Care Of tho Hair.

Don't wash the head in well water,
because the lime usually found there
in renders the hair harsh and dry,
also eventually killing off the young
roots reducing the finest head of hair,
in process OF time, to thin, why
mass. i'F
Don't use soap, for the same re-
suits follow, owing to the alkalies
which the very best makes contain,
and the impurities which preponder-
ate in cheap soaps. a,q{,. ~
Don't use a fine tooth comb in or
der to "clean the dirt out" OF your
head; the sharp teeth scrape the ten

but they quite as surely irritate the

II it be true that the corner stone

every woman, even in that sphere OF
family life which many arc tempted to
despise as too narrow for their ener-
gies. Every woman should, indeed,
aim at doing good in wider regions Of
life. and should endeavor by the IT.

the whole tone Of national thought
and conduct. But even If woman,
whether married or unmarried, be
snsver heard OF half o mile from

her ideal, the devoted unselfishness OF
her life, may tell with immense and
continuous power upon every member
OF her family. The bright invisible air
produces effects more stupendous
when no whisper OF breeze is heard
than all the fury of the passing hurri-
cane; and the influence, conscious and
unconscious, OF thousands of women,
entirely unknown to fame, amay 60 to
the ennoblement of the moral being of
generations yet unborn. Men are,
and ever will be, what their wives and
sisters, and above all their mothers,
tend to make them, by influence which

WHEN for q very considerable time
in any country IL girls are born for
every 10 boys it is clear that an old
maid must result from purely natural
causes, and that she is. other things

she were not an old maid. Which OF
the Il girls is to be the old maid de-
ponds somewhat on choice, but the
superintendent girl whoever she is
is necessarily an old maid because she
was born so in being the eleventh OF

she Is just as necessary as any one of

Bonnets and Hats.

The bonnets, as the season advanc-
es are exceedingly small, and even
the ronnd hats have tnken in their
Dimensions perceptibly. For theatre
wear, yellow velvet bonnet trimmed
with black jet in Spanish fashion is
frequently made up. There are also
bonnets OF bright rose velvet and
jet.
Jeweled trimmings are used to some
extent, but spangled gauzes, used i'll
combination with velvet, are espec-
tally sought tor. For every day wear,
bonnets are made Of the materials OF
the dress more than ever, and trim
med in some dainty, graceful manner
with twists OF velvet and OF gauze.
Trimmings of quilts are in demand
for round hats.-Helen Rowe in Good

ANDREA FERARA SWORDS.

Very Few OF the Gen uins Articles Are
Now In Existonee.
II one were to judge by the number
area the great Venetian swordsmith
must have done very large export
business This thought occurred to
me during the Glasgow exhibition in
1883. where there were at least forty
swords exhibited, all marked with the
name of Andrea Ferara." says a
writer in Notes and Queries. The odd
thing about them was that by far the
greater number had belonged to moor
land covenanters of Ayr or Lanark-
shire. and had figured at the battle"
Of Drumclog or Boutwell, Bridge.
Now. q fine sword blade was not q
thing to be knocked off like the
assay piece OF Zimmerman, but was
work OF high art and slow manu-
facture tempering the, steel being a
very delicate process. The price Of
such an article must also have been
high and far beyond the means OF a
moorland peasant as most OF the
owners were said to have been. That
such highclass weapons got into these
outof- the-way places was difficult to
believe Only the other day ! came
on an explanation OF the problem in
paper by the Baron de Cosson. F. S A.
This gentleman has fine collection
OF ancient armor and weapons and
probably knows more about these
things than any other person in this
country. Here are his remarks on
Ferara blades:
1T is also certain that common as
blades bearing tho signature Andrea
Ferara are in this country, scarcely any
of them are the work Of Maestro
Andrea de Ferari who gained such
renown for the superb temper OF the
blades which he produced in his work.

Boheim states that Andrea was born
In 1920 and died about 1888. 1t is
possible that a few of the finest blades
existing in Scotland and England bear
ing the name OF Andrea Ferara may
be his work; but as yet / know very
few which / can possibly attribute to
the master or even to the epoch when
he lived, and 1t is curious that the
Italian collections possess very few
even bearing his name. What is GER
tain is that for nearly fifty years after
his death Solingen turned out hun
dreds of blades bearing his name for
expectation to those countries where
a true Ferara was held in high repute,
just as it supplied false Toledo blades
to those where rapier was preferred
