An nIoesrlo HAIR Cut.

Paris has now hairdresser's estab-
lishment in which pair of scissors 10
never used. The cutting-if SO 1t may
be called-is done with a comb which
has q wire stretched along the upper
portion Of the teeth. This wire Is con-
nected electrically with storage bat
terry. When the battery is turned on
the wire becomes red hot. Therefore,
on the comb being passed through the
hair the latter Is burned of by the red
hot wire. OF course the wire can be
regulated to stand at any distance
above the comb, so that the hair can
be cut. or rather burned Off, at any
length. Other operations, such as re-
moving facial imperfections and curl
ing and drying the hair, are also per-
formed by means of electricity.

character, but not one of these bills has
ever been favorably reported, because
the representatives believe that the
law Is popular, and they dare not place
their votes on record adverse to the law.
You know that every ten years the
congress provides for taking the CEN
sus of this republic. That is, not mere
ly the enumeration of our population,
but the collation. of statistics covering
all branches of business. To accom-
plish this work in the course of two
years upwards of 5000 people are ap-
pointed to clerical positions in Wash
ington, and something like $4,000 emu
merators throughout the country. All
of this work is done by bureau called
the census office; and it is done under
the supervision of supreme official
called the director of the census.
Ten years ago the writer witnessed a
prolonged struggle in congress over the
formulation of census law. The civil
service reformers in congress are very
few now, as they were then. They en-
deavored to provide that all appoint
ments to the census office should be
made through the civil service commits
sion' and under the rules and regula-
tlons adopted under the civil service
law Ihe spoilsmen In congress largely
outnumpered the reformers then' ana
they outnumber the retormers now.

crease Scope Of Work.
CeaAtry 20 BE Divided Up Into Ds-
Dartnents which VIII COrre-
spena Geographically 60 the
nailitary Departments.

The Herald. says that plans are afoot
TO reorgnnize the National Red Cross
Society with view to greatly increas-
Ing It's scope.
The proposed plan does not contem-
plate extending the work of reorganiza-
tion at present to Cuba, Hawaii or the
Philippine islnnds.e
In the United States the country will
be divided into departments which geo.
graphically will correspond to the mill
itary departments as they now exist.
Each department will be administered
by chief, who will have control of
the territory under his charge, and who
will In turn be responsible to the ex-
ccutive committee of the board of di-
rectors. It will be the duty of each
chief to 30 organize his department that
local Red Cross societies will be es-
tablished In the cities and towns with
In his Jurisdiction. These societies will
be responsible TO him.
There are now in the United States
eight military departments. The new
plan contemplates that the chief of
each of the society's departments and
one other person from the same depart
mcnt shall be members of the national
executive committee. This would give
10 members of the committee, or, IL 1t
should be decided to increase the num-
ber of departments, the number of del
.egates would be correspondingly in
creased.
The plan does not contemplate that
any person connected with the society
shall receive pay for his services, except
the chief of staff ut Washington, and
the clerical and similar labor which
II will be absolutely necessary to en-

How the Politicians at WashingtOn
Have Managed to Gdve the Civil
Service Law and Commis-
sion n Black Eye.
Especial Washington Letter.l

ITHE civilservice law has been hav-
ing a hard tussle with the pol
II iticians. The law remains un-
dimmed and untarnishcd, but the pol
iticians have nevertheless come out
ahead in the wrangle.
To tell the truth, the civil service law
never was popular with the politicians,
and If the senators and representatives
had voted according to their convictions
the original bill would not have become
n law. Scores of the alleged statesmen
voted for the Pcndleton bill, in Janu-
ary, 1888, who disliked to do so, but pub
lie opinion was in favor of the scheme,
and the congress enacted it into a law.
People who believe or imagine that
the law has always been honestly ad-
ministered are mistaken. 1t has been
violated in both democratic and repub-
lican administrations, and it is not now
administered with absolute eXactness.
There are various ways of violating the
law, and all sorts of schemes have been
devised to make it imperative.
For example, it is possible to secure
the temporary employment of ian ex-
pert" in various branches of the public
service, with the consent of the civil
service commission; and such an ap-
pointment is good for three months.
This Is admitted to be a palpable
stretching of the law, but it is done.
After man has been in the service for
three months as ian expert" he may re-
ceive permanent appointment without
going through the regular civil service
channels by competitive examination.
In every congress during the past ten
years some sort of effort has been made
to get around the law without repeating
1t. Out, of the brains of various states
men have emanated bills of devious

We mean by bargains better goods
at the same price or the same goods at
less price Don't confound bargains
with poor goods-poor in quality, poor
in value. They are misnomer, and
the dearest goods one can buy. It's
