The Care of the Hair.

The hair is the covering OF the roof
of .'the home of thought and palace OF

sometimes occurs in quite young per-
sons. is hereditary. it is doubtful il
anything can be done to prevent or
remedy Il. Avoid restorative" and
other nostrums, and, as rule, do not
use pomatums or oils upon the head.
A certain hair "balm" was very
popular many years ago and did won
ders, If the directions were followed.
The "balm" was to be used night and
morning, first rubbing the scalp with
n stiff brush for five minutes before
applying the stuff. The thorough use
OF n moderately stiff brush will greatly
promote the health OF the scalp and
prevent the falling of the hair without
a .'balm' or other preparation. The
hair should be occasionally washed,
and il there is much dandruif, the yolk
of an egg will be most efficient in re-

Time, to bring il in contact with the
scalp; then wash it out thoroughly with
water. and the hair will he beautifully
clean and soft. Avoid all shampooing
liquids; those used by BARRIERS are strong
potash solutions. They call it ''Salts
of Wormwood" and SALTS Of Tartar"
and use IL without knowing its real
nature. 1t is very effective in cleaning,
but ruinous TO the hair. II the falling
of the hair is not prevented by thorough
brushing, some stimulating application
may be made. Cantharides is most
commonly used. Half an ounce of the
tincture of cantharidcs added to quart
of bay rum will answer better than
most chair tonics."

A Dude ut the Oar.

Last Tuesday, while five of the Pion-

who was half an hour late, we'll
dressed and modest young stranger
strolled into the boat-house and began
inspecting the equipments with great

"Tll tell you what we'll do, fellows"
said the stroke. AS No. isn't coming,

The preparation of this time-honor-

"Oh, get in" said No. 2, winking at

the victim of their kindly scheme to
take off his coat and assume club

''Now. keep your eye on me and try

pulling away manfully with the rest,

stranger did not appear TO be quite so

stroke, with grin, ''try and keep up

But somehow the stranger stretched
along with the rest, and though the
pace was something like forty. six as
they passed Butchertpwn, the victim

He Wasn't a Shoemaker.

An amusing scene occurred in a
Spadina avenue car the other day. One
of its occupants was n very lah-de-dah
fellow indeed, bowling swell, and
evidently only recently arrived from
the old country. The car stopped, and
barrister with his blue bag over his
shoulder got in. Our ''howler' scruti-
nized him for some moments through
his eye-glass, and finally addressed
him thus, the rest of the people in the
car tittering and smiling very audibly
the while. ''Haw! / say--ah-you-I
say, I-aw-want a paiah of boots
made-aw."
The legal gentleman regarded the
other with look on his face that said
as plainly as looks can speak. This

aloud
'.Well, my dear sir, what have | got
to do with your boots?"

"Aw-my good fellah-keep cool, "
know-but-that bag, " know" And
then it dawned on the man of law that
in England shoemakers call on their
customers to try ordered boots on; said
boots being invariably carried in a blue
bag very similar to those in which our
barristers carry-what? And the smile
became general, but the Englishman
wot not why those who laughed did so.

Poetry and Pensions.

The Chairman of the Committee Oh
Harmony then announced his desire 10
submit n report, and being encouraged
by smile ten inches long he read
twelve pages of closely written manu-
script. Waydown Bcbec had for the
last three years done everything in his
power TO bring out and encourage
poets. Several months since Judge
Congo had demanded an investigation,
stating his belief that the principle was
calculated to work evil TO society, and
the matter was turned over to the Har-
mony Committee.
The chairman now reported that he
had personally Investigated several
cases, as follows:
l. William Henry Green, of Indiana,
formerly an industrious mechanic with
money in the bank. Had written three
poems and an idyl, and was now in
jail for stealing giraffe belonging to y
circus.
2. Bradawl Watkins, of Ontario,
formerly one of the best whitewashers
in the civilized world. Had written
two odes and an obituary in verse, and
had been fined $25 for pounding his
wife.
3. Judge Glucose Blindhoof, of Ohio,
formerly II blacksmith earning 50 n
day and having laugh that could be
heard half n mile away. Had only
written four verses on 1.-The Dying
Year" and yet his whole nature SEEM
ed to have undergone a complete
change. Had had three fights with his
neighbors, lost his situation, got drunk
and had applied for divorce.
The chairman said he could give sew
eral further instances of the fendsh
results of Brother Bebec's efforts, but
before he had time to do so, Givedam
Jones presented the following:
RESOLVED, Dat from dis date de Lime
Kiln Club will use cherry means in its
power to discourage de maxim oh poets
and dc producshun of poetry"
Waydown Bebee arose TO begin an
argument, but he was shouted down
and the resolution put TO vote and
carried with whoop.
Samuel Shinn then presented the pc
tition of Liveforever Smith, colored
resident of Detroit, but not a member
of the Lime Kiln Club, who desired tho
club to endorse his application for n
pension from the government for inju-
ries received during the war.
"Brudder Shinn," sternly replied the
president, "you raise the winder and
drop that paper inter dc alley
Samuel obeyed.
