THE CAUSES OF POOR HAIR.

The first and great reason is that wom-
en- do not keep their heads clean. Oftener
they are too busy with housekeeping and
children to give the hair the weekly sham
pooling and nightly brushing it needs. Still
oftener they are too negligent or do not
know that on strict cleanliness of the scalp
depends their chances of having good hair
at 80. Housework should be lone with a
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. Housemald's consumption is gen.
orally due to breathing the dust and flue of
iIl-kept chambers, and the layer which col
lects at the roots of the hair kills it and
causes the most of the falling out of which
matrons complain before 40.
When women comprehend the baleful
influence of dust on the health, hair and
complexion, they will Danish carpets, up
holste-ing and unwashing draperies, at
once and forever, as the great receptacles
and absorbents of dust. When curtains
and carpets or large mats are used the air
constantly receives floating dust at each
movement; not much, it is true, in care
fully kept houses, but enough CT it gathers
on the scalp, week after week, to form with
its natural oil and sweat a thin malignant
crust in which the root of the hair slowly
decays and drops. As the most of women
80. 49, =
six weeks, the effect is best left indefinite.
Scalp irritations are not unknown, causing
months and years of trouble. But oftener
the skin of the head, clogged and loaded
with dead scales of matter, loses its func-
items and the hair drops out.-Shsrley Dare.

MRS. GRANTS PALATIAL HOME.

All through the autumn there has been
an army of workmen in the Grants new
house on Scventy-third street, which was
purchased with the proceeds of the Gen.
erals book, and cost complete, l am told,
something like 5000, 900. 1t is a big house,
with room enough for Mrs. Sartoris and
her children, who will probably spend
much of her time there in the future. The.
sons, too, will be there with their families
from time to time, as Mrs. Grant means the
tire family. The first guest in the new
house will be the wife OF President-eIect
Harrison, who is an old friend of Mrs.
Grant, and even before her husband was
new house for a long visit as soon as it was
done. Originally the intention was simply
a reunion of two quiet, elderly friends, but
as matters now stand Mrs. Grant will prob
ably throw open her doors and invite the
great world to meet the new first lady Of
the land. Mrs. Levi P. Morton, who has
a handsome house on Fifth avenue, three
doors from the one that was occupied
through the campaign by the Republican
National Committee, will try to induce
Mrs. Harrison to be her guest during a
portion of her stay. They have never met,
but have been vigorously corresponding
during the campaign and have exchanged
photosraphs.-N. r. Cor. Chicago Neos.

A STORY OF THE FEVER.

During a lecture in New York City for
the benefit of the Jacksonville sufferers,
which netted a very handsome sum, George
Francis Train related the following, con-
corning the yellow fever epidemic in New
Orleans flfty-fve years ago:
SIT was dreadful" he said. mo cof6ns
there nor any hearse, Or funeral or mourn
ing. Only a cart and a boy that stopped
before the house and called:
Bring out-bring out-your-d-e-a-d!'
81 remember they took out my little
sister Josephine. l remember how they
tossed the box over among a lot of others.
My father and mother and | went after 1t
in a carryall. | remember the rain and
the water splashing about the wheels in
the cemetery. Again in two days came
the cry:
Bring out-bring out-your-d-e-a-dl'
st was my little sister Ruby, then.
How different from at Jacksonville, where
they do it up in style, with fine %coffins,
and money and help pouring in from all
over the world. Yet again we went to the
graveyard and there was left only my little
sister Ellen, a weak, delicate little thing,
gentle and mild, the fairest flower that
ever bloomed. She had always been my
special playmate. A little fellow four
years old can't remember much, but her
face has been with me all through my life
and I shall never forget it, nor how one
day there came again that cry:
"Bring out-bring out ycur-dead"
81 chung to the box, l remember, and
struggled against their taking it away.
After that vent the servants, | remember,
| and the doctor, and then the nurse, and at
last they showed NE my mother sick, and
in a few days she, too, had gone. Then
there came a letter from my aunt, far
away in New England, and it begged them
to send me-little George, at any rate, be-
fore all were dead. So my father took me
to the ship Waverly. and | remember how
we walked from one ship to another to get
on it. He tied a card about my neck and
on it wrote:
"'This is George Francis Train, my only
child, consigned to John Clark, Jr., Dock
Square, Boston.
".Take good care of the little fellow; he
is only four years old; all dead but one out
of a family of eleven
81 remember that | floated out into the
warm, pleasant gull. and along and along
day after day, floating in the sunshine,
floating north, floating at last into the
beautiful harbor of Boston. And l seem
to have been floating ever since"

THE TARIFF CRANK.

l talked to him on themes of ancientloIe,
The themes of ancient days, romantic tales;
He switched the subject round to iron ore,
The duty on pig iron and steel rails.
] talked of legends of the stored past,
Ofmyths enshrouded in traditions shade;
Then with his glittering eye he held me fast,
And switched Off on protection and free
trade;
On pauper labor and war taxes prated,
Until my soul was soaked and saturated.
Then 1 discussed what modern brains had
, wrought,
mist;
And then he turned and asked me if Ithought
Sugar and salt should go on the free list.
1 talked of art, then, when his breath was gone,
But though exhausted, he still gasped and
gulped,
And then he said big duties should go on
All sculpture that a foreign sculptor
sculped:
And then went through his endless variorum
OF duties specified and ad valorcm.
And then L tried to quiet lin again,
talked on letters, hoped he would reply;
OF Tolstoi, Howells, Haggard and Mark Twain,
of Whitcomb, Riley and of William Nye,
But he talked upon tax for revenue,
And duty for protection on tin pots,
The history of our trading with Peru,
And of our N with the Hottentots,
The rate for labor paid in Spain and Sweden,
In Timbuctoo and Ireland and Eden.
l touched theology with dexterous scope,
Touched on predestination and free grace,
But he discussed the rate per cent. on soap,
On terra Gotta, ~limburger and lace;
l talked of occult, theosophic things,
OF Buddha and of Brahmai and of such,
He said the rate was small on gems and rings,
But on dry goods and whisky was too much.
Then l fell silent, and by all the powers,
He talked alone for fourteen mortal hours.

LEI THE GIRLS ROMP.

Most mothers have a dread of romps, so
they lecture the girls daily on the proprie-
ties, aud exhort them to be little ladies'.
They ike to see them very quiet and gen.
tie and as prim as possible. The lot of
such children is rather pitiable, for they
are deprived of the fun and frolic, which
they are entitled to. Children-boys and
girls-must have exercise to keep them
healthy. Deprive them Of it, and they will
fade away like flowers without sunshine.
Running, racing, skipping, climbing
these are the things that strengthen the
muscles, expand the chest and build up the
nerves. The mild dose of exercise taken
in the nursery with calisthenics or gym
nastics will not invigorate the system like
a good romp in the open air.
Mothers, therefore. who counsel their lit
tie girls to play very quietly make a mis-
take. Better the laughing, rosy checked,
romping girl than the pale, lily faced one,
who is called every inch a lady. The lat
ter rarely breaks things, or tears her
dresses, or tires her mothers patience as
tile former does; but, after all, what does
the tearing and breaking mount to? 1t
is not a wise policy to put an old head on
young shoulders. Childhood is the time
for childish pranks and plays. The girls
will grow into womanhood soon enough.
Let them be children as long as they can.
Give them plenty of fresh air and sunlight,
and let them run and romp as much as
they please. By all means give us hearty,
healthy, romping girls, rather than pale
faced little ladies, condemned from their
very cradle to nervousness, headache and
similar ailments.
