Korean Use For Human Hair

Human hair is in great demand in some of the countries of Europe, and the supply is said to be inadequate. Our consul in Korea points out that there is plenty and to spare in the Hermit Kingdom. "The Koreans," ho adds, "have remarkably fine heads of hair, and they i put their 'combings' to a use that I have I never seen elsewhere. A very large number of the saddlecloths placed under the packs of their ponies are made of hair woven into coarse mats or bags, and . the halters and head ropes of their ' mals are largely composed öf the same j material. 1 believe that human hair is largely exported from China to Europe, and Korea could furnish a large and cheap supply did the people know there there was a demand for it." Here's a chance for some pioneer of commerce. -
