QUEER BELIEFS ABOUT THE FERN

The fern was supposed to seed only on
st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
it had become almost sacred. The gath
ering of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Povet,
in his ''Pandemonium," published in
1854. SAYS: Much discourse hath been
about gathering of fern seed (Which is
looked upon as a magical herb on the
night of midsummers eve, and 1 re-
member 1 was told of one who went to
gather it. and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts of his body. In
fine, though he apprehended he had got
ten quantity of it and secured it in
papers and box beside, when he got
home he found all empty. But most prob
able this appointing of time and hours
is of the devils's own institution. as well

THE HAIR CROP.
A Rare Shade of Light Hair Sells
For One Dollar an Ounce.

For one DOll1r an ounce.
Though women do not at present up
holster their heads with locks that OBJ
viously grow somewhere else. hair is
still an important feature of commerce.
In fact one of the great New York i'm
porters says that the trade is as large
now as ever it was.
Il suppose it is due to the growth of
the country" said he, land the extern
sion of fashionable luxuries into the
byways and hedges, but on the whole
our business is as valuable now as
when the women wore chignOnS. The
theatrical world is bigger than it used
to be, and after all they are the great
hair buyers.
New York imports four or five tons
of hair annually, and London twice
that amount English women have
never depended upon their own hair
for adornments as Americans do. They
have finer suits generally, but like to
see the head overloaded with puffs,
braids, buns, etc.
1.-The big HAIR crop comes from Ger
many and France. 1t is handled by
the agents of a Dutch company who
visit America annually for orders
BLACK hair is fashionable just now,
but there are certain golden tints that
always bring the higher price; for eX-
that fetch as much as 81 an ounce The
peasant woman Of Brittany and South
ern France supply most of the dark
hair in the market, and from one to
five francs is paid per head. The aver
age weight of a single growth is one
pound and agents refuse as a rule to
handle less than that amount unless
the hair is naturally curly or of a rare
color. The peasants are Obliged TO

hair-growing is a business with them
they learn that it pays to keep it clean.
The dealers are careful to attend all
the fairs and merry markings in the fall
of the year, in following up the trade

The women wear close caps, shorn or
unshorn, so there is not much lost or
gained in their personal appearance.
The most beautiful hair. the long.
silky, curly tints of a rare color, go
generally into theatrical wigs. Miss
Rehan, by the way, is said to possess
the finest collection of wigs in this
country.
Curly hair has high value of its
own as no way has been found to treat
1t SO that it will stay curled. A fortune
waits the man who can do it. And
yet it is only twenty years or more
since dealings in naturally curly hair
developed as special feature of the
trade. This evolution had the curious
erect of bringing continental Jews into
the hair-growing business. They are
the only people who can be looked To
with any confidence to supply the mar.

THE ADVANCED WOMAN.

She may stand upon the corner in her
boomers if she chooses;
She can smoke cigarette in public,
She may think up shocking thoughts
and dedicate them to the muses.
In fact do anything that's truly new.
But do not yet repine,
oh, creatures masculine,
Nor think creations altered in its plan,
For she always wants to do
Things she's not expected to.
And she doesn't care to do them when
she can.
A foremost place in politics-she'H have
it if she pleases;
She'll worry over bargains in appropri-
alton bills
And decorate the gavel which untutored
man now seizes
With gilt and pretty ribbons till with
joy the eye it fills:
She may do it all in style
For a very little while,
But the ultimate result we calmly scan,
For she always wants to do
Things she's not expected to,
And she doesn't care to do them when
she can.

George A Crofutt, of Granger, is still
working on his scheme to reclaim a tract
of many thousands of acres of land in
this and Uintah counties. and is now
in Chicago to interest capital in the great
undertaking. A corps of engineers and
surveyors have just completed survey
Of the land and prepared the profiles.
The plan now considered contemplates
taking water from Green river a few
miles above the mouth of Fontanelle
creek and fiuming the water across that
and State creek and bringing the same
down to Granger. The ditch will be 80
feet wide at the bottom and about so
feet wide at the top. 1t will water at
least 100000 acres of land. most of which
lies in Sweetwater county

AS TO EXPENSE.

But, it is urged that the law has
been expensive. What made it so?
[ contend that it was the men who
have composed the board and who
manifestly sought to nullify its pro
visions. Take the case of Gilbert and
others. An effort was made to remove
these men without cause. in order
that applicants, who had performed po-
Htical service in the preceding cam
paign, might be rewarded Then, in
contradiction of the law, Gilbert and
others were compelled to submit to a
physical examination Charges werS
laid against them that they did not
come UP to the standard of the new
rules Gilbert had been on the force
for seventeen years and was an eff
Gent man. He and those with him
protested that the men on the force,
when the law went into effect, were
exempt from physical examination.
But, without any proof being intro
duced against the men, the board in
executive session found the charges
sustained and discharged the men,
Judge Merritt decided that the board
had acted without Jurisdiction and or
dered the men restored The board
look an appeal. The case was delayed
for months. The places of the men
were filled. The board, that owed its
existence to the law, raised the noint
that the law was unconstitutional
The supreme court finally held
to the contrary and said: "At the hear
ing the board introduced no evidence
to sustain the charges; and the record
shows that, according to the evidence
OF the relator, he was in every way an
efficient officer" and it is held that
the action of the board was void. In
justice to Chief Devine, it should be

THE VIEWS OF
JUDGE POWERS
Continued from Page ~

strive to evade it's plain provisions
The purpose of the law was to protect
the men as well as the chiefs, and to
give them to understand, that so long
as they behaved themselves, that they
were safe in their positions with
chance for promotion. The cry that
has gore up that the board does not
have sufficient power to remove, and
that you can as easily convict man
of murder, is not founded in fact. The
board has full power whenever three
of them decide there is cause, and
when the board so decides, upon any
proof at all. no court can review its
action; and the chiefs in that regard
have as much power as any officer
Speaking of that portion of the law,
that provides that no man can be re-
moved except for cause, the supreme
court of Utah in the Gilbert case, 40
Pac. Rep. 269, said: These sections
provide that no officer or member,
either of the fire or police department.
shall be dismissed or removed, except
for cause, nor unless charges have
been previously preferred against such
officer of member in writing, and the
accused given an opportunity to be
heard. This is a salutary law founded

japanese Missions.

The committee sent by the Amer
lean Board OF Foreign Missions to
investigate the condition of their
work in Japan has completed its
labors, and advises that the board
shall continue the work in that
country, but not to send new
laborers there except under extra
ordinary circumstances. This would
look towards withdrawal OF the
missionaries after term OF years
The control OF the missions in Japan
is largely in the hands OF the native
Christians, who by law hold the pro-
perty in their own names, and are
said to object in measure to being
taught in all matters by foreign
teachers. The committee states
that all the native pastors and
teachers who have depated from the
orthodox falkland it says there
are not many,-have been partly
educated in Europe and America.
This is hardly high estimate Of
the influences exerted by these
countries upon those who come to
their shores for light. But how can
it be otherwise when skepticism and
infdelity characterize so much of
the popular theology'-SignS Of the

Heavy steamshio Repairs.

The steamer Umatilla, which ran
on the rocks few days ago, but
which was subsequently recovered,
has been discharged and taken to
dock for repairs, which, it is said,
will cost $4,000. That of itself is
nearly the price for new freight
steamer in these. days. 1t is said
that the cost of the British iron
steamer Woolwich, now at Tacoma
was only $4,000, or S135,000 in Am
erican money. She carries 20 men,
and will take 100000 feet lumber
from the Sound to South Africa.
The first cost of these iron steam
ships for freight purposes has been
figured down so low, together with
the economical cost Of running them
in connection with the saving OF
time, both in loading and on the
voyage, make it possible for the
owners to compete with sailing
vessels on many routes and in vari-
GUS lines of trade. 1t is evident that
sailing vessels have got to give way
to steamers in a large degree. IS. r.
