ALL ABOUT THE HAIR.
"Don't Wash It," Is the Advice of an Eek
perienced Hair Dresser,


Constant brushing of the hair has
much to do with making it soft and
glossy As well as keeping the scalp
clean by an occasional washing with
pure soap and soft water or the white
Of an egg. One of the best hair tones
is made from rum and quinine The
object of brushing the hair is not only
to stimulate the scalp and keep it free
from dandrutf, but to keep it free from
eTery particle of dust its entire length.
For the latter purpose brush with
closely set bristles is necessary.
Don't wash your hair This is ad-
vice given by woman who has been
at the head of leading hair dressing
establishment for the last twelve years.
She says further;
- Uellevc the average young woman
browns the life of her hair by frequent
washing in hot and cold water We
send out about twenty-nine young
women who dress hair by the season,
contracting for the entire family. They
plan to give each head combing twice
a week, and, by special arrangement,
make house-to-house visits daily, Not
drop of water is put on the hair, and
every head is kept in clean and
healthy condition. We pin our faith tc
a good brush, and prefer a short
| bristled, narrow brush, backed with
olive or palm wood. We use the brush
| not only on the hair, but on the scalE
as we'll.
"a maid has to be taught how to
dress and care for the hair by object
lessons. The instruction is part of my
duty. In teaching one novice operate
on the other. The first thing to dc
when the hair is unpinned is to loosen
it by lightly tossing it about, The
operation need not tangle it, and as the
tresscs are being aired they fall int
natural lengths. Instead of beginning
at the scalp, the first combing should
start at the end of the hair. In othel
words comb upward in order to avoio
tangling, breaking and tearing tn,

remove the dust. After this the scalI
should be brushed thoroughly. BY
this mean that full hour should b,
spent first brushing the hair, and ther
the head.
Zone of the finest heads of hair
know belongs to a young girl witt
makes it a point to occasionally conf
out her long tresses, lying her head OF
the sill of an open window, let her hal
float outside, blown by all the winds o

This seems an idle proceeding, but it i

PEACHES AS MEDICINE.
Incy Are Good for the Blood, the Diges-
ton and the Co IN plexion.


A dish of peaches is better than
dose of medicine. There seems to be
difference of opinion as to whether or
not the fuzz on the skin is injurious,
but the doctors. agree that the ripe
peaches rank with the best of summer
foods. Seed fruits, particularly figs,
Strawberries, blaclIberries and cram
berries, aid digestion; grapes, grape
fruit, lines and oranges are prime
| apperients; apples dates, melons, cher
ries and plums are nOurishing and re-
| freshing, but peaches are a tonic, an
aperient, a food and drink combined:
or to put it briefly, they are meat and
medicine.
good meal may be made on cut
peaches, with sugar and cream, bread
and butter, and, considering the un-
| wholesome character of the water sup
| ply just now it is a lunch for man and
child, After repast of this sort the
individual will feel more like attend
ing to the duties of the afternoon than
if he or she INDUCED in heavy food.
Peaches are good before breakfast and
after dinner; they are good for the di-
gestion, good for the blood and good
for the complexion. Some people eat
them without cream or sugar and with
good result The fruit is so rich in SUI
gar and acid that it preserves its flavor
a long while, but to get the full benefit
it should be eaten as soon as it is cut.
Redness of the nose, due to conges-
ton, infammed complexion, scrofulous
and bilious tedencies are said to be ma
terially influenced by liberal con-
sumption of this luscious fruit. Mixed
fruits are always advisable, but the
peach in season, used as an alternate
with plums, cherries, melons and ber-
ries, will vanquish the enemies of the
complexion. This is a peach year The
market is supplied by the California
crop but harvest is expected about
the middle of August from Michigan,
Delaware and New Jersey. 1t will
profit the girl who studies her glass to
leave off drinking ice cream soda and
eating meat, pie and candy and give
the beatifying peach chance to cool
her blood and tone up her digestive sys
TEN. The complexion, whatever it may
be, depends upon the health and con
stitution, and it is from hygienics and
not cosmetics that permanent improve
ment must come.-Chicago Post.

TO A WEED.


You hold me by spell, dear flower,
Though others call you weed,
Bright blessing OF the common ways
For praise you need not plead.
Your swaying shields Of tender white
Hold more OF posies' theme
For me, than all the witchory
OF moonlight dream.
For in the sunny south know
You food with silver light
The happy fields and woods wherein
Iroamed, loveS proselyte.
Twas there you taught me how to sing,
For, looking with loves eyes,
thought your disks were wondroIs blooms
From paradise
And now, lest y,u should lose your grace,
When through the fields HE,
bend my head, that none may trace
The love-ligh, in my eye.
Lest other heats your sorcery
Might quicken into flame,
will not show your charm to them
Nor breathe your name.
