Health and Hair Dressing.

The style and influence of hair
dressing is topic of importance to
the fair sex. Every health reformer
is bound to express qualification that
the days OF the chignon and of hair
pads are past. The present Grecian
style of dressing the hair, in which
pads are dispensed with and the hair
is gathered into simple coli behind,
is return to q classic and healthy
fashion. There may be objections on
the score of taste-itself variable
condition-tO the "boy's," or short
cropped hair, as feminine style; but
where health considerations intervene
there should be no objection to the
adoption of this latter mode, especially
for girls. Many diseases of the hair
are clearly traceable to the reign of
the chignon. 1t is only to be re-
gretted that what is rational in the
modern headdress does not extend to
the chest aud to the feet. But our
fair readers should know that SINCE
ing the hair is Of not the slightest use
as measure for hair stimulation. -

A woman's Club of Indian squaws.


The Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs has admitted to membership a
club of squaws, which will hold sales
and give entertainments to raise money
for charity, just as the clubs of white
women do.
This latest development of the
womans club movement is the Wa
ba-na-ki club of Indian Island. Its
membership is limited exclusively to
the squaws of the Tarratine tribe,
which occupies the government re-
servation on Indian Island on the
Penobscot, opposite Old Town.
The idea of the club originated with
Mrs. Helen Coffin Beedy, anthor of
"Mothers of Maine" Some months
ago she became interested in the peo-
pie of Indian Island. and, being an
enthusiastic club woman, proposed to
the sluaws of the island that they
form a woman's club. The PROPOSE
ton was well received, aod within u
few weeks an organization was eff
fected. The club name comes from
the tribal title of that branch of the
Maine Indian tribe to which the Tar
ratine tribe belongs. New York Jour

Rose pink velvet turbans are much

The tiniest of tiny monograms are
in vogue on smart stationery.
Sailed peanuts are strong rivals of

Treatment for "a Red Nose.

Nothing is greater blemish to the
face Of a woman than red nose. This
irritating condition may arise from
various causes, one of the chief being
Indigestion. A habit of bolting the
foo is very often the cause OF the in
digestion which shows itself thus.
Sufferers from red noses arising from
indigestion should be most careful in
their diet, avoiding heating foods and
hot drinks. The food should be taken
slowly and each mouthful be we'll mas
ticated. Sometimes red nose is due
to dryness of the nasal duct or delicacy
of the capillary organs. The infam-
nation may then be treated as follows:
Prepare wash containing 154 grains
of powdered borax, one teaspoon of
eau de cologne and five ounces Of soft
water. First dissolve the borax in
the water and then add the eau do
cologne. When the nose burns damp
it with this lotion and let it dry on.
II, when dry, it still burns, repeat the
treatment. Another mixture for the
same trouble may be made as follows:
Dissolve 30 grains OF borax in one
ounce of rose water and orange water
in equal parts. Wet the nose with
this lotion about three times day,
letting it dry on.
When the redness OF the nose arises
from kind Of congestion it should be
washed in warm water only ON going
to bed
A cold in the head will often pro-
duce red and inAamed condition of
the nose. A little cold cream sbould
then be applied to the sore parts. The
following is an easily prepared and
safe recipe for cold cream: Got half
pound Of the very best lard, put it in
basin, pour on it boiling water, and
when cold drain it off. Repeat this
process three times; then after quite
freeing the lard from water beat it to
cream with fork and scent it with es-
sence of bergamot. ;
The nostrils should never be touched
with the fingers. To wash them, a
little hot water should be shifted up
and then elected. Chicago Record.

ease that is attached to some othe,
vital organ originates in the brain
Occasional anxiety or care and trouble
at intervals may do little harm. But
incessant worry, disturbing the brain
cells from day to day and week to
week, will injure the brain beyond
repair. The brain being the nutritive
centre of the body is thus unable tc
nurture the other organs some OF
which will give way, and the victim,
though said to die of heart disease OF
lung trouble or disorder of the liver,
is, as q matter of fact, killed by worry.
So, if the brain is exposed to that re.
iterated hammering of an unpleasant
fear it will finally succumb, and the
human structure which it inhabits
will tumble into ruins. The micro.
scope is even able to detect this de.
generation of the brain cells from
