Answers to Correspondents.

Susan.-Try this way of washing
your hair, if you take cold easily. 1t
is also recommended for very thick
hair. Comb carefully and braid into
three braids in front, and two very
loose ones at the back. Now, with
tooth brush dipped into hot water and
shaken out rub upon piece OF nice
toilet soap, and then brush the scalp,
keeping the hair as dry as possible
Go all over the scalp. Then with a
wash rag dipped into clean hot water
and wrapped around the first finger
remove all the lather. Next unbraid
one braid at time, shake out and
wipe off with wash rag, wrung dry,
pulling cloth down over strand at
time Dry in the sun.
Mabel-Never use knife on cornS.
Sandpaper rather coarse is the best
possible thing. If your soft corn has
not the skin broken apply Foote's
corn salve, one of the best and safest
on the market.
Mrs. GOing-There'S a new mater
ial, a kind of watered poplin, which is
perfectly beautiful and would make
you a lovely gown for visiting. But
why not wait until you get east to
have it made. However, ii you do not
want to spend time at the dressmak-
ers while off on your trip send me
stamped envelope for special letter,
recommending a dressmaker in Seat
tie
X. Y. Z.-Never admit to anyone
that you feel sighted, not even the
members of your own family. Never
let anyone know such thing possible.
Ella E.-Lemon juice will make I'M
painted boards like snow after a
scrubbing with sapolio and ammonia,

The Bclgial.: have long been ac-
customcd to horse meat is food, but
of late importations of the animals,
mainly from England, have shown
so many that were emaciated, weak
and obviously unfit for food that
the superior council of agriculture
has recommended that such impofta-
tons shall cease or that broken
down horses, unfit for work, shall be
classified as cattle, in which case the
high duty will keep them out. The
measure has not yet been adopted,
however, owing to the difficulty in
finding a substitute for horse meat,
which is in many cases the only kind
which the poorer classes are able to
afford.

The mile post marks three-score-and-
The time allotted unto men.
Adown the vista of the years,
The history, made of joys and tears,
Records two lives in wedlock bound,
Records the path where joy is found.
No lannon's roar, no martial tread
No battlefield with valor's dead
Heaped on the Nations verdant strand,
A tear blot on glorious land.
From vain ambitions siren sway
Their sainted ears were turned away,
To love their friends, toserve their God,
With meekness, they this path have trod.
Not sordid gold hath found spot,
Nor love of wealth hath been their lot
To chill and blight, and to mould,
The higher impulse of the soul.
Cast in the humber walks of life,
Strangers alike to greed and strife,
They journeyed on to ripe old age
Without stain on Memory's page.
The seed they sowed with lavish hand,
Of love and friendship DER the land,
Are blooming now at eventide,
Garlands of love on every side.
Enjoy the harvest, sacred pair,
Loves richest perfume freights the air,
While friendships arm around you cling
To offer all that love can bring.
You stand upon the shore of time,
Soon you will sail into cline,
Where you will lay life's burden down,
And for your cross, receive a crown.
o may the sunset of your lives
Linger long in cloudless skies,
And in the calmest, serenest even,
Sail your craft from earth to heaven.
Aubrey.
