The Lighting OF a Room.

The lighting Of room, says The
Pharmaceutical Era, depends to largo
extent upon the color and material OF
the walls-in other words, upon the
percentage Of light reflected by them
Recent experiments have shown the
proportion of light reflected to be in
percentages as follows: Black velvet
O.4; black cloth, 1.2: black paper, 80;
dark blue, 8.5; dark green, 10.1; light
red, 1872; dark yellow, 90; blue, 80;
light yellow. 40; light green, 1876;
light orange. 54.8; white. 70: mirror.

Fish as Fond.

In relation to the widespread notion
that fish contains a large proportion Of
phosphorus and on that account is par
ticularly valuable as brain food, a bull
letin of the national department of ag-
riculture states that in specimens thus
far analysed the percentages of phos-
phorus are not larger than are found in
the flesh of other animals used for food.
But. aver if the flesh be richer in phos-
phorus. there is no experimental evil
dence to warrant the assumption that
fish is more valuable than meat or 9TH
er food material for the nourishment of
the brain.
Fish contains the samekind of nutri-
ents as other food materials. 1t is essen
tally a heterogeneous food and in this re-
spect resembles meat. Neither fish nor
meat is a source of carbohydrates. Oys-
tiers contain some carbohydrates, but
the foods which supply this group of
nutrients most abundantly are the cereal
grains. Fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc,
also cereals and vegetable FOCUS. all sup
ply fat, the amount varying in the diff
ferent materials.
Artificial digestion experiments made
with fish indicate that it is less quickly
digested than beef. being about equal to
lamb in this respect.

Laclerq.. This name was thought to be
an assumed one, and her refusal to re-
veal anything about her origin merely
piqued curiosity.

the hearts Of half the men in Washing

She knew everybody in Washington,
and commanded influence unbounded.
1t was said she received the commission
of a captain in the regular army. Ger
tain it was she startled all Washington
by riding down Pennsylvania avenue
with her superb riding habit finished
with the shoulder straps and buttons OF
this rank.
Agnes Laelerq crowned her career in.
Washington by marrying Prince Salm
Salm, one Of tie many young German
officers who received a commission in
the American army. She went with her
husband and his regiment wherever
they were sent during the war, always
a brilliant and dashing figure that en-
livened camp life and cheered hospital
work alike. When the couple returned
to Washington, the princess was the
object of much admiration.
But Washington became too tame for
the Princess Salm Salm. War and it's
excitements were the elements in which
she thrived, and she and her husband
set out for Mexico, where the unfortu-

when to Shake Hands.

The question of when and how to
shake hands with guests has been the
subject of much dispute in the United
States, where. as one woman declared
in speaking Of it. mo standard for hos
pitality prevails. and no n ever
knows whether or not the bow of the
hostess is supposed to be cordial enough
to imply the handshake that in any
other country would go with a greet
ing. A solution of this difficulty is
offered by what is said to be the latest
rule for handshaking
A hostess should shake hands with
every guest who comes to her house,
whether her own friend or the friend of
her friend. both on their arrival and
departure.
A young girl introduced to an older
woman should await the action Of the
elder, who. if Kindly disposed, will
shake hands. Any man presented to a
woman-unless he is decidedly elderly
or Observation-Disclosures wait for her to
make a movement toward shaking
hands. and when one woman presents
to another the man who is accompany
ing her it is the duty of friendship as
well as hospitality for the man to be
met with a cordial handshake.
Ordinarily, however. women are not
supposed to shake hands with men
where they are presented to them This
holds good aver at a dinner party,
where a woman for the first time meets

CARING FOR THE HAIR.
Gentle Massa&e-vaseIine Good For
Hair That Begins to Thin.

Gentle Maxsa3o-vaseIine Good For
Hair That Begins to Thin.
Badness seldom accurs among people
who have thick hair and skins 1t is the
distinguishing characteristic Of thin,
scanty hair and thin skin. So long as
the hair cells are alive the hair that is
in poor condition may be benefited
greatly by proper treatment. When the
hair cells are once dead. there is no
way of making hair grow again
Dandruff is merely dried scales Of
| the skin Of the head and only exists
where the scalp is dirty or unhealthy.
When the hair is thin soft, fine and
comes out easily. it should be brushed
very lightly if at all It should, how
ever, be loosened and lifted with the
fingers each night before retiring, and
the scalp should be gently nassaged or
rubbed softly with the tips of the fin
gers.
One of the best applications for dry
hair and hair that is thinning is vase
line. It and all applications should be
applied not on the hair. but on the scalp
at the roots of the hair. and should be
rubbed into the scalp.
Coarse. strong. oily hair may be
washed weekly. but fortnightly is gen.
orally often enough. Delicate, thin, dry
hair should not be washed with soap
oftener than once a month or once in
two months If applications of cold
water be made to the roots of the hair,
the hair should not be wet in the proc
ess. Part the hair here and there over
the scalp and put the water on with the
tips of the fingers. a toothbrush (bought
and kept for the purpose) or a small
sponge at the roots
Combs and hairbrushes should, how
even, be washed weekly. Use a tea
spoonful of ammonia in a basinful Of
warm water. Move combs and brushes
up and down in the water till they are
clean. then rinse in clear, lukewarm
water. wipe with a towel and dry in
the open air, out of the dust. 1t is an
