FALSE HAIR
The GREAT BULK OF ITCOMES FROM
THE CHINESE DEAD.

A new and unfamiliar trade. which
springs from the great and increasing
demand by womenSor false hair, has
invaded the tenements of the Jewish
East Side, New York, in the last two
years. This is the manufacture OF
human hair out of coarse black Chin
csc hair imported from the East.
The hair, according to one of the
United States consular reports from
Hongkong, is brought to HOngkong
from the interior. 1t is either sold
through Hongkong export houses to
New York dealers, or bought by pur-
chasing agents from New York.
These large firms in New York sell
the Chinese hair at So. pound to
small tenement manufacturers, who
in turn after its transformation
into soft yellow or brown switches,
resell to the large firms for SC. or IS.
pound. This hair is then distribute
ed to the retail trade-hairdressers,
department stores etc. An ordinary
switch weighing three ounces sells
for 81. to SIC. at retail.
The hair is supposed to be taken
from the heads ofthe dead: M & OF
it retains its roots, and seems to Saye
been pulled out, not cut of. Living
Cinnamon are, of course, particularly
averse to parting with their pistails.
Stories are current of people who have
caught leprosy or bad skin diseases
from the infected switches. In on,
authenticated case of leprosy in
Brooklyn the doctor asserts that the
disease was caused from false hair.
Although it is very difficult to disinfec.
hair adequately, meteorological ex-
pcrts say that it is unlikely that lep-
rosy is beng brought from China in
in this way. There is a fair chance,
however, that plague germs may be
50 transmitted, since in China the
many bodies of all classes are thrown
into the street and there riaed by the
dress of the population.-Mcclure'

". VA. SCHOOL.
FOR DEAF AND BLIND AT ROMNEY A
C0MENDABLE INSTITUTION.

The first object of this school is to
fit every pupil, who comes here, to
make an honest living, either with
his hands or his head, in spite of the
handicap of deafness or blindness.
While here, Just as good care is
tlken of the children, as they would
receive in their own homes. Their
railroad fare. to and from home, is
paid, If necessary. certain amount
of clothing is furnished each child,
which is paid for by the county, from
which he comes.
Constant religious and moral in
struction of non-sectarian nature,
is given and every effort is made to
impress the pupils with the impor-
lance of honesty and uprightness in
their daily lives. Church going for
the blind pupils is encouraged in every
way possible, though not made COM
puIsory.
All deaf pupils who show any
ability to do SO will be taught TO talk
and to read the lips. A course of
instructions, will be given to the
Blind pupils, which will prepare them
passingt the public school teachers
examinations, for teaching in the
public schools.
We teach the following trades to
Deaf: Tailoring, Printing, Baking,
carpentering shoe and harnes making
and to the blind: Broom making,
mattress masking, and We hope by
another year greatly to increase the
efficiency of our shops, and to add
one or two more industries to the
Blind Department. Also by another
year we shall make the instruction in
sewing much more thorough, includ-
ing embroidering, knitting and GRO
chetting for both the blind and deaf
girls.
The use of tobacco is positively
forbidden in this school, and pupils
who are so given to this habit, as to
be unable to break themselves, will
have to be sent home.
We realways glad to see and
meet the pupils parents, but they
can not be boarded at the school.
Training of the muscles will be
given to the pupils to develop their
strength and yigor of mind and body.
Means for healthy and pleasant games
and exercises for the blind children
will be devised.
1t shall be our effort to give all our
pupils such household duties as they
should perform, in well regulated
home. The boys make their beds,
sweep and scrub their dormitories,
and clean the yards and the girls
will wash the dishes. set the tables,
do ironing once week, and we hope
soon to give regular instructions in
cooking, but We may not be able to
do this by next session.
Pupils and other persons will con-
fer favor upon me, and lasting
benefit, upon any deaf or blind child,
whom they may know, by sending
to me the address of the parents of
ofsuch children. and by doing 50 at
once-because our accommodations
are limited and delay may cost the
child years education.
