DRAMA MADE TO ORDER

A startling scene was witnessed the
other day by crowd at the bathing
pond at Whips Cross In Epping For
est. Eng. A nurse who was carrying
baby was stopped by a lady. who
appeared to lay claim to the child. A
fierce altercation which ensued was
suddenly ended by the nurse taking
the baby in her arms and leaping into
the deepest part of the pond. The
other woman screamed and ran away,
pursued by policeman. who brought
her back in custody. Meanwhile by
stander had courageously jumped into
the water and rescued the nurse;- and
a fine bulldog, which suddenly ap-
peared from nowhere In particular,

cidence a cinematograph man was on
the spot and secured a film of the en-
tire incident-after which the drenched
actors. including the property baby, all

CALAIS AND ITS LIGHTHOUSE

a French town. The Place d'Armes

a lighthouse by the magnificent one

stood under it that night. The revolv-
ing spokes of light cast away into
filmy space in all directions looked
like the ribs of huge umbrella being
turned by the white handle, which was
the lighthouse tower. So tall is this
that it's revolving light can be seen
from a distance of twenty miles at

MYSTERY OF WOMAN'S HAIR

The British Medical Journal quotes
an interesting account by Mr.. Frances
Trollope of a hair market" in Brit
tany. He states that in various parts
of the motley crowd there were three
or four different purchasers Of this
commodity. who travel the country for
the purpose of attending the fairs and
buying the tresses of the peasant
girls.
They have particularly fine hair,
and frequently in the greatest abun-
dance. There seemed to be no diff
Guilty in finding possessors of beauti-
full heads of hair perfectly willing TO
sell. I'VE saw several girls sheared
one after the other, like sheep, and
as many more standing ready for the
shears, with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists. No
doubt the reason of the Indifference to
their tresses on the part of the fair
Bretonnes to be found in the invari-
able mode which covers every head
from childhood upward with close
caps, which entirely prevents any part
of the hair from being seen. and, of
course, as totally conceals the want
of It. The money given for the hair
is about 20 sous, or else a gaudy cot

profits by their trip through the coun-

COFFIN FOR A PET MONKEY

her pet Java monkey, which died a

Whether the pumpkin imitation Of the
marsh light originated among the peas
ants Of Italy or The negroes of our
own southern states, is still a mooted
question. At first they were all sor-
rowful faces, befitting the counterpart
of the soul that is suffering the conse-
quences of a wicked life. But once
upon time an embryo sculptor made
a mistake in the carving of a pumpkin
up instead of down, and the effect
was so jolly and comical that all who
saw this spirit came to the conclusion
that either the sins had been forgiven
or the gate to purgatory had been
slammed in his face and he need not
