THE HAIR HARVEST.
over 100000 Pounds of Human Hair
Used Annually.
ITO be continued.)

Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known by the av-
erge person than human hair as an
article Of commerce. 1t will doubtless
surprise many when 1t is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods do
not depend on chance clippings here
and there, but that there is regular
hair harvest that can always be relied
upon. 1t is estimated that over 12,-
000, 1000 pounds Of human hair are used
annually in the civilized world for
adjoining the heads of women, says a
writer in the Toledo Courier. Two-
thirds of the ladies nowadays use false
hair, more or less. The decree of
fashion or the desire to conceal a de-

Half wigs, top pieces and switches,

ONE FLAG and ONE LAW.
Ex-President Harrison Speaks on
the Constitution.
STATUS OF ANNEXED LANDS.
Says Taxes In Porto Rico Must Ee Un'-
form with Taxes In Other Parts of
the United states-Makes Some Direct
Statements

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 17.-Ex-Pres,
ident Benjamin Harrison, in an ad-
dress here last night, declared that
the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico
are a part of the United States and
that the constitution extended to them
in spite of any treaties or congresslon-
al legislation. To levy taxes in Porto
Rico that are not uniform with taxes
in other parts of the United States,
according to the former President, is
to deny that Porto Rico is a part OF
the United States. He said that while
some people declare that the sound OF
Dewey's guns in Manila bay heralded
a new mission for this country, to him
it seemed better to let it herald the
same old mission sounded by the guns
of Washington. Mr.. Harrison spoke
under the auspices of the Lecture asso.
citation OF the University Of Michigan
and 5000 people heard and applauded.
He began his lecture by disposing,
in few words. of the contention that
either Porto Rico or the Philippines
might not be part of the United
States. In fact, the subject Of his lee.
ture, "The Status of Annexed Terri.
tory and of It's Free Civilized Inhab.
itants," showed that he took the for
mer part of his subject as practically
for granted.
He disclaimed any intention Of max
ing legal or anything but popular
discussion of his subject. He said
that recent annexation OF territory by
the United States was somewhat out
of line with American history; that
heretofore land had been annexed that
was contiguous, except Alaska. and
even that was contiguous in the sense
of being close. This time, on the con
trary not land but people had been an
nexed; that territory formerly annexed
had been sparsely settled with civil
lied people and was adapted to the use
of free American people. Lately there
had been annexed insular territory.
situated in the tropics and unfit for
American habitation, even IL the land
were not already closely settled That
these islands were part of the United
States, even IL at the time OF the ces-
sion the Philippines were in revolt
against Spain, General Harrison de-
clared that no international board Of
arbitration would question.

Our sun a rhlrd-Rate One.

Our sun is third-rate sun, situated
in the milky way, one Of myriads Of
stars, and the milky way is itself one
of myriads of sectional star accumu-
lations, for these seem to be count
less, and to be spread over infinity. At
some period of their existence each Of
these suns had planets circling. around
it, which, after untold ages, are fit for
some sort of human beings to inhabit
them for comparatively brief period,
after which they still continue for
years to circle around without atmos-

the moon does around our planet.
There is nothing so calculated to take
the conceit out Of an individual who
thinks himself an important unit In
the universe as astronomy. 1t teaches
that we are less, compared with the
universe, than a colony Of ants is to
us. and that the difference between
men Is less than that between one ant
and another.-London Truth.

Keene's Tunnel.
BY PRINCE T. WOODS.


Copyrighted 19OO Daily Story Pub. Coz
The rain had poured in torrents all
day Sunday and that night the resi-
dents of Cedarville were lulled to
sleep by the never ceasing patter, pat
ter and drip, drip of the storm. Mon
day morning the wind veered suddenly
into the north and blew fine. light
snow into the faces, of the children
who were hurrying to the district
school on the mountain road. BY
noon the snow was falling so thick
and fast that big bob-sled was sent
up from the railroad for all the able
bodied men who could work to keep
the tracks open.
There were only two young men in
the village who had work enough
OF their own to keep them at home,
sherman Keene, the village black
smith, and DR.. Abner Coulson. Not
that DR.. Coulson was particularly
busy, he had only made his appear
ance in Cedarville a few months be-
fore, but he could hardly be expected
to participate in a snow-shoyelin5
bee.
The wind rose steadily all the after
noon and the storm settled down into
a genuine blizzard. Long before dark
it was apparent that the men who had
gone to help clear the railroad could
not return that night. Keene closed
the smithy early and made things
snug at home for the comfort of his
widowed mother and himself. Then
he made his way with difficulty
through the storm to some of the
neighbors, whose men-folks had gone
with the bob-sled party, and helped
them with the evening chores. On his
way home he looked in at the widow
Morse, who had come to the door to
greet him. and had seen that she was
provided with plenty Of wood and wa
ter against wild, stormy night. He
would not have stopped had Nannette
been at home, but she had not yet re-
turned from the school on the noun
tain road, where she guided the youth
full minds Of Cedarville through the
tangled paths of "readin'. writin' and
'rithmetic."
That night, while the storm howled
hercely without, Sherman Keene sat
in his comfortable armchair and oozed
before great fire of blazing logs on
the hearth in his sitting-room. Widow
keene had long since sought her bed.
Keene dreamed Of Nannette, and in
his dream she was always in danger,
what. he could not make quite clear;

Circular Saw Made of diamonds.

A diamond circular saw for cutting
stone is described in London En-
cheering, and is said to cut hard sand
stone blocks at the rate of five fleet
per minute. The saw has dovetailed
recesses in which are fitted steel
blocks. each containing diamond A
hole is drilled into the block, but
stopped before running through. A
diamond is dropped into the hole, and
a steel wire peg driven in behind it.
The block is then put in an electric
welding machine, and when it is soft
ened, pressure is applied until the dia-
mond is firmly gripped and the steel
peg is welded into place. The front of
the block is then filed away until the
diamond is exposed, and the sides ara
milled to fit the dovetailed recesses
in the saw. The positions Of the dia-
monds in the blocks vary, so as to en-
able the saw to clear itself in making
the cut.

MAHOMETAN SAINT.
Imad-Ud-Din Became n Christian and
Was Baptised In 1866.

The real thing-perhaps the only
real thing-in a Mahometan saint
turned Christian Is dead. Speculations
may now be INDUCED in by the devo-
tees of two religions whether the dead
saint is enjoying himself more in his
present state than if he had died in
the old faith. Imad-Ud-Din, the
proselyte, came of an old family,
which had for many generations held
its head high among the Mahometans
of the Punjab. In early life he ac-
quired so much fame as devout Ma
hometan that he was appointed to
preach against DR.. Pfander in the
Royal Mosque at Agra. AS fakir he
acquired widespread repute, and final
ly was worshiped; but after practic-
ing all the austerities of Mahometan-
ism, as followed by its recognized
devotees, he revolted from the system
and became a master in the govern
ment school in Lahore. He argued
with a friend who had accepted
Christianity, studied the gospel, and
as a result was led to seek admission
to the same faith himself. Sensation
was created when, in 1866, this Ma
hometan saint was baptized as a
Christian. In 1868 Bishop Milman ad-
mitted him to deacon's orders. His
learning, piety and zeal for years
made him one of the most conspicuous
figures in the evangelistic work Of the
church in North India. In 1884 Arch
bishop Benson conferred the Lam
beth degree of d. ID. upon him. A
paper sent by him to the Parliament
of Religions" at Chicago in 1898 was
one of the most striking utterances
heard at that curious gathering.

but there was some danger-something
wrong with Nannette. The dream was
most persistent, it would not leave
him.
Nannette and Keene had grown up
together in Cedarville. They had been
lovers, according to village gossip,
since they played together as children
in the sandheaps in Mother Morse's
garden. Since DR.. Coulson came to
town there had been growing cold
ness between the two. The doctor
had been very attentive to Nanette.
Sherman Keene resented this and had
demonstrated with Nannette, but the
little school teacher had taken offense
and in words more hasty than wise
minding him that she was still mis-
tress OF her own actions. Keene had
avoided her since that time and She
perhaps to show that she did not care,
had encouraged the attentions of the
gallant doctor. At all events, 1t was
with DR.. Coulson as escort that she at
tended many of the soclals and enter
tainments that winter. Keene loved
Nannette with all the deep feeling of
his sturdy manly nature, but he felt
that she had been in the wrong in
their quarrel and feared a haunting
repulse II he should attempt to rein
state himself. II Nannette preferred
tho dnntnr rathar he
would not try to interfere. II Nam
nette cared only for him, surely she
would acknowledge her fault some
day and all would be well again. At
any rate. Keene would not intrude
where he was not wanted. As for
Nannette. she seemed to be enjoying
herself.
Keene dreamed on as he sat before
the open fire. and it was not until the
first gray light of morning peeped in
at the windows that he awoke. He
was surprised to find himself still in
the armchair and the vague thought
OF his dream, something wrong with
Nannette." still haunted him. The
wind was still bowling about, and the
drifting snow swirled and clattered
about the windows. When he looked
out at the storm he cried out in aston
ishment. Never before had such sight
presented itself in Cedaryille. Great
mountains Of snow were piled up in
every direction, the Morse's cottage
could not be seen for the drifting snow
and the little red schoolhouse up on
the mountain side was buried all but
the chimney. AS Sherman Keene
looked with wide-eyed establishment
on the work of the blizzard. he seemed
to feel voice telling of something
wrong. some danger for Nannette.
Putting a flask of brandy in his
pocket, he buttoned his great peajacket
closely over 1t. wound giant muf-
fer about his head and strapped on "a
pair of snowshoes. Then he took a
shovel from the shed and called
to his mother as he left the house: II
am going over to the Morses to see
II they are all right" The cold. keen
wind stung his face as he staggered
over the snow toward the little cot
tage on the mountain road. At times
the drift blinded him.
He found Mrs. Morse alone and

TRADE AUTONOMY HIT.
system Opposed by American Federation
-, I.


Louisville. Ky, Dec. 1.-THE
American Federation of Labor to-day,
placed itself on record as opposed to
trade autonomy, and in favor Of CEN
tralization Of trade unionism, making
precedent for the establishment of
future organizations of the country
Two propositions for autonomy were
voted down on the ground, as stated
by their opponents, that they would
tend to disintegrate the large central
unions and destroy their power and
prestige.
The special committee on compul-
sorry arbitration reported as in full
accord with President Gompers when
he said that the right to quit work
was an inviolable prerogotive CT every
American workman and a restriction
OF that right an outrage on the liber-
ties of the American people. The re-
port recommended that the conven-
ton take such action as will secure
legislation for voluntary arbitration
as opposed to compulsory arbitration.
The report Of the special committee
was unanimously adopted.
