HORSE TAILS.
We Import Them From All Over the
World and Also Export Them.

We Import Ihen1 FROM All OVer inc
World and Also Export Them.
An item that seemed odd in the mani
fest of steamer lately arrived from
Japanese and Chinese ports was this
In the list Of her cargo from Tientsin:
Fifty-fve cases OF horse tails.
As matter OF fact, horse tails or
the hair thereof are common article
Of importation into this country from
China and from pretty much every
other country on earth. The American
market gets large quantities Of them
from China, but more from Russia,
and horse tails are imported here from
every other European country and
from South America, from Australia,
from all round the world. On the 9TH
er hand, there are more or less Ameri-
can horse tails exported.
From various causes the supply Of
horse tails, like that Of anything else,
may In one country and another vary
from year to year, and there may be
years when the worlds supply is short
and years when 1t Is plentiful, with
corresponding changes in the range of
prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents n pound, and they have sold
for as much as 81. II stocks are scarce
and high In London and ample at low
err prices here New York importers ship
horse tails TO London. In the contrary
circumstances London importers might
ship horse tails here.
Horsetall hairs are sorted for length
and colors, and they are used either
alone or mixed with other ibers In the
manufacture OF various sorts Of brush
es and mixed with other materials IN
the manufacture OF halrcloth. - New

GIVES WOMEN A CHANCE
Eleven Ladies' Of all Styles Of Beauty
in "HaIf Husband" Company

Eleven Ladies' Of all Styles of Beauty
in "Half a Husband" Company
One of the terrible facts a stage
struck young girl has to face is that
there are FIVE stage-struck females to
one stage-struck male, while the ay-
erage play has seven parts for men to
every three for women. And at that,
there are plenty of men to play the
parts.
When w. ]. Hurlbut first began to
write plays, he started off as II he
had been inspired to remedy all the
evils of the world through the medi-
UNI of the stage. But later just to
prove that he was taking himself less
seriously than most young men with
successful plays of serious nature
to their credit might have done, he
turned around and wrote tripping,
lightsome farce, which he called Half
a Husband" and which John Barry
more and a splendid company will be
seen in at the opera house next Mon
day, March IS.
Yet even in this farce comedy,
young Hurlbut could not forget his
mission as a reformer. The object OF
his crusade, this time. is the condit-
ion of the poor .stage-struck girl and
his method of procedure is most prac-
tical-he made room for women in his
play. Instead of maintaining the old
proportion of seven men TO every
three women, he has introduced five
male characters and eleven female
ones into his list OF dramatic per
sonae. And, with the exception Of
the star-part played by Mr.. Barrymore
the female parts dominate the play.
In this play, at least, women have
their rights, and, apparently in graf
itude therefor, there is no mentor
OF the vote from the rise of the frs
curtain to the fall of the last.
