l shall be considered unorthodox,
says a writer in the WHitehaH Re7vezv,
when say that next in loveliness of all
the hair l have ever seen comes chew
elure of golden red. Very red hair is
orange, and orange hair is far from
beautiful; but the abundant tresses to
which 1 refer were of the color of per-
fectly white corn, with that reddish
tinge which makes the waving harvest
fields so beautiful. Red hair, even If
unlovely, has its advantages in a prac-
tical age, when a girl or woman dares
not to be Insignificant, "invisible," on
penalty of being nobody. The writer
of little book on the toilet sets forth
as follows one ofthese advantages: CEN
ter room in daylight (by artificial
light red loses much of its ferocity)
where there are women without bonnets
or hats; and if there be one of them
with bright unmistakable red hair, she
will stand out from the rest with never
failing prominence, which, if she be a
pretty woman-and red-haired women
often have great beauty of feature, and
very often lovely complexions-is Of
the greatest advantage to her, socially
speaking.
Another advantage lies in the fact
that the possession of red hair restricts
the owner to narrow but select range
of color. "And you call that an advan-
tage?" cry the phalanx of the red-hair-
ed sisters. Undoubtedly l do, and to
prove it l ask if, in your inmost souls,
you do not adore pink and cherish the
belief that it suits your Of course you
do. l never knew any one of your col
oring who did not. Restriction as to
color, if universal, and regulated on a
basis good taste, would make England
more celebrated than ever for handsome
women or pretty girls, many of whom
now ruin their looks by wearing wrong
tints. And what may the red-haired
wear! Will tell you. If you wish to
be insipid and commonplace, wear pale
blue. That has been the heritage of
the red haired for centuries. If you
would like to jump out of that deepened
groove and wish to look very poem,
buy warm golden browns, orange tinted
yellows, ruddy cream colors, with a
flash as from russet leaves upon them,
terra-cotta, and the whole range ofsuch
tints as are exemplifed in primroses,
buttercups, marigolds, tea-roses, Mar
shall Neils, and Gloire de Dion, chest
nuts browns, chocolate, dull wall1ower
reds, and dull gold color. A beautiful
rousse, who is great favorite in English
society, wears gold band in her hair,
and usually dresses in the evening in
yellow satin or gold covered velvet.
She is picture, indeed, and in her
walking gowns of chocolate, relieved
with amber, or of tawpy red and gold,
is as picturesque woman as one would
wish to meet.

American women do not seem to un-
derstand that they add very mach to
their natural nervousness by living in
darkened rooms. Houses from which
the sun is excluded are not wholesome.
There is always damp, depressing con-
dition in them that makes itself evident
at once to a sensitive temperament.
The minds and bodies of all who live
in such houses are affected by it. Both
health and spirits are depressed. Their
occupants have not only the depressing
effect of the lack of light and seem to
contend against it, but the reaction con-
sequent upon living in unwholesome
conditions. All the rooms in the house
should have both light and sunshine
admitted freely at all times, whether
they are in use or not They are thus
kept sweet, and are in good condition
when wanted. Many a woman and
child has been sacrificed to save the car
pets and keep out the flies. Many a
fit of illness has resulted from the same
cause. Many disappointed cherries
life can be traced to sunless rooms as a
beginning. Multitudes of women and
children are only half living to-day be-
cause half fed. Sunshine and light and
air are as much food for the body and
soul as the fruits and grains and vege-
tables that we take into our stomachs; /;
and we cannot get surfeit of them as
of food. The more we have of them
the better. Open your windows wide,
then, my sisters, and let the sun, that
always carries health in its rays, have
free access to every part of your homes.
Screens will keep out the flies, and if
you have occasion to temper the heat
of the sun, use white curtain that can
be rolled up or down at will.

For the Boys.

The Vide Aavake gives the following
story which is all the better for being
true: Two men stood at the same table
in A large factory in Philadelphia. work
ing at the same trade. Having an
hour for their nooning every day, each
undertook to use it in accomplishing a
definite purpose; each perservered for
about the same number of months, and
each won success at last. One of these
two mechanics used his daily leisure
hour in working out the invention of a
machine for saving block of wood in
TO almost any desired shape. When
his invention was complete, he sold the
patent for fortune, changed his work
mans apron for broadcloth suit and
moved out of tenement house, into a
brown-stone mansion. The other man
what did he do? Well, he spent an
hour each day during most of year in
the very difficult undertaking of teach
ing little dog to stand on his hind feet
and dance ajig, while he played the
tune At last accounts he was working
ten hours day at the same trade and
at his old wages, and finding fault with
the fate that made his fellow workman
rich while leaving him poor. Leisure
minutes may bring golden grain to mind
as well as purse, if one harvests wheat
instead of chaff.

Hints for Housewives.

So much information about everything
is now so easily obtainable that there
is little excuse for enduring many of the
small domestic worries to which house
keepers and others are often subjected.
Why, for instance, need any one be in
convenienced by damp cupboards, when
we read that bowl of quicklime placed
therein will speedily absorb the mois-
ture? Some of us are nervous about
the beds not being we'll aired, and yet
we have only to fill large stone bottle
with boiling water and put into the bed,
pressing the bolster and pillows round
it in heap. By this simple contriv-
ance, it is comforting to learn no one
need fear giving a friend a damp
bed, even if this is done only once a
fortnight.
Flies are familiar nuisance; but we
are told of a remedy in laural oil, which,
better than glass fly y-catchers, and Others,
| will not only rid us of these pests, but
preserve the looking-glasses and pic.
ture- frames when coated with it. Jane,
the, "kclp," should derive satisfaction
from the assurance that beetles may be
efectually got rid of by sprinkling once
or twice on the floor mixture of pure
carbolic acid and water, one part to ten.
1t is not frequenters of restaurants
only who wonder why the simple pre-.
caution of throwing red pepper pods or
few pieces of charcoal into the pan,
said to prevent odors from boiling ham,
cabbage, etc., is not oftener observed.
Cooks are further reminded that in
roasting meat, salt should not be put
upon the joint before it is put in the
oven, as salt extracts the juice; and that
lime-water will improve the condition
of old potatoes in boiling.
Eggs could be purchased with greater
confidence if the German method of
preserving them by means of silicate of
soda was generally followed. A small
quantity of the clear syrup solution is
smeared over the surface of the shell.
On drying, thin, hard, CLASSY film re-
mains, which serves as an admirable pro.
lection and substitute for wax, oil,
gums, etc.
Economy in housekeeping would be
facilitated by the better observance of
what are known in common parlance
as 'wrinkles." For example, why pur-
chase inferior nutmegs when their quail
ity can be tested by pricking them with
pin? If they are good, the oil will in
stantly spread around the puncture. 1t
is worth recollecting that bar soap
should be cut into square pieces and put
in dry place, as it lasts better after
shrinking. If we wish to keep lemons
fresh for some time, we have only to
place them in jar of water and change
every morning. In selecting flour, we
are advised to look to the color. If it is
white with yellowish straw-color tint,
we should buy it; but if it is white with
a blush cast or with black specks, we
should refuse it.

Hi Temper.

If people generally knew what an ad :
vantage to them it was to be cheerful,
there would be fewer sour faces in the
world and infinitely less ill-temper. A
man never gains anything by exhibiting
his annoyance by his face, much less by
bursting into passion. AS it is neither
manly nor wise to yield like a child
pettishly to every cross, so it is alike
foolish and absurd to allow feeling of
anger to deprive US of self-cantrol.
There never was man in any contro-
versy who lost his temper who did not
come near losing his cause in conse-
quence. If ever person plays the
game of his enemies it is when he is in
a passion. Acquaintance shun men OF
proverbially ill-temper; friends drop
away from them; even wives and chill
dren gradually learn to fear them more
than to love. Thousands OF men owe
their want of success in life to neglect
ing the control of their temper. Nor
have they the excuse that it is an mfr
nifty which cannot be restrained; for
Washington, though naturally of most
passionate disposition, disciplined him.

impassive. No man who neglects his
temper can be happy any more than he
can make those happy around. Good
is gold, is beyond price. But temper
is curse to the possessor and to society,
