Loss OF liAIR.-It is OF no use to at-
tempt to prevent badness ms age comes
on, vet certain dsordered states occur
where the hair comes off altogether, or
in patches, affecting even the eyebrows
and the cause il mistakenly attributed
to ringworm. At times loose hair comes
way in the brushing or combing. Such
eases as these will generally be found
susceptible OF remedy. Wilson recon-
mends men or women with short hair
to dip their heads into cold water every
morning 2ud afterwnrd to apply the
brush until glow of warmth is felt all
over the scalp. Those who have long
hair are to brush it until the skin be-
meath becomes red, when lotion is to
be applied rs here specified E,u de
Cologne, two ounces tincture of can
tharldes, half an ounce oil OF nutmeg,
half drachm oil of lavender, ten
drops. To be well mixed together. An
other is composed of Mezereon bark,
in small pieces, one ounce /; horse radish
root, in small pieces, one ounce boiling
Distilled vinegar, half pint LIT this
infusion stand for week, and then
strain through muslin for use. If irri-
tating to the skin, these lotions may be
made weaker, or less frequently applied
than might otherwise be necessary.
Either Of them, or distilled vinegar aloue,
NAV he rubbed into bald patch with
toothbrush. The same lotions may also
be used if the hair is disposed to became
gray too early, as they invigorate the
apparatus beneath the skin, and enable
it to make up the coloring matter. Dye
ing of the hair is a practice which ought
never be resorted to. Those who are
unable or unwilling to discontinue the
practice of applying some kindof dress
ing to the hair should at least content
themselves with simple or good MI
terial. The best olive oil is most suit
able for the purpose, scented with etto
of roses or bergamot. The latter, as
many persons know, is the essence of a
species of mint

ANOTHER Casa sensation has been
caused in San Francisco by the publica-
ton OF an alleged plot between Laura
d. Fair and restaurant waiter named
Frank to poison Judge Dwinelle aud
Alexander Campbell, counsel for the
people. The waiter Frank, who reveals
the plot, says it was formed before Mrs.
Fairs second trial. He states thnt that
lady tried TO induce him to put poison
in a decantcr in Dwinelle's house or in
the miIk-can at the door. At the same
time tnat this was intended to be done
woman went to the latter's house and
told Mrs. Dwinelle not to leave the milk
can out. The matter was concealed from
the public. but has been investigated by
Chief OF Police Crowley, Judge Dwin-
ellie. and all the counsel iu the case.
Some thought the waiter insane, but be
had a plan Of Dwinelle's house in his
possession. Mrs. Fair remains in the
city. The people are much lncensea at

ApouT SuNpAY.-The Chuvohnaan thinks
there can be medium between gloomy

Puritan idea was wrong it does net follow
that the Persian idea is right. The Puri-
tan rule had no foundation in any fitness

much more Of bugbear than reality.
The error lay far deeper than the Lord

DIAMONDS. - Finding diamonds in
Africa is not very hard work. They dig
up the earth and rock it at some random,
carry it out in sacks and buckets, empty
it at some suitable place, and sott and
separate it. After drying it in the sun,
it is pulverised rs nearly as possible with
mauls and shovels and shaken through q
coarse sieve. The pieces too large to
pass through are thrown away as rub
bish while the remainder is sif' ID
again, this time on II finer sieve. None
but diamonds under quarter carat will
fall through, so all these siftings are ac-
cordingly regarded as worthless. That
portion then remaining on the sieve is
then laid on a smooth table of zinc or
sheet iron, and scraped into small parti-
cles with a sorting knife, when all dia-
monds can readily be detected and picked
off. Diamonds of the larger size are
sometimes found sticking in the screens.

SHARP TRICK.-In that aristocratic old
suburb of St. Germans, France, is n
church whose poor-boxes have quite
reputation for being we'll filed, and not
only coin but bank notes for a consider
able amount are frequently dropped into
these receptaces by the charitable faith
full. When they were emptied on re-
cent occasion many of the notes were
found to be mysteriously glued together
with sticky preparation. This excited
suspicion. 4 strict watch was kept,
which resulted in the appearance of an
ingenious young man, who, with piece
of thin whalebone for rod. and NOR
sci ,of very strong glue tor bait, pro-
ceedcd to angle for bank notes. with sue

Foreign Fashions.

There are few evening dresses made
