and nobody be the wiser; now the city
styles have penetrated into the coun-
try; the girls of the rural village
wear stylish hats instead Of peasant
bonnets; railroad communication Is
abolishing the peasantry, and so year
by year the hair peddlers' clientele Is
diminishing in numbers.
The hair must be manufactured
ere it can be sold to the wearer; that
is, 1t must be made into switches and
bangs, toupees and wigs, and here the
skill of the artist comes into play, as
art must simulate nature, must, in
deed, surpass nature, for the man who
would appear on the street in stage
wig would become an object OF in
terest and attention, even from the
gamins and bootblacks. The wig must
defy detection, the toupee must match,
the switch or bang must be of the ex-
act shade, otherwise the wearer will
become a by-word among her ac-
uuaintance, for the next worst tnlng
to being bald is to have people find
out that your hair belongs to you only
in the sense of having been bought
and paid for with your own money.

Secrets Of the South Pole.

Increasing interest is shown in Ger
many and England in proposed expe-
ditions to the south polar regions.
Recent news from the German explor-
ing ship Valdiyia shows that the
Southern ocean is now open to an
unusual degree, and that its depth is
greater than has generally been sup
posed. One of the unsolved questions
in geography is the origin Of the cold
ocean currents which take their rise
in the far South. 1t is said that be-
cause of the tendency of the currents
away from the south pole, tremendous
squeezings in the ice, such as Nam
sens ship experienced, need not be
feared. There will be three expedi-
tions-one German, one American and
one English each to follow an indie
pendent route.

Susan ID. Anthony's Arrest.

Susan B. Anthony announces that
she will attend the international coun-
Gil of women in London next June
says the Philadelphia Post. Miss An
thony is nearly so years old, and this
will be her second visit abroad HeI
first was in 1888, and it was attended
by an incident which she is very fond
of relating. At that time. as now, the
motto of the woman suffragists was
mo taxation without representation.
Miss Anthony had this printed on hel
envelopes and while in Berlin she
mailed letter in one of these in
scribed covers to a friend at home.
The declaration was regarded by the
Berlin police as being contrary to law,
and she was promptly arrested. 1t re-
quired the entire power Of the Amer
lean minister and the consul general
to secure her release. There is nc
danger of such an event marring her
forthcoming visit however, as En-
land looks upon all kinds of fads with
generous eyes. Miss Anthony lives
with her two maiden sisters, Mary
and Lucy in the old Anthony home
stead in Rochester, N. Y.

A stnd- u Mechanics.

The Deering To- Il Mower, made in
Chicago, affords an interesting study
IN advanced machines, and IS as per-
feet a machine as brain, Drawn and

throughout with Deering Roller and
Ball Bearings. The "IdeaP' has a
very wide truck and high wheels, in
surfing great stability and ample trac-
ton. It's gears are light, strong and
reliable, IN this machine the amount
OF lost motion is so slight that the in
slant one OF the mower wheels starts
1t communicates power to the crank
shaft and knife, thus making it pos
sible to start in heavy grass without
backing. The knife may be removed
in fifteen seconds, simply by raising a
latch. 1t is the only mower on the
market equipped with ball bearings OF
tho bicycle pattern.

CHOOSING A SERVANT.
Prof. Lombroso's System Might BE Used
with Good Results.


1t is doubtful if any two housewives
absolutely agree as to the rules that
govern them in choosing a servant,
says the New York Times. Generally
speaking, the only points judged are
the outward appearance and ability
to fill the varied requirements Of do
mestic call. Personal characteristics
are usually left to fate. Fate never
works slowly where a servant is con-
cerned Her disposition reveals itself
on the day of her arrival. Measures
should be taken accordingly. The trou-
BILE is that they are not. Hence the
cry of the housewife who has had a
cantankerous maid of all work for
three years and has never had the
courage to discharge her. The walls OF
the intelligence offices cannot speak,
else we might know the character of
seemingly momentous interrogations
We might actually learn that the pros
pective domestic is actually questioned
as to her disposition and other mental
paradoxes As it is, however, one IS
bound to believe that no such inquiries
are made, or, if made, no judicious and
discriminating judgment is evolved in
weighing answers.
Now, all this bother above empha-
sized might easily be avoided if house
wifes would only call the tenets OF
Professor Lombroso to their rescue.
Having received satisfactory answers
as to ability, ETC., and being pleased
with the dress and general manners OF
the candidate, let the housewife ex-
anime the head before her-of course,
in a way that can give no possible Of
tense, a way which may be determined
by circumstances. If the head extends
we'll back behind the ear, the mistress
may be sure that the domestic region"
is we'll developed. 1t must be noted,
too whether the dump of firmness"
rises above that of self-esteem. or
course, the head that would be admir-
able to have on cook would never do
for a lady's waiting maid. Also would
this system of selection be of use to
servants, for it would enable them to
rectify mistakes in their own choice
of employment. And the Italian scien-
fist could at last boast that he was Of
actual benefit to mankind.

when Victoria Went visiting.

1t is difficult to imagine Queen Vic
toria as window cleaner; but little
princesses. like other little girls, en-
joy keeping house." and the Golden
Penny vouches for this incident as
novel and true: When a little child
Princess Victoria went with her
mother to visit Queen Adelaide. The
Duchess of Kent was obliged to leave
the little one alone with the queen for
some time. and the latter, to make the
princess feel at home, said: Now,
my dear, you have an hour to spend
with me, and you shall do exactly as
you like" Exactly as l like?" said
the little princess, doubtfully. Yes"
replied the queen, little imagining what
was to follow. Then, dear Aunt Ade-
laide," said the child, may l be al
lowed to clean the windows?" Queen
Adelaide was startled. but the little
one had her way, setting to work with
sleeves carefully rolled up and an
apron tied round her waist.

Ar Tncomo From Roses.

In no country in the universe has
the rose been brought so nearly to per-
lection as in China. Extremely mag
nificent are the rose gardens of the
emperor, and the revenue yearly OBJ
tanned from the sale of oil Of roses and
rose water forms very large addition
to the imperial Golfers.
Only members of the imperial fami-
ly, nobility, military dignitaries, and
few other notabilities are allowed
to have altar of roses in their dwell
ings, and very severe punishments are
melted out to ordinary citizens in
whose possession even one drop of the
precious essence is found.
Originally only two kinds of roses
were known in the Flowery Land-the
white and the red moss roses-and the
smaller they were the more highly
were they valued. The leaves are
greatly priced as amulets.

use, and must be cleaned. On the
continent two methods are used, the
German and the French. In Germany,
the hair is washed with strong aka
line solutions, while in France the IA
vorite method of cleansing is thor
ough rubbing in mixture of -four and
cornmeal. The French method is now
preferred by most hair dealers, since
there is no risk of impairing the quail
ity of the hair with too strong solu-
ton OF soap.
After the hair has passed through
the hands Of the preparers 1t is sorted
into lengths and colors, and is then
ready for the general market. The
black hair, together with most varie-
ties of dark brown, comes from France,
Spain and Italy, the light browns, yell
lows and reds from North Germany
and the Scandinavian countries, but
there has been in recent years a nota-
BILE diminution in the supply. Former

the body of primeval man was in all
probability covered with a dense
growth of hair, but as men began to
wear clothing, Dame Nature, with her
well-known regard for economy, left
off growing hair on the unprotected
bodies of the human race, but contin-
ued a dense capillary cover on the
crown OF the head, the most exposed
portion Of the body.
Primitive man went bareheaded, but
now that civilization ordains hats and
caps, bonnets and other headgear, it
seems among the possibilities that the
hair of the head will go, too, for mere
is reason to believe that badness is
on the increase. and that the present
century, for the abundance OF shining
polls, is distinguished above all its pre-
decessors. Under present conditions,
however, men and women who lose
their hair need not give themselv s
one moments uneasiness on account
of that fact, for the dealers in hirsute
adornments are ready to supply all de-
ficiencies. and to do so with taste
and skill that rival nature and defy
detection.

THE USEFUL CAMEL.
Something About the Abstinence of Thi
Remarkable Animal.

Something About the Abstinence of This
Remarkable Animal.
There are many fables told about the
camel; riding him is supposed to make
people seasick; he has the reputation
of being very vicious; he is supposed
to have several stomacns and to go for
weeks without water as a matter of
choice. | can only say that in nearly
four years of experience | have never
met with a case of seasickness or heard
of it; neither have | known a really
vicious camel, except when they are in
a state called by the Arabs "saim, y
which means fasting" and CORE
spends to the "rutting" period in
stays. AS regards the cameps stomach,
| believe it is identically the same as
that of any other ruminant, or that, at
any rate, there is no formation OF
stomachs which would enable him to
do without water. His abstinence is
merely the result of training, and it is
a fallacy to suppose that he is better
without water or can work as we'll. In
the camel corps we watered our camels
every second day in the summer, every
third day in the winter. giving them
their fill of water morning and even
ing on those days; but If in the sum-
mer We expected a long desert march
without atar, We trained them be-
forehand by only watering every third
day, but l never found that this i'm
proved their condition. The Arabs
keep their camels longer without
water. it is true, but then they travel
slower and their animals are graZed on
soft food, containing a certain amount
of moisture; this lowers their condi-
ton and makes them inferior to a
corn-fed camel when hard work and
long. fast journeys have to be done.
We always found that If we put a
grass-fed camel alongside of ours 1t
failed in work and endurance; if corn
fed it cried out for water as soon and
sooner than ours did. say cried out
because a camel when it wants water
means continually, and there is no
more painful sound at night in the
desert than the ceaseless moaning OF
thirsty mels.-Cornhill Magazine.

The Manner in Which Bdld-fledded Men
and Women Conceal the Deficiency.


The wigmakers' trade is in reality
branch of fine art, for, while bald peo-
pie are often extremely DESTROYS OF con-
cealing the deformity, they are equally
anxious not TO advertise the fact that
the hair which adorns their craniums
is bought rather than grown by their
own exertions, so ingenuity is taxed to
conceal the fact of purchase and to
such a height of Skill has the manipu-
lator of hair attained that even sharp
tug at well made wig in stu often
fails to reveal the fact that it is not
natural growth of lAe Uranium
which it adorns.
The hair business begins in the
rural districts OF Europe. When the
