PUNCH AND JUDY.The Original Version of a Story Familiar In

Many lands.The romantic story of Punch and

Judy is, in its original form, as follows:Mr. Punch, a gentleman of great per-sonal attract ion. is married to MissJudy, by whom he has a lovely daughter. To the babys no name Is given inthe piece, the infant being too youngto be christened. In a fit of horridand demoniac jealously Mr. Punch,like a second Zeluco, strangles hisbeautiful offspring. Just as he hascompleted his dreadful purpose Mrs.Punch enters, witnesses the brutalhavoc, and exit screaming; she soonreturns, however, armed with a bludgeon, and applies it to her husband'shead, "which to the wood returns awooden sound." Exasperated by jeal-ousy and rage, Mr. Punch seizes another bludgeon, and lays her prostrateat his feet; then seizing the murderedinfant and expiring mother, he flingsthem both out of the window into thestreet.

The dead bodies having been found,polis officers enter the dwelling of Mr.Punch, who flies for his life, mountshis steed, and the author, neglecting.like other great poets, the conflictingunities of time and place, conveyshis hero into Spain; where, however.he is arrestd by an officer of the ter-rible inquisition. After enduring themost cruel tortures with incredible fortitude, Mr-Tunc- by means of a goldenkey, a beautiful and novel allegory,opens his prison door and escapes.The conclusion of the affecting story issatirical, allegorical and poetical. Thehero is at first overtaken by wearinessand ' laziness in the shape of a blackdog, whom he fights and conquers; dis-

ease, in the guise of a physician, nextarrests him, but Punch throughthe thin pretense," and dismisses thedoctor with a few derogatory kicks.Death at last visits the fugitive, butPunch lavs about his skeleton carcassso lustily, and makes the bones of hisantagonist rattle so musically, that

WHAT AILED HIM.

Sad Story of a Bey Sick With"Nostalgia."

Fanner Connover strode Into thehotiso, took off his fur cap anil thickmittens, am! unwound numerous kinksof retl woolon comforter from his amplethroat. Then he sat down by thewarm wimm! tire and said to his wife:

"Seems like I had sometliiu' to tellye, fciiiry Ann, but 1 can t lor the lifeof me rvitinlir it noow."

"Was it soniflxHlr cot married?" inquired Mi-s-. ConnoTt-r-, who wa9bustling about setting the tabhj for6iijiH-r-

.

o, tlidn t Wfm as 'twas. Lemmethink," and he pressed a meditativeforefinger on that portion of his fore-ltea- d

where he seemed to locate thefaculty of memory.

Is anybody dead that we are acquainted with?"

mNo, no, tain t evether marry-in- ' ordyin as I kin see. Ourus how 1 do forget things sometimes.

"We ain't heard from Ben for quiteawhile," suggested Mrs. Connoyer.

"That's it!" cried the farmer, jumping to his feet as sprightly as a log."Tain't from Ben, leastwise it ain'this handwritiu', but it's a letter. 1'yegot it right here in my pocket."

Io tell! said his wife, droppingthe dishes she was holding in a promiscuous heap. "If it am t from Hen,who is it from?"

"It's writ to you," said her husband.producing it at last.

!r. Connover reached tin to theclock shelf and took down her Bible- -

reading ppoctacles.It s a strange hand to me, sh

said, scanning it carefully, "must besome of t icely s folks.

So she stepped to the door leadingabove stains and called at the top ofhr voice:

..Vi-e-e-l-- y!

"Here I am, mother," answered asweet voice. " hat is it?

For everv inflection of her goodmother's voice was familiar to her, andthis one bristled with exclamationpoint.

Here is a letter in a strange handwrite. Io you know who it is from?handing it to her.

'Why, it is addaessed to vou, mother.It seems to me the easiest way to findout wauld le just to open and read it."

" elirthcn, do, said her mother.I'm so fidgeted thinking alout Ben

off there alone that 1 can't open it."This isn t any thing aiKiut Ben,

said Cicely, deftly ojening the envelope after she had adnrired the smart.co. lege style supereription. 'It s fromsmie lawyer or fruitrtree agent, likely,on business."

"What would he write to your motherfor?" suggested Father Connover gruffly.

Cicely read it over to herself first,and at once changed color.

"It is alxut Ben, mother," Bhe said,the tears rushing into her eyes and hervoice, "he is sick, and this is from thedoctor who is taking care of him. Oh,mother, don t cry. Ben needs you.Keep up your strength."

' hat ails hun? asked his father inan unsteady tone.

Cicely read the doctor s letter.He said thas Ben was his patient, and

he was doing all he could for him, buthis parents had better come, as it required more skill than he the physician bad to cure him. He ended bysaying that the boy was suffering froma severe attack of nostalgia.

"What in the world is that? I neverheard of it before," exclaimed Mr.Connover.

"What is it, Cicely?" asked Mrs.Connover. Cicely was a graduate ofthe Normal school, nnd her parentsexpected her to know every thing.

She shook her head."It means that we must go to Ben

jnst as soon as we can. If there hadbeen any hope the doctor would havesaid so."

She cried and worked at the sametime. Ben, her only brother, was heridol. She had opposed his going awayfrom hrst to last, but tuo lather waswiser.

"If the boy ain't contented here, lethim go to the city, ami clerk it for ayear or two. He's king of two handsanywhere," said the gruff old farmer.

And Ben had been ill and too proudto let them know.

They took the evening train. At thedepot some of their friends hail gath-ered to hear the news.

Of each and all, they asked the samequestion.

"Hev you ever heerd of Nastalgy?And none of them had ever heard of

it, but all agreed that it must bodreadful thing to have such a difficultname.

When they reached the city they hadcried and worried themselves sick.

At least the two women had. Thefather, with the Stoicism of his kind,had beat a constant tatoo on the carwindow and whistled an accompanlment all the time ho was crying in hisheart:

"Oh, Absalom! my son! my son!There was no one to meet them, as

no one was interested in their comingexcept Ben and the doctor, and theyneither of them had heard of their in

where Ben boarded, a dreary house.with innumerable small,rooms, where for the entire sum that hoearned weekly Ben Connover was per-mitted to lodge.

The doctor had made his hospitalrounds that night and his last call wason Ben. He was a young phj'sician,and very zealous over his patients. Hetook an interest in the handsome,whole-soule- d country boy who was un-

accustomed to close rooms and sewergas and lonely hours, and so wrotethat letter to his mother.

And as they stood on the step ring-ing the grumbling bell he walked upand soon discovered who they were,and made himself known.

"Oh, Doctor, is there any hope?"Doctor, will my boy get well?"Docto.r, i he still Alive?"

, These were the questions that werepoured into the doctor's ears.

How very unfeeling of him to laugh!"Why, there is nothing in this world

the matter with him! As I wrote youit's only a bad case of nostalgia."

"Doctor!" said the" father sternly,"put that 'ere word in plain EngHshr'

"Oh, I see," laughed the doctor."It is the medical term for homesick-nes.- "

And that was all that ailed the boy.A good deal of mental longing andworry had brought on fever, and Benwas fast becoming really ill.but the sym-pathetic young doctor had diagnosedhis case correctly. He was a soldierwho was not sick from any fatal mal-

ady. He was homesick."Now that we're here we'll stay and

eee the sights, Sary Ann," Mr. Con-nover said to his wife, "and you cancoddle Ben all you want to."

And Ben was very willing to be cod-dled. But it was strange that after ex-

plaining that big medieal word, thedoctor still kept coming. It worriedthe old couple a little, because theythought Ben must be in danger afterall.

But it was the doctor who was indanger now. He had transferred hisinterest in the brother to the sister.And no word was big enough to diag-nose his case.

But it all came out right Only Ben,must have tonics and directions, andat last the doctor went out there andestablished a practice, leaving out theLatin words.

And he was right. There is no moreinsidious disease than homesickness.When the Swiss soldiers the bravestfighters in the world hear the familiarRan des baches they lean on their carbines and weep for their loved glaciersand mountain pines, and often die ofthat hidden wound of the heart whoseclassical name is nostalgia, and whichfreely translated means "sickness forhome."

Dealer Tells Where It Comes From, andHow It Is Obtained.

"Nearly all the false hair that is soldn this country," said a dealer, recent

ly, "is brought from France and Germany. It is obtained in those coun-tries from tho peasant girls. The Ber-lin and Paris merchants send theiragents out through the country dis-tricts, and, whenever one of theseagents meets a lass with a fine crop ofhair, he immediately begins to bargainwith her. As a rule the peasants knowso little of the world, and are so utterlyignorant of the value of things, thatthey generally sell their hair at themost ridiculously low prices. It isnothing uncommon to see a Frenchpeasant girl dispose of the most mag-nificent suit of hair,- - a suit that wouldsell for seventy-fiv- e dollars, for aworthless ear-rin- g or a string of bright- -looking beads. If these merchantsmeet a girl on the road whose hair at-tracts them, they never give the poorgirl time to think, or opportunity to gohome and consult her parents, but themoment she says 'yes,' out come theirshears and off goes her magnificenthair, and the poor child's onlyreturn is a worthless trinket. Itseems sad, but such is life atleast hair-mcrcha- nt life. After thehair has been all collected and broughtinto Paris and Berlin, it is then putthrough a cleaning process and assort-ed and arranged. On all hair as itcomes from the head, there is, no mat-ter how clean a person tries to keepher or himself, more or less dandruff.The hair is passed throngfi a sort ofwire net or chain, the wires of whichare so close together that the hairsthemselves can scarcely pass through.You would think this would cut thehair, but it does not. It only gets thedirt off, and it does so most effectually.After the hair is thus thoroughly cleaned, it is assorted in proper colors, qualities and lengths. Then the black hair isagain run over and three more pilesare made of it the long black hairs.the medium and the short. The lighthair is similarly assorted. Then thedealers mix the black and light hairstogether and make from them differ-ent shades. By mixing a jet black,for instance, with a color twoshades lighter than jet blackyou get a color exactly ontshade lighter, and this is therule all through the different combina-tions of hair colors. - A color mixedwith another color that is two shadeslighter than Itself will produce a colorone shade lighter, and a shade that appears to be perfectly natural. If thehair is mixed with a color that is morethan two shades it will produce astreaky combination, which is, ofcourse, to be avoidexl; but when themixing is properly done not even anexpert can tell the difference betweenthe real color and the color that is theresult of this skillful manipulationThe French are the most expert hair--mixers in the world, and many a blondeor brown suit of hair that looks bo perfectly natural Is, in reality, the productof two different heads, and all the result of the ingeniausFrench hair-mixer- s.

What does a head of hair cost? Well,of course, there is in hair, as in everything else, an immense variety ofkinds, and consequently an immense variety of prices. Headsof hair can be bought as low asfifteen dollars, and there are many thatbring seventy-fiv- e dollars. For thislatter price I should say tha the verybest suit of hair that can be Ion d inBoston can be purchased. It does notcost a woman, or, I should probablysay in order to keep m the fashion.Mrs. Lady, as much to purchase herhair now as it did three or four yearsago. The Mrs. Ladies do not wearnear so much hair now as they didthen, as any one, even a Mr. Gentle-man, can see by glancing at one oftheir heads. Consequently, while Itformerly cost a fashionable femalefrom one hundred to one hundred andfifty dollars to perfectly adorn herhead, supposing, of course, that shehad no hair at all to start with, thesame female can now buy the very besthead gear in Boston at from fifty toseventy-fiv- e dollars. Is there muchfalse hair worn in Boston? Oh, an im-

mense deal of it. I indulge in no exaggeration when I say that there are no"five women in one hundred who donot wear some false hair. BostonHerald.
