A HINT FROM PARIS.
Washing Blue Is Said to Remove ths
UnwcIcome Yellow Tint from
Locks Turning Gray.

Gray hair is an ordeal to the average
woman under the most favorable cir
cumstances and she probably finds in it
little that is to be palliated. On the
other hand most women would prob
ably not mind it so much if they were
certain that all their hair would be-
come white Immediately and not re,
main for several years in the yellowish,
mixed stage that comes to all women
who have not black hair. 1t is the
problem of getting their hair white all
at once that troubles most women.
Some of the Paris hairdressers are
said to be able to make the hair quite
white when onceit begins to turn. The
process is expensive under any circum.
stances.
A remedy has been found which has
been successful in the case of most Of
the women who have tried it. 1t is not
expensive, for the process consists in
giving the hair a bath of washing blue.
The blue must not be too strong but
must be literally mixed with water. If
one bath does not have the effect of
taking all the yellow out of the hair,
the operation should be repeated.
In a day or two after the bath OF
blue has been given the yellow will be.
gin to fade from the hair and in 8
short time it will be quite white.-N.Y

DEFENSE OF coRsETs.
Reasons Why They Are Needed
by Modern Women.

In an article on "Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the
Revue Scientifique by NJ. Frantz Glen
ard, the author controverts popular
ideas on the subject of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
81. The corset has its raison d'etre
from the esthetic point of view.
SO. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled in women's clothing, even
in the corset.
SO. The corset may be of use in GER
tain maladies."
These statements, which he &C
k~nowledges are somewhat audacious
on the part of a hygienist, he attempts
to justify in the course of his article.
As to the first, he remarks that the
adoption of clothing by man is the re
suit neither of modesty nor of adesire
to protect the body against the wealth
er; it is a result, he asserts, wholly OF
a desire for adornment-the same that
leads the savage to tattoo himself.
Mems costume has tended more and
more to straight lines. s~ignifying &C.
ton; women's to curved lines, signify
ing, according to the author, that they
are made to please" "Rigidity and
strength for man." he says, supple
ness and fascination for woman" The
corset, then. is an attempt to preserve
and accentuate the curved outline OF
the waist.

IN ENGLAND.
Efforts to Them Are Now
Being Made in Various Parts OF
the United Kingdom.

Great Britain is somewhat aroused
over the threatened overthrow of n
of its conspicuous and altogether dis
tinctive institutions that have with
stood the fire of vigorous opposition
for several exceedingly active dec
AIDES.
A plan has been formulated by which
1t is believed the barmaids of the inns
and public drinking places will ulti-
mately be suppressed. The movement
already has been started. 1t has not
yet been set going in London, where
more than 1000 barmaids are regular
ly employed, but in Glasgow active
steps are now being taken to suppress
the comely maids who dispense liquors
to the town folk in the inns, and the
movement has gained such impetus
that temperance workers are confident
that the issue will be fatty decided in
the near future.
Supporters of the temperance u
in England for many years have chafed
under the CALLING thought that maids

houses were in such common and al

PIT Game, are valuable.

A pit anne male will fight anything
smaller than a horse or a cow. Dogs,
cats, hawks, or anything that inter
feres with his flock will be fought as
long as he lives, and he will attack
his own if he ruffles him OF his
charge too much. The pit game can
not be surpassed as a table fowl, and
while the hens are not regarded as
equal to some breeds as layers, they
are not inferior to others in that re-
spect. When a game hen has a brood
of chicks and the cat m for a
meal (all cats will eat chicks), a sin
gle introduction to the hen gives the
cat the highest respect for her there
after, and the cats partiality for
fresh chicks will undergo a great
change. The stray dog is likely to
go off with an eye out or a cash on
his cheek, for the game hen usually
has spurs and they hurt. She will
fight the hawk to death, and will suf-
fer no living creature to harm her
chicks if fighting will prevent; and
she will raise her chicks, as no hen
is a kinder and more attentive moth
er. She never tramples her young. is
always ready to hover them, and doe
not race them to death. Neighboring
fowls keep at a respectful distance,
and the young stays are kept under
subsection by their sire, who also
keeps peace and good order in the
flock. We do not approve OF cock
fighting, but the pit game would be
a useful bird even if never fought I'D
the pit. He is courageous an datten-
tive to his mates, always ready to
protect the chicks, and is one of the
handsomest and proudest birds
known.-Poultry World.

n Hog Pasture.

II the parties who are inqulrlng
about the different kinds of plants
for hog pasture will SOW a piece OF
ground, near where they keep theih
hogs, to barley or barley and oats,
they will have a first-class early pas
ture long before clover or rape
should be turned out. The barley
should be drilled in, using four or
five bushels per acre. so as to make
a thick stand. Young pigs as well as
older hogs are very fond of barley
pasture, and it will last from the
time it is three inches high until
about the middle of June, ny which
time clover or rape will come in for a
steady diet. Feed a little shelled corn
to sows and little pigs until pigs are
weaned, and then when peas and
sweet corn are ready you will have a
good growing ration until your field
corn is ripe. Sow a piece of rye in
September or earlier and you will
have good late fall and early spring
pasture for your hogs which you are
to winter over. BY this method you
can have pasture for your hogs the
whole time unless the ground is COW
cred with snow.-Farm and Ranch.

FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING.
How the Farmer May Avoid Some
of the Many Roads Leading
To the P~OOrhodse.

There should be kept on the farm
enough live stock to consume the
meadow hay, corn, oats and SOM of
the straw and the major portion of
the corr fodder.
Enough of the acreage of the farm
should be kept in pasture to supply
the live stock with pasturage.
From various causes the wheat
crop is frequently a failure. The X
pense of preparing the seed bed, SOW
ing the seed, and the cost of the seed
frequently is a total loss. When a
is grown the price is seldom
high enough to give the farmer a
margin for profit.
The wheat 1.-THE grain) is seldom
fed on the farm producing it, but is
sold. This takes away from the farm
all the soil fertility that was used in
producing it.
If the farmer will grow and sell
wheat, he should buy and return to
his farm as much phosphoric acid
and potash as the wheat has removed
The nitrogen may be replaced. even
more than was used by the wheat, by
the succeeding crop of clover which
should have been established with
the growing crop of wheat. One of
the chief advantages of growing
wheat is the opportunity to establish
with it a succeeding crop of clover.
But the phosphoric acid and the pot
ash must be supplied in some other
wav. Wheat bran contains a great
deal more nitrogen. phosphoric acid
and potash than the same weight OF
the grain of wheat, corn, or oats.
If the farmer will grow and sell
wheat he should buy and feed an
equal weight Of bran, when bran is at

most universal vogue. In England the
temperance movement is almost if not
quite as strong as it is in America.
During the last few years the bar
maid has been the cause of numerous
skirmishes between the so-called
liquor element and British blue-rib-
boners, yet she always has come out
of each individual attack with a little
more popularity added to her occu-
patton, and as far removed from sup
preston as when the agitation began.
British innkeepers look upon the
lassie behind the bar as a stock in
trade more productive, in fact, than
the liquors they sell, for it is admit
ted that without her much of the pa
tronage of public houses would melt
away. The barmaid is, in fact, a
great drawing card for the public
house. If she happens to be pretty,
possessed of an attractive face and be-
witching manners, she is a greater
drawing card than if nature had been
less liberal with her, but at any event,
she is more valuable from the inn
keepers point of view than bar boys
or men, and that is why each attempt
of temperance workers to Dust her has
met with such vigorous and concerted
opposition.
Now, however, it is believed by both
factions that the grand climax of the
years of effort on the barmaid ques-
ton is near at hand. The agitation
recently begun in Glasgow is regard
ed as the opening skirmish of a
mighty struggle that has been prepar-
ing for the last two years between the
temperance folk and the liquor sell
ers of the United Kingdom. If the
movement succeeds in Scotland it is
considered altogether probable that
it may cross the Tweed and ~eSelop
England.
In selecting Glasgow as the place in
which to launch the crusade against
the barmaid. those composing the
'anti' faction did not act without dis
playing wisdom and keen foresight.
The Scots are a strongly religious peo-
pie, and it is for this reason that the
blue-ribboners expect to create a suf-
ficient amount of well directed senti-
ment to place their cause on a substan-
tial and effective basis. There are in
Glasgow more than 200 barmaids, and
it is believed when sufficient pressure
is brought to bear on the innkeepers
of the city the desired concessions can
be obtained. However, the crusaders
are prepared to fight if education and
persuasive methods avail them moth
ing, and the issue may be carried to
the highest court.
Great Britain is the only part of the
British empire where the barmaid is
an institution. There are hardly any
in Ireland, and none in Australia, New
Zealand, Canada or the Cape. In Eng
land there are about 12O, 900 barmaids,
while in London alone the number
reaches 1000.
