ValorOus Cows.

The editor of the Condor (Or) Globe
saw deed of COW valor that was worth
recording as well as seeing. A herd of
cattle, and among them two COWS, ac-
companied by their calves, We're graz
ing in tall dead grass when the calves
became separated little from the rest
of the herd.
Just then two huge, hungry coyotes
crept up through the grass, cut off the
calves from the rest of the cattle and
started in pursuit of them. After run
ming about 200 yards the calves came
to high, five wire, barbed wire fence,
and, being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side of the
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence and were rap
idly running them down on the other
side, when the two COW mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
a loud below, hoisted her tail and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be a hopeless chase,
for the wire fence intervened, and the
cows We're certainly much too large to
get through it. They knew well enough
that it was there, and could, besides,
see it plainly, but both COWS plunged
together straight into it.
The watching editor, Mortified, look
ed to see them hurled back, frightfully
wounded, but instead one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught, the
wires sank down, and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing, but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to flight.
Soon the cows We're licking the res
cued calves affectionately, and the coy
otes Were bowling IA disappointed duet
from the summit of knoll near by.

A HARVEST OF HUMAN HAIR.
Millions of Pounds Every Year Get Tangled
Up In Commerce..

Up In Commerce.
Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known by the aver
age person than human hair as an ar
ticle of commerce. It will doubtless
surprise many when it is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods do not
depend on chance clippings here and
there, but that there is a regular hair
harvest that can always be relied upon.
1t is estimated that over IL, 900, 600
pounds of human hair are used annu-
ally in the civilized world for adorning
the heads of women. In New York city
alone over four tons of this class of
goods are imported yearly.
"Not little of the hair used in this
country" said New York dealer to
the writer, ''comes from the heads of
American women, and it is fully as fine
jim shade and texture as the imported ar
ticle. We had a big harvest during the
craze that the fair sex had not long ago
for having their hair cut short Many
thousands of women who then had their
locks sheared have since bitterly regret
ted it, as in many instances their hair
has grown so slowly that they have
been compelled to wear wig or a
switch since the fashion changed. After
the majority of women reach the age of
30 the hair seems to partially lose its
vigor, and if cut it will not grow long
again.
"Two-thirds of the ladies nowadays
use false hair more or less. The decree
of fashion, or the desire to conceal Il de-
feet or heighten a charm, is the reason
of course. One woman, for instance,
has high forehead and wishes to re-
duce it ill appearance. Another has
Worn off the front hair by continued
frizzing and would like to conceal the
fact. Both make use of front or top
piece, with a choice of many styles.
Ladies' wigs cost from $50 to 5000;
half wigs, top pieces and switches from
$40 to $50, according to quality.
"The largest supply of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
hair market in Merlans, in the depart
ment of the lower Pyrenees, held every
Friday. Hundreds of hair traders walk
up and down the one street of the vii
lage, their shears dangling from their
belts, and inspect the braids which the
peasant girls, standing on the steps Of
the houses, let down for inspection. If
a bargain is struck, the hair is cut and
the money paid on the spot, the price
varying from 60 cents to So in our
money.
ga woman's hair may grow to the
length of 6 feet, and l know lady
who has been offered and refused $500
for her crown of glory, which is over
6 feet long. A single female hair will
bear up weight of four ounces with
out breaking, but the hair thus heavily
weighted must be dark brown, for blond
hair breaks under a strain of az ounces.
There are some 2, 600 importers, manu-
facturers and dealers in human hair in
the United States. Washington Star.

For 10Y of mine she left grief of hers
And garlanded me with crown of furze.
Rose O. the world, they go out and In,
And watch me dream and my mother spin,
And they pity the tears on my sleeping face,
While my soul away III fairy place.
Rose o the world, they have words galore
And wide's the swing of my mothers door,
And soft they speak of my darkcned eyes,
And what do they know who are all so wise?
Rose o the world, the pain you give
Is worth all days that man may live.
Worth all shy prayers the collccns say
On the night that darkens the wedding dayl
Rose o. the world, what man would wed
When he might dream of your face instead;
Might go to his grave with the blessed pain
OF hungerlng after your face again?
Rose o the world, they may talk their fill
For dreams are good, and my life stands still
While their lives red ashes the gosSips stir
But my fiddle knows and talk to her.
