In the little house in Bloomsbury where ■heaves nf human hair are garnered weak la heavy® Now is the season when the British matron renews her scant locks: when the Adonis ot 90 buys himself another scalp, and the fair maid whose thatch is light padsit out with hair harvested fnem other Before folk go on a holiday they pay a visit to the hairdreseef, and the demand for fringes, bandeaux, invisible coverings, scalpettes, top curls, fancy toupees and semioovered hair stems Waxes great. Bnt the hairdresser does hot always keep these things in stock. He goes to the dealer in human hair, apd thither a Daily Mail representative went—to the second door round the comer down a street be neath the shadow of the grim facade of the highly respectable British museum. A comely Soot, in the prime of life, stood behind the counter. “This lot,” he said, “is known, in the trade ah rag pick ers’combings." It was a large sheaf of hair, black, of coarse texture, about six inches in length. “These tresses,”' he went on, “are the combings of many heads. Paris ragpickers gather them. They are then cleansed, sorted in length and sold at a very cheap price. Theatrical wigs are their final destination. They curl beautifully.” How to keep the hair th cirri is a knotty problem in some boudoirs. And yet it is easily done. Twist the hair tightly round a pipe. Then boil it; afterward bake ft. It will never come uncurled. Italy and. Stance are the fields which supply the English human hair markets. The coarser grades coms fifoxn the former country, from Naples and Palermo and the finer ones from France. Girls in the sun ny land clothe themselves, as did Godiva of old, in their long locks—only they do it in a more conventional manner. When the hair is grown, they attend a fair. Here are merchants of Paris, reafiy to clip and pay cash down. And the girls sell their hair, buy garments, go home, rub in pomatum and start growing another crop. A healthy girl with a vigorous scalp will, grow'two or three marketable crops in the course of a year. Prices range from 10 francs to 40 francs per head of hair. Color purity is the de termining factor. The hair must be the same shade throughout from stem to tip. In Scandinavia and Germany the color varies greatly. The last Wave Will be the yellow of wheat straw, while at its source it is almost ruddy. Such hair tees .no use for the English market. It is sent to America. Human hair is of al! lengths, but the longest grows on corpses. There is no telling which is cut from the living or from' the dead. But from the coffin are gleaned beauty’s loveliest tresses. And the price of them is 12 shillings an ounce. Many ladies visit the little house in Bloomsbury. They shake out their locks and say: “Isn’t it beautiful! What will you give!” And they ask a fabulous price, as if their head carried 10 to 12 pounds of hair instead of 10 to 12 ounces. It is comforting to know that In the matter of hair England still holds her own. Thirty years in the trade show that we are not becoming more bald. The de mand for scalps is even less than formerly. In Germany it is different. Teutons don’t keep their hair on in the way they used to. If nations resemble Samson and their strength lies in their flowing locks, Brit ain in her old age grows no weaker.— London Mail. A Famous Fencing Master. In Bertrand, the old fencing master, who, at the age of 81 has just laid down his foil forever, lovers of the armeblanche have lost a teacher who in his day was un surpassed and who had the honor of founding not merely a school of fencing,. but an epoch in the art he taught. For it was the elder Bertrand who perfected (if he did not originate) that most deadly of all strokes, the riposte, which is a light ninglike reply to the adversary’s attack, delivered so swiftly after the parry that the opponent has not had time to recover from the effort and protect himself. The Italian school has developed out of this a system of “offensive parries,” which combines the guard and the riposte in one movement, and is of very fatal ac curacy with such a weapon as that of Plni. But it was Bertrand who really developed the full beauties of foil fencing, just when dueling had been definitely stopped. Such paradoxes are common in the history of the sword, for it was the invention ot gunpowder and the consequent discard ing of heavy armor that introduced the supremacy of the rapier and the point. The superiority of Bertrand in his early days in Paris was testified in a manner that has distinguished classical preced ence. For every maitre d’armes interro gated on the subject by M. Legouve placed Bertrand second in the list of honor with out a single exception.—St. James Ga zette. Turtles In tfce Bahamas. The shallow seas around the Bahama islands abound with turtles, and turtle shell valued locally at £5,600 was export ed last year from the colony. The edible turtle is known as the “green” one and is also plentiful in these waters. When small ones are caught, they are deposited in large ponds known as “crawls,” where, after having been branded with their owner’s mark, they are left to feed upon a particu lar kind of marine grass until they have attained a marketable size. Turtle meat sells in the local markets at threepence per pound of live weight, and it is probable that an enterprise for the preparation of a concentrated form of turtle soup, such as has recently been established in Jamaica, would prove a profitable undertaking.— London Telegraph. Jack Rabbit and Bulldog. The Emporia (Kan.) Republican tells the following queer story: “An Emporia man heard a disturbance in the night, and on getting up to see what was the matter found his bulldog engaged in a desperate struggle with a jack rabbit. Concluding that it was dangerous to interfere, he went back into the house and shut the door. In a short time the outside struggle ceased, and, looking up, he was surprised to see a jack rabbit looking in over the transom of the front door. In the morn ing he went out and found the bulldog dead in the front yard with marks of rab bit teeth all over hie person, bearing mute testimony to his breve and desperate struggle.” RailrMdiug In Baa* la.. On the new Russian military railway from Europe teAndijan, on the borders of the Chinese empire, a treelike shrub called the sascaoul had to be planted all along the line through the desert to pre vent the rails being covered by sand. For further protection a ribbon of wild oats runs along both sides of the railway. A TALE AMORAL. S Always Propose Beneath a Tree, and ths Bing May Be Tftrewa In. "When I was 20 years old, ” said a vet eran of many dollars, “I was working on a farm in Massachusetts not far from Springfield, where lived a pretty little girl as poor aa I was, ths daughter of a Meth odist minister. One day under the shade of a big tree in the churchyard I told her how mneh there was in my heart and how little there was in my pocket and asked her to marry me. She was 17 and silly, and she consented on the spot. For an hour or more after that we sat under the tree talking over the fair and foolish things that lovers dream, when it occurred to me that an engagement ring was the correct thing for such an occasion, and I began bemoaning the poverty which pre vented my getting one for the dearest hand on earth. It was absolutely true, too, for I really did not have enough money to buy a tin ring, much less the only kind I thought Janie ought to have. “But Janie didn’t care for the ring. She said we ought to thank Providence that we had each other and let the old ring go. She was on the point of saying more, when she stopped suddenly, gave a little scream and pointed to something bright in her greeting to us. At first we were afraid to touch it, hot we soon got over that, and as wo looked it over we wondered where It' had come from, and though we knew that the days of miracles had passed we were both inclined to think it was a bless ing from heaven on our sweet and pure love. “There was no one in the tree to have dropped it as a joke, but as it could not have reached us by any why other than from above we proceeded to search the tree. Nothing could be seen from the ground, and I climbed up, and there over in the fork above us, high up, I found a bird’s nest building and knew that the builders had picked the ring up some where, for VariOuii bits of colored ribbon and rags fluttered about the nest. One of these pieces bf iilk Janie recognized as the trimming of a lady's gown who came to seo her mother, and we decided at onoe that it was right to see if it belonged to the lady. “Thither we went, happy as two chil dren, and Janie went in and I waited out side. Presently she called me in, and When I bad, with many blushes, told the story of the ring on Janie’s finger she kissed her, and said it was now mine to do With as I pleased. She hoped I would not forget those Who had been my friends when I had Do diamonds, and then right there before the lady I had never seen be fore I slipped Che ring on Jante’s finger and, kissed her. As soon as I had done that the lady kissed Janie, and I’ll be shot if didn’t kiss me, too, and as we went out there were tears in her eyes glistening like the diamond on Janie’s finger.”— Washington Star. The Übiquitous German. All that education in its various forms —primary, technical and even physical— can do for the German workman is being done for him. Weak industries receive bounties. Lines of steamers are heavily subsidized to carry Germah exports to all parts of the world. The state railways are authorized to make special rates for the oversea trade. German diplomatic agents abroad exercise pressure in favor of Ger man merchants. German commercial houses are planted in every Important for eign port, and even where they represent foreign firms they keep a benevolent eye upon the produce of their own country. In the conduqt of private undertakings money is not grudged either for practical experiment of Tor research. Manufactur ers submit to sacrifices In order to force an entry into foreign markets and recoup themselves with the aid of protective du ties at home. The whole commercial pol icy of the country is directed toward the encouragement and extension of foreign trade. Such assistance and encouragement, given to a population as laborious and well endowed as the German people, have produced the results which we are begin ning to see. Germans are übiquitous. They have gained a footing In almost ev ery market.—Nineteenth Century. Husbands In Brackets. All the bluestocking sisterhood—the elderly females addicted to bloomers and the spectacled, strong minded advocates of woman’s rights—are performing a mental jig. Hyphenated husbands have become a byword, but it remained for the Ken tucky Federation of Women’s Clubs to dis cover that man’s proper position is in a bracket Hereafter we shall hear not of Mrs. Mary Sullivan-O’Brien, but of Mrs. Mary Sullivan, With an Inconsequent “O’Brien” added at the tail end of the name in small letters and in brackets. The woman who had the honor of sug gesting the bracket aa a sort of scrap bas ket in which to throw the inconvenient appendage of a husband’s name is Mrs. James Leech of Louisville, Ky. Accord ing to her own convictions, Mrs. Leech’s name should be recorded Mrs. Maria Smith —[Leech]. The resolution read as follows: “That it shall hereafter be the custom to enroll all women under their own full names, and in cases of married women with their husband’s names in brackets. ” —New York World.

HE WILL ENLIST NEXT TIME. A May at Homo Otoervc* the Luck eC a Maa Who Was a Vol ante* r. “If there is ever another war, I am go ing to enlist, regardless of the cause." This was the oontinustiou of a dinner talk at a club in this ottj. The speaker proceeded: “The other day I saw Mrs. Blank try ing to hail the driver of aa ice wagon by yelling at him. I was duinfounded, be muse the is generally a helpless creature, and I never heard of her interesting her self Ln any of the domestic duties of her bouse. I mentioned the unusual occur rence to my wife at dinner, and she Said she thought it was very commendable in Mrs. Blank. 1 ventured to reply that ft was not graceful ami that I should not care to nee my wife yelling a* an iceman or any man. “ ‘But, you see,' rejoined my wife m she passed my cup, ‘lira. Blank’s husband was a volunteer.’ “ ‘True,’ said I, 'tut bls command nev er got to the front. No fault of his, I ad mit. And now he is home and is as healthy and robust us I am. He told me himself his army experience was an outing for him, and that he never felt bettor in his life.’ “ ‘Quite fmc,’ said my wife, Tmt Mrs. Blank probably thinks ot what might have been. I saw her calling to the ice man—she was not yelling, as you put It, and she explained to me, deer, that her husband expressed a desire for a dish ths preparation of which required an extra al lowance of ice, and that as he had said he had not tasted the dish in question since he enlisted she thought she would have it prepared, and in order that there might be no mistake she just put on her hat and at tended to the order herself. And I think it was very sweet of her.’ “I immediately-changed the topic. Aft er a cigar I said I would call up my livery man and have him send around the vic toria and team. I thought an evening on Riverside in the face of the moon about the proper thing. As I was starting to the telephone my wife put her arms around my neck and said she had sent the team around to Mrs. Blank’s because Mrs. Blank had said that Mr. Blank had not been out for a drive since he enlisted. “Last Saturday I concluded I would give my wife a bit of a surprise, and at 10 o’clock in the morning I called her over the wire and told her to have the man bring her traps for a bit of a cruise. She thanked mo and said I was thoughtful and put in some very pretty talk. She said to-the same treacle tone: “ ‘Say, Jim, dear, do you care if Mr. and Mrs. Blank join us!‘ “ ‘Why!’ I shouted back. ‘They had the rig the other day when I wanted it. Confound it, can’t we have our yacht one night alone!’ I asked. “Well, I waited a minute for the effect, and then I heard her voice, low and sweet: ‘Jim, dear, I know ft was not just right, but I had asked them to go aboard this evening after you came up. I was going to surprise you. And Mrs. Blank said Mr. Blank had not been on a yacht since he enlisted. I thought it would be nloe.’ “And so it goes. Mr. and Mrs. Blank were at a card party at my house, and my wife said she hoped I would not skin Mr. Blank as I used to do, because he had not been to a card party since he enlisted. Mr. Blank sent over for my fishing outfit—you know that outfit, which cost me 8800 three years ago; never had it out but twice. Well, I was out of town, and my wife sent it over, and when I howled about it she said poor Mr. Blank had not been fishing since he enlisted. “And now Mr. and Mrs. Blank and my wife are away up in the Adirondacks, 'cause Mr. Blank has not been anywhere since he enlisted. And when he looks at me and sees me getting red in the face he shuts one eye and says, ‘Jim, you missed it when you didn’t enlist.’ Why, d—n his head, he hasn’t been out of the state J”— New York Sun. Philippine Island Eagle A The Insurrection in the Philippine is lands, now followed by the attack on Ma nila by the United States fleet, has brought to a close a very interesting set of expedi tions to explorerthe animal life of this very little known archipelago, says a writer In Country Life Illustrate. These were con ducted by Mr. John Whitehead, and among the results of his labors was the discovery in 1896 ot the largest eagle in the world. It was shot on the Island of Samar, one of the Philippines, where it lives above the level of the enormous for est, consisting of trees 80 yards high, and feeds on monkeys. It is larger than the golden eagle, more powerful than the harpy eagle and has a beak higher, deeper and more formidable than that of any other raptorial bird. It weighs from 16 pounds to 20 pounds, while the average weight of a golden eagle is only 12 pounds. The only full grown specimen of the great forest eagle obtained there is In the Museum of Natural History at South Ken sington. It was disabled by a single buck shot in the neck and ultimately taken down from the tree to which it clung byanatlve hunter. Its claws are as formidable as its beak and resemble those of the harpy eagle. Wanted to Begin a Beeord. An anecdote he told me with keen relish was of two “bad men” who “shot it out” with Winchester rifles on the main street of Medora. One of them fell with a bullet in his hip, his rifle dropping out of reach. His antagonist was aiming for the coup de grace when he felt a touch on his arm. Looking round, he saw a meek and ven erable old person called “Uncle Billy,” who gained his livelihood by sweeping out a saloon, cleaning the cuspidors and serving an occasional drink. “Jake,” said the old man imploringly, “let me finish him. I never killed a man yit. ’’—Chicago Record. A Quition ot Time. A certain strapping private is as good a soldier as ever munched hard tack, but he has no more sense of humor than the barrel of his gun. After the midday meal a lieutenant set him rather a difficult task, remarking: “If you accomplish that this afternoon, I shall say you may become as great a man as General Merritt. ” “Lieutenant,"declared the private very solemnly, “I’ll do it this afternoon if It takes me till morning. ” —St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Not a Criterion. “They ray that Dewey used to be a bad what qf it!” “Why, it proves that the boy you set down as no good can generally be depend ed upon to surprise you.” "Nothing of the sort.
