HAIRPINS RUIN THE HAIR.
now 70 Properly Treat the scalp and
the Hair.


To keep the hair in good condition
it is absolutely necessary not only 70
brush it with clean brushes and greet
regularity, but certainly once in two
weeks 10 give it thorough shampoo
ing SO that every particle Of dust may
be removed from it. The soft. fluffy
look of the hair, and its beautiful
gloss after being shampooed, shows
how grateful it is for the treatment
given it. Experience, though some
times a tiresome teacher, has taught
me that the best way to cleanse the
scalp and the hair is to use very hot
water made "soap-sudy" with tar
soap; use a nail brush. upon which the
soap has been rubbed, to scrub the
scalp thoroughly, and. after every
part of the scalp is washed. rinse the
hair and head with baths of water,
the first being the temperature Of that
used for washing the hair, and the
last ordinarily cool, the baths be-
tween having been gradually graded.
To get such a bath for the head 1t is
only necessary 10 hold ones head over
the basin and have the water from Il
small pitcher poured over it. Each
bath necessitates the wringing out of
the hair until it is quite free from
soapsuds. and until the water is as
clear as before it went over the head.
When the hair is shampooed it is wise
10 put on loose wrapper than cannot
be injured either by water or soap.
do not advise the use Of a fan in dry
ing the hair, as it has been found to
give many women severe colds, nor
do / recommend the loose Turkish
toweling for rubbing the hair. since it
is apt to leave tufts of white cotton
all through; but for the first rubbing
use a thick hard Turkish towel and
after THAI rub the hair and the head
with ordinary towels which have been
made hot for this purpose. You viii
be surprised to see how quickly and
comfortably the hair dries. Do not
put the hair up until it is perfectly
dry; or il will remain damp for a long
time and have a close, moldy. and al
together undesirable smell about it.
Use as few hairpins as you possibly
can.-Ladies' Home Journal.

American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers, which has attracted the most
eminent and progressive miners TO this
city, opened here to-day. The conven-
ton win last until Thursday, when the
visitors will leave this city on a two
weeks tour of the mining districts.
DR.. James Douglas called the meeting
to order shortly after the appointed
hour, and made a pleasing address of
welcome. He spoke of the social phases
of the progress of mining, and the
works in its province during the past
fifty years, and of the bright outlook
in the future. The tendency is to open
up for the investigation of all those
matters pertaining TO science over
which a cloud of mystery and secrecy
has been thrown, and to diffuse the
knowledge broadcast
The speaker emphasized the great
benefits derived from railroads and of
their relation to mining industries.
The following papers were presented
in abstract by their authors. This was
done in order to shorten the session:
