Improvement of the Hair,

But hair must be carefully cultivated to
grow even in length, supple, silken and
graceful in color Everything is encourag-
ing for the improvement of hair if time can
be given it. The same treatment will not do
for different kinds of hair by any means.
Strong, stiff, naturally moist hair needs
weekly shampooing and daily and nightly
brushing, with exposure to the morning and
evening sun, which is great stimulant to
the hair. Thin, soft, dry hair needs tender
care, but with either the first step toward
improvement is thorough washing Of the
scalp and hair, which collects dust its entire
length. To cleanse it the various alkalies,
borax, ammonia, carbonate of potash and
washing soda are used, and the strong hair
will bear them, but they burn the life out Of
thin, dry hair.
The Venetian ladies drew their hair through
a crownless hat and let it stream over the
brim to dry, and you may follow the example,
sitting in the sun if possible an hour Light
is a great stimulant and preventative to hair,
and it is well to open it when dry and let the
wind blow through. The sun will cause the
natural oil of the hair to fow-or the head
may be held to the fire till the dry hair feels
moist A smart brushing night and morn
ing, careful braiding before sleep, and an
hour spent once month clipping all forked
ends, will insure rapid growth of hair, if
the general health is good. without other
treatment If you want stimulant at night
rub little oil of lavender in the roots of the
hair with shampoo brush. Do not irritate
the scalp by hard brushing. Regular care is
better than overdoing.-Shirley Dare.

Use of q Clothes Tree.

a clothes tree, as you may know, is stiff
affair, looking very much like the trunk of a
tree with several short, bare branches left at
the top. Ii you have one of these convenient
articles in each bed room the masculine men,
bers of your household may be induced to use
the pegs instead of hanging up their clothes
on the floor a walnut or cherry clothes tree
is Just the thing for a small hall where an or

TO ENJOY YOURSELF
is AS MUCH OF AN ART AS IT
is TO MAKE A FORTUNE.
How to Acquire the Power of Self Enter
tainment-The Training Which Ante
dates the Three R's-The Childs Five
Senses-Genuine Culture.

Every one thinks that he can enjoy him
self, and does not lack for efforts to realize
bis ambition but it is as much of an art to
have a good time as it is to make for
tune The latter does not come by whistling
for it, and the good time does not follow be-
cause one is on vacation and in search of
it. The larger number Of persons enter upon
life without any special consideration of its
meaning or its opportunities, or what they
can do with themselves. If they can earn
living they think that they do well, and if
they earn more than living, they are pretty
sure to show that they do not know how
to make wise use of their surplus This is
seen often enough to almost allow the form
ing of the rule that people usually enjoy life
in inverse ratio to their opportunities. They
find themselves, for instance, able to take a va
cation after perhaps twenty years of incessant
activity in business or manual labor. The fact
of a month or two to spend, not under the
click of the telegraph, but in going about at
their own sweet will, is so new, so out Of
range with all their antecedenrs, that they

CURTOSlTlES OF ATAvISM.
The Otter Breed of Sheep-The Blue.Pup.
Latent Disease.

Many Of the most famous breeds Of sheer
and cattle have arisen through the acct
dental appearance of some striking peculi
arity of structure, which has been preserved
by careful selection and breeding Thus th'
well known Ancon or otter breed of sheep
now extinct, arose in the last century il
Massachusetts, by the accidental birth Of a
ram with crooked legs and a long back like a
turnspit. These peouliarities rendered him
unable to leap fences, and as this was point
of great importance to the early settlers this
ram was sslected-snr breeding, and his abuor-

FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains
in various parts of the body, sinking
at the pit of the stomach, loss of APP

The best and simplest cosmetic for woman
is constant gentleness and sympathy for the
noblest interests of her fellow creatures
This preserves and gives to her features an
iHdelibly gay, fresh and agreeable expression.
If women would but realize that harshness
makes them ugly, it would prove the best
means of conversion.

There are numerous ways to remove warts.
A good, simple and harmless way is said to
be the saturating OF the wArt with lemon
juice two or three times a day for several
days or a week. The wart will then disap-
pear gradually and without pain, leaving no
mark. Another way is to use common wash
ing soda and apply it frequently.
