TO KEEP THE HAIR HEALTHY.
"A Collection of "DOn'ts" for the Guild
ance of Those Who Value
Their Tresses,

Don't brush the hair only. Brush the
Budget.
Don't brush the hair roughly Let
the motion of the hand be light and
gentle.
Don't brush the hair in any other
direction than the way in which it
grows.
Don't think that you must not brush
the hair because it is falling out.
AS a rule, don't wash the hair often
er than once month. Too frequent
washing makes it dry.
Don't use too much soap, borax or
soda when taxing a shampoo. Substi-
tute yolk of egg. If the hair is natural
1y oily, use only the white of the egg.
Don't fail to rinse with clear water
and to rub in little oil after sham
poo.
Don't rub the hair briskly with tow
els after washing it. There is danger
of breaking the long hairs. Absorb the
moisture carefully with warm towels.
Don't neglect daily massage of the
scalp with the tips of the fingers dipped
in cold water; or use a clean nail brush.
Don't fail to apply tonic to hair
and scalp at least once week.
Don't SINCE or clip the ends of the
hair. Don't use a coarse brush, but one
that has long, fine, unbleached and I'M
dyed bristles.
y. Don't buy cheap dressing comb 1t
pays to buy a good flexible tortoise
shell comb, even if you must do with
one dress the less during the year.
Don't wear the hair always in the
same style. A change of mode is bene-
fetal.
Don't tie the hair, or roll or twist it
in any way tightly. This strains the
roots of the hair, and is very injurious.
Don't use many hairpins. If each pin
is made to do its duty, and the hair is
arranged to fit the head, few pins will
be needed.

USES OF THE GAVEL.
FIremen Engaged in q
Discussion tu9ed by Paraia-
mentary Law.

It is noted by Southern Kansas pa
per that the chief of the local fire de-
partment has been presented with 8
gavel by admiring friends. To those
uniformed of the ways of the South
ern Kansas town, a gavel might seem
to be the most useless thing fire chief
could have in his possession, says the
Kansas City Journal. But observe the
process:
Most worthy chief" says one of the
firemen, coming slowly from below, ian
alarm of fire has been sounded"
1.-The brothers will come to ORDER"
announces the chief, giving at the same
time three distinct knocks with his
gavel. at has been brought to my at
tention that conflagration is in pro-
gress. What will you do with the mat
ter?"
Il move" says, a brother, that the
report be accepted and spread upon the
record and that we take the engine
and go to the fire."
ANY second?"
81 second the motion"
"Are you ready for the question:"
SIS that motion subject to amend
ment and debate?"
The chair holds that it is
"Then / offer as a substitute that we
go to the fire, and if need be, come back
for the engine"
"Mr. Chairman" l desire to offer an
amendment to the substitute. If we go
to the fire without the engine and find
that 1t is needed, we must Ill come back
to get it. My amendment is, Mr.. Chair
man, that committee be appointed
to inquire into this fire and report up
ON it,"
"The question is upon the amend
ment to the substitute. Are you ready
for the question:"
"Mr. Chairman" shouts newcomer,
in the back end of the hall, "as 1 was
dressing, my wife returned and said
the building burned down and the fire
was out. l move you, Mr.. Chairman.
to lay the whole matter on the table"
$50 ordered" said the chairman, at
ter the vote had been taken, with a
resounding whack of that gavel which
is such mystery to people who never
can understand.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

There are 3,S42 temperance societies
among school children in Belgium.
The anniversary Of the emancipa-
lion of 23,000,O00 Russian peasants,
liberated by Alexander II. in 1861, is to
he celebrated hereafter in the ortho-
dox churches by elaborate thanksgiv~
ing services instead of by single re-
QUEEN mass.
Edwin S. Robbins, manufacturer
and business man, who has manifold
interests to demand his attention, at
his home in Greystone, Conn, spends
every Sunday evening of his life in adj
dressing religious gatherings in the
particular city where his business
pursuits take him.
Many strange school Gust ON prevail
in China. The girls in that country
seldom go to school unless they are
children of very rich people. School
work begins before daylight, and after
studying their lessons aloud for two
hours the pupils recite them. They
then go home to breakfast, after
which they return and study again.
Yale has done away with her rule
requiring of men representing the col
lege in athletic, literary or musical
lines that they maintain a standing
1875 per cent. higher than that eXacted
from other students. Moreover, the
literary men will not be disqualified
for the literary organs of the college
by being under warning for low stand
ing.
There seems to be no end of trouble
growing out of the discussion of the
shortened course, and now that Yale
has so ordered its course that a man
may finish it in three years has given
rise to the report that three years
course has been adopted, which is not
at all true. One of the new courses at
Yale is on railroads, covering the finan-
cial, industrial and technical sides of
the subject.
Rev. j. w. Kimbrell, of Madison. Mo-,
is gentleman of resources. Bad roads
prevented him a few Sundays ago
from keeping his engagement at Por-
ter's chapel, one of the churches on
his itinerary. He bethought himself
that number of his parishioners had
telephones, so he moved an organ to
the Madison central" office, got a
choir and conducted a whole church
service by telephone, excepting the
taking up of the collection.
The railroad farm school," which
the University of Missouri has so sue
cessfully inaugurated by carrying the
school to those who could not come to
it, has attracted much attention all
over the country. Farmers in small
towns who cannot otherwise attend
farmers Institutes along the railroad
can go to the car and hear an inter-
esting series of lectures. besides hav-
ing the opportunity of viewing the dis
play carried on board. Specimens of
grasses are displayed, and also many
specimens of insects that are injurious
to plants and trees. Lectures are
given on diseases of farm animals, and
altogether the experiment has proved
very successful.

OctOraro Water Rights.

The Quarryville Sun in its last
issue contained the following addi-
tiOnal news concerning the pur-
chase of water rights along the Oc-
toraro, in Pennsylvania:
Further negotiations have been
effected in the land deal along the
Octoraro in Colerain township,
Messrs. Williams and Francis, re-
presenting a New Jersey syndicate
Supposedly in the interest of an
electric light company, probably Il
side issue of the great Wabash rail
road SYSTEM having met the own
ers and taken up their option,
making a cash payment of ten per
cent, of the purchase money. Deals
having been closed with the Herr
Brothers for the Puseyville mill
property, with Mrs, Joseph Beaver,
for her 16-acre tract and with the
Collins Brothers for their 26 acre
tract. They have also made appli-
cation for charter for the corpora
ton, to be known as "The Colerain
Water Company" The same par
ties have also applied for charters
for the "Providence" and Cones
toga" Water Companies, to carry
on business in the townships of the
same name aud for the Sadsburys,
over in Chester county.
Their deals are not confined to
one section only, for they have pur
chased frcm Robert j. McCrery, OF
Chrome, a tract of land along the
OctorarO creek at Kinks bridge.
The price paid is said to be $500.
Still farther south the land on
which the old tlintmill is located
and extending along the Octoraro
for some distance, at Lees bridge,
has been bought, 81 800 being paid.
Messrs. Williams and Francis,
representing the company, say it is
their intention to erect three large
dams near the Black Rock furnace
and Puseyville and operate cara
mel factory, phosphate factory and
electric light and power plant.
By purchasing the land at
various places along the Octoraro,
thereby acquiring the water rights
while it would give them abundant
power for manufacturing, it is
probably that some day before long
a railroad would follow the stream
The prosperous days of fifty years
ago in those sections may again
return.

TO COOK ASPARAGUS.
"A Few Suggestions Which May Prove
Acceptable to the Pro-
. gressive Cook.

1t is doubtful if a new way for cook
ing this delightful and succulent vege-
table is ever brought to light. We have
treated it to all sides of the fire, and
we have applied to it all kinds of
sauces, seasonings and flavorings that
ingenuity could suggest and a knowl-
edge of good things approve. But these
bits of information are more or less
in the possession of a comparatively
small number of people, says the Epi-
cure. The great and general run Of
cooks, and of diners, for that matter,
halt when you ask them to name
way for cooking asparagus outside of
boiling and baking, and throw up their
hands when you demand of them the
name of any sauce besides butter sauce
and white sauce that may be depended
on to give it the flip of variety.
They don't know that few drops of
lemon juice and few grains of cayenne
added to plain melted butter, to be
poured over boiled asparagus, lifts it
quite out of the commonplace into the
realm of excellently done things. Nor
w my MN" lhdO Al OlO VI L al an
added to this same melted butter sauce
for asparagus gives it foreign smack
that will quite redeem prosa1c din
ner.
Then cold asparagus tips may be
fried in butter, and this butter be en-
livened with paprika, which will pro-
vide dish different in every taste from
the boiled asparagus served with but
ter. And delicious way for serving
this fried asparagus is in croustades,
as a change from toast, although toast
and asparagus do seem to have a nat
ural affinity for each other. A suspi-
cion of onion flavor, too, does tone up
dish of asparagus successfully; while
chives and Spanish peppers, used jul
diciously in composing dressing for it,
figure very happily.
Baked asparagus is usually boiled
first, and then only the tender parts
of the stalks are baked. Sometimes
these are cut into inch lengths, and
sometimes left as long as they can be
with the hard part taken off. Mostly,
too, a bechamel sauce is the popular
one in which to encase these asparagus
tips before baking, and over the top
put grated cheese and crumbs, that
the proper browning may take place.
Now this is all very well. No one can
quarrel with bechamel sauce; it is gen.
tie and refined always. But it does
seem sometimes to be insipid, and es-
pecially so when anything so unobtru.
sive in flavor as asparagus is deco
rated with it. To remedy this tame
ness there may be used little anchovy
essence in the bechamel, OF a dash of
horseradish, or onion juice, or a few
capers-anything in fact, that you
have seen orheard of in connection with
this sauce when used for similar pur-
poses.
As for treating cold aspara gus, there
are innumerable ways. With just a
French dressing it is always in favor;
with French mustard added to the
dressing it is even more in vogue and
with mayonnaise, or tartar sauce, it
touches perfection. Then, again, lem
on juice and nothing more, save little
salt, rests well on cold asparagus, only
the vegetable must be chilled for all
its good points so served to be appa-
rent.

Ladies' Waist Bargains .
Warren sheaf., 1903-06-11

The DEVASTATING floods, fires, cy-
clones and other calamities, which
have visited different portions of
the United States during the past
few weeks, have caused our hearts
to beat with sympathy for those of
our fellow citizens who have suf-
fered loss in one way or another,
Millions of dollars worth OF prop
erty, thousands of homes and numer-
Gus lives have been lost. Though
these disasters are great, yet SO
vast is the territorial extent of the
United States, and so varied are it's
resources and unlimited it's ability
to relieve its own distress, that we
have come to look upon these calam-
tiles as incidents of merely local
significance. And these drawbacks,
instead OF discouraging the people,
everywhere has the effect to stir
them to greater determination.

Argyle Loses to Home Team.


Argyle could not stand the pace
set by Warren's batting and in
field work in Tuesdays game and
had to lose, much to the satisfaction
of local rooters. The visitors we're
never really in the game. They
tossed the ball for Warren to hit
and fumbled it that Warren might
score.
Argyle tried two pitchers but
they both Jared the same, the locals
hitting almost almost at will, MAX
ing a total of 18 hits for % bases.
Not man failed to hit.
Tiedt played way below from be-
hind the bat, having three passed
balls and two wild throws against
him.
Had the pitchers had perfect sup
port Argyle could not have won,
but the eleven errors that the visi-
tors made helped to swell the score.
The following tells the story:
