AN INDIAN SHAMPOO.
How the Arizona AborIgines Dress Their
Iinir "A La 4 unhc.

Hair a Ia Adobe.
"lf by any chance one OF our Arizona
Indians should go into barber shop
and ask to have his hair dressed he'd
run out OF the shop when he discovered
the BARRIERS way of dressing hair"
said an Arizonian. The Indians out
there, both men and women, are very
fond of q shampoo, but don't believe
their way will ever become popular
among white foliis. Both sexes wear
their hair long, reaching nearly to the
waist, and cut square across. Now
they wouldn't think of such IL thing as
touching those raven locks of theirs
with brush or comb. When the Arr
iona Indian feels that his hair wants
doing up he makes Il thick paste Of the
adobe soil and watc~. He winds his
hair tightly about his head and smears
it from his forehead to the back of his
neck with PLENTIFUL supply of the
paste. so that his head looks as if it
were in plaster mold, for the clay is
gray and sticky. lie let's the adobe
east get perfectly dry, and then cracks
it off his hair, which comes from under
this novel shampoo clean. smooth and
glossy. 'Ehc women dress their hair il
the same way"

THE ONLY WAY.

If tho present ratio of increase in
lynchings holds out there will have
beon moro lynchings than legal exc
cutions in America in 1893. 1t is a
source of second rate gratfic alton to
the South that our Northern brethren
have gone into the lynching business
with considerable variations and trim
mings which are unknown below the
line for which we are under Obligations
to Messrs. Mason and Dixon.
Lynchings are object lessons which
declare that speedier law and more
certain justice are demanded, and these
two alone can persuade Judge Lynch to
close his court.

ROANOKE, VA, JUNE Z, 1893


Mayor Trout exercises sound judg-
mont in sending back to Council the
bill containing the clause limiting the
speed II railroad trains to eight miles
an hour in the city limits.
Tho Norfolk and Western has some
thirty miles of tracks in its yards at
this point. Roanoke is the most i'm por-
tant division terminus on the whole
system and more. trains are made up,
handled and passed through than at
any otner point. Any ordinance restrict
ing The speed OF trains unnecessarily
would work eerious injury to the city
and tho Norfolk and Western.
There las been no agitation in Roam
oko 10 limit the speed of railroad trains
and there have been very few accidents
at inc grade crossings from reason Of
extraordi mary speed of trains. A care
ful examination of the records con-
vinces IHE TINES that more accidents
have oc-urred at grade crossings in
Roanoke from engines and trains moving
at lesS than eight miles an hour than
from those moving at greater speed.
There arc now, too, three overhead
bridges 10 relieve the traffic at grade
crossings, and the ordinance referred to
seems unnecessary.
Thoro ara certain lines in which Coun-
Gil might direct legislation. We think
in regard 10 street cars that the motor
men should be compelled to slow down
aod stop on a signal from the driver of
a horse which shows signs OF fear, and
there is sound reason in restricting the
speed not alone OF street cars but of
bicycles ana vehicles OF all descriptions
in the public streets to asafe maximum.

A Thirty-Pound Catfish

The Roanoke river and the Now river
within twenty miles of each other. The
one empties into the Atlantic. The
waters Of the other find thor way in
time into the Mississippi and the Gulf
OF Mexico. That is why catfish in the
Roanoke river never weigh over two or
three pounds; and that is why catfish
taken from the New river may run to
thirty or forty pounds. Louis Scholz
had one OF the latter sent to him re-
Gently from Radford. 1t was four feet
long and as big as small halibut.
Louis had catfish steaks rolled in meal
and fried in butter for week, and then
had an elegant smother made Of the
head. In the Mississippi the catfish
sometimes weigh over 200 pounds.

RAISING CALVES.

A calf to each COW can be raised on
skim milk and little addit. onal food.
A calf may be fed skim milk when one
week old, with the addition of one gull
of boiled faxseed, increasing this ra.
tion gradually to pint per day when
four weeks old, and then adding fine
middljngs OF corn and oats ground to-
gether, or n pint to one quart of oats
unground.
Flaxseed Cruel, with plenty of skim
milk, will produce very fine growth,
leaving the calf as mellow to the touch
as if sucking the COW. A calf two
months old will gain three pounds per
day on this ration. The oil taken off
in the cream can be replaced for one
fifth of the money value of the cream.
Butter dairymen may raise calf to
each COW upon the skim milk and a
little additional food as indicated, and
get one-fourth to third as much
profit out of the butter. Selling but
