Dress Your Hair Carefully.

1t is fashionable just now to dress
the hair in undulating waves, and to
brush it over the ears at the SIDE. A
few little, soft Diana" curls are al
lowed to rest on the forehead, but the
hair Is almost invariably slightly
parted in the middle. a good deal of
discretion is necessary in dressing the
hair to adapt it to each individual type
of face. Long, thin faces should not
have the hair dressed too high, as this
accentuates the length of the face
Round, short faces should have the
couture piled in fluffy curls on the top
of the head. and little butterfly bow
or fancy pin set at just the correct
angle will often have very modifying
effect upon the angularity of features.
Much latitude is permitted in hair
dressing fashions, however, and every
woman should take advantage of this
latitude and adopt the distinctive style
which is best suited to her features.
1t is better even to sacrifice a little
thigh style" than to dress ones hair in
fashionable way totally unsuited to
ones type of face. N. Y. Recorder.

Extracting Teeth by Electricity.

Trials have been made in London
with new apparatus for the extrac-
ton of teeth by electricity. 1t consists
of an induction coil of extremely fine
wire, having an interrupter that can
vibrate at the rate of $50 times a sec
ond. The patient sits in the traditional
armchair, and takes the negative cleo
trode in his left hard and the positive
in the right At, this moment the
operator turns on current whose in
tensity is graduallyincreased till it has
attained the utmost limit the patient
can support. The extractor is then
put in circuit and fastened on the tooth,
which, under the sction of the vibra-
ton, is loosened at once. The opera
ton is performed very quickly, and the
patient feels no other sensation than
the pricling produced in the hands and
forearms by the current.

A novel use of compressed air has re-
Gently been made by some western
railroads. Jets of air discharged from
flexible hose are made to do the work
of brooms, whisks and clothes in re-
moving dust and cinders in passenger
cars. The hose may readily be carried
to any part of the car and is used In
the same manner as an ordinary hose
carrying water The new application
has many advantages, In many cases
passenger cars on reaching the termin-
ais are only allowed to stand a few
minutes before being again filed with
passengers, and it is impossible in this
time to clean or even dust them thor
oughly. This work is usually done by
women. who hastily brush off thesnp-
holstered parts and wipe the wood
work. A stream of air will effectively
remove all dust and dry dirt from cloth
and even from glass and wood. and it
has the additional advantage of reach
ing cracks and crevices which other
wise would not be touched. The
stream of air is especially effective, it
is said, in clearing the cars of flies

OvERORNAMEN TATION.
The Most Frequent Fault In Our Schemes
of Interior Decoration.

or interior Decoration
"The great fault in American houses
is accommodation" said an artist
recently when questioned as to house
hold decorations. Things beautiful
in themselves are so crowded that the
eye is bewildered and can find no cen
trail point on which to rest. The dec
grafton of a room should eliminate or
center at some spot, and from that the
lines should divurge according to artis-
tie rules. We see the force of this in
cathedals, where the altar forms the
grand climax of characterization and
furnishing. OF course there are minor
centers, as there is always secondary
plot in every good play, but the eye
should instinctively be guided by the
main point of decoration. In an or
binary house this is the fireplace and
mantel in each room, and special care
should be taken that artistic rules are
not broken in the ornamentation of
that most important part of the room.
IAN artist is familiar with many cor
rect forms of grouping, but these are
not easy for an amateur to under
stand, so the best rule to give for
mantel decoration for the general pub
lie is that the centerpiece should form
the highest point. the lines from the
top when drawn to the sides of the
shelf forming the side of an isosceles
triangle.
IAN overloaded mantel," he cOntin-
ued, lis sign of vulgarity and the
ornaments should be proportiored to
