OUR TROPICAL TRADE.

Among the many curious things to be
found on the inward manifests of steam
ers trading between New York and Latin
American countries are deer skins, OF
which many thousands are brought to
this country annually.
The deer skins thus imported are gath
cred in Mexico and Central America and
in the northern countries of South Amer
lea, including Brazil. In these countries,
where deer abound, there are many ma
tives who make living collecting deer
hides, which they bring by muleback or
foot to the various places where the i'm
pOrterS' agents are found. The supply is
still large, but with continued killing the
deer in these countries are less plentiful
than they were.
Deer skins are shipped dry in bundles OF
a hundred each. They are tanned in this
country and used here in the manufac-
ture of light and medium weight gloves
for men and women.
Boar skins come from Mexico and the
hide of the Mexican peccary, with fur or
bristles' of pepper and salt mixture in
color, the beast being a savage+ooking
animal alive. Like deer skins. boar hides
are shipped dry. The boar skin makes a.
heavier leather than deer skin and Is
used for glove trimmings.
Goat skins in large numbers are i'm
ported from the various Lattn-American
including the West Indies; but
the great sources of the worlds supply
of goat skins are china, Russia, and the
East Indies in the order named. From
those countries there are imported into
the United States annually millions Of
goat skins, which are made into leather,
80 per cent of which is used in the manu-
facture of shoes. Goat skins are shipped
principally dry.
From the countries to the south of-the
United States are brought annually some
thousands of alligator hides, mostly from
Mexico and the United States of Colom-
bia. with some from Ecuador. These al
ligators are captured by shooting or are
speared from boats. Alligator hides are
shipped wet, salted- If they were once
dried they never could be softened suf-
fciently to be made into leather.
To be kept in perfect condition in the
hot countries the alligator must be skin
ned and the hide salted right away. AL
Iigator hides are shipped in packages Of
The supply is still suffi-
cient. but in the countries from which
he hides are now mainly brought aIli-
gators are diminishing in number. There
are too many hunters and too many
1oung alligators are taken.
Formerly some alligator leather was
lsed for shoes and boots. but now It Is
Ised chiefly in the manufacture OF hand
,ags and suit cases.
Occasionally there are brought here a
ew manatee, or sea COW, hides. which
ome from Mexico These hides are
hipped wet. salted. The manatee hide
ans into very thick leather. cheaper
han walrus leather. but used like II for
he making of buffiing wheels for polish
ng purposes.
From Mexico also come a few tiger
ub skins, which are tanned and made
lp into rugs.

The false-hair business. owing to the
modern fashions, has become wonderfully
prosperous. AS styles now run in dress
ing hair, even those blessed by nature
with an abundance Of If must resort to
some manner Of falsifying. Indeed, the
! international hair market has never flucs
tuated more than Of late, and the busi-
ness is passing through one OF its most
thriving periods
An order for hair in Amsterdam, the
great international jobbing center for
hair. is as promptly and accurately filed
as an order for groceries, dry goods. or
other articles of daily use. At every fac
tory q shop is attached where the hair
dressers come with their orders and
choose from the various assortments for
their patrons. All kinds in all possible
shades and colors are then matched.
Any kind of hair is readily matched,
usually at a much more reasonable rate
than in the United States, and with
degree of exactness unknown elsewhere
The only requirement for perfect match
Is lock of the kind Of hair desired.
Ordinary Hair Expensive.
Ordinary hair is expensive. There are
plenty of cheap kinds, mere limitations,
but real hair of flrst-rate quality is
scarce and comparatively dear. 1t runs

retailers

Since the annexation os Korea by Japan
a large number of Koreans have cut Off
their topknots and many are taking them
across the Yalu River to sell at Antung,
China In consequence of this increased
supply of human hair, the price has fallen
considerably locally. While the local price
for the cheapest quality of Korean hair
was formerly 20 cents Omitted States cur

to about L. cents per ounce, while the best
quality is now selling for about 20 cents.
The price OF Korean hair at Antung is
higher than it is in Korea, ow-
ing to the Chinese import duty and its
comparative scarcity. The Koreans how
ever, may evade the Chinese customs
duty by crossing the frontier before hav-
ing their topknots cut of.
A semi-officiaI japanese publication has
state that about 800. 600 Koreans
have amputated their topknots "in con-
nection with the annexation" It further
stated that the stimulus thus given to
the .onsorial art has been such that over
ten barber shops have been opened in one

The Work of Preparation.
AS regards the preparation of hair the
INDUSTRY is pretty well developed, so far
as the assortment and preparation can
be scientifically done. The chemical
treatment is one of the most important
in the industry. Through a chemical
process the masses of hair knots, brought
from all parts of the world, are worked
into shape and arranged into styles and
grades. The ends and the roots must
be- untangled and laid uniformly, which
is accomplished in less than five minutes
by chemical bath. The hair Is also

WHY WE FORGET NAMES.

Many persons are especially forgetful
with regard to names. They are embar-
rassed to find that they cannot on the
spur of the moment recall the name OF
an acquaintance, or that of some familiar
object, although, in other respects. their
memory is not treacherous. These de-
fects have been explained in this wise:
The more concrete the idea the more
readily Is the word used TO designate 1t
forgotten when the memory fails We
easily represent persons and things to
ourselves without their names. More alb
stract conceptions. on the contrary, are
attained only with the aid of words,
which alone give them their exact shape
In our minds. Hence verbs, adjectives,
pronouns, adverbs, propositions, and con-
functions are more intimately related to
thought than nouns are. and can be re-
membered when nouns or names slip
from the mind

system affords over the old, as the

provisions Of the law that it's readers

gladly print such objections as may
