Arrangement of the Hair.

In the arrangement Of the hair very few wom-
en- pay enough attention to the shape OF Their
heads and faces, and the consequence Is any
thing but graceful appearance. woman with
an oval face, regular features and GTecian head
can wear her hair in almost any fashion and
look well. A sharp or regular prohie ADMITS Oh
a Lanptry knot or the hair twisted in coil low
on the neck A woman with a round, piquant
face should wear her hair dressed high on the
head, thus elongating the face. II the hair
grows down on the neck very far IN an unbe-
coming fashion, and the hair is dressed high on
the head little curls should be made about the
napc OF the neck. 1t is unvise to wear the hair
in ono fashion for any length Of time. That por.
ton exposed to the air will become discolored
and brittle, besides producing bald spots. Care
fll and regular attention should be given to the
head as we'll as the face, and il this were done
but few women would be obliged to wear frizzcs,
switches and false fronts. At night the han
should be taken down and combed free from al!
tangles with bone comb. A stiff brush should
then be applied, brushing vigorously but system
aticaly tho whole length Of the hair. 1t is i'm
possible for one to do this thoroughly for one
self, but sisters or friends can easily exchange
services The hair should then be firmly but
not tightly braided, and two braids arc best fol
the night. Tie the ends with soft linen OF wool
en- material, and do not put in any hair-pins, a.
while sleeping they are apt to become rusty VIII
perspiration and are then conducive to badness
Another important care oft the hair is to keep thu
scalp clean. This can only be done by washing
once month at least, with good shnmpooint
every three months. The former can be easil,
done at home, but barber had best attend tt

best known remedies for the removal of scurf
After rubbing in the egg wash the head in tn

The Wool Situation.

The time has come when WOOL
growers the world over must be
placed on some level, as regards the
price of their product, unless by the
intervention of Il protective duty by
the government of some country the
price in that country can be made
to assume a higher level. Now 1t
is certain that our wool growers
must be placed on par with those
of South America, Australia, etc,
unless protected by a tariff duty
Again, it is certain that the condl-
tons under which wool must be
grown are entirely different i'll the
United States from those of other
countries, and that our sheepmen
cannot compete with them i'll the
production of wool on the same, OF
q free trade, basis. In many wool
growing regions the land is of little
value, the men live in tents, or rude
" constructed huts, their land does
not need to be fenced, they have nc
public roads, or schools, etc, to
keep up, taxes are merely nominal,
the climate salubrious and mild at
all seasons of the year, and flock
owners are not required to put up
feed and prepare for the long, hard
winters which harress the American
sheeplnan. Now these are some of
the conditions with which our sheep
men must compete. To do this they
must live in rude huts and tents,
they must do without the convent.
ences of roads, schools, churches
and many other accompaniment
of civilized life; and even then the
severity of our climate is against
them. Our flock owners cannot
compete in the growing of wool
under these conditions without pro-
lection. This being true, is the in.
dustry worth fostering and saving
by the means of a tariff. or is it
better to let it perish, and buy all
our woods, as we do now large part
from these foreign countriesi This
is just what the matter resolves it.
self into, the government, must either
give wool growing adequate protec-
ton, or the industry must perish,
and allow wool necessary to clothe
the people of this vast nation must
be imported from abroad. Will it
be good policy for the government
to allow this industry to perish,
then import its WOOL This would
annually take out of the country a
vast deal of capital without provid
ing any means by which the equili.
brium of trade can be maintained
furnishing a constant balance a.
gainst us. Wool growing would be
destroyed, the occupation of the
flock masters would be taken away,
and these men would be forced to
seek new fields of labor and new
fields for the investment of thir cap.
ital. There are large numbers of
men and a vast total Of capital en-.
gagged in this business, and if these
men and this capital suddenly seeks
new fields twill cause a great revolt
sion in business circles, which might
and undoubtedly would canse Sc
rious depression and complication
in all lines of trade. 1t appears
viewed from whatever point you
may, that it is matter of policy
and expediency for the government
to give the sheep business requisite
protection.-National Stockman.

Hints About Horses.

Secretary John E. Russell, of the
Massachusetts Board of Agriculture,
an expert in equine matters, has
been featuring the natural history
class of the Worcester school on his
favo. lite theme. From reports in
The Spy of that place we CLEAN the
appended useful suggestions:
The best bred and thinnest skin
ned horses have very little name; it
is not only thin and fine, but the
hair is short. A heavy. matted
name means a low-bred, course
brute. Horses driven in pairs
should frequently change sides, as
the mouth becomes hardened one
side and the muscles of the neck be-
comes affected by the unequal pull
of the double reins. 1t occasionally
happens that nervous orvicious
horse has a great deal of mischief
in the tail, catching the rein and
holding it and then follow this ad-
vantage by running or some other
form of mischief. No one can object
to the removal of a few joints of
the bone.
A fine arching tail, well carried,
is very rarely seen, bnt it may be
had if breeders would follow the
Eastern custom of shearing the hair
from the dock of the colt and keep.
ing it carefully trimmed until the
period of growth is passed. Every
horseman is aware that foals carry
their tails high and arched, but
when the yearling has growth OF
hair, often matted with burrs OF
mud, the dock is pulled down by
the weight, and the arched tail is
lost and clings to the animal.
English groOms often keep the tail
in pulleys, which is said to have
the effect of arching the dock.
Hair growing in a thick tuft in.
side of the ear must never be touch.
ed. Ignorant and officious grooms
will remove it with scissors, but it
is a great defence against flies that
would, in its absence, secure lOdg-
ment upon the sensitive skin inside
the ear. Long course hairs upon
the muzzle and the eyebrow are off,
eh plucked away. No horseman
should allow this to be done. These
hairs sre not superduous-they have
q valuable use. They are like the
whiskers of the feline race, having
power and conveying i'm
pressions to the brain.
The fact that the horse has no
power to store bile indicates the
great rapidity Of his digestion and
power Of assimilation. For such
reasons he Ghould be fed e. frequent

Gray sets off color better than either black

edgng for any color. A white ground has a
tendency to make colors upon it appear darker
while black ground has contrary effect. In
the association of two tones of one COLOR the eff.
