LONG HAIR A DISGRACE.
In COrcn II Is Indicative of Social Os-
tracism or EIentnI Humility.

The wearing OF long hair in Corca is
indicative of social disgrace or mental
humility, and marks either the penitent
or the outcast. The custom Of wearing
the hair long by these classes has
aroused the commercial spirit in certain
speculative natives, and they have set
about the labor of supplying the world
with hair shaved from the'heads tftheir
fcllow-countrymen.
When the Mongolian faker desires to
punish himself for a sin--real or fan
Gle ii makes no diffcrence-hc allows
his jr and nails to grow. In the same
cou. es the criminal is Obliged to let
his Il E grow, because the true
oriental despiscs long hair, and the
wearing of it is a certain sign of peni-
tcnce or punishment.
Now, of recent years the Coreans
ha learned to put these extraordinary
growths of hair-that is, after they are
cut off-to some commercial use. They
have established factories for the man
ufacturc of mats, horse blankets, sad
de blankets, haitcrs and even whole
sets of harness, all from human hair.
a carpet factory, in which carpet is
made from human hair, is also located
at Seoul. In this connection it may be
apropos TO mention the famous prayer
rug" OF the shah Of Persia. 1t was
made in Corca more than a century ago.
Tt is three feet square and bordered
with diamonds and pearls. and is CON
sidered OF almost fabulous value.

HER SECRET.
Actions Speak for ThemscIves-IIe
Was Willing to Read Her Mind.


For many years the young woman
had called upon Ulysses. She had
brought him numberless packages of
choice cigarettes, as well as divers
specimens of the most expensive genus
cigar, says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
She had repeatedly purchased tickets
for various celebrated prize fights and
after escorting him thither would see
to it that he had plenty of lemon cream
puifs to MUNICH upon during the inter-
walls of slugging. Many and many an
evening had she assisted him in increas-
ing the numerals upon his poor hard
working mammals coal and gas bills,
and she had seen four several sets of
new springs added to the parlor sofa.
But hitherto she had not stood up like
a-er-woman and boldly declared her
love for him and requested to be al
lowed to pay all his expenses in the fu-
ture in consideration of his donning her
last name.
But upon this special evening in
question Ulysses had her dead torights.
1t may have been the witching golf cos
tune in old gold and baby blue that he
wore or the shy grace with which he
placed his tiny palm in hers. However,
be this as it may, she could no longer
restrain herself, but impulsvely threw
her arms about his frail, shrinking fig-
urc and drew him tenderly toward her.
AS her lips rose from his she lovingly
murmured: This kiss tells YOU my
secret"
And Ulysses, as he furtivcly removed
some cut plug from his mouth, found
an opportunity to observe: "Would

KILLED BY A TRAIN.

Mangled Remains of Isaac Shears Found
on The Track Mt NIoore's Junction.
Early Saturday morning the mangl led
body Of NJ. Isaac Shears was found on
the track Of the II. &c o. c. e. railroad
near Moofes Junction. His spine and
both EGGS were broken and his head
c"usued being uumistaka bic evidence
that he bad been struck by n train,
probably the early train out that morn
ing. The unfortunate man had been
in Mar eta on F.:dav and wnen ne
lett at 1885 p. m. was considerab b v
intoxicated He left the train at
Moore's Junction to go to his home
near by and it is presumed fell asleep
on the track.
The remains We're prepared for
burial by Unde taker Flu er aud the
funeral occurred Sunday at Gravel
Bank.
MIR. Scnears was about So years OF
age, unmarried and lived with his w,d-
owed mother aud sister. In his dr. nK-
ing habit he was his own worst enemy
and to that hateful agent solely his
death may be ascribed.

The B. & o. officials are very much
pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared, of the
performance of freight trains on the
Second division, which handles all the
east and west bound traffic between
Baltimore and Cumberland. Before
the new freight engines were pur-
chased and the improvements made in
the track, in the way of Strengthening
curves and reducing grades, the aver
age number of cars to the train was
2SH. Now with more powerful and
modern motive power and a better track
the average is 40 cars per train, an in
crease of IL per cent. The average
east bound movement per day for the
first ten days of August was 1928 load
ed cars On the Third division, Cum
land to Grafton, where there are
grades of 125 feet to the mile, the en-
gines used to haul 1872 loads TO the
train. Now the average is 2o25 loads
per train, an increase of 81 per cent.
1t would certainly appear that the
money spent in Improvements on the
b. & o. is being amply justified and
that the cost of operation is being very
materially reduced.

It was very apparent that there are a num- Der of very bright mindsin this elass, both boys and girls. who give every promise of making valuable men and women.
 A visit was then paid to Prof. "itherspoon'sroom who teaches the sciences. This room is well equipped with chemicals. geological specimens and scientific apparratHs. .ett. for tie practical demonstrati4n ofihe sub iscts taught.
 Ne then repaired to the Sixth Avenue school, accompanied by sa. perintendent Hinemon, but it WIS near noon and our time was short The primary departments were only partially visited and inspected. but enough was witnessed to wa rant the statement that the methods em- ployed are modern and practical and altogeter superior to any we had ever before witnessed. The rooms visited here were those pre- sided over by Misses Aiken, Smith aud Bloom. While listening to an interesting recitation in the latter room tlle gong sounded for the noon hour and we repaired to the hall to witness the procession of students. As at the high school this was con- dncted with perfect order and decorum, showing the most careful drilling and training.
 On the whole, our visit to the schools was most interesting and profitable, and we thank Capt. Roberts for his invitation and Supt. Hinemon for his attentions and kindness during our visit. We have recorded this account of the same because ali parents and the general public are interested in their public schools and the cause of education. After an aninyestigation of the methods of education employed in our local schools, wehaveno hesitaney in say ing that Pine BInff,s public schools are second to none in the South, ana that they should be source of pride te all Pine BMaians II there are any who donbt this statement. n few hours sptntat any of the schools will convince them of the truti fHi- ness and correctness of the same.

 We have talked with many pant. CTS and with those furnishing sup plies to make the crop, about the acreage, and We donot believe there will be any increase i1 Arkansas; every available spot suitable for cotton was planted last year and we do not see how there can be any increase The plantations are poor Y supplied with corn and they are bound to plant more of it this year than last. IL would se better to figure on iii increase in moisture for July and August over last year than acreage: let us get this and the quantity and quality viii be ample for all purposes. Tue demand for improved seed is large, and if the seasons are all favorable, the staple will be greatly improved. Yours respectfully
