When a woman has brought herself
to be quite content with hair brushed
smoothly back, no matter whether
it is becoming or not, then she en-
Joys an enviable state of mind. But
what woman do you know who is
willing to be minus crimps and curls
right now, when fashion is unrea-
sonably demanding we shall wear
them. | say unreasonably, because
in warm weather the hottest sort Of
iron is not enough to fix crimps to
stay for any length of time
Summer hairdressing is problem.
The woman who has solved it best
this summer is the one who quickly
took up fashions leaning toward the
old fashioned rats" and rolled her
hair back over them. The hair il
first waved over irons, and then put
back over the pompadour rolls, and
either coiled softly halfway up the
back of the head or braided and
then put up. The rats are made of
wire lightly covered with hair to
match ones own locks, and are so
very light that they cannot do any
harm to the hair or head. In fact,
they are rather helpful to the hair,
for they lift it from the head and it
does not become so damp from per-
spiration. At the back the hair is
done in large waves just like the
front, and it is a handy and com.
Portable fashion to wear large
rounded shell-comb just under the
coil. Many women find even the
waved pOmpadour too severe a style
and, therefore, h0T little curls
about the fOreheau ...,y We worn if
one chooses.
Hair, either NrPided or twisted, is
put up in the slI tpe of an eight, and
this may be said to be the most pop
ular arrangement this summer
Either a heavy or light suit of hair
looks well in this shape.
The summer girl for outing occa-
sions prefers a fatty coined braid
pinned closely and neatly to the
back of her head. In front the hair
is parted and waved, and slightly
held out at the sides by tiny rolls
There is not stray lock flying. A
sailor, or walking hat, looks well

ing couture is built up in two or three
soft puffs, exactly even with the tor
of the head. Fancy pins, combs
flowers or feathers, are used as deco,
rations, though the big, old-fash.
Toned shell combs seem to be pre-.
ferred.
To be up to date, there must be 8
quaint effect about ones hairdress
ing. The girl who can wear her hail
parted straight and waved at the
sides and look demure is the fortu
nate girl of the season. One sees
more becominRly dressed heads this
season than ever before. The Ameri
can woman has suddenly been sue

ranging her hair.-EXchange.

The tender affection of Mrs. Glad
stone for the dead statesman was
characterized by implicit faith and
reverent devotion. An English
bishop was guest at Hawarden
Castle, and joined in a conversation
with Mrs. Gladstone and others con-
corning the Armenian atrocities.
"There is One above who knows -
piOusly concluded the bishop. Yes, v

Directions for Renovating the Batn-tub.

blrectlohs LOT hehONaClnS the Batn-tuD.
Among the crosses many house
wives have to annoy them is a bath
tub of uninviting appearance in a
room that otherwise looks fresh and
clean after renOvating. The tar
nished surface may refuse to become
bright, no matter what cleaning ma
terials are employed. The Standard
Designer tells how you may remedy
this and, by being your own work
man, may, at tritling expense,
make the tub quite desirable.
Procure a small can of common
paint of any light color desired, a
can of enamel paint of the same color
and good sized brush. Cut eight
or ten-inch pieces of yellow soap ill.,
to bits and put it over the fire to dis
so,ve in couple of quarts of water.
Fill the bathtub with very hot water,
and throw in generous handful of
powdered boraX ana the dissolved
soap. When the water becomes cool
enough to put the hands in it, scrub
the surface with a brush, letting the
water run off as the work is done.
Again partly fill the tub with hot
water and scrub it with the brush
and sand soap to make sure that all
greasy particles have been removed.
Then rinse it in clear hot water and
thoroughly dry. Cover it with two
cOatings of the common paint, let
ting one thoroughly dry before put
ting on the second coat. Then give
it several coats of the enamel paint.
This paint will dry more quickly
than the other, aud the bath tub will
no longer be an unsightly object
Cure must be used not to run very
hot water into the bath until the
! paint has hardened.

too short for her to take the time to
go upstairs and get out her work.

cies which may be embodied in the creed of
a party, there is no reason why ne should
decline to accept a position that will en-
able him to have a part in the practical ap-
plcation of these policies when they are
ratified by the people at the polls. The
profession of journalism requires extended
knowledge of politics and familiarity with
the theory and practice of government.
The successful journalist must of neces-
sity be a constant student of national is
sues and party politics. He need not aban-
don the profession of journalism TO enter a
public service for which years of study
and training have pre-eminently fitted HIM.
Politics and journalism go together; they
are inseparable.
As matter of fact, the average Journal
list is better fitted for the public service
than the representative of any other pro-
fession. There is no reason why politics
or legislation should be regarded as the
exclusive domain of the lawyer. There
are great many reasons why the bust
ness of law-making should not be entirely
controlled by those who make money Out
of the practice of law. If public office dis
qualities a journalist for impartial and
fafr-minded discussion of public measures,
then the lawyer who is elected to Congress
is disqualified from practice in any court.
There is no reason why journalist should
eXpend the energies of lifetime IN help
ing men to secure public office, when he
is himself better qualified, by experience,
education and training for the public serv-
ice than most politicians. The proverbial
ingratitude of politicians should admon-
sh newspaper writer's that their surest
hope of reward for party service is in ac-
tive and aggressive participation in the
contests for those places in the federal
service that are usually claimed by incom-
petents who have no especial fitness for
them, and who have no claim upon the
party outside that which is established
by corrupt manipulation of caucuses and
conventions, and which, 10 the disgrace of
modern politics, is too often recognized.

Many Odd Facts which Are Not Cen

From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
Human beings are of all sizes. but the
tall man is less common than the short /;
only one man in every POS exceeds the
hight of six feet. For every foot of stat
ure a man should weigh from twenty-six
to twenty eight pounds, a proportion that
is not the lot of all in these hurrying,
scurrying days
An average-sized man weighs 14O
pounds; a woman 125 pounds. Curiously
enough, the mean weight and hight of
lunatics are below those of sane people
Another unexpected thing in this respect
is that a negros skeleton weighs more
than that of an Englishman.
The vitahzing power is the blood, a
drop of which takes twenty-five seconds
to go the rounds of the body. There
passes through the heart once in every
three minutes an amount of this precious
fluid equal to all that is contained in the
body.
The mileage of the blood circulation re-
veals some astonishing and undreamed- of
truths. 1t is estimated that, assuming the
average speed of the heart to be sixty
nine beats a minute the blood travels POI
yards in sixty seconds; in other words.
seven miles an hour l6S a day or $500
per year
If man of eghty-four could have one
single blood corpuscle floating in his
blood all his life, it would have traversed
in that period no less than 5,150S0S miles.
The average weight Of the brain of an
adult male is three pounds eight ounces;
of a female two pounds four ounces. The
woman's brain begins TO decline in weight

thorites. the nerves with their branches
