HARvEsTs OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Gathered From the Locks of Euro
pean Peasants.

Women with scanty locks ought to like
to know that there are hair harvests, lust
as there are wheat harvestsI The idea
does not sound very nice. but that it is
useful we must all agree. The hair har-
vest is much surer crop than the grain
one. 1t does not depend on the weather.
To leave that side of the subject, most of
the hair women wear comes from Switzer.
land, Germany and France. There is hu.
man hair market in the lower Pyrenees
held every Friday. Scores of hair buyers
walk up and down the village streets,
their shears dangling from the belts, and
examine the tresses which the peasant
girls let down for their inspection, If a
bargain is struck the hair is cut and the
money paid on the spot. These girls have
fnc hair. Strangely enough, peasants Of
ten have much better locks than highly
educated women. Civilization does not
seem to care for heavy hair.
That which is cut off by the dealer
himself is the best. Dealers can easily tell
whether the locks offered them have been
cut or combed out. They do this by
rubbing the hair through their fingers. If
the hair has been cut from the head ami
has not been misplaced it remains in the
original position. If it has been pulled
or combed out and put together, regard
less of the direction in which it grew, one
portion will slip to the right and another
to the left. 1t does this because the jag
ged edges catch upon each other and pull
in opposite directions.

ing the name by which okra is often

Reports About the Cubans-Insur-
gent Storing Arms.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
The American and Spanish commits
sions, in agreeing upon January as the
date of Spanish evacuation OF Cuba, took
as t. precedent the treaty Of peace en-.
tered into so years ago between Mexico
and the United States when an agree
ment was made for the occupation to
cease. Then. as now, it was known that
all the troops could not be embarked by
the date agreed upon.
Theoretically the Spanish occupation
will cease by Jan. l., though it is believed
that $4,000 Spanish troops will still re.
main in Cuba. These men will continue
to occupy their barracks until they leave
for the peninsula.
1t was agreed that all arms save those
in position shall be returned to Spain.
There is yet to be settled the right Of
Spain to sell the bronze cannon and to
have pay for the public buildings within
the islands.
General Greene expects the first troops
to reach Havana about November Is.
Colonel Hecker, who has hitherto counsel
ed delay, now thinks the time has arriv-
ed for vigorous action. The weather be-
ing settled. he would bring the troops
here at once.
Stories are current here in Spanish cir
cles that the Cubans at Marianao, in
Pinar del Rio. and at other camps are
buying arms and ammunition for the
purpose of preparing for possible difference
es with the Americans 1t is stated that
these arms are being stored in secret
hiding places until definite policy is
made public by the American govern
raent. The Cubans strongly deny the
truth of these rumors and Of course they
can not be confirmed.

IDAHO.

The railroad surveyors who have been
running lines up the Clearwater have
been recalled, having reached a point
near Kamiah.
Considerable interest is being centercd
in the development Of the country in and
about the mouth Of the Orc Elmo on the
Clearwater, where G. G. Fuller and orners
are building town and teamway from
the prairie to the river.
Work is progressing on the Salem canal
and it is expected that water will be
turned in next spring This canal will
water large scope of good land as far
south as Salem and will greatly enhance
the value of the land.
The Moscow public schools are steadily
increasing in the number of pupils, and
there are now a larger number enrolled
than at any former period. The enroll
ment has reached $50, and it has been
found necessary to open tive new rooms
in the top story Of the high school build
ing. This arrangement gives better ac-
commodations and makes the other rooms
less crowded.
There have been so many holdups and
robberies in the vicinity Of Lewiston re-
Gently that the business men talk of or
ganizing for mutual protection, and a Wig
lance committee may be formed. The
town and surrounding country is infested
with all kinds of criminals. who seem &C.
cure from apprehension. On the reserva-
ton the reign OF terror is at its height.
with no prospect of immediate relief.
IT is claimed that the report from Lew :
iston, which stated that j. M. Edwards
Of that city had recently discovered that
he was one of the heirs of a large tract of
land in the heart Of New York city, is
the revival of an exploded claim which
has been in circulation for the past 20
years. That the Edwards family did own
the tract in question is admitted. but it is
stated that it long ago passed from their
possession and that there is now abso-
lutely no chance Of their ever securing it
again.
Two more crews of Northern Pacific
surveyors left Tacoma last week to work
on new work in Idaho near Lewiston
and Washington. 1t is not known exact
ly what work the men are supposed to do,
and their mission is being kept as quiet
as possible. Each crew comprises eight
men and some of them expect to be gone
several weeks. just what line Of the sys-
tenn the men are to work on is not known
publicly, but it is thought they are to en-
ter in the big race that is reported to be
on in the Nez Perce country between the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation and the
Northern Pacific in endeavoring to he
first to tap rich and untouched fields.

portions of busy town. The finishing

new buildings have been completed this

From Buffalo Hump.
j. R. Wolfe, who has been the resident
assayer in Florence and the Buffalo Hump
camps for some time, came out to Lewis
ton last week. He says the Hump dis
trict is destined to be the greatest quartz
camp in the United States. He says there
are millions of tons Of ore in that camp
from which he has made assays, and that
he believes the average of all the ore will
not run under $50 per ton in gold.

Four Feet of Carbonates.
A letter from one of the officers of the
Klondike Mining Company states that
there is now four feet of carbonate ore in

as to the value of the ore, but one of the

they are getting some nice specimens of
wire silver from it. The companys prop

Whether this renewed confidence is based
upon an abstract of the Spanish reply,
which was submitted at Wednesdays

vices indicating weakening of the Span

able both of these had influence in bright
ening the prospects.
