dice. There are a number of department In the
hair trade. To begin at me Beginning,
there are the continental peasants tnas
grow hair as one of their regular
crops. A crop takes aoout aix
to mature. Then there are the rgents
for the great firms that go around ana
buy this hair from the peasants, in much
the same way that agents from the great
glove manufacturers go about buying kid
skins in small lots and with a careful con
sideration of quality in each case. Ihen
thero are the smaller firms that buy their
hair in the natural state and clean and pre
pare it for the retail dealers tliat is, wig
makers, "wave" makers, etc Of all these
various branches far the most interesting is
that of the theatrical wiginaker. Not only

a special spice of romance to the public, but
in high class theatrical work there Is a great
deal of artistic perception and execution of
no mean order.
Hair is much cheaper than it used to be.
Two reasons can be assigned for this; first,
more peasants grow their hair for market
than used to, and second, false hair is very
much less used. -
It is not many years since several switches

piece of false hair. It is not that our hair is
any better than our mothers', but that it is
now fashionable to wear sucn an amount or
hair as nature usually f urnislies, and it used
to be imperative that avexy woman should

FAXSS HAIR NOT UNCLEAXLT.
No one need be afraid of false hair bought
from a house of good standing on the score
of its cleanliness. The peasants that sell their
hair keep it much cleaner than they would
for their own tastes, because it thus grows
better and of a better quality. Then the

In brief, Englaud has now a navy

boats. Moreover, England, in cas of
need, is prepared for prompt extension.

sault Gen. O. O. Howard, in The Amer

There are m New ork a number or nrnia
dealing in what we call for convenience raw
hair. Their back yards look like a drying
ground of Indian trophies.
Each suit of hair Is kept to itself and
washed and dried separately, and in cases
where it is dyed this is the place where it
undergoes that process. The hair of the dead
is never used. It is worthless for commercial
purposes, not curling or even twisting welL
There is a curious prejudice among the retail
dealers not easily explained against buying
hair from the head or from private hands.
The good firms could hardly be persuaded on
any terms to buy the hair of the suffering
heroine who in novels so frequently parts
with her glorious locks, though if it happened
that her locks were snow white and curly, or
even blonde and curly, they might be brought
to consider the opportunity. Perfectly white
hair is rare and commands almost any price,
and curly hair comes higher in any color.
Most of the white hair sold is not human ban

human hair. The best of them are made of
the hair of the Angora rabbit, and much of
it comes from goats. New York Graphic.

As the medicine bag contains the red doc
tor's stock in trade, be guards it with Jealous
care. It is keot away from the prying eyes
and Itching fingers of the whites and tho
medicine man would as soon lose his ureas,
to nave the contents of his pouch inspected
These bags are made of the skin of some wild
animal, and are variously ornamented ' with
fringe and now and then with beads. We
did not get a chance to look into one during
the prevalence of the dog feast, but not long
afterward a number of Christianized medi
cine men reached the post and turned their
pouches over to the missionary who had con
verted them.
A complete catalogue of the contents or a
single medicine bag would excite the reader's
wonder and provoke a smile. When the dia-

first that came in my way. This particular

some animal in embryotio state I should
aay a young wolf and had "been taken off in
a manner which caused It to retain its nat
ural shape. I found that each article had
been carefully incased in a covering of
birch bark. The wrapper was marked with
certain totemio symbols which went to in
struct the medicino man as to the contents of
the package. The assembled medicines
would have formed an unique collection, and
a general laugh went around as the Indian's
materia medica stood displayed.
There were dried herbs in quantity, leaves,
barks, roots, and stems. Here a claw, there
a tooth, yonder an ear. One package con
tained a beak and a feather, another a human
naiL Our search brought to light small
images of wood carefully wrapped and
labeled. These were the totems that preside
over the use and effects of the medicines, and
without their presence in the poucnes ine
6kill of the Indian doctors would avail noth
ing. The images are of rough workmansnip,
but they answer the purpose for which they
were designed as well as if they came from
the hands of the skillful carver. We found
in the bag we examined representations of
the sun and moon, and some odd pieces of
wood carving supposed to represent the
human figure.
The medicine of one tribe differs from that
of another. The shapes of the healing pouches
are different. No Indian can aspire to the
position of healer of the sick unless he is phy
sically without a blemish, though some
tribes tolerate maimed medicinemen. This
would indicate that among some nations men
tal characteristics go further than physical
ones in the choosing of doctors. The initia

It is a curious fact that tbere are men who
aotabine the wealth of a Croesus witn tne
breeding of a Hottentot. And i6 is a still
more curious fact that such men, because of
their wealth, and for no other discoverable
reason, are pushed forward into public posi

upon which they continually bring disgrace.

A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics thow conclusively
that more persons die from disease of the
hroat and lungs tha any other. It is
probable that everyone, without excep
tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
;a chnwn lv a slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs produc
ing Consumption and to the head, caus
ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to continue will in time
cause death. At the onset you must act
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may
loose you your life. As son as you feel
that something is wrong with your throat,
lungs or nostrils,, obtain a bottle of Bos
shee's German Syrup. It will giyo you
immediate relief.
The Feminine Chinese Feet.
The feet of Chinese women are made small
in a very simple manner. Tho process begins
at the age of five or six years. The foot is
tightly bound, so that the circulation of
blood ceases and the toes are crushed to
gether. The bandaged foot Is inserted in a
short, narrow pointed shoe. In the heels of
which a block of wood is placed, so that the
girl appears to be standing on her toes.
Sometimes bandages are wound around over
the shoe. The foot of course grows smaller,
but, in consequence of the shrinking of the
skin, seems round and plump. Stockings are
not worn. If everything goes all right the
foot assumes the desired form in two or three
years, being gradually shriveled up. The
poor girls often have to undergo great pain.
Sometimes the skin and flesh burst under the
terrible pressure, and occasionally incurablo
injuries result It is dangerous to hasten the
process, and especially so wnen as vuo begin
ning of the operations the girls are beyond
the usual age. Not infrequently the attempt
is made with fifteen or sixteen year old
daughters. In such cases the process is diffi
culty for the foot has almost reached its full
growth, and tho pain is unbearable.
The practice of deforming the feet prevails
only among the upper classes and those who
affect the manners and customs of their su
periors in rank. Among the lower classes,
where tho deformity would unflt a girl for
necessary labor, the feet are allowed to grow
naturally. This establishes a sort of oaste
sign. The father of a tiny footed maiden will
not permit her to marry a man whose mother
or sisters have not artificially diminutive
feet. The written laws of the land do not
refer to this custom in any way; it would

Growing Frogs for Food.
There Is a good deal more sense in a frog
farming scheme than you will find in
lots of these hare brained patents which are
advertised extensively. Of course, every 0110
smiles at the suggestion of growing frogs for
food, and CoL Bill Waddingham came in for
his share of censure when he Innocently pro
posed to utilize some of the useless swamps
of southern Illinois close to St. Louis, where
a good demand for frogs at fancy prices al
ways offered encouragement to shippers.
The improved frog is fat, plump and lus
cious, a most delicious morsel that melts In
the mouth, while the swamp croaicer is a long
drawn out creature that has more spring
than fat to his underpinning. The breeds are
as different and wide apart as the Texas long
horn and the Hereford shorthorn.
Any man who has a pond on hi3 farm can
t-rv the experiment of raising his own frogs.
First let him buy. say six pairs of fine New
Jersey breeders and dump them into the
water. With these for a starter you may select
a nn.nHhr of domestic bactraoean and then
vou will have the nucleus for a fortune.
Don't interfere with your water Investment
for a year any more than to keep your grow
ing stock well supplied wits food. They re
nnire an abundance, but as they are not very
rininf-v in their taste, the expense will be
Heht For a young farm two barrels a day
of hotel table scraps will keep the frogs ia
solendid shape, so that at the end of twelve
months you can begin marketing all you can
fish out at the same price as spring cmcKens.
Give me the time and facilities and I will
wager that at the end of two years I will be
living on an income of $5,000, and my frogs
will nav all expenses. St. Louis has no good
.frogs, as local epicures depend on the labors
of farmers' lads, who go fishing with a shot
gun. In midwinter, when the ground Is
