Work for Ex-Convicts

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The suggestion that the state employ
ment agencies be used in securing work
for convicts released from the peniten-
tiaries Is Of such evident practical value
that it is a wonder it was never made be-
fore.
We all know that the reformatory work
which our penitentiaries to some extent
accomplish by training men in useful trades
Is often sacrificed because of the disad-
after they have been paroled or released.
It is hard for them to get employment, and
II they succeed without telling Of their
records they are apt at almost any time to
be found out and discharged.
The state possesses In its employment
agencies a piece Of mechanism which can
be made very effective in aiding such men.
Primarily the agencies were designed for
ordinary Industrial uses, the need of them
vate agencies. They WILL however, lend
themselves readily to this further use with
out in any way interfering with their orig
inal purpose.
Work of the kind that is to be done is
something more than routine. 1t needs an
intimate knowledge of the men who are to
be helped, and a great deal of tact In
bringing them and the employers together.
The authorities of the prisons must CO.
operate if 1t Is to be success.
All these things have been allowed for
by Gov. Dineen in suggesting the use of
the agencies in this way. Supt. Cruden of
the South Side agency Is already in COM
munication with the wardens of the peni-
tentiaries. and the details of the plan are
being arranged. The start will be made
with the best hopes Of great usefulness.

BABY CRABS.
They Differ Greatly in General APP
pearance From Their Parents.

pearance From Their Parents.
From st. Nicholas.
The baby crabs differ greatly In general
appearance from their parents. SO that II
you should see one floating about In the
water you would not connect 1t with the
crabs in any way. After leaving the egg
1t passes through many stages of develop
ment. Less than hundred years ago natu-
ralists thought that they had found some
very strange new animals when they dis
covered the young crabs In the various
stages Of growth. One they called nau-
PLUS and another q zoea. We use the
same names now to denote the stages Of de-
velopment through which the little crab
passes. Mr.. Frank auckland says. in de-
scribing one which has just left the egg:
"A google eye, a hawks beak. a scorpions
tall, rhinoceross horn adorn body
fringed with legs. yet scarcely bigger than
a grain of sand"
In the nauplius stage there are three
pairs Of legs and one eye In the middle or
the head. Next comes the zoea stage, and
now our little friend rejoices in pair of
eyes and number Of long. sharp spines,
which grow out on all sides Of its body. As
its own battles. nature has provided the
spines as a protection against wandering
fishes who might think the little crab
dainty morsel were 1t unarmed; but when
1t by unnoticed. Next comes the megalopa
stage, in which the legs are well developed
Other stages follow, until at last it comes
out a perfect copy Of its parents.
Once all crabs lived in the sea and BREATH
ed by means of gills. After time there
were some kinds which thought, after ex-
perimenting, that a life on land would be
better than remaining always In the water.
In this way. as Carl Semper has discov-
cred. the gill chambers. consisting Of a
lower and upper portion. have been trans
formed-only contain the true gills-while
the upper portion Is an air-breathing lung.
Tho crabs are thus fitted for spending as
much time or as little as they choose in
their native element and the remainder
upon land

CARE OF ARTIFICIAL HAIR.
Directions for Keeping Curls, Switches
and Puffs in Good Order.

ana EunS In 6O00 Oroer.
From the New York Sun. ~ -
All authorities on false hair seem to
agree that while a heavy switch should
be shampooed regularly and thoroughly
the little curls and puffs so much worn
at the present time do not need the same
treatment. The dust can easily be brush
ed out Of these small pieces and they do
not come into so close contact with the
natural hair as switch which is gener-
ally twisted in with the wearers own
hair.
While there is normally no oil in the
artificial hair. still 1t absorbs a certain
amount Of Oil from contact with the
natural hair. and for this reason needs
washing. This should not be done fire.
two months is quite sufficient to keep u
heavy switch in good condition.
The directions for washing false hair
are almost exactly the reverse of those
prescribed for the shampoofng of natural
hair. The same soap may he used, or
whatever shampoo mixture Is preferred:
but this should not be rubbed directly on
the hair.
into bowl full of soapsuds. After being
thoroughly washed 1t must be carefully
rinsed in many waters. some hatrdresssrs
insisting that eight rinsing waters are
none too many to insure the thorough
disappearance of the soap.
While natural hair should be dried in
the bright sunshine whenever possible,
this practice should be carefully avoided
with artificial hair. as strong sunlight
tends to fade 1t. The best method of dry
ing switch is to hang 1t at night In an
open window in strong breeze.
BY morning 1t should be perfectly dry
and the breeze has tendency to make
It light and funny. 1t may then be comb
ed with a coarse-toothed comb to remove
the tangfes.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September At was gener-
ally believed in speculative quarters this
morning that the trading in stocks this
week would be on much larger scale than
the daily average last week and that fur
Their sharp advances would be recorded.
It was still believed that Union Pacific
would be the leader Of the market. This
security was expected soon to cross 200 and
much higher prices still were predicted
for 1t. The upward movement in st. Paul.
1t was predicted, would be carried consid-
erably further.
While all the details of the sale Of a part
of the holdings of the Pennsylvania railroad
in the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western have not been learned, 1t was the
belief of some brokers that the transaction
should be regarded favorably for Pennsyl-
vania stocks marketwise. 1t was said that
there was little doubt about the next divi-
dend on Pennsylvania stock being at the
rate Of seven per cent a year, and 1t was
predicted sharp advance in the market
price Of this security would occur. In the
absence Of actual knowledge there was.
however, considerable difference of opinion
as to what disposition would be made Of
the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and
& Co. BY some 1t was thought that
Baltimore and Ohio stock purchased by
that firm had already been sold in the mar
ket, and hence the hitherto unexplainable
heaviness of that security. By: others 1t
was believed that the Baltimore and Ohio
stock sold by the Pennsylvania railroad was
being held by the bankers and would be in
volved in an important railroad deal soon
to be announced Those who hold the lat
ter idea would not be surprised to hear that
the formal holdings of the Pennsylvania
railroad in the Norfolk and Western have
already been distributed in the open mar
ket.
A correspondent at Pittsburg says: Pitts
burg is threatened not only with shortage
of cars, but with freight congestion, and
the railroad officials are putting forth every
effort to keep freight trains moving and
to supply the shippers with the desired
number of cars. Many of the manufactur-
ing plants were closed yesterday. The
local yards of freight and to get everything
in shape to handle the traffic when the
plants resume operations again this morn
ing. Yesterday was the first time in many
years that all departments of the. local
railroads were in operation on Labor day.
Railroad officials took advantage of a holi-
day following a Sunday, and in those two
days an unusually large amount of freigh'
was handled. There Is some improve
ment in the car situation as a result and
officials of the roads centering here say
that if the new cars are turned out by the
manufacturing concerns rapidly as ex-
pected one Of the most threatening car
shortages in. this district can be partly
averted. Needless to say the movement of
cars for the month of August smashed all
records for that month"
