WAYS A MISTAKE.
Women viii Never Win Alteration
from Men By Adopting
Them

Women are never more largely and
gorgeously mistaken than wnen they
think that they maze q winning with
men by trying to make mutation men
OF themselves. The tallacy that men
pine for women to be little brothers &c
them has gained ground Of late and
found many adherents among women
who AFFECT masculine sports, discuss
risQue subjects, and endeaYor to wips
out the sex line. Never was greater
folly. II is woman's unlikeness to man,
the difference of her point Of view, thar
makes al her charms and lends pi-
Quancy to her society. II a man wanted
the ideas OF another man on a subject,
he would seek one who had been born
TO the masculine estate, not one who
has merely understudied the role.
Men like what We call the old-fash-
Toned virtues in women, says the Chi
cago Tribune. II is the fashion now fol-
women to be blase and cynical, but there
is no man so hardened that he does not
shudder away from a hard woman. He
may never put his foot inside Of q
church, but he wants a woman to be
pious. He may disbelieve in everything
in heaven and earth. but he wants
woman to have a childlike faith in every
thing, and no matter how much he laughs
at her for her credulity, he loves her the
better for it. He may judge the world
mercilessly, but he wants a woman TO
be full of tender and unreasoning SYM
patty and pity. No man ever loved a
woman who did not cry. or who was not
tender to little children. or who would not
give to a beggar and investigate his
needs afterwards. The girl who thinks
it smart to sneer at domesticity and de-
clares that she will never debase her tai
ents by learning to cook or sew, who
hates children and mocks at religion, no
matter how brilliant or beautiful she is,
does not attract men.

DRYING THE HAIR IN THE SUN.

/
bath. and nothing is so comforting or
less trouble.
Usually the little housekeeper is too
poor or too frugal TO patronize the hair
dresser, or to indulge in a shampoo at a
dollar OF half dollar at one of the hair
dressing establishments. And so, in an
irregular. on hand sort of way, she
washes" her hair when it is dirty" or
sticky" For this wash" she uses any
soap that may happen TO be about the
house, rinses quickly and dries her hair
over the radiator. Such treatment will
kill the finest hair in Q few years.
You should decide upon a regular in
terval for shampOOing your hair, and
you should shampoo il. If you have
very dry hair, do not wash it oftener
than every three weeks, and you might
let it go for four weeks with prudence.
II your hair is oily you may indulge in
q shampoo every two weeks, but not
oftener. Some girls, during the rage
for fluffy hair, were in the habit Of wash
ing their hair, once week or oftener,
a process which took all the natural life
and oil out Of the finest locks and left
them dry, hard, dead, and ready TO fall
out at the first sign Of i'll health. Use
for your shampoo good tar soap or q
plain CASTLE soap-nOthing else except
warm water. Do not make the bath
too hot, and do not put ammonia in it
To attempt to burn your hair out in this
way is a fatal mistake. Scrub thorough
ly, rubbing the scalp well and washing
the hair as you would a piece Of cloth.
Above all, rinse the hair thoroughly in
warm water, and be sure that every
particle of the soap is removed, so that
the pores are free TO breathe. Dry the
hair in the air and the sun. Fan it, II
you like, and rub it with the towel, but
avoid the life-killing, hot air from the
radiator or the gas stove, If you do not
want TO rot and ruin the best part OF your
locks.
Nearly half Of your life is spent in
bed, and thus nearly half Of your life
your hair is in tight pigtails and curl
papers. This Is unfortunate for many
reasons. First Of all, It keeps the scalp
from the air and Is Lot good for the
roots Of the hair. Secondly, it would
drive the most devoted man to the other
woman or the uttermost parts Of the
earth. Take quite as much pains as
you would for a party. Do not attempt
to put it up eonventionally, but dress 1t
picturesquely. One Of the prettiest night
arrangements is the Marguerite fashion
of two plaits down the back, loosely
woven and gracefully parted.

KITCHEN DoN'Ts.

Don't litter up the kitchen when
getting a meal, because 1t will take
hours to clean up after the meal Is
over.
Don't put q greasy spoon on the
table. II leaves a stain which re-
quires time to erase. Put 1t in q
saucer.
Don't crumple up your dish towels.
Rinse and hang them in the sun
Don't pour boiling water over china
packed In a pan. II will crack by the
sudden contraction and expansion
Don't black q stove while 1t Il hot
It takes more backing and less polish
Don't put damp towels and napkins
in the hamper. Dry them first or they
will mildRw.
Don't use knives for seraping the
table and pots
Don't pour boiling water and soap
on greasy spots. MoIsten the spots
first with q cold saturated solution Of
soda, then scrub them with the grain
Of the wood, using cold soapsudS.
Don't put egg dishes into hot water
1t makes the egg adhere. Soak the
dishes first In cold water.
Don't put tin pans on the stove to
dry. They become heated. the solder
loosens and they soon leak.

with any proposition to amend the
present tariff laws. He says he wants
a bill of particulars brought in to show
wherein the present law works any in
Justice to the country. The other day
he called at the white house and had
talk with President Roosevelt on the
subject. Much as these two Aen differ
in their tariff views, they are very
warm friends and all their conferences
are characterized by good nature.
The president asked Gen GrosVenor
If he had studied the tariff schedules
and found any on which the duties
could be lowered. The general said
that he had found just one. In looking
over the law he found that there was
duty Of one dollar ton on basic Stag.
He said he did not know what basic
Stag was until he looked it up and
found that II was used as q fertilizer.
AS 1t is the policy to admit all ferti-
lizers. anything calculated to increase
the productiveness of the farmers land
free Of cost, he thought this one dollar
a ton duty might be taken on basic
Stag.
Gen. Grosvenor's other nickname In
the house is" Old Fggers." He earned
this by predicting very closely the ma
jority the republicans would have In
the Fifty-fourth congress when they
came back into power. He followed
this up with very close predictions OF
the states which Mr.. Mckinley carried
in 1896 and again in 1900.

CARING FOR THE HAIR.
II Done systematically It Il by No
Means q Laborious Task for
the Woman.

When you have finished your house
work and are ready to sit down at your
sewing or darning, or perhaps to scan
the magazine, you very naturally do
not want to waste the precious and
pleasant moments Of the day struggling
over your appearance. You haven't time
for everything, you argue, and you
must get the mending done or you must
read and improve your mind q little,
or you must finish a piece Of fancy
work. Well, do it; do any or all Of the
things you want to do or ought to do.
but first choose a sunny corner, BY an
open window, and, sitting there with
the sunlight fltering in on your back,
let down your locks to the winds. Let
them blow and play about your shout
ders. Give them chance at the air and
sunlight, just as you would give your
flowers that chance to breathe and to
draw in life. The divine Sarah Bern
hardt never confines her locks when
she is in private. All day long when
she is at home they fly to the sun and
winds and are untouched by a hairpin
OF ribbon. That is why, even as grand
mother, she still has golden tresses in
stead Of iron gray wisps Of hair.
Nothing is so good for the scalp and
the hair itself as a daily sun and air

Ronntn for Porcupines.

The governor and council Of Maine
are very busy preparing vouchers re-
sulting from the enactment Of the
porcupine bounty law for presentation
to the next legislature. This will be
one Of the first bills before the coming
session, and will probably result In
the immediate repeal Of the act At
the last session an act was passed pro-
viding for an appropriation Of $500 to
be paid az q bounty on porcupiRes, Is
cents being paid on every animal
killed. The returns to the state show
that a total Of $1,000 porcupines have
been killed In the year OF 1903, and the
appropriation has been exceeded by
S1I,5OO.

Told nv Truthful James.

A more or less truthful Australian
relates that he put an unusually large
porcelain egg in the nest Of a hen and
found that the next eggs she laid were
of increased size. Then he put q goose
egg in the nest. The hen laid an egg
lust as large. He was 50 pleased with
the scheme that he put a whitewashed
football in the nest When he went
the next time to search for eggs he
found one as big as q football, but no
hen in sight. Securing the egg, he
saw engraved on It, by hen protog-
raphy, these words: I'm no ostrich,
but I'VE done my best" Later he
found the hen inside the egg.

 A fair-sized audience witnessed the initial performance of Natures Noble men," the second bill of the week, by the Heisman Stock Company at the Pickett Springs Casino last night.
 The leading male part. Jim Radburn, was not at all suited to the personality and ability of MT Heisman and he did not appear to advantage In the role. The part of Travers, a desperado. en- acted by Joseph J. Winter, was almost funny. MT Winter was entirely out of his sphere of ability and the part fell flat.
