Chinese Revolution
Makes the Hair Fly

New Nork, Nov. /. = The Chinese
revolution is making the hair fly
literally so.
The steamship, Sikh, owned by w.
T. Tweddell 6 Co., has just arrived
at the American docks terminal, sta
ten Island, from Asiatic ports with an
unusually large cargo of human hair
There are 1S6 cases full of Chinese
queues in the hold Of the Sikh. And
in each case there are 1000 queues.
Ergo, $4,000 Chinese are represent
ed in the cargo.
The queues, as everybody knows,
are made into puffs, rats and all 9TH
er funny shaped arrangements which
women wear on their heads.
The progressive Chinese-the ones
who are rebelling against the present
Manchu dynasty are cutting off their
queues as a protest against the. con
servative spirit which has ruled
there for so long. This is being done
because it is the badge of Chinese
servitude to the Manchu dynasty. The
conservatives are cutting off their
queues in despair.
The result is that thousands and
thousands Of queues in excess Of the
usual output are coming on to the
hair market
