Artificial eyelashes appear to be the
latest French novelty. False hair is
an ancient institution, and we, have
long been accustomed to false teeth
and even eyebrows. Henceforth, ac-
cording to the Medicine Franchise,
there is no reason why an otherwise
beautiful face should be disfgured by
red eyelids or ragged eyelashes. The
process may appear little painful, n
needle threaded with hair being pass ed
through the lid and the threads cut in
the middle with fine pair of scissors,
each end becoming an eyelash. But
what will not beauty endure if thereby
it may become more beautiful?

1iyation took place, the traffic in human
ishair would simply become an impossi-
Ebility. as the deficiency in hair would
l:beapparent to every passer-by. Thanks
Talso to the prevalence of the cnp, the
a|EAuYergne and some districts of Nor
Emandy likewise furnish o consider
liable supply of human hair.
peasant women seem to have
Ereasoned the matter out something in
this way: GAS our large heads of hair
lIare not seen, and as they have GER
istain commercial value, why'should We
EoYer-weight our bruins with them, es-
llpecially when honest merchants come
l3along to buy our hair on such advan-
l,tageous terms?" And, goodness knows,
licash lis scarce enough among .ho
Breton peasants.
Itis no wonder, then, that the trav-
fseling hair-shearers and merchants put
isup at st. Fiacre, attracted as they are
Eby the certainty of being able to shear
lIpractically the whole population OF
women and reap very fine harvest of
human hair.

Esons, or polite; aud their language, as

Them al, "a comparatively intelligent
man, without whoss nssistance it
would have been impossible for me to
fobtain the snapshots reproduced in

these lines I have open before me my
notebook with this entry, iii the hand
of my friend, the chief hair-shearer:
NJ. Gerard, Commercant,
A Ia Chupelle Gacellne, par Carentoir
(Morblhan).
Without any appearance of conceit
he seid to me: IT am kind of celeb
rity in my own line. How many heads
of hair have I shorn? Perhaps hun
dred thousand or more!"
Monsieur was accompanied by his
wife; and in truth Madame Gerard was
extremely useful to him in his extraor-
dinary business. By the way, I no.
ticed that all the shearers likewise
had their wives with them. 1t became
evident to me later that they mis-
trusted themselves, feeling certain
that alone they would not be clever
enough to deceive the country lasses
to the shameful extent usually prac-
tised.

tHlrAPH TO A BUSY WOMAN.

Here lies q poor woman who always was
busy:
She lived under pressure that rendered her
dizzy.
She served on school board with courage
and zeal;
She golied and she kodaked and rode on
wheel.
She belonged to ten clubs and read Brown
ing by sight,
Shone Mt luncheons and teas, and would
vote II she might.
She read Tolstoi and Ibsen, knew microbes
Approved Of Delsarte, was daughter"
and "dame."
Her children went in for the top education,
Her husband went seaward for nervous
prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an hour
free;
The shock was too great, and she died In

Tall, and, up to his last sickness,
erect and robust, his fine physique,
dignihed bearing, polished manners,
and fluent conversational powers
marked him. even to the stranger, as
a man OF unusual intellectual attain
ments. By some he was considered
naughty; but the warmth of his
friendship dispelled such a suspicion,
The poor he befriended the weak
he favored; and childish innocence
was a load-stoue to his affections,
Many is the child, some of them
fatherless or friendless, that has by
little presents and otherwise reaped
happiness ut his hands. We who
know him best, know of many
strange charities from him that his
left hand knew not Of. He was Il
believer in and a follower OF the
golden rule.
Perhaps in all North Arkansas no
man was more generally known.
He was temperate man, What
ever his faults, if any, he spurned the
doing Of a dishonorable deed.
The impress OF his toll is upon this
section and, INCREASED by time, will
go withit to its impending fame as
"A mineral region, A pity it is that
he could not survive to realize hopes
which his pen made possible. Wheth-
err the fact be duly understood or not,
every property owner OF this entire
section owes his good name debt
of gratitude for the good that has
come out Of his distinguished career
Perhaps we feel more keenIy the
irrcparable loss than those who
we've less intimately associated with
him, aud yet it will be with feeling
ofIrespeetful sadness that the good
people Of this section will utter the
