THAT was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit OF

humorous and pathetic bits Of prose
and verse that have been preserved
in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
historical significance, but Heart

CARE OF ARTIFICIAL HAIR.

Directions for Keeping Heavy Switch
in Good Order.
All authorities on false hair seem to
agree that while a heavy switch
should be shampooed regularly and
thoroughly the little curls and puffs
so much worn at the present time do
not need the same treatment. The
dust can be easily brushed out of these
small pieces and they do not come into
so close contact with the natural hair
as switch, which is generally twisted
in with the wearer's own hair.
While there is normally no oil in the
artificial hair, still it absorbs certain
amount of oil from contact with the
natural hair and for this reason needs
washing. This should not be done fire.
Quently. In most cases one shampoo
in two months is quite sufficient to
keep a heavy switch in good condition.
The directions for washing false
hair are almost exactly the reverse of
those prescribed for the shampooing
be used or whatever shampoo mixture
is preferred, but this should not be
rubbed directly on the hair.
Instead the switch should be
plunged into a bowl full of soapsuds.
After being thoroughly washed it must
be carefully rinsed in many waters,
some hairdessers insisting that eight
rinsing waters are none too many to
insure the thorough disappearance OF
the soap. -:
-. While natural hair should be dried
in the bright sunshine whenever pos
sible, this practice should be careful
ly avoided with artificial hair, as
strong sunshine tends to fade it. The
best method Of drying a switch is to
hang it at night in an open window
in a strong breeze. 80 .s,x.:
BY morning it. should be: perfectly
dry and the breeze has a tendency to
make it light and fluffy. It may then
be combed with a coarse-toothed
comb to remove the tangles. -. -

Smoke Cloud Injuries Health in Many

ease Germs.
A scientific investigator in Cinc1n-
natl has been trying to arrive at a
definite idea of the amount of SCOT de.
posted in the city in the course of a
year. One of his tests was to place
buckets three-fourths filed with water
on eleven roofs in different parts OF
the city.
At the end of three months care
full analysis was made of the contents
of the buckets to ascertain the amount
of carbonaceous matter. The final
computation is that in the downtown
area the falling SCOT amounts to 541
tons month, or eighteen tons daily.
Hundreds of Tons of SCOT.
On a square mile of the city the SCOT
deposited is III tons a month, or 343,-
728 pounds, an average of several
pounds to each inhabitant. In one OF
the suburbs the SCOT in the bucket was
.464 grams to the square foot for
period of thirty days. For the same
time the deposit at central point In
the city was 22.550 grams to the
square foot.
Other cities that burn soft coal need
not flatter themselves that they fare
much better. A glance out at the
windows tells the story. In many
parts of sooty city the trees and

These figures were laid before a

resolved to ask the next legislature for
