HINTS FOR HAIR DRESSING.

The low chatelaine braid makes q warm
coiffure, and is losing favor as summer
advances, though it Is not abandoned by
those who find it becoming. The hair is
again combed up from the nape of the
neck and for general, allday wear, is ar
ranged in braids. not coiled, but placed in
oblong rows that reach very forward to a
crown braid, cover the top of the head,
and descend almost to point behind,
though not low enough to be called
chatelaine. For dark hair the front is
scalloped in fine waves, pasted fatty and
low on each side of the forehead, and
these waves are glued in position by BAN
doline, which defies heat and perspiration.
To arrange this the hair is first brushed
smoothly back from the temples, and the
waves are scalloped out by the comb, and
brushed over with bandoline. This fash
ion, however, does not suit light hair,
which should be free from all cosmetics,
and loosely combed together, not fatty
smooth, as if vanished, nor yet fiufdly
frizzled, as formerly, but thick, straight
and natural-looking. Full-dress coiffures
are entirely of finger puffs, covering the
head from the forehead to the nape Of the
neck, and having two dropping curls,
thick, vet loose and light, and only six
inches long when curled. Young misses
and schoolgirls part their hair on one
side, comb it all back together. plait it in
a single braid, and tie it up in long hang
ing loop. These are the directions given
by fashionable hair-dressers; but ladies
who dress their own hair find out what is
most becoming to their faces, and "do"
their hair accordingly, making variety
and indeDendeuce in the matter Of ccif.
fures. For instance, those who have not
burned or frizzed off their front locks. or
made themselves bald by wearing too
much false hair on top of their heads, now
display beautiful white parts, thickly set,
and reaching from forehead to crown;
and this parting need not be in the middle
but on one side, if more becoming, as this
fashion is now often seen on stately gray
haired ladies, and is no longer considered
fast. The front hair is then drawn low
and close to the head just behind the ears.
and may be almost smooth, or else in
succession of loose, natural looking waves
made by doing up all the hair of each sido
on single large hair-pin over night. r.
regular and fanciful locks of hair, curved
forward, are arranged to suit each face,
whether it be to conceal bare temples,
lower high point in the middle Of the
forehead, or hide square corners where
the hair has been burned by frizzing irons.
Hair grown too low on the back of the
neck is frizzed into short curls. Any coif-
fure, to be in good taste (and as It now
happens TO be stylish as welD must be
dressed close to the head, preserving the
natural outline, and adding as little as
possible to its size.-Boston Globe.

WASHINGTON TIP. LOCA Is.

CRABAPPLE, March 18th, 1874.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Thinking that
some of the good people of the county
might be anxious to know what, how,
and where the stream of Crabapple
and the COOL people thereof live, and
more, l will try and give them as cor
rect a statement as possible.
Crabapple Creek is in the southwest
ern part Of Washington Township; its
source is near Beallsville, Monroe coun-
ty; it flows northeast and empties into
Captina Creek two miles west of Arm
strong's Mills; its hills gently sloping
toward the east; its vallies are small
but very fertile; principal minerals are
silver, iron and coal; principal occupa-
ton, farming, mining and numbering.
At the mouth of said Creek lives our
worthy friend, y. III. Caldwell, possess
ing fine farm well improved, which
he sold 10 NJ. V. b. Monroe at some
forty-three dollars per acre, but since
the Groesbeck swindle and money
scarce Van didn't come TO time, con-
seGuently the farm is still for sale.-
Some six hundred yards up said creek
and you find JOS y. Wilson's portable
SaW-inill in fine running order, and
doing Il paying business, with Prof. Il.
w. Jones as engineer. One mile farth-
er up and you find David Caldwell en-
gagged in the coal business and farming,
who is a gentleman in every respect.
A little farther up and you find the
man that is always bright, who antici-
pates building Il fine residence this
summer. He is a widower; hal d in
your bids ladies and carpenters. James
Loudon is always ready to lend help
ing hand. One-fourth mile farther up
and you find The former home of Hon.
Lorenzo Danford; this is where l.. DAN
ford first learned to drive oxen and
stump speech. Samuel DanfCrd, Esq,
is yet hale and hearty, but mother
Danford's health is fast failing; they
have their daughter and son-in-laW
Samuel Meyers) with them, VINO, by
the way is a very erterprising gentle
man, talks of shipping walnut lumber
TO England. A little farther up said
creek and you find another Portable
Saw-mill, owned by Fletcher, Dunn &
Co., who are considered to be the best
sawyers in Eastern Ohio. Near to
said mill stands the Homewood NJ. f.
Church, moved from Piney Ridge and
rebuilt in 1872.
Time and space will not permit me
to pass any farther just now. Suffice it
to say, the health of this locality is
good owing to the professional calls of
our esteemed Dr. Alexander. The
Dr's name is becoming very popular.

tion " i'll be held in our Township the

ED. CHRONICLE-Sincet tie local con-
tributors have become so numerous in
this place, we have ceased for some time
back to put in an appearance with cur
write but content Ourself with read
ing the productions of Others, which
we must confess are highly interesting
to some of us at least. Since Farmer
Scibes and others have given the gem
eral news, we will confine ourself to
but one topic-the one which we think
interests the people of our village more
at present than any other. We refer
to the close of our public school on Fri

Quoted by R. A. Kelsey for the last
year. Friday, the 18th inst, closed the
Winter Term of six months. As a
mark of respect, and TO prove the at
tachment that Mr.. Kelsey had formed
for his scholars, he gave them ON the
"last day." one of the incest treats it
has ever been our privilege to attend.
The teacher furnished an abundance
of fine candies, and as the parents Will
never be behind-hand in anything OF
this kind here, each one came loaded
with pies, cakes, and all those delicacies
which tempt the palate of the most
fsstidious. The forenoon exercises con-
sisted of concert reading, and hearing
the smaller classes recite. The school
was dismissed al IL O'Clock for dinner.
By this important moment the house
Was fnll, and every one was helped to
such feast of good things as is not
seen every day. After every one had
filled themselves to their utmost capa-
city, and the "twelve baskets of frag-
ments were gathered up" the house
was again called to order, and several
recitations, consisting of Grammar,
Geography, Higher Arithmetic, Alge-
bra, &C., were next in order. The re-
citations were all good, and the manner
in which the pupils acquitted them
selves, proves thatSMr. Kelsey's labors
here were not in vain. After the ex-
ercises were through we had "a few re-
marks" from E. d. Scatterday and 9TH
ers, in which all expressed themselves
well pleased, and eulogized both teach
er and pupils very highly. May you
meet with success, Bob, wherever your
labors call you. r. III. z.

very young life, Mr.. Cobb"
Cobb set his glass down on the table,

that went round at his expense.

History of the Potato.

II seems scarcely credible that only
100 years have elapsed since the gen.
eral introduction of this now we'll
known and Observation-Disclosures es-
lent into Europe. But such is the fact,
and it has been proposed TO hold a
jubilee in Germany this year, 1874, in
honor of the centennial of the potato.
When the Spaoiards conquered Peru,
in the sixteenth century, they carried
some potatoes to Europe and sent them
to the Pope. The raw plant was culti-
waited a little in Spain, Italy, Burgun-
dy, and the Netherlands, and from q
certain resemblance to the truffie, an
esculent fungus growing in the earth,
the Italians gave them the name of
Tartufi, or Taratufoli, whence the Ger
mans derive their word Kartoffel. The
French called them "Apples of the
EARTH" Ponin1es de terre, while in
Austria and portions of Germany the
equivalent expression Erd-apfel is used.
John Hawkins first introduced them
into England in 1865. Walter Raleigh
brought them there in 1884, and finally,
Admiral Drake in 1886. The latter
sent some to friend to plant, with the
remark that the fruit was excellent and
nutritious so that it would be very use
full in Europe. His friend actually
planted the tubers, and they grew nice
ly. But when the seed balls were ripe,
he took these instead of the tubers, and
fried them in butter, and sprinkling
sugar and cinnamon over them, placed
them before some company as a great
rarity. OF course, these balls tasted
disgustingly, and the assembly con-
cluded that the fruit would not ripen
in Europe. The gardener pulled up
the plants and burned then. The gen.
tlelnan, who CHANGED to be present,
stepped ON ole of the baked potatoes as
it lay in the ashes, when it broke open,
and he noticed that it was white as
snow, and mealy, and had such an
agreeable smell that ne tasted it and
found it very palatable. The new veg
etable was thus resued, but for CEN
tury, after it was only cultivated in his
garden, and in 1900 the Queen of Eng
Ian, made the remark in her house
book that pound of potatoes cost two
shillinss (about City cents. .)-Jo,rnal of

BUSINE,SSBU URGH LOCALS.

Mr.. EDITORIALS you wish to receive
locals for your paper, and wish them
short, therefore, we will be brief. We
will give you and your many readers q
few items concerning the examination
of our school, which closed on Thurs
day, March 18TH, which has been
taught by Mr.. James E. Garrett during
the last two years. The exercises com.
menced at 9 A. NJ, and continued, in.
terspersed with vocal music by the pu.
pills, and instrumental music by the
String Band, until noon, at which time
bOuntiful quantity of refreshments
were distributed by the committee,
! which was furnished by the teacher
and pupils, which was freely partaken
of by all present, and all seemed to be
well pleased. After the repast the eX-
animation proceeded until 81 P. NJ. At
the close of the examination Rev. A.
Greenlea delivered a short bit very in
teresting lecture on education. Also,
very appropriate remarks were made
by Messrs. Thomas Chambers, c. C..
Fowler and others. We must say, ia
king everything into consideration, the
varied age of the pupils, the order,
peace and harmony preserved during
the day-which was a fair sample Of
the past-and the prompt and ener-
getic manner in which they acquitted
themselves in the various exercises du-
ring the examination, it was a perfect
success in every particular, and will
compare with, if not excel any school
in the township. at the close of the
exercises, Mr.. G. G. Fowler offered the
following Preamble and Resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
We, the citizens of sub-dlstrict No.
IL Mead township, otherwise known
as the Businessburgh School, being in
vited to participate in treat given by
he teacher and pupils, and brief eX
of said school at the close of
the same, do hereby express our salts
faction ana qualification in the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That in our opinion the
school under the instruction of the
present teacher has in every particular
been successful, especially when we
take into constellation the various
branches taught and the varied ages of
the pupils.
Resolved, That we take pride in re-
ferring to the good behaviour and gen.
teel department of the pupils during
the examination, and especially do we
commend them for the vocal music
discnursed during the day.
Resolved, That We tender our thanks
to the teacher, James e. Garrett, for
the energetic and efficient manner in
which he has conducted the school
during the time he has had the super
vision of the same, and that our best
wishes and kindest regards will follow
him to whatever field of labor he may
be called.
Resolved, That we also tender our
thanks to our School Directors-Messrs
Geo. Crozier, S. +. Ogilbee and NJ. V.
Kirkland, for the punctual, perseve-
ring and harmonious manner in which
they have performed their dutas.
Resolved, That we also tender our
thanks to Rev. A GreenIee for his pres
ence and services on this occasion.
Resolved, That we tender our thanks
to DIR. n. j. Piper, Isaac Doty and Jno
+. Carle for the good instrumental mu-
sic diScoursed by them on this occasion.
Resolved, That we recommend the

ations suggested by the name Lin

Capiio! IL not possessing even the
clever characteristic of car;cature. 1t
is discredit to the pretender who
hewed il out. But we didn't intend to
go into the statuury business when we
set out. But having entered the Cap
itol and the old Hall, we could not re-
frain giving hurried glance at what
was intended, doubtless, TO embalm
