THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many May See hut II Takes Genius "a
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said There must be power in
that steam that 1t can lift such q
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded II as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the cause" OF Dandruf, Fall

has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots Of human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the

is no need for us to err greatly to
err, for instance, as did the new writ

This waitress was willing, but In
experienced. The first day all went
well. The second day, having devel
oped a good deal of faith in her, my
friend gave dinner party.
'She was, it seems, little short Of
forks. After each course the waitres.

American Women Design.

1t may be news to many, and news
of a pleasant sort, that much of the
designing now made use of In for
e,gn china manufactures is done d;
American women. The foreign makers
of table china from France, German~
etc, have agents in New York a.
the time whose duty 1t is to bug
china designs made by American won-
en-. They buy single plate, cup or
pitcher, or an entire set of dishes, and
take 1t back to their own factories.
From these designs thousands of sets
IF dishes are made and sent to this
country, where they are sold with all
the eclat of being imported goods.
At first glance, this would suggest q
great advance in American decorative
art. since 1t would seem to indicate
that the French markets recognize
American superiority in this branch oil
art but on thinking 1t over one can
not help wondering whether 1t Is not
a shrewd scheme of the French manu-
facturers to get an inside line on
American taste. Probably their OWL
designs have been found to be toe
simple and correct for our more bour'
geoise taste.

BEAUTY NOTES.

Onions are almost the best nervine
known. They are most useful in
cases of nervous prostration, and will
greatly assist in toning up the sys-
tenn. They are useful in all cases OF
coughs, colds, influenza, scurvy and
kindred complaints. Eaten every
other day, they soon have a whitening
and clearing effect on the complexion.
The teeth should be brushed of
after each meal. If the gums bleed,
do not be frightened; it often does
them good. Never touch the teeth
with q pin or any metal. Draw a
silken thread between them to re
move particles of food; or. if that will
not do, use a wooden toothpick. Il
you clean your teeth night and morn
ing, also after a meat meal, you vii
not only preserve them, but always
have q fresh mouth and sweet breath

THE APPROVED FALL HAT.
Like That Of the Summer It Is Perched
High on the Head by
Bandeau.

The poise of the hat again this sea.
son is of special Importance. The new
est models are so placed in the head
that In many instances they seem alb
surG. These turn up at the back with
the most exaggerated flares and tip
over the nose with stingy front brims,
says the Milliner.
These high back effects, with the ex-
ceptior of the turban, is peculiar to
them all. In many cases on the i'm
uorted models the front brim measures
two or two and half inches in width.
The sides run about five and the back
run into seven and ten inches.
This effect is exaggerated by the
nigh bandeaus ari the arrangement oi
feathers, ribbons and flowers.
The equilibrium of the new hats Is
given by the bandeau, and in the ma
iority of these this bandeau extends
all the way round the head size.
The bandeau has become so neces-
sary part of the new frames thai
these are manufactured in all shapes
and may be had from any dealer. Thi:
is a great labor saving to the miliiner
Some of the Paris patterns are set OF
such high bandeaus that they arr

angles. Full of color and of such sauc!
makeup, it is not likely that they viii
