HUMAN HAIR NETS.

The annual sale Of nets of human
hair, according to the report of the
American consul at Kehl, is estimated
at 100000
Hair-nets are made almost wholly
in the houses OF Alsatian and Austrian
peasants; the peculiar skill required
to net hair has become in part heredi-
fary.
The children begin first to tie the
hairs together. end to end. to make
one long hair. Then, with only a
round piece of wood about six inches

much the same way that fish nets or
hammocks are made Only tying a
single hair is more delicate and Diff

MANY GOOD WINTER SALADS
Even Though Fresh Vegetables Are
Not Available, Numerous Substi-
tutes May Be Found.

Salads should always form an inn
portant part of the family bill Of fare.
In winter as we'll as summer. or
course, in summer the fresh, crisp
vegetables which are best for salads
are more easily obtainable. But there
Is one good old standby we have with
us always, and that is cabbage. Cab
bage salad in the form of cold slaw
can be eaten by almost any one, and
is easily digested, IL carefully made.
The cabbage should. first of all, be
crisp and cold; then it should be fine-
ly shredded and dressed with a plain,
mild dressing.
Cooked vegetables also make accept
able salads, especially when used in
combination with raw ones like celery
Or lettuce. Vegetables left over from
the preceding meal, as string beans,
peas, tomatoes, beets, ETC., are deli
cious in salads, when carefully pre-
pared.

SOME RED TAPE IN VIENNA

A well-known Vienna lawyer went
out to post letter. He was wearing
a large signet ring on the little finger
of his right hand, and as he pushed
the letter through the slit of the letter
box this caught and held his hand
fast. All efforts to release himself
proved fruitless. Within ten minutes
the street was blocked by an enor-
nous crowd and he was the center of
q storm of chaff. The police had to
come to the rescue to keep the people
back, but they could do nothing to re-
lease the prisoner. Not even the po-
lice dared meddle with a letter-box.
1t was not until authority had been
obtained from the head postoffce that
workmen were allowed to unscrew
the box and take it to pieces and SO
release the unfortunate lawyer.

SUCCESSFUL COMIC OPERA REVOLT

By one of the most curious turns
of fortunes wheel, comic opera re-

and the man who lately was at the
mercy of Madero substantially be-
came Maderos conqueror and ths
new master of Mexico.
This man is Colonel Felix Diaz,
the favorite nephew of the banished
dictator, and as it now seems,
leader of Porifiro Diaz's daring and
ability. A little more than three
months ago Colonel Diaz raised the
banner of insurrection in Vera Cruz
against Madero, but was overwhelmed
and captured with hardly shot fired.
Tried for treason, found guilty and
condemned to death, Colonel Diaz
was saved only by the clemency of
President Madero, who commuted
the death sentence to Imprisonment
in the military fortress of San Juan
de Ullva at Vera Cruz.
The fact is the Diaz revolution of
October was not a fizzle. and 1t did
