FADs IN CARE or HAIR.
Dressers Find That Custome rs Pos
sess Peculiar Mixture of Reck-
lessness and Superstition.

Recklessness and old fashioned sup
erstition in peculiar mixture are shown
in the different fads and fancies wom-
en- follow in caringsfor the hair. Tho
gasoline or "dry shampoo" of late the
fashionable cause of numerous explos-
ions in Paris, is now frequently but
vainly requested at the Chicago hair
dressers, says the Tribune.
1t is asked for by the woman who is
In q hurry, by the one who doesn't want
the wave taken out of her tresses, by
she who is afraid CT taking cold, and by
the white haired woman who approves
Of the peculiar ana beautiful blue white
tone and silky s~oftness which every pro-
fessional hairdresser admits this pro-
cess gives to gray locks.
In contrast to this there is a Chicago
establishment especially devoted 10
clipping, singing, and such processes
where fashionable customers come in
great numbers at the new of the moon.
This is at the request of the proprietor,
who has imbued her customers with the
belief that the oils and coloring matter
flow upward at this time, whereas they
would go in the opposite direction and
Gevitalize the hair il it were clipped
during any other time of the month.

noncombatants in Liaoyang. 1t relates
that while the Russians were holding
the defense works close to the walls of
Liaoyang they prohibited the removal
of noncombatants from the city, and
consequently many were killed OF

The Christmas Spirit.

It is the desire and effort to con.
tribute to the happiness of others that
makes Christmas the most delightful
of all our holidays. Children at first,
perhaps, think most Of the gifts that
they may receive, but every wise par.
'ent teaches the child to be givcr as
well as a receiver, and to find the
deeper joy OF the Christmas time in
doing something for the pleasure Of
some one else, The maxim, 1T is
more blessed to give than to receive
is one Of those beautiful statements
that is easy to approve, but one never
knows how true it Is until one finds 1t
verified in experience. We often make
the mistake Of thinking that giving
consists in the bestowal of some ma.
terial thing, But it really consists in
devotion to another of what we have;
it may be money, or time, or skill, OF
thoughtfulness, or patience. There Is
no one 50 poor that he cannot give
another something. That is the real
Joy Of Christmas time. II we carried
the Christmas spirit into all the days
Of the year we would make life in
fnitely sweeter and happier.

Sun Worshlpers' Christmas.

The United States Bureau OF Ethnol'
ogy has been making a special study
Of Christmas in America, and one sur
prising fact ascertaned is that many
of the aboriginal tribes on that con-
tinent, long before Columbus landed,
were accustomed to celebrate festivals
corresponding to that Of Yuletide. In
deed, they pursue the practice even to
the present day, and among the Mokl
indians Of Arizona there is much mer'
ry mumming at or about December rs,
with exchange Of gifts and masquerade
ing by persons who are got up in pic.
turesque costumes to represent super
natural beings. The st. Nicholas OF
the Moki is the Sun god, and their
Christmas festival Is to celebrate thgg
beginning Of his return northward
from the Land Of Shadows that is
supposed to be located in the far
South.
On the top Of the highest building
In the town the priest OF the Sun
stands and looks toward the South

mountain upifts its rocky mass out of

is prolonged in the Eldon Meso and
by series Of foothills and between
the end Of the Mesa and the second
series of hills there is a peculiar
notch. In this notch is supposed to be
the Sun house the place where the
Sun god has his home. When the
solar orb sinks at nightfall into that
notch it has reached Its most distant
point on the horizon and the olst day
Of December has arrived. Formal no.
tice Of the fact is given by the Sun
priest and announcement is made Of
a general rejoicing. Various divinities
