The Care of the Hair.

The hair is the covering of the ROOT
of 1.-The home of thought aud palace
of the SOUL" Where badness, which
sometimes occurs il. quite young per.
sons, is hereditary, it is doubtful il
anything can be done to prevent or
remedy it. Avoid "restoratives, "and
other nostrums, and as a rule do not
use pomatums or oils upon the head.
A certain hair balm" was very popu-
lar many years ago and did wonders
if the directions were followed. The
balm" was to be used night and
morning, first rub the scalp with a
stiff brush for FIVE minutes before ap
plying the stuff. The thorough use
ia moderately sriff brush will great
" promote the health of the scalp,
and prevent the falling of the hair,
without a balm" or other prepar-
alton. The hair should be occasion
ly washed, and if there is much dam
druf, the yolk ofan egg will be most
efficient in removing it. Work the
egg with the fingers well into the
hair, little at a time, to bring it in
contact with the scalp, then wash it
out thoroughly with water, and the
hair will be left beautifully clean and
soft. Avoid all shampoOning liquids;
those used by BARRIERS are strong pot
ash solutions. They call it salts of
Norwood" and "Salts of Tartar"
and use it without knowing its real
nature. 1t is very effective in clean
ing, but ruinous to the hair. 1.-THE
falling of the hair is not prevented BY
thorough brushing, some stimulating
may be made. Canthar-
ides is most commonly used. Half an
ounce of the Tincture of Cantharides
added to a quart Of Bay Rum will
answer better than most Hair tonics."

Tropical Vegetation In CeylOn.

Corner Stone.
Herr Haeckel, in the Letters of
Indian Travel" which he published in
the "Deutsche Rundschau" gives
some glowing descriptions of the
beautiful and curious forms Of tropi-
cal vegetation which he met with in
the forests and jungles and gardens of
Ceylon. Down in the valley away be-
low him; as he journeyed by rail
from Handy to Perdenai, he observed
in the jungles which alternate
with the cultivated lands, towering
above all the other trees, the giant
stems of the talipat palm { C0rgphD
umbrGeuyera),' queen among the
palms of Ceylon." Its perfectly
straight, white trunk resembles a
slender marble pillar, and often rises
a height of more than 100 feet. Each
one Of the fan-shaped leaves of its
stately crown covers a sem.icircle six
teen feet in diameter, or a surface
200 square feet. Numerous applica-
cations are made of the leaves, the
most important, perhaps being for
purposes of thatching. They former.
Iy constituted the only substitute
which the Singlalese had for paper,
and are still used to a considerable
extent for that purpose. The an
cient pllskolo manuscript in the Bud
dhist cloisters were all written with
iron styles on ola-paper, or narrow
strips of talipat-leaveA prepared by
STEPPING and drying thcm. The talipat
blooms but once in it's life, generally
between its fiftieth and eiPbt;;ccttfh year,
The magnificent pyramid of flowers
rises from the top Immediately above
the mass or foliage, to height of
thirty or forty feet, and is composed
of millions Of whitish yellow blooms;
and the tree dies SIS soon as the nuts
are ripe.

the French chemists Pelletier and

now all concerned in the production
Of this most invaluable of remedies.
The commerce of the world has taken

imported into England alone in 1883
was nearly two millions sterling.

Save the Streams.
Monroe Democrat. ]

Monroe democrat.
It has been proved beyond doubt that
the forests near the headwaters and
along the course OF rivers and creeks are
indispensable to a proper supply CT
water, and the Sun does well to sound
the note of alarm. The Importance of
keeping the rivers and creeks and their
tributaries alive cannot be exaggerated,
and this cannot be done if the forests
are allowed to be cut away. Respecting
our own small and lively streams in
Monroe county, the Jeffersonian is right
in protesting against the cutting down
of the trees and bushes, aud thus giving
the sun power to exhaust the sour g
from which these streams derive their
supply Of water. The water power in
this county is worth ten times more
than all the timber and hoop poles that
can be cut within its borders, and should
be jealously preserved. And all who
are interested in preserving the upper
portions of the Delaware river should
discourage whatever tends to exhaust It's
tributaries, even the comparatively few
of them thai flow from this immediate
region. Save the timber and thus safe
the streams.
