ETIQUETTE OF WIGS.
bald Men, With Care, May Complete
the Illusion They seek.

The baldheaded man who Is not re-
signed TO his fate and who is posted on
the etiquette of wig wearing adorns
himself with faithful copy of nature
which Stimulates his poverty instead of
her wealth, says the Chicago Trbune.
For an artistic wig for man is usual
~ made thin or nearly bald on the
crown, so as to allay suspicion. When
the wig Is adjusted to the mans head,
the pink scalp shows through the white
net Of foundation at the crown, thus
leaving IA modest suggestion of bald
ness. This Is the first principle of the
etiquette of wig wearing-claim too lit
tie rather than too much of natures
covering.
This principle Is carried to u refine
ment of perfection by the man who can
afford the luxury Of buying several
wigs, for he may then make the tran
sition from badness to semblance of
his former self cover IA space Of two or
three years and thus complete the de
ception, which Is the aim of all wearers
of wigs.
\ cardinal point In the etiquette of
wig wearing Is that one should not
Wear his wig In bed. 1t is not proper.
Some, either from motives OF extreme
vanity or from an unwillineness 10
shock the delicate sensibilities of their
families, sleep in their wigs. This pr1e-
tiee Is condemned unhesitatingly IT j.
unclean. one should substitute for the
Wig worn during the day simple
nightcap of muslin, 10 insure one
against taking cold
In the morning, as the last touch oi
perfection to the toilet, the wig should
be delieately adjusted and then glued
10 ones head II this adjustment Is
carefully made and If one is wearing
really fine wig he may defy both
wind and sunlight to betray that
things are not what they seem"
This careful adjustment of the wig
Is most important point. 1t requires
eternal vigilance. since a single care
less adjustment means ruin. Along the
edge of the wig OF ordinary size are
five spots about half the size Of a
penny where the paste or glue Is ap.
piled with which the wig is made fast
10 the head. The paste must be care
fully applied, since IL it comes In con
tact with the hair ii destroys Its life
like appearance.
\ practice generally observed by tho
wearers Of fine wigs is that of dressing
the hair In a variety of ways. This is
desirable, since II suggests ii natural
head of hair, yet this practice is per
feetly possible with a really line wig
every hair of which IS separately AT
taehed To the net foundation.

SAMURAi AND JlU-JlTSU.
The Most Wonderful System of Ath-
Ietics In the World.

More than 1900 years ago there
sprang into existence in Japan an or
der Of knights who were known as the
samurai. To them was impaired all
the learning, the polite breeding and
the forms Of superiority that mark the
gentleman. They were skilled in arms
and versed in the arts of war, for they
We're the emperor's fighting men, and
none but they were allowed to bear
arms.
AS there could not always be war on
hand, and as 1t was considered be-
meath the dignity of the samurai to go
into any ordinary callings, 1t came
about naturally that these little knights
found much idle time on their hands
Being men of war, they turned their
attention to athletic feats.
One among the samurai conceived
the idea of learning by practice the
location of every sensitive nerve and
muscle In the body. After that he dis
covered all the joints of the bones that
could be seized In such way as to
give momentary power over the mus
cles of an adversary. He practieed
with his fellow samurai, and thus by
degrees was developed the most Won
derful system of athletics known In
the world.
The Japanese call this work Jiu jltsu
The deft pressures applied In the prac-
tlce Of Jiu-jitsu produce only momen
tary pain, but do not really lnjure the
muscles or nerves. In all other things
the japanese are the most polite peo
pie In the world. So Ii follows that
even IN their fighting they have de
yeloped Il humane yet effective method
of self defense They do not strike out
with the clinched fist and seek TO
bruse, as do the Anglo-Saxons IN their
boxing contests.
\ knowledge of Jiu-jitsu enables one
almost instantly to convince his oppo
nent that it Is useless to fight. There
are now schools OF Jiu- jilsn everywhere
In Japan. Every soldier, sailor and
policeman is obliged to perfect himself
