The concussion of the air, il is as
serted, will drive off insects that prey
upon the fruit trees, and will also inn
1s prove the atmosphere so as to clear
away the Malicious vapors that pro-
duce fevers- At recent meeting of
prominent citizens of Jacksonville,
Florida, gentleman living in that
vicinity stated that the blowing of the
, whistle of the locomotives running on
a new railroad passing through his
orchard had, driven off the " curculio." !"
HE was lead to believe that this dis
had been caused by the
. shrill noise of the whistle and the
jarring of the air, and to satisfy him
self of the correctness of this theory
he placed two pounds of powder in
the hollow of live oak stump in the
) immediate vicinity of peach and plum
trees which the "curcullo" threatened
to destroy entirely. The powder was
fired off on calm night, and all the
insects, it is is sIstated, disappeared at
once, and the trees and vines subse-
quently exhibited amarvellous growth.
1t is argued, also that concussion of
the air, Wilhdestroylal all animalcules and
nfender sickly localities perfectly heal
thy. AS a proof of the latter theory
it is stated that during the rebellion,
in consequences of the frequent dis
charges of gunpowder, neither yellow
fever nor any other epidemic disease
prevailed in the cities of the South
Other illustrations are also given of
this theory, and the effect of thunder
in siekly seasons are cited as support
ing the above views. It is also stated
that during yellow fever epidemics
few thunder storms occur.

sunny Rooms.

Every woman is wise enough and care
full enough to secure for her house-plants
every bit of available sunshine during
the cold winter months. Great pains are
taken to get southern exposure for
them. Indeed, if one can secure no other
than a north window for her plants, she
has too much love for these unconscious,
inanimate things to keep them at all.
She would rather leave them out in the
cold to die outright, than linger out a
martyr existence in the shade.
Folks need sunshine as much as plants
do. Men and women who have fair
degree of strength and use of their legs
can get glimpse of the sunshine now
and then, and if they choose to do so let
them live in rooms with only northern
exposure; but if it is possible, let us Sc
cure rooms into which every ray of sun
shine that falls in winter may enter for
the little babies who are shut up in the
house, invalids who cannot leave their
rooms, and aged people who are too in
firm TO get out Of doors.
Let us reflect for a moment that these
classes of persons, if kept in rooms with
only north windows, will suffer just as
much from the absence of sunshine as
green growing plants would do in the
same rooms, and their suffering is of
account in proportion as human being
is better than geranium or a fuchsia.
Everybody knows how bright sunny
day in winter gladdens every one who
is situated so as to enjoy it. Let us
make some sacrifice, if need be, in order
to give the feeble ones their measure of
sunshine. .-LaaoS of Life.

Manarement OF the Hair.

| Loss of hair may be occasioned, OIL
very greatly increased, by the means
usually adopted for dressing and adorn
ing it, and very many of the pomades and
preparations sold for the promotion oi
its growth are in reality highly injurious
The too frequent use of very hard brushes
and fne-tooth combs will often be found
of more injury than benefit. If the hair,
from sickness or other causes, falls off or
is loosened by the comb, the following
! process will be found of advantage and
IS perfectly innocent Mix one ounce
Of gum camphor and two ounces of pull
verized borax; pour over it two quarts
of boiling wafer. When cold, boil it and
keep it tightly corked. Apply to the
hair night and morning, rubbing it into
the scalp with piece of sponge or soft
flannel.
For effectually cleansing the hair, a
fne-tooth comb may be passed through
it.once in twenty-four hours, in order to
keep it from tangling, separating the
hairs carefully and repeatedly, SO as to
allow the air topass freely through them
for several minutes, but never scraping
or scratching the scalp with the comb
A moderately hard brush may then be
used to stimulate the roots of the hair,
and for cleansing the scalp Upon re-
tiring, it is advisable to part the hair
evenly, and brush it carefully, to avoid
its folding against the grain, which
causes it to break. 1t should then be
gathered loosely into a white cotton net
never a cap. To leave it entirely un-
covered, subjects it to tangling, unless ii
is twisted up, which is quite injurious.
When the hair is very long, and worn
in any confined, twisted form, it should
be combed out the full length every
night. Lcng curls should also be care
fully eombed out at night, and loosely
gathered into 9 cotton net.
The habit Of immersing the head in
cold water every morning and rubbing
the head with a coarse towel, is bene-
fetal when the hair is short, as in gen
tlemen; but with long hair it is apt to
leave dampness and result in neuralgic
or bronchial affections Wetting the
hair very often to keep it in place, will
in time produce a dryness and a faded
appearance in the hair, and is not any
bene6t to it.
Where tie hair is naturally dry, some
greasy Substance may oooasionally be
used. If the hair is naturally greasy,
these are not only useless, but Injurious.
All very greasy hair requires great care
to keep Il clean, and the preparation Of
caIaphor and borax given above is one
Of the best that can be used. Hair dyes
are an utter abomination, and should
never BE- used They ere dangerous,
dirty, and Injurious, as well az prast- |
cal lie. sue
Il may not be generally known that
nothing viii 50 soon destroy the gloss Of
the hair as the habitual use Of a dirty, |
greasy brush and comb. These should
be washed once s week at least and dried
IN the sEp. The best way 10 wash them
IS to dissolve . suai piece Of SODA in
warm water, and apply Eith a sponge De
