The objsct of the questlon was a snooth, youthful face. The rest of the form in a barber's chair was con- cealed under a sheet, and a tonsorial artls t was at work on the head. “No, It's a girl,” was the snswer, and the secker of Information turned his face toward tho young lady at the rlak of be- Ing cut with the razor. She observed the movemet and blashed with the con- sclousness of her novel position. “‘That {s the third we have had here to-day to have thelr hair cropped,” con- tinued the barber, as he added mora Iather. “This one mnext you had halr that reached to her walat." “‘Do you sweep It up and throw It out with the men’s hair?"” “Ob, no! They take it home and use t for switches or sell 1t to hatr dealers. It s a little more trouble to cuta lady's than a man’s halr, because there is so much more of it, but we don’t charge them anything extra, though they do at some places,” When she trlpped down from the chalr her back halr was clipped short, but her bangs fell over her forehead in- tact.

There are exceptlons to all rules but as a general thirg there is a sharp decline in the prices for hogs from the summer rates before the nominal open- ing of tho winter seazon. There are not a few wko are of the opinion that thls year will prove an_exception and that from this time forth the ups will prob- ably exceed the downs In the course of prices. At best 1t is all only guess work but there are certaln peculiar condlitions In the trade at present which do not usually sppear. In the firet place the eupplles have been over-estimated, and, as a result, the packers have been making a strong fight all the year against whas they have called unreasonably high pricss. At no tlme during tho past efx months have prices been quite as low a8 the packers caicula- ted they would be. There Isa very pop- ulsr notion to the effect that buyers, the manufacturers and the middle men, ara continually fightng against high prices. OF courso the principles of trade demand that the eeller must eell as dear as poos!- ble, and the buyer must buy as caeap as ho can, but there are some queer freaks in all trades but espeolally Iu the pack- ing and hendllng of meats. As every one knows, speculation 1s one of the very largest elements, in the pork trade es- peofally, and whilo it ls generally sup- posed that packers are Invariably bears 1n the hog marker, there sre excoptlonal times when the packers, some of the in- fluentlal and leading ones, seem almost anxloas to “put the market upon them- selves ” Ta other words thers are times when it s to their interest toralse theprice of hogs for the sake of influencing the provision market, in which they may happen to ba more directly Interested. But such exceptions are only incldental to the general course of the market. The conditions, however, whish accompany high prices for hogs are very much more satisfactory to the packers than when prices for the raw materlal are very low. 1t s true that more capita! is required to handle etock at high prices then stock at low prices, bat the profits are always larger in flush times, when prices are high, than when prices aro weak and de- pressed from any cause. luissald that the country is full of young hogs and corn and that the eupply i3 llable at almost any timo {0 exceed the demand. But let it be remembered that th:s position has been held by the packers and others for the past five years, Each year tho ory has boen just wait tlinext yearand thero wlill be two hoga for every placa to put one, Tho only satisfaciory feature of thess predictions s that they bave been in the *futuve tense.” The prediction has probably becn etereotyped. ‘‘Next seaton”’ the packers are expecting to cub en {mmense ocrop of hogs at low prlcez, They may do it But one of the most exiensive packing establishments is reported not to have put “a pound of meat {n the cellars in a month” on account of high rrlue'. It is s well- known fact that nearly, If not all, of the raw materlal recently worked up has gone Into lmmediate consumption. As a rale the Chlcago cutters bave been putting mo:t on the countere, snd figures show thatibutchers of eastern citics have been taking more than ha!f the arrival of hogs here durlog the summer. The stocks of product are therefore low, and the peckers willall probably feel disposed to go into the business at a lively rate when prlces are so they cin, This leads some people to think fall and winter prices are likely to advance rather than recede. At the same time, from a spoesulative point of view, If the packers have no procuct on hand which they want to eell at high pricee, they will bo in yoo trlm to bear prices for hogs, There is only one thing for seneible hog raisers to do, aud that is to prodnce hoge ay good as possible and be prepared to reasonable profits even at low rates, Esrly maturity, good quality, qulck re- turns and small profice,” are points to keep In mind, What Imported LADUF Froduces, A Plttsburg correspondent of the New York Sun draws & dark picture of the condltion of labor of the minlng districts of Pennsylvania, In a state unsurpaseed for the variety and richne tources, laborlng men sre llving sauslid poverty snd In meny instances are roarcely able to keep themselves and familles from starvation, How it is possible for & man to support kimss!f aud fsmily on fourteen dollars per month fow lonn determine, but the best pald fron ) miers in Pensylvaia earn only this jeum, while the best pald coal minors re- celva thirty-five dollars, a little more than ane dollar per day. The provalling rate of wages In the iron mines, not de- daeting the namber of days in which thera I8 no wotk, s seventy ceuts per day, and the crrespondent says that ‘‘the Amount of money which each individusl has for food, clothing, mediolne and all necessaries, covntlng three adults fo a family, a man, his wife, and two chitdren, ranges from 10 cents to 34 cents a day.” The com- panles charge $5 per mouth for thelr ten- ements, snd {t happens In many cases that a man with a monthly income of §10 pays away half that sam for sheltsr. It is charged that all sorts of exactlons are practiced on the miners, In the anthra- cite reglon mining Is pald for by tho day, 80 many oar loads being required fora day’s work. The miner is fined for a cer- taln percentage of slate In a ear, and if the amount of slate Is In excess of the coal he s discharged. In the bituminous reglons the coal mined fs paid for by the buehel of eeventy-slx ponnds, The law of tho state requires that the minere shall have a check.welgher, to he pald at thelr own expense, but in many instances the law ls evaded, and the miners Inslst that the welghlng boss employed by the proprietors cheats them In weight, Miners only receive pry for the coal which does not throogh the screen, while the owners sell all that s sont to the surface, The dla- covery and use of natural gas has had somewhat to do with the depresslon of mining, but the chlef cause of the piti- ful poverty and distress which prevails throughout the Penneylvania miolng re- glon ls the Importation of forelgn labor. The companles have picked the region with cheap laborers from abroad, Poles, Hungarians and Bulgarians swarming through the coal mines. Owiog to this the labor supply far exceds the demand, and, ss & result, thousinds have no work while others have obtained employment feom fifty to ono hundred days eine last Januarg. Tho lmportea laborers rarely become skilled minere, and the corree- pondent says that they are content to re- main lsborers, aud ccnsider a dollar a week a good Income, 1t is this which s enting the lifo out of several of our in- dustries, and everywhere cheapening the prico of Amerlcan labcr, An over- stocked labor market begets a desperate et:oggle for bread, and rather than starve men will eubrnlt to lmost any exaction. This is the way it wlll contlnue to work 20 long as the cheap labor of Earope is brought ever to glut the labor market. How to prevent thisls the question, An eastern cotemporary dlecuseed this mat- tor a few pays 8go and proposed the im- posltion of such a per capita tox on for- elgn laborers as would deter them from coming to the Unlted States, The labor claszes of this conntry feel the pressure of this continuous immigration and are urglng an extra session of congress to se- cura some mensures of relief. Unleta something s done thers will be trouble in the future, and that of a serlous na- ture. All things ofnt in that directiop, and It fs a question whether congress has not as much right to shat out the pau- perized laborers of Europe as to exclude the Chinese. If the one act is constiiu- tlonal the other would most certainly be. — — If you suffer from looseness of the bowels, Angostura Bitters will surely oure you.
