PASSING OF PICTAIl
STIRS ALL CHINESE
Many Orientals Do Not Desire
to Part With Beloved
Equilibrators.
From the Literary Digest.


In Haliburton's "Clockmaker." Sam
Slick informs one Of the unprogressivs
Nova Scotians how he may make his
fortune. The pigtail. or queue. he savs.
has just been abolished in Poland and
central Europe. go and buy up these
queues and sell them to wigmakers
ana coineurs and you will come out
.ich." We learn from the papers that
mis- sage advice Is being followed In
Asia, for China is discarding the
equilibrator. or trailing head append
age. There is some reluctance in car.
'ying out this change although the
queue came into China with the Man
ehu invasion and the establishment of
The Kin or Golden dynasty in the 18th
century. 1t was imposed upon the
subjugated people by their Tartar con-
nuerors as a token of subsection. and
Tor very long time II needed no little
persuasion, Of various sorts, to secure
its adoption. Those who persisted in
putting the hair were notified that the,
nead must go TOO. and pigtails soon
became the fashion. In Fukien, which
png held out against the domination OF
me Manchus, the queue is regularly
hidden away under the folds Of a kind
Of tnrban hat, peculiar to that district.
How seriously China takes the ampu-
iation of what the Spanish bull fight.
.ers call the coleta, which they always
wear, Is shown by the following state
nent In the Japan Weekly Mail:
ION the 18th instant the senate in
Peking devoted two and one half
aours OF It's time to debating petition
20 the throne In favor of cutting the
hair and abandoning the old fashioned
inese costume. Mr.. Lu, delegate.
rom Human, supported the affirmative
IN a vigorous speech which derived
point from the fact that he offered in
ais own person an exar1ple of the
changes he advocated. The negative
iide was taken by Mr.. Yang, Of Kang-
III. A vehement debate en-
iued. 1t is said to have been the most
animated that had taken place since
the convention OF the serate, though
n view Of the result of the voting IL
Is difficult to understand how the OBJ
position managed to keep the question
inder discussion during two and one
half hours, for when ballot was
taken, out of 1876 present, 103 voted for
The petition and only % against II, four
members abstaining. 1t Is said that
the opposition Is confined to Q few old
fashioned folk and representatives of
The rustic elements Of the population.
1T appears, however, that this in
tefesting question is likely to provoke
the morning Of the 10th, when the
senate's action on the preceding day
came UP for discussion by the council
Of state, the venerable Prince Ching de-
clared himself to,ally opposed to the
projected change, and asked that Il

HEREDITv

It can be minimized or entirely over

back, ard once when visited him he
said: II you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.

II was not SO strong a believer In
heredity as he was, however, and, be-

National forest is not protected, FOL
the National forest officers are uni.
formly instructed to see that che
game laws of the various states are
observed on their forests, in so fan
as they can do this in justice to their
other duties. Many of the forest Of
ficers are regularly appointed Depu-
ty State Game Wardens, and it is
the policy of the Department of Ag-
riculture to encourage their acting
in this capacity when they can dc
so without prejudice to their work
as forest officers, They are not,
however, expected to go off the For
ests in order to enforce the game
laws of the state, nor can they make
enforcement of game laws their prin-
cipal occupation. The work of a. for
est officer in looking after Uncle
Sans affairs generally insures his
being a pretty busy man, and what
he does in enforcing game laws can
only be incidental to selling timber,
protecting the forest from fires,
looking after grazing matters, and
responding to the various other calls
which use of the forests by the pub
lie involves.
Ordinarily, game matters pertain
to the states, and not to the National
government. The state prescribes
when and under what condition
game may be killed. If it desires to
prohibit the killing of game in GER
tain parts of the state, in order that
the game may breed there, and these
parts of the state are within the Ma
tional forest, the government oper-
ates with the state to carry out the
law. Such cooperation may require
the closing of fixed areas of the Ma
tional Forest to grazing, for when
big game becomes plentiful it must
have sufficient food supply left on
the range to carry it through the
winter, or it will succumb for lack
of sustenance. If the range is full
ly utilized by cattle and sheep dur.
ing the summer, elk and deer will
