Ladies' Hair.

Long and thick hair is SO scarce among
ladies that when one comes to have her head
washed who has full suit she is always the
subject of remark and envy. Not more than
one in ten ladies have full suits. Some who
had long and thick hair as children have lost
most Of it through carelessness The hair
will fall out if not kept clean, and many find
that, after reaching certain length, it breaks
off. However, if a lady has just enough hair
to hold a switch the bairdresser will do the
rest. Style, moreover, has favored the short
haired, for less and less hair has been worn
lately. From the immense waterfalls to the
present scanty head dress is wonderful
change. Switches are universally worn, but
in constantly decreasing size. Still woman
with long hair is to be envied, for her hair
will always look natural. A switch needs re-
freshing, because, without the natural oil of
the head to keep it bright, it will look differ
ent from the wearer's own hair. Some sleep
in their switches so that they may take the
oil from the head, but this is bad for the
scalp, making it too hot and causing the hair
to fall out. So many ladies wash their hair SO
seldom that do not wonder they lose it,

Ice In q Hurry.

Take tall cylindrical jar-which of ne
cessity must be earthenware. Pour into it
an ounce and three-quarters of water and
three and one-third ounces Of the sulphuric
acid of commerce. Then add one ounce of
sulphate of soda in powder In the center of
this mixture stand small earthenware YES
sci, and let it contain the water which 1t is
desired to freeze into ice. Cover the middle
vessel and then, if possible, revolve the whole
affair by gentle motion. In few minutes
the inner vessel will contain block of solid
ice, whilst the outer ingredients can be used a
second or even third time to produce fur
ther blocks Of ice by pouring more fresh
water into the inner receptacle. Work in
a cool place. If greater bulk of ice is wanted
increase. the mixture in the same proportion.

The American Girl.

A pleasing and constant topic of English
writers Is the American girl, writes George
William Curtis in Harper's Magazine One
of the later commentators says of her:
American girls have shown that they can
receive, travel and live without chaperons
escorts or husbands, and are fast developing
a bright, clear, Intelligent, self reliant, cour-
ageous and refreshing variety of the human
race" And again. even if in future years
the slender Yankee belle is hidden behind the
ampler beauty of the English matron, we
may still hear from her lips the wit and
shrewdness, the accUte accent, the intelligent
question, and the rapid repartce that pro-
claim her original nationality" The $50
cietyh pictures in the papers and magazines
represent the dismay of the British matron
with marriageabie daughters as she surveys
the avatar Of the American divinity and
rival The essential differences of society in
the two countries are at once suggested, and
the alarm Of the watchful parent is justified.
The passages that We have quoted appar-
emily describe by contrast, which is fact
which does not seem TO have occurred to the
writer. Doubtless at heart ne is loyal to the
English girl, and does not admit, even in
debate that her supremacy of maidenhood
can be disputed. When he says that Ameri-
travel and live without chaperons, escorts or
husbands, he seems to mean that they have
shown this distinctiyely compared with
other girls.
When he adds that they are fast develop
ing bright, clear, intelligent self reliant,
courageous and refreshing variety of the
human race can he mean that it is new
variety of girl, and that it is not perfectly
familiar in England So in the other passage,
when, surprising the American girl trans
formed into the British matron, he remarks,
with evident admiration, I'VE may still hear
from her lips the wit and shrewdness, the
acute accent, the intelligent question and the
rapid repartee that proclaim her original na-
tionality," yould he have us understand that
these arc not the characteristics of the Brit
ish matron Of today! Or does he intimate
only that the coming Of the Americans will
but enlarge the number OF these delightful
ladies9
The writer certainly seems to describe by
contrast, but he has wisely left a little cloud
in which TO envelop his retreat in case OF
emergency. Certainly We need not press him.
Whatever he may think or say of the Eng
lsh girl, he hss spoken well and truly of her
American sister. HIS description applies to
the girl who grows up amid the average con
ditions of American lie, The girl who is por-
trayed in her more jejune condition in Henry
James Daisy Miller. The two chief qualities
of that young woman, os represented by the
shrewd and subtle artist, ere sell respect and
self reliance TIE perplexity OF the phenone-
non to the foreign reader lies il the TACT that
she docs what the European Girl without sell
respect does.

Rose insecE.

The insects most harmful to roses are the
green fly, red spider, rose hopper or thrips,
and the rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though these insects involves some little trou-
BILE, yet success will attend all persistent eff
forts The green fly, the thrips and the black
slug can all be kept under by Swinging the
plants with a solution of whale oil soap. One
pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons of
water. Throw the water in fine spray on
the under as well as the upper side OF the
leaves A syringe with bent nozzle is the
best instrument with which to apply the
liquid to the lower sides of the leaves The
red spider can be held in check by Swinging
the leaves with clear water; in dry times this
should be done every day. If the rose bug
(nelolontha subspinosa) makes its appearance,
which is not very often, it can be destroyed
by the insect exterminator- Vicks Magazine,

Chapped Hands.

From those suffering from chapped hands,
or for those liable to them, nothing can excel
the healing qualities of mutton tallow This
may be bought at the druggists Or made at
home, and ought to be kept in every house.
Take the fat of mutton, usually that around
the kidney, and try out, strain, pour into a
cup and put aside to harden. If liked it can
be taken from the cup before it is very hard,
and worked into a bail, and in this shape is
much more convenient for use than if left re-
naming in the cup. To apply 1t, first hold
it before or over fire until the surface near
the fire is SOFT then rub this soft tallow to the
afflicted parts, working it gently into the
skin. It is very soothing and gives relief al
most Immediately. There are very few cases
of chapped hands, provided proper attention
is paid to washing and wiping them, that will
not yield readily to this treatment.-Cor.

The Tramp 20 His Pard.

There is residing in the suburbs a
gentleman who is the owner of a very
large amount of real estate, but who is
mi of the most negligent of persons in
regard to dress, his clothing being
almost invariably Of the shabbiest
description. This negligence is an
sccentricity, and is not due to penuri-
BUSINESS, for he is generous and of a
warm and genial nature. Not many
days ago a tramp called at his house
during the owners absence, and, as it
wa the noon hour, the latter's wife, a
very sympathetic and kind hearted
womag gave the nomad a good din
ner. Having finished the meal and
thanked the giver of the same, the
tramp started off; but just as he got
20 the cats he met the owner of the
premises, and judging by his dress that
they were of the same fraternity, the
wanaerer said:
