INLAND FISHERIES.
Rhode Islands Notable Exhibit vii Have Z
Place al the ST. Louis Fair.

One OF the notable exhibits from the
state OF Rhode Island at the Pan-Amerl-
can exposition at Buffalo was the exhibit
OF the commissioners Of inland fisheries.
The demonstration OF the work OF the
Rhode Island commission was unique
among the fisheries exhibits, both OF the
United State government and OF the re-
spective states. largely on account Of the
beautiful and effective method of mount
ing the specimens. as prepared by Pro-
fessor A. d. Mead Of the commission
The exhibit gave a comprehensive de-
monstration OF the various stages OF
growth and culture, the specimens OF lob
sters and the enemies OF the mollusks
being mounted in small glass frames and
suspended In transparent gelatine. The
exhibit attracted extraordinary attention
and the unqualified communication OF the
government experts and specialists gen
orally.

Care of the Hair.

For human hair, coal oil rubbed in every
night will prevent its falling out and make
it come in thick, provided the roots are
not destroyed Rub little vaseline in
the morning to bring back the natural oil.
This will soon produce a decided improve
ment.
Proper and constant care of the hair is
the most essential duty Of the woman who
desires to be well groomed The attention
which is given by up-to-date women now
TO their tresses Is one which requires pa
tienee, but no woman should begrudge the
labor spent on the proper care of her hair.
\ spoonful of ammonia added to basin
Of water used in washing it assists in keep
ing the hair light. Dark hair should be
dried in the shade, and not sit in the sun
shine as SO many do to dry it. 1t will
fade in streaks if she dries it too often in
the sun. You can keep it light, if you
wish to do so, by adding little boraX to
the wash-water
To massage and rub the scalp gently every
night before retiring is very helpful to the
scalp, and be very careful with your brush
es and comb-put plenty of pure borax
into warm rain water and wash them often,
50 as to disinfeet them-for they catch
germs and convey them to the scalp, hence
the great necessity of clean brushes.
