How to Treat the Hair.

Nowoman who has scant, frowsy,
il-groomed head of hair can possibly
be beautiful. On the other hand, a
woman, however homely her fea-
lures, if possessed OF luxuriaut
growth of soft, glossy, beautifully
dressed hair may be very good to
dock at.
There are women who think be-
cause their hair il thin ana poor
that it is hot worth "fussing over. y
But it is the thin and poor hair that
must be cared for. Otherwise its
possessor will be bald long before
middle life.
The scanter tive hair the more
liable the scalp to disease. Germs,
microbes and dust find room in which
to lodge and in which to accomplish
their root destroying work. Hair
should never be washed oftener than
once in four or six week. Constant
washing ruins the hair. 1t derrives
it of its natural oil, makes it liable
to fall out and break and hastens a
tendency to grayness. Very hot
water and strong soaps should never
be used. The yolk of the egg makes
the very best shampoo. Beat the
yolk up, mix it with little tepld
water and rub it thoroughly into the
roots all over the scalp. Then rinse
the hair ia two or three tepid waters.
This method of washing the hair
renders it beautifully soft and glossy
and gives the pretty, fluffy effect
which most women think can only
be obtained with soda, ammonia, or
strong kitchen soap, all of which are
abso.utely fatal To the hair.
Ones method of dressing the hair
has mach to do with its general con-
.dition aud well beipg Twisting and
pulling the hair tightly from the
scalp are most injurious. The hair
should be arranged as loosely as
fashion and beauty will permit.
Never, under any circumstances,
use or permit any one Else, 10 use hot
irons to wave or curl your hair. Iron;
may beautify the appearance of the
hair for few hours, but they quick
fyrnin and destroy its beauty. They
burn awav ell the natural oil, which
is the source Of the soft sheen anC
glossy surface 50 alluring in thu
hair.-Kx.

rrue. ther who send out mission,

True. they who send out mission
aries are a different class from those
who send out rum, but in the minds OF
the heather it is all the same. The
only opportunity they have of judg-
ing the people of Christian countries
is when sailors and travellers land in
their midst, and traders do business
with them. They say, these are Amer
lean Christians or English Christians,
and see what their religion does.
Hence, when missionaries from Chris
tan lands go among the heather to
propagate the Gospel, not infrequent-
~ they are accosted thus: "Why do
you come here? Why do you not try
~ teach and reform your country
men? Would you have us adopt such
a religion as yours. to abandon the
systems of our fathers, to become
drunkar6s and blasphemers? You tell
us if we remain heather we shall GER
tainly perish. but it is better that we
should suffer than embrace religion
like yours. james B. Dunn, D. D., in

NOT LIKE KLONDIKE RUSH.

Between the northward rush of gold

there is a world of difference, both in
the character of the argonauts and in
the outfits they take in. The rush to

ODD FLIGHT OF A PIGEON.
Pledged in Railway Station, 1t Reg
uIarIy Accompanies Train
Out and In.

There is pigeon in Belgium which
that goes from Liege to Waremme. 1t
began to accompany the train toward
the end of January, and it has done so
every day since then, except on three
occasions. The Meuse. one of the lead
ing newspapers in Belgium, vouches
for this fact, and gives other curious
details about the remarkable bird. The
train starts at 9:57 a. M. and crowd
gathers daily to see the pigeons go with
it. The bird wheels around the sta
ton while the passengers are taking
their seats. and as soon as the whistle
is blown and the journey begins it takes
up a position a little behind the en-
CINE, and then it flies surrounded by
the moist though warm steam, which
it evidently enjoys. 1t retains this po-
sition even while the train is passing
through tunnels. and apparently is not
incommoded in the least by the warm
vapor. When the train reaches its des-
tination the bird flies swiftly along the
railroad track back to Liege, where it
arrives about 1890 O'Clock.
This pigeon was born at the railroad
station in Liege. and consequently is
familiar with trains, smoke and steam.
Until "a few months ago it occupied,
with II others, comfortable cote. and
when this was removed from the sta
ton by order of the authorities it re-
fused to abandon its old home, though
| its II companions at once sought for
| shelter elsewhere. This fidelity was
| suitably rewarded. The railroad Off
Gals gave the bird carte blanche to
search for food wherever it pleased, and
the public literally supplied it with
corn and other dainties. A singular
fact is that on the three days when it
failed to accompany the train a Bel
gian engine was used instead of an
English one, and the assumption is that
the fuel consumed by the latter gives
forth steam which the bird prefers to
| that of a Belgian engine.

SLY OLD Ii HUNG CHANG.
How the Famous Chinese Minister

Many residents of Chicago will re-

quaint observations on men and things

shrewdness, which shows itself in
everything that the old man says or
does. characteristic story is now

the more conservative members of the

a present magnificent but, as he had
every reason to believe, a poisoned cake.

to three men, of whom one at least
was absolutely guilty. Ii had the trio
arrested and brought to him. The
cake was produced, with the remark
that ''politeness forbade his tasting it
until the three generous donors had
had an opportunity to enjoy its excel
| lence."
Lii cut the cake and one of his servi-
tors handed it to the unwilling guests.
Each took piece and ate. or pretended,
to eat. One crumbled the pieces and
let them fall to the floor, but the other
two ate calmly, without manifesting
any emotion. Ten minutes and the
two men began to show symptoms of
suffering. Ii smiled benignantly and
said to the man who had not eaten:
"Your wisdom is so great that am
compelled to preserve your head as
a souvenir to transcendent genius"
The man was removed and promptly
lecapitated. To the other two the
premier remarked:
''The cake that you are eating is not
the one you sent, but one which l had.
my cook initiate. The poison from
which you are suffering exists only in
your imagination. l know of no way
to cure your present pain except by
letting you share the fate of your
