HAIR STEALING NOT NEW.
Pilferer Of Woman's Charms at Work
Eiahty Years Aao.

There was a remarkable scene in a
london police court on March y.
eighty years ago, when a number of
poor. excited women stood before the
magistrate arguing as 10 whom should
be the spokeswoman At length one
was found willing to voice the griey-
ance Il appeared that a barber nam
ed Rushton called at her poor abode,
and politely asked to look at her hair
She took off her cap at his bidding
and protesting TO fall in raptures with
the beauty Of its color and texture, he
offered a guinea for it, Being in
Strengthened circumstances the offer
was accepted, and Rushton at once
cut of the whole Of her hair and ran
away without making any payment.
1t transpired that all the other wo-
men in court had been similarly treat
ed on the same day. Efforts We're
made to catch the hair thief, but
without success.-London Answers.

The Cur Won't Fiqht.'

Judge sylvester Dana. who was fct
some years judge Of the police court
in Concord. y H.. always endeavored
to smooth over any iittle difference
between persons brought before him.
On one occasion the charge was for a
technical assault. and i came out il
the course OF the evidence that the
parties We're neighbors and had been
on the best of terms for some years.
1T is a great pity. said the judge.
that old friends. as YOU seem to have
been. should appear before me in such
a way. Surely this is case which
might be settled out Of court.
1T can't be done, Judge, answered
the plainriff moodily. Il thought OF
that myself, but the eur won't fstt,'

CATION has led to the conclusion that
( the average duration OF human life
al that period was not half what it is
at the present day. Bad food and
want Of cleanliness swept away the
people of the middle ages by ravages
upon their health that the limited
skin of the time could not resist. A
historian Of that time states that there
were no less than twenty thousand

to remember when we feel inclined

WOODEN SHOES IN KENTUCKY.
Dutch Settlers Around Louisville I'm

port 200 Pairs Of Them.
The very mention Of the idea that
wooden shoes are worn in and around
Louisville seems a bit prepOsterous
to the modern citizenship of this sec
tion, but they must be worn here
abouts-for they are shipped here.
Two hundred pairs Of these unique
specimens OF footwear passed through
the Louisville port yesterday They
came directly from Rotterdam, con-
signed 20 a local firm.
The Hollanders are famous for
making and wearing wooden shoes
and never lose their desire for wear
ing laem, even when they come to
this country. Scattered around in
this section there is a pretty good
sprinkle of these old-t'me Dutch. and
they must have their %ooden shoes.
The shoes received yesterday will be
disposed Of to these foreign born
Dutch.
The shoes are not only unique in
their make but are extremely light.
they are worn mostly during the
winter and in extreme wet weather.
They are made of one piece OF
wood and there is no such thing as
leak in them. There has been but
slight change in their make for CEN
turies.-Louisyille Courier-Journal.
