THE CARE OF THE HAIR.
How Women should Nurse and
Nurture Their TreSheA.

Nurture Their Tresses.
Don't wash your hair. That is the ad-
vice given by woman who has been at
the head OF a leading establishment for
the last sixteen years. She says:
81 believe the average woman browns
the life out of her hair by frequent wash
ing in hot or cold water. We send out
from the house nineteen hands who dress
hair by the season, contracting for the
entire family. They plan to give each head
a combing twice week, and by special
arrangement make house -to-house visits
daily. Not drop of water is put on the
hair and every head is kept in a clean
and healthy condition. We pin our faith
to good brush, backed with olive or
palm wood /; not to the elaborate articles
bound in silver or ivory. A brush ofthis
sort costs rs cents, but wear one out
every month. You see 1 use it not only
on the hair, but the scalp as we'll.
"a man has to be taught how to dress
hair just as instruction is needed in school
teaching, or bread making, and this
teaching is part of my duty. One object
lesson is worth term of the theory, and
80 in teaching one novice operate on
another.
"The first thing to do when the hair lis
unpinned is to loosen it by lightly toss
ing it about. The operation need not
tangle it, and as the tresses are being
aired they fall into natural lengths. In
stead of beginning at the scalp,
the first combing should start
at the end of the hair. In other
words, comb upwards to avoid
tangling, breaking and tearing the hair
out. This racking of the hair will re-
move considerable dust. The scalp
should be cleaned in spots and sections,
and fine tooth.comb is indispensable.
1t is not necessary to draw the comb
down through the hair Dandruff can
be removed by combing the surface
where it has accumulated, and by SLAM
ting the fine comb it may be brought
from the scalp without having
to go the whole length of the
hair. AS l said before, the head
should be cleaned in spots. When the
dead skin has been loosened, thorough
brushing is all that is required to remove
it. By thorough, mean to spend full
hour, first brushing the head and then
the hair to free it from the eruptions OF
the skin. Frequently this can be &C
by shaking out or tanning
The hair, and subsequent brushing will
give the hair the glossy, silky finish Tor
which 80 much pomade is used.
"We have on our books a family, in
,luding seven girls, for whom we have
lone work since 1870. The hair was SO
,ery poor that at the mothers suggestion
We tried the experiment of dry dressing;

EUROPE has a poor wheat crop this
year, and America has good one. The
State OF Minnesota is figuring on
80, ,O0O,000 bushels. Dakota has an i'm
mense crop also. All through the ex-
treme Northwest, in Oregon and Wash
ington, the crop is large, and elevators
are being built to handle it. The crop
in California will be one of the best yet
harvested in the State. With a
shortage in Europe, prices ought
to be fairly good. The outflow Of
wheat to Europe will soon arrest that OF
gold. In fact, we hear no more of ship
ments of coin, and in a few weeks it will
begin to flow back in payment fol-
breadstuffs. The western railroads will
reap their harvests as well as the
farmers as soon as the crop begins tc
aow towards tidewater. The coming
year will be one of prosperity in all parts
of the American Union.
