Michigan April weather was quite severe,
causing considerable ''heaving" in clay soils

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR.

If a lady's hair is very thin, before she
tries any restorer, the head should be
rubbed with the fingers every night for
half en- hour. If the scalp is perfectly
clean, the pores of the skin do not be-
come obstructed, and the roots of the
hair keep in natural state. Once a
month is sufficient to thoroughly wash
the head, but rubbing the roots of the
hair once a week with camphor and
borax wash prevents dandrutf and IN
creases the growth of the hair. The
wash is made By dissolving one ounce of
powdered borax and half an ounce of
camphor in quart of boiling water;
bottle when cool. It should be applied
with small sponge, and the hair well
brushed after.
In washing the head, soda should not
be used, but two teaspoonfuls of car
Donate of soda and an egg beaten uo in
the basin of water. Sufficient salts of
tartar dissolved in boiling water to form
a lather, keep the hair light as well as
clean. Cocoanut oil, too, is excellent for
promoting the growth of the hair. II
there is much dandruff, AN ounce of white
precipitate, mixed with half dram Of
creosote, should be rubbed into the scalp
every night for week. at the expiration
of which time the head should be well
washed and bathed with camphor and
borax. With clean brush remove any
exfoliation which may have been thrown
out.-New York Recorder.

CHINA FILES A PROTEST.
Three Reasons for Objecting to the
New Exclusion Act.

Tout Kwo Yin, Minister from China,
called at the State Department, Washington,
after learning that Congress had passed the
Chinese Exclusion bill, and said to Assistant
Secretary Wharton, through interpreter
Ho. that he desired to file protest against
the bill. and the document reached the de-
partment that afternoon. In it the Minister
saws that he objects to the bill mainly for
three reasons:
/. It renews the Scott law of 1888.
2. It deprives the Chinese of the right OF
bail in habeas corpus cases.
3. ItreQlires registration OF Chinese Ia
lborersf which it is practically impossible for
them to comply with. They must all prove
bv white witnesses that they are lawfully
entitled to be in the United States. and as
the first Exclusion act was passed in 1852,
every Chinaman must produce before the
Collector Of Internal Revenue white wit
ness who knew him ten years ago and who
can swear that he was in the United States
at that time.
The law leaves the issuance Of the certifi-
cate OF registration entirely to the discretion
of the revenue officer, and provides no way
OF compelling him to do justice to the
Chinaman he must register and produce
I. his evidence in the district where he
resides. His white witness may be
5000 miles away. Senators who have
carefully examined the Dill announced
in the Senate that its practical effect would
be to compel all Chinese laborers to leave
the United States within the year fixed for
the registration. Senator Sherman, Chair
man Of the Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES, said
this registration was similar to the slave
regulations in force before the Civil War
and to the ticket of leave of the Australian
convict system.
The Minister says that these features OF
the bill are in direct violation of the treaty
of 1880, which guarantees to Chinese
laborers in the United States the treatment
Of the subjects Of the most favored Nations.
He further says that the treaty OF 1889 was
the Government Of the United States, which
sent three Of its most disting uished citizens
to Peking to ask for it.

Wby the ..Red Sea-

Many persons have puzzled their
brains wondering why the "Red" Sea
should be so called. The name was origi-
nally applied to it because portions of it
are covered with patches from a few
yards to some miles square, composed OF
microscopic vegetable animalculae which
dye the waters blood red. When not
affected by these organisms the "Red"
Sea is intensely blue, the shoal waters
showing some shades of green.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO STAIN FLOORS.

It is astonishing in these days of dec
oration that so little is known of stains.
The subject Is not complicated. If you
wish to stain your floors get raw sienna,
Prussian blue, burnt sienna or anything
of that sort, and dilute 1t with turpen-
tine till it gets to the consistency OF
water. Burnt sienna makes almost a
mahogany finish. Raw umber makes an
excellent stain, if greatly diluted, and
very thin Vandike brown on Georgia
pine flooring has good effect; on white
pine it is better still.-The Upholsterer.

HOW TO COOK A POTATO.

The prevailing opinion is that every
one knows how TO cook potato---a
doubtful certainty after finding num-
Der of people who cannot, or do not,
pare one credltably. Aside from the fact
that the greatest amount Of "mealiness"
lies nearest the skin, the thrifty soul in
spects half-inch parings with disap-
proval; nor will patches of skin left on
here and there atone for the waste. A
blunt table knife is not the proper in
strument to use-let it be small, sharp
ly pointed knife, to deal with deep set
eyes and awkward protuberances. New
potatoes should be scraped whenever it
is possible.
There is an art in boiling potatoes
we'll. To cut them if they are not of
uniform size; to have just enough water
to cover, pouring off quickly at the
right moment before they fall to pieces;
these are some of the small things that
insure success.
It is claimed that certain potatoes
the later growing varieties cook better
if placed over the fire in cold water.
This can be easily tested for ones self.
Potatoes touched by the frost are slightly
improved by so doing; and whatever
their condition, it is a good plan to let
them lie in cold water short time be-
fore cooking. New York Observer.

PLAYED THE

A few nights ago q young man sat III the
w~aiting-room of a little railroad station
about ten miles from Philadelphia, DOING
awayt the hour that was to elapse before
his train was due. 1t was very warm in
side, and bitterly raw and wet outside, and
being protected from the storm had lulled
him almost to sleep as he Struggled into the
corner in which he sat. Suddenly the
door opened and a pretty girl with a shawl
on her head came in. She glanced at the
young man and he watched her from
under his dropping eyelids. She tip-toed
toward him and seemed bent on discover
ing just how fast asleep he was. There
fore he simulated deep slumber, and with a
sigh of relief the maid tiptoed away and into
the partitioned- off space wherein sat tie
Young mar w ho wasstation master. "Sli-is-

the girl; now don't muss me up, land don
wake him. I've just got about three min
utes. Charley, SO tell me just how much
you love me, and I'll run back" Then there
was a soft cooling in Charities g~entlest
voice, and the young woman said: Il
think your right hateful, why don't you
tell me you love me With all your life ard
soul and being, like the fellow did in IT,

dended sleeper, who also happened TO be a
telegraph operator himself. Quickly
pulling out Two half dollars he licked this
message sharply upon them. "Ah, there,
Charley. Go on tell her what she warts
to hear. Don't mind me-" The next in
slant there was a great pushing back OF
chairs in the inside Office. Charley glar6d
out through the door at the young man,
who was apparently again asleep and then
the pretty maid, blushing as red as an over
heated stove, darted out Of the door into the
night. The young man smiled in his sleep
until the train arrived.

FOOD.
A Theory That the Eating of Flesh IL

Many races of men live entirely on ami
NAL food, and these are the most hardy
aud from all l have been able to gather on
the subject the most free from diseases of
all kinds. Sin Francis Head says of the
Hampus Indians: "They are all horse
men, or, rather, pass their lives on horse
back. In spite of the climate, which is
burning hot in summer and freezing in win
ter, these brave men. who have never been
subdued. are entirely naked and have not
even a covering for their head. They live
together in tribes, but they have no fixed
place of residence. Where the pasture is
good there they are to be found
until it is consumed by their horses, and
they instantly move to another spot. They
have neither bread. fruit nor vegeta bles,
but they subsist entirely on the flesh of
their mares
Describing the effect on himself of this
diet, Sir Francis says:
After had been riding three or four
months, and had lived on beef and water.

only describe by saying l felt that no ex-
ertion could kill me, although l constantly

horses a day. This will explain tho im-
mense distances which people in South
America are said to ride, which | am con-
hdent could only be done on beef and
