OR his tatnerly knee found rest, And merrily chatted they on the while' .Kate's babe slept on ber breast. Ben told how Cut his potatoes grew,

FALSE HAIR AND ITS BUB8TITOTES*

How Hair is Ruined—Hair Work.

Tbo Boston Commercial Bulletin says: Strange as it may soem. the hair which grows upon the heads of our fashionable ladies has no commercial value. Through muob crimping, curling and dosing with various hair "invlgoratora,'' "restorers," pomades, etc., it not only beeowes variegated in oolor, but hard and brittle, rendering it wholly unlit for use in the manufacture of hair work. Indeed, it is found that the tuore people "take care" of their hair the more they injure it, while those European peasants who let nature take its course and seldom even comb their hair, produces the finest and most delicate article. -b ITS VALUB,

In tbe shape In which flie Buyer brings it In from the country, this hair is worth about $20 per pound—in gold. After it has been sorted^ the length and shade—from #1,50 to $100 per ounce. Indeed, It is almost Impossible to set a limit to the outside price of choice lots ol long hair of desirable shade, for so difficult are they to obtain and so urgent is the demand from parties with whom money is aseooadary consideration altogether that tbe fortunate holdera can set their own price and be sure of a customer. "A switch ot very lldht gray hair," said a dealer, "thirtysix inches long and weighing five bounces is worth 91 ,000 and oan rarely be found at that price."

SUBSTITUTES,

V,I

JCVW T'.IL

In a oountry like ours, whero fashion lis a law to tbe poor »s well as to the ^rieh, it has been neoesaary to provide

MO me cheap substitute for human hair, in order that factory and shop girls and others of slender means may vie 'with their vrealthtor sisters in the *adorament(T) of thoir heads. For this purpose several substanoes are in use.

The first material applied to this puripose waa Jute, which, after passing ^through several processes, is reduced to a long and glossy fibre, which in genoral effect, closely resembles hair, and which, owing to its comparative cheapness, rapidly came Into general use. I My means of dying It was produced in fall possible shades ami waa eagerly bought in the shape ot "switches," "waterfalls," etc. vt

glass. The small particles find their ,way through tho hair to the scalp and, it hoir edges being ragged from the combing process, act like so many poisoned sbarbs, which, entering the, pores, and

Hilield

in plaoea, introduce the poison beneath the skin and caase irritation and ^ulceration. It Is owing to thta that tho lidea became current that the jute contained animal psraaites, Uiat bo rod into (ho skin and laid their eggs beneath it. The most caretul examination has failed to discover any vestiges of animal life in Jute, but tho little barbs «?e have npokon of, which have been distinctly (teen protruding through the pores of the scalp, and the sores they produce, give every evidence of being the result ot mercurial poison.

LISS* AND COTTOJT.

A more recent and harmless substitute for human hair is fbund in fine cotton and linen thread, dyed to the proper shade and sised to give It the requiaite glow, and then made up Into the various forms into which it oan be used. Switches of this material are Mold at retail lor about one dollar each, a price at wkloh a very handsome profit is probably realised by the dealer.

SILK AS A sumrrrriTE.

Probably tbe beat substitute tor human hair yet produced is silk libra. Its finenem ana strength render It peculiarly suitable, while Ita brilliant lustre adds to Ita resemblance to the real article. It la used both alone and in connection with real hair, especially thoee eases where a switch Jo»t sprinkled with gray is required. To produce this effect dark hair and gray ailk fibre are taken in unequal proportions, varying according to the ahade deal red, and woven together, the result being with difficulty dIstingutahed from a combination of ml hair, ye* costing, owing, to the immense prioe of moderate sum oomparati and braids are also made

For thui purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is pre-eminently the article needed. It cures every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the pimple, blotch or eruption.

SEWING MACHINES FOR 1871.

The magnitude to which the sewing machine business has grown is only surpassed by the rivalry of the various competitors, few of whom are unfamiliai with the nu* merous art 1 floes resorted to for the commendation and sale of the particular machine sought to be sold. If the number of sales be any criterion of merit, tbe Singer nee in* to bear tbe palm, as shown by sworn returns of tbe companies, made under the licenses granted them by the owners of the sewing machine patents, and which are as follows: THE SINGER MF'G
