INCREASE IN FALSE HAIR.
Where 1t Comes From and How II
Is Handled-Great Care REQUIRED.

London is the point of distribution
for most of the false hair which finds
its way into the market. Within the
last five years, it is stated, the wearing
of false hair in one or other of the
many artistic and clever forms in
which it is now offered has advanced
by leaps and bounds. A conversation
with one Of the leading artifcers in
this line ELECTED many interesting facts.
He scorns hair from Chinese man or
woman, deeming it fit only for the
cheapest and most common of fringes,
transformations, etc. The markets he
and other good manufacturers of arti-
fetal hair frequent are mainly in Ger
many, Austria, France and Italy. The
idea that girls selling their hair de-
prive themselves Of all their tresses
at once is, it seems, erroneous. A girl
blessed with long, silky hair, and
wishing to make money out Of 1t, goes
to the hair merchant and tells him ex-
actly how much Of it she will part
with, or she divides the hair herseN,
and offers ii to him, to be cut off. Sad
to relate, the hair merchants, as a
class, have the reputation of sharp, If
not actually dishonest dealings, and
they are so lacking in principle and
sympathy that they invariably clip

For dust cloths, or for polishing

Congressman Mudd was nominated
Tor Congress for the eighth time at
Hyattsville on Wednesday. The
convention was pro forma affair, it
being generally conceded by the Re-
publicans Of this district that he
should have another nomination, If
he so desired, and being candidate,
the nomination was accorded him
with the utmost unanimity. MIR.
Mudd is the first of the candidates
for Congress in the field in this State,
and in having the nomination made
early he again shows his sagacity as
far-sighted politician. His election
is of course assured, but voting under
the present election law of the State
lis not an easy task, so it is wise that
the voters should have ample time to
familiarize themselves with the trick
so as to be able to turn it effectively
at the polls in November next The
nomination which has been for the
eighth time given Mr.. Mudd while
high compliment is but a just
tribute to his eminent fitness for the
position and a proper reward for the
faithful and efficient service he has
rendered to the district in Congress.
Space will not at this time permit us
to catalogue the different and partic-
ular acts of public service he has per-
formed as a member of Congress
that matter we will take up in detail
later-it is sufficient now to say that
the embodiment of the whole is
to be found in the following resolu-
ton adopted by the convention that
nominated him;
'sResolved, That the Republicans
of the Fifth Congressional district of
MARYLAND, in convention assembled,
cordially and unreservedly indorse
and commend the faithful, loyal and
valuable public services, ably and eff
Ifectiveiy rendered, of Hon. Sydney
(. Mudd, our present Representative
in Congress, during bis six terms of
membership therein that we partic-
ularly endorse his every vote and
act upon every public question arts
ing during the present session, in
cludiug his several votes upon what
| is known as the Statehood bill and
I'VE authorize and request him to ex'
ercise his individual, personal judg
ment in any way that he shall see ii
| for the advancement of what he shal
conceive to be the best interests OF
bis district, his State and country
and as far as may be in our power
we desire hereby to approve and to
ratify in advance whatever, in the
exercise of that judgment, he may do
for the promotion of the said inter
ests."

district, without regard to party, to
show that merit should reap its own
reward, and that the truth of the
axiom will again be wholesomely yer

there is no other man, rich or poor

probability is that the mail is brought

telephone service. The school within

with better sanitation and better
moral atmosphere The amusements,
simple as they may be, are as in

cheap theaters Yet the boy, getting
to the age of liberty, leaves the farm,
where he would have developed into

Each square inch of human skin
contains no fewer than $500 sweating
tubes or perspiration pores. Each of
these tubes, although wonderfully
minute, is about one-fourth of an inch
in length. Each of these sweat tubes
may be likened to tiny draintile. We
find that the average adult has about
2000 square inches Of skin on the sur
face of his body, Each square inch of
this outer euticle is, as we have said,
literally permeated with its $500 quar-
ter-inch perspiration bitches. If we
could put each of these little tubes end
to end we should find that they would
