Much has been written concerning the
treatment of the hair; but unfortunately
the same treatment has been advised for
all hair, Unfortunately, which is a
great mistake.
For example, constant and frequent
brushing of the hair tends to darken it;
ana washing it with white Of egg,
though Strengthening, has the SAME eff
feet, and should not be used by those
with light hair. This effect is due to
the fact that brushing brings out the
natural oil. Persons with black or dark
hair, especially if it is dry and wry,
could not use better strengthening, for
the egg nourishes the roots and makes
the hair smooth and glossy. Indeed,
those possessing the kind of hair just de-
scribed should give it great deal of
brushing. Before retiring shake out the
hair, part through the middle, and brush
each side evenly and carefully, so rs not
to tear it. Give at least thirty strokes
to each side and brush up from the neck
and off from the temples.
1t may be well to suggest that the
brush used should have long bristlcs not
too close together: short, closely strung
bristles are sure to tear the hair To
cleanse the scalp, take the whites of
two eggs and rub them thoroughly into
the hair; then wash the head with white
CASTLE soap and rinse we'll in tepid wa
ter, changing the water until the hair is
perfectly cleaned. This should he done
every fortnight.
Should the scalp be in poor condi-
ton, so that the hair falls out, the fol-
half pint OF rum, one ounce of bitter ap-
pies. Let the bitter apples steep for
three days i'll the rum, strain, and apply
with mop to the scalp.
AS is we'll known, the French are an
authority on all things pertaining u the
toilet. For the benefit of blonde light
brown. chestnut and auburn hair, the
following simple recipe comes from 4
French barber. 1t is one that is con-
Stantly used, but as monsieur says, 1.-The
LADIES often abuse it, and then instead
Of it being beneficial it proves most i'll
furious" 1t is simply al even teaspoon
full of borax in cup of warm water
remember an even teaspoonful, not a
handful. The latter is the quantity
some women use, and when the hair is
injured they declare: 'Borax makes the
hair fall!' Undoubtedly it does Nhcn

When the borax is dissolved in the
warm water, wet the scalp with the
preparation until every particle Vt dam
druff is loosened and the head feels en-
tirely clean. Let the hair dry; nn the
following day rinse it in warm wafer
followed by cold; if possible dry in the
sun: when quite dry comb carefully and
brush very slightly. Borax used i'll the

hair takes OH bright sunny golden hue,
and brown hair a warm, reddish tint.
When dressing the hair give three or
four good, long strokes of the brush up
from the neck and back from the temples
this will keep it in glossy condition
and give it Il well .;groomed lock- which

Blondes, by substituting gin for rum
in the recipe glven for. tor dark Ia hair VIII
cd. White and gray hair should he
cleaned with ammonia-a teaspoonful to
Il basin of lukewarm water; and the hair
should ne we'll rinsed in cooler water.
\ little vascline, the white, rubbed into
the scalp with the tip of the fingers will
keep the hair from becoming dry. Nei
Their white nor gray hair should be

apt to produce Il yellowish shade, destroy
ing the fine silvcry look which gives SO
mary women an air of distinction.
While using boraX or ammonia be careful
to protect the eyebrows. as these re-
agents will cause them to become lighter
in shade.
About once month the hair should
be singed: cutting is not advisable: it
causes the hair to bleed. Each hair is n
tube. and cutting allows what may be
termed the sap to run out, and the hair
is drained of it's nourishment. SINCE
ing seals these tubes and forces the
fluid back into the roots. It is said that
the West Indian women follow this Gus
tom. and certainly many of them have
very handsome hair indeed, it is not I'M
usual to see women whose faces have
long bid adieu to youth with hair that
many Il girl might envy.
Very often the hair continues to fall.
and tonics prove of little avail In this
case it is well to massage the scalp. Not
infrequently the scalp becomes tight on
the head. This prevents circulation, the
follicles Of the hair become anae1nic
and as result the hair falls Tho only
remedy is to give the head course of
massage which is easily and simply
done. Place Il hand on each side of the
upper part of the face. with the thumbs
pressed on the head behind the ears and
eyebrows begin; then spread out the
other fingers over the head and for ten
minutes gently work the scalp backward
and forward. Finally with the thumb
and forefingcr, pinch the scalp all over.
continuing until the head begins to tim
gle; this loosens the scalp from the bone
eud starts the circulation. Keep up this
treatment night and morning until the
hair ceases to fall. Aiso use the tonic
given aboye-the one trea tment will help
the other.
Another piece of ADVICE. Never pull
out gray hair, for, as the old adage
declares. "Twenty will come to it's fu-
neral. The saying is quite true. When
a gray hair is pulled out the dead fluid
at the roots is scattered among the
healthy roots aiii grayness follows:
Avoid all dyes. They are most injuri-

ysis of the brain. Crimping and curling
the hair on irons breaks it, and causes
it to become faded and sometimes gray

"Lothair''-No Royal Favori.e.
The Marquis of Butte, who has been
elected to the rectorship of st. Andrews
university, in Scotland, defeating the late
Speaker of the House of Commons, Wis
count Peel, is a very different looking
man today from the young nobleman
whose name was on everybody's tongue
twenty-five years ago and who is the
original of Lothian in Disraeli's great
novel of that name.
His conversion to the Roman Catholic
church by Mgr. Capel was one of the
events Of the London season of 1871 and
was a great blow to the Established
Church, as he is one of the largest and
wealthicst landowners in the United
