Hints About Hair.

Hair wears lighter, and is changed by
p~erspiration; hence, in selecting false
hair, it should be dark enough to begin
with. The hair on the temples and
forehead is lighter than that further
back, and to be well matched requires
lighter additional hair that that chosen
for q switch. Brushingi is the best slim
ulant for the hair, and should be done
twice a day; fifty strokes in the morn
ing, and again in the evening. passing
the hand over the hair occasionally he-
tween strokes, is commended by ladies
who have retained handsome hair be-
yond middle age. The ends of the hair
should be clipped nee a month to keep
it thick and even. To do this thor
oughly, the hair should be taken up in
tresses. and q comb drawn through zach
tress. beginning at the ROOF and doab-
ling the hair around the comb, so that
in passing the short ends will be seen,
and can be clipped. To prevent the
hair falling out after an illness. sir
inches should be cut of each month.
The cheap hair of which so much is sold
is usually ~unwholesome stuff; it is not
always real hair, and. if genuine. is not
taken from the heads of living persons;
finally, it does not prove to be cheap.
for it is unclean, easily mats and snarls.
and is so brittle that it does not e
well. or else SO stiff that Il is unwieldy;
hence it is not cheap ut any price. To
test the quality of the hair, rub the ends
of the switch between the fingers, and.
if good, it viii fall away out Of the hand
entirely; but If of inferior quality, il
viii snarl and mat together. A micro
scope may also be used to show If the
ends of the hair are turned the wrong
wey,-Hayper's Bosay.

The Mysteries OF Mining.

81 wish Won would tell me all about
the way men get gold and silver out ofa
mine, my dear" said a lady in East
Laramie the other evening to her hus-
band, as he peeled off his coat and sat
down in three chairs for the evening.
"Well, what kind of mine do you
wish to hear about; gold or silver.
quartz or placer, deposit or defined
lead?"
well all of them briefly. l want
to know whether they scrape Off the
gold from under the side of the ground,
and wash the dirt OF in the creek, or
how is it?"
well, they don't scrape off the un-
der side OF the ground exactly. There
you are in error. In placer mining they
have to collect the dust and pan it out
with u gold pam"
"Oh. they have to use n gold pan. do
they? That must be what makes min
ing so expensive. Does the pan have
to be solid gold?"
mo. 1t isn't made of gold. It is
simply to pan gold, hence the name.
In quartz mining the prospector finds.

of a~scertaining how extensive it is and
what it will assay"

Some Advice TO Young Men.

This is the season when thousands of
young men ali over the country arc be-
ginning to worry themselves as 10 the
future. The number of those who viii
be able to follow precisely the vocation
they would prefer is probably limited.
A man who has naturally n very strong
bent toward a particular vocation is
generally best in it. and it is expedient
TO avoid, if possible, one which is re-
pugnant- st the same time il is a mis-
take to conclude that success is only to
be attained in the direction to which we
naturally incline. Experience is to the
contrary. In his very brief and inter-
esting autobiography Sir Benjamin
Brodie, the chief English surgeon of his
day, saws that people often said to him.

Tides and Drawn Work.

There is a newspaper story Of a man
who in his last illness had the strength
in an unguarded moment to spring out
of bed, seize a tidy and trample it I'M
der foot as q final expression of his
hatred of such articles. To lei who
have exposed themselves to the jeers OF
the populace 10y appearing on the street
with tides hung on to the back buttons
of their coats. and who have been
tortured in other ways by those scraps
of silk and wool with which housewives
plaster their furniture, this feeling will
be perfectly Ineligible. Otherwise
there is a great deal of fault TO be
found with most people'sideas of tides.
As the name implies, neatness is the
first object to be secured in 8 tidy. 1t
follows as a matter of course that = tidy
should be of some material that a be
washed
For ordinary chairs and old-fashioned
rocking-chairs, the best tidy is that
out of tidy cotton. The
thickness of the work offers the best
protection, aud it laundries perfectly.
The best tidyfor arocking- chair is knit
double, and this, it is urged. should be
provided for the chair of the master OF
the house. as it needs no sort of pins
and cannot be dragged off By any con-
venient button. A chain is made the
width of the chair-back and knit around
and around, making an oval, say an
inch and a half wide. A chain is then
knit. enclosing the projecting frame of
the back, and a similar chain made on
the other end. Crochet plain as be-
fore for a little distance below, and
then introduce the pattern and crochet
rs long as desired, finishing with 3
fringe. When finished the tidy will
slip down over the chair and need no
further fastening.
The squares OF white and ecru guipure
lace for tides are now sold most rea-
sonably. and there are many ladies who
can make them handsomely. There are
no more suitable tides than these, but
it is 3 great mistake to make them up
with silk and satin. for the simple rea-
son that they cannot be washed. Pom
gee silk. however, is admirable for this
purpose. as it launiries well. But even
prettier are the squares of sheer linen.
Both these and the silk can be embroid-
cred in English crewelS, with q simple
spray or flower in each square, and
there is nothing pretsier.
Java canvas, which is cotton and de-
lightful to work on, makes pleasant
tides. This is embroidered in cross
stitch or Holbein stitch. and Is very e.
fective. In the centers of these flowers
or figures are equally adapted IS an or
