The Head and Hair OF Infants.

The heads Of infants should not be
washed in brandy, whisky. spirits
Of hartshorn, or other stimulstiny
WASHES They DO no good, cause
pain, and may 50 irritate the tender
scalp a. 10 cause disease.
For cleans ny the head, SOAP and
water, or water with a little orax
IN II, are all that is needed. After
washing the scalp n soft hair brush
should be used. This will remove
any dirt or dandIufr. and will not
lrritite the skin as a CONT would Ice
likely TO do.
The hair Of both boys and girls
should he kept short till eight or
nine years OF age. This will con-
uuce 10 cleablines-; prevent a g-eat
deal Of trouble in cOmbing and
washing; will leave NO harbor for
The abomiuable creepers to which
children are exposed; and, by keep

drrn less liable tu the infiaumatnry
affections Of the brsit-to which
they are strongly pre,iispose,i at
their time OF life. Thus managed,
the hair will he smO TIN anu glossy;
sores and disgusting accommodations
ON the scalp will lie prevented;
trouble will be saved; and the
health, comfort and happiness Il
mother and child greatly promoted.
The custom Of putting caps ON in
ftnts, having been abolished 10y all
weli-inforued people, It il hardly
necessary To say that the practice
should bv abandoned 10y all, As the
head Is warm enough without the
cap, is very likely to he too warm
with IL, and in this way causing the

are 50 prone.
