CARE OF THE HAIR
PROPER GROOMING ESSENTIAL
TO ITS WELFARE.
Nothing Tends More to an Attractive
Appearance Than Well Arranged
and Well Kept Tresses-
Washing and Brushing.

Well-groomed Pair always makes
one look neat and fresh, and If the
hair is kept fluffy and glossy a long
step is made toward an attractive APP
pearance. Very few people realize
how delicate even the most tenderly
cared for hair may be. They even
handle it roughly, brush it the wrong
way to make it fluff, and leave it in
tangle at night, to break with every
restless movement.
When taking the hair down at
night it should always be brushed
out smooth, the scalp brushed for
three or four minutes, and the hair
loosely braided. This brushing takes
the dust out OF the hair and stimu-
lates the circulation in the scalp. 1t
Is impossible to have healthy and
beautiful hair unless the scalp is free
from dust and dandruff. Brushing
and washing will remove both.
1t is mistake to wash the hair too
often. Once month, if dry; twice, If
inclined to be oily, together with thor
ough brushing, should be sufficient.
To clean the hair thoroughly it
must be washed in soft water-rain-
water, If practical; if not, then city
water softened with borax. An excel.
lent shampoo for hair that needs a
thorough cleaning is compounded of
one ounce of shaved ivory soap, one
ounce of borax, two tablespoonful of
alcohol, the beaten yolk of one egg,
one pint of warm water. Keep tight
ly corked. After rubbing the scalp
and hair thoroughly with the sham
poo it should be rinsed with clear,
soft, warm water, and then with clear,
cold water, and thoroughly dried,
either in the sun or by artificial heat.
The thorough rinsing of the hair is
most essential as the hair does not
breathe" properly if the scalp is
clogged with any soap, etc. If the
hair is at all inclined to be oily it
must be rinsed three times-irst with
almost hot water, then with warm,
and lastly with very cold water. This
win leave the hair in an absolutely
clean and normal condition.

Is the Sailors Friend.

Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A,
Hamburg for advice and for protec'
ton Mr.. Hamburg is the United
States shipping commissioner for the
port of New York. He Is the sailors
judge and jury. The men who sign
on foreign craft now must appear be.
fore him for their papers instead OF
going to the consuls of the various
countries. He decides all disputed
questions between the men and their
sailing masters. Many Of the abuses
OF these men that formerly were COM
mon, such as compelling them to buy
their outfits from the ship owners or
captains, have been done away with
under Mr.. Hanbury's rule. His office
is on the Battery park, New York,
where he easily can reach all the
ships leaving that port.

SOFT coLoRs ARE POPULAR.
All White Costumes Not So Much in
Evidence This Season.

1t cannot be truthfully said that
white ever really loses its popularity,
for it is always attractive in the sum
mer time, but it cannot be denied that
it has lost something of its prestige
this season. Rajah tailored suits in
white are smart, and it still leads for
evening wear, but for tailored linen
suits and demi-dress there is decided
preference for the soft, unaggressive
colors, with white in reservation for
decorative purposes. Ginghams make
pretty morning frocks, usually made
up with bias bands and pipings of
white or color, and always
rather severely. For general af-
ternoon wear lawns and mulls
are brought into service where some
thing more dressy than the tailored
linen is desired. Handkerchief linen
is one of the most satisfactory mate
rails for afternoon costumes, and the
texture need not be too fine. 1t has
excellent wearing qualities, launders
well, and is soft firm, and graceful.
Gowns are made as elaborate or as
simple as one desires, and still remain
effective. A charming model in walk
Ing length had a slightly gored skirt
with nineinch fiounce around the
bottom.
This flounce was finished around
the bottom with three narrow, lace
edged ruffies, and was attached to the
skirt with a band of Valenciennes in
sertion. The blouse had little Dutch
neck outlined with band of insertion
wider than that which headed the
fiounce, and below this the linen was
finely tucked to form a yoke effect
straight across from shoulder to
shoulder. There was a simple design
in hand embroidery below the yoke,
which was further carried out in the
sleeves, and a shaped girdle of the
cloth that was also embroidered.

Mark Twain Regrets Vanished Joys Of

Where now is Billy Rice? He was

stars of the nigger-show-Bllly Birch,

Backus are gone years ago; and with

travagant nigger-show-th show
which to me had no peer and whose
peer has not yet arrived, in my ex-
perience. We have the grand opera;
and | have witnessed, and greatly en-
Joyed, the first act of everything
which Wagner created, but the effect
on me has always been 80 powerful
that one act was quite sufficient;
whenever l have witnessed two acts
have gone away physically exhaust

have the niggershow back again, in
its pristine purity and perfection, /
should have but little further use for

INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One company's Assets Are Dis
tributed in the South and West.

In connection with its withdrawal
from Texas, along with many other
companies, rather than to submit to
the new law which requires that 1870
of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, In addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution Of its
assets, at the end of the second year
of the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,958 900 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to it's policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 3796 OF it's total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of it's
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed
