1t takes positive genius to arrange
the hair deity in graceful lines,
smartly and in the. latest mode, and
yet without harshness or hardness.
Separate curls are an Indispensable
accessory to the dressing of the hair,
yet lack of discrimination and fitness
in their disposition is so often mani
tested that word of advice as to
their use is called for by the many in

ridiculous than a head of uEcurled
hair surmounted by puffs and ringlets

things avoid this.
In dressing the hair, whatever deco
ration is used should be embedded
well and firmly close to the head and
the pompadour. waves and curls

it. Great care should be taken to
avoid the detached, disjointed effect
which so often results from the awk-
wardness of a novice.
Particularly those little curls that
show beneath the hat should lie close
" against the waves of hair, not
dangle at haphazard from an uncurled
head.

THE suNFLowER AND ouININE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields a
Splendid Febrifuge.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfow-
er yields a splendid febrifuge that can
be used as a substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject. Accordingly the sunfiower
should not only by its growing exert
great fever-dispelling effect, but also
yield a product which is used advan-
tageously in all fevers.
The common sunhower is an Amer
lean plant. Its original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
tients sleep upon a bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with them. This use has re
Gently induced a Russian physician tc
experiment with a coloring matter
prepared from sunfiower leaves, and il
is stated that he has had good results
with the coloring matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month tc u years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
a cure as otherwise with quinine.

DISLIKE SMELL OF KEROSENE.
Cats Particularly Will Not Stay
Where Oil Is Used.

Il never knew until this winter,
said the superintendent of dog and
cat hospital, how thoroughly most
animals detest the smell of kerosene
Several times the steam heating APP
paratus in this place went on strike
and We tried to raise the temperature
by means of an oil stove. The smell
of the oil produced a regular mutiny
among the animals. Cats are partic-
ularly sensitive to the odor of kero-
sene. Next door to my house is a
stationery store which has been heat
ed all winter long with an oil stove.
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned a fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his COM
Portable quarters. No sooner, how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
a home for the winter in a steam
heated fat further down the street
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell of the oil pre-
vents his becoming a regular inhab
liant of the store"

MARCEL WAVE STILL LIKED.
Little Evidence That It Is Losing
Popularity.

Rumor hints from time to time that
the Marcel wave is to be abandoned.
but this is merely the fiotsam of
fashion gossip, for the best authori-
ties state positively to the contrary.
AS this style becomes more firmly
established, however, it improves in
treatment, and the correct wave is
quite a different thing, says an au-
thority in Vogue, from the stiff mod
ern fluctuations that have been per-
petrated by half-trained hair dressers.
with the result of hardening and
coarsening the expression of the feat
ures to highly lamentable degree.
There are at least 40 different
schools in New York where courses
of four or five lessons are given, the
teachers claiming to turn out on such
insufficient experience skilled artists
in couture building-an impossibility
of course.
The really competent hair dresser
manipulates the Marcel wave softly
and loosely, in harmony with the
shape of the head as best becomes
the wearer. All stiffness is eliminated

are attached to the maillot garments

them are dual garments in combina-

The new corset. long below the

THF LAST CAME FIRST.
Yaret1Ey Was Changed to "Aratzly" at John
sons Island During the War.

From the Natchez Daily Democrat,
Some of the Masons in attendance at
the Grand Lodge are telling a good
story on the Grand Tyler, julius Var
etzky of Shuqualak, this state.
Mr.. Yaretzky is one of those clever
"Old Timer" who is gifted with a
charming disposition always friendly
and agreeable and willing to take the
butt end OF a joke at any time just TO
be sociable.
He is a good Mason a true Mississip-
plan from the hair on his head down to
the soles of his feet, and he was the
same way back in the early 6o's when
all good Mississippians stood by their
beloved south.
So much by way Of introduction now
for the story,
AS will be noted, the initial Of his
family name is next preceding the last
letter in the alphabet, and thereby
hangs the tale Of the incident about to
be related He was with GlafborU's
division at the battle of Franklin and
was taken prisoner in that engagement
With other Confederate soldiers he was
sent to Johnson's Island, at the mouth
of Sandusky Bay overlooking Lake
Erie.
In the course Of time there came AN
exchange of prisoners. The Union was
ready to exchange some Of their Con
federate prisoners for an equal number
of Union prisoners held by the Conred-
crates.
Mr.. Yaretzky was informed that 5b.
exchage would be made according Go
the alphabetical arrangement of names.
and as his name began with q ny "
there would be absolutely no chance for
him in the exchange
Hearing this statement, an. expires
sion of surprise was put on for mo-
ment
"Huh?' he exclaimed, you don't
know how to spell my name. It's not
va retz ky at all; it's "Aretz ky.
This settled the question and "Aretz.
KY was the first name in the bunch Of
exchanges.
Ever since that time, his friends ha.
given up the idea of pronouncing hi
name, and have compromised by calling
him the gentleman with the convenient
name, and he appreciates their natur9
hesitancy in hitting his name, becaus.
he knows that while a man may pre-
fer ag ri kul tn raj to ag ri eul tur al

proper name and missing It a mile Mr.
Yaretzky is very popular with hi.
