FIDELITY OF DoG.-Numerous instances of the
fidelity of the dog have been put on record from
time to time, and the army correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer relates the following fresh
proof as witnessed on the bloody field near Fred
eriCksburg:
On Monday last, as Hon. John Covode, in COM
pany with number of officers, was passing over
the battle field beyond fredericksburg their atten-
tion called to a small dog lying by corpse
extinct. Raising the coat from the mans face, he
found him dead The dog, looking wishfully up
ran to the dead mans face and kissed his silent lips
Such devotion in small dog was so singular, that
Mr. Covode examined some papers on the body,
and found it to be that of Sergeant W. Ii. Brown
company C, ninety first Pennsylvania.
The dog was shivering with cold, but refused to
leave his masters body and as the coat was thrown
over his face again, he seemed very Uneasy, and
tried to get under it to the mans face. He had, it
seemed followed the regiment into battle and stuck
to his master, and when he fell remained with him,
refusing to leave him eat any thing. As the
party returned, an ambulance was carrying the
corpse to little grove of trees for nterment, and
the little dog following, the only mourner at that
funeral, as the hero's comrades had been called to
some other point.

How TO TAKE CARE OF THE HAIR.-AS to men,
We saw when the hair begins to fall out, the best
nI.n is to have it cut short, give it good brushing
with moderately stiff brush while the hair Is dry,
then wash it well with warm soap sudS, then rub
INFO the scalp about the roots of the har, little
bav rum, brandy, or camphor water. Do these
things twice a month-the brushing of the seal
NAV be proftably done twice week. Damp the
hair with water every time the toilet is made
Nothing ever made is better for the hair than pure
soft water if the scalp is kept clean in the way we
have named.
The use of oils, of pomatums or grease OF any
kind, is runouS to the hair of man or woman We
consider it filthy practice, almost universal though
it be- for it gathers dust and dirt and soils wherever
it touches. Nothing but pure soft water should be
allowed on the heads of children. 1t is different
practice that rohs our women of their most beauti
iu ornament, long before their prime; the hair OF
our daughters should be kept within two inches
until their twelfth year.-HaEs JOurnaLo Of Health.
