Irrigating the Scalp.
DR.. Foote'S Health Monthly.

Ut. tooteS Health monthly.
A reader OF The Health Monthly, Mr..
Frank Read, Of California, informs us that
from his earliest recollections he has observed
the beneficial effects Of wetting the hair and
scalp when attending to the morning ablu-
tons. He has been both an observer aud an
inquirer In this direction and he reports that
he has yet to find either a bald or aching
head among those who practice the applica-
ton Of water to the hair and scalp. On the
other hand he has observed that bald-headed
people are very fidgity about what touches
their heads. They feel outraged IL drop of
water happens to fall on their glossy pates.
Our correspondent says all vegetable matter
requires water or moisture to keep 1t alive and
that the human hair needs it just as much.
His advice is to wash the scalp often enough
to keep it clearly, seldom using soap for the
reason that he thinks the soap makes the hair
brittle and removes that oily secretion which
is necessary to preserve the health of the hair.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Read reminds
us of the work the brain has to do and how in
this fast age the labors of the brain produce
intense heat IN the tissues enyeloping it. The
refrlgerant properties Of water are required to
keep the scalp at normal temperature. To
all Of which we are disposed to say-correct,

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sargeant-at-
Arms Of the New Jersey Senate, and now Notary
Public at Cedarville, Cumberland Co. N. j.,
makes the following startling statement: my
father, mother, and three sisters all died with
consumption, and my lungs were go weak /
raised blood Nobody thought | could live
My work (shipsmthing) was very straining on
me with my weak constitution, aud was rap
idly going to the grave. While In this condl-
ton commenced using Misher's Herb Bitters,
and 1t saved my life. Because 1t was so dim
cult to get it in this little place, and had i'm.
proved SO much, l stopped taking 1t for a
time. and the result is have commenced
going rapidly down hill sgsin. Somehow,
Mshler's Herb Bltters gives appetite and
strengthens and builds up as nothing else does
and must have dozen bottles At once. Use
this communication as you please, and IL any
one wants to be convinced Of its truth, let
them write me and will make affidavit to it,
for owe my life to Mshlers Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost inyariable relief and
cure OF consumption, dysentary, darrhea
dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and liver
complaints, when Mishler's Herb Bitters is
is used, is that 1t contains simple, harmless and
yet powerful ingredients, that act on the blood,
kidneys, and liver, and through them strength
ems and invigorates the whole system. Purely
vegetable in its composition; prepared by q
regular physician; standard medicinal prep
sration; endorsed by physicians and druggists.
These are four strong points in favor of Mish.
ler's Herb Bitters. Mishlers Herb Bitters Is
sold by all druggists. Price sl.oO per large
bottle. 6 for $500.

TattOOed Women.

Washington Liter.
Those who think tattoolng, as most people
do in this part Of the world, a custom of semi
civilized countries, except in the cas-: Of sail
ors, will probably be astonshed to learn that
there are two sisters belonging to one Of the
most prominent families in Washingto ton, So
cially as well as in official circles, whose
grandparents, on both sides, were also for
more than a generation back similarly situat-
ed in the National Capitol, who are really tat
tooed. Both the sisters are young and one
has been married for several years and the
other is betrothed. When scarcely in their
teens these girls, just for the fun of the thing
being of lively, daring temperament, allow
ed a sailor at the naval station, where they
were with their parents, to tattoo their cheeks
with red, and it has remained in the skin ever
since, making the cheeks wear always Pc
cuiar brick-dust hue, that no one has ever
been deceived into believing natural, and
wonder has often been expressed that these
young ladies painted their faces in so glazing
and inartistic a manner. Few know that they
are tattooed and that they have doubtless
often regretted bitterly the freak Of their ear

HosnltalItY We'll Renaid.

Twenty-Five years ago writes Troy CORES
pondent Of the New York Times, Christopher
A. Burdick, who has been engaged in various
paris Of the country as teacher OF penman-
ship, came to Rensselaer, county and lived in
various parts OF the county until his death,
which occurred at Eagle Bridge about eigh.
teen months ago. For some time before his
death he had not been at work, and though he
was supposed to have some money nobody
seemed to care to make a home for him, and
his requests to be taken In were refused by
several people. He had been several times at
the house OF Nahum Newcomb at Plttstown.
Mr. Newcomb felt sorry for the lonely old
bachelor, who was pleasant man and kind
to his children, and told him he might come
to his house as often as be chose and stay as
long as he pleased. Mr. Burdick was pleased
atthis and used to go there quite often. After
his oeath 1t was found that Burdlck mad made
will, and had given $1,000 to each OF the
Newcomb's four children and some money to
Newromb's wife and his mother. Mr.. New
comb applied to the surrogate office to-day for
letters Of guardianship for his children, so
that he might take their requests in trust for
them. The estate is sufficient to pay the be-
quests

young--and society-ano those who
had reared her tenderly loved her fond
ly. She had come, alone with him, to
dwell In that savage ravine. And he
had been everything to her, everything
she could wish, everything she had
dreamed, everything she had waited
for, everything she had hoped for. He
had filed heI.whole existence with hap.
piness, from first to last. She could
not possibly have been more happy.
And all night long, as I listened to
the hoarsc breathing of the old soldier
lying on his pallet beside her who had
followed him from so far away, kept
thinking of that strange and simple adj.
venture, composed of so few incidents.
And / left at sunrise, after shaking
hands with the old married pair.
The narrator paused. A woman
said:
THAT is all very well. But she had
too facile an ideal-wants too primitive
and exigencies too simple. She must
have been silly"
Another woman murmered slowly;
''What matter! she was happy"
And far away, in the depth of the
horizon, Corsica buried herself in the
night-slowly melted back into the seq
--eifaccd her vast shadow which she
seemed to have made visible only il
order to tell us the story of those two
humble lovers who found shelter OF
her shores.

Bad Spoilers Conspiring.

Everybody who receives letters and
reads manuscript knows that there are
persons whose spelling is atrocious, al
though they may have learned to write
a good hand, and even may be able to
express their thoughts clearly and in ac-
cordance with the rules of grammar
These unfortunate persons stumble
over the shortest and most familiar
words. They are unable to bear in
mind and obey the simplest rules of
photography. We have before us proof
that many men who have been students
all their lives, and are now connected
with institutions of learning, are even
worse spoilers than hundreds of per-
sons who were able in their youth tc
spend only short time at school.
These gentlemen have formed an as
ISOLATION for mutual encouragement
and support, and at meetings which are
held from time to time they heartily de
nounce spelling books and dictionaries
| They even boast of their own inability
to spell correctly, and, exemplificatior
of the saying that misery loves com
pany, they not only urge all other bac
spoilers to join them, but also strive t.
induce all men to believe that goot
spelling is vice that should be shun
ned.-Neao York Times.

The Manufacture Of Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope are made to sell at from 8
cents TO SIS each, the latter (made in Provl-
hence r. l.,) being used great deal by car
pet designers and for like purposes In
factory in New York reporter found five
girls at work before long desk, this beng
their system Of operations: The first young
woman wraps black paper about the glass re-
doctors which produces the optical illusion.
These strips of glass, when thus arranged and
fastened together, form the body of the kali
eidoscope The next girl simply inserts the
united refectors into the pasteboard cover
and then passes the octagonal pasteboard
tube to her neighbor. Number three adjusts
the brass ring which secures the glass disk in
the end.
Between the disks or plates are placed the
scraps of colored glass, the beads and various
trinkets which tumble about as the kaleido-
! scope is revolved, and when rejected by the
| mirrors form themselves into ever shifting,
fantastic forms. The other young women are
armed with hammers to break the colored
| glass into fragments. The colored glass is
obtained from the waste scraps, purchased
very cheap at stained glass manufactures.

He Talked too Much.

An ambitious young commercial tour
list living in one of the cities on the mid-
die Hudson became acquainted with q
young lady attending well-known
seminary, whose father is an influential
citizen of one of the Washington Coun-
ty towns and is reputed to have a solid
bank account. Having progressed in
his acquaintance with the young lady SO
far as to seek and receive an invitation
to visit her at her home during her school
vacation, he essayed to risk the danger
that might attend his reception at the
paternal domicile. Having engaged
the fastest trotters and nattiest turnout
of the village liveryman our tourist set
ont.
The ride was about six miles, and
after he had journeyed about half that
distance he overlook pedestrian and
inquired if he was ION the right
road to Mr.. Smiths farm house?" Re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, the drum
mer asked the farmer to ride. The
latter got in the buggy, and as soon as
he was seated the young man pulled
out his flask and asked his new-made
friend to imbibe. 1t was declined, and
the prollered cigar ELECTED the response
that he neither drank liquor nor smoked
nor chewed tobacco. To this the sharp
young man rejoined by avowing his be-
lief that there never was a man but
what was addicted to some OF the vices.
Meeting with no contradiction on this
topic, he inquired of the stranger if he
knew Mr. Smith and his standing in the
community.
"Yes," replied he, '1know him we'll,
and think he is quite fair with his
townsmen."
"He's we'll hooked up, amt he?'
''Well, he owns one OF the best farms
in the town, and he prides himself on
his stock"
He has daughter?"
"Yes, three of them"
"Well, mean the one that is at the
school in -? Ihave met her and am
invited by her to call and spend the
evening""
'Ah, is that SOP She is an excellent
girl"
well, she 10 clear mashed on me,
and intend to do my level best to
marry her and get share of the old
mans money to set me up in business
Don't you think that bright idea?'
"Well, as said, she is a good girl,
and one that loves her father dearly,
and obeys him in everything. You
could not obtain her hand without the
fathers consent"
"rll see about that. I'd give more
to obtain the daughters than the old
mans consent" replied the impetuous
but undiscerning young fellow.
At this moment they were approach
ing stately farmhouse, and as they
reached its front the farmer said: -
live here, and will get out, if you
please"
The commercial man gently haltet
the trotters, and, as the old gentleman
reached the ground, he said to him
"Now, how much further is it to Mr.
Smith'spn
II am Mr.. Smith, Sir" replied the
farmer, sternly, land you can drive on,
for l will not permit you to step on my
premises. "-ALbaHy argus.

A Sense of Humor,

There is somewhere in George Eliot
a remark to the effect that dissimilal
taste in jokes is great strain upon af
lection, innumerable families nigh;
serve as melancholy instances of the
truth of the observation. Many mar.
riage has come to an unhappy ending
from the lack of a sense of humor tG
serve as sort of lubricating oil to the
wheels of daily life. There was pro-
found practical wisdom in the advice
given by shrewd and worldly wise old
women to her granddaughter on the
latter's wedding day: Feed your
husband well and learn how to amuse
him." and it is safe to say that if the
bride succeeded in filling these two in
functions her married life moved or
with smoothness and happiness. Some
body has described humor as the sixth
sense, and certainly the unfortunate
mortal who lacks this is deprived
of as large part of the pleasure
of life as a man who has lost one of
the five which are reckoned the right
full inheritance of all humanity. 1t is
true that majority of mankind are
more or less lacking in this respect, and
that genuine and delicate apprecia-
ton of humor is rarer even than a
musical ear; yet it is fortunately true
that in most of us exist the rudiments
which may be cultivated into very re-
spectacle capability of enjoying the
ludicrous. Only one man in a thou
sand can compass philosophical
superiority which shall enable him to
regard the accidents of life with undis-
turbed equanimity; but if one can cult
vate the habit of discovering in all
things subject for laughter or for
smiles, there are few lots which may
not be very comfortably endured. Up
on him who persistently smiles at fate,
she is very apt to bestow the opportu.
nifty of smiling with her. The sense Of
humor, moreover, serves as common
meeting ground for nature which with.
out it must forever remain separate.
1t is the password to secret brother,
hood in which the good fellow
ship is perfect Those who possess il
are never strangers after occasion ha:
brought recognition of this powerful
bond of sympathy. No matter how di
verse the tastes, the circumstances, tn,
ambitions, the sixth sense makes o
one race all who are endowed with it
and the fact that the exquisite deligh
they enjoy must forever remain mys
terry to ordinary mortals increases thu
strength of the bond that unites them
A comforter in sorrow and misfortune
: lightener of life's burdens. qualit,
that heightens joy and lightens mysery
there are few human qualities so wei
. worth cultivation as a sense of humor
, and there is no other which does S
much to render its possessor pleasan
to live with or SO much aids him
S avoid the sharp corners and ungraciou
!, characteristics of his fellow mortal
: who go through life endowed with bu
: five senses.-Boston Courier.

Mummy Cotton Seed.

Atlanta Constitution.
Some time ago Sunset Cox forwarded to
Senator Brown from Egypt package of cot
ton seed that had been found intombed with a
mummy. The mummy belonged to the race
of the Pharaohs and had been pronounced
dead 1000 years before Mr., Cox discovered
the remains. Three Of the seed were sent by
Senator Brown to Dr. Connally OF this city
and were duly submitted 10 the test OF sun
and soil. They were planted in tubs filed with
highly fertllized dirt, and we're carefully
watched and watered for period Of thirty
days. In spite of this the seed failed to sprou
and they were finally dug up and examined
They were filled with dust, and 1t is supposed
that the germ OF life that once existed IN thei
frail shells had passed away utterly. But VIII

mummy for 1000 years would require at leas
a thousand years to germinate' Let us b

The Mysteries Of Japanese Lac.
Chicago News,

Chicago Nows,
The mysteries Of the japanese lac have
never been mastered by European workmen.
Their artists were craftsmen OF untiring pa
thence, and placed by the condition of feudal
life above the needs OF mere money making
They were often ennobed and always esteem
ed. They did not hesitate to lavish on a sword
or an ivory toggle, screen or minute decor
alton of sword hilt, alt their artistic genius
in design or pictorial effect. The modern lac
is an ephemeral professionalism in texture,
with overlaid gliding of effective but not solid
character. Its panels and cabinets, rich with
incrustations, are gaudy and il-drawn. There
is nothing in which the collector so often goes
astray. The old japanese lac resists heat and
cold alike. Submersion beneath the sea for
months does not spoil it. 1t is built up slowly
and defes centuries Of wear.
