The hair is tho covering of the roof Of
he home of thought and palace of the
3ul." Where badness, which sometimes
.ccurs in quite young persons, is hereditary
is doubtful If anything can be done to
.revent or remedy it. Avoid "restoratives"
nd other nostru1as. ,Grn3, az q rule, do not
lse pomatuIns or oils upon the head. The
borough Uss of q moderately stiff brush
will greatly promote the health Of the
caIp and prevent the falling OF the hair
Without ether application The hair should
)e occasionally washed, and If there Is
much dandruff the yotk OF an egg will be
most efficient ia removing it. Work the
egg with the fingers well into the hair, a
little at time, TO bring it in contact with
the scalp; then wash it out thoroughly
with water. and the halr will be beautifully
clean and soft.
Avoid all shampooirg liquids; those used
by BARRIERS are strong potash solutions.
They call it SALTS Of Wormwood" and
Salts Of Tartar" and use it without
knowing it's real nature. II is very effective
in cleaning, but ruirous 10 the hair. II the
falling of the hair is not prevented by
thorough brushing some stimulating ap-
plication may be made. Half an ounce Of
the tincture of can5harides added TO aquart
of bay rum will answer better than most
''hair tonics" But the mode of dressing
the hair must be controlled almost entire
ly by the fashion.
1t will be considered by many of our
lady readers a necessity to dress the hair
in the fashion of the moment, but we
should endeavor TO counteract, by careful
treatment, any injurious effects, such as
overheating Of the scalp, which produces
dandruff, irritation and possible badness.
Whatever style is adopted during the day
and evening the hair should be given the
utmost freedom during the night. All
cannot employ artists to direct the efforts
of the hair dressing maid, but every one
can see to it that simplicity and an appro-
pirate ensemble are presented. Nothing is
more unseemly than to see a noble, digni-
fed face marred and its true beauty de-
stroyed by some coquettish or frivolous
arrangement of the hair wholly out of
keeping with the general bearing Of the
wearer.-Halls Journal of Health.

INTERESTING RAILWAY DATA.

WASHINGTON, August 22-The report Of
Statistician Adams, of the interstate COM
merce commission, shows that the railway
property of the United States is controlled
by l ,705 organizations. The number of
men employed is 704. 743, showing that
1909 men are employed for every 100 miles
of line. This evidences greater efficiency
than is attained on foreign roads For eX-
ample. in England there are 346 426 men
employed, which gives | ,74S men for every
100 miles of line. The efficiency of the
men employed on American RAILWAYS is
shown by the fact that each
engine has carried what is equivalent to
2,274, 455 tons of freight one mile and 3S2,-
862 passengers one mile. The total num-
Der of passengers carried by rail in the
United States was 412, IA, ,343 The total
number OF tons Of freight carried was 539.-
659, ,5S}, the average haul of each ton of
freight was 1876 miles, showing a ton
mileage Of 6S, 127 .2223, l46 The table show
ing the equipment Of railways is
especially interesting 1t shows 90
O36 locomotives of which S019
are passenger and 15,1i0 are freight
locomotives: 7,70S passenger loCOmo-
tlves ana .743 freight locomotives are fitted
with automatic train brakes There are
961. .119 cars used. of which 25.665 are in the
passenger service and S5403l in the freight
service; 23,5f0 passenger cars and G66 5l3
freight cars are fitted with automatic
brakes.
The statistics of accidents show that
during the year $50 passengers have been
killed and 2,l46 passengers injured. This
shows l,523, 1873 passengers carried, and one
passenger injured to every 220024 pas
sengers carried. The rate of mortality
in England for the year 1883
is one passenger killed for every
G932, 336 carried and one passenger
injured for every 527, ,577 carried This dis
crepancy may, perhaps be explained by
the fact that the number of miles travelled
per ticket Is in this country much greater
than in England OF employees in the
United States 1872 have been killed and
2O,G2S injured during the year. These
figures show that one death occurs for
every 555 employees and one injured for
every thirty-hve employees Or if q similar

say for engineers, 1iremen. conductors and

How to Lace a Corset.

eff lace you must" said handsome and
smart actress to me, use three sets of
laees in your corsets, one starting at the
top and ending two or three holes above
the waist line of the eorsetS, to tie there;
the second starting at the lower edge of the
cersets, extending up TO two or three holes
below the waist line Of the eorsets, to tie
there; the third lacing the space left BE-
tween and tying just at the waist line.
Then reducing the size of your waist-that
is, pulling the middle cord-isn't going to
drag you into straight line above and be-
low the waist. Also you viii wear your
corsets, even though tight. with more COM
fort.
There is place-isn't there, dear doc
tors?-just about at the waist line, that I
think God must have left, knowing that
we would lace, Kill or no kin, where pres
sure can come without tying our necessary
and indispensable viscera into hard knots.
By the suggested arrangement Of cords we
can reduce the size of the waist with less
violent offense to heart and lungs and also
without sacrificing entirely harmony Of
outline Just make beauty and hygiene
clasp hands practically - every woman
knows what I mean by practicaIly-and
we will rejoice morethan the doctors.
"Oh! Right here I might as well suggest
elastic cord for the upper and lower strings;
and even for the one at the waist If you
dare. You will thereby gain a supplensss
in movement and pose which is worth
striving for, but which we cannot all of US
take off our stays to obtain, as does the
serpentine Sarah. Elastic corset lacings,
as 1 suggest, will at least prevent our look
ing as if we were padlocked into board
fence when we recline in an easy chair
say like Langtry with cigarette in one of
her AS in a Looking Glass pictures. -

ANOTHER MULTIPLICATION.
A Decision that Congress Can Not Pre-
scribe Suffrage.

JACKSON, Miss, August 22.-The judi
ciary committee of the constitutional con-
vention submitted its report today. 1t was
written by eX-Chief Justice Slmrall vet
eran Republican. The report refers to a
resolution requesting the committee to re-
port upon the effect of the act of congress
so far as it should affect the work OF the
convention re-admitting Mississippi into
the union, limiting the right of the state
TO impose certain restrictions upon the
right of franchise and otherwise prohibit
Ing the state from changing the consJltu-
tiOn. The committee says:
First-The fourteenth amendment Of the
federal constitution in terms recognizes
the right of the state to determine who
shall vote;these clauses which regulate the
representation of any male citizen of the
United States and Of the states are eX-
cluded from the franchise as case. 1t IS
plain in the opinion of the committee from
this section of the constitution that CON
gress can not confer suffrage, can not
make a voter and that we must look to the
several states and their laws and COnStitu-
lions to ascertain who are legally cOmpe-
tent to vote for federal elective officers.
The fifteenth amendment was en-
engrafed in the constitution for the
single purpose of laying an inhibition on
the state as to discrimination against the
cOlOTed man because of race or previous
condition of servitude The state has just
as large discretion in regulating the fran
chise as it has before its adoption, with
the single limitation that the regulations
which it prescribes shall apply alike to
both races. If, a property or education
qualification shall be thought wise or eX-
pedient, or if the payment of taxes or a
longer residence in state and county
should be deemed eXpedient, all may be
adopted provided they applied alike to
both races. We are of the unalterable
opinion that the re-admissiOn of this state
into the union fully and forever settled the
status of the states thus re-admitted, and
that the congress thereby lost all the con-
troll or jurisdiction over this matter and
the states thus re-admitted into the union
became at once ipso factO under the con-
stitution re-invested with all the sovereign
powers possessed by any and all the other
states. Action on the report was deferred.

The Bloom on the Check OF 9Taidenho ood.
There is an INDISPENSABLE expression in
the eye-every fne observer knows it
which distinguishes a modest girl from a
matron. Look for it in the eyes of our
girls today. II is missing SO often; it is
replaced by another so 1lwelcome, so
worldly wise, 50 Uupieasantly experienced
that we shrink with q sense Of hEving lost
the most precious thing in giTlhood- Il is
not our puFrcss 10 prove here that the lax
theatrical view Of life ia largely responsible
for this, but only % ask, By the way. how
far it may be responsible. Better, like the
Puritan lady, to shut the eyes when the
ballet comes. Better a simple, serious, IN
worldly ignorance OF the low ard vicious
coming Ia the naTne of the high and cult
ured. Better a Thousand fold the instinct

Mothers Should Remember.

That the abdominal cavity is packed
with its organs; that the liver alone eX-
tends two-thirds across it, and that tight
lacing deeply furrows the liver, sometimes
cutting it in two thin membrane alone
connecting the parts; that the full stomach
is thus often pushed up against weakened
heart, and the pelvic organs are so crowded
as to produce serious and permanent i'll
effects
That the lack of vitality in many chill
dren, by which they are rendered peculiar
ly susceptible to infectious diseases, is due
to deficiency Of pure air in their sleeping
rooms
That a child's brain is not in a condition
for study before it's seventh year, and that
when a child is precociOus there is special
reason for holding it back if it is to be
saved from brain disease, future dullness,
or possible imbecility
That no growing child should fail to have
at least nine or ten hours sleep in g well
ventilated room, and that no sleep is per-
feet with light in the room.
That children under II should not be al
lowed the excitements of evening parties.
That children, from the earliest prac-
ticable age, should be trained to habits of
self control in all directions.
That every mother ought to make it a
prime object TO secure and maintain the
fullest confidence of her children and her
normal influence over them.-Youth's

a Girls HaDpiest Hour,

Did you ever see girl, or, what is bet
ter, woman old enough to know what
love means, preparing for her lover after
long absence?
Her first thought as she wakens is: This
is the day he will come! And in moment
she is out of bed, and scanning the heavens
more anxiously than a sailors wife. If
fine she rejoices because the day is in har-
mony with her mood; if stormy she Sc
renely defies the weather, and tells herself
that so brave and so ardent lover as hers
would go through fire and water and
tornado and earthquake rather than fail
of an appointment.
She dresses from the skin and with a
tender and scrupulous care, although COM
mon sense would tell her that only the
outer garb could possibly be known or
appreciated. She puts her hair a trife
lower or a triae higher than usual; she
feels that never. never did it curl so badly
or wave so stifIiy, and she would really be
provoked, but-he is coming.
And the dainty stockings, and the choice
among the dainty boots, and the frilled
skirts, and at last the pretty gown, and the
laces and the ornaments, and the rose in
the bosom or the little bunch Of violets up
on the corsagel And then the room where
she will receive him! How she touches
the draperies into new folds, picks with
cred leaf or two from the flower vases,
moves a chair a little table and easel, a
bit of drapery that everything may do its
best to honor the place where he will pres
emily shine as the center of ell. And how
anxiously the shades and the curtains are
lowered aud draped to just the becoming
light, until finally he rings at the door,
she takes one last furtive glance at herself
and her surroundings, and then-the door
opens, she has the top brick of the chimney,
and the happiest hour of life is over!-Mrs

Rooipe for Laundering Shirts.

A laundress Of wide experience writes
that the doing of that most difficult thing
of all in laundry work-the doing up shirt
bosoms may be made highly successful by
observing the following procedure: Enough
cold starch to last several months may be
made of one ounce of white laundry wax,
two ounces of boraX, ono teacupful Of water
and three teacupfuls Of starch. The borax
and wax are dissolved in water, sufficiently
heated for the purpose, but not hot enough
to scald the starch; into this mix the pull
verized starch after passing it through a
-four sieve. In using take teaspoonful of
this prepared starch and dissolve in water
that is not cold enough to prevent the wax
from softening The hot starch is made,
not very thick, and a tesspoonful is allowed
to q shirt bosom, the hotter the liquid is
the better.
Apply tablespoonful at a time, rubbing
in we'll before putting on more, and after
the right side will take up no more apply
to the under side. Unless the starch is
well rubbed IN the iron Will stick and
Epeclls and blisters will appear The hot
starching is done first, the bosom is al
lowed to dry and then the cold starching is
done by dipping the bosom in the liquid,
wringing cut and rubbing slightly. After
an hour or so iron. first rubbing the bosom
carefully with a cloth wrung out in hot
water to equalize the starch on tAe surface.
A thin cloth is TO be laid over the bosom
the first time the iron is passed over it.
When this is renewed dsmpeH the surface
of the bosom little and finally iron care
fully until the finish Is satisfactory. Let
the outside cover Of the ironing board be
wooden cloth and the bosom viii not stick
to il.
