THE SHIyERISG SOUTH.
Caused by Ice and Snow In
Florida and South GeOrgia.
Philadelphia Times.

The edge of winter has Tapped over
and covered the hills, and pine barrens
of the "sunny south" with mantle Of
snow, and for the first time in genera
ton the natives of the gulf states have
enjoyed tie luxury and novelty Of a
snow balling bout. 1t is impossible to
present an adequate description Of the
Excitement produced in south Georgia
and upper Florida when Sunday morn
ing revealed the unwonted scene.
At Jacksonville and along the st.
johns river the storm took the form Of
sleet, covering every exposed object
with strong coating OF ice and render
ing the streets impossible. The hotel
men viewed the scene with alarm, and
the invalid guests ga2ed from their win
dows despairingly, for their fancied Sc
curity from chill blasts was gone. Those
Interested in orange culture at all points
north Of Pllatka have grave and we'll
founded fears for the safety OF not only
the fruitnow on the trees, but for young
groves planted within three or four
years. Time can only demonstrate the
havoc wrought in this direction. The
hotel men have, at least, the consolation
of knowing that the intense cold at the
north will force an unusually large
number Of people TO seek the mider
states, and thus compensate them for
the dispiriting effect the present
weather must have upon their, guests.
The latter generally take the infection
good-naturedly and admit that accord
ing to the rules of chance a repetition
Of this experience is hardly likely to oc-
cur again this winter Many ludicrous
stories are told Of the effect of the snowy
visitation upon the people and animals
Of these regions.

town by scores to report the won

feet Of Christmas surprise would be

whereabont.
Mr.. Wills said Chat he had heard ru-
mors to the effect that there was a white
girl captive in his band, but they took
good care to keep her from his sight
while in camp, although on several oc-
casions he attempted to discover her at
night, but each time was frustrated. He

NOR, and efforts should be made by the
authorities to secure her release.

How to Treat the Hair.

A lady, in the Detroit Free Press, SAYS
to all who wish for information on the
care of the hair: My mother let nv
hair grow until was four or five years
old, then she kept it cut until was
twelve, and when very, very young al
ways bathed my head with bay rum or
brandy. 1t has been growing six years,
and it is thirty-eight inches long and
very thick and fine. l always bathe It
now in weak salt and water. If the hair
is not cut often while children are young
it will never be thick when they grow
older
Two other receipts we give which are
xcellen;:-Take three ounces of pull
verized sage, and turn pint of cold, of
soft water over ii; have it in a TIN dish
with q cover; let it steep over the fire
ten or fifteen minutes, strain it off and
add teaspooniul of pulverized borax
and same quantity of salt. Keep in a
tight bottle and apply with sponge or
soft cloth by rubbing gently over the
head, then brush lightly. Use it night
and morning. For everything but here
ditary badness 1t works like a charm.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says: lake Of pulverized alum about
one-fourth of a teaspoonful, put this INTO
half cupful of cold water, add to this
tablespoonful Of the best alcohol, and
with the tips of the fingers rub this mix
ture thoroughly into the roots of the
hair. This will prevent the hair from
falling out, and the alcohol is very slim.

DANCING.

The Rev. Mr.. Hamlin, of St John s
Methodist Church, Newburg, n Y,
has been preaching on this subject.
He describes it as "the unmeaning
shuttle and ''the passionate embrace.
He warns his hearers against marry
ing dancers; declared dancing inca
pacitates business, renders home-life
monotonous, ant. : :; e::.cnioyed by the
West utf humankind for the basest
and lowest purposes. The lewd and
sensual would not be so fond of it if
they did not find it to furnish some
thing for their purposes. The speaker
also condemned dancing because it
caused extravaganza, saying that
many man has groaned as his pock-
ct book has been compelled to yawn
for the purchase of a dress that was
only a modest one in the ballroom.
Dancing was declared to ruin the
young. Mr.. Hamlin charged parents,
as they valued their children, never
to let them enter the dancing cham
Der. He warned members of his
church; they were obligated by the
Book of Discipline, not only to al
stain from dancing. but to stay away
from dancing parties. Dancing was
inconsistent with the Christian pro-
fession. Lovers of dancing are never
noted for their piety, and people who
are pious are seldom invited to their
performances. Those professors of
religion who received invitations to
dances were told 70 look upon them
as expressing tile opinion of the
sender that they were either ignorant
of their duty or changeable as the
wind. The speaker said that not un-
til private dancing was introduced
into Paris did every other house
become a brothel, and he assert
ed that more than one-half of the
inebriates and fallen women of New
York city to-day took their first steps
in sin in a private dance. The speaker
soiemniy warned his hearers not to
atouch the unclean thing"
