On that day we joined forces, the colonel, his middle aged sister and his boy of fourteen, the three young men from the houseboat, who proved to be officers on leave, and ourselves, and, having summoned the stately, headman, who appeared, fol lowed by his dirty servant carrying the book of chits, and having commanded horses for the day for all except the sister, who preferred a dandy, we don ned our riding clothes and topees and sallied forth, a jolly party. At any town in Kashmir one can get a very good little riding pony for one rupee a day (33 cents), which includes a sais to run behind and carry the lunch. It is a price fixed by the state. bo we cannot be cheated. The mongoose climbed up onto my ' shoulder when we started and he danced there all the way to Atchibal, although I cantered the greater part of the time. The road was good, and along the river side, through groves of wil lows, avenues of poplars, always with the snow mountains in view. Atch ibal, our destination, was an old pleas ure garden of Jehangir and has em press, the beautiful Nourn:*ihal. It is a lovely spot, with groves of enormous chinar trees, three springs gushing literally from the mountain Bide and several small pleasure houses made of exquisitely carved wood built in the center of a made lake. We all eat on the roots of one of the big chi aars at lunch time and opened the dif- ferent lunch baskets. The mongoose was turned loose and immediately dis appeared into a hole in the tree. And Abdul, whom we had brought with us, was sent off to consult with the head man as to the possibility of tea. He returned in a short time saying I that there was only native to be had. At that moment a portly person ap peared, accompanied bj» a servant car rying two large books, and after touch ing his forehead and saying salaam in- | formed us that he was the steward of j the Dak Bungalow, which was not yet open to visitors, but that he could pro vide us with tea and fresh vegetables if we wished. We demanded tea at. once and it was forthcoming in about an hour. Our bearer had been cautioned as to the cleanliness of the cookpots, which are all of copper, lined with tin, and must be relined every two weeks to be safe, and he himself brought the cook pot for us to inspect, copper, but with Kelai (tin) over the prettily etched outside as well as the inside. The buf falo milk, which was all we could get. tasted a, little strong, we fancied; the sugar, which had evidently been broken off a large lump—and very dirty lump at that—had to be scraped well before being used, and there was very little taste of tea about the decoction; but we were glad of something hot and had to put on the best face, as the steward, his two servants, Abdul and, at a dis tance, every sals, were watching silent ly to see how we took it. They were evidently pleased with the result, for they disappeared soon after and injt short time came back carry- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 1903. Ing chinar leaves, on one of which was a bunch of freshly cut asparagus, on another some crisp watercress and on a third, or, rather, two put together, a small head of cauliflower. Of course, pice was scattered about, and after with difficulty persuading the mongoose to come out of the chinar, where he had discovered a most attractive hole, we gathered our possessions together and were about to mount our ponies when the two large-sized books were produced and we had to spend a few moments looking over the signatures. Among them we discovered two signed "Baden-Powell," in both of which the old steward was complimented on the unfailing supply of fresh vegetables vided by him for the Dak Bungalow. We took a roundabout route home/ stopping at the ruins of Martand, dat ing from three hundred and something A. D., but were disappointed, as so greatly have they been damaged by earthquakes and effaced by the Mo hammedans, who allow no figure of a man in their temples, that they look like any ruin that might be seen in Europe, not at all like the East. We all left Islamabad for Srinnuggar on one end of which He the ruins, and had a most wonderful view over the great flat valley, with the Thelum riv er looking silvery in the distance, though we knew that it was the same disgustingly dirty, swift little river on which we had spent already five or six days. We were complaining to Maj. L. as we rode skrvly down hill of the vast number of tips necessary to be given after a stay in an Indian hotel, and saying that we thought in reality they mounted up to to as much if not more than in a hotel in Europe. He said he thought it very foolish to give to all the servants assembled at one's departure, that he never by any chance gave anything except to the bheestin and sweeper who have such very small pay. We all left Islamabad for Srinuggar the next morning. The big houseboat swung off first and, ugly as it and all the other boats are, it was a pictur esque sight, for in the bow squatted a white-clad figure steering with a heavy-shaped paddle, and in the stern another, while at one side were twelve tall men, scantily clad, each with a. long pole, and, as they poled the boat along, the headman sang and in a rather shrill but minor tone, "Al-1-1-1-1 ah!" and the others, all thirteen of them, answered a note lower in the scale, "A-l-1-1 ah-1-1-1-1 a hi!" They always chant ds they pole plong or tow the boat and sometimes it is the name of their priests, or some of the other names of God, but usually the long drawl "Al-1-1 ah" with its chanted, response. They all wear some kind of a prayer or charm either around their necks or in their turbans, generally tiny embossed silver cylinders strung on a silk cord and containing a prayer. They will not sell them under any cir cumstances, at least vejy . rarely, but we did succeed in buying in Darjeeling one from the neck of a very dirty and nearly naked man a small f/olded paper containing a prayer with thread wrap ped about and around- it until it is completely covered. Our light dunga very fcooh got ahead of the clumsy houseboat and about the middle of the morning Gapt. M.'s small shikara shot up to us? ar*d we were begged to go back to sit on the roof until lunch time, for we had all for saken the dinner boat atid had thrown in our lots with those of'the houseboat, at the urgent request ot tlie three of ficers. The three days on the.river getting back to Srinnugar were delightful in every way. As the current is so very swift there is little work for the men after the start, and the boats floated gently along in the middle of the river, under the blue skies at last and through balmy and scented air. We could have made the journey easily in two days, but preferred to tie up un der the willows and explore the country a bit now and again. In one place we all had tea under an enormous chinar tree up which the mongoose ran and peeped down at us from the thick and leafy branches; at another we started off in search of fresh eggs, and came upon a most enchanting little spot, a grove of huge chinars surrounding a mosque like a tomb, which lay behind a high wall in a garden ablaze with wild scarlet lilies. The roof of the tomb was covered with purple and white iris and the top of the wall stone with a mass of wild mustard flowers. It seemed for a time an enchanted spot; but soon the usual crowd began to collect attracted partly by us and partly by the mongoose, and though our smartest servant, Sidika, put on great airs of command and told them to "gee out," and informed them that they were the sons and daughter* of all manner of dreadful creatures, and that they were utterly without a sense of the fitness of things that they thus assembled and dared to cast eyes upon these nobly born, they were dif ficult to disperse. A little graveyard of very old and dilapidated graves lay on the hillside and I regret to say that our beloved mongoose disappeared down a hole in one of the tombs and refused to come out What he did there and what he saw I hesitate to suggest. We finally got him out, and as it was very nearly dinner time, hastened back to our float ing houses. As it was a lovely moonlit evening, we decided to continue down the river for a few hours, and this time the party of eight assembled on our little dunga and sat about the deck happily, saying little and enjoying much. —Margaret Stirling. HAIR WORTH $100 AN OUNCE. If Pur* White It Costs More Than Its Weight In Gold. The police reported last week the ar rest or two young thieves who were accused of stealing 300 pounds of human hair from a dealer. "There is probably some mistake about that case," remarked another" dealer. "If the hair they stole was only average qual ity American hair, and they 'had 300 pounds of it, its value was In the neigh borhood of 150,000. If ft was line import ed hair, its value could easily have been $250,000. - ■ "Hair is the most, expensive commodity on the market, sttort of- radium and dia monds. It costs more than its weight in gold. Some hair costs $HK>- air ounce. That is (1.600 a pound. If the youthful 6neak thieves had made away wHh hair of this quality, their 'swag would have been in the neighborhood of $480,000. "But this expensive hair necessarily ex ists in very small quantities. That is why it is so rare and so expensive. "This particular hair, which costs $100 an ounce is the pure white hair, uncolored by age, cut from the head, of a living person, and measuring at least thirty inches. Shorter hair of the .purest white commands a high price, but in order To get the recora value the length must be at least thirty inches. "And in all the United States there is probably not a pound and a half of this perfect white hair for sale. . Many aged people have it, but those "who'do will not sell. "Elderly people withTdng white hair should not -be tempted to cut It off in the hope of getting $100 an ounce for it without first having an expert inspect it. If it is tinged with yelfow" Its value is reduced to almost nothing. We can get plenty of long white haft*~trnged with yel low, but the pure white is extremely rare and very expensive. "A wig made for the wife of a Chicago bank president by me two years' ago of this pure white hair, cost the lady $1,200. And it took me nearly a year to collect the hair from all over the country. 1 used about five ounces In the wig. "The most expensive BRade, next tc the white hair I have mentioned, is what is knoWn as ash blonde. It is a mouse colored hair, very rare—not the pal< peroxide blonde produced by artificial means, but the natural pa)p blonde. Hail of this kind is easily worth ?50 an ounce, but very few people have it. "'The cheapest kind of hair is blaelt Chinese hair, cut from the queues 01 Chinamen. You can buy this hair for }l a pound. It is used only for stage pur poses, in making what we call mikado wigs.—New York Sun SIAMESE ANTS. Insects Have Characteristics Hitherto Unknown to Scientists. A new trait possessed by ants has hf->n discovered by a French traveler in sume of these insects he found on his Journey ings through Siam. These creatures w»-re small, of a gray color and lived in damp places. They traveled often an»l in troops which sec-med to be under the di rection of a commander. who rode on "horseback." M. Meissen, the French man who noticed this peculiarity, was attracted to these groups by disrover ing that each company contained a large ant that traveled more rapidly than the others. Observing them more closely, lie noticed that each large ant always car ried a small gray ant upon its beck, though the remainder of the troops were on foot. This mounted ant would ride out from the line, travel swiftly along the column from head to rear and apparently over look their maneuvers. M. Meissen con cluded from what he saw that this speeii-s of ant, while on its travels, is under the direction of a commander, though such "ant horses" as the general rides must be rare and valuable, for he scan-ely ever found more than one mounted unt I in a colony.—Chicago Chronicle. South Carolina Style of Pig. Peter McArthur was telling of traveling down Sout^i when he sprung thi* one. He said that his train had atopixd at a r railroad station in North Carolina, and a red-complexioned hog was sc-jii rdbMns himself on a telegraph pole. "That hog seems to be trouMPil with fleas or the mange," obseived Mr. M.Ar thur to a native. "Mango nothing." replied the native to whom the rynark was addrt-ss>-1.
