DANCER IN HOME SHAMPOO.
improper Method Of Drying the Hair
Causes Earaehe.

Zone reason why women are trou.
bled with earache more generally than
men is their method of drying the
hair after a home shampoo" said a
doctor. They dry II with a fan, which
is quite proper, but the way they use
the fan is entirely improper Instead
Of welding that so as to send the wind
through the strands OF hair they
manipulate It in such fashion that
they blow a regular gale right into the
ear, and the consequence is that for
several days after the shampoo the
ceansed locks clothe a head that Is
the seat Of mighty ASSORTMENT OF
aches and pains. II, instead of the
ears, the hair itself were made the
center Of the artificial cyclone, the dry.
ing process would be effected more
quickly and a severe attack of earache
averted"

How to Polish Tortoise.

Tn this tortoise shell age it is well to know how to keep brilliantly polished the many pretty ornaments with which every gentle head is decorated Brown locks and fair ones may be faithfully shampooed, but the shell combs and fancy pins are bound to become dull unless every now and then they are given a brisk rubbing. The finest of old linen is none too good with which to polish up good shell, and after first moistening the soft old cloth in luke warm water it should be touched into the charcoal box, says the New York Journal. The finely powdered char coal is the only kind for this purpose, it goes without saying. After this has been wiped off a little prepared chalk should be used in the same way, the chalk having been wet with vinegar
 AS finish to give a smooth gloss to the tortoise a little chalk should be taken into the dry palm of the hand and the dainty hair article given an- other good rub.

 "Are you sure he wasn't joking| asked Mrs. Bowser.

CARE OF FERNS.
How These Plants May Be Made
 to Thrive.

How These Plants May Be Made
 to Thrive.
 Contrary to the opinion of most peo- pie, the Boston fern thrives best when exposed for at least half day to strong sunlight An ideal place for such fern is an east bay window. The plant never should be turned around except twice year, once early in the spring and again in November, says the Chicago Tribune. About the list of March cut off all the fronds on the side that has been turned toward the room Then turn that bare side toward the light. In few weeks the young fronds will be half grown. In the autumn repeat the process. Tn this way all the fronds are renewed every twelve months.
 Quite as important as this systematic exposure to sunlight is proper drain age. The pot which holds the fern should stand on an inverted bowl in a jardiniere. There is always water in the jardiniere, but owing to the invert- ed bowl it never reaches the roots of the fern. If the pot stands in water the soil sours and the roots rot, some times to within a few inches of the soils surface.
 Another point that must be remem- bered is that the roots of the fern need air. This free circulation of air is ob- tained by having tho jardiniere several sizes larger than the inner receptacle. [
 Every week stir into the soil half a teaspoonful of plant food. Be careful not to let the food touch the fern itself, but mix well with the earth about it. If scales should get on the fern wash it with a soft sponge dipped i'm suds | made from whale oil soap. After two l or three hours wash off with clear water, as the suds fill up the pores of l the fern stems.

 An hour later he took a seat in the back yard with his back to the fence It was a quiet, dewy night, and the neighbors seemed to have gone to bed. in the moonlight, and he had pencil and paper to make few notes. The memoranda, as Mrs. Bowser found them on the grass next day, read;

 Mrs. Bowser, who had gone to back window to see how the dew doc cure got along, was just in time to see a bunch of cats numbering about a hun dred thousand drop from the fence. They dropped on the Bowser cat and on MT. Bowser himself, and for a mo- naent the air was rent with yells and caterwauIing and cuss words. Then Mr. Bowser separated himself from the cats and made for the back door on the jump, and a minute later he stood before her with the dew glisten- ing on his bald pate.

The Fancy For Spotted Borders to
 Plain Materials.
 The jaunty costume illustrated, while designed as appropriate for yachting, will be equally useful for seaside wear, mountain and country use in it's general features, as little is demanded for these purposes beyond short cut skirt and any neat blouse or coat ar rangennenE
 One of the taking developments of the present season, where decoration is concerned, is the fancy for spotted borders to plain materials. On all sides we have seen, and are destined to see, this form of ornamentation, and very charming is it in it's simplicity, especially so after the almost bewilder- Ing mass of tucks and insertion, braids and buttons, which has been prone to crowd into the first place.
 The design is we'll adapted for serge -for instance, blue with blue or red and white spotted border.
 The skirt Is one of the new box plaited designs. The box plaits are ar ranged at intervals all round, one straight down the front and one either side of the back, where they touch, the placket hole being placed between them and securely fastened with hooks and eyes. There is no reason, however why this necessary but sometimes treacherous adjunct should not be more conveniently arranged beneath the first box plaat on the left side.
 The seams in every case are directly underneath plait and are thus per feckiy inv1sfbfn in the finished skirt while they most striGlfuiEy 1t the figure from the hips to the waist without the .aid of darts. The plafts, after they are pressed down. are finally stitched at the edges.

ABOUT FISHING.

Since O." D. Leach caught that big pickerel in Columbia reservoir the other day, fish stories have been rife. About every man within twenty miles here abouts, who ever caught a pickerel, an eel or a bullhead, or has even gazed at one of those goldfish in Sam" Ches- bros show window has been moved by jfhe spirit to reel off fish stories to beat the band. ...
 Some fisherman are mean enough to doubt that MT. Leach's pickerel weighed seven pounds when taken from the water. because, when weighed in Willi- mantle, the fish did not cause the scales to record that weight by several ounces. This is explained by saying that a fish will shrink after being taken from the water. But while they admit this, these doubters say he would not shrink to any great extent.
 Jerome B. Baldwin says that in Janu- ary 1889, he caught a pickerel in Co., lumbia reservoir that when taken out of the water, weighed six and one-h3sf pounds, and at night when he reached this city, it weighed but one ounce less. The length of MT. Baldwins pickerel was twenty mine inches and the girth fifteen and one-half inches, whereas MT, Leachs fish was but tWenty-seven inches long and of smaller girth. MT. Baldwin has a photograph of his pick erel, on which are marked its weight and measurements.
 It is too bad to doubt the word of a
