PROPER METHODS OF
 CARING FOR THE HAIR.
o~>~>~>~>>~>

A brilliant and famous bachelor jour nalist wrote not long ago that 1t was to be hoped the time would come when all women would wear short hair. This was because of sanitary and hygienic reasons. Another famous man, a wld- over this, has said many times that if only he could have his way he would have a law passed that women be com pelled to wear short hair. He was sen sitive of nerve and the sight of women's loose long hairs upon blankets, upon his garuaents upon floors and elsewhere the sight of disgusting little wads of comb ings here, there and everywhere, had so sickened him in the course of a long life that he had become morbid on the subject
 And yet was he morbid? A loose long hair, a wad of combings. a comb or brush in which the combings have been left is a sickening object. and we may as we'll come out plainly and say so. It is enough to turn a fastidious man away from a woman forever. The woman or girl who throws a loose hair upon the floor Is not neat. The neat woman burns it at once or puts it away where 1t will never of fend more It Is not neat even to throw long hair out of the window into the street. The wind will catch it up, 1t will cling to some ones garments, and heaven knows where it will land before it is destroyedS The blankets in hotels and sleeping cars are enough to give one nightmare-in cars because of the untidy women who have slept under them. in hotels often because of untidy chamber maids. One can hardly write condemna- tion too sever of this unspeakable care lessness
 If you find a loose. snaky hair lying around anywhere, your own or another's, make an end of 1t then and there Put your combings in a paper bag or covered receptacle where no human eye will ever behold them. then at intervals burn them to ashes. Each summer go to a bath ing place by the sea, for I am fond of salt water swimming. At the pool for women female creatures come out of their dressing rooms, comb their hair and throw the punches of combings upon the narrow slip of floor above the pool. "A pun of wind blows them into the water, and you must ac- tually come in contact with them while

 Thick hair Is beautiful, but extremely long hair say four to six feet, is a bur den to its wearer. It heats the head. it weighs it down, it causes headache and nervous irritation. It Is serious oues- tion whether. on account of d woman's health her hair should ever be allowed to grow below tho waist. Hair of a length to be arranged in becoming way is quite long enough, without having poor girl handicapped with weight like that borne by a Flathead Indian. For health and comfort of course, the ideal are the short locks clustering prettily around the head. Women who are strong minded enough to wear their hair thus cannot say enough in praise of the comfort and convenience of 1t.
 Long hair ought to be treated so that it will be least harmful It should be worn united and unpinned as often as possi- ble to let the air get freely to the scalp The more air and sun the roots of the hair can get the thicker the growth wil' be. For this reason women should go bareheaded outdoors as much as they possibly can. It is said that living out doors bareheaded, day after day, month after month, will in time make hair grow even upon bald crown. Certain it is that 1t will benefit the hair amazingly Heads ought to be washed thoroughly a least twice month. lest the hair become gummy and smell bad. Such hair is hor rtbly unpleasant. Then the locks should be carefully dried in the sun if possible In cold weather one may sit in sunny window. Rinsing the head in cold water after the hair is washed will prevent taking cold. If the hair is kept clean and sun and air are allowed freely to get to the scalp the flow of the natural oil will be so stimulated that no other oil or application will be needed. There Is quite too much dabbing of unguents on the hair Kneading the scalp with the finger tips till it moves loosely and freely over the skull is an excellent massage for the roots of the hair.
 After the roots of hair are absolutely dead nothing will make them grow again. A mixture of quinine and whiskey is a good stimulant to weak hair roots. Any thing containing cantharides is to be summed.

 both of which have large and beautitully

 where the business men congregate at tha time for sitsta. and in the cool parlors conduct much of their business.
 The architecture of the towns Is similar to that of all Spanish-American cities' Every city is divided into plazas, and or the edge of every plaza Is large church. These churches are built of brick ano stone. They are usually very large, ana the open plaza in front of them gives pet- ter views of their architectural oeautles than is afforded by the methods employed in Northern cities, where, as a rule the only view that can be obtained or the churches Is a slanting one from up or down the street
 There was reason for ouliding these churches so beyond the mercy estneuc one of giving A good view of their oeau- lies. They have always been the hareors of refuge for the citizens in case of war or the arrival of freebooters in the earlier Savs of the isthmus.
