The Causes of Poor Hair.

The first and great reason is that
women do not keep their heads clean.
Ottener they are too busy with house
keeping and children to give the hair the
weekly slIampooing and nightly brushing
it needs. Still oftener they are too negli.

hness OF the scalp depends their chances

should be done with q muslin cap or towel
folded to cover the hair to the roots.
House dust, which is mainly dead animal
matter thrown off by clothing and beds
is deadly to lungs and hair. Housemaid's
consumption is generally due to breathing
the dust and fue of ill-kept Chambers
and the layer which collects at the roots
of the hair kills it and causes the most

When women comprehend the balefu'

Fashions In HANDWRITING.

There are fashions in everything nova
days. The latest is in handwriting. At
least, | see that an instructor in that art
adyertises at q stylish s~tationer's that he
will impart to u aristocracy, and l pre-
sumo any n else who can pay for in
struction, the latest styles of fashionable
caligraphy: 1t used to be charged against
the old fashioned writing master that his
method of instruction deprived the pupil
OF all individuality In the use of the pen.
Inc writing master taught writing after
the fashion of a copperplate. The newer
style insists on an equal suppression of
individuality without the compensation
OF elegance. The thing in handwriting
now Is apparently to make it as illegibie
as possible. The extent to which the
people succeed is certainly a credit to the
master:-John Preston Beecher in New
York News.

Postal Savings Bank system.

One of the features of the government
of Great Britain is the postal savings
bank system. 1t is very popular and is
largely patronized by the public. Its use
fitness is beyond all question. United
States Consul Walling, at Liverpool. has
been investigating this subject and has
given some very interesting facts about
its workings in a report to the secretary
of state. The beginning of the govern
ment postal savings banks was in 1861
under a bill prepared and presented by
Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was entitled IAN act
affording additional facilities for deposit
ing small savings at interest with the
security of the government for the due
repayment thereof" On the day of the
opening of the first banks under this act
435 deposits were received. One year
afterward the number had increased so
greatly that there were 2 1856 offices open
for the accommodation of the public. In
1886 the depositors had increased in num-
Der to 9, 791 ,421, and the amount of money
on deposit was $50. 974, 33S. This in
American money would be $3.50, 900, 900.
Deposits of one shilling or any number of
shillings are received up to $3.50 or $50.
The interest paid is 81 per cent. q year
on every full pound. Should the sum
on deposit reach e200 the interest there
on will cease until the amount has been
AN 6Cf Ddo lIdut DTO-
vision for the investment of larger sums
in its securities. The banks will receive
deposits from parents or other relatives
on behalf of minor children. Married
women can also make deposits which are
beyond the control of the husbands.
Another feature of the British system
is that the government guarantees the
repayment of all moneys on deposit with
interest, and also any life assurances or
annuities granted under the act creating
these banks. The results of the measure
of Mr.. Gladstone have been such as to
recommend it to the good will of the
people of Great Britain. That they do
appreciate it is shown by their liberal
patronage. The cost of maintaining it is
very little, being about ive-eighths of /
per cent. The guarantee of the govern
ment makes the system absolutely safe.
1t is in every respect a well regulated
financial institution. Great Britain is not
the only nation which has these postal
savings banks. They are a feature of
the American and Australian British
colonies. They have been engrafted
upon the political system of France, Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Holland
and Japan.-Detroit Free Press.

Rats on Board Shin.

I'VE can always tell" said a West
mdia captain, speaking of the plague of
rats In port now, when we have a few
or many OF the pests on board. The rats
40 not, as one would suppose, remain on
the NJ but they get off at various ports.
and, after remaining awhile, ship on some
other vessel for another a The
water rats, or wharf rats, are great trav.
elers, and make frequent VOYAGES around
b world. There are here now rats from
almost every part of the globe. WIN I
saw four colossal Jamaica rats. with tSa,r
white bellies. skipping about in the
moonlight the other night, and Yesterday
killed two Indian male rats on nv ves-
sci.
Rats are great climbers when thew
find it necessary to do 80. Upon. one Of
my voyages not long ago we had a long
spell of warm weather, and there was no
water in the hold which the small army
of rats on board could get at. One night
we put some water up at the cross trees
and waited for the result. Well, the rats
just swarmed up the ratings and went
for that water. We killed as many of
them as we could as they came down,
and some of them jumped overheard and
were drowned. But we could not kill
them all, and a few made the entire
voyage with us. "-~Philadelphia Record.
