HOW 70 REMEDY SPLIT HAIRS.
They Should he Clipped Carefully Every
Two Weoks.

b I
They Should he Clipped Carefully Every
Two Weeks. .
To restore split hairs to more
healthy state it is necessary to cut off
every hair above tho place where it is
split or Clipped. To cut each hair seems
O herculean task, but it can be simpli-
fed in this manner: Divide the hair
into two, three or four parts, according
to its thickness; then braid each part as
closely to the head and as tightly as
possible. Tie each braid an inch or so
from the end with thread or worsted,
or wind small rubber band around it
to keep the braid from loosening.
Hold the end Of the braid firmly with
one hand and with the other rub the
braid the wrong way-that is, toward
the head-and most Of the hairs which
do not exte,,d the whole length Of the
braid will spring out like the quilts of
q porcupine.
With the scissors clip these outstand-
ing hairs, being careful not to cut the
smooth strands Of the braid; then clip
the split ends below where the braid is
fastened. Unless the hair is very much
split and broken you can do the clip
ping yourself, but If it is uneven and
split close to the scalp it will be better
to have some one else clip it.
This clipping should be done once in
two weeks or oftener until all the split
ends have been cut. Then the hair WI
feel as smooth and soft and fine as that
which grows close to the ecalp.

Judge of Probate Richardson has
received notice from the authorities
OF the Fergus Falls asylum that Mrs.
Marsic, who was recently sent from
Rich Prairie to that institution, had
been paroled. The parole was
granted at the request OF her son,
Albert sMarsic, of Sank Rapids, and
he took his mother.to Sank Rapids
to live with him. Young Marsic is a
butcher, at work in Sank Rapids,
and was in this city about a week
ago. making inquiries in regard to
his mothers troubles. He claimed
that he had been home few weeks
previous, and bis mother showed nj
signs Of insanity, and he thought her
being sent to Fergus Falls was a
part Of a scheme of his father and
the other people to deprive Mrs.
Marsic Of her property. Heexpressed
great Indignation at the treatment
his mother had received, and left
here for Fergus Falls for the purpose
of securing her release. The author.
tiles evidently did not consider her
dangerously insane. for she was
paroled and went to live with her
son at Sank Rapids. The neighbors
of Mrs. Marsic at Rich Prairie donOt
blame the family for the course they
pursued, and say that she was far
from heing Of q sound mind. How
ever, there seems to be some trouble
in the Marsic family, which it is doubt.
ful if anyone but themselves can
explain.

How to Sew ON Buttons,

Buttons should be sewed on loosely,
the knot of the doubled thread on the
right side Of the garment under the but
ton. A pin with small button and a
darner with a large button should be
inserted between the cloth and button
when sewing to make the stitches loose,
and then, when withdrawn, the thread
should be wound around the stitches,
making shank for the play Of the but
tonhole. B.. tons on children's under
waists should be especially strong. A
bit Of cotton folded double where the
button is to be sewed will prevent tear
ing out Of the waist itself. Such waists
should never be passed through the
wringer when washed, but should al
ways be wrung by hand. Awringer will
break the buttons faster than any
amount Of wear.

According to one woman writer in an
English journal, q wife, if she elves
her religion" may often lead her in
different spouse back to his early piety.
A husband, in the opinion Of another
man managing specialist, must not be
spoiled by letting him have his own
way after marriage, however it may
have been before that event.
Never allow your husband to think
"you are his superior mentally" is the
dictum Of a third woman, for" she
adds, there is more unhappiness caused
by the wife Haunting her superiority
before the eyes of her husband than
from any other reason In the judy
ment Of another woman "every man has
some good points,, and if he is suffi-
GENTLY f1attered by his wife they will
be fully developed, while his vices will
gradually disappear.

Mothers Should EcEin early to Train
These Features.
The care Of tie ears should begin IN
baby kocd, well formed ear often being
ruined then from lack Of attention. A
nurse should be most careful to see that
when baby is asleep the ear it lies on
is quite fiat and not crumpled in any
way. IF to ears stand out unduly from
the head, they should he tied back by
means CT a, broad ribbon, which must be
worn ut night.
In washing the cars they should never
be allowed to be turned over toward the
cheek to be washed, but washed care
fully from the front to the neck. A neg
lect of this caution is q fruitful source
Of outstanding ears in children. a..
A we'll scaped wet corner of a towel
should be used, and where the folds Of
the ear are difficult to cleanse properly
by this means a blunted ivory instru-
ment should be inserted into the towel
and used as well. It is specially needful
to daily remove the wax at the entrance
of the ear, or it will harden and become
most unsightly.
This wax must never be removed by a
sharp instrument, or the delicate MEN,
brane inside the ears will be injured,
and inflammation may ensue, which
might eventually cause deafness. If the
ears are irritated, gently rub them with
the fingers. Do not allow anything else
to be used. Warm water is better to use
to wash them with than cold and un-
scented soap is preferable to scented.
If the wax becomes very hard, it can
be easily softened by pouring in a few
drops of tepid olive oil at night, then
plug the ear with cotton wool and sleep
with that ear uppermost. In the morn
ing gently syringe it out with soap and
warm water, using an ear syringe for
the purpose. If you cannot get pure olive
oil, warped glycerin will answer the
purpose equally we'll.

Since the list Of January IL, Lon
don stray and unclaimed dogs, tho vast
majority mongrels, have been destroyed
at the Dogs home, Battersea. The proc
ess is absolutely painless. The lethal
chamber is constructed SO as to dispose
Of 100 animals Of the terrier class ut a
time. The animals are put into cage
divided into two tiers. with light iron
bars at the sides. Meanwhile the cham
Der is filed with narcotic vapor. When
the load is made up. the doors Of the
cage are shut, the sliding door Of the
chamber is raised, and the cage is run
quickly on the tram rails into the cham
Der. The death is by anBsthesia-and
such q death is death by sleep. The
dogs are overcome with drowsiness the
moment they breathe the noxious fumes
In a single minute they arc in deep
sleep, in three minutes they are dead.
Close by the lethal chamber is the Gre
matorium-a large oven kept at an in
tense heat by brick furnace. VIXEN
the cage is drawn out, the carcasses q
the animals are cast into it. There is
momentary smell as the hair of their
bodies ignites, but that is all. When
the process is completed, there is moth
ing but an inodorous ash and incinerat-
ed bone.

How to Deal With q Case of Poisoning

Salt and mustard are the great reli-
ance for mary reasons. They are found
in every house. They can be given in
stantly. They produce vomiting quicker
than any other substances in common
use, and the danger Of overdosing is
practically nothing Another reason is
that they are almost equally good wheth-
er the poison be u narcotic (opium.
ldudanum, etc. or like arsenic or strych-
nine The main object in either case it
to get as much Of it as possible out Of
the stomach at once. After thorough
vomiting is produced pour in hot, strong
coffee for an opiate, or two or three
whites Of raw eggs for acid poisons.
Raw eggs and hot coffee suit a greater
number Of poisons than any other arti-
cles in common use.

not the case, and the members whose

where the four years expires this
