LIFE AND DEATH.

% ne uleu TOT MS IalIn. mat is nne-
More than most of us do.
But, say, can you add to that line
That he lived for it, too?
In his death he bore witness at last
AS martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days of his youth?
1t is easy to die. Men have died
For a wish or a whim-
From bravado or passion or pride,
Was it harder for him?
But to live-every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with
doubt
And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then Wen talk of the life that he lived.
Never mind how he died.

Scalp massage is the secret of keep
ing the scalp and the hair healthy. it
is easily done, and not great tax
either on time or patience. The hair
producing scalp is loosely attached to
the underlying skull, as any one can
prove with the fingers. When the scalp
becomes adherent to the bones under
meath, and will not move easily, then
the hair will fall, and the healthiness
of the hair follicles will become inn
paired. Therefore, one should have
two ends in view-that of keeping the
scalp perfectly loose and flexible upon
it's supporting framework, the skull,
and that of promoting the flow of blood
to the roots, so that the hair folhcles
will be properly nourished and the oil?
keep the hair from growing dry and
brittle. In order to do trih only three
movements of both hands in concert are
necessary. Before dressing the hair
and when taking it down at night
loosen it by giving the ends of it two
or three light shakes; place the tips of
the fingers of both hands at the juno
ture of the head and the forehead, and
then work them with a circular motion
gently but firmly toward an imagin-
airy center at the top Of the head. At
each turn of the fingers let them work
lightly on the surface and then deep
ly. The first motion is addressed to
the hair follicles themselves, the next
to make it soft, yielding and flexible.
The second movement is made by
placing the tips of the fingers so that
the forefingers of each hand will meet
at the spot where the last massage left
off. This will bring the fingers of each
hand over an ear at the juncture of
the hair with the skin. In the same
manner as before, they should work
over the hair roots with light and deep
massage until the finger tips meet at
the same center at the top. For the
third movement of scalp massage the
fingers of each hand, one placed so as
to meet at the back of the neck where
the hair begins, and describing the
same motions as before they work
themselves upward to the center. In
this manner the entire scalp in less
than five minutes receives a thorough
stimulation. The hair responds at once
and will be found to be full of life and
electricity where before it was lifeles'
and dull. 1t also will make the whole
head feel lighter and better. This
manner of caring for the hair cannot
be too highly recommended; it easily
and quickly is done, and will keep the
scalp healthy and prevent the hail
from falling.

Mamma, rs got a stomach ache,
said Nellie. 6 years old.
That's because you've been without
lunch. It's because your stomach is
empty. You would feel better If you
had something in it,"
That afternoon the pastor called, anC
in the course of conversation remark
ed that he had been suffering all da!
with the headache.
That's because it is empty" saiC
Nellie. You'd feel much better If yol

Sometimes it seems to me that al
absorbing interest is a mighty gooC
outlet for human weaknesses, an,
again have the feeling that the fad
dist has no right to the privilege h,
takes Of boring his friends. The re
membrance of long evening spent II
polite attention to a collection Of Dug
will linger in my memory for year
to come. And who of us has not a
some time of his life listened with lon
suffering where no escape was possibl
to the lobbyist exploiting his lates
theory?
OF course, there is a great differenc
of opinion as to what a fad is, for new
er will its possessOr-or, rather, tn
person 1t possesses, for that is what
amounts to-admit that his variet
should come under that head. Stll
outsiders can instinctively classify
ana unsympathetically look on. TheI
