IT is quite refreshing to learn that
there was an absence of nonsense and
more attention to the business at hand
IN that Monte Carlo duel between an
unknown American and the Grand
Duke Nicolaiovitch, son of the late
grand duke OF the sam name, who in
lean, and we are proud Of him, had no
time to kiss his weeping friends or dis
tribute locks of his hair. He simply
walked out on the field and "blimmed"
tho mighty Romanoff straight through
the heart. We are sorry for the other
Nioholaiovitches but the affair may teach
them to coniine their duels hereafter to
foreigners.

To go out of doors in rough weather is

ed to face rough weather frequently. DIS
eases which arise from chill are peculiar
to no season of the year. This is true
therefore there should be in the closet of

but an excitive action, but tonic combn-

and an Alternative, the quality of defence
against changes of weather. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has three or four properties
that no other article of its class possesses.
Not only does it relieve the complaints
which 1t eventually cures, ii fortifies the
system against the bad effects of changes
of temperature. fatally and too often shown
in the deadly form of ''la grippe;" it pro-
duces radical change in the weakened
condition Of a system peculiarly liable to be
attacked 10y it. and it tends to provide
against the danger resulting from an i'm
poverished condition of the blood and dis

How to Wash the Hair.

For washing the hair small piece of
kitchen soap put in very hot water until
thick white sud is achieved is best.
Use this first water to cut out the dust,
and after that wash the soapy water out
of it thoroughly with clear water that
should be very hot, holding your head
over basin and letting it be poured
from small pitcher. Dry the hair first
with towels, and then do not braid it
while it is damp, but have it either
famed until it is dry, or, if possible,
stay in your room and let it hang loose
until it is free from all moisture. Do
not be induced under any circumstances
to use fine comb upon it; it is death
and destruction to the hair and not good
for the scalp. If there are obstinate
spots of dandruff, rub in little vaseline
and brush that place well the next
morning.

writing. In Good Housekeeping was
printed sketch called 1.-THE Philosophy

published series Of articles with origi-
nal illustrations upon Home Decora-
tion." She has also written descriptions
of beautiful homes, including those of.
George W. Childs and Thomas A. Edi-
son, and has published articles upon va
rious home occupations for women, the
rearing of bees and silkworms, the cul-
ture Of small fruits, jelly making, pick

made more useful by containing the
data of cost, labor and profit to be ex-

How the Signature Of Cross Came Into
Use.

The mark which persons who are una
BILE to write are required to make in
stead of their signature is in the form
of cross, and this practice, beving
formerly been allowed by kings and no.
bles, is constantly mentioned as an in-
stance of the deplorable ignorance Of
ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably proof of ignor-
ance. Anciently the use Of the mark
was not confined to illiterate persons,
for among the Saxons the mark Of
the cross, as an attestation of the good
faith of the persons signing, was re-
quired to be attached to the signature Of
those who could write as well as to
stand in the place of the signature of
those who could not do so.
