New York, June 22.—A ton of Chi-
nese pigtails for the rats of American
women formed part of the cargo of the
big freighter Wray Castle, which has
just arrived from the Orient The hair
came from the heads of Chinese ban-
dits, who had been beheaded, and is
valued at more than $5,000.
Enough of the hair is on board the
Wray to provide thousands of Ameri-
can girls with the necessary "filling"
and great cure was taken on the
freighter to keep it from exposure of
any sort that might spoil it for the
market in the United States.
Hardly had the consignment of Chi-
nese hair been brought to the Ameri-
can docks on Staten Island before the
British steamship Seneca arrived at
quarantine with twenty-two cases of
Chinese pigtails, which, according to
Captain King Grimes, were collected
in Chinese cemeteries by cranky Amer-
icans, who collected the grewsome sou-
venirs for profit in three months' plun-
der of Chinese burial grounds.
The gathering of hair in China,"
said Captain Grimes, “is quite an In-
dustry over there. When a Chinaman
is buried, he is placed in a hole in the
ground in an upright position with the
head sticking out of the ground. The
Chinese believe that their big Joss
comes around in the night and takes
the soul of the buried one to Heaven
by the pigtail.
“After the first visitation of the
Aericans with their shears the broth-
ers and sisters of the buried Chinamen
reported that the Jose had been busy
with their relatives and were content
in the belief that the Joss had lifted
the souls to Heaven by the missing
pigtails."
Honeysuckle Makes Good Hedges.
It may be that you are planning a
new hedge this year to shut out an
Ugly view, intruding animals or to
form a boundary line, says the Delinea-
tor for May. For this purpose the
common honeysuckle, Lonicera grata,
is worthy of consideration. A simple
but strong wire fence will support it
perfectly and the roots may be set in
at almost any time of the year. ‘The
vine grows rapidly, shows a disposition
to take care of itself even to the extent
of choking out poison Ivy or other
climbers that endeavor to invade its
stronghold. Its habit is to grow to
the top of the fence and then droop
down gracefully on either side. A
close wall of green is soon formed, so
close indeed that dogs give up the at-
tempt to push themselves through its
mass of intertwined twigs. The flow-
ers return for a second blooming, cast-
ing always, to considerable distances,
their soft, delicate scent.
A hedge of honeysuckle vines, more-
over, is less costly than one of box or
privet, and It does not require the clip-
ping and care of the latter. Often such
a hedge forms a desirable windbreak,
especially for the roses of a garden.
Trained over a simple framework It
makes a delightful canopy for a garden
bench.
Tightening Sewing Machine Belts.
When you are sewing in a great hur
ry and the machine belt becomes loose,
de not stop to remove it In order to
tighten it. Simply put a drop of ma-
chine oil on it, turn the wheel a few
seconds, and proceed with a.tightened
belt.

The Duchess of Marlborough, at the
dinner given In New York In honor of
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, said: From
earliest childhood English women are
made to feel the obligations of Individ-
ual responsibility and society itself de-
mands adequate fulfillment. It Is In
this sense of obligation that we Ameri-

A Cleaner for Black Goods.
Buy Ove rente worth of borax and
ten cents' worth of camphor gum. Put
them into a large bowl, breaking the
camphor gum first Into small pieces.
Pour over this one quart of boiling
water, stirring to dissolve the borax.
All the camphor will not dissolve. Af-
ter it is cool, put into a bottle and cork
tightly. When wishing to use it, pour
a portion into a basin, diluting it with
half the quantity of cold water. Wot a
black stocking with this and sponge
your goods, pressing afterward. This
will remove all spots and grease and
restore the black.
