Much of the black hair that is sold in
the hair market comes from China The
London News interviewed the other
day a wholesale dealer in hair, who
said: Il am not fully acquainted with
Chinese customs, but l understand in a
general way that the Chinaman who
disobeys the law suffers the loss of his
cue, which Il thrifty government turns
into cash. perhaps to defray some part
of the prosecution. Then | understand
from a friend of mine who has travelled
great deal In the east that on a Chi
nese sailor dying at sea his cue is cut
off and dispatched to the government,
whether in accordance with some reli-
gious requirement or as a sort of in
formal death certificate l am unable to
say. But these tails after their arrival
has been duly chronicled also, I under
stand, find their way to the English
and American markets. Chinese hair Is
coarse, but its length gives it a special
value in our business"

In comic opera company which
played in Washington once there was
a prima donna who managed, in one
way or another, to offend the tenor.
Now, the prima donna's great song
was sung with only herself and the
tenor on the stage. On the night when
he decided that his hour for revenge
had come he strolled down to the foot
lights as the lady began her song, gaz-
ed out into the audience and yawned
enormously. A yawn is the most in
fectious thing in the world. Smallpox
isn't a circumstance compared to 1t.
By the end of the first verse the primS
donna was looking out over lowered
footlights at a packed house, and the
packed house was one solid yawn. The
sand bag and the ak are not mans only
weapons of vengeance. - Washington

SALT IN BuTTER.
"Gritty Butter" ''NIottIes" and Emecs
of salt on Market Quality.

Va FNAN
Gritty butter is a familiar phrase
used by expert butter scorers to indi-
cate that part of the salt is present in
an undissolved condition Such a con,
dition OF the salt in butter may be duo
to o. poor condition of the salt before
it is used; (2) adding so much salt to
the butter taat it cannot properly be
dissolved 10y the amount of water in
it; 90 in some instances insufficient
working. When gritty butter is caused
by insufficient working notified butter
usually results.
Gritty Butter as a Cause of Notifies.
1t is Il common opinion that if the
salt in butter is not we'll dissolved
then the butter will become notified on
standing. If all the water has not been
saturated with salt and there is still
some undissolved salt left then the
granular salt will cause notifies. This
has been known for a long time but
whether undiSsolved salt left in butter
after the water in the butter has been
saturated will really cause notifies
has been a question of conjecture. EX-
periments at the Iowa station are said
by Messrs. Mckay and Lorsen to prove
satisfactorily that notified butter does
not always occur from undissolveI
salt If the butter is worked sufficient
ly to distribute the salt evenly in the
butter and to cause the water to be
saturated, then no notifies will result
from the presence of undissolved salt
Butter Flavor Covered by Salt.
Owing to the degree of influence the
condition of salt in butter and the
amount of salt have upon the market
quality of the butter. it is worth while
to give this part of buttermaking as
much study and application of skill as
conditions will permit. 1t might be
mentioned in connection with this that
comparatively poor butter seemed to
have Il better sale when the salt con-
tent was comparatively high. while if
the butter were of the better quality =
high salt content did not haze the same
effect. This is undoubtedly due to tho
fact that the poor butter favors are to
a large extent covered up by the salt,
while il the butter has Il good flavor
no salt is needed to cover up defects.

sadness of the sea.

The two great causes Of very grad.
ual increase in the sadness of the sea
are the solvent powers of water and
the process of evaporation. By their
solvent powers rain, rivers and springs
draw salts out of the land and carry
them to the sea In evaporation the
sun. as an enormous pump, is ever
drawing up pure water, leaving all SOL
Ids behind. On the other hand, many
marine organisms, plants and animals
are continually extracting mineral mat
ter from the sea wherewith to build up
the solid parts of their bodily frames.
Whenever the point of saturation is
reached salt is deposited, as in the salt
pans of the Caspian, the Dead sea, Salt
lake, Utah, and numerous beds of rock
salt.

Rice as Stock Feed.

Orange Tribune: The more the rice
situation is studied the more apparent
it becomes that rice farming is all
right if the same intelligent methods
are used that have made diversified
farming successful everywhere. Hap
PLY for the South, rice offers a sub.
stitute for corn, wheat, and oats as a
stock feed, and while it may be news
to some that wheat has never been
used as stock feed, it is nevertheless
true that thousands of farmers have
been forced to feed wheat, when in
past years the price went too low.
Rice therefore, will not only be a
good substitute for stock feed, but it
will take the low grade rice out of
consideration for milling, and instead
of our sending money to Missouri to
buy the feed and then pay freight
an profit to the dealers, the farmer
will raise his own feed and get q
better price for his rice than if he
should have it milled,

COlOred Waiter Goes to Jail,

A. Gilmore, colored, for the past six

charge of bond forfeiture. Gilmore.
1t is claimed, shot into house at New
Iberia two years ago. He was arrest

called for trial.
He was apprehended in an amusing
way. Gilmore was one of the proprie-
tors of the Welsh Tailoring Establish
ment which was robbed or several
suits of clothes Wednesday night of
last week. He at once suspected the
guilty party, and Thursday morning
went before Squire J. r. Robichaux

that he was the man he had been look
