Badness ia frequently hereditary,
and is ofttimss oceasioned by sickness.
That which follows illness will Rener-
ally cure itself IL the SCALP is kept
clean by washing IL with cold water
several times daily, and using friction
to the bald spots with the palms Of the
hands, ends OF the aDgers and coarse
cloth. II this does lot promote the
growth OF the hair nothing will. Theus-
ands OF dollars are yearly expended
In lotious that guarantee cures for
badness.
There are numerous preparations
which may stimulate the scalp some
what, but time will do the same thing
better. II the scalp 10 covered with
fnrls, the hair will grow again; ifit Is
shiny nothing eau make 1t grow, be-
cause the roots Of the hair.
A COED head Of hair Is matter Of
inheritance; TO preserve II is q matter
OF cleanliness Of the scalp--suoh clean
linsss as results from bathing 1t in
cold, soft water, and the use of the
brush to keep away dandruf.
As horse looks sleek and shiney II
we'll groomed daily, so II the scalp Is
cared for In such way as TO keep
II free from unnatural accumulations,
Iit will pe glossy and attractive. The
manner In which the hair Of children
10 taken csrs Of, from the age OF three

and beauty In after years. 1t should
DO kept short, and tie ends cut every
month. The fashion Of sraiding tight
ly little girls hair, that 1t msy wave
when undons destroys Its vigor and
intsrfsrss with the health Of the child.
Considering that the hair Of wo-
man adds more than any thing else to
her native attractiveness, 1t Ia to be re-
grettsd that 80 many unwise practices
are carried on, which impair the quail
| ity and interfere with its growth.
The yellow hair dyes which have
been used during the last few years,
when silly women have striven to alter
their oomplsxisns with cosmetics, have
ruined many heads Of hair that were
luxurisnt. besides causing troublesome
nervous affections. The oontortions
and distortions In hair-dressing, which
load the head with hais- pins and break
aft and strain the hair, will soon spoil
the best growth OF hair.
The head should pe washed once .

which teAspoonful Of ammonia may be
added to every pint of water. After
rincing thoroughly and wiping, brush
cut the hair thoroughly, taking small
pieces Of hair at q time, and beginning
brushing at the ends. After the hair
has hung till perfectly dry. II should
be brushed again till perfect

The bald spot which so many have
on tine crown Of the head Ia caused by
the hair drawing on 1t and everlasting
it. The nrst spot to grow thin of hair
on mems heads Ia that on the crown.
1t should be keptsvery clean and daily
bathed and rubbed.
The hair grows about half an inct
during the month, some what faster in
summer than In winter. tits strength

Gray hairs sometimes come prema,
turely by inheritance or by great trou-
BILE, or are caused by the use Of water
impregnatsd with lime.
Lime-water makes the hair harsh
and brittle. II this Is the cause of its
turning, rain or distilled water should
be drank and used for making tea OF
coffee.
Sometimes the color can be restored

morning, using the following prepara-
tion: Half pint OF bay rum, half a
pint Of best brandy, and half pint OF
best sweet oil. Shake we'll and apply
