The girl with the crumpled hair is
fashionable nowadays. And nine times
out of ten she is blonde. Have you
noticed that2 If so, do you know the |
cause Well I'll tell you. Blonde hair,
being naturally finer than black, is
easier crimped and stays crimped
longer. Besides when the hair is cut
short, the neck is exposed to view, and
the skin of blonde possesses peculiar
whiteness which renders its exposure
attractive. This, in addition to the pre-
vailing reckless waist, is the occasion
for the blonde girl with the crumpled
hair. Her real rival is the semi-brunette
that is to say, the girl with black hair,
gray eyes and a complexion like alabas-
| ter. Given a head of crumpled black
hair, a big black hat with black plumes,
| black dress with a reckless bodice,
and you have the gingham girl of the
summer who will run a tight race with
her sister, the blonde.

A method for the publication of
water polluted by sewage and colored
by dyestuffs, which has proved success
full in the case of one of the most extern
sive velvet manufactures of Austria, is
being studied with great interest by ex-
perts in this country, who have been
|
years. Briefly, the water is purified by a
system of cleansing basins. There are
| three basins employed, which communi
cate with each other, SO that the water
flows easily from one to the other. The
dirty water runs at the commencement
In the first basin, in which it collects
during the day, remaining there some "a
to 30 hours, the greater part of the inn
purities being thus deposited, and the
upper layer of the water becoming more
or less clear. The sluice gate is then
opened, and the partially cleansed
liquid escapes into basin number 2.
while during its flow lime water should
be let in to precipitate the remaining
impurities, the contents of the basin
being allowed to remain standing for
some 80 hours, during which time the
comes fairly clear. Finally, the con-
Meeting channel between basins 2 and 3
is now opened and a mixture of sui
phate of iron and sulphate of magnesia,
or bitter salt, is made to flow into the
escaping water. which. after standing
some 80 hours, is allowed to escape into
the river or creek.
go light on ice water" is the advice
given by n medical man to q reporter
the other day. 81 have Just come from
the bedside of a man who is in a serious
condition from over indulgence in that
great American arrangement. Drinking
ice water, when very warm, is to ex-
pose ones life to great peril. The
stomach has a temperature probably
not much below 100 degrees. Imagine
the effect of putting into it water the
temperature of which is about 40 de-
grees."
There are tricks in all trades. While
chasing the elusive item the other day,
fell in with a farmer who was bring
ing some eggs to market. They We're
pretty good, looking and the owner in
reply to question said that they were
"blooded stock" and added: eff these
eggs were sold for Matching they would
fetch something over dollar a bakers
dozen, but they are to be sold for eating
purposes at the regular rates." MAY
they not be used for hatching," I in
r quired. "Well, I guess not" said the
farmer, ''you city folks don't know
everything" These eggs will never be
used for Matching, or some one will get
badly left. Before leaving home 1 run
a very fine needle through the butt end
, of each so as to just pierce the inner
skin. This trick doesl away with all
hopes of Matching the egg, but does not
, injure it for eating purposes" This
practice, my informant added, is as
old as the hills.

Everyone in the habit of using the
, telephone must have been struck time
: and again by the highly unpleasant
|. noises transmitted by the instrument.
, These noises are sometimes so loud and
, of such peculiarly Earring character as
to become exceedingly unpleasant, and
often compel the listener to remove the
instrument an inch or two from his ear.
: To prevent these "induction noises,'' as
they are termed, has always been IA mat
ter of Importance, especially in long.
! distance telephony, but has hitherto
p proved a matter of no small difficulty
An instrument has been devised TO,
utilizing the force which would other
wise be wasted in producing these
noises. 1t is called the phonomore, and
4 is intended for use along with other in.
. struments used in telegraphing. The
phonomore stops ordinary currents
while it allows vibratory impulses tc
pass through.
