HAIR BRUSHES AND CoNBs.-Children shonld he
taught. from their earliest remembrance, the i'm
portan7e OF keeping the hair clean, not much
ly the use of the comb as the brush Two S ,rts
OF combs are used fine and coarse, made either Of
ivory or bones when the | rush has been well used,
there is seldom any necessity for the fine tooth
comb. and the intention of using the coarse comb
is merely to disentanSlc he hair and prepare it
for the brush. Nothing is more in curious to the
skin Of the head than the frequent application OF
the small tooth comb, the points Of the teeth of
which scratch and otherwise irritate the scalp,
tending more than any other cause to the f'rma-
ton Of scurf. 1t cannot lie too strictly impressed
upon the minds of parents. if they would see
their off.prings blessed with good head of hair,
to refrain as much as possible from the Of the
small comb; moderately hard brush is quite
sufficient to keep the head and hair clean, and
should be used the first thing in the morning on
account of the hair being more supple at that time
than any other When children suffer from a
security head the following wash used occasionally
will remedy the evil at once, and will eventually
cure the complaint. Take of salts of tartar fonr
drachms; tincture of cantharidcs. 20 drops ;
spirits of camphor. % drops; lemon juice, half a
pint. Dissolve the salts Of tartar gradually in
the lemon juice till the eff.rvescenoc ceases; then
add the other Ingredients, and after having it ex'
posed to the air for n short time. it may he per-
iumed and bottled for use. This is the finest and
most innocent hair wash that can be made

New TEsr.-The prevalence of so-ethroat
gives rise to fearful apprehensions in the minds
Of those who chance to be troubled with any of
TIE symptoms which fore-run an attack of that
disease. We heard of a man few days since
who imagined himselfa victim and straightway
determined to put his throat to the test Forthwith
he procured bottle Of 4" fourth proof" and began
to drink. One swig after another was taken,
when, after about the eight round the victim de-
clared himself beyond TIE reach of the disease -
brandy had never been known to effect his throat
and nothing sholt Of something of that kind would
convince him of the approach of an attack of that
disease.
