ORIGIN OF THE WIG.

First One Mentioned in History Worn
by King SauI's Daughter.
The first wig mentioned in history
was made of goats 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 wis.,
tied Astyages, his grandfather, whose
eyes were framed in blue paint and
who wore an enormous wig, threw him.
self on his knees and cried: "Oh, moth
er, what a beautiful grandfather
havew Aglais, maid Of honor, was
SO struck by the appearance of the old
gentleman that she remained with
Astyages as a slave.
The Phoenician women, who were
proud Of their hair, having been order
ed 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 luxuriant
curls. In his chariot he had hundreds
of wigs Of all colors.
Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward
the end of the republic, and so well
made that, says Ovid, 'No man could
know if his wife had any hair at all
before she had given him an opportu-
nifty of selling her by the tresses. %
Teutonic peasants were the providers
of blonde hair for rich Roman prin-
cesses, who loved the contrast of its
faxen 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-

Secret of an Ocean Tragedy.


A peculiarly strange mystery of the
sea has just been solved and the fate
of the two well-known schooners How
ard II. Hanscom and James B. Pace,
which sailed from Philadelphia In No
vember, 1898, for New England ports
and were never afterward heard from
has been learned. Divers have located
both vessels sunk on the southern coast
of Massachusetts,, apparently In COLI
sion. In both skeletons of men were
found lashed to the rigging or to the
rail, and while there was nothing left Of
the flesh it is thought they can be rec
ognized by the clothing.
The grewsome discovery was brought
about in peculiar way.
Several days ago a heavily laden
steamship, while running along the
southern coast of Massachusetts, struck
a sunken obstruction at a point where
no obstruction should exist, according
to charts. The captain Of the steam
ship reported the occurrence and a
wrecking party, with divers, started off
to make an investigation. Upon reach
ing the exact locality where the menace
was plotted on the chart by the steam
ship captain two divers were sent down
and within short time came to the
surface and revealed the story of their
discovery. The news was telegraphed
the owners Of the missing craft and by
them was transmitted to the families
of the sailors 1t is the opinion of prac-
teal seafaring men that the vessels
fouled each other while scudding be-
fore the mighty force of the great No
vember storm. The men, as discovered
by the divers, were lashed to their posts
and had not the slightest chance to
escape death.-Philadelph Press.

mated the idea Of using the ninety-nine-
year lease as basis for building opera
tions. He invented the process and put
up at least thirty buildings in the busi-
ness district of the city. For ten years
the theory which he originated con-
trolled real estate values in the down
town district and led to the erection of
three-quarters of the skyscrapers in
Chicago. Owings started practically
without dollar, but his dealings In the
business world brought him so prom
inently before the public as success
full promoter that he can, as soon as his
affairs in bankruptcy courts are set
tied, secure unlimited capital for a new
start.
1t was he who brought to the West
the idea Of building skyscrapers. Ar
chitects refused, owing to wind pres
sure and to the quicksand formation
upon which downtown buildings rested,
to be responsible for damages in case
the buildings were wrecked, but Ow-
ings accepted the responsibility and
they were successfully erected.
Owing to unfortunate circumstances,
Owings was obliged to fail and, while
others have profited by his business sa-
gacity and become rich, he is to-day
acting as clerk in a brokers' office. That
his career will end in bankruptcy court
is not thought possible, as he has shown
himself to be a financier of the first
order and one of the most remarkable
men the West has ever known.

A Cafld,s YocahuIarx.

'The language which the child of six
employs Is apt to be the basis of his
speech throughout life," is the theory
advanced by an observant physician
writing in the Woman's Home Com
panion. I'VE cannot separate from
words the ideas for which they stand;
thus what might at first appear to be
merely an educational matter Is also
serious moral problem. The writer
retains tolerably clear recollection OF
his own boyhood, and he has enjoyed
the intimate acquaintance of many
young children. From this experience
he would express the opinion that a
very small minority of children at the
age of eight can be considered limo
cent and that very considera BILE
minority of boys Of five can swear flu
emily, and use a shockingly copious
stock of Objectionable words. By max
ing a hermit of a child we can post
pone for few years the inevitable
contact with the coarser manifesto
tions of human nature, but he will then
very likely be ashamed, by his very
lack of proficiency in evil. into greater
assiduity in acquiring the fruit of the
tree of knowledge. We have built up
special code of ethics for children
with vocabulary to match"
