Tho strange vicissltudcs through
which some OF the most highly priced
and valuable pictures now preserved
in public and private galleries have

Take, for Instance, the case Of a sen
scape by Turner.
y Captain Treliarne was spending n
holiday IN Yarmouth. CHANGING ono
day to be turning over the thousand
and one articles In ali old curiosity
shop. he came across dirty, ragged
painting depicting sea scene. 1t was

years the painting passed through

More remarkable was the purchase

SHEAR WOMEN LIKE SHEEP.
Every Year In Country Districts Of
Brittany and Normandy, Fair Ones
Part With Their Hair.

Every year, during the summer SEA
SON, fairs are held in the country
districts of Brittany and Normandy,
to which the peasant women flock to
sell their hair. Nearly always they
receive goods in payment, and often
they are woefully cheated, bartering
their tresses for some showy ribbons
or laces, worth but fraction of the
value of their hair.
The hair is cut off by the "shearers"
Gas they are called with little less
roughness than would be used in
shearing a sheep. In many cases the
victims look as If the hair had been
gnawed off by rats or removed with
a saw.
The hair gatherers who go about the
country shearing the peasants. sell
their wares TO the hair dressers and
wig-makers. But in many of the
Brittany villages there is at least one
dealer who purchases hair all the
year round, usually paying for it in
klnd; the most payment taking the
form, of "A shawl or scarf. Human

about 20 shillings a pound, so that
