FIRST WIG IN HISTORY.
t Was Worn by the Daughter of
Saul, King of Israel.

1t Was Worn by the Daughter of
Saul, King of Israel.
The first wig mentioned in history
was made of so+,.s skin and worn by
the daughter of Saul, king Of Israel.
The first artistic wigs were made in
the south of Italy for the Gapiniens,
who lived in Apulia and were known
for the luXuries of their toilet These
people were. they say, the first who
painted their faces. This they did with
the juice of strawberries.
The Persians wore wigs. Xenophon
relates that little Cyrus, when he visit
ed Astyages, 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
l have" Aglais. maid of honor, was
SO struck by the appearance of the old
gentleman that she remained with AS
tyages as a slave.
The Ph@nician women, who were
proud of their hair. having been or
dered by their priests to offer it up on
the affairs dedicated to Venus after the
death of Adonis, obeyed. but with muir
muring. Soon after they were consoled
by Greek merchant, who told them
that he would give them the means of
hiding their bald pates under luxurious
curls. In his chariot he had hundreds
of wigs of all colors.
Wigs We're in vogue in Rome toward
the end of the republic and so we'll
made that. says Ovid, mo man could
know if his wife had any hair at all be-
fore she had given him an opportunity
of Selling her by the tresses."
Teutonic peasants were the provid-
ers of blond hair for rich Roman prin-
cesses. who loved the contrast of it's
f1axen hue with their black eyes. They
even had morning wigs. small and
tightly curled. of any color, and they
kept the beautiful fair ones to receive
their admirers at night. Messalina had
$50 wigs to disguise herself.-Cincin

in the Pittsburg Dispatch that he would
spend Sunday here and attend the Sec

The following telegram was received
last night from Norman E. Mack, ed

York State Committeeman:

ternoon at Niagara Falls, and tonight
at Buffalo. He will doubtless came to

ward the Island Of Porto Rico the Deo-
pie of the Philippines, and the treaty.
As to the utter uselessnass and injur-

that the American policy was OF such
a great advantage over the colonial
policy that men came to this country
from other nations and worked and
earned enough to go back, AMI leaving
their dear ones here to become good
American citizens, turned backs
on the continental policy. We devoted
our time to building I'D institutions of

ditions continued until aIr. Mckinley
was elected and turned his back on
this country.
