Ignorance Of South America.

One of our contemporaries referred
yesterday to little Paraguay" That
republic is four-dfths as large as Ger
many.
Many persons have erroneous no

rope, that the distance between the
north and south ends of Chile is as
great as that between the North Cape
of Europe and Gibraltar, and that
steamers ply almost straight north and
south on the Parana and its Paraguay

that between New York and Omaha

Hint for Washing Hair.

To avoid tangling the hair when
washing it, first separate it into two
parts by running the comb from the
forehead straight down the back Of
the head. Then divide each of these
parts into two and make four small
braids instead of n large one. When
the washing is done, II each braid is
taken out and combed by itself there
will be few, II any, tangles. This is an
especially good idea in washing a
child's hair.
