curious was recently mentioned by
little schoolgirl.

strainers Made of Mems Hair.

The barber, as his patron rose, shook
from the apron to the floor the short
locks that he had clipped from the mans
head, and at the same time boy APP
peared, swept up the hair, and placed
it carefully in a large bag.
HAS it got any use?' asked the pa
iron, with an interested and pleased
smile"
''0f course it has" said the barber
Would / save it otherwisey'
But ii is so short"
me matter. 1t has its uses
what is it used forY' said the man.
What will become of that short hair
which l have been carrying about so
long under my hatY'
Well" said the barber, "some of ii
will go into mortar, some Of it will stuff
furniture, but most of it will be made
into those fine strainers which are used
to clarity the best syrups. There are
no strainers equal to those woven of
short human hair, and for all the hair
that we BARRIERS can supply the strainer
makers keep up steady demand"

Behind the Scenes.

One Of the best ways to clear and inn
prove the skin is to steam the face
once each week. To do this hold fold
ed towel dipped in hot water to the face
until the skin is bright red. Before it
cools massage thoroughly with skin-food
cream. 1t is a good plan occasionally
instead of using the cream to wash the
face in buttermilk, or plain sour milk
This last tones and gives a healthy
color to the skin, and is in all ways a
most wholesome cosmetic. After steam
ing the face it should always be
drenched in cold water to close the pores
"Rufing" or ''roughing'' the hair, if
carefully done, will not injure it, says
one woman who speaks with authority
Lit is unnecessary TO explain in this day
and age that to ruff means to comb the
underpart of the pompadour backward
and thus form ii cushion for it. Then
the hair dressers have any number of ar
tieles for sale which are warranted to
make the "slickest" hair fluffy. The
best of these consists of a string to
which is woven natural hair. 1t is
pinned ON the head, the hair combed over
it. and behold, mademoiselle is as fam
boyant as to hair as possible. Damp
ening the hair and then pressing it here
and there with the fingers until it dries
is a simple method of obtaining waves
that is effective in the case of many q
woman who thinks her hair is hopelessy
straight. The road TO a beautiful Golf
fure is a hard one to ''trabbie" and ii
takes hours of work and planning for
one with soft hair TO obtain the desired
end.

Little Novelties.

Tiny pretzels in fish shapes are a table
novelty.
A handsome new tea strainer is in the
form of silver grape leaf, the long
handle formed of entwined stems.
A biz of table elegance is handsome
little TEA bell of cut glass with silver
handle and silver clapper on silver
chain.
A double-endee medicine spoon is new
One end is in teaspoon and the other in
dessert size, and there is a rest on which
to set the spoon down midway on the
handle.
Strawberry hullers are rather late for
this year, but next season will save fin.

Egg-cutters wherewith an entire hard
boiled egg may be neatly sliced or quar-
tered at one fell swoop have appeared.
The device is something like a pair Of
little tongs, holding the egg in one end
while a disc of sharp wires on the other
descends TO cut il at one stroke into
quarters or slices as desired.

THE COAL SACK.
Astronomical Mythology of the Austria
liam Blackfellow.

Immediately below the lower stars of
the group which forms the Southern
Cross there is black patch in the sky,
dark, sack-shaped and mysterious. Sci
entifcally accurate astronomers explain
that it is not a patch but rather some
thing which becomes visible by reason OF
the anomaly that it contains nothing that
is visible. The lay mind, preferring bald
reality to abstract truth, is somewhat
startled to learn that an object is seen
because there is nothing in it to see but
no one can dispute the faet the coal sack
10 visible because it contains nothing that
is visible. In other words, it is a vast
hole in the stellar system in which there
is not even pinch of stellar dust to
shed flicker of luminosity. 1t is typi-
cally and absolutely the quintessence OF
blackness. Because it is so, and in con
tradiction of all preconceived notions, the
human eye can see it without the aid OF
telescope or other instrument. Between
the stars of the Milky Way there are
many little holes in the stellar system
little by comparison, that is to say-9at
one must have telescopes and patience to
find them. One need only cross the line
to the southern hemisph ire and locate
the Southern Cross in order to see the
coal sack.
With the wealth of legendary tale and
fable woven around the northern stars
by the highly gifted races gazing on them
through the ages that are gone, one Is
tempted to speculate what tales would
not nave been constructed around that
fathomless mystery had it appeared
north instead of south of TIE equator.

Hair Cutting Question in Korea.

Owing to the intense dislike felt by
many Koreans at having to cut their
hair, number of men have fed from
Seoul to the country to escape the edict
of the Emperor. The newly appointed
imperial barber seems to have fioated
into the sea of affiuence. for it is said
on very good authority that his majesty
has ordered the payment to him of yen
500. If this is correct, we now under
stand the raison d'etre of the white frock
coat and black silk hat that have lately
amusement. 1t is said that the Koreans
who have had their hair cut are having
a very bad time in the country. The
moment they are seen by any of the, vol
unteers they are seized and an expiana-
ton demanded as to why they cut off the
topknot. If they can prove that they
are either ex-soldis-s or students. they
are released: but if not they are usually
kiiled.--Korea Daily News.

ten the hair up under the brim of the
hat so that no hiatus shall be seen be-
tween the two, says ''Noge.' Few
months have passed since the fashion of
fastening the hair to the hat was begun,
but even in this short time some clever
Frenchman has realized and seized the
possibility of profting by this new inven-
quirements. The pin is of gilt and
thin, one side being exactly similar to
any other waved hair pin and the other,
only half its length, very sharply pointed
and straight. The latter pins the hair to
the hat and the former slips through
the carefully waved locks to life them
into proper position.
