HAIR STEALING NOT NEW.
Pilferer Of Woman's Charms at Work
Eighty Years AGO,

There was a remarkable scene in a
London police court on March IL,
eighty years ago, when a number OF
poor, excited women stood before the
magistrate arguing as to whom should
be the spokeswoman. At length one
was found willing TO voice the griev-
ance. 1t appeared that a barber named
Rushton called at her poor abode,
and politely asked to look at her hair.
She took off er cap at his bidding,
and protesting TO fall in raptures with
the beauty or its color and texture, he
offered guinea for ii. 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 women
in court had been similarly treated on
the same day. Efforts were made to
catch the hair thief, but without sue
cess.-London Answers.

MONKEYS As GAY WAos.
Observation Proves They Have q
Sense Of Humor.

Recently a monkey got the better OF
the common enemy. the carrion crow,
by feigning Illness. He was fastened
to bamboo pole with a running ring.
When he was on his perch the crows
annoyed him by stealing from his por-
ringer on the ground.
One morning they had been special
~ disagreeable. He closed his eyes
and feigned a bad illness When his
days food was brought the crows de-
scended upon II, and he had scarcely
strength to defend IT,
BY good acting he managed to cap
ture one of the crows. To pluck 1t
alive was the obvious course. Then,
instead of pulling il to pieces. like the
king monkey whom Kipling and Sir
Edward Buck watched enjoying a sim
liza: triumph in Simla, this monkey
tossed the crow into the air. where
its own companions fell upon II and
killed il.
Monkeys certainly have a sense OF
fun. Darwin used TO spend hours
w9tching young female orang-outang
in the geological gardens, and was
sure that she had the comic sentiment.
She delighted to put on her head,
like a cap, peculiar shaped bowl,
which had droll effect, and she was
sensitive to the effect which her joke
produced upon the spectators.-Lahore

NATURAL GAS IN ENGLAND.
Struck in 1882. No Use Seems TO Have
Been Made Of II.

During the last summer. says an
English magazine OF 1882, bore was
put down at tombstone, to the depth Of
$50 feet, for the purpose of procuring
water. The boring was mostly
through shale or till.
At the depth of 125 feet, or thereby,
the workmen heard noise proceeding
from the bore. which they supposed to
be from water rushing upward. but
which proved to be from gas.
The bore was sunk twenty-five feet
deeper, when an abundant supply OF
water was procured. so as nearly to
rise TO the surface The supply OF
gas, however, did not fail II con-
tinues to ascend through the superin-
cumbent column of water with hiss
ing noise, and, when light is ap-
piled. burns with a blue flame.
No analysis has been made of the
gas. but from the accounts of the
workmen it may safely be con ed
that IL is hydrogen. The quan. is
SO considerable as nearly to be suf-
ficient to supply two or three gas
burners of the ordinary size. Ii gives
out little light in combustion, prob
ably from the absence of carbon in
its composition.

Under the Apple Tree.

In the garden of a great man six
persons were sitting, a scientific man,
a merchant, a poet, young man
vesy much in love-a lawyer and a
lady The wind was blowing rather
hard and six apples fell down. Each
took one. The scientific man took
his apple and discovered a new law
OF nature. The merchant sold his.
The poet ate his. The young man who
was very much in love gave his to his
sweetheart The lawyer went TO law
against the owner of the tree on &C.
count of being hit by the fallen apple.
Blu. the lady took her apple to the
owner of the tree, gained his affec-
tions, and as he was rich she had
lots of money all the rest of her life.

When You Drink Tea.

"The scientific justification for add
ing milk TO tea" says the Dietetic
and Hygienic Gazette. comes from
the facts that the fannie acid con-
tanned in tea combines with the albu'
men of the milk to form tannate of al
bumen, which is practically leather.
BY drinking tea alone the coating OF
the stomach Is made leathery. But
when milk, which contains albumen,
is added the molecules of tsnnic acid
select their affinity of albumen from
It, and, as a divorce is unknown to
tannate of albumen, the lining of the
stomach is less Liable to be affected
by the fannie acid than it would be
If the tea were taken alone"

SACRED VuIture" Shot.

A specimen of the very rare
"Pond;cherry" or sacred vulture" OF
India and Africa was shot recently In
South Africa. Its measurements
were: From tip to tip of wings, LOG
inches; from beak to tip of tail, AZ
inches. The sacred vulture," which
grows to an immense size. has its
head bare, neck covered with folds
of skin of pinkish hue, and tremen-
dou1ly powerful beak and claws. 1t
is described as very self-assertive,
driving off all other birds from their
prey. 1t builds enormous nests OF
sticks and leaves and lays but one egg
during the season.

After Transvaal tobacco. but a long

South Africa, for this tobacco is grown

colony, is sold by the roll and can be
obtained for about So a pound IL a
whole roll Is purchased. II is also sold
by the sack.
White men buy these sacks. but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they US IL to reward the Kaffir serv-
ants for working overtime, or doing
any other meritorious action. The
taste for Transvaal tobacco Is an &C
CURED one; II also takes certain
time before a man gets used to the
scent. No white man who has come
from a distance has SO far lived long
enough to acquire liking for either
the taste or the smell, but II has its
uses In the case OF the natives. and il
is also useful II you have an unde-
sirable visitor who you are anxious to
get rid Of. Offer him a pipe of Boer
tobacco and he will never enter your
home again.
The traders purchase this weed
largely; they also use it upon the
natives In the shape of presents, as
every Kaffir who makes a purchase in
country store always asks for free
gift and the competition to secure the
native trade is so acute that the re-
quest cannot be refused.
