THE HAIR AND THE SCALP.
To Take Good Care of Them Should
Be the Aim of Every Woman,
Old and Young.

Too much cannot be said against
the practice Of dyeing ones hair. 1t
is never satisfactory, and, once be
gun, it must be kept up, as the hair
lengthens from the roots. and the nat
ural color will inevitably show itself
there. Then, too, the dye will fade more
or less. and generally the hair will be
rendered stiff and harsh-feeling from
its use, 10 say nothing of the disagree
able odor which many dyes carry with
them.
1t is much better TO give the hair
good care in the matter OF dressing
brushing and massaging the scalp.
and let il color TO suit itself. No one
in bad health can have as nice hair as
the one who has no ailment Some
diseases affect the hair more disas-
trously than others, and when trying TO
improve the hair one must also try TO
improve the general health.
The use Of hard water is also to be
avoided, and care must be taken in
the use OF the various drugs recon-
mended for shampooing. 1t is not
necessary 10 wash the hair every day,
or ordinarily oftener than once a
week. while in some cases once a month
is too often. When washing is done. the
hair should be thoroughly dried before
being done up" and in many cases the
scalp alone should be shampooed. wet
ting the hair itself as little as possible.
There are dry shampoos, as well as wet
ones, and their tonic effect is quite as
valuable. One of the best is to rub
fine table salt into the hair close TO the
scalp, and then brush 1t out.
A simple tonic which has been used
with good effect TO retard the COM
ing OF gray hair, arrest the falling and
stimulate the new growth. is made OF
green tea and fresh dried sage. two
ounces of each, put into an iron pot and
three quarts of boiling water is to be
poured onto il; cover closely and let
simmer until reduced one-third; take
on the fire and let stand in the iron
pot for "A hours; strain and bottle for use.
Wet the scalp thoroughly with this To-
ton every night. applying early enough
so as TO allow of drying before going
TO bed. as the liquid will stain the pill
low-slip. Thoroughly brushing with
good brush will benefit.-The Com
moner.

CARE FOR ORIENTAL RUGS.

or semi-annual bath. The colors made
of vegetable dyes cannot fade. and the
process of washing only improves the
texture OF the wool Even a new rug
is washed by the Turkish woman TO
better bring out the luster of the ma
terial.
In the orient these rugs are cleaned
entirely by shaking and washing, but
are never beaten. When beating is
necessary it should be done on the
face side, as there is danger when
beating on the wrong side Of breaking
the threads. The best plan is to Law
right side up on the grass and to beat
thoroughly with light rattan beaters
After the dust is taken or beaten
out small rugs can be put in tubs Of
plain cold water. Then the surface
may be gone over with a brush and
sandsoap, always being sure TO rub
with the warp. Large rugs can have
the garden hose turned on them with
wonderful cleansing effect. after which
they should be dried in the sun.
In winter an excellent plan is To
sweep them on the snow, scattering it
over them and sweeping it off again
several times, always working with
the threads. The sweeper should al

This process Of cleaning is much
safer for these rugs than sending them
10 the steam cleaners, where the
threads are in danger of being snapped
by the rapidly turning machinery.
