Slliiht Dlltleillty Arisen. A slight ditllculty hns arisen In tho mat ter of arbitration. It had been arranged that all the delegations were to ndliero to The Hague convention nnd that the repre sentatives of certain nations who nru In favor of compulsory arbitration wero to blgii another treaty ombodylng that princi ple. Tho latter group say that thoy agreed to tli lti arrangement us a compromise, but with tho distinct understanding that both plans wero to bo presented to tho eonfor enco. Now It seems that the United States delegates and others In favor of Thu Hague convention wish to excludo tho compulsory plan from tho conference, leiivlng those nn tlons which nro In favor of It. to sign It out sldo nud Independently of tho conference. This tho compulsory 'party will by nn means agree to nnd two or threo of them told tho Associated Prrxs correspondent this evening that unless both plans aro pre sented to tho couforenco they will refuse, to sign tho arrangement for Joining Tho Hague convention. They say that they aro not admirers of that convention nnd they only agreed to adhero to It on condition that their own plan should nlso havo the sanction of tho couforenco whllo they rec ognize that It would only bo obllgulory upon tho slgnntory nations. The matter Ii a minor one, but unlcso satisfactorily set tled by a concession on the part of tlm friends of Thu Hngtio convention tho no tion of the Pan-American conferenen on tho subject of arbitration will by no means bo as harmonious ns had been anticipated.

"Whero does tho human hair ono sats In tho windows of tho ladlco' hairdressers como from?" l a question which has prob ably occurred to somo persons beforo now. As a rule, says the Brooklyn Englo, tho women of this country do not sell their hair. Thero Is, however, a largo demand hero for this article, to mako thoro flctitlotu hlrsuto adornments which aro seen In tha windows of tho tradesmen before alluded to, It Is estimated that sevoral hundred thou sand pounds of human hair aro required yearly to supply tho domain of tho United States market. It la mainly brought from the continent of Europ. whero women of tho humbler rank have, for ages, been nc Cintomcd to cherish their hair with n view tn Rolllnc It for mono". Light hair comci mostly from Holglum and. Oermany. dark from Franco and Italy, and, also from South America, Thero Is n colony In Holland, tho agents of which mako nntuinl visits to th.i towns and vlllagos nf lormnny. buying the trounce of poor women In France, the trade Is mostly In the hands of agents sent out by largo firms at Paris. These agents, going chiefly to the Hreton vlllnges, take with them a supply of Ilka, laces, ribbons, hnberdaMicry and cheap Jewelry, which they bnrtcr with the peasant women nnd girls for their tresses, A gentleman, whllo traveling In Urlttany, saw much of this singular hair-cropping going on. As the wonun In that province all wear close-fitting caps, the difference between the cropped nnd the uncropped wna not so perceptible ins It otherwise would have been, Thu general price Is said to vary from about 1 franc to fl francs for n head of- hair, halt n pound to a pound In weight, but choice specimens occasionally command more thnn their weight In silver, owing to the ensor competition of buyers to obtain them. It Is understood that tho traffic Is being cnrrled on to some extent In this country. Occasionally ovldenco peeps out to show that poor American women know that thero Is a market for such a commodity, One In stance of a ludicrous kind occurred In a police court somo years ngo. Thu court wns thronged by n number of poor women, who seemed excited nnd uncomfortable, and who whispered among themselves ns to who should bo tho spokeswoman to tell the talc which all earnestly desired should be told. At length ono of them, with a manner haft ashamed, told the magistrate that one Thomas Rushton, a bnrbcr, called nt her poor abode one day and asked politely to look ntjher hair. Whether she guessed his errand, is not clear; hut shn took off her cap at hix bidding. Ho professed to bu In rapturcB with tho beauty of her hair and offered her a good prlcu for It. llclng In straitened circumstances, she accepted thu offer. Tho rogue nt once tpok out his scis sors nud cut off the whole of her hair. "Sco, your honor," she snld, "what he has donu." The Judge did sen nnd found Hint thoro were only little stumps of hair left, like pig's bristles. Thu culprit, It appeared, put her hair In his hat, put tho hat on his head aud ran oft without giving her a single coin. All the other women In court hud been defrauded of their trrssca In a similar way, and probably nil on the same day for tho roguu could not afford to watt until his nefarious sclicmu got wind. Tho unfortu nate women dcclurcd that they had been rendered quite miserable when they came to show their husbands (heir cropped heads which may well bo Imagined. lluforo tho composition now generally used In the manufacture of fnlso teeth was Invented there was an Impression that ac tual teeth taken from the mouths of dead bodies wcru employed by dcntlstH to supply tho wants of their living customers. Whether this was the case or not, It Is Im possible to any, as no dentist has yet been found to confess to nny such prnctlce. WOMK.V (ilVM .MILLIONS.

Qf the $10,000,000 given to colleges alone during the first bIx months nf the year, women contributed $6,000,000. It hns bean noted that whllo men give morn liberally to education, women contributed chiefly to charity and religion. Her beautiful homo In Virginia, 1,000 arres of latfil nnd nn en dowment of 171)0,000, is a recent gift, by will, of Mrs Indiana Williams for n girls' school.

It Is snfc to say that women gave over half of this near tin I f million dollars. At thp triennial convention of thu Episcopal church, held nt San Francisco In October. women gavo $100,000 for missions, nnd pledged the further sum of $l!i,090 for n girls' school In China. Ono of tho must notable glfta for hospitals Is that of Mrs. Collls P. Huntington, who has presented her beautiful homo In San Francisco lo tho city, to bo converted Into n hospltnl for women.
