Dressing the Hair.

THERE arc as many STYLES of dressing
the hair as there are shades of it. All
styles are fashionable. A great deal of
Ornamentation enters into nearly all.
Combs of gilt and silver are much used,
and other ornaments, as arrows, find con-
siderable favor. A very elaborate coiffure
tor full dress consists of putfs and curls,
either powdered or plain. The front hair
is arranged low upon the forehead in
short, thick curls. The rest of the hair
is tied high upon the head at the back,
and made into four large pufs. To these
are added two long, large curls of natu-
raj hair. A comb of frosted fire gilt di-
vides the first and second puits, and
similar comb is placed at the right side.
A bow of ribbon, feather or flower, is
placed among the puffs, and renders the
coitfure very elaborate. Gray hair is now
considered great and enviable beauty,
and those who have the brown and gold
without the "silver threads" resort to
powdering and frosting to heighten the
effect. Small finger -puffs are generally
becoming, and, with few flowers or gilt
pins for adornment, are very dressy.
Lace, which is so popular now in every
phase and combination, forms an exquis-
ite drapery for the hair. A pretty way OF
arranging it is this: The front is loosely
waved and drawn back; few small fin
ger-putis are at the top of the head, and
the rest is smoothly lOOped in chatelaine
at the back. A large barbe of Chantilly
lace is so arranged as To fall but slightly
at the left side, while at the rig ght It
drOops gracefully over the shoulder, and
is caught to the side of the head by deep
crimson rose and bud. This is a beauti-
ful way of utilizing old collars, wells and
other rare old pieces of lacey. Y. Cor

Speech by Mr.. Blaine.

A grand Hayes and Wheeler ratiflca-
tion meeting was held in Washington, a
few evenings ago. The attendance was
very large, and the proceedings were
marked with enthusiasm. After adjourn
ment, the crowd proceeded to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Blaine, who was received
with the most intense manifestations of
favor. He addressed the assemblage as
follows:
FELLOW REPUBLICANS: The condition of
my health forbids that | should address you
at any length, and l fear my voice may fail
TO reach any considerable portion Of the large
crowd to whom ! am much indebted for the
compliment Of this call. Let me say in brief
that heartily JOIN with you in ratifying the
nomination OF Hayes and Wheeler. / know
both candidates well, and have known them
long. They are true and tried, honest and
competent, strong and popular. l do not be-
lieve it was possible for the National Con-
vention to present more acceptable ticket
to the great mass of American voters, and [
have no doubt of its triumphant election in
November. To that great result your efforts
and mine will, am sure, be devoted with
most earnest zeal. II may be permitted to
refer to the connection OF my own name with
the Republican nomination, let me say, gen.
tlemen, that look back upon it with pride
and satisfaction, with not one tinge of regret
at the final result. 1 owe much to the true
friends who so faithfully supported me, and
| am sure that 1 do not entertain feelings of
unkindness toward those who opposed me.
hope | can 90 further and say that out of all
the fierce conflicts of the past half year, do
not this moment cherish a trace of ill.will or
uncharitabe feeling against any political
rival or any political opponent. Let us look
forward hopefully to the future for the peace
and prosperity of the common people, wisely
guarded by a Republican administration OF
government, which shall be just to all Sec
tions and all citizens of our common coun-
try. Thanking you again, gentlemen, for the
honor OF your call, bid you cordial good

Hew TO Prepare tomatoes.

There Is an ignorance which is far too
wide concerning the preparation of vege-
tables for the table. They ought to have
cooking very simple and very perfect,
and they do not always get it. One of
the most delicious and healthful of sum-
mer foods is the tomato, and it is also one
of the most abused. Raw, it is often
brought to the table cut up into unshape-
ly Jumps with the skin still adhering to
them. Cooked, it generally appears merely
a watery red mess, interspersed with pieces
half done, hard and greenish in color.
The ideal dish of raw tomatoes is thus
prepared: Choose only those which are
large, comparatively smooth, firm, and
thoroughly red-ripe = it is an absurdity to
offer small or immature specimens in a
salad, and if you can't find such as are
here recommended, you must not attempt
to eat raw tomatoes. Put them in a tin
pan and pour over them boiling water,
pouring it off Immediately. This SO
loosens the skins that they can usually be
pulled off easily, without any violent ap-
plication of the knife. Then with a very
sharp knife slice them across, discarding
the first piece, which has the hard base
of the stem, and the last piece, which is
too small. Make the slices thin rather
than thick, keep them large and whole,
and pile them carefully in layers in a
pretty dish, delicately sprinkling salt and
pepper over them. Then put them away
to get thoroughly cold in your cellar oil
refrigerator. Prepared thus they are
simply ambrosial, and only apagan could
scorn them. If anybody wants to add
sugar and vinegar to the seasoning, thai
can be done at table by the eater. Slices
of the large yellow tomatoes scattered
among the red, sometimes make the dish
look very tempting.
For stewed tomatoes, peel as above, but
cut in pieces, not in slices. Put these in
a two-quart tin basin or porcelain lined
saucepan, and add salt and Just enough
water to keep them from burning While
they are simmering comfortably throw in
a very little pepper, good large piece OF
nice butter, and enough fresh soda crack
er broken into small bits to thicken the
mixture, without making it like a pud.
ding. 1t should be thin enough to run
easily from the spoon, and yet not be
watery. This dish is also exquisitely in
viting. There are other methods of cook
ing Misunderstanding with rice, stuffing
and baking, etc.-but in no guise are they
so good as those described above West.

Rehang Your GrindstOne.

The periphery of every grindstone on
which edge tools are ground should run
as true as the dressed surface of mill
stone, AS it is impracticable to grind tool
correctly on a stone that revolves with an
uneven motion. If the periphery of a
stone varies half an inch in each revolu-
tion, the most expeditions way to put it
in order is to loosen the wedges with
which it is keyed to the journal and re-
hang it. Then secure the bearings Of the
journal so that they cannot be easily
lifted out of the boxes and turn the per-
iphery off true and smooth. Let a firm
rest be fixed close to the periphery before
attempting to turn off the prominent por-
tions. The rest must be solid, with the
surface close to the stone, SO that when
the turning instrument comes in contact
with the stone it will remove a thin chip
without splinging away from the stone,
Stone turner's always employ for turn
ing tool the end of Il bar of very soft iron,
drawn out to point and turned up at the
end for gouging. A piece of soft iron is
far more effective than steel. One of the
best devices for turning off small hand
stone consists of thirty. penny cut nail
driven firmly about two inches into the end
of hard stick of timber to facilitate hold
ing the nail. Then, with the end of the
nail held like turner's gouge, proceed
to turn of the grinustone. Let grind
stones be shaded always from the sum
mer's sum-. Y. Herald.

Madam Blank had no idea of living in
strict seclusion upon limited stipend,
however, after all these years of indul-

gent for the various friends whom her
husband had so frequently wined and
dined, and suggested to them that they
make her some suitable and substantial
return for past hospitalities. Said one
gentleman: "Well, madam, what amount
do you consider an equivalent for the
viands have consumed at your festive
boardY 2" "a thousand dollars would
perhaps cover the expense" was the
cool reply, and the 81 900 was quietly
handed over by the gentleman aforesaid,
who mentally resolved to be very chary in
his future acceptances of dinner parties,
not relishing the prospect of footing the
expenses of his gastrOnomic feasts years

can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic, in its nature, is totally different from
such drugs. II contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; in fact It assists the regular operations Of

Its nature much resembles the gastric Juice that

him. The men took their posts, the line moved
forward, and the balance OF the day is house
hold word over the whole Nation.
1t would be impossible, in this article, to
mention all the contests and services in
which Hayes took part. II was his divis-
ion which Sheridan chose TO assist his
cavalry, in attacking EarlY's lines, and
he took a leading part in the desperate
campaign which followed, at one time
leading his command successfully against
the enemy through marsh in which his
horse sank helpless, and again springing
to his feet when his horse was shot under
him and his soldiers thought him dead,
and returning to the head Of his COM
mand.
For his bravery he was promoted 10 be
Brigadier- General from Oct. 10, 1854,
and was breveted Major. General.
In 1864 he was nominated to Congress,
but when his friends urged him to come
home and work in his own behalf, he re-
piled:
In CAN'T, Oct2.
Yours Of the goth ulhmo is received. Thanks.
l have other business Just now. Any man who
would leave the army at this time to elecioneer
for Congress onght to be scalped.
Truly yours, X. b. HAYES.
He was, however, elected, and in 1866
was elected again. He resigned his seat
in 1867 to accept the Republican nomina-
tiOn for Governor OF Ohio against Mr..
H. Ioc,
5000 majority. He was reelected Gov
ernor in 1869 over Pendleton by an in
creased majority; in this year the Demo.
Gratis first nominated Gen. Rosecrans
against Hayes, but he refused to run. His
administration as Governor was very pop
ular In the State, and when he retired in
1872 the newspapers of both parties
Joined in praising him.
In July, 1872, Mr. Hayes YVES strongly
urged to consent to be the Republican
candidate for Congress from the Second
Ohio District, but he positively refused.
The convention, however, nominated
him, and under the pressure of the de.
mand he accepted the nomination. The
county, however, went Democratic, and
he was defeated, but ran ahead of his
party ticket
In March, 1873, President Grant nom
mated him to be United States Assistant
Treasurer at Cincinnati, but he declined
the office and went back to his home in
Fremont.
His election over Allen as Governor
last year is still fresh in the memory of
all. He did not wish to run, and ex-
pressed an open preference for Judge
Taft; but when the people selected him
he accepted the nomination and fought
one of the hardest campaigns ever known
in any State.
