False Hair.

False hair was first regularly worn
In England by Queen Elizabeth. who
had upward Of fifty wigs of different
kinds for her private use. After her
death a few women adopted the
French fashion Of wearing wigs. but n
was not until the restoration that
wigs. or. more correctly speaking, peri
wigs, came to be extensively worn by
he sterner sex. These were intro
luced In the court Of Louis XIV
where a natural head OF hair was not
.onsidered sufficiently luxuriant for
he artificial tastes OF the times. The
term ''periwig' is a corruption Of the
French perruque. Wigs were original
ly adopted not as a remedy for bald
ness, but in the interest OF personal
cleanliness. The laws Of ancient Egypt
compelled all males to shave the head
and beard. This explains why turbans
were not worn by the Egyptians. the
bushy artificial hair being regarded as
a sufficient protection against the heat
of the sun. The Romans. on the con-
trary, wore wigs because they were
naturally bald.-St Louis Republic.

Thus traps on this principle may
readily be designed and are obviously
preferable to our rat traps where the
animals are numerous.
In Burma, where the rats are a per
feet pest. they use a jar trap, which is
thus described by a traveller:
The common Pegu Jar I used was
about one and a half or two feet deep
and fourteen or fifteen inches broad.
and hole was punched in the shoulder
Just large enough for rat to enter.
There was about six or seven inches
Of paddy trlce in husk) in the jar,
which was then buried 10 within about
eight inches OF the top. The mouth OF
the jar was then closed with a board
and a stone.
"a quantity OF old timber joists and
straw were IN the clubhouse and no end
Of rat holes everywhere around"
With this contrivance be caught sev,
enty-two rats in one night The rati
can readily enter. but they cannot
climb the smooth sides OF the Jar tc
escape.-London Family Herald.
