Vow to Drive Your Husband Away
-. From Home.

Henpeck him. Snarl at him. Find
faEit with him. Keep an untidy house.
Humor him half to death. Boss him
out of his boots. Always have the last
word. Be extra cross on wash day.
Quarrel with him over trifes. Never
have meals ready in time. Run bills
without his knowledge. Vow venge-
nee on all his relations. Let him sew
the buttons on his shirts. Pay no at
tention to household expenses. Give
as much as he can earn in a month fc,
a new bonnet. Tell him as plainly as
possible that you married him for a
living. Raise a row if he dares to bow
pleasantly to an old lady friend. Pro-
vide any sort of pickup meals for him
when you do not expect strangers. Get
everything the woman next door
gets, whether you can afford it or not.
Tell him the children inherit all then
mean traits of character from his side
of the family. Let it out sometimex
when you are vexed that you wish you
had married some other fellow that
you used to go with, Give him tc
understand as soon as possible after
the. honeymoon that kissing is well
enough for spoony lovers, but that for
married folks it is very silly.-Presby.

Physical Perfection of the P%olynesians.

All writer's agree that physically the
Polynesians are among the finest look
ing races on the globe. Their average
height is about three inches greater than
that of Europeans, and their limbs are
shapely and muscular. The men are
rather superior to the women, who,
though attractive in childhood, incline
to grow too stocky at maturity. Their
complexion varies from an almost
European fairness to a dark brown,
with occasionally a yellow or olive
tint. The head bears a heavy crop of
hair, which is usually black, with a
tendency to curl. The growth is small
on the face and other parts of the
body, and is carefully plucked out.
The o is apt to be long and aqui-
line, but distigured by a hatness at the
extremity. The mouth is we'll shapen
and displays teeth of a pearly white
ness. The shape of the head differs
little from that of Europeans. The
wide range Of physical variation which
has been. noticed among these island
ers, which at first view suggests mix
ture of race, is due probably to their
relatively high development. which
always tends to hfferentiate men, to
the extent of their domain, and the in
frequent communication between it's
parts. Only on the Border of Melane-
STA are we to think of intermixture Of
races.-AmcrScan Antiquarian.

Bill Nye's Philosophy.

To the young the future has a roseate
hue. The roseate hue ONE high, but
we have to use it in this place. To the
young there spreads out a glorious
range of possibilities. After the youth
has endorsed for an intimate friend a
few times, and purchased the paper
at the bank himself later on, the hori-
zon won't seem to horizon so tumultu-
ously as it did aforetime. l remember
at one time of purchasing such a piece
of accommodation paper at a bank,
and l still have it, l didn't need it
any more than a cat needs eleven tails
at one and the same time. Still the
bank made it an object to me, and I
secured it. Such things as these
harshly knock the fluff and bloom
off the cheek of youth, and prompt us
to turn the strawberry-box bottom side
up before we purchase it. Youth is
gay and hopeful, age is covered with
experience and scars where the skin
has been knocked off and had to gov
on again. To the young a dollar looks
large and strong. but to the middle
aged and old it is weak and inefficient.
When we are in the heyday and fizz
of existence. we believe everything, but
after awhile we murmur: whats
that you're givin' u.s." or words of q
like character. Age brings caution
and a lot of shop-worn experience
purchased at the highest market price.
Time brings vain regrets and wisdom
teeth that car be left in a glass Of
wster " night.-zHe In0lestds

ABOUT THE HAIR.

How to Dress 1t and How to Care For
Invaluable Hints.
To have beautiful hair and keep it in
health requires as much care as the teeth,
nails or face. So many twist the hair
up in some becoming fashion the year
round, and wonder that it gets streaked.
thin in spots and seems harsh and dry.
The hair should be loosened every
night before retiring, combed free
from tangles with a bone comb (rubbe,
combs have done much to split and
break the hair-nearly all have too
much electricity to use rubber); then
use a stiff brush for a long time,
brushing from the top to the very
ends.
tits we'll for the lady who has a maid,
for it is impossible to properly brush
ones hair if very long. Then braid
and fasten the ends with soft silk braid
for the night.
The scalp should be kept clean and
healthy; wash occasionally, and have
it thoroughly shampooed two Or three
times a year as we'll.
To wash, braid the hair loosely in
several braids, take a raw egg and rub
thoroughly into the scalp Gf beaten
first it rubs in better), then
rinse in cold water with a
little ammonia incorporated in it,
wiring the braids in a coarse
towel, sit by a fire or in the sun until
dry, then comb out the braids. The
braiding prevents much snarling.
Where ones hair is thin aquinine lotion
will prevent it's falling out and give
life to the roots. The Partisan fashions
for dressing children's, hair are as fol-
lows: Ringlets are most favored for
babies. Little boys have curls in the
back and bangs in front.
Little girls have their hair waved and
falling down the back, with a colored
ribbon to keep it in place. Some young
girls have revived the fashion of light
hair nets, with large meshes, in which
the hair falls loose and as low down as
the middle of the back. This style
shows the hair to great advantage. and
will probably meet with general APP
proval. From sixteen to seventeen
years OF age the hair is worn high and
twisted on the top of the head. With
this method of arranging the hair round
hats have no elastics, so as not to con-
zeal any part of the pretty waves which
the hair forms when thus raised from
the nape of the neck. The hat is fas-
tened to the hair by a steel pin with .
,hell or Jet head.-En0hish H~'rdresses:

Chicken Pie: Stew chicken till
tender, season with one-quarter of a
pound of butter, salt and pepper; line
the sides of a pie-dish with a rich crust,
pour in the stcwed chicken, and cover
loosely with a crust, first cutting a hole
in the center. Have ready a can of
oysters; heat the liquor, thicken with
a little flour and water, and season with
salt, pepper and butter the size of an
egg. When it comes to a boil, pour it
over the oysters and about twenty
minutes before the pie is done lift the
top crust and put them in.-1he House-
