Natural laws pertain to all things,

brute society. But that the actions Of
the lower animals are ever prompted
by sense of duty is not only extreme

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

Millions OF Pounds Every Year Get Tangied
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. 1t 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 $4,000, 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
in shade and texture as the imported ar
ticle We had 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
has grown so slowly that they have
been compelled to wear a 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 de-
feet or heighten a charm, is the reason
of course One woman, for instance,
has high forehead and wishes to re-
duce it in 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 choice of many styles.
Ladies wigs cost from $50 to $500;
half wigs, top pieces and switches from
SO to $50, according to quality.
The largest supply Of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
French provinces. There is human
hair market i'll Merlans, i'll the depart
ment of the lower Pyrenees, held every

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

varying from 60 cents to So in our
money.

recording as well as seeing i herd of
cattle, and among them two cows, ac-
companied by their calves, We're graz

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 i'll pursuit of them. After run
ming about 200 yards the calves came
TO Il 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 OH the other
side, when the two COW mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
loud below, hoisted her tail and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be a hopeless chase,
for the wire fence INTERVIEWED, and the
cows We're certainly much too large to
get through il. They knew well enough
that it was there, and could, besides,
see it plainly, but both cows plunged
together straight into it.
