through which tho wild .waters dash and roar In

"I or there s no knowing what tribu

solemnly; ''and it's always just ns well
to be able to turn hand to almost any

Singeing the Hair.

THE
"Yes," said a Monroe street barber,
as he quickly tossed a blazing gas jet
over tlio head of the customer, singeing
the hair off as accurately as it could
have been clipped by a pair of scis
sors, "the latest crazo in the tonsorial
art is the singeing process. Tho meth
od usually adopted in large shops is to
use a movable drop light. Iho comb
is parsed through tlio hair, and the
ends aro burned off by the ilamo of gas,
which is turned down low.
"What is the particular benefit
claimed to bo derived from this pro
cess?" 'It is claimed that it prevents tho
hair from changing color, and restores
to its original color faded and colorless
hair, bo popular has the singeing pro
cess becomo that every first class bar
ber-shop is prepared to remove hair
eithei by tlio scissors or by burning.
It is claimed that in singeing tho hair
the ends aro hermetically sealed, thus
preventing the escape of the vital prin
ciple, or fluid ot the hair at tlio ends,
just as the sealing of a thermometer by
tho blow-pipe prevents tho escape ot
thu mercury and tho action ot outside
agencies.''
The secret of the preservative in
fluence on tho hair of singeing was
discovered in France in a very singu
lar manner. Some ears ago a terrible
g- explosion occurred in runs, and
imong tnu casuaiities reported was
that of an elderlv gentleman, who,
upon aliu'bting after having been blown
into the air au unknown distance, dis
covered that his hair had been burned
off clusu to his head. What was his
surprise to find a few weeks later a
luxuriant growtli ot hair wnere beloro
md been scattered a few gray tufts of
what looked more like frost-killed
hunch giass than healthy hair. Acting
upon the 111 nt. nltorded by this well
authenticated case as to the effects of
singeing off the hair, tho process of
singeing hair to give it luster and pre
vent its turning gray was adopted in a
few of tho shaving parlors of Paris.
riiu process spiedily became so popu
lar that it was generally adopted. In
Boston this method ot treating hair
has been in vogue for several years.
So far as I know, however, this is the
first season of its use in anything like a
general way in Chicago. The theory
that it seals up the ends of the hairs
and pi events tho leaching of the mar
row of tho hair is, I think, correct. We

""'nber is steadily

increasing. It is
considered best to singe the hair onco
in about tour weeks, and tho man who
keeps this up through life, it is con
tended by competent French authori
ties who havo had opportunity to prac
tically investigate tho matter, will
