deep coiffures are worn in full dress and
may be arranged almost according to
fancy; simplicity is also fashionable
where it is becoming. Indeed, in speak
ing of this part of lady's toilet the
embarrassment of riches" is the only
difficulty. Natural flowers are also worn
in the hair, and French fashions show
feathers and laces
Curls are to be introduced the coming
season in great variety. Two or three
ong curls, fastened in at the top, are
brought down closely and caught at the
neck, thus forming a couture of them
selves, while the front locks of hair may
be creped and drawn over to conceal the
stem of the curls. In such cases ones
own hair may be tied high and combed
up, making knot or loops above the
curls. Short locks on the brow should
be waved irregularly. The best method
of producing artificial waves is to cut the
locks proper length, and then divide
them into the desired thickness. Soap
well with common bar soap-which is
the only kind ever to be used on the hair
--curving them around by means of soap
and water. Tie down with broad piece
of linen tape, and when Thoroughly dry
pass the comb through them lightly.
These have all the effect of natural
waves, and, where the hair is inclined 0
curl, after few applications only clear
water will be necessary. The scalpettes
now very generally worn are front pieces
of hair made on a thin gauze, and creped
softly. These have the effect of ones
own hair, and are useful, as they protect
the natural hair from the injurious re-
suit of creeping, and are extremely con-
venient. Fine ones are sold from six to
eight dollars.
Young girls now are wearing the hair in
two styles-the braid loop, tied with a
bow of ribbon, or, for dressy occasions,
the back hair is made into three curls,
tied down very low, the front waved
and drawn back prettily. Small children
have the Vandyke fringe waved slightly.
This can be done by putting up in loose
curl-papers, or, for an emergency, by
curling it inward over a hot clay pipe
stem; this produces wavy appearance
far prettier than the straightly-cut Van
dyke fringe. The rest of the hair should
be neatly combed back, the upper strands
tied with ribbon. Little boys have the
hair cropped closely after four years;
under that age it may be cut short, with
the wavy fringe, or the back part left
long and wavy.-Harper's Bazdr.

Autumn Making Of Lawns.

Can I gain anything by sowing grass
seed for lawn in the autumn? If so,
state the best time" Thus writes a gen
tleman who feels disappointed because
he did not get ready to make lawn in
the spring, and who hardly felt satisfied
at the advice we gave, no: to attempt to
SOW grass seed, for lawn, late in May.
Grass seed needs moisture, and will
hardly terminate i'll hot, dry weather,
while the weeds will get such start over
the slow-growing grass seed that even
that which terminates will be choked
Our soils are thickly seeded with coarse,
hardy weeds, and we must give the grass
seed a good chance and fair start, or
they will lose the game. We have known
some people to get the land designed for
a lawn raked off nicely before they OBJ
tain the grass seed, causing delay of
several days, and during all this time
the weeds were getting good start. One
of the quickest and best lawns we have
ever known made was on the estate of
Thomas Leighton, of this city. The
grass seed was sown about the list of
September, and made good full growth.
A light dressing of well-rotted manure
was thrown over for winter protection,
and by the middle of the next May the
grass was as nearly perfect as could be
desired. On account of the occupation
of the ground we were unable to SOW
grass on what we designed for lawn
until November of last year, but thought
we would try it. Winter set in very
early. The heavy snow of winter and the
spring rains made naturally tenacious
soil " too hard for anything" we thought,
and we hardly knew whether it was best
to pillow the whole up and SOW again, or
wait and run the risk of losing the spring
time for sowing. The weather had been
exceedingly dry, but, just as we were
about to break up the hard soil and SOW
again, two days rain gladdened our
hearts, the grass started up thick and
strong, and our lawn will be pretty good
Still, we would not recommend late SOW.

Keep Good Cows.

There is no use trying to disguise the
fact that there is no profit in the dairy
without good COWS. Look at the differ
ence. One cow will make $50 pounds of
butter during the year, worth twenty
five cents-$37 So Another will make
800 pounds, worth $50. The first yields
no profit whatever, and all that you
make comes from the good COW. 1t
would be much better to keep one COW
and keep her well. 1t is the same loose
method which makes all our farming
operations so fruitless. AS general
rule two acres are titled to get crop
that ought to grow on one. So says our
neighbor of the Practical Farmer, and
his logic is so evident as to scarcely need
any addition from us. Overstocking is
mistake very often made, though since
our dairymen have fallen into the habit
of feeding large quantities of bran to
their cows, even while out in pasture, the
bad effects are not so apparent. 1t is by
far too common practice to estimate a
dairy by the number of cows kept, rather
than by the number of gallons of milk
or pounds of butter sold. In many cases
which have come under our notice the
dairyman would obtain more profit by
selling one-fourth of his cows and feed
ing the same amount of feed to the re.
mainder. When every animal has all it
needs or can eat then and only then will
1t pay to increase the number; six we'll
kept animals will yield greater profit,
either in milk, butter or flesh, than
double that number of half-fed ones.
Two cows making ten pounds of butter
apiece are more profitable than three
making seven pounds per COW; the extra
one pound per week is more than equaled
by the increase in risk, labor, ETC.

PERSONAL.

Under the above head, we, on Thurs
day last, alluded to an article that had
appeared in the SilUer State, of date OF
January 30th. In justice to that jour
nal, and to the Humboldt Reduction
Works, whose cause it pleads, We now
publish the gist of its remarks touch
ing our item of January 3rd. 1t states
that Mr.. Lock wood received from the
company all the money due him, and
that he stopped yer a few days in
Winnemucca to play poker, losing all
his money and borrowing $500 from
the company to go home with. 1t
facetiously compares Mr.. Lockwood
to Bill Nye, who was o~ut-generaled by
All Sin, the "child-like and bland"
1t then alleges that" the man from
Cortez" received all his money in
gold. 1t concludes, after threatening
the SENTINEL with a libel suit, by
saying:
As the mining papers generally on
the coast have reproduced the article
AlOAl thO EIy We tIust, d. all
act of simple juitise, they may be
equally prompt in giving the other

We aim to do justice to everybody,
and with that aim in view we pledged
ourselves on Thursday last to inves-

and the result of our inquiries is to
be found in tie subjoined letter and

1t Is not the province of the SENTI-
II to decide between the Humboldt

We regret that our reporter committed

retraction, we can not go. 1t is
