For Good Hair and Skin.

OF late years general public interest has
been directed toward the improvement OF
the skin and the renewal of hair growth
to such an extent that many specialists
have investigated the question scien-
tifically, and medicines and remedies have
multiplied rapidly. The number of RENE
dies for badness and poor skin is as great
as those promising to reduce obesity, and
it REQUIRES some time for the sufferer to ex-
pertinent with the long list of those recon-
mended In fact skin diseases can only be
cured by certain powerful drugs which
are applied externally. and these always
compose the chief ingredients Of the
nostrums that are so widely advertised for
scalp, skin and kindred complaints.
OF the newer remedies for this class OF
diseases we have naphthol, which is one Of
the most powerful and safest antiseptics
that we know. 1t is especially valuable in
parasitic skin diseases, and it allays the
itching about as quickly as any drug. 1t
acts benefcially upon the head when one
is suffering from scalp diseases, and it has
a decided tendency to check the loss of hair
by making the scalp healthy. 1t has
stimulating effect upon the scalp, and it
not only prevents the loss of hair, but it
has in many cases increased the growth.
Convalescents from typhoid and erysipelas
are generally devoid of hair, and naphthol
renews the growth most satisfactorily

One of the bad spots in the negro char
acter, which has SO much good in it, is that
they are undoubtedly not strong in their
domestic affections. The best nurses in the
world, they are indifferent mothers. Their
babies are regarded as in the way, and the
mortality among negro children proves an
appalIing carelessness of their lives Con-
seouently there is not usually deep alice
ton on the part of the children. They
leave their parents with the utmost readi-
ness and an occasional letter is sent, either
to ask for money, which they don't get, or
to brag Of their success. Naturally the
Younger ones, born in freedom, have
loathing for everything that pertains TO
slavery They regard the old slaves with
contempt, and because the younger ones
can read and write they set the older ones
down as being too ignorant to be consld-
cred, forgetting that they were once ef-
ficient workers, and averaged superior in
morals and manners to their descendants
One of the results of this is the dying
out of the rich, melodious negro songs
not the songs of the negro MINSTREL
type, which were totally unlike the real
article. This is a very great pity. as these
songs were wild and charming beyond
comparison. In slavery times the negroes
were encouraged to sing. The wheat was
reaped to the singing of the reapers. and
the best singer generally headed the row.
The ones who could pick the banjo or
scrape the fiddle were peculiarly priv
ileped.-Boston Transcript.

Crows as Weather Prophets

The belief that two crows are happy
omen and that they appear to warn men
from disaster is very ancient. Alexander
the Great was thus saved in Egypt by two
crows, and King Alonzo would assuredly
have persisted in 1147 had it not been for
two crows, one of which perched on the
PROV anS the other on the stern of his
ship. so pointing the PROV of the royal
barge safely into port. Crows and rocks
are very much alike. 1t is said that when
rocks desert a rookery 1T forebodes the
downfall OF the family on whose property
it is.
They are also credited with being good
weather prognosticators When the wealth
er is about to be very bad they stay as near
home as possible, but when they foreknow
that it will be set fair they start off in the
morning right away to distance, where
they have an instinct that the food they
need is plentiful. Again, If the rocks are
seen venturing into the streets of town
or village it is sure sign of an approach
ing snowstorm.-Al the Year Round.

Benefit of a shrewd Mother.

"There goes Lillian Russell" said the
bachelor to the New York Recorders OBJ
server at the club window. Funny how
she came to The front. They were playing
'MaseOtte' at the Bijou good rlany years

chorus. She was noted for her beauty and
shapeliness of limbs, but she did not have
many admirers. One night the young
woman who sung the part Of Bettlna was

A Choru.GirI's Trials.

Many letters have appeared of late in the
English newspapers denouReing the atrca
managers for their failure to compensate
the choruses in the various operate pro-
ducttons during their long rehearsals be-
fore the theaterS open. 1t is declared that
the present custom is the direct cause Of
immortality. The operas which are now so
popular with the public draw together in
London a large number of girls who are
necessarily young, pretty and poor. Their
position is such that they are particularly
accessible to temptation and the managerial
custom of compelling them to subsist by
their wits for from six TO eight weeks al a
stretch renders many of them easy victims
to the men about town, who look upon
them As legitimate prey. The writer's of
the letters contend that ii the chOrus-girls
were paid a reasonable percentage Of the
salaries they draw when the operas are pre-
senieG. it would prevent many Of them
from falling, through starvation, into the
hands of men with money, who cOntin-
ually seek to debaueh girls Ia the choruses
and TO start them on career Of degrade
tiOn.

This evening Sunday constitutes a
twenty-nine consecutive weeks season at
the Grove. During that period the plays
produced weekly have been of meritori0us
class. For the last two weeks the act
ing company has been organized and
thereby improved. The production of
Clay NJ. Greene's "Chispa" the past week
was remarkable for its correctness of
scenic effects, properties. and also the cos
tuning. The stock company is vertably a
California sample of its talented present
generation. Miss Kate Dalgeish is a
pretty, versatile and accomplished young
actress, and was thoroughly enthused with
the part Of Chispa. Her rendering of the
rollicking thOughtless California mountain
girl was well appreciated, and the rest Of
tie company were respectively we'll up in
