for cotton seed oil was quiet and fea-

GIRLS SELL THEIR HAIR

The false hair with which society
women supplant their own can scarce
ly be termed false, for the simple rea-
son that it comes from the heads of
other women, says Pearson's Weekly.
The most famous hair fair in the
world is held annually in Limoges. in
Brittany, when the old-fashioned mar
ket place is filled with young peasant
girls. with their long hair trailing in
gorgeous waves over their shoulders.
They stand demurely while dealers
barter for their beautiful tresses.
Hairdressers say they can get better
hair from the Limoges market than
from any other in the world.
However, different countries nave
different specialties in hair, and the
agents scour them all in search OF
suitable tresses. The treasured golden
hair which ladies of the theatrlcal
profession so often covet comes from
Germany and Sweden, while Hungary
and Italy send black tresses TO sup
niement the scanty locks of the so
cietv dame. Some of the latter come
from the Far East, but as Chinese
and Japanese hair is of a somewhat
coarse texture. it is generally used
only for the purpose of pads.
The buying and selling are con-
Quoted chiefly at fairs, although much

To Save Stone Of Prophecy

AS Senator Thomas II. Benton stood
on a high bluff opposite Scarritt
Point, Kansas City, in 1852, he ut
tered this prophecy, since become ia
nous because of its f6lilment.
Here where these rocky bluffs meet
and turn aside the sweeping current
of this mighty river; here where the
Missouri, after pursuing her southern
course for nearly 1000 miles, turns
eastward to meet the Mississippi, a
great manufacturing and commercial
community will congregate and less
than generation will see a great
city"
The stone on. which Benton stood
when he uttered his prediction con-
corning the future greatness OF
Kansas City is to be taken from its
resting place in the Missouri river
bluffs and placed near the south en-
trance Of the new Union station.
This work has been undertaken by
the Elizabeth Benton Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, named in honor Of the wife of
the pioneer statesman with the pro-
phetic powers At the meeting of the

WHAT MISSOURI MEANS

that lived near the river when the
first explorers came. On Jo1iets map
II is spelled 'Mess-S-ri,' or substi-
tuting the French equivalent of 49,
sMess-ou-ri.' Marquette's may, pub
lished in 1851, spells it -miss-ou-ri'
both of which spellings the bureau Of
ethnology says in q report probably
are corruptions of the original siouan
name by the Illinois Indians adding
their characteristic Algonquin prefix.
Houck, the historian, inclines to that
view.
Long says Missouri is a corrup-
ton of 'Ne-o- ta-cha,' or 'Ne-o-ge-he,'
which meant those who build a town
at the entrance of a river MCGEE
saws that the exact meaning of Mis-
souri, or 'Ni-u-t -chi (Long's Ne-o-
ta-cha) is uncertain, but probably re-
fers to the drowning of persons in n
stream and may possibly be a corrup-
ton of the word 'Ni-shu- dgc,' mean
ing smoky water
"Thats about all the definite in
formation we have about the meaning
of the word. And now, while Pm
talking, ] might as we'll tell you some
of the different ways Missouri has
been spelled since white men visited
our State.
Joliet as I said. spells 1t Mess
ou-rl, and marquette 'ou-mlss-ou-
ri Franquelin's map has it Mis-
sourits' and 'Emismourettes." Joutel,
writing in 1886, was the first TO spell
the word as we do now.
Bernard de la Harpe. Bourgmont
and Du Tisne varied their writings
with 'Missoury.' or 'Missourys,' and
'Missourie.' English writer's had it
'Missouria' and 'Missourite.' The
Spanish, Ulloa Galvez and others,
used a simpled form, spelling it Mis-
surf, 'Misuri,' Misonry' and 'Misury.'
Tonty spelled the word 'Missounta
speaks of The River of the Massor-
ties and Carver in his travels pub
lished in 1873 says 'Missorie.'
so, you see, Missouri has had
quite an eventful career before ar
irving at its present perfection"

The cows that originally planned
broadway in New York city did so
regardless of the compass. They had
no idea of making it a street called
straight. And thereby hangs a tale.
At this late date their misdeeds IN

to which way Broadway runs in the

can best understand by me reading a
paragraph from his writings. He
says:

that it is a corruption. My informant

from It. BY abhreviating tho first
word "Minnay' of its last four letters
and afterward the others. according
to the French, the word "Mi-sho-ray'
is produced. 1t is not improbable
that such is the origin of the word
Missouri
"There is other evidence that the
Indians called the Missouri muddy
water. In 1712 man named Marest
wrote that it was called 'Pelxitanou,
or muddy water But most authori-
ties now believe Missouri is a COR
ruption of the name of the Indians

ton in the tropics, at least in the
American hemisphere, and l think
anywhere in the world. 1t was a
novel undertaking. We were told by
Mr. Aspinwall that he wanted us to
make the shortest survey possible.
We'll. we went to the Panama
Isthmus. 1t was perilous under
taking. There were malarial fever,
poisonous insects and serpents, ugly
Indians and a frightful climate.
When we had gotten about half
through our survey ! said one day to
my companions that the time would
come when this railroad would be
thing of the past, for as certain as the
sun rose a ship canal would be cut
across the Panama Isthmus and that
was certain that I knew exactly
where the survey for this canal would
be. I added that ! hoped / would
live long enough to take part in the
survey so that | could say that
helped run the railroad line across the
sthmus and helped survey the route
for the canal.
WELL" continued General Serrell,
81 have not had a share in the survey
which the French engineers made for
the Panama Canal. But I did later
participate in the survey for a canal
south of the Panama Canal, or rather
east, for the isthmus turns east and
west, SO that | have a part of my
wish gratitied. 7 presume il I had
not taken part in the survey for the
Panama railroad sixty years ago 7
should have given very little thought
to the construction of the ship canal
across the isthmus."

Harvest Year for Education

From no less an authority than c.
A. Prosser, secretary of the National
Society for the Promotion of Educa-
ton, the statement is made that the
years of 1912 and 1913 have been
harvest time for the cause of educa-
tion in the United States More adj
vancement has been made in this pc
Rod than in any previous five years
since the beginning of the movement
on this side of the water!
In Pennsylvania the Legislature
passed the Showalter bill, the same
being signed by the Governor. This
bill provides for methods of admins
tration of industrial, agricultural and
household arts schools, in separate
schools or departments of high
schools if they are already established,
or for part-time schools for the boys
and girls who are to benefit by this
training and are already employed.
These employed boys and girls may
receive their further education either
during the day or in what is known
as continuation schools"
Indianas new vocational aid law is
of much the same nature as the one
passed in our own State. In fact, all
of the recently passed acts in the sew
eral States have been built, generally
speaking, on the same fundamental
principles. with the one object in view,
that to afford the child the oppor-
tunity to reach the highest point of
efficiency of which he or she may be
capable, irrespective of the fact that
the boy or girl may have left school
and is actually engaged in earning his
or her own living.
Wisconsin passed law on the first
of January, 1912, which required that
all children between fourteen and six
teen years, who had not graduated
from the elementary school. must at
tend part-time and continuation
schools and courses not less than five
not more than eight hours per
week.
New Jersey has created a State
system of vocational education. The
work is to be administered by the
State and the local boards of educa-
ton, and may be carried on in either

bargaining is done privately in the
villages. The agent or cutter takes
up his quarters and displays a high
~ colored handkerchief tied to a
walking stick or fastened from one
window to another.
Women who are willing to sell
their hair are thus acquainted with
the agents whereabouts, and as pay
ment for the tresses may receive q
piece of cloth or a gaudy petticoat
worth, perhaps. about two or three
shillings in English money. And the
agent would get anything between
800 and s200-according to color, tex
ture and general beauty-for a pound
of hair thus obtained.
About a hundred years ago large
quantities of hair came from Ireland
Kildare and adjoining counties sup
plying fair and auburn locks, while
from the south came the raven tress-
es for which the daughters of Erin
are SO justly admired.
The usual price for a good crop was
10 shillings, but now the girls wear
hats instead of bonnets which hide
the back of their heads, and although
occasionally a peddler may induce
a colleen to part with her hair ir
exchange for a few trinkets, prac-
tically the trade in Irish hair is dead
