when to Cut the Hair.

1.-THE hair should never be cut at all.
1t makes it bleed and Injuries and hard
ems it. 1t should be singed always"
"At every new moon"
'"The moon may control the tide, but
not the hair. No; every three months is
often enough.
.The hair should be light and free on
the head. 1t should have air and not be
plastered down fat To shuttle 1t is
food for it, for the hair can rest that way.
The hair should always be brushed little
before it is combed out, for combing hair
breaks and bruises the roots more than
does anything else"
"And at uightY
"Ah, at nightw said madam. "At night
the hair should be put in very loose
braids or even allowed to hang over the

phey Are the Most Artistic of All
Summer Homes.
The most delightful vacation home Is
log cabin. There are log cabins and
log cabins, of course, from the palace
like establishment of the Adirondack
millionaire, which resembles cabin
only on the outside, to the humble
shack Of the hunter. All, however, are
equally fascinating if they are fur
nished in the right way so that the
rustic woody" effect is not lost Not
single piece Of wood should be painted
either within or without the cabin.
The most effective furniture is on the
bent wood order, and much of it can be
made from the young forest trees. The
trees themselves stripped of their foli-
age and with their branches cut down
into little knobs make very effective
pillars for the rustic veranda, and they
are often used to give a massive look
TO the fireplace. In most cases, how
ever, this Is made entirely Of cobble-
stones, as in the illustration. which
represents the interior Of the living
room of an Adirondack camp.
This room Is long and low with a
heavily beamed ceiling. There is no
attempt made to cover the walls, and
as the logs are smooth and beautifully
oiled they add to the effect. The floor
is Of hard wood brightly polished. The
furniture In this case Is of pine, stained
deep brown. The cushions on the
settee are red and hunters green

TO clean wash leather gloves make
two quarts of suds with warm wa
ter and good white soap and add to
them a teaspoonful of borax dissolved
in half pint of hot water When the
suds are cold. put the gloves on and
wash them slowly and gently, as If

a shady place to dry. When nearly
dry, draw them into shape. When
quite dry. rub them between the hands
to soften the leather. Be careful to do
the work gently. for when wet the
leather is very tender and liable to
tear.

The FnaIn Ennter Cards.

Almost all the Easter cards are dis
tinctly secular. Flowers and doves and
bther emblems of peace and purity
adorn them, but there are few repre-
sensations of sepulchers and very few
religious texts. To such an extent has
the secular card craze been carried, In
deed, that those who refuse to buy
them are known as specialists, and
some few ecclesiastical cards, which
no doubt the shopkeepers think inap
propriate to the season and only called
for by cranks, are slowed away fu

PRINCESS GOWN MODEL plain skirt. but
WITH HALF BELT. If two or more
founces are to be added it should not
be quite so wide; otherwise the loun-
ces would make it clumsy around the
feet
1t will be noticed that in the dia-
gram there is q slash cut in the top
of the waist reaching down to within
three inches Of the front dart and on
the same line with it. This Is to give
more emphasis to the princess form
and adds materially to its beauty
At the sides under the arms are curves
which give the fit over the hips and
throw the fullness toward the back.
This diagram gives the foundation OF
the princess shape, and where no reg
ular pattern is available it is well to
cut one out of the lining and try 1t to
the figure after basting to make sure
1t is right. Then the outside is to
be laid fiat and the lining basted to 1t
and cut. 1t is very essential that the
outside and lining should be exactly
alike, otherwise it may draw, and that
would spoil the effect.
If a train is desired, all that is nee
essary is for the cutter to extend the
lines in the back Of each piece as
many inches as she wishes the skirt to
be longer than the pattern. The slope
should be gradual. but decided, and
the front parts Of each piece should be
somewhat longer, all except the mid
die of the front. The slope on the
front breadths should not be over an
inch and half. to preserve the outline

The princess shape for home gowns,
with some slight notifications from
the old styles, is to be favorite for
the coming summer, and it, will be
adopted for many Of the diaphanous as
well as rich materials. For the lighter
goods it is to be fairly smothered with
lace and chiffon in the form of ruff
fles, the most of them being cut in the
new and rather difficult shaped
fiounce." With the darts taken in in
front the gown becomes snug fitting
and Is more dressy.
The princess dress Is cut in six
pieces, not counting the sleeves or
fiounces, insets or collars. These six
pieces are the foundation and reach
from the neck to the feet in unbroken
lines. If one can obtain pattern of
such a shape, it saves work, but if not

Picking Cotton by Machinery.

Contracts between some cotton
growers near Greenville and the in
ventors of the machine have been
signed and a full and complete test
will be given next fall. Experiments
have been made in this direction for
many years, but without success, and
if this trial proves what the inventors
claim for it there will be a revolution
in the cotton industry. If the ma
chine proves itself capable SATISFACTORY

Cause and Effect.

DR.. Herbert Fisk, of the North
western University, believes he has
gathered statistics which prove that
the use Of tobacco is incompatible
with the use of brains. He declares
that among his students scholarship
is in inverse ratio to smoke, and adds:
THE students who get low marks
of course say it is not due to tobacco.
A somewhat careful observation of
facts has convinced us that it is tobac-
co. Last year not n Of the boys
who used tobacco stood in the first
rank of scholarship. This has been the
usual rule. One year, out of the thir-
ty-three pupils in the first rank of
scholarship there was n user of to-
bacco. The largest percentage of to-
bacco users is found in the fifth rank
of scholarship"

VAR ON LAWLESSNES.

The Carrollton Conservative had in
last weeks issue a strong and sensi-
BILE editorial in which the editor refer
red to the strong charge made by
Judge Stevens to the grand jury then
in session in that county. 1t compli-
mented the Judge for his very able
charge, and then appealed to its read
ers to render their assistance in up
holding the great majesty of the law.
Carroll county has had in some in
stances a bad record as to violations
of the laws, but in her borders may be
found some Of the best people in the
state. They respect and uphold the law
and regret as much as anybody can the
unfortunate reputation which their
county has been given by the actions
of some lawless citizens. The efforts
Of Judge Stevens, who is a resident of
the county, to cleanse the stain are to
be commended. All the talk of a CEN
fury will not better the state of af-
fairs, however, unless the people do
something. The court cannot do all.
The real evidence against the offend
ers must come from the citizens and
local officers.
The utter disregard of the various
laws is very hurtful to a county: not
alone with outsiders, but with home
folks. People do not want to live
where lawlessness prevails unrestrain-
ed and few immigrants may be obtain
ed when it is the case. If a check is
not put on it there are some present
residents who will move elsewhere.
They are becoming tired of existing
lawlessness and if they cannot be pow
erful enough TO put down the bold and
brazen infractions of the laws it is
but natural to expect that they will
go where such do not exist. 1t is to
be hoped that Carroll county people
will be successful in getting rid of a
great deal of her trouble with the
lawbreakers. The Conservatives
splendid remarks will not only apply
to Carroll but to some other counties
in the state as well.
