Car Laails i.f Human Hair,
Eight cars loaded with human hsir
arrived iu Paris reoeutly. consigned to
dealers iu that merchandise. The hair
came from India and Cuius, whence
thousands of pounds are annually sent
to England and France, This trailie,
n foreigu medical journal says, is the
cause of the introduction of msuy dis
eases to Europe. Tho hair is cut from
persons after death iu China, aud al
though it is disinfected upon arrival
in France, it oftou carries the germs
of ilisea.ie. Asiatic hair, owing in part
to its coarseness, can be purchased
cheaply, it selling oftbu as low as
twenty cents a kilogram. Tho hair of
Europeans, however, average about
