A correspondent writes to the Scfen-
tyic american in regard to- taking care
OF the hair: Experience has taught
me that 1t is best to keep all oils or
grease from the hair. Don't let BARRIERS
oil it. l find wetting with water best.
AT least once a week rub the yelk of an
egg, or half Of it, well into the hair
and scalp, and rinse of thoroughly
with tepid water. 1t will promote
growth and color. probably largely due
to sulphur in the egg. This course has
started a new growth of hair with me,
not very thick, but better than none
at ALL"

ONE of the best Of the new inven-
tons is a horseshoe without nails. 1t
is made to fit on the edges Of the hoof,
rs you would fit the cover over the rim
OF q teacup. 1t IA be put on or taken
off by any N of ordinary intelligence
i'll n OF two minutes. BY its 5 all
danger Of injuring a horse by pricking
or wounding the foot with nails is
averted. AS about five horses In a
hundred are famed or ruined by careless
driving of nails, and at least ten per
cent. are ruined by careless shoeing by
incompetent iron Founders, who style
themselves horse shoers, this invention,
aside flom cheapening the process, will
add to the value of the horse.

a French physician, DR.. Layet, has
just published the results Of his inqui-
ries into the nature Of a singular NAL
ady known as svanillism," which
science has, 1t seems, lately added to
the sufficiently long Catalogue Of human
disorders. Bordeaux is the chief en-
porium of vanilla, some TO- 900 pounds
Of that spice being annually imported.
The men employed in cleaning and
sorting it have long been known to
suffer from a very peculiar affection OF
which DR.. Layet's Investigations have
now revealed the cause. It's symptoms
are redness and itching Of the skin,
often attended with desQuamation OF
the cuticle, and usually accompanied
with general malaise, lassitude and
giddiness. All the trouble is caused by
a minute acaru which lives In the
vanilla, and finds its way to the person
handling it. DR.. Layet's labors have
not as yet been crowned with the
discovery OF any cure for the new
disease.

TALL AND DWARF PEAs.-There
are those with round and those with
wrinkled seeds. The round seeded are
the earliest and hardest. A popular
variety is Daniel O'Rourke, known also
as Early Kentish, and by as many other
names as there are seedsmen, each one
of whom has his Earliest Of All, most of
which are essentially the same. or the
wrinkled kinds Champion of England
Is the best known, the standard with
which all others will be compared. The
Telephone is very large and fine. Lax
toms Alpha is the earliest of wrinkled
peas, and very satisfactory for minor
crops. All of these need sticks or some
kind Of trellis for support, as they grow
three feet and more in height. In view
Of the trouble Of procuring brush and
stalking the taller kinds, dwarf kinds
are very popular. The vines are from
10 to Is inches high and require no
stalking. The best of these is the
American Wonder, and there are num-
bers of others. Some of these yield
their whole crop at one picking, and the
ground may then be cleared off for a
small garden.

SALT AS A CHECK TO THE CnINcu
BUG.-Professor Forbes, the Illinois
state entomologist, is credited with
having said: 81 hvae no personal ex-
perience with the use of salt as a check
upon chinch bug increase, but from
what 1 know of the habits of that in
sect and the effect of other fertilizers,
l should not expect any important ad-
vantage, except in soil where salt will
specially stimulate the growth of the
grain. Some experiments with salt,
made within my knowledge by intelli-
gent farmers of southern Illinois, were
without noticeable effect.

A LOG CLoD-CRUsHER.-A log,
preferably Of oak or other compact, hard
wood, eight feet long and from eight to
ten inches in diameter, is prepared by
removing the bark, and tapering slight
ly toward the ends. About one foot
from each end a notch is cut deep
enough to admit a cham which is Sc
curely wrapped around the log. The
doubie-tree IS attached to this chain
about three feet from one end Of the log
and five feet from the other. The log
is thus drawn diagonally. If the
weight of the log is not sufficient an ad-
ditional n can be laid in front of it,
resting on the chain which is made a
little longer for this purpose.

She reflected a moment, and then said
gently:
"Harry, l recognize the fact that
each time I have answered you precise
" the same way. There has been moth
ing in my replies, so far, to relieve the
similarity" Then, after another pause
she said, still more softly:
Harry, l should hate very much to
be considered monotonous."

FARM NOTES.

BLOOD IN MrLK.-The presence Of
hood or red blood c~oipuscles in the
milk IS indicative of disorder Of the
granular substance Of the udder, which
may lie Of various kinds. The globules
or small divisions Of the milk glands
consist Of vesicles which contain the
globules of fat that are found in the
milk and cellular substance, among
which the capillary or exceedingly Tine
blood vessels ramify very closely. AS
these We ,icles break down and decom-
pose 20 form the milk, carrying with
them the fat globules, and are quickly
replaced by new structure, it is readily
perceived that it is very easy for the
capillary vessels, which contribute
through the blood both the albuminous
matter and the fat globules to form
these vesicles, to discharge blood under
unfavorable circumstances by which
any injury may be done or any excite
ment of the circulation or inflam-
matory or congestive condition may be
produced
Many causes may thus contribute to
this defect in the milk, and IL Is difficult
to state, or even guess, what the causes
may be. The remedy is TO soothe and
allay the excited circulation by cooling,
laxative medicine, and emollient and
cooling application to the udder. A
pound Of EPSON salts Is generally use
full, and warm fermentation Of the udder,
with a following application Of some
gentle stimulant, as camphorated soap
liniment.

PLowING SoD.-It is a question
rarely decided among farmers at what
time it is best to plow sod for a corn
crop. This question is best settled by
considering what is expected of this
operation. The great point is that the
corn crop shall procure a large portion
of its nutriment from it; another is that
the corn may be planted on fresh clean
ground so that 1t may get ahead of the
weeds by rapid and vigorous germina-
ton. How, then, can these important
points be best secured? Clearly by per-
hitting the heritage to grow as long as
possible, and by lettering the blowing
until the last moment. Then a large
quantity Of the most acceptable food
for the young corn is plowed under; the
soil is mellow, moist and fresh; planting
is done under the best conditions. The
seeds of weeds will sprout quickly and
a light narrowing before the corn is up
will destroy the germs and clean the
ground Of myriads of them, tightening
the after-labor of cultivating the crop.
A top-9ressing Of manure on the sol
before the blowing will be II great as
sistance.

GLASS BLOWERS TROUBLE.
The Men Mt the O'Hara Works Agitmed
About a New Mold.

The Men ut the O'Hara Works Agitafed
About New Mold.
The employees of the O'Hara Glass Com
pany, corner of Thirtieth and Railroad
streets, are becoming agitated over matter
that may lead to trouble between the firm
and themselves. On Sunday next meeting
ofLocal Union No. 4, Of the American Flint
Glass Workers Association, will be held to
consider the matter, when definite action will
be taken. -.,...-.
The officials Of the association say there is
no possibility of strike, although the men
are much dissatisfied.
The cause of the trouble is due to a mold
in use in the works by which the services of
one man are dispensed with. The mold is for
the purpose of giving polish to glassware,
and if it was not used another man would
be given employment The men have pro-
tested against its use. claiming that the
agreement between the firm and the associa-
tion does not allow it, and they are violat-
ing the rules in consequence. The firm
claims the machine is not violation of the
rules, as it is not used on finished ware.

A SINGULAR EXPLOSION.
Although Many Men Were Around the
Boiler None Were Hurt.

Although Many Men Were Around the
Boiler None Were Hurt.
A boiler exploded last night at the Pitts,
burg Foundry Company. Bennet. Nolives
were lost but John Spael, the engineer.
sustained deep scalp wound at the right
side of his head. His injuries are not con-
sidered fatal, although he is in dangerous
condition.
The explosion occurred about 6 o'clock,
just when the men were tapping a heat Of
iron from the cupola, and it was a most
miraculous circumstance that no lives were
lost, because the boiler is situated just at
the rear of the cupola. When the report
was heard the men around the furnace left
the molten iron to pour into the ladle, and
ran from the flying debris.
The east side of the building was torn
out, the patterns were scattered around and
broken into fragments, and the engine was
slightly damaged. The loss is estimated at
$500.
1t is supposed that the cause of the explo-
sion was defective sheet in the boiler; it
was, however, tested last October at 150
pounds, and it only carried 100 pounds at
the time it blew up. Two years ago yester-
day boiler exploded in the same place and
about the same hour.

FOR BUSINESS, NOT BANQUETS.

The PM American Delegates 20 Profit by
Their visit-An Industrial Exhibitiou-
The Programme for PitIsburg sight-
Seeing.
The Programme Committee on the enter
tainment of the South American delegates
during their short visit here met yesterday
and concluded their arrangements.
The visitors will arrive on Wednesday
evening from Cincinnati. On Thursday
the trip up the river, particulars of which
have been already published, will take
place. A return will be made by 8 or 6
o'clock in order to afford time for an in
spection OF the exhibits of minor phases of
local industry which it is proposed to hold in
Mechanical Hall on the same evening. D..
C. Ripley is Chairman of the committee
having this matter in hand, and to him all ap-
plications for space should be at once made.
The directors of the Exposition have con-
sented to facilitate the presentation of these
industries to the visitors by providing the
necessary motive power, etc. The shoe
manufacturing, nail and broom making ma
chimes now in operation will be utilized and
it is expected that the citizens will provide
an extensive entertainment in this direction
for the edifcation of the delegates.
On Friday the programme, as already
published, will be carried out, and in the
evening the visitors will sleep in their cars,
so as to be ready for an early start next
morning for Jeanette and the Grapeville
gas district, which they will take in on their
way East.
At the special request of the visitors there
will be no banqueting indulged in. but
their inner susceptibilities will not suffer on
this account. as the very finest service the
city affords will be placed at their disposal.
There is a strong hope among the members
of the Entertainment Committee that the
Philadelphia Company will see its way to
treat the tourists to display of gas lighting
similar to that presented by it on q recent
occasion.
Mr.. James B. Scott and other prominent
gentlemen will accompany the visitors on
their various sightseeing expeditions in
this district.

TERRIFIC COLLISION.
Patrol Wagon No. l Struck by a
Maddened Runaway.
A HORSE TRANSFIXED BY A SHAFT.
The Patrol Horses Run Away in Turn and
Nearly Collide With No. 3.
FOREMAN M'ANDREWS WAS INJURED

A collision between q runaway horse and
police patrol wagon No. /, which occurred
on Fifth avenue shortly before midnight,
resulted in serious and perhaps fatal injuries
to Thomas McAndrews, the driver of the
patrol wagon.
a gray horse, driven by young Scott, a
son of the blacksmith on New Grant street,
ran away on Smithfeld street near Seventh
avenue, threw the driver out of the sulky
and dashed south toward the postoffice.
Patrol Wagon No. was going rapidly
north on Smithield street, to answer call
from box %, at the corner of Eleventh
street and Liberty avenue. McAndrews
saw the runaway horse coming and tried to
pull to one side. There was not time, and
the horses collided. One of the shafts of
the sulky penetrated the breast of the off
horse in the patrol wagon distance of
eight inches and broke of. The sulky was
reduced to kindling wood and its horse tore
loose and escaped. The patrol team, re-
covering from the shock, started at terrific
pace along Smithfeld street. At that
moment wagon No. 8, from the Twelfth
ward, turned into the street with a load of
prisoners for the Central station. Another
collision was imminent. Officer Mean
drews tried in vain to hold his maddened
team. Officer Keller succeeded in catching
one of the horses by the bride and tried to
stop them, but in vain. The team was,
however, drawn to one side of the street SO
that it escaped wagon No. very narrowly.
The wagon ran against telegraph pole
and Officers McAndrews and Daniel Deal
were both thrown to the ground. In some
strange manner Officer Keller escaped in
jury.
Tom McAndrews was thrown upon his
right side upon the stone pavement. He
was unable to rise, and was conveyed to the
Central station by patrol No. 8. Coroner
Mcdowell happened to be near and at
tended to the injured officer until the ar
rival of DIR. Meyer. Mr.. McAndrews COM
planned Of pain in his head and in his right
groin, and it is feared that he is seriously
hurt internally. He was been for many
years on the police force, and was a Lieu
tenant until short time ago. He volun-
tarily relinquished that position to take the
place in the patrol service. He is very
popular in the department. Daniel Deal,
of patrol No. l, suffered slight injury to
his ankle, which made him lame. The
wagon was badly injured by the collision
with the telegraph pole. The wounded
horse could not be saved, and bled to death.
Young Scott, the driver of the sulky, was
arrested and will be held until an investiga-
tion can be made.
During the remainder of the night patrol
No. 3 was put into service for the Central
station district, while patrol No. was
called in from the Seventeenth ward to take
its place in the Twelfth ward.
