Grandma's Cure for Dandruff.

1--WE often scott at the ancient grand
mother remedies" said an up town ply
stefan the other day in conversation with
patient. 'but our forefathers used to
get power of comfort from them, never
theless, and cheaply too Science has
progressed wonderfully, Of course, and
we are much better off on the whole now
than were our sires, but wes forget a
great many of the little things. Now |
notice that you are troubled with dan
druf, and I'll wager that you have spent
many dollars on different alleged cures,
and you are worse off now than when
you commenced. Let me give you n
grandmother prescription that never
fails. Go to drug store and buy FIVE
cents worth of salts of tartar Dissolve
half of it in warm water and wash the
head thoroughly. Repeat this at inter
walls Of three months for year, and you
won't be annoyed with dandruff any

THE LAND q INVERTED ORDER.

Queer Freaks of Nature Seen in Aus
traIia and Vicinity.
In the following it is proposed to prove
that Australia can be termed 1.-The Land
of Inverted Order" In the Antipodean
wilds of that new South Pacific repub-
lie everything has some remarkable
characteristic popularity. Instead OF
the leaves having their fiat sides turned
to the ground they stand edgewise. The
opossnm of America is the only species
of paunched animal known to the world
outside of Australia. On the Australian
continent there are at least 10 species
having that distinguishing popularity.
They have been arranged into five
tribes. according to the food they eat
The root eaters twombats), the fruit eat
ers (phalangers) the grass eaters kan
garoos), the insect eaters and the fish
eaters native cats and rats, OF the
wombats there are four species, all OF
which burrow in the ground.
Two other very curious animals are
found in Australia that are unknown IN
any other part of the world. These are
the echidna and the ornithorhynchus.
This latter is a species Of beast shaped
like a beaver, but having web feet and a
bill like duck Then there is "a flying
mouse, about half the size of our COM
mon mouse and of bright red color. 1t
has very long, furry tail. which is used
as IA rudder and looks mucd like a feather
when fully expanded.
The trees are always in full leaf, but
shed their bark every year, which fact
alone would be sufficient to make the
Antipodean continent a wonderland.
The leaves of nearly all the trees are
highly aromatic, but the native flowers,
though of most brilliant tint, have no
fragrance whatever. In writing Of the
backward order Of things in Australia,
Mr.. N. W. Ullathorne says:
Australia is the antipode of the en-
tire world In that country a rising
barometer indicates rain, and a falling
barometer fair weather. The swans are
blark aud the eagles white; the mole is
oviparols and has ducks beak; the
dogs have n VOLTS head, a fox's tail, and
never bark. They also have bird with
tongue like broom, and a fish which
has part of the body belonging to the
genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale.
Many winged serpents are found there
| and fish with large feathery wings. The
emu is bird as large as an ostrich, but
instead of feathers has hair. One bird
| has note like II bell, another cries like
a child, while a third laughs as though
his sides would split.--St. Louis Re-
