Health Hints

some people are disfgured, and are
commonly considered TO be unclean,
by the appearance OF much dandrufi.
Take an ounce Of -four of sulphur,
added to a quart OF soft water. Shake
thoroughly. In t~wenty-four hours
pour off the liquid, washing The head
every other day until relieved.
Onions are considered by LaUS9 Rife
one of the very best of vegetables.
Properly cooked and eaten with care
they are excellent in their sedatiVe
effect oitentimes upon nervous people;
sometimes when eaten raw they will
promote sleep when other things fail =.
Undoubtedly the chief nutritious
element which they contain is sui
phur, and this is one Of the
most important chemical constit-
uents of the body. By all means eat
onions freely if they are not disagree
able.
Sick headache is periodical, comes on
at regular intervals, and is the signal OF
distress which the stomach puts out to
inform us that there is an over alkaline
condition of its fluids; that it needs a
natural acid to restore the battery to its
normal working condition. When the
first symptoms of headache appear, take
a tablespoonful of lemon juice clear,
fifteen minutes before each meal, and
the same dose at bedtime. Follow this
up until all symptoms are passed, TAX
ing no other remedies, and you will soon
be able to go free from this unwelcome
nuisance. Many will object to this be.
cause the remedy is simple; but have
made many cures in this way.

FOR I'LL FAIR SEX.
Fashion Notes.


Feather trimmings are again very
popular.
Kerchieis arc made OF net rather than
Of null for winter wear.
Some OF the new Jersey p~olonaises are
laced down tie back.
Plaid must be waning in favor. It
Is made up crosswise for skirts.
The Quaker dress, fashioned in
America, is n)w adopted in Paris.
The size of tournures is decidedly less
exaggerated than the fashion prophets
made them early in the autumn.
Gowns of black silk and brocade are
almost invariably frightened either
with jet or with cashmere beads.
Very fashionable walking suits are
made of shepherds plaid, in the colors,
combined with a plain dark color.
Cloth jackets matching the costume,
or of cream colored material, are very
stylishly trimmed with plush, which is
used for hood, collar, cuffs and muff.
The richest and most effective hoods
are of black velvet or silk, densely o v
cred with sparkling jet ornaments and
appiiques, and finished at the point Of
the hood in the back with handsome jet
cords and pendants.
Fleece-lined pique, which is so priced
by mothers who dress their children in
white all winter, comes in better quail
ties this season than ever before. The
Marseilles fabric is stouter, and the
back has n warm, heavy fleece like Can
ton flannel. The figures are in flower
and leaf ~brocades, instead of diamonds
and ~honeycombs, and the goods are also
suitable and pretty for children's cloaks
as well as for dresses. Very little trim
ming is needed with these suits.
Walking dresses of cloth are very
fashionable. Very stylish and elegantly
fitting polonaises are also made of this
material, and draped over underskirts
of plush or velvet. Many of the new
over dresses are untrimmed; some are
trimmed with extra wide bands of fur
or plush. A few of the earlier importa-
tons of costumes of cloth were heavily
trimmed, but there seems to be a reac-
tion setting in, and plain unadorned
slightly looped dresses are considered
the most distinguished looking,
The Claudia" is a name given to a
high stylish bonnet for young faces. 1t
is modelled somewhat like a Greek cap,
With high shirred crown and a fall of
rich lace over the hair, and strings to tie
under the chin. Avery pretty capote is
made of pale blue plush, trimmed with
cream. colored lace, and cream-white
ostrich tips. Another style, very simple
and becoming, resembles the hats worn
by the French cuirassiers, and is called
the Zelda" The Gypsy hat for girls
is like a modified poke" bonnet. and
is tied down at the sides in the way the
seaside hats were worn in the sum-
mer.

How AndersonyiIIe Looks,

The A~ndersonville prison has just
been visited by a correspondent, who
found oaks fifteen feet high growing on
part of it, while near the southern limit
was a thrifty cotton field, The caves
in which the men burrowed are all
gone, On the north hill, which sent its
slope down to the south, the ralns Of
fifteen years have carried away their
roofs and have washed the earth away
until they have quilted ravens thirty
feet across at the top, and deep, with
crumbling, perceptions sides. On the
south hill, facing the north, the caves
are marked only by the depressions of
ground where the roofs have fallen. The
hollows have not entirely filled, and
probably never will, now that they are
covered with the meager grass and
weeds of Southern Georgia. The stream
is now a clean brook about four feet
wide and ten inches deep. The sides
which. trodden down by the feet of tens
of thousand OF men daily, were a soggy
quagmire, are gaining solidity, though
still swampy, and in some places impass-
able.

Pulverinatlon Of tho SOIL.

Agricultural soil is that portion of tn
crust OF the earth which is wrought
upon by the skill Of the husbandman,
and consists OF matter from which is de-
veloped suitable plant food to build up
Il perfect vegetable organism. This de-
velopment is carried steadily forward by
climatic influences and other of natures
processes, all Of which may be accele-
rated by blowing, narrowing, and va
rious operations usually practiced by the
intelligent farmer.
Complete pulverization of the soil adj
mits air, moisture, and the genial
warmth of the summers sun. 1t al
lows tender roots to extend them
selves in search Of food, with an equal
pressure upon every part, and is essen
tial to the growth and perfect maturity
of all cultivated crops. 1t increases the
capillary powers of the soil, and drought
or excessive moisture, which would
have been injurious, becomes beneficial
to the crop. 1t also lessons exposure OF
the growing crop TO insect depredations,
diseases and accidents. In q word, it is
q very important matter in the produce
ton of maximum crops or the full de-
velopment OF the natural qualities of the
soil,-A Practical Farnler.

Fashions I'm Gloves,

There has been but one innovation
made in the standard fashions for
gloves, and that is the introduction Of
lace insertions in ladies' gloves. Two
or three rows of half-inch wide lace are
placed between q similar width of the
kid at the wrist. For street and evening
wear, especially when short or elbow
sleeves are worn, the lace top is the
fav, rite. 1t is an ordinary glove of any
number of buttons, with a lace pattern
perforated in the kid for an inch or two
at the edge, making a much mo artis-
tic finish than the ordinary plain band,
The glove with an insertion of lace ex-
tending the length of the wrist is also
one of the most popular gloves worn.
The favorite shades for evening are
flesh, cream, ecru and mastic tints. The
namber of buttons varies with the taste
of the wearer, six to eight being worn
on most occasions. For the street black
is very popular. In colors either q
match for The costume or a contrasting
color is used, old gold, mastic and wood
browns being the favorites. Undressed
kids are extensively worn for mourn
ing. Street gloves have from four to six
buttons generally. AS the weather grows
colder dogskin gloves of a fine quality
are preferred by many to those of kid,
as they are heavier and warmer. They
are made with two, three and four but
tons, and cost $I.75. Kid lined with
lambs wool, with fur tops, is made in
gloves and mittens for winter wear.
They are made in all dark %colors, aud
cost $3.50 a pair. Lined gloves, with
wide gauntlets of seal and beaver for
driving, are also used for the street, and
are SO. so. The castor gloves may be
had in grays, chamois and light brown.
For children lined dogskin and kid and
cashmere gloves are made in the same
colors as those for older persons. New

1t is well known to dealers in dairy
products that the best butter and cheese
are produced in sections where a large
portion of the land is natural pasture,
the natural or wild grasses producing
much richer and better favored milk.
In sections Of country where there are
few natural pastures, and the pastures
are broken up and re.seeded every few
yoars, or when the stock has the run of
swamps and swales, the dairy products
are inferior. The experiment has been
tried satisfactorily of devoting certain
portions of the farm to grazing and in
surfing its continued fertility by an occa-
siona, application of fertilizers, The re-
maindcr of the farm can be subjected to
as thorough a rotation as desired, but
give the COWS the benefit of permanent
pastures for grazing. When this is do1e
a greater variety of grasses can be intro
duced, insuring not only a higher quality
Of product, but under these circum-
stances mich cows will not be compelled
to subsist upon weeds at the risk of
injuring the products. Even our best
farmers are too apt to break up old
pastures, for the purpose of securing the
excellent cop of corr which the thick
turfalways insures,-C Ow try Gentleman.

A Fantastic Pair.

The Figaro states that two phenom-
email specimens of humanity are now
In Paris; one is a giant and the other a
dwarf. The giant named Nlcolai Simon
of, seven feet five inches high, Is q
young Russian of twenty-tour, who
served in the b%ody-guard of the en-
peror Of Russia during the Turkish
campaign. He is one of the one hun
dred and seventy men who forced q
passage across the Danube near Sem
nitza on the 18th of June, 1877, and was
rewarded with the Saint George medal
for his bravery. During the war many
of his companions fell around him while
he escaped unhurt, and as some people
expressed their establishment at the
fact, 1T is very simple" he said; "An
the shots passed between my legs"
Nicolai Simonoff began to grow so enor-
mously only when he was about twenty;
until eighteen he was OF ordinary stat
ure. He had married before joining the
military service, and on his return his
wife, much astonished to see a giant
enter her house as her husband, refused
TO recognize him.
Princess Paulina, the dwarf, is Dutch;
she measures only one foot two inches.
The giant holds her on his stretched-out
palm.

Thu Garden on the Farm

President McGregor of the Oxford
Farmers club, as reported in the Farm
and FireSide, of Ohio, says that we run
too much 10 the great staples, and the
average farmer has u contempt for eggs,
butter, honey, ETC.; he looks upon them
as small, peddling business. The truck
patch will pay in dollars end more In
health. All the interests Of the farm
depend on health, and the road to
health often runs through the truck
patch. At a dish of red raspbefries and
cream the farmer forgets his WEAKNESS.
Apiarists tell us that the egg which
under ordinary rearing produces tho
working bee, if put in a superior cell
and fed on the royal jelly. makes a
queen. So the diet and surroundings Of
our children have much to do with their
characters. Many children have been
injured by ginger snaps and painted
candy, but by extract ofwhite clover
and ripe fruits, never. Many luxuries
nre beyond the reach Of farmers, but
strawberries they car have, and these
he believes to be n means Of grace. He
doubts not that hog-and-hominy has
often been the means OF back.sliding.

Ihe Cotton hIng.

AR. Richardson, Of Cresson, Miss, il
the largest cotton planter in the world,
and is the cotton king Of America. He
has worked hard all his life, and is still
working. He is popular with the
masses, and especially SO with his
colored laborers. He is generally be-
lieved to have accumulated from Sl5,-
OOO,O 600 to $50, DOC, 900, all made in the
South, the poor South. Eight hundred
hands are employed in the factories,
three. fourths of whom are women
gathered from the surrounding country,
good, faithful, industrious and intelli-
gent. The remaining fourth are men
and boys, gathered from various places,
a few from the Moth and a few from
England and Scotland, who work 400
looms and 5000 spindles.
In cotton these mills consume daily
from eighteen to twenty bales, besides
an enormous quantity of wool obtained
mostly from the Florida parishes OF
Louisiana on Lake Pontchartrain. The
prices of the products OF these mills are
kept down to rock bottom, and these
mills being situated in the southern cot
ton belt and in the wool producing dis
tricts, and no freights 10 pay on cotton,
their facilities for buying the raw mate
rial are without doubt unsurpassed and
they can thus undersell all others.
Their savings in freight, having to pay
non at all, amounts to seven or eight
dollars per bale. These goods find a
ready sale in all the large cities.
The mills are now running day and
night, using the Brush electric lights,
making the buildings as bright as day.
The night hands are separate and distinct
from those that work in the day. All
hands work tremendously together.
There has never been a strike or any
threats of such a thing. There is no
colored labor employed, except five men
as firemen. This labor cannot be util-
lied to manage the looms and spindles.
The monotonous humming and droning
OF the machinery, it is claimed, would
invariably soothe the negro to sleep and
let the looms run wild and the spindles
foul. Hence he is not considered avail
able as a laborer in cotton factories.
Cresson is a very thriving town, and its
population orderly and temperate. There
is not a grog shop in the town.-LoatS-

How n BOy was Poisoned,

In one of the public schools OF Brook
lyn, a boy thirteen years old, naturally
very quick and bright, was found to be
growing dull and ftiul, His face was
pale, and he had nervous twitchings.
lie was obliged to quit school. Inquiry
showed that he had become a confirmed
smoker of cigarettes. When asked why
he did not give it up, he shed tears, and
said he had often tried, but could not.
The growth of this habit is insidious,
and its effects %ruinous. The eyes, the
brain, the nervous system, the memory,
the power of application, are all i'm
paired by it. Its nothing but a
cigarette" is really; "it's nothing but
poison" German and French physicians
have recently protested against it. And
a convention of Sunday and secular
teachers was recently held in England
to check it. 1t was presided over by an
eminent surgeon Of q royal eye indrm-
airy, who stated that many diseases OF
the eye were directly caused by it.
Parents, save your children from this
vice, if possible. Do not allow them to
deceive you. In future years they will
rise up and bless you for restraining
them Christian AdrOCGte.

Dog, Bee and Pitcher.

A bee flew into II pitcher that stood
on a doorstep of q house in Boston. A
dog, coming along, saw the bee, and his
head went down into the pitcher after
the insect. The bee made it lively for
the dog, and he could not now withdraw
his head, and the circus began in earnest
The dog howled fearfully and began to
plunge wildly about, and then started
on a mad run down the street. The dog,
being completely blindfolded by the
pitcher, could not guide himself, but got
under the feet Of a stout man, and both
took a roll in the gutter, and the shouts
Of the man, who did not attempt to dis
guise his annoyance, were as loud as the
yells OF the dog. A policeman, coming
up, broke up the pitcher and the show
at the same time.
