Chudren's hair.


Nothing is more becoming to the pi-
quaint face Of a little girl than short
hair-sither the loose curls that are the
natural heritage Of many small misses
or the straight hair which falls 10 the
lot OF Others, trimmed close. 1t is u
relief TO the child In summer, and all
the year round is q sensible way that
she should wear her hair. When she
reaches the 2 of : or s, il should be
permitted TO grow, the ends only being
trimmed thereafter, At Is the beauty
of the hair will largely depend upon
the care bestowed upon it, In the mat
ter Of brushing, cleansing and the ike
during the 10 years following It's being
permitted to grow,
Too much washing, particularly In
bOraX or ammonia water, is very trying
and embedding TO the hair. Use these
drugs on the brushes, keeping them
scrupulously clean, and let them ia
turn brush out the dust from the hair,
very occasionally cleaning the scalp
aud hair with the white of an egg, fol
lowed by careful rinsing in tepld water
and thorough drying.
As soon as its length will permit the
girls hair NAV be braided. This els
preferable TO letting it ly-a practice
that roughtens and breaks it, making
uneven ends. Tangles should never be
combed out-always brushed. The
tearing u Of a little knot or snarl Of
hair with a comb, which many girls
think is the only way TO do, is atroctous.
Perseverance, in brushing will u%nravel
the most obstinate snarl-not by re-
moving the lock bodily,as with a comb,
but by separating the hairs and really
untying the knot.
Pretty she'll clasps, held By q she'll

loose braid or three dropping curls at the

IL is an additional word OF advice 10
mothers to watch the condition Of a
child's hair as an index OF its health.
It's lusterless hair, brittle and with a
tendency to fall out, evidences want OF
nutrition at the roots, which in turn
denotes q physical degeneration Of
some sort. Often attention to diet,
ventilation of sleeping rooms, exercise
and other aids to a better physical con-
ditiOn will first show 10 an Improvement

bow go clean Lace.

Very fine, handsome laces should not
be washed / a the ordinary way. If only
slightly soiled, they may be cleaned by
rubbing into them powdered chalk or
calcined magUesla, the piece being
spread out on soft white cloth or
white paper, thoroughly covered with
the chalk and then, with a second
piece OF cloth or paper, the whole be-

feet peeping from under the coverlet.

The Woman OycIiss.

A common land commonplace) argu-
ment against the woman cyclist is that
she is not 8 picturesque feature OF the
landscape. l doubt whether an un-
preiudiced observer, iwho had never be-
fore seen either, would not say that q
woman on a we'll adjusted wheel looked
as well, il not better, than a woman
sitting in a'bunch on 4 side saddle. The
difference is largely in the fact that
the women who ride horses usually be
long to the class that eau afford 10 make
the most Of themselves under any cir
cumstances, while heretofore the ma
lority of women cyclists have been Of
the class that must consider time and
money so carefully that they could not
always be well dressed. Society women
are beginning to find out that in some
respecs the bicycle is more convenient
and trustworthy steed than a horse, aud
when good tailors learn TO make wheel
ing costumes as we'll as they now make
riding habits-And at the same exorOi-
tant priees-we may begin to think a
pretty girl shows to as much advantage
on a wheel as on a horse.-Kdte Fields

Rounded on a FalIacy

This whole country of lone vote, one
sword" is founded on a fallacy. The
parbarous tribes that were wont to put
women in the van as fighters have all
died out. By the process of natural
selection the mothers, who are makers
of men, have been guarded in time OF
war by all nations that were fiji TO sur
vive. The women have a greater role
than that of fighting. They are the
fountain Of the race, at which it re-
cruits its losses, p%erpetuateS its hopes
aud conserves the results OF victories
already gained.-FruRCcS H. Willard.

Wbv Tafsr Becomes White.

You have often wondered and have
even gone so far perhaps rs TO ask your
scientifically inclined friend why candy
or taffy made from brown sugar, or
even molasses, becomes white by pull
ing and working. The question is not
a hard one TO find an answer for, pro-
vided you look in the right place, but
it is ten chances to one that you have
never seen a solution Of the enigma In
print.
First the exposure to the air and the
friction evaporates the sirup, which
contains most of the coloring matter,
and facilitates the oxidation or
the carbon in the sugar, which is
always white. Sugar contains eleven
atoms Of oxygen 30 twelve OF car
bon and IL of hydrogen. The strip
drained from this same sugar in the re-
fniug process not only contains more
or less ~coloring matter. but has q
smaller proportion Of oxygen ID he
amount of carbon.

A mans everyday suit, whether he is
q millionaire or a clerk, Is built on the

the superiority OF make and material in
the former. For wear, style and com
fort the mans dress is scaCely suscepJ-
ible Of Improvement, while, alas! that Of

toilets of the BUTTERFLIES Of fashion are

In London and Paris all Of the female
employees 10 shops wear black cashmere
or silk gowns, the latter in the high
class establishments. These gowns are
furnished by the firm. In America II
is fast becoming the custom for the
women Ia the better class shops to wear
black dresses, with neatly starched
linen collars or cuffs. However, the
cut Of their garments is often poorly
adapted TO their callings. IL faShiOna-
women adopt skirts which touch

COREAN WoNpERs.

-
The Empress lingo and Takemon-
chi, the Prime Minister, seeing the ben
eits Of all this knowledge possessed by
the Coreans, took back with them arti-
sans 10 every branch; and thus began
the introduction OF many OF the arts
and industries now known to the Jap
apese government, while the learned
men brought over impaired TO the
scholars of Japan the literature OF
Corea, together with accounts OF the
wonderful things existing In the home
kingdom, which, briefly stated, are as
follows:-
First, a hot mineral spring near Kin
Shantoa, the healing properties OF
which are belle we'd by the people to be
miraculous. No matter what disease
may aflict the patient, a dip in the
water proves eficacious.
The second wonder is two springs,
situated at a considerable distance from
each other; in fact, they have the
breadth of the entire peninsula between
them. They have two peculiarities-
when one is full the other Is always
empty; aud, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are connected By q subter-
ranean passage, one is bitter and the
other is pure and sweet,
The third wonder Is a cold wave cave
"a cavern from which a wintry wind
perpetually blows. The force Of the
wind from the cave is such that a strong
man cannot stand before IL.
A forest that cannot be ersdicated i:
the fourth wonder. No matter what in
iury is done to the roots Of the trees
which are large pines, they will sprouI
up again directly, like the phoenix from
her ashes.
Tha fifth is the most wonderful OF all
II is the famous ''foating stone" i

may pass IL under the stone without 81

heretofore. This was the only change
made Here is the secretary's report,
and it shows flourlshing condition OF
affairs: ...f. f.,
During the year l3O policies have been
issued. covering property to the amount
of 1854, BAL. and besides this an increase
has been made in old policies for the
am cunt of $7,O5S. over and above the
decrease which have been made in some
policies. 1
Ten policies have been cancelled dur
ing the year, of which nine were cancel
led for the purpose to reinsure.
! Total amount insured in this company
on December Goth, 1898, was ,$4l7, GAG.
and the whole number of policies in force

The company is growing, having now
four hundred and one members, and the

follows:
C. A. South, A. B. Mcfarland. Willard

The directors then elected the following
officers: Chas. A. South, president;
James Keen, vice-presidcnt; and Math.

report Of the secretary shows that for
three and Il half years the losses have
been paid without any assessment. The

fits and solid character.
