Slight Fire on Sixth Street.

a lamp was exploded last night at
10 o'clock in the house occupied by
David Williams and family, on Sixth

was turned in from Box Ia, corner OF
West LaCkawanna avenue and Sew

The table cloth and wallpaper be-

Wounded In Battle.

An army loses far more of its strength
through its wounded than through its
killed, In the first place there are four
or five wounded to one killed, and In
the second place the dead men give no
trouble, while the wounded require an
immense number of noncombatants to
attend to them. A great many Of the
wounded return again to duty, their
wounds being comparatively slight,
but as rule more than half of them
take no more part in the war.-London

FIRST WIG IN HISTORY.
n Was Worn by the Daughter of
saul, King of Israel.

The first wig mentioned In history
was made of goats skin and worn by
the daughter of Saul klng of Israel
The fret artistic wigs were made In
the south of Italy for the Gaplnlens
who lived In Apula and were known
for the luxurlcs of their toilet. These
people were, they say, the first whc
painted their faces. This they did with
the Juice OF strawberries.
The pcrsians wore wigs. Ncnophon
relates that little Cyrus, when he visit
cd Astyagcs. his grandfather, whose
eyes were framed In blue paint and
who wore an enormous wig, threw
himself on his knees and cried, ooh,
mother, what beautiful grandfather
| havcw Aglais, maid of honor, was
so struck by the appearance of the old
gentleman that she remained with AS
tyagcs as n slave.
The PhTnlcian women, who were
proud OF their hair, having been or.
dcrcd by their priests to offer 1t up on
the affairs dedicated to Venus after the
death of Adonis, obcycd. but with muir
murlng. Soon after they were consolcd
by Greek merchant, who told them
that he would give them the means Of
hiding their bald pntes under luxurious
curls. In his chariot he had hundreds
of wigs of all coors
Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward
the end OF the republic and so we'll
made that, says Ovid, "no man could
know If his wife had any hair ut all be
fore she had given him an opportunity
of sczing her by the trcsscs."
Tcutonic peasants were the provid-
crs of blond hair for rich Roman prin-
ccsscs, who loved the contrast OF its
naxcn hue with their black eyes. They
even had morning wigs, small and
tightly curlcd, of any color, and they
kept the beautiful fair ones to receive
their admirers at night. Messalina had
100 wigs TO disguise herself.-Cincin.

THE SAMPLE FIEND.
II Takes Lots of Material to Supply
the Snmpler's Demands

Coming suddenly upon salesman in
n retail store who had number Of
yard long lengths of new piques llber-
ally sprlnkled with those little price
tags 0he pins all stuck through the
several thlcknesscs and bent down,
one understood all Mt once the full i'm
port Of the demands Of the sample
tiend. Marked Off evenly like n check
crboard, with II price tags lengthw!se
and seven to the width, which made
l19 10 the yard, the salesman was GO
ing over the lot with a pencil. setting
down the width and price on each.
At one store the one who Is at the
head OF each stock attends to the pre-
pairing of the samples of his particular
stock. Thus the piquc samples would
be cut by one, samples of swiss by an
other, of organdie by another, and so
on. In the silk department one man,
who is kept for the purpose, does 1t all.
And it takes all his time.
For people from distance who do
their buying by mail this is of course n
very good method. But the part to
which all sane people take exception
is the senseless sampling of those who
wander aimlessly about, evidently
gathering samples as n thoughtless
child sometimes pulls twigs in passing
bushes. The worst of it is we have to
pay for this senseless woman's foolish
ness, 1t being often observable that the
biggest samplers are the smallest buy
ers. One clerk says that he has actual
ly seen thrown upon the sidewalk the
samples given to woman after show

being ostensibly postponed because of
her fear that the goods will not match

auditor. He appreciates the sentiments
of his brother editors and returns his
thanks for the courtesy shown. a. w.

was almost the unanimous choice for
