The Care of the Hair.

Inc CaFe Oh the
The best hairdressers tell us that it is
quite an easy matter to wash the hair too
often and thereby destroy the vital oils es-
sential to its growth. The use of bay rum
or any stimulants, or of borax or alkaiis of
any kind, is condemned by some of the
authorities. One of the best things for
washing the hair is the white of an egg.
which is especially nourishing on account
of the albumen which it contains 1t
should be rubbed thoroughly through
every part of the hair and rinsed out with
tepid water. 1t will require repeated rims
ing before the water runs clear, but not
until then is the process thoroughly ac-
complished.
When applying the white of the egg rub
it in with the tips of the fingers, touching
every part of the scalp and continue this
vigorous manipulation of the scalp for sew
eral minutes Where any soap is used the
best quality of white CASTLE is alone allow
able. Some hair is so naturally dry and
free from oil that a little pure vaseline
should be applied after it is washed and
dried. Other hair possesses enough natural
oil in itself and does not require any such
addition. Where the hair has become dead
or does not grow vigorously, a preparation
of rum and quinine or some of the various
tonics of quinine sold by trustworthy hair
dressers will be found valuable
There is an excellent one which has in it
portion of oil of neroli or the essential oil
of bitter oranges as component part. This
gives refreshing fragrance and is possess
ed of valuable tonic qualities. The hair
should be clipped monthly. This assists
the growth materially and stimulates it,

The Laughing Plant.

The laughing plant grows in Arabia, and
according to I he Medical Times, is so call
ed by reason OF the effect produced upon
those who eat its seeds. The plant is of
moderate size, with bright yellow flowers,
and soft, velveJy seedpods, each of which
contains two Or three seeds resembling
black beans. The natives of the district
where the plant grows dry these seeds and
reduce them to powder. A dose of this
powder has similar effects to those arising
from the inhalation of laughing gas. 1t
causes the most sober person to dance,
shout and laugh with the boisterous ex-
element of mailman, and TO rush about
cutting the most ridiculous capers for
about an hour. At the expiration of this
time exhaustion sets in, and the excited
person falls asleep, to awake after several
hours with no recollection of his antics

Another Use for Iron Tubes,

A new use has been found for tubes pro-
duced by the Mannesmann process, says
the London Ironmonger. At the funeral
Of Count Won Moltke the troops were
equipped for the first time with lances, the
shafts of which, instead of being wood. as
usual, were formed of very thin steel
tubing, made al the Mannesmann works.
The tubes are, it is said, actually lighter
than wood, while at the same time posses
sing much greater elasticity and strength.
The only drawback appears to be less Sc
cure grip which The metal surface offers as
compared with wood.

GATHER Rosesups WHILE Ye MAY.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
Old time Is sfin a-fying,
And this Same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp OF heaven. the Sun,
The higher he's a getting
The sooner will his race be run
The nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer,
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while you may go marry,
For having lost but once your prime
You may forever tarry.

be aimed and fired with the greatest ac-

without their even seeing the object to be

training the gun as to cause the object to
