodically, cut the locks, and oiled
the ground thus left in stubble &c

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.
A Chinese Papers Method of Reporting
Victory by the Japs.

siSt"ry ny INC ObpSs
After the Chinese defeat at Kaiping
December 20 the Shen-pao, an infiuen-
tial Picking journal, published the fol-
lowing:
"a Cheefoo scholar writes us that an
important battle has just occurred at
Kaiping. An overwhelming army of
japanese made cowardly attack upon
the fearless Gen. Sung Ching, thinking
to take him unawares. But that great
soldier is always vigilant and routed
his foes with great slaughter, killing
over three thousand and driving the
rest back thirty-five miles without
losing over ten men himself. Evening
coming on, and everyone being tired
from the hard labor of the day, Gen.
Sung thoughtfully ordered all his men
to lie down and rest, while he slept
likewise. He had not been in bed more
than an hour or two when he was dis
turbed by the Japanese, who, contrary
to all usages of war, again assailed his
camp. He was naturally indignant
and ordered a lieutenant to drive the
wretches away SO that he could finish
his slumbers. The officer did the best
he could, but, being wounded and his
troops being panic-striclken by the cold,
he and his men turned and retreated,
being pursued by the Japanese. This
turned the camp into great disorder
and resulted in deep unhappiness Gen.
Sung perceived this and ordered re-
treat at full speed. His forces quickly
outmarched the enemy, so that at morn
ing the whereabouts of the japanese
was unknown, from which it is inferred
that they had fled. While the tents,
guns and ammunitions were left be
hind, the banners, flags and umbrellas
were all safely brought away. Gen.
Sung, in view of the urgency of the sit
uation, has applied to Picking for fifty
thousand reenforcements.

One of the good features about an
English trial is the promptness with
which all proceedings begin. Precisely
at half past ten knock is heard at the
outer door. Instantly all hats come
off, the hum of conversation ceases and
every one rises. Then enters the Judge
in white bag wig and scarlet cloak,
plentifully trimmed with ermine. He
is closely followed by three sheriffs
who are in attendance for the day, and
the procession halts when the judge
has reached the bench. Over the head
sheriff's chair is placed large sword,
and it requires little imagination to
fancy that you are attending a state
trial in the days Of Queen Elizabeth,
rather than one in our material nine
teenth century. The judge then makes
a queer little bow, first to the jury,
then to the lawyers. The crier repeats
his usual formula. Everybody sits
down and the court is in session.

River improvements.
Lewiston Tribune.


Capt Harry Taylor of the U. S.
corps ofengineers and Capt Baugh-
man of the 0. r. & N. Co. returned
Saturday from their trip down the
Clearwater from Kamiah. 1t was
Capt. Taylor's first view of the
river and he expressed himself as
surprised and delighted at its size,
volume and possibilities. They
found no serious Instructions what
ever, the requirements being to
blow out boulders and clear out
some rapids. The war depart
ment at Washington, however,
insists on having a new survey
made before proceeding with the
work and report has already
gone in recommending the early
procedure of the survey and of the
improvement work. The engi-
neers are expected here within a
month and the boats will be built
at Lapwai to be ready for their use.
The $4,000 appropriation will do
a great deal of good for the river
but it will not complete the work
and it is estimated that total OF
100000 will be required. The
investigation of Capt. Taylor has
shown that the improvement will
be advantageous to the govern
ment and that the population and
commerce of the tributary country
are sufficient to demand the expen-
diture. The present work will be
begun this fall and completed next
summer. The boulders in the
channel will be taken down to the
present waters edge, which will
allow a steamboat to pass over
them anywhere when the water
is high enough for navigation.
Capt Baughman will enter the
service of the government on the

Snake river work. He will COM

Canine Labor In belgium.

In this country the dog is, really, in
nine cases out of ten, the master of the
man. In Belgium, however, his status
is very different. One of the first
things that impress the stranger in
Brussels is the immense number of dogs
employed in drawing barrows and small
carts about the streets. In the capital
alone over ten thousand dogs are so en-
gagged, and the number of draught-dogs
in the whole country is probably not
less than fifty thousand. Generations
of servitude have made the Belgian dog
a race apart. For his size he is said to
possess the greatest pulling power OF
any animal, four times his own weight
being considered load well within his
powers. Taking his average weight as
half hundred weight, this means that
something like five thousand tons are
daily dragged about.by canine labor in
Belgium. - -. ..,.--

fhe witty Reply of An Irish Hospital
Patient.
A doctor should be master Of push
and parry, if he would get the better Of
an Irish patient, intent upon conceal
ing more than he reveals as to the cause
of his sickness. DIR. Roose yelt, in an
article, 1.-THE Hospital" published in
Scribner's, tells how he WIS once
worsted in a professional interview at
the Roosevelt hospital with an Irish
laborer. The doctor writes
was struck by the humorous look in
his face, but even more by the unmis-
taxable evidences of hard drinking
which he presented. After asking some
other questions, suddenly said:
"You have been drinking pretty hard,
have you not?"
He looked at me with the most en-
gaging of Irish smiles, and gravely in
formed me that he had not done 80 to
any extent, adding: "Well, you know,
I'm a longshoreman, and av coorse
we've been on strike, and that names
that livery wan had several drinks .
day, 80 perhaps did take little"
After awhile / told him first to hold
out his hands, which were shaky. Then
asked him to put out his tongue.
This was very tremulous, and said,
rather sharply:
"What makes your tongue shake SO
much if you have not been drinking?'
Looking at me in the most humble
manner, he answered without hesitat-
ing:
"Well, don't know, sir, unless it's
the modesty of that organ at bein'
thrust into prominence in the sight Of
such foine gintleman." chan ged the

Certain proportions of tallow, borax

have the form of flowers, leaves, flg-

is run into these molds and the figure

ranged in the proper figure or design,
when a cementing process begins.
The cement is compound made from
leather pulp and glue, and it is run be-
tween the figures. The figures soften
little with the compound, and the
whole hardens together. In the cast
ing of each figure different colored
pulp is used-red pulp for red roses,
white pulp for white flowers, green for
leaves, and so on. Thus elaborate de-
signs may be carried out. Then comes

thirty-five hundred national banks, each
Of which has outstanding bank notes
ranging in amount from two or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half a

passes through the hands of the men
and women employed in the national

thirty years. There are employed in
the division somewhere about twenty
five girls and women. They handle

The Historian Ridpath.

John Clark Ridpath, the eminent
historian, has just BID en- nominated
for congress by the democrats OF
the Fifth Indiana district. Mr..
Ridpath, who is q noted authority
on political economy is a firm and
powerful advocate Of free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1, independ-
ent of the action of any other ma
ton. In the ia nuary, 1896,
number of the Arena he
shows that on March l, 1866, the
national debt was s2,636,OOO. 900.
BY the close of 1895 the American
people had paid upon this debt in
interest alone $685., 100000, and
upon the principal 81, 100000, 900,
making the enormous aggregate Of
"a, 1886 900, 900. TIL BY had paid
more than three-fifths of the prin-
cipal, and yet the less than two
fifths remaining of the debt was
worth more to the holders of it
than the entire debt was worth on
the 1st of March 1866. Comment
ing upon this fact, Mr.. Ridpath
says:
"For 80 years the american peo-
pie bave been pour ing into that
horrid maelstrom the volume of
their great resources. And yet it
is the truth of the liv wing God, that
in the year 1896, at it's close, the
national debt of the United States,
in its bonded and unbonded forms,
will purchase as its equivalent in
value as much of the average of
25 of the leading commodities OF
the United States, including real
estate and labor, as the same debt
would purchase at its maximum on
the first of March, 1856. The peo-
pie have paid and paid for 80 years,
and at the end have just paid this
