CARE OF THE HAIR.
Nothing Adds More to Woman's At
Effectiveness Than n BecOm-
ing Couture.

There is nothing that affects the ap-
pearance more than the arrangement
of the hair. When a woman finds a
style that is becoming to her, she
should not change it to follow every ca
price of fashion. If parting the hair
in the middle looks better than a
pompadour, wear it in that way by all
means. Those who are blessed with
curly hair need not worry about waves
and ringlets about the forehead, but
if it is necessary to use crimping pins,
q good bandoline is a great help. It
may be made by soaking ounce seed
in water all night. Remove the seeds
in the morning, wet the hair that is
to be crimped with the water and roll
it up while it is wet. It will stay
crimped long time.
If you wish to have pretty hair, it is
necessary to keep it clean, yet it is
often injured by using ammonia or
strong soap in washing. Fill wash
bowl half full of warm, soft water and
dissolve a teaspoonful Of boraX in it.
Wet the head with the water. rub
enough good toilet soap on it to make
a strong lather and wash the scalp Wig
orously. Borax is perfectly harmless,
little soap is needed. Immerse the long
hair in the water and rub it between the
hands as you would a soiled garment
to wash it. Rinse with warm. clear
water, wipe as dry as possible with
towel, then spread the hair over the
shoulders and sit near the fire, or in
the open air if it is warm enough. SO it
will dry quickly. Rub a little vaseline
on the hair to keep it from flying about.
This restores the oil that is removed
by washing; at no other time is any
oil or pomade necessary. The hair
should never be rolled up while it is
damp.
Dandruff may be removed by the fire.
quent application of solution of
borax, using a teaspoonful to small
cupful of water. Rub it into the scalp,
then comb and brush the hair care
fully. Bay rum and borax make an ex-
cellent hair tonic, stimulating the scalp
to healthy action and causing the hair
to grow.-Ladies' World.

PRETTY MINK STORY.
Family of the Little Creatures Re
turns to Hts Old Home After
Long Absence.

A very pretty mink story comes from
one of the cottages on the shores of
Lake Auburn. For several years two
minks made their home under a shelly
ing rock, close by the cottage. They
lived after the manner of all minks,
raising each little brood OF vigorous
young which in due time struck out for
themselves. The people at the cottage
liked to see them round and were care
full not to disturb their domestic happi
ness.
But two years ago they suddenly dis
appeared and have been mourned as
dead ever since. A few days ago, how
ever, they returned. The first sign OF
their presence was the discovery OF the
minks in the pasture back OF the cot
tage, gathering ferns and carrying
them to the old home under the shelv-
ing rock. The ferns were for the COLI
struetion of a nest. The work was
prosecuted industriously and in due
time a member of the household, seated
on the piazza of the cottage. saw tn,
minks swimming along the shore with
three little minks in their mouths. dis
appearing when opposite their old
home under the shelving rock.
For some reason or other tie new
home had been forsaken for the old one.
The cottagers learned that while the
nest of the minks is out of the water it
is necessary that the entrance must be
effected under water, the idea being 30
disguise their abiding place. 1t was
found that the water had fallen away
from the entrance to the new home in a
stump, and this is supposed to be the
reason of the return to the old home
stead. The family of minks don't know
it. but it is more than welcome.-Lew-

WINTER PROJECTION
How to Prevent the Killing OF 6ers
ries of All Kinds and Grapes
by Severe Weather.

Some of the best varieties of black
berries, raspberries and grapes are
killed BY severe winter weather and
do not do well north of the latitude OF
St. Louis These may be saved by lay
ing them down and giving them Sttie
protection from the cold weather.
This is often neglected because it in
thought to be a slow and hard job 10 do.
but such is not the case. In half day
a man and boy can lay down -arge
Patch of berry bushes and do it well
The directions for doing this will apply
to grapevines and peach trees, the lay
lug down of peach trees requiring lit
tie more care and time. Begin at the
south end of the row Of bushes and
with spade take out a good spadeful
of soil from the south side of the bush.
Then press the bush over toward the
south by pressing il with the foot close
tc the ground. When the top is lying
on the ground put the soil dug out on
the tops to hold them in position. and
proceed by treating the next bush in
the same way. laying the top of 4 on
the base of the bush first pressed down.
Continue this until the whole patch is
laid down in rows. the top of one bush
resting on the roots of its neighbor to
the south. When freezing weather
comes-not before-cover the bushes
laid down with cornstalks thrown on
in a hit-and-miss manner. so the snow
will drift in among them, and the whole
will keep safely until spring. when the
covering may be removed from the
bushes and left on the ground as
mulch.
Rosebushes and tender shrubbery of
all kinds may be laid down in a similar
way and kept perfectly through the
severest winters.-Farmer's Voice

MILK PAIL COVERS.

On the isle of Jersey, il is said, they
cover the. milk pail with muslin anu
milk into 1t. To hold the cloth in place
they cut piece of spring steel a little
smaller than the top of the pail. A
piece Of the cloth is cut to be larger
than the pail top and the edge is
hemmed over the steel, and this is
placed over the top of the pail, the steel
holding it in place. To get the cloth
the right size, pass the cloth over the
pail and fasten il in place with the
spring; then mark where the sprino
comes, fold up the hem just there and
run the spring through it. A similar
arrangement, used by Virginia dairy
man. was made of a ring of telegram
wire, cut TO be an inch smaller than the
topof the pail and bent SO the ends would
almost meet. A circle of cloth an inch
larger all around than the ring. SO there
should be little sag, had hem about
