Rag OMeriugs.

The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells
has not entirely fallen into disuse The
superstition in a modified form exists
in other portions of the world. A trav-
eler in Persia found a tree with rags
tied to its branches. They had been left
there by the inhabitants of a province
infected with ague. A tree hung with
rags. was found by another traveller in
Africa. Crooked pins, old clothes, peb-
bles, shells, rusty nails, small coins,
and even bundles of heath were consid-
cred appropriate thank offerings at
shrines in earlier days, for it was be-
lieved that the saints and apostles did
not care for articles of value.
Such was the superstitious alteration
of fountains that it was forbidden by
the sixteenth of the canons issued in
900, in the reign of King Edgar, and it
was condemned by the canons Of st.
Anselm. 1t was also interdicted by laws
passed in the reign Of King Canute.
Since the reformation the practice has
not been prevalent, except in Ireland,
where many old wells consecrated to
saints and martyrs are yet made places
of pilgrimage There is scarcely parish
throughout the land that has not it's
own holy well where, despite practical
admonition, the faithful aad the faith
less come to pray for physical or mental
relief and leave behind them scrap of
rag as an Offering. -Godey's Magazine.

In the first place, if you want good

should not be allowed TO dry on the
scalp, but should be wiped Off with a
towel before one stops to rest. Then
the head should be frequently washed,
for good hair depends upon the strict
cleanliness of the scalp. A cap should
be worn while sweeping or cleaning, for
house dirt is bad for the hair.
The scalp should be washed as often
as once in two weeks; if the state of the
health will not permit of its being done
so frequently, give it dry shampoo
twice a week, using coarse towel, and
wash il only once month.
Next, you must guard against dry
heat. If you burn coal or use furnace,
have little teakettle of water always
boiling in the room in which you spend
most of your time A basin of water on
the back Of coal stove will not be suf-
ficient, unless there is heat enough to
keep the water boiling, which is sell
dom the case.
1t is also of the greatest Importance
that you eat properly. If your body is
not well nourished, you cannot have
good hair. Nervous dyspepsia is often
accountable for bald heads.
The hair should be given plenty of
sunshine. If you would go out bare
headed every day when the sun shines
and remain out for an hour, your hair
would be endowed with new life and
vigor. This treatment is more effica-
cious when the hair is worn loose than
when twisted into hard knot and con-
fined with wire hairpins. Soap bark is
recommended for shampoo 1t is

A TRUNK FOR BABY.

Convenient and Handy Continuance Tor
Nurses and Mothers.
In one respect babies are like the
poor-they are always with us, and
anything for their benefit is usually &C.
ceptable. The baby trunk or box shown
is a substantial rendering of materni-
ty and baby basket combined. The bot
tom of the box is quite roomy enough
for an ordinary baby's effects, and the
sliding tray at top can be used as bas-
ket or as additional room for hats, etc.
The whole thing is very light, on
good casters and can be wheeled around
at will within reach of the mothers
chair or the baby's bath and back again
to the wall.

the body of the box smooth slat or
ledge was fastened the full length of
each side for the ii inch wide tray TO

was about inches deep.
a light 2 inch wide molding was
placed round the body of the trunk even
with the top; also one even with the
bottom. The lid was also strengthened
in the same manner. The wood was
prettily stained and vanished and the
box furnished with four light handles
placed high up at sides and ends to enable
the nurse to reach them from any side
without stopping.
