BADNESS AND ITS CAUSES.

There are many different opinions as to
the cause of badness. Some Of the emf
nent medical authorities state that it is
caused by a form Of daudruff. This, it is
claimed, has been verified by taking the
hair which has fallen off IN such cases,
rubbing it up with vaseline, and after ap-
plying the ointment so made to the fur
of rabbits badness has rapidly made its
appearance on the parts 50 treated. When
v~aseline alone was uSed this result did not
follow. The same authority says that
the disease is spread by hair dressers,
who employ combs and brushes on their
customers, one after another, without re-
gard to the cleanliness of those articles.
Women are less liable to be effected by
this form of badness, for the reason that
their hair is usually dressed at home.
On the other hand some claim that too
frequent cutting Of the hair s detrimental.
The hair IL some respects resembles a tree.
| Suppose the gardener were to clip all the
limbs from a tree, regardless of the season
Of the year, as 0 as they were two or
three feet in length. How long could
the tree be expected to survive? There
is a fluid substance in each hair from
which the hair gets its nourishment the
same as the tree gers lCS HE ana growth
from the sap which is conducted from its
roots. Break the bark Of a tree and you
will soon see the sap running down the
trunk. The same thing is believed to
take place when a hair is cut, only it is
not visible to the naked eye. A number
of the better class of BARRIERS are endeav-
oring to overcome this evil by smuggling
the ends of the hair after cutting. This
Theoretically seals the end and prevents
the escape of any lid. This operation
is performed with the aid Of a small wax
taper. The hair is raised from the head
with a comb and the lighted 'aper passed
rapidly across the ends. The operation
is neither tedious nor unpleasant. Those
that practice this style of treating the
hair, state that much good has resulted
from the process Washington Star.

WHAT COLORS WILL PHOTO.
GRAPH.

The time was when the photographer
required certain colors in dress to produce
good effects. Now, with experience and
the improvements in chemicals, these re-
strictions are removed. He eau photo
graph white as we'll as black. Tae capa-
bic artist prides himself on his ability to
show the most delicate and elaborate lace
work on the bridal dress.
With these restrictions no longer neces-
sary, I would say-wear your most
becoming dress.
Blue and pink will photograph white.
Purple will appear many shades lighter
than it is in reality.
Red and deep yellow appear black, or
nearly so.
Strong contrasts in dress or trimmings
will give a gaudy effect.
Subdued and quiet colors make the
neat picture. For example see the pic
lures of nuns, or the lovely pictures of
Quaker ladies.-1he Ladies' Home JornGL.

WHO r THEY

THE man about town." who does the
local business for the Baltimore Free Press,
is a genius and never fails to make his
department of that journal entertaining.
In a late issue he says:
"For long time | have been perplexed
with seeing the great number of pretty,
stoutly-built girls on the streets Satur-
days. I pondered over the thing, o
dered whence they came, for some weeks
without getting any satisfaction why
this should be. Of course, I am well
aware of the fact that at all times our
streets are thr0nged with the faire3t of
the sex, but on the day mentioned there
seems an overflow, such as occurs in many
of our rivers on Saturday evenings when
the dams up stream are opened and the
waters rush along the creeks. 1 found
one cast Of countenance prevailing in
these pretty dears and the puzzle was
S lived. They are JeweSses going to or
returning from their Sabbath devotions.
The IsraeIite, like his Christian compeer,
seems to leave his religious duties to be
performed by his women folk, for they
attend strictly to business, with, of course,
some exceptions, the same on Saturday
as other week days. But just notice the
ladies the next Saturday you are on the
streets"

HOW TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS.

A girl, I know, said: "Im a great one
for making friends" 1t sounded as if
she ought to be very happy, but when I
had a minute to think I wondered if she
were good at keeping them. Making
friends is easy to the girl who is bright
and happy, whose society gives pleasure
and who is genial. But the keeping of
them demands more than this.
If you want to keep a friend don't get
too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts and permit
her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in the
way Of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive, wanting
to know why she hasn't done this, and
why she doesn't think as you do.
If you think your friends style of dress
is not beautiful, don't tell her; you only
offend her, because deep in her heart she
is convinced that she knows a great deal
more ABOUT it than you do.
Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the only
one given a corner in her heart.
Be as considerate Of her feelings as if
she were a stranger, and remember that
politeness is an everyday garment, and
not one intended only for h~igh-days and
holidays. To sum it up in. n sentence,
preserve the courtesy of the beginning il
you wish to keep friendship to the end

will ever confess elsewhere of the awful
tribulations of his march through the
African swamps and forests. His brother
explorers were aware of their COM
mander's love story, and many a tree in
the strange lands visited has dolly "
deeply cut into the bark. The natives
used to think it the sign of the white
chiefs fetch, and often Frustrated them
selves before it. In one of his letters
Stanley wrote such a narrowing account
of the suferings of his band, and gave
such a vivid picture of the death of a
gigantic negro slowly swallowed by a
huge serpent, that Miss Tenant swooned

Who smiles at me ever with angels love
From the depth of her dark blue eyes.
She was my first, my only love;
Forget her I never can.
Her love has followed me all thrO' life,
And made me a better man.
Hers are the lips I first tenderly kissed,
With love as deep as the sea;
Aud the last lips [ kissed, as l babe home

Were the lips that are smiling at me.

EXPLORER sTANLEY's BRIDE

Few young ladies in London are better
known than Mr.. Stanley's betrothed. Not
a festival of the year, from a flower show
or a First night" at the opera to a gar
den party at the Marlborough House, but
Miss Dorothy Tenants name appears in
the list of guests. She has acquired a
distinct fame in London for the quiet ele-
gance of her gown and the number and
variety of pa~rasols, which is, apparently,
a hobby with her, and she never appears
in the park, either riding or driving, with
out a cavalcade of admirers en- suite, which
has not been lessened by the announce
ment to the famous explorer. A clever
article, generally illustrated, in n of the
magazines or a striking picture in one
of the galleries keeps her always in front
in literary and art circles; in fact, as the
Princess of Wales remarked when con-
graduating Mr.. Stanly: "Ycu marry,
not only a very pretty and very charming
