wh.. tho Hair Il Healthy.

When is the hair in good health?
When it is naturally glossy, respond
ing to the well-wielded brush as a sill
YER teapot does to the chamois leath-
er; when it is neither over-dry nor
pnduly moist and greasy; when 1t does
not fall out; when 1t is a good color,
and when it does not split at the ends.
Some lucky people have no trouble
with their hair; others are everlast-
ingly trying to improve their scanty
supply in one way or another. Scanty
hair, however, is not unhealthy hair
in a very great many instances. 1t
is fine hair and fine hair never looks
much. Possessors Of such a type of
tresses should comfort themselves
with the knowledge that super-refned,
delicately nurtured natures often own
this kind of hair. But there are some
people who are never satisfied. Those
whose hair is normally healthy should
rest contented with its color. thickness
and length. All they have to do to
keep it in a state Of glossy beauty is
to brush it well every morning and
every evening, being very particular
to use only quite clean brushes.

In . Little Girls Room.

If your little daughter is about to
move from the nursery into a room Of
her own here are a few suggestions as
to its furniture: Have a dotted Swiss
curtain al the window, tied back with
forget-me-not blue ribbons. Let the
little bedstead be painted with white
enamel and draped with, a canopy OF
white Swiss, through which a blue silk
lining should show. The bureau. which
should correspond in size to the bed,
should also be white, and, II ones
bank account will allow it, decorated
iii silver. The latest washstand for q
child's room Is of willow, painted In
white, with a deep hollow In the CEN
ter to hold the dainty bowl and pitcher.
In this room all the appointments Of
the washstand should be of white
china, strewn with forget-me-nots. In
the corner of the room have q baby
divan covered with light blue chtntz
and banked with white linen-covcred
pillows, ornamented with a blue silk
frili. A little willow rocking chair is
another requirement. It should be
painted in white and have the seat
cushioned in light blue plush. Cover
the walls with a paper which looks like
q pompadour silk. It may be cream
white in color striped with lines Of
.forget-me-nots. Have plenty of. pic
lures on the walls, and a carpet Of
blue felt OF the door, h~alf-covered by
rass, and the small girl who owns this
apartment can not nil to be happy.

A Comfortable Room.

A room as you enter it for the first
time suggests one Of two things
comfort or discomfort. Easy chairs, a
sofa with plenty Of soft cushions in
suitable places, a few bright pictures.
plenty of cosy rugs, and a little dainty
bric-a-brac we'll placed, are things in
dispensable to a comfortable room.
There must be tables and books, pa
pers and magazines; in fact, the fam
lily sitting room should be the best
used and most luxurious apartment in
the house-well lighted and we'll venti-
lated-instead Of which it is very often
the least used DON in the house, often
kept locked, unless there are visitors.
And the art Of -ornamentation in this
room is sometimes carried to excess.
I have entered houses where my first
thought was Of a fancy goods shop,
and I have .groaned. to think Of the
amount Of time and labor expended by
some poor woman to dust those goods.
Onesis almost afraid to move about at
ease lest fearful damages might be the
result. Handmade decoration carried
out in brackets and fans ornament the
walls effectively, and add to the beau
ty OF the room If In tasts and limita-
ton.

Notes on Gloves.

To be well-gloved is a mark of a
well-dressed woman, and yet this i'm
portant detail is often overlooked on
account of expense. Women who soon
find the bottom of their purses try to
get over the costly fashion Of wearing
gloves by buying cheap articles or by
wearing their gloves until the tan be-
comes black OF the black becomes
gray. Either course is a mistake. In
buying gloves choose those that are
elastic in texture, Is they fit much bet
ter to the hand. Choose a size which
fits comfortably, as baggy gloves are
inelegant, and tight gloves impede the
circulation. The ease with which the
top button can be fastened is a pretty
good test for correct size. Having
bought the gloves, they should be care
fully tried on, and not left until they
are wanted to be worn. If they are
hurriedly put on at first the fingers and
thumbs get twisted away, and a
never be brought back again to their
proper positions. A pair of glove
stretchers, which can be purchased for
a few cents, Is a useful possession, and
by its use gloves will 60 on the hand
with less coaxing than is generally
required by gloves. The buttons
of gloves are generally weak points,
and before the gloves are worn the
tape which attaches the buttons should
be more securely fastened to the
gloves. When the seams give way
they should be neatly oversewed with
cotton, and not with silk, which is apt
to cut the kid. Should the gloves split
the torn edges should be worked with
buttonhole stitches set rather far apart.
The looped edges of the buttonhole
stitch may then be sewed together. A
small split in black kid gloves may be
neatly and quickly mended by a small
strip of court plaster stuck on the
wrong side of the gloves.

TIL. Soil for Sugar Boots.

A man should not attempt to grow
sugar beets unless he knows he is in
side what is called the sugar-beet belt.
That belt has been largely defined by
analyses made as to the sugar con-
tents objects grown. But when a man
finds out that his land is suitable for
the growing of this root he must, 1t
he wants success, properly prepare the
ground. It might also be added that
q man may have a place on his farm
where the muck lies deep and rich and
where beets will make a big growth.
That land should not be used. He will
get more tops than. beet, and the beet
he gets will not contain enough sugar
to make it acceptable at the sugar fac
tory. The only way he could use such
beets would be to feed them to his
stock. The land used for this purpose
should not contain an excessive
amount Of humus. as is the case with
muck land, nor should 1t contain too
much Of the n~itrates. It needs a good
supply of potash and phosphates.
The soil should be deeply plowed.
and in cases Of the hardpan lying near
the top of the ground. a subsoil pillow
should be put in. The idea is to get
the soil pulverized. or at least broken
to q great depth, SO that the. tap root
Of the beet may find no obstacle in its
downward growth. This extension Of
the tap root is necessary to allow the
beet to keep right on growing through
the time Of drouth, as 1t will thus be
able to tap the water supply far below
the. surface Of the soil. For this rea-
ION It is not advisable to transplant
beets, as the roots become broken and
are not able to reach the water supply
below. OF course IL the year happens
to be very wet, with frequent rains
through July and August. the water.
supply In the surface soil might be
7sufncient for the needs of the beet;
but this condition is not one that can
be depended on.

room and sewing room. A row OF
drawers where new and old materials
are kept separate is an indispensable
necessity. The other furnishings
should consist of a sewing machine
and dress form, a large work basket,
a cutting table and spool stand in the
middle of which is a cushion for nee
dies. When work is owe they can be
left in the sewing room, and there is
no necessity Of tucking them away in

valuable time is saved by the arrange

The harrow is n Of the tools that
farmers should study with care, in the
light Of the needs Of their own soil
and its condition when plowed, for
narrowing is one of the most impor-
tant operations connected with the
preparation of the soil for crops, and
is scarcely>1e less so in the case of such
crops as corn, as an element In the
cultivation of the ground after the
crop is in, says Homestead. Every
body does not see the question alike.
as, indeed, how should they, since the
conditions of one farmer differ so
much from those Of another that their
several necessities in regard to 1t Will
greatly vary? There are some soils
that are in such a mechanical condi-
ton, and are plowed in SO timely a
way with respect to the moisture that
- in them, that they turn over under
the pillow like a bed of ashes and fall
apart with scarcely a clod in a days
work. Here narrowing is simply a
question of smoothing the surface, and

leaves the ground lumpy and full OF.
holes between the furrow slices, and
narrowing that merely scratches and
levels the surface does not fill the bill
at all. narrowing in such cases must
consist in breaking up the clods and
cutting the furrow slices to a sufficient
depth to settle the soil together and
make it a smooth, compact seed-bed
through which the wind will not blow
and evaporate all the moisture it con-
tains, and which will present to the
roots finely comminuted soil from
which they may extract nutrimenr
presented in an available form. Two
two opposite conditions scarcely un-
derstand each other when they talk
about narrowing. An implement that
satisfies all the requirements of the
n is Of little or no use to the other,
and results that are all that are neces-
sary in the one cast will in the other
he found worthless.
Outside of blowing matches, where
the best plowmen are on their best
behavior, there Is not q great deal Of
first-rate blowing done on soils that
are a little difficult. We are in the
habit of c%ultivating areas so large that
a days stint is a little too big to do
the work in a really artistic way, and
even the best plowmen fall into care
less habits, and the result is that most
fields are full of new places, .cloddy
furrow slices, balks and other imper-
fections, unless the soil should happen
to be Of the sort that pretty much
plows itself. The task of making a
mellow, well-pulverized seed-bed sufl-
GENTLY deep to take the seed at an
even depth and give its roots a chance
to spread themselves without drying
out in the open spaces between clods,
is not only a very important one, but
becomes largely a question of good.
narrowing and plenty Of it. with a tool

The narrowing that is done by way. OF
cultivation, on the other hand. is quite
another matter. 1t is very necessary,
but it is the surface-stirring. weed
killing, smoothing, moisture-conserv-
ing kind of narrowing that is needed.
and with an entirely different kind Of
a tool. The two kinds of narrowing,
in fact, have scarcely anything in COM
mon except the name.
