es The treasured golden hair which
ladies of the theatrical profession so often
covet comes from Germany and Sweden;
while Hungary and Italy send black
tresses to supplement the scanty locks OF
the society 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 only used
for the purpose Of pads.
The buying and selling are conducted
chiefly at fairs, although much bargaining
is done privately in the villages. The
agent or cutter takes up his quarters and
displays a highly 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 payment for their
tresses may receive piece of cloth or a
gaudy petticoat worth, perhaps. about
two or three shillings in English money

HEADS FOR SALE.
Huge Prices Paid to Peasant Girls
for Their Lovely Locks.

From Pearsons Weekly.
The hair with which sodety women
supplement their own can scarcely be
termed false for the simple reason that
it comes from the heads of other women.
The most famous hair fair in the world
is held annually at Limoges, in Brittany,
when the old-fashioned market 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 that they can
get better hair from the Limoges market
than from any other in the world.
However, different countries have diff
ferent specialities in hair, and the agents

These remarkable figures concerning

fields are provided by Sir Lionel Phil
lips, one of the shrewdest and most
successful of the giants of the gold
mining industry, and equally interest
ing Is the story which he unfOlded dur
ing q lecture recently, of how gold
came to be deposited in the Rand, or
witwatersrand, to give it its proper
geographical name.
Many years ago Witwatersrand was
really an inland sea inclosed by noun
by the action of the water, and rocks
deposited to a depth Of over four ana
a half miles. After this a volcanic up
heavaI took place, dispensing the sea
and breaking up the country into frag-
ments.
"At the time this upheaval took
place." said Sir Lionel, 1.-The whole OF
the earth's surface was cracked, ana
through these cracks came up piutonlc

state. These rocks brought up soiu-
lions of vapors containing the gold
No doubt these vapors were cnemcaiy
associated when they came up, possibly
with chlorine The chlorine would
cling to the gold, but as it has a great
err affinity for iron it leaves the soia
and clings to the iron. and that de-
posits the gold free in the rock

our DAILY BREAD.
II.-In Many Lands.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Bread is a staple article of food in
almost every land. Even the savage
knows that he cannot subsist on meat
alone. and some form OF bread must be
provided to satisfy his hunger. The far
ther he is removed from civilization the
cruder will be the methods by which this
daily bread is provided to him. His bread
is perhaps his only manufactured article
OF food, and in this manufacture some
crude process OF milling, as we'll as of
mixing and baking. takes place.
In Lapland the fur-clad natives grind
their scanty oats with the inner bark of
the pine tree. The meal thus obtained
is mixed with water and nodded into
fiat cakes and baked over fire. In
kamchatka sometimes oats are not OBJ
tainable. so the women pound up pine or
birch bark either separately or together.
and make this bark powder into their
native bread food. The Icelander' is a

buildings made from it are palatable to
most northern travellers. traveller in
Siberia pronounces the native bread of
that country THE hardest hard tack in
the world IT is made without yeast or
salt and is nodded into small white
rings. 1t is first steamed and then baked
lightly. 1t is not only hard. and tough
as well, but il seems to possess high
degree of nutritive value
The Siberian bread is used for several
other purposes besides food. The engi-
neers who constructed the Siberian rail-
road were first to note it's adaptability.
The natives drop the rings into hot tai
low. and this tallow bread was used for
soup or eaten with tea for months. The
engineers discovered that these tallow
soaked bread rings could be used for
boiling coffee or for impromptu candles.
Six or eight holes would be bored into

emitting heat and light enough to make
small tent comfortable and at the same
time boil water for tea or coffee. There
would be a strong odor of toasting bread,
which was vastly preferable to the smoke
of a small fire inside of tent. The ST.
berian merchants also use the ringed
bread as a counting apparatus for cal
culating small sums. The strings are
suspended above the counter. ten bread
rings strung on each. The top line rep
resents rubes and the two lower ones

The kaiser supervises the palace cuisine
personally and frequently surprises his
chefs by descending to the kitchen ana
giving instructions as to how he likes
a particular dish to be cooked. One day
at lunch he asked for a second helping
of carp cooked in beer, and was told the
supply was exhausted. Half in jest ana
half in earnest, the emperor-turning 10

are others in the kaisers household who
share his liking for carp dressed in beer.

HEARINGS TO CLOSE
SATURDAY, OCT. Is

WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-Arguments
supporting the administration currency
bill were presented to the senate banking
committee today by George II Shibley, d.
rector OF the bureau of political research.
Shlbley attacked American universities
for the character of their economic In
struction. He declared that professors or
economics, with the exception OF one or
two colleges, dared not take any other
view of currency and financial affairs
than that favored by the creditor or
plutocratic class"
A tacit understanding has been reached
to close hearings Saturday, October Is.
Mr., Shibley contended that currency
legislation should provide means for
making stable the purchasing power OF
money by controlling the volume OF
money. He criticised the twelve regional
reserve banks plan and recommended the
elimination OF the reserve system,
"The progressive Democratic leaders in
banking and currency" he said, "are In
danger OF being misled into taking over
the plan OF Aldrich to form giant mo-
nopoly OF the 1900 national banks by
forcing them all to come In or give up
their charters. This, however, Is Il mis-
understanding. Had the real facts been
clearly understood. the reserve bank plan
would have been promptly rejected. The
other propositions by the Democratic
leaders, for government paper currency
and government control OF the interest
rate and price level. are squarely in the
peoples behalf and in opposition TO the
trustocrats, and the wise course to fol-
low is TO quietly drop the proposal for
the reserve banks.

in the United States, declared that un-
less the Glass BILL or federal reserve act

today, 'very. few country banks, either

VIENNA, Oct. 6.-The destruction

Of Styria, Austria, by pack OF
wolves, hyenas and lions, which escaped
from a mena gerie last month, has been
so enormous that the Austrian govern

The action Of the government was
taken on the petition of number of
terrified Syrian mountaineers, who ap-
pealed personally to Emperor Francis
Joseph for assistance. His majesty di-
rected the ministry Of the interior to
report TO him personally on the best
way of exterminating the animals. The
government immediately offered re-
