if anv treatment can be of use. Where
the hair has fallen on account of severe
illness or from other temporary cause,
some gentle stimulent TO the scalp pro-
notes or hastens the growth. One OF
the most useful preparations of this kind
is half an ounce of the tincture OF can
tharides kept by the druggists to
quart bottle Of bay rum, using this upon
the scalp with gentle rubbing on going
to bed. When the barber kindly in
forms his patient that his hair is very
badly filed with dandruf and proposes
to shampoo it as remedy, it is safe to
say mo" most positively; the majority
of BARRIERS use as a shampooing liquid
either a solution of salts of tartar alone
or mixed with borax. They are probably
not aware that salts of tartar is but an
other name for purified potash. When
solution of this kind is put on the
head il combines with the natural oil of
the hair and scalp, and forms Il soap
which makes dense lather in the hair;
this is washed out. and while ii effect
ually removes the dandrufr and dust, II
has also removed the oil which is needed
TO keep the hair in a healthy condition.
Avoid all such shampooing. 4 teaspoon
ful of powdered borax in quart of wa
ter form safe shampooing liquid, but
still better is the yolk of an egg,
worked thoroughly into the hair, little
at a time, and then washing il out. The
egg will leave the hair surprisingly clean
and the scalp soft and free from dam

Bob" Toomb,' Brass Band.

heard of the famous oak in front of the
chapel, and in connection with il will
relate an anccdote Of Bob Toombs, show
inc his impetuous, irresistible nature,
which so characterized him in his after
life.
ToombS had been attending college
two years, and was within two weeks of
graduating. when, in difficulty, he
stabbed one of the students, intlcting a
serious but not fatal wound. For this
act he was expelled by the faculty, who
soon after were petitioned by the gradu-
ating class TO allow him to finish with
them rs he had so nearly completed his
course. and had also been given speak
er's place. Tuombs himself peiitioned
them, but both were refused. lie appar-
emily submitted, but on commencement
day. when the chapel was crowded with
visitors and the seniors yehemently orat-
ing preparatory TO receiving their diplO-
mas, he stationed brass band under the
spreading limbs of tine oak, whose music
succeeded in bringing scores of town
people, who were not then in the chapel,
also of clearing it of nearly all its audi
ence.
Then in as cool manner as possible,
he placed himself in chair and made
an oration, such, il is said, as was never
spoken by student here before or since.
He never received his diploma, though
after his celebrated Boston speech it was
sent him, but was returned with the an
swer: "D-n the diploma; when it would
have been an honor to me | was refused

ciled with the faculty, and is now one of

The Care OF the Hair.
American Agrlculiuralisl


some forty years ago when there was
introduced preparation called balm
of Columbia" !" which, when used accord
ing to the directions, produced remark
able results in preventing the hair from
falling off. and even causing new crop
to grow. Certificates might have been
obtained from several excellent ana
eminent persons who within the writer 5
knowledge used this balm" with good
results, had not the maker lived in Eng
land. The directions were essentially
these:
Before going to bed rub the seal p with
a stiff brush for I've think it was) ten
minutes. apply the "balm," rub some
more minutes and go to bed.
The whole efficacy of the balm, was
due TO the ten minutes scrubbing of the
scalp before it was applied. II the stun
had been water, though il was no doubt
some soothing application, itwould, with
all this rubbing, have done some good.
Ii will be found that most Of the appli-
cations for preventing badness and en-
couraring the growth of the hair depend
upon either q vigorous rubbing OF the
scalp, or thew are preparations which
are to be first rubbed well into the
hair and then washed ont, thus securing
the cleanliness so essential to healthy
condition. Let any one with naturally
dry hair try a persistant brushing with a
stiff brush, or the use of a fine-toothed
comb for some minutes, and unless there
is some disease Of the scalp. the hair will

Cradle Songs.


The most popular of German lullabies
is a truly Teutonic mixture of piety
wonder.love. and homeliness. Wagner
has introduced the music to which it is
sung into his "Siegfried ldyll.' We have
to thank Heidelberg friend for the
text:
sleep baby, sleep;
Your father tends the sheep
Your mother shakes the branches small
Whence happy dreams In showers fall
sleep, baby, sleep.
"sleep baby, sleep;
The sky is full OF sheep.
The stars the lambs of heaven are,
For whom the shepherd moon doth care;
sleep baby, sleep;
The Christ Child owns sheep
lie \ himself the Lamb of God
The world to save to death he Irod.
Sleep, baby, sleep
In Denmark children are sung to sleep
with a cradle hymn, which is believed
(so we are informed by youthful cor
respondent) to be very old II has
seven stanzas, of which the first runs:
"sleep sweetly, little child; lie quiet and
still; as sweetly sleep as the bird in the
wood, as the flowers in the meadow.
God and Father has said, angels stand
and watch where mine, the little ones,
are in bed
A correspondent at Warsaw still more
youthful sends us the even song of Polish
children:
"Ihe stars shine forth from the blue sky;
How great and wondrous Is Gods might
Shine stars, through all eternity,
His witness In the night.
"oh, Lord, Thy tired children keep,

Our Form of Dress.

How did We come to possess our pres
ent form of dress? This is one of the
many questions answered by reviewer
in the Nature. Clothing at first was
almost entirely ornamental. The ex.
ceptions were such articles as belts from
which instruments of various kinds could
be suspended SO as to be ready for use
while the hands were left free. A savage
does not enjoy the luxury of a pocket.
Even NJ the present day a japanese has
to sling his tobacco pipe and pouch from
his belt, and the only pockets he has are
in his sleeves. The simple cincture was
the germ, SO to speak, of the clothing we
wear. After some time a bunch Of pan
danus slips was added in front, and this
was complete fringe around the body.
When the arts become so far advanced
that man could make paper cloth of
some woven material, these latter substi-
tuted for the primitive fringe, and the
kilt was thus developed. Curiously
enough the dress of the Scottish High
landers embodies these two stages of
progress in the kilt and the sporan. As
man advanced there were inconvenien-
ces attending the use of the kilt, which
were abated by fastening that garment
at one point between the legs, and the
human mind was then fairly set upon
the path to arrive at the attainment of
pair Of trousers When the back and
shoulders needed protection, the savage
used the skin Of some animal, and it is
from this sort of covering for the upper
part of the body that We have derived
our coats, vests, shirts, etc. But the
ancient cloak form is even yet retained.
not only by such people as Zulu chiefs,
but in all robes of ceremony by dignit-
aries of court and college Of the most
highly civilized nations on the face of
the earth. The elaborate and varied
head coverings of the present day all
sprang from very simple, original
tvpe.
