Dressing the Hair.

There are some points in the dress
ing of the hair which all women should
understand. The present universal
fashion of covering the forehead with a
fringe of hair or small curls is a great
wrong TO the majority. They may twirl
and twine over small, delicate, lair
countenances but nobter faces want a
smooth expanse of forehead, aud in the
fashionable "idiot fringe" we lose all
the upper lights of the countenance.
Dark complexions, too, always require
masses of hair lying languidly in grand
easy forms of shining coils black hair
is spoiled by g frizzing."
In order to bring out the intellectu-
ality of any face, the hair should be
swept back and raised high. The face
lights as the brow uncovers, but care
must be taken not to draw the hair too
tight and rigid all that is necessary is
to show that exquisite line along the
roots where the skin is soft and fair, and
the coloring fresh and sender even in
old age. The covered forehead is of the
earth earthly; all the Delilahs of every
age and country affect it, and to prove
its effect you have only to take any all
pictured beauty and in imagination
sweep the forehead clear, and turn up
the flowing curls into smooth, tidy
coils, and the woman looks reformed.
Children and young girls may were un-
bound hair, but in a woman it looks I'M
tidv-and worse.

oo.operattve Farming.

The idea that farming can be conduct
ed on any kind of cooperative plan
seems, at first view, absurd, and few
farmers would listen TO such a scheme.
But, taking a clearer view, it will be
seen that cooperation has already com
menced. and that so far it is highly sue
cessful. For instanc the best and the
principal part OF the cheese produced
in the country is made by the cooper
ative plan, whether the farmers sell
their milk, or put IN their milk and re-
oeive their pay IN dividends when the
cheese Is sold, for both plans are
adopted. Country merchants have now
almost ceased 10 buy cheese, and we'll
enough, too, for they are without prop
er means of taking care of it; many of
them are such poor business men, OF
they have so little capital, that they can
not afford TO pay what cheese is worth !;
and, formerly, when they dealt IN it,
many Of them failed. Butter is also
made IN factories in the same way and
even when made in families Il is bought
by special dealers who take it at the
house and pay cash for IT, This is OF
great advantage to the dairy farmer, for
he is able 10 pay cash for whatever he
may need. and he can trade where he
likes. II progress is made with like
success IN this manner, for few years.
the country merchant VIII buy neither
fruit. hops, nor vegetables, and he VIII
sell but few groceries or farm machinery,
for these can be bought, as they now
are IN many sections, at Wholesale.
Grain could be sold by the farmers Of q
township or district al wholesale, and
at better prices than they nov gel in
the retail way; and buyers can afford
10 pay better prices for this way Of

country merchant second, the small

the gods, and TO the dead, and so the

In the childhood of the race it was i'm
agined, as it still Is by savages, that
when a man sneezed it indicated the
presence within him of n spirit. And
so, to-day, when a child sneezes. the
nurse declares that it is a sign of health
and good luck. After eighteen centu-
ries of the gospel the old pagan super
stitions are still alive. Though in less
than four centuries christianity mounted
the throne of the Caesars, and put
every pagan practice under stern con
demnatiOn, yet for many and many
centuries the old worship of Jove and
Venus fingered on in the obscure vii
lagos of the empire, and, where it did
not openly appear, it secretly entered
into and possessed and transformed
christianity itself, so that the historical
student can find in present ROmauism
traces of almost all the rites and divin-
tiles of classic time. The feast of the
Saturnalia survives in Christmas Juno,

NUMBER As.
Churning whole MIX.

We had an inquiry last week relating
TO the freezing of milk, asking whether
cold temperature sometimes reaching
the freezing point decreased the quanti-
ty of cream, which question was answer
ed in the affirmative, in our column of
Questions and Answers" Our cores
pondent, and others who cannot pre-
serve an uniform temperature for the
milk without keeping it in contact with
the air in the living room, may make
first class butter by churning the whole
milk, without skimming, or at least
skimming only 50 far as to furnish cream
for domestic uses.
The plan to be pursued when the
whole milk is to be churned, is to save
the milkings until enough is gathered
for churning, allowing what cream will
rise to do so. Then pour the cream
and milk together into a suitable vessel,
set it where it viii become sour and
thick, avoiding all stirring or shaking,
so SIS not to break the film on top, and
thus allowing air to enter the mass,
which would cause rapid fermentation.
The proper deRree of acidity may be
known by the film or skin becoming
thick and uneven over the contents Of
the vessel IN which it is placed a deep,
large jar may be used. When the prop
er degree of sourness has come, churn
Immediately, having the temperatu e of
"a degs., which is somewhat higher
than that necessary for the proper churn-
ing of cream. Churn steadily ard at
an even stroke, until the butter is form
ed, and then proceed with the sailing
and working as in ordinary cases. This
plan viii enable you to keep your jar
where there is fire. Where facilities
for raising the cream are not good, and
where only few COWS are kept, this
way is both easy and economical.
In Holland, where much whole milk
is churned, the milk is repeatedly stir
red to prevent the cream from rising,
which causes the mass to thicken rapid
ly. The proper degree of soUrness is
determined by its being thick enough
to hold spoon upright. III it docs not
adhere to a bone or ivory knife, it is
right for churniDg
In Brittany, on the other hand, the
mornings milk is poured directly into
the churn, to which is added the pre-
ceeding evenings milk. The whole is
then allowed to stand several hours,
when it is ehurned and worked. Both
of these methods are said TO give excel
lent butter. It is a well-known fact
that both Holland and Brittany dairies
are noted for the superior quality of
their butter.
1t is claimed that a given quality of
milk, churned whole, will give five per
cent. more of butter than where the
cream is allowed to rise. Butter of the
most superior quality can be made from
whole milk Cummings, and the whole
process is simple and easy. It is prin-
cipally question of laboring In ehurn-
ing so large a mass. This, however, is
not onerous where but few COWS are
kept. The butter is also gilt-edged
when fresh, and keeps equally well
with that made from cream Western

Density Of Population in London.

The population of London was stated
at 1881, ,S04 in the preliminary report of
the census of April, 1871 the revision
at the census Office has shown the true
number to be 1884, ,26O. In 1901 the
population was but 95s, s63. The re-
vised area is given as 7S,0S0 acres, or
l22 square miles; this includes 2,71s
acres of the Thames The mean densi-
ty of population in this area, as shown
by the census, is ~ persons per acre.
This density ranges from one per- on

A Parisian "Institution.

One of the noteworthy features Of
Paris is the system of cheap restaurants
established a few years since by NJ.
Duval, butcher, but carried on since
his death, which occurred in 1870, by a
company. There are now sixteen of
these establishments scattered over the
city, so that you cannot go far in any
direction without meeting a Beuillon-
Duval. The originator made a very
large fortune in the business, portion
of which, inherited by his son, was
wasted on the notorious Cora Pearl, and
then that mercenary beauty turned the
cold shoslder on him. The young man
attempted suicide, and came very near
accomplishing his purpose. The largest
of these restaurants is near the Palace
Royal, and is of vast dimensions, ele-
gantIy fitted up and brilliantly lighted.
The floors and the galleries which run
around the four sides Of the hall at the
height of the second story, are fitted

The Postal Savings Bank Scheme.

The postmaster general has finished
his annual report. He renews the recon-
mendation of a government postal tel
egraph, and enforces at length his views
in favor of postofice savings banks,
some time ago given to the public.
The report very fully enters into the
details of the postal savings bank scheme
and there is little doubt that the presi-
dent will recommend it. It is believed
that all the cabinet are unanimous in
favor of the system. The following are
! some of the details: It is proposed at
first to introduce the system only in
what are called the presidential Offices
that is, postoffices the salaries of which
are 81 900 and over. The entire system
viii be connected with the postal money
order offices. One clerk will be detailed
to receive and account for deposits. As
each deposit is made a certifcation of
deposit viii be entered in a pass book.
The general Office at Washington will
be notified of this deposit. and of the
name of the depositor, after which a
certificate of deposit will be forwarded
from Washington to the depositor as a
further guarantee. Deposits may be
withdrawn both from the office where
they we're deposited and from any other
within the general district, but no de
posit can be Withdrawn until a permit
has been obtained from the general Of
fee at Washington. This authorization
of withdrawal has been found necessary
by Great Britain and Canada to prevent
fraud. One feature of the scheme is the
establishment of several grand divisions,
to which the local. offices shall report
directly. All moneys received on de-
posit must be deposited within a stated
time at the nearest national depository
The postmaster general is informed that
the plan is very generally approved in
the west, and has recently received q
communication from prominent east
ern banker, advocating the plan as a
very efficient means to strengthen the
credit of the government, and prevent
ing a national panic In time of crisis.
The flow OF currency into the treasury
at such times, from savings, would en-
able the government to purchase its own
bonds, and thus relieve stringency by
keeping currency in circulation.
