Hair That Splits.

Many girls are troubled with the
splitting of the ends of the hair. This
indicates a lack of vitality. and such
hair is almost invariably dry. These
ends should be chopped, but never
singed. The old idea that the hair when
cut "bleeds'' is a very foolish one. and
deserves no attention. Some hairdress-
ers will tell you that singing closes
up the tube of the hair and thus pre-
vents it's bleeding" Much harm has
been done by such unscientific treat
ment, for the haid is not hollow tube;
neither does it bleed" In clipping I'M
even and split ends of hair the most
thorough method consists in taking a
strand at time, twisting it tightly,
and then, while holding it at it's tip
with one hand, rough it up by running
the finger tip and thumb quickly up
toward the scalp. In this way nearly
all of the hair ends will be made to
stand up and can then be clipped with
the scissors. Many hairdressers clip
the ends of new hairs all over the scalp.
This greatly strengthens their growth
after a few months.

Little Girls Should Learn to Sew.

That was a sensible New Orleans
mother, who, when her bright 16-year-
old daughter came home for the holi-
days from the old Ursuline convent
the other day, placed in her hands a
pattern, a pair of scissors and pretty
roll of dress goods, and told her
smilingly that she was going to supple
ment the ''isms and 'ologies" she had
acquired at school by a little practical
lesson in work, which must eventually
form a part of every woman's life.
And one may imagine the pleasure this
sweet maiden felt, when. as the hours
wore away, she saw the filmy folds take
shape beneath her def fingers. When
evening came she was able to put on a
dress of her own making-the first she
had ever made-and going up to her
good mother she said in the fullness of
her heart, at the new and happy ex-
perience that had come into her young
life. II don't know how long it is go
ing to last, but. mamma, 1 am sewing
mighty we'll" Now. isn't this a lovely
picture of home life, and a mothers
gentle influence, in training her daugh-
ter to industrious and necessary work,
and so guiding her young, unskilled
hands. that she could make a dress in
one day and not feel fatigued or dis
eusted gith the work, and throw 1T
aside in despair as so many girls might
have done. And what this thoughtful
mother has done every earnest, far
sighted mother may do whenever time

Good temper in the Household.

Good temper should never be at a
discount in domestic life. Nobody,
from the head of the household to the
servants in the kitchen, or the nursery
broods, should be permitted to tyran-
nize over others and crossness is the
worst form of tyranny.
1t may require firmness to set up a
barrier against the aggressions of the
i'll natured, but it ought to be done,
and a steady determination never to
give away to demands or claims made
by the family despot should be main
tanned.
On tombstone in one of the country
graveyards in Louisiana there is en-
graved the legend, "She was so pleas
ant" 1t is a touching and beautiful
tribute, and when one remembers what
that pleasantness meant in this home
from which the dear one slipped away
to the angels, it is more to be priced
than any record of attainment or am
bition. To be pleasant is within the
reach of all. We may not be brilliant
or learned, rich or famous. We may
miss much that we would like to obtain,
hut we may be amiable and pleasant,
and we can so administer our house,
holds that good temper therein shall
noD be at a discount.

Unusual Helaht of Queens.

1t is a singular fact that in the
reigning houses of Europe at the pres
ent time, the royal consorts are able
to look down upon their liege lords, the
rulers of their respective countries.
Queen Alexandria is taller than King
Edward VII of England. The car of
Russia is much smaller than his beau
tiful czarina. The Emperor William of
Germany is overlooked by his empress.
The king of Italy, recognized as one of
the smallest rulers of his time, is much
inferior in stature to the truly regal
Montenegrin princess, who stands head
and shoulders above her king. The
queen of Portugal can look down upon
her royal lord and master, King Car
los. The queen of Denmark is taller
than the king. Queen Louise, a Swede,
who comes from nation of large peo-
pie, is taller than her consort. The
queen of Spain fully equals in height
her husband, King Alfonso, if she does
not exceed him. The queen of Rouma-
MIA also equals her consort in height.

Care of Shoes.

sents considerable expenditure. It's
sue paper crushed and packed into the
shoe answers every purpose of keeping

Patent leather shoes need special care
to preserve them in good condition.
When they are fresh and new they may
be wiped over after wearing with a soft
line ncloth, and set in a closet that is
not too cold nor too warm. Extremes
of temperature injure the leather. AS
the shoes begin to show signs of wear
they should be washed with a sponge
dipped in lukewarm water. and after
being carefully dried, be lightly brushed
over with a patent leather varnish sold
for the purpose and applied with cam

For Taperinq Fingers.

Frenchwomen have always taken
great pride in tapering finger tips, and
to this is probably due the invention of
little devices for training them IN the
way they should go. They are little
things, like steel thimbIes, and are lined
with soft felt. There are different sizes
for the various fingers, and these are
adjusted by pressing them to the de-
sired size. The pressure should not be
hard enough to cause any discomfort.
OF course, results are not at once visi-
BILE. but by continually wearing these
little devices at night and as often dur
ing the day as convenient even very
thick finger ends may be trained into
a much more tapering effect.

Menthol.

Menthol crystals and oil of pepper
mint are distilled from the peppermint
plant, which is grown for the purpose
IN several districts of Japan. The new
crop, which has been available during
the last three months, was estimated at
$4,000 kin of the menthol and 125,00O kin
OF the ola kin being one and three
quarter pounds. Yokohama sends
abroad each year many thousands of
dollars worth of menthol and its sis
ter oil. The peppermint plant grows
ABOUT three feet high and is propagated
from roots which are planted the last
OF November and early in December.
In the Kobe consular district the crop
is cut three times a year-in July, in
august or early September, and in Sep
TENDER and early October. 1t requires
a dry, light soil, and if too much rain
falls during the months of June, July,
August and September the crop is ru-
med. The third crop produces the larg-
est percentage of oil. The quantity of
the crop required to make one kin is:
First crop, al pounds; second crop, SO
to 10S pounds; third crop, SO to 81
pounds. On an acre the first crop will
yield four pounds of oil, the second
eight pounds, and the third ten and
two-thirds pounds.
Crude oil is obtained in rather a
primitive way by heating and pressing
the leaves in a large barrel. Menthol
is produced from the crude oil in fac
tories by a process of freezing. The
farmers calculate that when the price
of oil falls below about 81 kin it pays
better to raise grain.

How to Wear coIors.

The auburn-haired woman looks best
in the browns that shade into the tones
of her hair or in the rich, dark green's.
The yellow-haired girl can wear red.
The greens, too. are delightful on her;
also certain yellows and blacks. White
is less becoming.
Blues, particularly the pale and cold
blues, are best adapted to brunettes
whose color is warm.
The woman whose hair is dull and
whose complexion and eyes lack bril-
liancy may still be attractive if she
wears frocks that harmonic with her
eyes and hair. Usually dull finished
materials in browns, blacks and certain
shades of blues that match the eyes
are kindest to her.

Care of the Feet.

Tender, smarting feet can well be

possible, have your shoes made for you

Wear fresh hosiery every morning,

of talcum powder and prepared chalk.
Night and morning battle the feet
with warm water, to which teaspoon
full of baking soda has been added; af-
terward rub them with alcohol.
