COUNTESS PoTOCKI. Example of hair perfectly keptl

with a warm spray turned upon your head and anointed with cool, soapy, scented things out of bottles. There is more hot spray, more amounting, still another spray, growing cooler and cold. Then the hair is dried as well as one towel will do it, which is not much, as it is the latest theory that rubbing pulls out the hair.
 You then sit in front of large tube with lamp at the lower end of 1t, a curious arrangement for drying by hot air. And the while this warm wave rushes by you the girl is manipulating the hair-not rubbing it, but lifting and separating it in gentle massage, and you grow deliciously drowsy, until you need a cup of chocolate or some- thing more exhilarating to bring you back to the subject of waves.
 This treatment leaves every hair light and individual, and the slight waving gives the mass not compact ness, but depth and mystery and decorative quality unknown to the coiffures of the fashion plates. This aureole quality, this natural human look of the hair, is we'll shown in the beautiful portrait of Countess Potocki. Such well kept hair, if arranged in the mode by hair dresser who re- spected it's texture and living beauty, would not lose it's decorative quality, and "bang" would never be needed to soften the outline of the forehead.
 Frequently in some conditions of the body the entire pilose growth will be affected in the form of forked ends, each hair seeming to be of different length, the roughness and bristling extending throughout the whole mass of tresses. In these cases no treat ment seems efficacious to eliminate the forked tongue feature excepting rig orous and systematic singeing.
 The troublesome locks are uncoiled, and coarse comb is swiftly passed through them. Then the hair is taken in strands, beginning at the crown. Each strand, in turn, is twisted as tightly as it can be, over and over, and held out stiff and straight from the head. The surface of the twist is then roughed up lightly with the comb un- til the forked ends stand out all over it. Then lighted taper is passed up and down the twist until the outstand- ing ends are burned away.
 The entire hair is thus treated.
 Generally the scalp is softly irri- tated with the fingers after the singe- ing, and sweetwaters applied, followed by a thorough brushing until it lies in smooth, straight strands, without a single snakes tongue. Then it is famed vigorously until perfectly dry. Cynthia Marlowe, in St. Louis Re- pub1ic

MAKING HOME HAPPY.
The Grandest Task Any Woman ar Man
 Can Undertake.


 The Grandest Task Any Woman or Man
 Can Undertake.
 One of the most important requisites for happy home is self-control, es- pecially good command over temper and tongue. There are many occasions when the peace of a family might be preserved by timely recollection of the proverb that silence is golden" |" Many of the efforts necessary for the preservation of peace and happiness in the home circle are of negative kind, and consist in refraining from the things that jar on others, such as rude. ness, impatience, fault-fnding and other 'lesser foxes that spoil the vine." Yet this negative work is as important as the most energetic exer- tions of bustling activity, perhaps even more so.
 It is of great importance that cour- tesy be strictly observed in the family circle. It is the lubricating oil that makes the jarring machinery of life go on smoothly. Insist on your children observing the rules of politeness towards each other as strictly as to- wards strangers Above all, let hus- band and wife do this towards each other, and the children will easily and naturally imbibe the same spirit and form the same habit. Innocent amusements are one of the elements of happy home, and none is more re- fining than music. We should culti- vate as fine art the habit of talking cheerfully and good humoredly in the family circle-excluding harassing and depressing topics, except when it is ab- solutely necessary to introduce them.
 A little social enjoyment Is necessary in order to complete the circle of home happiness. It is not right always to seclude ourselves in the privacy of home. We should sometimes open the doors, and admit others to share it's pleasures and comforts. In doing this we will receive as much as we give, for it will enlarge the circle of our ideas, our affections and our sympathies. Flower culture is great addition to the happiness and general attractive ness of a home. Indeed, no place oCChio bhOiOuB my hOhCiAhS "AShoup their lovely and fragrant forms. Be- ing pursuit that is carried on in, the fresh air and sunshine, flower culture adds to our health, besides gratifying our taste and inclinations.
 But when all is summed up, it seems to me that the great value of home life lies in something better than even hap piness itself. It gives us the finest and best discipline life could possibly af- ford. It teaches, if we will receive it's training aright-lessons of unselfish love, patience, for5earance, forgive ness, self abnegation, and other lovely virtues and graces, such as no other school on earth could possibly afford. In high state of development, home life reminds me of a well-trained orchestra in which the members, by dint of practicing with each other, and tuning their instruments i. C., their dispositions) to accord with each other, learn to give forth a lovely and har- monious symphony that is pleasing to all persons.-Mary Washington Early, in American ApriculturiSt

FIFTY DROWN ED.
Awful Accident to Party of Young Irish Harvesters-The Capsizing of Boat Leads to Fearful Loss of Life.

Awful Accident to Party of Young Irish
 Harvesters-The Capsizing of Boat
 Leads to Fearful Loss of Life.
 CASTLE BAR ISLAND, Ireland, June 15.-A dispatch from Westport Quay, about II miles from this city, an- nounces terrible disaster to party of harvesters who were on their way to Scotland. A passenger boat return ing to Westport Quay from Achill island, having on board eighty har- vesters, who were to be shipped to Scotland from Westport, capsized. Ac- cording to the first reports of the dis aster, thirty-four of the eighty passen- gers were drowned, but later advices say that it is believed that fifty of the harvesters lost their lives.
 Up to midnight the bodies of thirty of those drowned have been recovered. The relatives and friends of the har- vesters have been gathered on the shore since the news was received and the scenes of sorrow as the bodies were brought to land were terrible. The victims were young people of both sexes. They were inhabitants of Achill island, and depended for liveli- hood upon the scanty earnings they could make in England and Scotland, to which countries they were accus- toned to migrate every year.
 The boat which capsized was much overcrowded, the people in their haste to catch the Glasgow boat from Vest port having little regard for their safety. One hundred and ten passen- gers were on the vessel when she went down. The disaster was due to an at- tempt to turn the boat without lower- ing the sails. Most of the victims were kept under water by the sails, which were fully set when the vessel went over.
 As soon as the accident happened, boats from the steamer Elm, lying near, put out to the rescue and seven- ty-five of the harvesters were taken out of the water. Some of them were un- conscious, but revived after restora- tives had been admin istered. It is be- ieved the bodies of the persons missing will be found in the hold of the ill., fated vessel

The Senate Passes the Two Schedules-The
 Indian Bill Passes the House.
 WASHINGTON, June 1s-The fight over the woolen schedule ended Satur- day and that schedule, as well as the following schedule, ''silk and silk goods" was disposed of in quick time. The republicans succeeded in having the rates on woolen and worsted yarns, valued at over 40 cents per pound, in creased from 35 to 40 per cent. ad val orem and the dividing line on women's and children's dress goods decreased from S1 to 50 cents, duty of 40 per cent. being imposed on goods valued at less than 50 cents per pound, and 50 per cent. where of greater value.
 Messrs. Barry, of Arkansas, and Coke, of Texas (dems.), Mir. Teller, of Col orado (rep.), and the two populists voted against the new classifcations of women's and children's dress goods. Mir. Aldrich and other New England republicans protested these rates in the woolen schedule were entirely inade- quate, and gave notice of their inten- tion to continue the struggle for higher rates when the bill was.reported to the senate. Altogether twenty-four para graphs Seven pages) of the bill were disposed of.
 A bill was passed authorizing Com mander Dennis w. Mullan, U. S. N, to accept medal presented to him by the Gillian government. Another bill passed fixes the price of desert lands at S1.25, and authorizes the refunding of payments in excess of that price.
 THE HOUSE.
 WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Indian appropriation bill was passed by the house Saturday substantially as re- ported by the committee. A point of order made by Mir. Strauss (dem.), of Kentucky, against the proviso for the removal of the Indian warehouse from New York to Chicago was sustained.
 The house got into parliamentary wrangle over the approval of the record, the first thing on the question hinging on whether or not Mir. Rich ardson had obtained unanimous con- sent for his explanation and whether or not he had risen to a question of personal privilege. The matter ended by the house deciding to allow the journal to stand unchanged.

Kewanee, Ill.,. Miners Disguised with the
 Compromise Plan.
 SPRING VALLEY, H., June 13.-A tel egram from Kewanee to-day to the ef- feet that the men were not working and the receipt of the news from Co., lumbus that settlement had been effected temporarily changed the plans of the army that was to move on Kewanee. The streets were thronged with men talking over the situation. All condemn the work of the Columbus conference and say they will not go to work at the l0-cent re- duction. President Mcbride comes in for big share of abuse and many miners say it is sell-out. The miners are praising Vice President Murphy, of Illinois, and President Adams, of Ohio, for their refusal to sign the scale. Their refusal, it is asserted, means continuance of the strike as far as those two states are concerned. The Columbus scale would mean a 10-cent cut all through this district. The miners say they would just as soon die starving as working.

AN ABBATTOIR BURNS.
Fire in Jersey City Wherein 5000 Head of 1 Sheep Are Cremated Alive.

Fire In Jersey City Wherein 5000 Head Of
 Sheep Are Cremsted Alive.
 JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 1S.-The old but extensive abbattoir of the Central Stock & Transit Co.,, in Harsimus Cove, just south of Pavonia avenue and the Erie grain elevator, was totally de- stroyed by fire Saturday evening, the total loss reaching almost S1, ,0O0, ,000. Built on piles, the structure of two stories was entirely of wood, but the machinery for the various utilization piers was costly, while the amount of stock, including dressed beef, mutton and upward of 5000 live, sheep and lambs, went to swell the loss, which l.. L. Lambert, prominent official of the company, insisted might reach $1,- 100000.
 The. spread of the flames was so rapid that in fifteen minutes the whole space was mass of flames, which caught the cattle boat Burlington and the barge Refrigerator before they could be loosened from the dock; also the coal barge Hoffman, belonging to Berwind White & Co.,, and a number of cars loaded with coal were destroyed. The crafts on fire were lowed into the river and cast loose. The Burlington was totally de- stroyed, but the barges were only dam aged to the extent of few hundred dollars each.
 The river front on the New York side was lined with thousands of spec tators, attracted by the brilliant spec tacle. Fears were entertained for the safety of the great Erie grain eleva- tor, but fortunately the wind blew in the other direction. Within two hours from the outbreak of the flames there was nothing left but glowing pile of cinders, which covered about four acres of ground. The losses aggregate SsOO,OOO, of which S6OO,OOO is on the building and machin- cry. Over 700 men are thrown out of employment by the fire. No data could be given as to the insurance, but it is said to be about one-third of the loSS

WOMAN AND HOME.
SlNGEiNG THE HAIR.

Tho Orthodox Modern Treatment for
 Rough Tresses-Custom of Clipping the
 Ends Every New Moon Is Now Obsolete
 --Singeing Increases Vitality of the Hair
 and Revives Growth.
 Various modes of washing and styles of massage are claimed to ben eft the hair and cure it of i'll color and weak growth; but for forlSed ends, snake tongues" as some women cali the splitting of the ends of the hair, there seems to be now but one accepted remedy. This is ''singeing."
 To clip the ends every new moon was the old custom. Every woman could do it for herself, and in that act con- sisted the entire scientific care of the hair decade ago, But it never was very successful; the hair with ten adency to split went right on splitting.
 Singeing generally stops the trouble, Some of its advocates claim that the old, ignorant method of clipping left the little hollow tubes of the hairs open, while singeing leaves them closed, stopped" in natural state. But this Is an exceedingly fine point of con- tention.
 Singeing, unfortunately, cannot be done by q woman for herself. Nor can two women do it very satisfactorily for each other, unless they happen to be trained hair dressers.
 Women who are in the habit of hav- ing their hair attended to" advise the -singeing process once a month. Many say that their own experience goes to show that it acts upon the hair as pruning does upon plant-increases its vitality and revives it's growth.
 This treatment is now given the hair at all flrst-class hair-dressing estab- lishments here and abroad, while many women have a standing appointment with some favorite expert for treat ment in her own dressing-room once 0 month.
 The approved process at one very fashionable Parisian hair dresser's is exceedingly simple, yet not safe in un- trained hands, The hair is loosened and shaken out, and the maid runs over it with a lighted taper, touching all the projecting ends. A fash here and flash there and you are singed.
 Then you are swathed in Turkish FSowels-gently inclined over the bowl

 Attorneys Office.

 SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 15.-A. B. Crawford, the indicted cashier of the American National bank, which failed several months ago, secured revolver in some way while hunting for bonds men to-day and at 12:45 o'clock while in the office of S. H. Royd, his attorney, he suddenly shot himself in the left side and will probably die. He was in charge of Deputy Marshal W. T. Brown at the time.
 Bank Examiner W. A. Latimer claimed that SIS, ,OOO was embedded by Crawford and he was arrested on that charge. He was to have been tried at the next term of the United States dis trict court in this city and until week ago was out on bond. Last week L. H. Murray, one of his bondsmen, heard that he was putting his property out of his name. so he went to Kansas City to be relieved from the bond. This was granted, and Crawford was placed in charge of the United States mar shal, where he has been ever since. He had been making desperate efforts to find bondsmen, but could not succeed.
 Crawford is brother-in-law of Col. John O'Day, ex-vice president of the St. Louis & San Francisco railway, who had positively refused to go on the sec ond bpnd

 Fever, Followed by Meningitis.
 NEW YORK, June 1S.-EX-Minister William Walter Phelps died shortly be- fore o'clock Sunday morning at his home at Tea Neck, N. J. He had been ill long time, and quite recently went south in the hope his condition would be improved. He derived but little ben eft from his southern trip, and but a short time ago was so prostrated that his physician ordered absolute quiet. Gradually he grew weaker, and for the past few days his death has been looked for at almost any moment. His physi- clans paid their last visit at 1915 Satur- day night. He died few hours later, surrounded by his wife and daughter and his two sons, John J. and Sheffield.
 The exact nature of Mir. Phelps ail- ment was never definitely stated, but his illness was primarily from typhoid fever, which was followed by menin- gitis and other complications. He was not naturally of robust constitution and he inherited pulmonary troubles. The end was calm, as though he was falling into slumber. Mrs. Phelps is prostrated, the result of her long watch by her husbands bedside.

 VANCOUVER, B. C., June 14.-The steamer from China and Japan brings news from Canton of a sanguinary fight with pirates. A gang of these gentry, who were able to muster a squadron of eight junks, planned to attack a walled village named Tanchi, in the district of Hsinning Kuangtsung. The villagers, learning of their intentions, pro- cured the assistance of number of Ya- men runners and soldiers, so that when the pirates arrived they were con- fronted by force of 400. They were surrounded and cut off, and the junks' invaders fought desperately, but thir- ty-two were killed ard three captured alive, while three of their vessels were seized and many pirates drowned in trying to escape to the rest of the squadron.

GALVESTON'S BAR,
Six Inches of Sand Washed Away in May
 The Prospects Bright.

The Prospects Bright.
 GALVESTON, Tex, June I3.-The pre- dicted blessings of the jetties here are already being realized in part and there ia every reason to believe that when the work shall have been com- pleted, next September, the largest ocean vessels will be able to enter the harbor.
 During May 6 inches of sand on the bar at the mouth of the harbor have been washed away. The bar is of ficially reported by Maj Miller, who is in charge of the government work, to be full of holes, which are steadily increas- ing in area. This is the result of the confning of the tide within narrow limits. The north jetty is practically completed for F, 1000 feet, and the work on the south arm is being pushed rap idly.
 This cannot but be of deep interest in Kansas and Missouri, and the whole west, as it will assure near ocean harbor such as has long been desired.
