As TO MEN, We say, when the hair be-
gins to fall out, the best plan is to have
it cut short, give it a good brushing
with moderately stiff brush while the
hair is dry, then wash it well with
warm soap-suds, then rub into the
scalp, about the roots of the hair, a
little bay rum, or brandy, or camphor
water. Do these things twice month,
but the brushing of the scalp may be
profitably done twice a week. Dampen
the hair with water every time the
toilet is made. Nothing ever made is
better for the hair than pure soft water,
if the scalp is kept clean in the way we
have named.

"REALLY, my DEAR" said poor Mr..
Jones to his better half, ''you have
sadly disappointed me. once con-
sidered you q jewel OF a woman, but

the reply, "console yourself with the
idea that paste is adhesive, and will
stick to you as long as you live."

ART received rather an awkward
criticism from a free and easy young
man who recently met a sculptor in the
social circle, and addressed him thus:
"Er-er-so you are the man-er-that

of 'ein; didn't make yours"

PASTURES AND ORCHARD GRAss.-A
Southern Indiana correspondent writes :
''Orchard grass, Kentucky blue grass,
and white clover, and, If the ground is
low or moist, and red-top, and you
have the finest and most productive
pasture known among extensive stock
growers, as it requires no re-seeding,
but improves in quantity and quality
carrying more stock each succeeding
year-invaluable for woods and past
ures, and should be extensively sOwn
in burnt forests. Leaving out the or
chard grass Gas it is too rank and rapid
grower) you have the best mixture
that can be formed for lawns, yards.
etc. Orchard grass alone makes the
most profitable meadow, as it is i'm
mensely productive, makes excellent
hay, and twice as much of it as timothy
for a term of years. With us timothy
and red clover cut only about two good
crops, and frequently but one. The
farmer needs reliable meadows. To
sow corn, millet, Hungarian grass, or
some other substitute every year or two
to make up for his lost clover or timo-
thy crop, is very discouraging, it being
expensive as well as annoying. Or
chard grass is the remedy, and Is des-
tined at no distant day to stand at the
head of all grasses for pasture or hay.

KEEPING APPLEs.-A correspondent
of the Boston Caltirdtor kept 1900 bar
rels of apples, mostly Baldwins, in his
cellar last winter, by daily expelling
the stagnant air and replacing it with
pure. He attributes the early decay of
apples largely to vegetable miasma in
the air, which is communicated to it by
vegetable evaporation under certain
conditions. The effect of this miasma
is first seen in minute specks on the
apple.

as an athletic exercise, has become de-
servedly popular. There is nc course

velOpe large number of muscles or TO,

the system. There is right way and
q wrong way of walking-the one be-
neficial. the other negative in its re-
suit. What the right way is, a writer
in an English contemporary tells Us In
the following:
The body must be held erect, with
head well thrown back the movement
of the legs must be from the hip down.
ward, and the body should be held mo-
tiOnless. The arms should be swung
well forward in harmony with the legs,
and the elbow should, when in front,
be nearly on level and atalmOst right
angles with the chin, the hands being
open and extended. The leg should be
brought well round from the hip, and
the heel deposited on the ground in
line with the rear foot, so as to leave
your fOOtmarks pretty nearly In line.
But above all things hold your head up
and the body erect.
Stitches and other kindred annoyan-
ces are common in learning to walk,
but the beginner would do well to walk
it off, and never ease if he is seized
with distress. To do SO is to throw
away the pace he has acquired from
the commencement of his walk, and to
knock all the regularity out of his
stride.

tn. Science af Adxltsvation--Some
months ago in examining . specimen OF
cream of tartar, I found two OF three
per cent. of gypsum along with con-
siderable amount of rice -four. Iwas
at a loss to understand how the gyp-
sum came to be there. 1t was not IN
sufficient quantity to pay Tor II eddl-
ton as an sdulterant, and the adult-
Grafton was evidently nee no!r. On
looking the matter mp l found that an
aduIterated article of rice hour con-
tanning from Is to 30 per cont. OF Ryp-
sum was on the market. This ct once
accounted for the Rysum in the cream
of tartar. The manipulator, wishing
to buv his rice -four as cheaplY - pos
sible, had bought the aduiterated ar
ticle.
Powdered sugar has long been not0-
rious for its adulteratiOns. but granu-
lated sugar is generally supposed to be
all right. l was recently, however,
shown an article prepared from rice,
which was not to be distinguished from
Rranulated sugar by color or general
Appearance. It was said that this ~
ticle was used for adulterAting par
ticular grade of granulated sugar that
was sent West to be used by the con-
fectiOners for manufacturing the pow
dered sugar.
Rice flour seems to be an extremely
useful article In this branch of busi-
ness, Hassal gives . list of no less
than ten different substances in which
it has been detected, and yet his list
is not q full one. 1t has the great ad-
vantage over common -four that it does
not cake when packed and become
clammy. 1t thus more nearly resem-
bles the various spices and other ar
ticles with which it is mixed.
This adulterati0n can only be rccog-
nized by the microscope. The starch
grains of rice are very small and angu-
lar they polarize very slightly.
The adulteratisa of bread with alum
has attracted q great deal OF attention
in England. and it seems also to be
practiced to some extent in this count
nv. Numerous methods have been gi-
ven for the detection of the alum. but
none of them seem to be as satisfac-
tory as the analysis of the ash. All
the other methods are liable to error

The Use OF FALLEN LEAvEs.-In the
Gardeners Monthly, Mr.. Meehan says !:
These have to be gathered up. They
are excellent to mix with hot-bcd ma
terial, and, where practicable, should
be saved for this purpose. They do not
heat so rapidly as stable manure, and
in this have an advantage; as temper
ing the violence makes manure last
longer and maintain more regular
heat. They are excellent material to
put round cold frames to protect half
hardy plants. A board is put up to the
height of the frame boards, and about a
foot or more from them, end the leaves
filled in between. If the plants are
somewhat tender, the bottom of the
frames may be filed in few feet with
the leaves. These leaves, after baving
been two or three years decaying,
make admirable stuff for potting plants
and for flowers in general.

How TO ADMINISTER A GROUP BATH.
The method of administering this
bath has been thoroughly tested by
practical experiment, and the following
directions should be exactly followed II
the effect desired Is to be realized.
Take the child upon the lap, pin a
large bed blanket around the neck,
suffering it to fall closely over the whole
body of the child and the person hold
ing it, who can completely undress II
without suffering the air to reach the
skin. Instead of bathing or common
tub, fill, while the child is being un-
dressed-for time Is of the greatest i'm
portance-an ordinary wash boiler with
water heated as warm as one can bear
the hand in. Slip the child from the
knees into the boiler, allowing the
blanket to fall all over the vessel, not
unfastening it from the neck. Let the
water come quite over the shoulders
and up around the throat.
Time the bath by the effect. If re-
taxation Of the structures take place al
once, continue not moment longer. II
relief is not experienced, and the child
is moderately strong, it may be con-
tinued as long as ten minutes. Lift the
child gently to the lap, suffering the
blankets to fall closely around Its per-
son, and draw as near the fire as may
be, and with a soft cloth, heated, rub
the skin dry and keep the child closely
wrapped in the blanket, without dress
ing, for some time, as sudden return
of the paroxysm may necessitate a
repetition at any moment.
The same method may be used in any
case of violent cold, cramps, or wherever
great care is needed to prevent the ac-
cess of cold air.
