Hairdressers are finding this good
season for their business for it is almost
impossible for anyone except professional
to wave the hair in the loose. full waves
fashion has ordained. And, after all, the
money spent in having the hair dressed is
saved many times over, as there is danger
Of burning and singeing the hair irrepara-

well to say that the curling irons, heated
on the alcohol lamps. do not burn the
hair so easily as when gas Is used. The

ART OF TYING BOWS. iasns

The art OF bow-tying is taught to young
women who like always to be smartly
trimmed with correct bows at the neck and
belt. Even the bow for the hair has DIFF
ferent tie from the bow at the slipper; and
the wastband has a knot entirely unlike
that at tho threat. To know the difference
is one OF the arts Of bow-tying. The next
is to be able to tie.
A bow Of orange velvet Of the new shade.
capucine is a valuable adjunct for q SOM
ber dress. Upon light one It becomes
positively brilliant. beautiful decoration

there must be a crush of velvet to 60

crinolined to set like girdle, and to it
must be sewed the bow of velvet. Each
separate loop is lined and stiffened, and

pECULrARlTIEs OF CLANS.
They Have Brains in Their Feet q

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The clans body Is completely shrouded in
the mantle except for two openings. through
one Of which the foot can be pushed out. The
other Is for the sphon, or what is commonly
known as the neck Of the clam. In some re-
spects the clam may be better on than We
are for he has little brain in his foot and
also gland for secreting strong fbers. With
this hs spins a byssus by which he can attach
himself to whatever he likes. He does not
even have to search for his food. but waits
for it to come to him. He makes a burrow In
the mud or sand attaching himself to the bot
tom OF the byssus. Then he thrusts bis sphon
up through the mud and water until 1t reaches
the surface The siphon is made up Of two
tubes. the water flowing in through one and
out through tho other.
When the inlowing current laden with min
ute plants and animals. reaches the gill
chamber some Of these are sifted out and re-
tanned for food. while the water and waste
matter flow out through the other tube.
The clans eggs are carried by the mother
on her sis. When there fish in the water
with them the mother clans discharge the
eggs which soon hatch. but II there are no
FISH they carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason of this strange behavior Is this. When
hatch and the little ones swarm about until
they fGd some fish to which to attach them
selves. They live for time on the mucus OF
