Stvlcs In Hair Dressing.

Hair dressers are beginning to com
plain Of the prevailing styles. They say
that the fashion Mrs. Langtry introduce
cd Of wearing the hair drawn back in Il
small knot at tho back Of the head and
fluffy in front has takcn away all the
profit they once derived from their call
ing. Elaborate cOiffeurs are no longer
the fashion. Extreme simplicity is now
in vogue. Nothing shows off we'll
formed head or pretty face SO well as
this simple and natural way Of wearing
the hair. 1t is parted very accurately
in the middle and the knot is worn low
on the neck, so that tho full shape Of the
head is revealed. The bang has gone
out OF fashion and in its place our the
flutfs OF course, this arrangement is
very trying to ugly faces. Many women
pass as beauties simply on account Of
tueir hair, and to them the present fash
ion is very obnoxious. They eyade it
by having braids Of twisted coils at the
back coming up well on the head and u
very fluffy fringe in front. The wig
makers, however, have made money.
The majority Of ladies do not care to
cut their hair 80 as to make it fluff up
in front, and very few have hair that is
available for this style Of face decoration.
Therefore, the wigmakers provide the
fringes with tho exact shade of the hair,
and they make 1t so natural that it is
| impossible to detect where nature leaves
off and art begins.

DeatI, on the Ocean.

A terrible memorial of the recent
dreadful loss of the steamship Navarro
was fished up few days ago by a
smack, whose people found in their
trawl the bodies of man and woman
tied together, with their eyes bandaged.
Probably the mysterious deep never
yielded up a secret more shockingly sug-
gestive then these corpses. Whether
the man and woman were married
couple, OF swceharts, or brother and sis
ter, we know not; but their bodies, fast
ened together in death, tell a moving
story of devotion, just as their bandagcd
eyes convey q most pathetic picture Of
resolution and anguish. In the wreck Of
the Cimbria it will be remembered that
the survivors spoke Of seeing some of
the emigrants at the last moment cut
ting their throats to shorten the final
struggle. Most narratives Of disaster at
sea contain passages Of this kind, tell
ing how those who seemed Of q shrink.

Medical Value of Vegetables.

Asparagus Is strong diuretic. and
forms part of the cure for rheumatic
patients at such health resorts as AK
les-Bains. Sorrcl is cooling, and forms
the staple of that scope aW heroes which
Il French lady will order for herself af-
ter a long and firing journey. Carrots,
as containing a quantity Of sugar, are
avoided by some people, while others
complain Of them as indigcstible. With
regard to the latter accusation, it may
be remarked, in passing, that it is the
yellow core that is difficult of digestion
the outer, a rcd layer, is tender
enough. IN Savoy the peasants have
recourse to IN infusion of carrots as IL
specific for jaundice. The large sweet
onion is very rich in these alkaline elc-
mcnts which countcract the poison of
rheumatic gout. If slowly stewcd in
weak broth, and eaten with Il little
Nepaul pepper, it will be found to be an
admirable article Of dict for patients Of
stndious and scdentary habits.
The stalks Of the caulit0wcr have the
same sort of value, only too often the
stalk Of a ctuliflowcr is SO ill-boilcd and
unpalatable that few persons would
thank you for proposing to them to make
part OF their meal consist Of 50 uninvit-
ing an article. Turnips, in tho same
way, are often thought to be indigesti-
bic, and better suited for cows and sheep
than for delicate people; but here the
fault lies with the cook as much as with
the root. The cook boils the turnip
badly, and then pours some butter over
it, and the eater of such u dish is sure
to be the worse for it. Try q better
way. What shall be said about our let
tuce? The plant has a slight narcotic
action, Of which French old woman,
like a French doctor, will know the
value, and when properly cooked it is
really very easy of digestion.

The advantages Of oiled and shellac-

There are people i'll with pneumonia at

the larger operations begin. You can
have pictures lifted from the walls, the
glass rubbed off with whiting and the
frames rubbed with linseed oil, and all
stored away in a spare room out of the
dust and away from the walls on some
previous day. The walls do not get as
much attention, otherwise, as they
should. Take down all curtains, shades
and RmDrequinS, and wipe and beat
thoroughly, getting them previously
out of the way. Then take up your
carpets, and clean your walls. Brush
papered walls with soft towel around

ent, destroyed themselves, while others,
with folded arms and contracted brows,
stood motionless upon the sinking hull,
going to their death like men lost in
thought.
One Of the most pathetic stories in the
language Is the account OF the loss Of
the Kent East Indiaman by fire in 1926,
for the reason that q hundred particu-
lars are introduced by the writer relat-
ing to the behavior Of the people when
all hope was abandoned and death SEEM
ed inevitable. We read of the little
children who, when the flames had mas
tered the ship, and all was uproars and
horror on the deck, Continued to play
as usual with their toys in bed, or to put
the most innocent and 2 'unseasolia be
questions to tliose around tllpln;', Of d
young military officer removing from
ms writing desk lock of hair, and plac-
ing it in his bosom, that he might die
with that sweet keepsake upon his heart;
OF another writing a few lines to his
father, and enclosing it in a bottle, Gin
the hope that it might eventually reach
it's destination, with the view, as he
started, OF relieving him from the long
years OF fruitless anxiety and suspense
which our melancholy fate would
awaken"; of the older soldiers and sail
ors seating themselve, over the fore
hatch under which wax the magazine,
SO that they might be instantly destroy
ed when the powder caught first; of cow
ards drinking themselves insensible or
writhing in their terror upon''th decks;
OF young girls praying calmly amid a
Meelmg crowd Of brave men standing
collcctedly with their eyes on the setting
sun, whose light they never hoped to see
again. 1t is IL wonderful and thrilling
picture, and how often has it been re-
peated since in other ways and amid
other seasl The last is not, indeed, the
worst, but it is among the worst. The
Navarro is but one of scores of ships
which have gone to their doom Offering,
before they took the final plunge, the
most dreadful of all pictures of human
anguish ; but the suffering she embodied
seem to survive yet: ,:even in death, when
we hear of those two corpses tied to-
gether coming to the surface, with their
eyes blindfolded, and when we endeavor
to realize by those devoted, silent wit
ncsses from the bed of the ocean some
thing Of the terror and the resolution,
the fear and the courage, the wild des-
pair and the passionate supplication to
Heaven which made up the picture of
that as Of all other wrecks of Il similar
nature.

With the rainbows miraculous beams, -

The deep rivers roll to tho main,
And the sca-winds above them have chanted
Weird poems of passion or pain.

To tho gathering waters unfold
The infinite grief of the ocean
