the hair; then wash the head with white castillo soap, and rinse well in tepid water, changing the water until the hair is perfectly cleaned. This should be done every fortnight.
 Should the scalp be in poor condi- tion, so that the hair falls out, the fol- lowing tonic may be safely used: one half pint of rum, one ounce of bitter apples. Let the bitter apples steep for three days in the rum, strain, and ap- ply with mop to the scalp.
 As is well known, the French are an authority on all things pertaining to the toilette. For the benefit of blonde, light brown, chestnut and auburn hair, the following simple receipt comes from a French barber. It is one that is con- stantly used, but as monsieur says: ''Fhe ladies often abuse it, and then in- stead of it being beneficial it proves most injurious" 1t is simply an even teaspoonful of borax in q cup of warm water-remember an even teaspoonful, not handful. The latter is the quan- tity some women use, and when their hair is injured they declare: "Borax makes the hair falll" Undoubtedly it does when used wholesale.
 When the borax is dissolved in the warm water wet the scalp with the preparation until every particleof dand- ruff is loosened and the head feels en- tirely clean; let the hair dry; on the following day rinse it in warm water, followed by cold; if possible, dry in the sun; when quite dry comb carefully and brush very slightly. Borax used in the above manner every fortnight causes the hair to become much light CT; dull blonde hair takes on bright, sunny golden hue, and tie brown hair a warm reddish tint.
 When dressing the hair give three or four good, long strokes of the brush

Kindness of nr. Holmes.

A pretty and authentic story is told by an elderly woman of an episode in which Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes figured some years ago in connection with herself and friend who were both at the time schoolgirls in New York city. The day when compost tions must be written was a terror to both of them, and with the calm daring often found among quite young girls, they wrote to Mir. Holmes an art less request that he would write a com position forthem. Theletter was a joint production written by the one and illus trated by the other, and evidently ticllled the autocrat's fancy, for he
 answered it promptly He did not write the composition, but he wrote them q genial and kindly letter, telling them that two girls who were clever enough to write such a note and en- liven it with such drawings should have no difficulty in preparing compo- sitions. The letter is still 6 cherished possession of one Of the partners in the prank, and she never wearies of telling the story and commenting upon the kind-heartedness of the busy and fa- nous man who could find time to take such friendly notice of the letter of two madcap girls.-Harper's Bazar.

Jewish shade, destroying the fine sil- very look which gives so many women an air of distinction. Whilst using borax or ammonia be careful to protect the eyebrows, as these reagents will cause them to become lighter in shade.
 About once month the ends of the hair should be singed; cutting is not advisable, it causes the hair to bleed. Each hair is tube, and cutting allows what may be termed the sap to run out, and the hair is drained of it's nour- ishment. Singeing seals these tubes

 Beware of doing anything that will injure the hair. Remember woman's hair is her erowning glory, and once abused it can rarely be restored to its former beauty.

 MT. Stevenson knew as little as you do about Samoa and the remote South seas when several years ago he came to San Francisco and set sail in q beauti- ful schooner-yacht, hoping the trade wind would blow him to some pleasant isle where he might get well and strong again. The Shining Ship" (for that was what tue natives called herr polled her nose into many a sweet bay and dark-blue lagoon, and passed from island toisland through calm and storm and picked her way through aurf-swept reefs where the sharks played like min- nows beneath her keel, but she came no nearer the haven for which she was in search. At last she reached an island called Oahu. which was so pleasant to look at and so agreeble to live in that Mir. Stevenson thought his voyage was over. The king of Oahu was a very agreeable man, too, and wished MT. Stevenson never to go away, but to stay with him all his life and be his friend. So MT. Stevenson stayed many months in Oahu, and would have been very happy and contented had it not been for the trade wind, who was always tell ing him about the fine islands further on until he was persuaded to say good by to the king and set sail again.
 The trade wind took him long road and through many queer and dangerous places before he brought him within sight of Upolu, in Samoa, and told him to pack up and go ashore; which MT. Stevenson was very glad to do. for he was quite agreed with the trade wind that Upolu was the finest island in the whole ocean. Here he bought laroe tract of land which he called "yailimass'' and built a big house, and planted bananas and breadf1,uit trees and CO., coanuts and mangos and other trees With strange names, in order to feed the brown people who had gathered about him and made him the head of their tribe. They called him eTusitala. J or the Writer of Tales,' for his own name was too hard for them to say. In short time Mr. Storyteller crew well and strong, just as he hoped he would, and remained grateful all his days to the trade wind for brin ging him to Upoiu; and he always made q point of speaking kindly about itin his books Lloyd 0sbourne, in St. Nicholas.

 Very often the hair continues to fall and tonics prove of little avail. Tn this case it is well to massage the scalp. Not infrequently the scalp becomes tight on the head. This prevents cireu- lation, the follieles of the hair become enaemic and as a result the hair falls. The only remedy is to give the head a course of massage, which is easily and Rimply done. Place a hand on each side of the upper part of the face, with the thumbs pressed on the head behind the ears and the little finger just above where the eyebrows begin; then spread cut the other fingers over the head, and for ten minutes gently work the scalp backwards and forwards. Finally with the thumb and forefnger pinch the scalp all over until the head be- gins to jingle; this loosens the scalp from the bone and starts the circula- ton. Keep up this treatment night and morning, until the hair ceases to fall. Also use the treatment above-the one treatment will help the other
 Another piece of advice: Never pull out a gray hair, for as the old adage de- clares, twenty will come to the funer- al" The saying is quite true. When gray hair is pulled out, the dead fluid at

pronounced entirely untrue. The

the Spanish government, and the

termined vet whether he will pay
any attention to the resolutions

will treat them as he did the

more them entirely.
