near their close and parents will soon
have the opportunity of having their
Children at home. But will the
Children be left with idle hands and
minds, during the Summer vacation?
We think they ought not but that
parents would do we'll to see that
their Children should have certain
lessons each day. and not allow them
to forget nearly or all they have
learned during the winter. See that
the home is supplied with useful and
instructive reading atter,-news-
papers, books, &c, and by all means
have your home paper among the
collections, and get the children
interested in reading these papers
and books, and after they have once
become interested, they will con-
tinue to be, and thereby improve
upon what they learned at school,
for the continual reading aids mem
DRY and improves the mind, so that
it almost becomes second nature,
and the child will then not forget
what was learned at school.

The idea of utilizing the suns
rays to bleach the human hair is a
novel one, yet it has become all the
fashion in some Of the Eastern fash
ionable circles. The discovery
that such thing was possible was
made by a typical summer sgirl'
during the last season. Having
been affected by nature with raven
tresses, which were then out of
style in the set in which she moved,
she applied to fashionable physi-
Clan for relief. He recommended
bright sunshine and Sea ozone as
the best means of. making the hair
light colored, healthy and strong.
The young person for whom this
prescription was given found it very
efficacious.
The end of the resort season hasl
by no means caused a substance of
the fad. Never before were there
in New York SO many young womenl
whose golden hair hangs down their
backs once every day-that is, every
sunshine day. A queer fact, too, is
that the idea, simple as it is, seems
to have the result of producing the
desired effect. 1t is certainly a
much more harmless way of bleach
ing the hair than that which requires
the use of chemicals

and as a result most of the cooper
alive concerns have failed. This
unfortunate fact has brought CO.
operation into disrepute, and the
people have lost confidence in a
principle, which would have proven
a great financial blessing had it been
given fair chance. The result is
that today many enterprises which
could be taken hold of without any
serious financial inconvenience to
the people, on the cooperative plan,
and which would greatly increase
the prosperity of its promoters and
the community at large, are lett UNI
touched, and instead Of the people
helping one another to develop the
resources of the county, and thus
helping themselves to increased
wealth, they sit supinely by, waiting
for some one with capital to come
and do that which they could easily
do themselves if they but had the
necessary confidence in their own
ability. This confidence in the
ability of the people to do something
for themselves must be restored; it
will result in in creased pros
perity for two reasons. The peo-
pie will be more independent of the
money lender, and when he finds
that there are fewer opportunities
to loan money at high rate of in
terest he will look about for some
profitable and useful enterprise in
which to invest his wealth, and thus
add to the general prosperity of the
community.-Utonian.
