Care OF Little Girls Hair.

1t is the opinion of several down-tow doc
tors that women not only rob themselves but
their children of the best part of their hair,
simply because they don't know how to use
comb or brush. When the hair is loose and
smooth use the fine end of the comb and let
each application touch the scalp. Comb the
hair in every dlrection-right, left, up, back,
down, from the poll and ears forward, part
ing it at dozen different lines from ear to
ear. The brush may be OF metal or bristle
so long as it Is in Intelligent hands. Have
towel at hand and wipe off the brush after
every few applications. Brush little tresses
at time il you would keep less hair In the
brush than on the head. While short it Is
better to let the hair hang loosely. When
started for the final growth braid it In one or
two strands, but not tightly. Always fasten
the ends with combings, as string,
cord or elastic will certainly cut the
hair. Don't try to crimp your lit
tie daughters hair. To be sure it
has the appearance of just doubling the
thickness ard tickling the vanity Of the little
girl, as well as warming tho pride Of her
mother, but at the same time ii breaks Off the
individual hairs and keeps them Of an uneven
length for years.
The heavy heads of hair that many little
girls are made to carry, just because it Is the
fashion, or because some proudmother "hates
to cut it of" is not frequently the cause of
nervous diseases and general III health. Eight
or ten inches Of hair is too hot in summer, too
great a strain on the nerves in the winter,
and in nineteen cases out Of twenty SO ilnpov-
erishes the hair cells that the product is ever
afterwari very frugal Medical works on
the subject are full of instances in which
twitching Of the facial muscles, Saint Vitus'
dance, weakness of the nerves OF the eyes,
and various nervous troubles can be traced
to heavy name which some little one has
been burdened with through the weakness Of
her father and the vanity Of her mother.

Escape the Ola Folly.

Let our girls have as regular daily duties
as our boys Let idleness be forbidden them
Let recreation be indeed recreation, at proper
times and in proper quantities Let us open
more numerous avenues of female industry
and let ever women be clothed with the
dignity of useful life Can such a reforma-
ton be brought abouti My dear madam, be-
gin 1t yourself. Rule your household on this
principle. Have the courage to defy fashion
where It opposes. DO bold leader in this
reform, and you will soon see a host of fol-
lowers glad to escape from the old folly.

To succeed In Dressing Well

Nine-tenths of a dress is in the fit; IL 1t is
good it will redeem 25-cent rep; II poor, it
will ruin satin de Lyon. The best way to
get a perfect waist is to patronize man
dressmaker or a fashionable modiste, whose
services may be secured for slS or S25, ac-
cording to the fabric used and the style OF
dress desired. If the aid Of these artists Is
beyond the reach of the average woman.
there is one thing she can do-go and buy q
pattern, put her wits to work, and persevere
until the bodice fits The task Is not diff
cult one il she will but remember that she
will have to have dresses all her natural life,
and once a fit is secured the trial is over.
1t may be advantageous to know that for q
fcw dollars a tailor will take her measure and

Old Rags for Glucose.

Sugar is now manufactured in Ger
many from old rags. The rags are
treated with sulphuric acid, and con-
verted into dextrine. This is treated
with milk Of lime, and is then sub
jected to new bath of sulphuric acid,
which converts it into glucose. The
glucose obtained by this process is
identical with that of commerce, and
may be used in the same way for con-
fections, ices, etc.

NED'S SUGGESTION.

Asked 3-year-old Ned Of me,
As he leaned DER the dainty cradle
His ''new little sister, to see.

answered, and he smiled,
Then softly bent his curly head,
And kissed the sleeping child.
But a sudden change came over him,
And he said, "If I'd been you.
While was about it, mamma,
I'd have caught the angel, tool"

THE COWBOYS TALE.

Are there no real good Injunsf"
The cowboy raised his head,
And glancing at the tenderfoot
lie turned to him aud said:
81 rode the prairies, pardner,
Ten years i'll rain or sun,
But as to real good Injuns,
haint met more'n one.
A swig o that horse liniment,
And then I'll try to place
This A virtuous redskin
That for goodness trumpcd the ACC.
Twas at the bar Of Mack's Ford,
A lot Of boys one day
Got to making things quite lively
In a ball and cartridge way
l banged around about me
And didn't count the Odds
I'd been soakin' electricisty
Like fifty lightning rods
When suddenly the sheriff
And his gang came bounding down,
And the boys took to their cattle
And busted out O. town.
But something was the matter
With my headworks, l dare say,
For stumbled by the roadside
And couldn't find my way.
And the next can remember
Ii was night and pitchy black,
And l tried to strike the trail from there
But couldn't hit track,
And / was mighty dizzy,
And felt should have died,
When standing just before me
An lnjun's shape spied.
He held his hands out to me,
But didn't say word;
And when tried to hail him
He neither spoke nor stirred.
And then l slipped in somehow
Between each sturdy arm,
And he let me down so gentle
Without a bit o. harm.
And lay there quite contented
And slept until twas day,
And woke to find him watching
At my side the same old way.
So climbed upon my uprights,
End word couldn't say,
But looked the red man in the face,
And then--l sneaked away.
We parted. But, as years pass by,
wcnder more and more
If still that real good lnjun stands
At Mack's tobacco store.

version the first trip, with those
prejudiced against the franchisement
of woman, but she will at least give
them something to ponder over for

strong and couched in persuasive
and beautiful language. She is a

her audience for two hours. On the
political question of the day Mrs,
Cougar need not take a back seat
for any man or woman. No phase
of the situation escaped her observa-
tion, and she presented them in a
light that could not well be misun-
derstood. While she is Republi-
can and advocates the election of
Blaine and Logan, she does not fail
to deal with the faults of that party
and its leaders as fearlessly as those
of other political organizations. She
says what every thinking man or wo-
man knows, that either Blaine and
Logan or Cleveland and Hendricks
will be the next occupants of the
white house. How any lover of his
country can hesitate for one moment
in making his choice she could not
comprehend. She drew a striking
contrast between the brilliant James
G.. Blaine and the scducer and liber-
tine who is pitted against him in
this presidential race. The daring
deeds as a warrior and statesman of
General Logan, were aptly compared
with those of his opponent who was
anything but loyal to his country in
time of need, and said he had not
changed since that eventful period
in our existence. She said the Pro
hibitiou party acted the biggest
coward of all toward woman, for
they were the leading spirits in their
late convention; acknowledged by
all to have brought forward the
great temperance reform, still the
members of that convention refused
to endorse woman suffrage in their
platform, and relegated the subject
to the several states. She said that
prohibition could not be accomplish
ed until woman was given the bal
lot, and never would be enforced
without woman behind it. She ex-
horted all lovers of their country at
this time to stand by the Republican
party, the party of progress that
would accomplish all reform as fast
as possible Republicaa Observer.

In an article on the low price Of
wheat the st. Louis Republican
makes some observations which are
as applicable to farmers throughout
the west as to those of Missouri. 1t
says: "lhe present grain crop Of
Missouri will have to be sold at un-
usually low prices, it is true, but it
is an unusually large crop; there is
more of it than ever before, and it
is probable it will bring into the
state nearly as much money as any
previous crop. Another fact to be
considered is that all other things
are as low in comparison as wheat
and corn-sugar cents lower than
usual, coffee cents lower, and cot
ton and wooden goods, clothing,
shoes, blankets, hardware, tools, har-
ness and farm implements ! 5 to %
per cent. lower-so that the Missouri
farmers low-priced crop this year
will go about as far in purchasing
the low-priced necessalies that he
requires as his high-priced crop of
1880 did"
