A Brides First Lesson.

A Brides first lesson is to respect the
extreme sensitiveness of her husband
who doesn't want people to know he
has just been married; consequently
she will be wise if, after her first jour-
ney, she assumes a gown that has seen
wear; if she will forget to look around
in startled manner whenever her hus-
banc is gone from her side, as it is not
likely that he is either gone to be lost
or stolen. The next thing is not to kiss
him or hold his hand in public, Or call
him darling" Any woman can make
a man feel her love without making
him ridiculous. Another thing for her
to learn is, when she is at a hotel, not
to grow confidential with the chamber
maid, not to give her a piece of her
wedding cake and tell her all about the
marriage ceremony, and tell her how
she looked. You think this is never
done? Ask at some large hotel. And
she shouldn't giggle or looked .surpris.
ed when she gets a letter from her
mother addressed to her in her married
name. Men are particularly sensitive
creatures about some things, and they
are rather given to think q woman
don't want name when she acts in
this way.

Papa. Be True TO Me.

The following beautiful and touch
ing lines were written by State Sena-
tor Henry j. Coggeshall, under pecul-
lar circumstances. At an informal
dinner given by one of the Senators
at Albany, the author of the lines vas
observed not to empty his glass Of
wine. When asked why he did not
he replied in the pathetic language
which follows. The mirthful flow Of
soul was instantly turned into more
thoughtful channels. The bonnie
blue eyed lass" was in the Senate one
day, and was christened " The Daugh-
ter of the Senate She is a remark
ably beautiful little blonde of four
summers, whose grace and sweetness
taught the Senate the old. old lesson
that after all a little child shall lead
them What a preacher this little
child is, and how happy the world
would be if all would hear and heed
such voices
What makes me refuse social glass Well.
Because bonnie blue-eyed lass is ever
standing by; So
And I hear her, boys, above the noise OF the
Jest and the merry glee,
As with baby grace she kisses my face, and
says: Papa, be true to me-"
Then what can do to my lass to be trne
better than let ft pass by,
I know you'll not think my refusal to drink
breach of your courtesy:
For / hear her repeat, In accents sweet, and
her dear little form see,
As with loving embrace she kisses my face
and says, Papa, be true to me.h
Let me offer toast to the one loye most
whose dear little will obey,
Whose influence sweet is guiding my feet
over life's toilsome way ;
May the sun ever shine on this lassfe of
mine, from sorrow may she be free,
For with baby grace she hath kissed my
face, and says. !" Papa, be true to me-"

The Treatment of pandrufr.

DR.. Edward Clarke states that he J
has had good result in persistent
dandruff from the following treatment:
The scalp should first be thoroughly
washed with soap and hot water, and
then thoroughly dried with warm
and soft cloth. There should then be
rubbe1 into the scalp glycerine of
tannin, Of the strength Of ten to thirty
grains to the ounce. Very obstinate
cases will require the higher strength
of tannin. This process should be-
reparted twice week at first, once q
week afterward. IF tannin fails, as it
will in some cases, then resort is had
to resorcin. After the formation of
dandruff has ceased the head should
be rubbed daily with olive oil, contain
ing to the ounce ten grains Of carbolic
acid and dram of oil of cinnamon.
