DlSUSE OF HAIR POWDER.
Immense Draft on England's Flour
Supply Caused Public
Disapproval.

During the last years Of the eight.
zenith century the price of grain in
England was very high. So much -four
was used as hair powder that an at
tempt was made to check it's use. A
recent book, "A Sign of the Barber
Pole" contains q copy of a docu.
ment issued by the mayor, justices
and principal Inhabitants" of Great
Yarmouth, recommending the disuse
of hair powder for a time.
1--WE flatter ourselves" they said in
this proclamation, which was issued
in January, 1895. "the military will
not hesitate to adopt it, being fully
convinced that appearances are at all
times to be sacrificed to the public
veal, and that in doing this they
really do good. January q, 1895"
In the following April a party of
gentlemen at Woburn Abbey. entered
into an engagement to forfeit a GER
tain sum of money if any of them
wore their hair tied or powdered
within a certain period.
Nevertheless the tories regarded
with distrust persons who did not
use hair powder. So late as 1870
certain Major Cox, of Derby, an
excellent tory, declined to allow his
son to become pupil of a well-known
clerical tutor, for the reason that the
clergyman did nor powder, and that
he wore his hair short, which sug-
gested that he must be a dangerous
revolutionist.

Of Late Years the City Has Broken

The other evening I was dining

Gazette. when went away peo-
pie called tea 'tilleul,' and drank it

trio sky signs, they make me quite
giddy on the boulevards now" 1t is
quite true. Paris. of late years, has
broken out everywhere into electric
sky signs, and if the craze for them
continues it will be useless for a shop
to advertise it's whereabouts except
with lettering which can be illumi

lOpera and all along the boulevards
the sky signs twinkle in and out like
gigantic caterrillars in Z made Christ

Most of the small boys in Lakewood
envy young Master Field, because they
only see him when he goes driving or

when he goes walking down the long

how these boys would grumble if they
had to work as Master Field works

Young Marshall Field is well-built
little chap, having inherited from his
father and grandfather the broad
shoulders and erect carriage of the
Fields.
At present he dresses in deep
mourning. He is gentle, unaffected
and frank in manner, like dozens of

pretty much the same things, such as
tops and kites and marbles and guns,
and all sorts of boyish sports.

But here it was that a strong trait
OF character which made Marshall
Field SO successful in the: business

obtained results. He said:

him and let them call out in him
those qualities which made his grand
father SO eminently successful in
the business world and so esteemed as
a citizen?
The Boy.
We ask these questions, and turn
instinctively to the boy as he is to-day
to read if possible our answers. for
the boy is father of the man, and the
characteristics We note in the youth
we find accentuated in the man. What
manner of lad is this Marshall Field

better than anywhere else. Several
years ago he was attacked with rheu-
matism and at that time his life was
despaired of and it was thought that
even though he lived he would be a
cripple for life. But the skill of the
doctor and the careful nursing and
the air at Lakewood have triumphed
over his intirmities, and he gives
promise now of developing into a stall
wart manhood.
At the age of this boy the grand
father was blowing and reaping and
toiling on farm, and planning in
his mind how to win the fortune
which he subsequently acquired.

hatred directed against him during his
life than against any other man with
a fortune anyway near as large as the
Field fortune. 4 In him the claim that
no man can accumulate many millions
honestly is refuted. In the public
mind he did not represent the type
that climbs up by pushing others down.
The Beginning. Il
Away back in the sos, Marshall
Field began his mercantile career in
Chicago as clerk in the employ Of
J. V. Farwell. Working for the same
firm at the time was another young
man, Levi z. Letter, who later became
Marshall Fields associate in business.
Referring to those early years. Mr..
Farwell says: -
Levi 2. Letter and Marshall Field
were both clerks of ours. When the
war broke out we took them in as part
ners in the store and lent them money.
The business conditions of the country
at that time were something unexam-
pied before or since. The war changed
the prices of everything. Goods were
up and money was down. Consequent
