PRESENTATION OF THE HAIR

The first and most important condition
of preserving the health and attractive
ness of the hair is that it shall be kept
scrupulOusly clean, yet in many cases
this is not by any means an easy task.
There is nothing for which dust has q
greater affinity than thick head of hair,
especially when slightly damp or oily.
The flying particles lodge indiscriminate-
ly among the most attractive tresses or
the unkept shock of the careless laborer,
and once lodged they cling with greatest
persistence. Especially when travelling,
the exposure to dust neceSsitates CON
slant care in keeping the head and scalp
clean. The face would tell its own story
after week or so Of expOsuee, but the
scalp is covered and the hair is a partner
in untidiness. Usually, hair which is
brushed for a few minutes night and
morning will require comparatively little
extra care to preserve it in beauty and
cleanliness. The brush is very much
more efficient than the comb, but of
course a time comes when neither will
meet the requirements; and at reasona-
BILE intervals, depending upon circum-
stances, a careful washing of the hair
and scalp is necessary This will be
greatly assisted if a little ammonia or
borax is added to the water, which
should be merely warm, neither hot nor
cold. Another very excellent applica-
ton in this connection is an egg
thoroughly beaten and well rubbed into
the roots of the hair, which should be
merely warm, neither hot nor cold. An
other very excellent application in this
connection is an egg thoroughly beaten
and well rubbed into the roots of the
hair, which, of course, must be immedi-
atcly and carefully rinsed, else the con-
ditiOn will be worse than the first. 1t is
a mistake to suppose that any hair dress
ing, pomade, or other application of that
sort will cleanse the scalp. They merely
add another element of vcxation, attract
ing and holding the dust and the dirt,
which dry brush would very generally
remove.
PrOmiscuous washing and frequent
wetting of the hair is very detrimental,
especially sea bathing, unless the salt
water should be carefully washed out of
the hair with fresh, soft water, and the
hair carefully dried. Keeping the hair
damp has an especially injurious effect,
not only rendering it brittle and rough,
but causing a disagreeable odor, which
is annoying to every one, and which can
be easily prevented. When the head is
to be washed, warm soft water with cas-
tile soap should be used. The hair
should be Immediately dried. An occa-
sional shampoo, with vigorous rubbing
of the scalp with the finger ends, not
only removes dirt and dandruff, but as
sists the circulation and promotes
healthy condition. As soon as the hair
has been dried it should be carefully in
spected. The broken ends should be
clipped TO promote the growth, and this
can generally be as well attended to at
home as at the hands of a professional
hair-dresser.- Good HOuSekeepiRg.

TBE VATICAN CoDEx.

The Rev. DR.. Philip Schaff, who has
visited the Vatican Library and been
permitted to examine its treasures, gives
an interesting account of the Vatican
Codex, which is the oldest manuscript
of the Bible known to exist. and the
most valuable of all:
ut numbers 1886 pages, including the
supplement by another hand, or 1918
pages without the supplement. 1t is
written ON the finest vellum, in small
uncial letters, in three columns. by the
hand of expert scribes, and exhibits
great care. There are no divisions of
chapters or verses, or any other breaks,
which were introduced in later manu-
scripts. The several books read like one
continuous work. 1t contains both the
Old Testament in the Septuagint version
and the New in the original Greek. The
titles of the book are very brief
According to Matthew To the
Romans etc. The title saint is not
found in the oldest manuscripts. The
apostles are simply called by their
names, as in the text of the New Testa-
ment. The order of the books varies
from that of our vulgate, and is as fol
lows: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts,
James, Peter, III Peter, John, III John,
III John, Jude, Romans, | Corinthians,
III Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians,
Philippians, Colossians, Tlessalonians,
IL Thessalonians, Hebrews till o.: Il. II
will be seen that the Gospels and Acts
are given in the order of our Bibles, but
that the Catholic epistlcs, so-called pre-
ccdc those of Paul. The pastoral epistles
TO Timothy and Titus are wanting, and
the anonymous Epistlc TO the Hebrews
breaks of at the bottom OF the third
column of page 1918, with the fourteenth
verse of chapter .. The remainder of
that epistle and the Revelation are lost,
but have been supplied by a later and
| inferior scribe.

WEAK WOMEN.

The more sensitive nature of the fe
male sex renders women much more sus-
ceptible than men to those numerous ills
which spring from lack of harmony in
the system. The nervous system gives
way, sick headache is frequent, the appe-
tite is lost, and other ailments peculiar
to the sex cause great suffering. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted fOl
such cases, and has received the most
gratifying praise for the relief it has af-
tOrded thousands of women whose very
existence before taking it, was only
misery. Il Strengthens the nerves, cures
sick headache and Indigestion, purities
and vitalizes the blood, and gives regu
lar and healthy aetion to every organ in
the body.

LABOR THE ONLY
ROAD TO
SUCCESS
BY Miss Eva Taylor.

Labor as defined by many is to ex-
ert muscular strength to act or move
with painful effect, particlarly IN servie
occupations to work, and toll There
are two general classes of labor viz.
physical and mental. Physical lobor is
to put the muscles IN motion by
some exertion of the body; while men,
tai labor is the operation of exerting
the intellectual faculties. Each is very
essential to success IN life and many
often make a sad mistake, in not think
ing so. Says one 'lVhat ever IS for
me will get it; God has promised me
a living; | will fold my arms and wait
until he showers down the blessing. No
effort has been made of body, Or mind
and vet such one thinks to secure the
coveted desire that all the necessaries
of life will be supplied as freely as the
AIR he breathe and the water he drinks.
This is the wrong Idea, we must
labor for what we want and strive
earnestly to attain it. Alexander The
Great, by laboring hard succeeded in
making himself known as the master of
the world and one of its greatest gen.
erals. He toiled with patience and
persistence having ever III mind the
fact that. There is no exertion with
out greatlabor. Wonderful are the result
of labor, what would our country be
with out it. There have been grand
and noble things done through it, and
success is awaiting those who labor, el-
ther with body or mind to produced
some useful results. By the dihgent
labor of Edison the beautiful electric
lights are seen throughout the country
and it is recognized as one of the
wonders of enventlon. Labor is a two
fold blessing, first it makes the qody
healthy and strong. Secondly If sue
cess is reached at all it is by constant
and dilgent labor. This was stiking-

A LOST CORNER STONE.

How New York City Began n Washfn9ssD
Monument
New York city sadly confesses series q
failures i'm the monument line. She inSls9e
that she win erect monument to Cen
Grant and that it will be a beauty and =
glory, but her past experience in beginning
such things and then abandoning them is both
audicrous and discouraging Most ridiculous
of all, perhaps is the fact that she once laid
the corner stone of Washington monument
with imposing ceremonies, then forgot all
about it, allowed the stone to besold with the
ground and has lost all trace of it The his
tory is to the asst degree curious, and highly
illustrative of the intermittent nature OF
American enthusiasm.
In the year 1882 there was great revival
of patriotism in the city. II was the centen-
NAL year of Washington's birth, and the cit.
ixens determined that a monument to him
should rise at once. In 1888 eighty citizens,
with Governor Morgan Lewis at their head,
organized and obtained charter. Noone now
knows what they did or why they did moth

wss formed, and that got so far as to secure
