In the warm days of summer, with
dust and perspiration, the heads of peo-
pie, especially of laborers and children,
get very dirty, and common washing will
not remove this. Here is a recipe, given
me by noted lecturer on hygiene, which
l am sure will please all who use it.:
In pint bottle put spoonful of olive
Oil and add two ounces Of best spirits of
ammonia or hartshorn; shake. Then
mix with three ounces of alcohol, and
when thoroughly mixed fill the bottle
with soft water. Remember to put in
the ingredients in the order named, or
you will have stuff and no chemical
union at all. To apply, take spoonful
or two OF this with a little warm water;
dip sponge or rag in and wet the scalp
thoroughly, now rinse off in plenty of
warm water, and you will be surprised
at the amount of dirt, though you may
have thought your head perfectly clean.
For the heads OF young infants it is just
the thing, as it instantly removes the
dirty scurf without pain or trouble. it

A Hygienic Breakfast.-The Lars of

If desireD and light, warm corn gems is
set before US. This answers the same
purpose, healthwise and otherwise, as
soups at our ordinary dinners; and
though in some families, where the warm
part of the breakfast is put on the table
at first, it may not be desirable to leave
it cooling while eating first course, yet
it is considered better to give the stOm-
ach this preparation before beginning
the harder, dryer part of a meal. So
next, if convenient to the housekeeper,
we will be served with warm mashed
potato, milk toast and nicely-prepared
Lima beans, with continuation of the
corn gems. This may sound scanty, but
we are sure from experience that such
breakfast makes up richly, both in guam
tity and quality, for what it lacks in
variety, and gives better satisfaction than
a table loaded with so many different
kinds of breads, buildings and sauces
that the partaker must either 60 through
an ofttimes perplexing process of selec
ton, or fall a weak victim to the effects
of taking as many kinds as are offered
him.

bottom of an earthen pudding-dish, and
then cover that with layer of blackbcr-

around the sides of the dish, sprinkle
over the berries sugar enough to sweeten
them, and if very juicy, wheat-meal
enough to whiten them, and then add
another layer of berries. Put more bat

and if the dish is deep enough put in
more meal and another layer of berries.

minutes to one hour. If the juice runs

dish should be high enough to prevent its
running away. The juice is the best
