HINTS ABOUT WATER.-No water
that has stood in open vessels during
the night should be used for drinking or
cooking. By exposure to the air it has
lost Its "aeration," and has absorbed
many of the dust germs floating In the
apartment. If convenience requires
water to be kept in vessels for several
hours before use, it should be covered.
Filtering always adds to the purity of
the water. Drinking water should not
be taken from lakes or rivers on low
level. Surface water, or water in lakes,
pools or rivers which receive the sur
face wash should be avoided as much as
possible. DonOt drink much water at
a time. More than two tumblertuls
should not be taken at a meal. Do not
drink between meals unless to quench
thirst, all excess of water weakens the
gastric juice and OverwOrks the kid
neys. Excessive potations, whether of
water or other fluid, relax the stomach
impair its secretions and paralyze its
movements. By drinking little at
time all injury is avoided.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1880-11-04
DOMESTIC.

THE CARE OF THE HAIR.-A fine head
of natural hair is certainly very great
adornment. Well-brushed, glossy,
smoothly-bAn1ed hair used to be the
ambition and the pride, or perhaps the
envy and despair of every young lady.
In latter days we have seen strange
changes In feminine opinion on this
subject. All sorts of wild and pict-
uresQue confusion, crimps, fluffs, ring
lets, false pieces of every description,
have deformed heads which might else
have been graceful. But bangs and
montague Curls have capped the very
climax of ugliness. The prettiest and
most piQuant face grows commonplace
under their spell. The brow, noblest
part of the countenance, Is concealed
beneath q straight or tangled mat, ana
undue prominence Is accorded to the
lower parts of The face. We wish our
girls would resolve never TO wear
banged hair or montague curled hair,
unless they wish TO be taken for luna
ties on tramp. 10 keep the hair In
good condition. eschew pomades, band
ol.ne and unguents, Brush IL frequent-
ly with q clean, dry brush. Cleanse
the brush once week with borax, or
a few drops of ammonia. Let the ha lr
be loose and free at night, and In the
DAYTIME coil it in some loose ana easy
way, fastening 1t with as few hairplns
IS possible.

Row the BuIlRnCh 10 Taught to Sing.

Boys and girls are not the only little
folks who attend singing classes, OF
which you shall know when you hear
about the piping bullhnch. In shape
and size this bullfnch is somewhat like
the sparrow In our city parks, but he
hes very different head. The spar
row, you know, has trim, quick, little
pate Of his own. Not so the bulltiHCh.
HIS ia q clumsy affair-in fact he has q
sort of "bulr' head and neck; so,
you see, he 10 q well named. Besides,
his body is nearly as black as coal,
and his throat is as red rs If the coal
were On fire. He Is not naturally y
singer, nor is he half so clever as our
American mocking- bird. In fact, he
seems rather stupid, but Is willing to
learn; and it 80 happens that If you
persevsrs long enough you can teach
nina to sing q tune. The country peo-
pie of Germany have found this out.
There the peasants take great delight
in training bullt1nches. Their pupils,
being not very bright, as l said before,
are stupidity hopping about their cages,
when suddenly they hear tune played
on violin. They prick up their ears,
or would do SO If they cOuld-and
begin to listen, quite unconscious that
that very same violin has been playing
that very same tune for about a week
without their noticing 1t. But 1t ls
something to catch their attention.
Day after day, for months, she patient
teacher goes over and over again the
same tune to the listening birds, until
human listeners begin to wonder which
will get crazy first, the balltinch or
the player. But by and by the birds
begin to pick up the air, piping the
simple parts at first, and taking up
note after note until, at last, they
know the whole thing by heart. some
times q rustic father spends half his
time all winter, teaching one little pa
tient bird, and all the children look on
with the greatest interest. Or aboy will
undertake the task, and when he at
last succeeds, his sisters look upon him
as the most wonderful fellow in the
world; and they cry in real earnest
when the wonderful boy carries his
pupil to town to be sold for sold these
bulltlnches are sure to be as soon as
they are taught, or else exhibited by
their owners as street singers. Some
times bird teachers are known far ana
wide for their skill and success; and at
Freiburg, In Baden, and small villages
on the outskirts of the Black Forest,
bullflnch training Is practiced as a
regular business. In such cases,
small hurdy-gurdy, or "bird organ, !"
Is used, as being less difficult ard tire
some than the violin; and, instead of
training one bird, they teach the same
tune to class of ten or dozen. Gen
orally, the birds are sent to London or
Paris. where, If they have learned
their lessons thoroughly, they are
bought by rich folks, put into beauti-
tul cages and treated as pets, whilst
other bullf1nches, having trifled away
their school-days and only half learned
their tune, live a vagrant life around
the markets, belonging to nobody, and
picking up their dinner as best they
can.
