MAKING USE OF ASHES.
Coal Cindcrs Make Excellent Walks
and Wood Ashes Are nm Excel
lent Fertilizer.

Many farmers door yard is made
unsightly by an ash heap, for such
place soon becomes the dumping heap
for all trash. Many farmers, where
wood is burned, still have the leach log
or barrel and save the ashes for maxi
ing lye soap. If these ashes were used
judiciously as n fertilizer we question
the economy of the home soap making,
especially where farmers family
will purchase soap by the box. If one
family feels this is more than it is able
to do, surely several families may be
found who will gladly assist in pur-
chasing whole box of soap. Then,
the thrifty housewife knows that soap
which has been stored for some
months will waste less, and this is an
economy that is not always fully ap-
preciated.
But for those ash heaps. If coal is
burned, you will have material for en-
cellent walks that will save much mud
from the house. The writer knows a
walk made of coal cinders that has
been used for several years without
any additional labor. The cinders and
coal ashes We're piled up well, and the
walk was then much used.
Put the wood ashes on the strawber-
ry bed and in the orchard. Ashes in
telligently used on the strawberry bed
will purchase a box of desirable soap
with much less work than making
them up into soap that is so hard on
the skin, and which, while it takes the
dirt out of the clothes, also takes
out the color and renders all mate
rial washed with it more tender. Keep
the ashes dry and use them as n fer
tilizer, and feed the charcoal to the
pigs. If managed in this way the ash
heap will disappear from the door
yard and the ashes be made of profit
able use.-Rural World.

feet, at which point the soil water or
water table is found in this case. 1t
will be noted that the roots reach
depth of 20 feet, and are then IL feet
above the water table or soil water
in the soil. 1t will also be noted that
the spread of the tree in nowise cor
responds to the spread of the roots in
the soil. 1t has been popular fancy
that the spread of the branches of Il
tree represents the spread of its roots.
This fallacy should have been eXplod-
ed without the use of diagrams, but
II has not been. We all know that
when trees are grown in tubs the
branches cover square area very
much greater than the surface of the
tub. The most important lesson to
be learned from this illustration is
that soil of proper texture is able to
support trees with very little surface
moisture. This explains why some of
our apple and peach orchards have
been little affected by the droughts
that have destroyed other economic
plants.

Thrown from His Cab and
Killed.

The following is most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
"Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and a good

this: me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil which had done him lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that l
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well" said Pope. You

some EARLY Asphalt Roads,

History and tradition have fur
nished us with the basic information
which has guided us in building the
civilization of to-day. 1t said that in
prehistoric times the Incas of Peru
built roads that extended from the
tropically heated valleys up the noun
tains to the regions of perpetual frost
using the natural asphalt rock, and
these roads are in good condition to-
day. The discovery OF large section
in Kentucky covered with asphalt
rock, which scientists have pronounced
a perfect and natural combination of
asphalt and quartz sand, most valuable
for paving purposes and far superior
to any artificial combination that
could be made, is of vital Importance.
The day may not be far distant when
every city and village will have all
streets paved with asphalt rock, ma
terial which is not only the most dur
able but cleanly and oiseless.--Amer-

MANAGING THE HAIR.
Most Important Part of the Task Is
10 Keep the Scnlp In Good
Condition.

Hair oils of every kind and all prep
arations FOR the hair are unnecessary
SO long as the scalp is in a healthy
condition. Brush the hair daily with
a stiff brush, and, if the hair has
enough natural oil to permit, wash it
once in two weeks with clear cold wa
ter. A little white CASTLE soap may
be used occasionally, but if it is miXod
with 90 per cent. alcohol ii will be less
injurious to the head than when it is
applied alone with water.
The falling out of the hair is caused
by fever or n severe arrangement of
the health. 1t is checked by improve
ment in the health and by applying
local remedies. An excellent lotion
for the scalp is made of two drachms
of tincture of cantharides, six
drachms of rosemary and II ounces of
elderfower water. Apply little once
or twice day after brushing the scalp
briskly with stiff brush until it is
in n glow. When the hair is short
It is an excellent plant TO dip the head
In cold water night and morning, and,
after thoroughly drying the hair,
brush it quickly and well for five min
utes.
An excellent hair wash, when hair
wash is needed, consists of seven
ounces of rosewater, one ounce of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia, one and a
half drachms of tincture of cantha-
rides and half an ounce of glycerin.
Shake and mix the mixture well in a
bottle. and apply it to the scalp with
an old toothbrush.-N. Y. Tribune.

best three answers to the following
questions:
"1ow can one, without giving any Of
fenes, induce lady to tell her age?"
J Answers poured in by hundreds, and
finally the prizes were awarded.
Go to the lady, says the winner of
the first prize, land say to her: Mad
anne, l dreamed last night that you
and l could win large prize at the
lottery by playing n number corre-
spending to our ages, and, therefore,
If you will just tell me your age, l will
go at once and buy the ticket. The
assumption is that desire to win the
money will impel the lady to comply
at once with the request.
ASK the lady," says the winner Of
the second prize, "how long she has
been married, and, after she has re-
piled, express great astonishment and
exclaim: Mon Dieu! you must have
been mere child at that time. How
oyd were you then, at any rate?'" From
her two answers the lady's age can
be ascertained without arousing any
suspicion on her part.
ASK the LADY," says the winner of
the third prize, chow many years
younger she is than her husband. This
is an everyday question, and the
chances are thousand to one that
she will answer it promptly and cor
rectly. Then find out the husbands
age, which can easily be done, and by
working out little sum in arithmetic
you can easily solve the problem"
