How badness begins.
TOW TO prevent il.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and new and
healthy growth Of the hair promoted The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If plant hourishes, it must have
constanSS attention; it must be watered
regularly. and find its food in the soil
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Daudruff is allowed to thickcn on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
ficiently nouris}led, begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need III such a case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength,
and produce strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DR.. Ayers
Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua-
hle preparation for the hair that can be

OLD vlOLINS
A Carpenters PASSION for Collecting
Them-He Was tho Pioneer.

Them-He Was tho Pioneer.
1t was about the beginning OF the
present century that the craze for the
possession of the works of the old Ital-
ian masters set in, and England and
France We'd in the ardor of the strug-
gle to obtain" tlhora, says, Household
Words. At that time many of the
famous Cremonese instruments, and
those belonging to other Italian schools,
had passed into neglect and oblivion,
numbers Of them being scattered about
among Italian villages, in the hands OF
ignorant people, unconscious OF their
beauty and worth and incapable OF ade-
Quately appreciating them. 1t was
Louis Tarisio who acted as pioneer IN
this matter. Born of humble parents,
wholly unconnected with the art OF
music, he adopted the trade of carpen-
ter, and in his leisure time learned to
play violin. He possessed no partlcu-
lar musical talent. but became interest
ed in the construction CT his instru-
ment, SO that the playing Of it became
at length quite a secondary matter
with him. A passion for the collect
ing of violins was aroused in him, and
giving up his former employment, ne
travelled far and wide in search of lost
Cremonas. Wandering about from vii
lage to village throughout Italy in the
guise of peddler, exchanging new
| fiddles for old, be became possessed OF
treasures of the greatest value. lie
then made his way to Paris, and sold
them to the best-known dealers in
violins of that city. His whole life at
terward was spent in this fashion, and
he amassed considerable wealth. He
came to love his violins, however, for
their own sake, apart from the riches
they brought him, and was often loath
! to part with them. He was eccentric
and solitary in his habits, and at last
died alone in wretched lodgings in Mi
lan surrounded by numerous and
priceless specimens of the instruments
he had loved and lived for. Through
his enthusiasm and that of Others who
followed in his wake, England and
/ France, during the present century,
have become possessed of some of the
finest masterpieces of the old Italian
schools.

Very Discreet.

In the Brazilian hotels men are en-
ployed to do the chamber work, and
they are prone to rush into the bed
rooms of the guests when occasion re-
quires without knocking. A prim
little Yankee "schoolmarm" visiting
Rio Janeiro was much annoyed at this
custom, and after mildly protesting
several times without effect, she said
severely to the boy who did the work
in her room: Juan, be good enough
to understand that will not allow you
to open the door Of my room without
knocking. If you do it again 1 shall
certainly report you at the Office. Why,
1 might be dressing!" "No danger OF
that, sonora" responded Juan, in his
best English; before come in l al

AN UPRIGHT CARRIAGE.
1t Adds to the Beauty of Maid as Well
IA NiatrOn.

There re many things in the lives
of women which tend to develop car
riage of the body anything but upright.
says the Dietetic Gazette Girls who
tend the baby become one-sided be-
cause they carry the little one on one
arm more than on the other. They
might be taught the better way by
multitudes of little girls in all large
cities whose chief business is to tend
the baby while their mothers work De-
formity is common among them. If a
girl has any pride in being upright in
body as well as in morals she can, even
if she has an occupation which tends
to make her crooked, do much herself
to prevent it. In the first place care
fully cultivate the sense which tells
her when she is standing straight and
when she is not. BY paying attention
to this muscular sense it becomes in
time very acute. BY neglecting it the
sense becomes dull--is paralyzed. Gull
tivate it daily or several times day
by assuming the upright attitude.
Stand before the glass and see when
you are straight, or get friend to
tell you, and then put yourself in this
attitude whenever you stand or walk
or sit at any labor in which you are
engaged If you have only to walk
across the room do it in an upright at
titude. If you have only to stand and
converse with q friend in the street.
on the road, at a party, get yourself
so accustomed to the upright attitude
that you will feel uncomfortable in any
other. In time an upright habit will
be established and constant attention
to it will not be required.

Dear Aunt Dolly:
Will you please tell me if cats
were ever wOrshiped in Egypt.
Your nelce,
ErLEN JONES.
Ny dear Ellen:-I was very glad
to hear from you again. In looking
over some old scrap books found
piece about the worship of the cat
which is interesting that thought
I would put it all in just as found
it.
"The Goddess of Pasht, of Egypt,
many of the statues now seen in the
British Museum, was always repre-
sented with the head of cat. The
The temple was dedicated to her at
Benz Hassan, which is as old as the
eighteenth Dynasty, l0OO years be-
fore Christ. The cats that died were
buried In countless numbers, in pits
near the temple, having first been
embalmed, and then converted into
mummies. A few years ago these
cats were excavated, many tons of
the embalmed cats were broken up,
and shipped to Alexandra and to
Liverpool, and were ground up for
manure. One cargo alone was cal
culated to contain $4,000 cats. The
domesticated cat was venerated to
an absurd extent, Herodotus, recounts
the fact that when a cat died a nat
ural death in a house, everyone shay
ed his eyebrows.
