A splendid tonic for the hair is made
of glycerine, n ounce; eau de cologne
lstrongest), one-quarter pint; liquor OF
ammonia (SS0-SS2), one fluid dram; oil
of origanum, oil of rosemary, of each
one-half fluid dram; tincture of can
tharides, n fluid ounce. Briskly agi-
tate them together for eight or ten
minutes, then add of camphor-julep
(strongestJ, one-half pint. Electricity
properly applied, will often do wonders
toward restoring vitality to the hair.
In the case of a young girl who had
lost her hair in spots after an attack of
typhoid fever, a hair specialist advised
cropping and electricity applied
through a good-sized sponge, three
times a week, in conjunction with the
above wash. The treatment resulted
within three months in a beautiful
head of new hair. The hair should be
kept short for at least a year under
the above or similar circumstances.

Carrying Monev.


Many women, when travelling, carry
their surplus money in an envelope
pinned inside the dress, but some one
has now invented for the purpose a
pretty case made of a bit of linen,
eight inches long and 3h inches wide,
embroidered with the heavy white Ro-
man silk in five-pointed starn, made by
taking from the center fivO stitches,
each an eighth of an inch long. II
this is too troublesome, a simple ross
stitch, made with this silk i~fregularly
over the linen, about three-quarters OF
an incl apart. will give a pretty effect.
Or the bag may have IN the back the
future owners three initials, written
with a h~ne-pointed. hard lead pencil
to make the line as narrow ind light
as possibility the glver, and done in

Herald. Having embroidered the linen,
hem one end three Inches, and, be-
ginning half an inch above the pocket
thus formed, round OFF the square COR
ners, which will give the envelope
shape. Commencing at n end. basic
a piece of linen tape half an inch wide
along the sides and around the flap Of
the envelop. n ornament It with n
row of feather-stitching. Finish the
hem across the pocket in the same
way; sew a small pearl button one inch
below the hem in the center, and make
& white silk loop in the middle of the
flap.

Chinese Education Looks Backward.

ID. u. Sheffield, in writing Of "The
Civilization Of China" in the Forum,
says: 1T is said that when the first
Emperor of the Chin dynasty - two
centuries before Chrst-attempted to
destroy the classical literature, the
scholars restored it from their memo
ries. Certainly the scholars Of any
city in China could now rewrite the
leading classics from memory. Not
only are COnfucian scholars saturated
with these writings but the more
striking sayings have passed down
into the common speech, so that those
who are blind with their eyes open
(the uneducateO are constantly quot
ing them without thought Of their ori-
gin The common speech is loaded
with proverbs that reflect the thoughts
Of the ancients. Scholars competing
for hOnors must present in their es-
says the traditional Interpretation Of
the doctrines Of the sages II they
should presume to set forth views Of
their own not in harmony with this in
depreciation they would be stripped
by the public examiner Of honors al
ready conferred and would be exclud-
ed from competing for literary dis
tinctiOn. Thus the educational system
Of China has not served to lead mems
minds into new lines of thought or into
fresh fields of investigation; rather
has it served TO confine the thoughts Of
each generation of scholars within The
limits Of ancient instruction, and to
stifle independent thought and in
quiry.

The seals and sea lions which infcst
the mouth Of the Columbia River have
created such havoc among the salmon
fisheries that a crusade with dynamite
is soon to be begun against them. The
animals are both shrewd and bold,
and II is said that a seal will police
n set net with great regularity and
take a bite out OF the throat Of every
salmon it contains. Frequently when
a fisherman is taking his net into a
boat and IS about TO gan fish which
is entangled in the meshes, a seal will
rise and bite its throat. The seal herd
congregate on certain sandspt in the
mouth OF the river and e is proposed
that dynamite mines be sunk i'm the

The Mysterv of Lord LoveI.

One Of the remarkable disappear,
ances recorded in English history was
that Of Lord Lovel in the battle Of
Stoke, which took place Alb years ago.
This famous conflict was the decisive
one in the war Of the roses, and Is
sometimes referred to as the last great
battle on English soil. Six thousand
men were left dead upon the field The
forces Of the red rose party were victo.
riOus, and their victory established the
house Of Tudor upon the throne OF
England. After the battle all Of the
leaders Of the white rose forces were
found dead upon the field excepting
Lord Loycl, who was never seen again
Many were the reasons given for the
disappearance of this leader in the
Yorkist party, some asserting that he
was drowned while trying TO escape
across the River Trent, the weight of
his armor keeping his body from rising
to the surface. Another report had it
that he fled to the north, there living
a peasants life to the end Of his days.

were books, paper, pens and so forth.
In another part Of the room was a cap,
mOldered and decayed, of ancient pat.

scendants Of Lord Lovel to believe that
they had at last solved the mystery Of
his disappearance.
