DRESS THE HAIR SIMPLY.

With the coming OF simple lines In
gowns and wraps, and the passing of
loppy effects, we may perhaps hope to
he relieved of the exaggerated styles
Of hair dressing that have so long pre-.
vailed.
Immense puffs and lunches Of hair
hanging down over one eyebrow, great
horns carried forward beyond the fore
head, altering the shape of the head to
grotesqueness, could never have been
thought beautiful.
In fact, there is something really vul-
gar and low bred about many of the
startling coiffures and almost every
one will rejoice to see them disappear.
The hats of the season demand plen-
ty Of soft tlufiiness in the manner Of
wearing the hair. but as all efforts are
more or less trig and closely confined,
so the seasons hats call for less elabor-
ate hair underneath them.

Grease spots must be removed by sol

not be changed by heat, the easiest
method of removal is to place white

spot, and then to stand hot iron on

Another effective measure is to cover
the spot with pulverized French chalk,

newed if necessary, always brushing

THEIR PROTESTATIONS.

The whole body of Viennese millin-
ers, as well as the artificial flowers
makers and Austrian feather manu-
facturcrs. have called Il monster meet
ing to protest again the recent action
of leaders of fashion in the country in
banishing ornaments, especially birds,
from their hats. The trade representa-
tives insist that this wave of renuncla-
ton is not due to any humanitarian
consideration, but it is mere freak of
fashion, and really threatens the very
existence of large numbers of skilled
workers who are on the verge of loss
of employment ut the most critical
time of the year. The manufacturers
hope by this agitation to reverse the
decree of fashion and turn the tide In
the old channels of ornamentatlon and
display.

A HEROIC PHYSICIAN.

\ deadly plague was raging in the
Guy of Msrsellles. The doctors could
do nothing, for very little was known
of the disease, owing to the danger
surrounding any inquiry into it. In
a council among themselves they came
to the conclusion that the corpse of n
victim must be dissected, but it would
be death to the operator, Upon this
being decided. celebrated physician,
one of their number, arose and de-
clared that for the safety of the coun-
try he would give himself up to the
task. He then Immediately left the
room, made his will and arranged his
affairs At daybreak on the following
morning he entered the house where
man had just died Of the plague.
Here he made complete examination
of the body, performed the necessary
operation and wrote down all he OBJ
served. When this was completed he
left the house, threw the notes he had
made into vinegar that they might not
carry the infection aud retired to a
lonely spot There he died within
twelve hours.--N. G.

A BRAVE PIONEER WOMAN.

a white man nearer than Temecula.
Surrounded by Indians, and the wild
animals that roamed through the
mountains, Mrs. Thomas saw life in
all Its primitive wildness, and met
with many exciting adventures. In
her gu, int and modest way she relates
one nights experience while Mr..
Thomas was away getting their annual
supply of groceries. They had driven
their y)ung cattle and calves into a
corral near enough to the cabin, as
they supposed, 10 protect them from
the depredations of the bears, but in
the night Mrs. Thomas was awakened
by terrible racket among the live
stock, and she knew the bears had
broken into the corral, and would like

LOOSEN THE BED CLOTHES.

When the chambermaid makes her
final rounds in the bedrooms for the
night, lighting the gas, turning down
the bed clothes with an inviting TRAN
gular turn, and removing the heavy
white spread and belilled pillow and
bolster tops, which are the glory of
the bed toilet by daylight, she has 9th

posted the pitcher Of drinking water,
with its tinkling cube of ice, on the
bedside table, where in old times pis-
tolls and ''nightcap' were once in or

and slippers, candlcstick and matches
or electrical substitute within reach,
and she has opened the window by low

inside blinds.
But all is not ready IL she has forgot

An invalid or old person is some
times made to feel like n prisoner when

takes some strength to pull out and
loosen the bed clothes, which have been
dragged tight and folded by vigor-

ed chambermaid is now expected to
loosen the clothes gently ut the sides,
leaving them well tucked in at the

THE NEW EARRING,

The explanation for the new style In
earrings is the change in the shoulder
line. In place of the Gibson square
shoulder the smart thing this season is
the droop of 1880. Anything that will
eXnggerate this effect is welcome. Pen
dant earrings accomplish this and also
make the round face look oval. The
ear has to be pierced to hold securely
the weight of the new elongated ear
ring. In this hole is placed the dla-
mond stud, and from this base hang
pendants of rubes, large, pear-shaped
pearls or pigeon-blood rubies. Some
very elaborate earrings have an addi-
tlonal dangle of small diamonds or any
stone that will add to the brilliancy OF
the trlnket.
The customers who desire uncommon
effects purchase the parti-colored ear
rings; from one ear will dangle big
black pearl and from the other will
dangle pink pearl.
The earring Of the Elizabethan and
Stuart periods is the modish one to-
day.
Very likely followers of extreme
fashion this season win adopt the style
of the single earring.
