that this work will give 3 val
liable results is best shown by series of
Investigations made in New York some
years ago by Drs Buchan and Mitchell,
two English specialists, who had pre-
y1ously made similar studies in London.
Theirs was the only thorough investiga-
tion of the kind ever made in this
country. Their investigation covered a
period of seven years. 1t was found that
the greatest number of deaths OF all
classes of people over one year of age in
New York city occurs in the latter part
of March.
Infants under one year die off in July
In tremendous numbers. In London,
however, the greatest number of deaths
OF persons of all ages occurs in Decem-
Der. Infants there die off rapidly in
July, but not so rapidly as in December.
In New York city measles were found to
be at their height in July, scarlet fever
In early May, whooping cough in Sep
tembe-, heart disease in December, con-
vulsions and all nervous diseases in July.
All troubles of the throat were most
abundant in winter, as were those of the
intestines in summer. But strangest of
all these discoveries was that far great
er number of suicides, both in New York
and London, occurs in the spring and
summer than in autumn or winter,
THE WEATHER AND CRIME.
But, as was pointed out by DR.. Phil
lips, there are some facts concerning the
effects of the seasons upon the human
constitution which are even more inter
esting, especially just at this season of
the year. These were lately observed by
Dr. Leffingwell of England, whose inves-
LEGATIONS included nearly every country
in the world. DIR. Lettingwell finds that
in spring and summer people are inclined
to be much more immoral and unhealthy
that in the warm months there is pre-
ponderance of murders, suicides, di-
vorces, assaults, duels, riots, wars and
political revolutions, while the same
period causes conspicuous increase in
the death, birth and marriage rates. He

other hand, love affairs, were increased
to some extent, although he did not
dwell widely on the trait of the Summer
girl in his scientific researches.
All of his theories are supported by ac-
curate data, collected from the official
government records Of various countries,
the United States included. DIR. Letting
wells theory sets forth that the light and
heat from the sun in spring and summer
increase the action of the heart and the
excitation Of the nervous system. From
b. th of these result high emotion, in
or. a sed tendencies toward jealousy, COM
bativeness, irritability Or disagreeable-
ness, sentimentality, mental depression
and restlessness, all of which conditions
will account for the results mention ed i'll

The HOME
How to Keep Straight Hair in Curl and Or
der in Hot Water.


From Harper's Bazaar.
From May till October the girl with
naturally curly, wavy hair can crow over
her sister with straight locks, for heat
and dampness are deadly, invincible foes
to artificial curls The rest of the year it
is share and share alike, for cold crisp
weather makes the natural curls stiff and
straight There are hundred and one
inventions and appliances to make the
hair curl and some are remarkably sue
cessful. But the trouble Ewith all is the
same. The results are not lasting, and a
sudden shower, any fog, or the thermome-
ter going up into the nineties makes all
previous toll fruitless 1t may seem a
small matter to the world at large. but it
is no small matter TO the woman concern
ed, to start out looking trim, neat and
really pretty, and in half an hour to be
hideous fright, with long lank locks in
place of the coquettish, trinity arranged
ringlets.
The only plan that has proved etfica-
cious is to wet the hair thoroughly with
alcohol or cologne, curl while wet, leay-
ing the curls uncombed until the hair is
thoroughly dried. Then putting touch
of powder both on curls and forehead will
remove any temporary dampness, and
the curls will stay in-mysterious saying
for hours The alcohol dries up the
natural moisture of the..hair, and the curl
ing while wet with the spirit is what
produces the desired results. The dash of
powder is so slight as not to show, and
gives an additional dryness The curls
must be curled with hot tongs; there is
no use in using the patent curriers' for
this purpose.
The waved effect which has been 50
fashionable for the side locks comes under
this same rule, and it is uprising how
Ing the waves remain wavy even on the
hottest day, and, best of all, how natural
they look.
Constant curling, and waving with hot
irons is bound to be prejudicial to fine
hair, but much damage can be pre-
vented by being careful not to use the
irons if they are in the least rough. A
perfectly smooth, evenly heated iron saot
hot enough to burn the hair, will do no
harm, and the roughness that cuts can
easily be discerned, and consequently
guarded against. 1t is good plan if
one is in the habit of constantly curling
the hair with irons to take a vacation
for a month or six weeks, and during
that time wear one's hair quite smooth.
A good way to- make the hair look
naturally wayy across the top of the head
is to wet the front locks very Thoroughly
before going to bed, then to pull them
forward and tie as tightly over them as
is comfortable band or net. This holds
the hair down, and when taken off in
the morning makes a most natural and
becoming wave, much more graceful
than can be produced by even the broad
est iron.
The various washes which are sold to
make the hair curl have all a tendency to

| fade it, even alcohol and cologne have
the same fault. but in modified degree,
so that it is as we'll to examine very
thoroughly anything of the sort Wash
ing twice week with pure soap and
warm water will keep the front and side
locks in good order, and will do away
with any injurious effect of the alcohol
used every day.
Bang nets, as are called the nets for the
front hair, are necessary parts of every
woman's summer outfit, and save a lot Of
trouble, keeping the hair in place nicely.
Cooking Vegetables.
Allow teaspoonful of salt to quart
of water. 1t is impossible to give the ex-
act time for the cooking of different vege-
tables, us SO much depends on the age
and freshness. Wilted vegetables require
more time in cooking than fresh. Boiling
quickly and uncovered preserves the
color; some use soda for the purpose, but
it is not advisable.
Green peas should be washed before
shelling Boil the empty pods 10 minutes
in the water, then take them out and put
in the peas, with half teaspoonful of
sugar. Do not put in the salt until the
peas are nearly done it toughens them.
Peas require f1om Is to 20 minutes boil
ing, but it is always safest to try them
with fork.
Green corn should be prepared by leay-
| ing the inner leaves around the ear, tying
them at the end with thread, first relnoy-
| ing every particle of silk. Plunge them
| into boiling salted water, and allow them
to cook about 10 minutes, if young and
tender. Cooking too long makes corr
tough
Caulifower should stand in cold salted
water, flower end down, for at least hall
an hour, that all insects and dust shall be
removed Cook in boiling salted water
until tender: half an hour will generally
| suffice Serve at once; standing darkens
| it. All green parts should be cut away
before cooking
String-b beans generally require at least
| three-quarters of an hour to boil A
piece of salt pork an inch square will gen.
orally take away all rank flavor if boiled
with them. Beans should be carefully
strung and cut in very thin slices diago-
nally this takes considerable time, but
pays for the trouble. When once drained
| well, season to taste, and stir in spoon
full of butter.
Fern Dishes.
Fern dishes arc so easy to arrange and
SO simple to procure that the only wonder
is that any of us do without them Just
this time the woods are fascinating places
of resort, and in them the ferns are to be
found in richest profusion.
: If you take only moderate care an d dig
UP the earth with the roots you can hardly
fail Of success The rich. moist leaf
mold is the natural habitat, and it is to
be had by the bushel for the mere trouble
of digging up with your dish which is
made with necessary drainage, we'll filed
and kept in the dark till started, there
should be no trouble. Lively, tenoer and
fragile as the ferns appear, they are in
reality extremely hardy, and ask very
little care. Moisture they must have, and

Some Interesting Studies to be Made by
the Weather Bureau.
StStistics of death, both natural and
violent, and outbreaks of disease, both
mental and physical, are to be collected
weekly at the weather bureau, from
thousand or more of cities and towns
scattered throughout every State and Ter
ritory. These will be studied with refer
ence to the weather map. The paths OF
storms, for instance, will be followed as
they pass over the.country, and cases OF
illness and death happening in the locali-
ties traversed will be compared with sim
liar cases occurring before and after the
same storms. A greater part OF the in
vestigation will be made into the rela-
tionship between all diseases and the sea-
sons and climates. The most interesting
part of the work will be that relating to
suicides and violent deaths, diseases of
the mind, ETC.
All of these studies, proposed by the
Secretary of Agriculture, Mr.. Morton,
have been placed under the direction of
W. F. R. Phillips, medical expert who
has made speciality of such matters
After the Investigations have further pro-
gressed, a weekly bulletin will be issued,
giving the results of observations to the
medical profession and such others as are
interested.
A number of cards have been issued to
all of the State and city boards of health
and to all medical doctors in the cities
who care to cooperate. Each of these
contains list of such diseases as are to
be investigated The health officers are
requested to mark off, in score for each
day, the number of deaths occurring from
the diseases named The physicians are
to check off diseases treated in that week,
regardless of death These are to be
mailed every Saturday night to the Sec
tion of sanitary climatology. Many of
them have already poured in, and their
compilation is in progress.
MAPS OF DISEASES.
Maps will be prepared each week, show
ing the prevalence of certain diseases in
each section of the country. Each form
Of illness will be designated by different
colored spot Curves connecting like
colors will indicate the belts tarversed by
certain diseases. If repetitions of these
diseases occur in the same sections, un-
der the same climatic conditions, the
bureau in the future will be able to mark
disease waves on the charts, as we'll as
waves of rain, snow, drought, etc 1t is
very obvious that this will be of value to
the boards of health and medical pro-
fession. 1t is expected, also, that suffi-
cient will be learned concerning the
effects of the climate of certain sections
to recommend them to persons suffering
from disease, as well as TO warn 9th rs
against them.
