Human Hair in Commerce.

Human hair Is not unimportant
article of commerce, and the annual
harvest Of hair is as regular and
| scarcely less sure than that of wheat
The light hair is almost exclusively
German product, and it is collected
by the agents of Dutch company.
Really golden hair is so highly priced
that dealers produce their stock for
the inspection of favored customers
only. Most of the dark brown hair
comes from France. Black hair comes
chiefly from Brittany and the south of
France, where it is annually collected
by the agents of Partisan houses. The
price paid for each head of hair ranges
from 20 cents to ST., according to its
weight and beauty, the weight seldom
rising above one pound, or falling be
low twelve ounces.
The itinerant dealers in human hair
are always provided with an extensive
assortment Of ribbons, laces, and
cheap jewelry, with which they make
their purchases as frequently as with
money. The hair thus obtained is
transmitted to the wholesale houses,
where it is dressed, sorted, and sold to
the hairworkers in the larger towns
at about 2 dollars per pound. Very
choice heads, however, may be sold
for ten, twenty, or even fifty dollars,
the retail dealer eventually receiving
500 or more for it.
Dealers in human hair become as
tonishing expert, and can usually tell
at glance, or at least by smelling,
whether the particular head Of hair
originated in France, Germany, Eng
land, Ireland, or Scotland. IN. Y.

one end, measure off the rows, mark
ing each with a stake on which is
written the name Of the vegetable
with it's succession. For this purpose
recommend the painted stakes,
which can be had for less than fifty
cents a hundred. Pencil marks will
not rub off them, and if the gardener
is careful they will last for several
years. On the implanted stakes the
pencil marks are erased by the rain
and constant handling.
"Such preparations as these save a
lot of work and worry. One of my
rules is never to crowd. Too much
room is better than not enough.
People often tell me that their lots
are not large enough to plant. show
them a garden of the same size or
smaller, and can always point out that
not vegetable in it Is planted closer

Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna appeals to the cultured and the well-informed and the healthy because its component parts are simple and whole some and because it acts with out disturbing the natural func- tions, as it is wholly free from every objectionable quality or substance. In its production a pleasant and refreshing syrup of the figs of California is unit ed with the laxative and car minative properties of certain plants known to act most bene- fcially, on the human system. when its gentle cleansing is de- sired.

INDIANS AND NORMALS
 PLAY BALL TODAY
it Is the Last Game m The Repub- licsn Cup Series Between These Two Schools.

This afternoon the Indians and the Norrnaliles from Tempe come together at the Indian School grounds for their last game in The Republican Cup series. The first game was played at the Normal grounds and resulted in a victory for the Nurmais by margin "f one score. Since that time the Indian team has been strengthened. until no one has any 1 hesitancy in saying that they haze the fastest field in the league Mpr- alus. the new pitcher for the Indians. has not pitched an entire league game this season. although outside parties have said from what they have seen of his work that he K d better slab artist than Big Chief Kill He will go in to pitch the game this afternoon
 Although the Indians. hy the loss of last Saturdays game to the High School have lost all chance tp win the cup, the Normal is an old cu"my. and if they can spoil the chances of that same enemy for the cup. they in Ch"m to do it
  have developed in the last few weeks of practice is fine base running. Many fans at last Saturdays game said that the base running of the Indians and the spectacular work of their outfield was well worth the price of admission. Every team in the league knows that when playing with tn" Indians the game is not over until the last man is out. for time and again the willy Redskins have sprung surprises on opponents who thought they already had them beaten.
 The Indian team is not playing their coach. and it is thought by some nf the fans who have been following the league games that the Indians might make short work of any other team in the league composed of stu dents only. It has happened several times that teams have only saved their bacon from the Indians by the coolness of old heads that have been playing baseball since the days of old Pop" Anson.
 Anyway, it is going to be a good game
