HUMAN HAIR HARVEST

palIy 10 supply Women with
Switches and wigs.

If the tresses you wear did not grow

ported The United States buys more
than $4,000, 900 worth Of hair each year,
much Of which is used in the manufac-
ture of wigs and switches to supple
ment the cranial hirsute adornment Of
those whose locks are scanty.
The popular idea is th2s the material
for switches is supplied by poor girls,
who. to raise a mortgage or pay the
rent or something of the sort, 90 as the
girls in story books, and so to hair
dresser and sacrifice their magnificent
'crowning glories" for their family. 1t
is true that some hair is obtained in
this way, but the supply is too incon-
slant TO be depended upon.
There is a regular hair harvest, just
as regular as the wheat crop. In fact,
il is more to be depended upon, as
drought does not affect it. Most of this
hair comes frcm Switzerland, Germany
and the French provinces. There is a
human hair market in the lower
Pyrenees held every Friday. Scores OF
hair traders walk up and down the viii
lage streets. their shears dangling from
their belts. and examine the braids
which the peasant girls let down foI
their inspection. If a bargain is struck
the hair is cut and the money paid OF
the spot.
These girls have fine hair and car

hair may grow TO the length of six feet
A single hair will bear up a weight o.
four ounces without breaking. but th'
hair thus heavily tried must be darl

The hair that is cut is the best. Deal

HELD UP A TRAIN.
There Were Some Amusing Inciden t.
I'm the Naval work at
Santiago.


The first shot fired by the Brooklyn
in the war occurred three days after
we arrived off Santiago. in the night.
1t was little after dusk. when the
Vixen, torpedo boat destroyer. which
was lying well inshore. fired the red.
green. red rocket signal, indicating a
torpedo attack. At the same time
small white light could be seen moving
down the coast TO the eastward. This
looked like business-just what every
man had been wishing for a few min
utes before on the forecastle. Ship was
cleared for action with q rush and we
stood by our guns. peeping through
open ports into the inlSy blaclsness,
growing denser every minute. patient
ly waiting for orders 10 fire at tho foe
dashed onto us.
The Iown. lying ARtern of us, opened
up on the shore with her six-pounders.
This was too much for one Of our or
dinarily cool-headed apprentice boys
and he let drive a port six-pounder
without orders. II was our first gun.
Furthermore il came near being an un-
