Automobile Superstition.

One of the curiosities of automobile pioneering is revealed in the story of a man and his wife who have just re- turned from tour into northern Maine in their gasoline machine, says the Hart ford Times. It seems there was great fear of the automobile, which may not be very strange, as the people there had never seen one before, but it took the form of general apprehension that the machine would blow up. It was difficult to get it under cover at night for that reason, and it was even difficult to obtain shelter for the travellers themselves in some places.

The Headsman,s Defense.

Deibler Jr.. who has succeeded his
father as public executioner of France,
has sent. through a process server, a
letter TO a journal by which he con-
siders that he has been libeled. The
newspaper had attacked the principle
of capital punishment in general, and
the present guillotine operator in par
ticular. The remarks in Deibler's let
ter are quite worth quoting. He OBJ
serves that the journal has fallen into
the common mistake of coupling the
functionary with the function. If the
writer had taken the trouble to make
inquiries he would have found out
that, in this instance, the man and the
institution are to be considered apart.

Leviathan AAoat

NEW YORK, July New York is
awaiting with considerable interest
the arrival in port Of the Baltic. the
latest White Star Ieviathan and the
largest steamship ever launched. The
Baltic left Liverpool day before yes
terday and is due in New York early
next week.
Registering, as she does, $4,000
tons, the Baltic exceeds the Cedric
and Celtic by 5000 tons. Her capacity
for cargo is about $4,000 tons, and
the displacement at her load draft
about 10000 tons. She is 726 feet in
length, or twenty-six feet longer than
the Cedric and Celtic, which, with her
two great tunnels and four pole
masts, she greatly resembles.
The symetry Of her hull is SO per
feet that it is only when In juxt a
position to other craft that the steam.
er's tremendous size is apparent. She
is primarily intended to meet the
want of an increasing number Of
travellers whose first desire Is not
great speed. but the largest modicum
Of comfort coupled with moderate
speed. She can carry 1900 passeng.

Patriotism Of
japanese Women

The intense patriotism exhibited by
the people Of Japan during the pro-
gress Of the present war has been a
matter of widespread comment, but
nothing could more quickly reveal
this most commendable trait than the
statement that the women of Japan
are sacrificing their tresses in order
to aid the cause of their country. II
Is claimed the practice has grown TO
large proportions in the island en-
iloire for the women OF that county
to cut off their long and ~luxurTant
hair and sell it to agents who are
ready bidders for the same. And the
custom is not confined to the voneD
of the poorer classes alone, .. il
stated that many of the foremost wo-
men of the land have adopted the
same plan. With some OF them the
idea is to raise money for the pnr-
pose Of providing for their immediate
needs, probably in cases where the
regular b~read.winners Of the family
have gone TO the front to fight FOR The
honor and success Of their nation. Bit
in either case the exhibition or 10y
atty and patriotism Is a most signtfi-
cant reminder of the temper Of che
Japanese people, and constitutes an
act of self-sacrifice and devotion
which almost passes belief.
The bulk of this hair taken from
the heads of the women of japan is
said to find a market | nthis country,
where 1t is In ready demand by col.
ored women and others who affect
wigs of long, black tresses. 1t is
claimed that In cities like Washing
Ton Baltimore and New Orleans,
where negroes who have money TO
spend for adornment are many, the
dealers who make it a business TO
cater to this trade have large guam
titles Of Japanese hair in stock to
supply the demand. Heretofore wigs
made of it have been quite expensive,
while now they have grown compare
lively cheap, on account Of the larger
supply of Japanese hair which has
come on the market. But after all
there is something pathetic in the re-
membrane that the reason for this
reduction in prices is the fact that the
faithful, loyal women of Japan are
sacrificing their tresses for the pur.
pose of aiding their country in a most
trying and p~erilous time.
