Prevention Better than Cure.

If you wish to escape badness, avoid tight-fitting hats and collars, also close-ftting caps. unless these be of some porous material. The two for mer prevent a due supply of blood to the parts; hence the hair papillae are put, as it were, on short commons all the time the hats and collars are worn. All headgear which Is not porous should be ventilated at the top and sides to allow a free current of air. Never sit or stand with the top of the head near the gaslight or lampllght. The heat thrown out is apt to paralyze the scalp tissues. and dries up the hair itself. Don't wash the hair oftener than once a fortnight, when first rub In the yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinse out with warm water. into which has been thrown pinch of borax. Dry carefully and apply little pure olive oil. Beware of the common practice of dipping the comb in water when ar ranging the hair. It promotes decom- position and rancidity of the natural oil, and 80 leads to 'rotting." If the hair is naturally dry, apply a little olive oil occasionally.

Japanese Dentistry.

The Japanese dentist does not fright en his patient with an array of steel instruments. All his operations in tooth-drawing are performed by the thumb and forefnger of one hand. The skill necessary to do this is acquired only after long practice. but when once it is obtained, the operator is able to extract half dozen teeth in about thirty seconds without once removing his fingers from the patients mouth. The dentists education commences with the pulling out of plugs whivh have been pressed into soft wood; It ends with the drawing of hard pegs which have been driven into an oak plank with a heavy mallet.

A considerable number of ministers in various parts of the country are endeavoring to unify the sentiment of their congregations on the divorce question. A proportion of them recom mend that divorce shall not be granted for either desertion or cruelty. This might appear to be intended as an op- pression of innocent wives. Most peo- pie, whatever they may think about lax divorce laws. are not likely to see in this suggestion a moral or social betterment Is woman to be com pellel to continue to risk her life in the company of a brute? Or. if de- serted, must she continue to be sub ject at any time to the selfish whims of her unnatural husband, who would thus be able to claim legal authority over her ana their children. though failing to provide for either? The ad- vocates of this restricted divorce right may be correct in their opinion that cruelty and desertion are frequently professed or sufficiently actuated by NOiAoSAOh AOi tAC POSC Ol divorce in order to secure liberty to enter into new matrimonial ties. There may be some truth in this ayerment No legisla tion Is likely to prevent col fusion for the dissolution of the mar riage tie when grown tedious or in- tolerable to those who entered into 1t believing 1t dissoluble. But no leg islature will ever consent to refuse di- vorce in proved cases of either de- sertion or cruelty. The ministers would render better service to the object they have in view by promoting public opinion and legislation against the re- marriage of divorced persons. at least against the remarriage Of the guilty party. Statistics have repeatedly shown that more than three fourths of the divorces in the United States are secured for the purpose of immedi- ate remarriage. Were the divorce laws of the country unified upon basis of judicial separation in extreme cases, with denial to the guilty of the right to remarry, the morals of American so- ciety would be speedily improved and the rights of blameless wives and help less children would be better safe guarded.

Some Noted Names Pronounced.

Because there are no rules for the pronunciation of proper names, in numerable errors are made in this mat ter. Here follow the correct pronun- citations of the names of some persons of renown. A. T. Quiller-C Couch sounds the ou of his last syllable as the % Is sounded in the word root. Jerome K Jerome accents the first syllable of his last name; he pronounces II to rhyme with tear 'em. In the name of Robert Louis Stevenson the Louis is pro nounced as though 1t were spelled Lewis. Sir Walter Besant's last name has its first syllable accented, and rhymes with pleasant. The poet Rich ard Hovey's name has its first syllable sounded so as to rhyme with dove. The name of Andrew Carnegie is ac- cented on the second syllable; it should be pronounced as though it were spell. ed Car-nay-gie.

CharIie,a Ride,

It was a bright, crisp winter morn ing, and Charlie Mason felt full of life. So he took his sled and went up the road to the big hill" to slide.
 The road was hard and smooth, and he had fine time with his new sled. He would walk briskly up the long hill, and then come down rushing through the air like a train of cars.
 In a short time he grew tired of clmbing the hill. and started for home. Just then his brother Hugh came along. riding on their old horse, Fan ny.
 Wait a minute, Hugh" cried Char lie: T want a ride"
 How can you ride? There isn't toom for two up here" returned Hugh.

MANNERS IN PUBLIC.
Things that Weaken Mans Gallant
 Admiration of Women

The consequences of wOman's adopting customs unbecomlng to her self are manifold, says NJ. E. W. Sher- wood in Success. In the first place she strikes at the most sacred thing In the universe. mans love and rever- ence for women. She strikes at that primeval instinct, which Is that the strong should protect the weak; that the lover should seek the maid, and that he should kiss whilst she holds the cheek. Who could in rhe fash iOnable circles of to-day have inspired Shakespeare to create Viola? or else have made fair Rosalind say, when fainting. T have no doublet and hose in my disposition" A young girl of to-day would be apt to call for sweet CT, and, alas. would bet In the race course language of Saratoga instead of saying, with Jessica charming crea- ture: T am never merry when I hear sweet music" or some such refined remark. It would seem sometimes as if that primeval Eve had been eradi- cated, and that Catherine of Russia. Nell Gwynne and less illustrious exam pies had ben installed In her place. A very clever literary artist of to-day. who has written in French of Eve Vie torieuse, has painted. with most con- summate skill. the beautiful young American woman in Paris, her who, partly spoiled by her indulgent and most chiyalrous American husband (who thinks whatever she does is right. Is not rightly comprehended in the old world. where her mannerisms are misunderstood.
 True delicacy exhibits Itself most significantly In little things; in the at
 itude, the way of standing and of sit ting down. Watch a famous dancer and see how well, how modestly she sits down. Fanny Ellsler said she gave five years study to the art of sit. ting down gracefully. It Is great thing to do little thing we'll, and we may be sure that the art of taking a seat like a lady" Is not too much studied by women in public places. AS a young woman should remember as she enters a crowded theater, that she should produce murmur of satis faction from her modest, shrinking beauty, not a congratulatory gurgle of pleasure at her air of impudence and independence.

Qualified to Travel.

In his Confessions of Caricatur. ist," Harry Furniss tells the following story of his brother-in- law, a man who had spent his life in London:
 He was also an inveterate and clever story teller, and of course occasionally made slip, as, for instance. on railway journey to Brighton once. when he found himself alone with a stranger. The stranger. in conversa- ton, happened to ask my relative cas- ually, If he were fond of travelling.
 "Traveling? should rather think so," he replied. airily; and. imagining he was impressing some one who was something in the city" he continued: Yes, sir, I'm a pretty experienced traveller. Been mostly round the world and all that kind of thing. you know. and had my share of adventures. can tell you"
 After bit he gained more confi- dence and launched Into details giving the stranger the benefit of his expe- rience. Why, sir, you read in books that hunters of big game, such as ti- gers, watch their eyes. Not bit of 1t. What you have to do is to watch the tail. That's the thing! It mesmer- izes the animal, so to speak, and you have him at your mercy
 On arriving at the hotel he found that his travelling companion had just signed his name in the visitors book. It was Richard F. Burton-one of the greatest travellers of the age. My brother-in law hastened to apologize to Sir Richard for his absurd tales. He had no idea, of course, to whom he was retailing his yarns.
 Burton laughed. My dear sir, not T word, please. was more entertained than can tell you. You might have traveled-you lie so well.'

Business by Mail.

The world is jsut beginning to realize the advantages and economies of doing business by mail. When these things are fully understood there will be de- mand for better facilities for the re- mission of money than now exist, and 1t will be most emphatic. The post check system is evidence of such a de mand. It provides perfectly safe. and economical plan of sending money through the mails at a minimum cost to the sender; and he can hardly lose except by his own negligence. The plan has been before the public for some time and no valid objections have been found. An innovation that promises so much at so little expense should be given a trial.

SchooIboys and the Oue.n,

Two little schoolboys in Holland re- gently sent Queen Wilhelmina a quaint little letter, which, translated. says Leslie's Weekly. reads: Dear Queen Do. please. say that our teacher is not to be sent away. She Is so good to us, and we love her so much, and really she hasn't done anything. Fath- CT says you are powerful and good. and that you even pardon murderers. because you wish bad people to be- come good again" Queen Wilhelmina sent a reply promising that the case of the teacher threatened with dismis sal should be investigated.

The decay of manners in this day, 80 much bemoaned. may. after all, be but a part of the process of social eyo- lution. The individual and individual traits are losing identity in the mass. In the old days when strangers were rarely met with. friends were seen but seldom and visits were rare and for nal affairs. involving elaborate prepa- rations and frequently long journeys on horseback or by coach. 1t was quite natural that more fuss should be made, that more elaborate hospitality should be extended, that more nice things should be said and done in a nicer way, than now, when We momentarily bump into one another at any time by telephone or telegraph or fast mail, may make visits at easy convenience in comfortable cars and are forced to look upon social intercourse not as rare. costly and grandly formal. but rather as overdone. Times have changed and custom and manners necessarily have changed with them. Some old customs still finger under conditions that render them meaning less. New courtesies have been born that we do not as yet fully appreciate. It is to be wished that more men and women might give more thought and care to the rights of others. It mat ters little what ones manners may be who has considerate regard for other peoples comfort. Kind words spoken when in every day clothes are worth more than all the fine compliments ever uttered in full dress. Modern manners are the little courtesies of every day. They are no longer some thing to be put on only with ones best clothes and to be put away in a closet with them.

Be sides, they are sturdy young folks. and are perfectly willing to put up with inconyenienees. For these reasons they are just the people to enjoy walking in the country. and the practice begun in childhood is kept up during life.

 Hugh stopped the horse. and Charlie drew his sled close to Fanny's heels Then he got on the sled, and, taking hold of the horses tall, told Hugh that he might drive on.
