FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Lemon Wash For the Hair.

This preparation is unequaled in
bringing out the prettiest hues Of light
hair, and, what is better, it is perfectly
harmless, but must be used according
to directions. Take one ounce of salts
of tartar, juice of three good sized
lemons, one quart of soft or distilled
water. Dissolve the salt in the water,
which should be tepid, and add the
strained juice Of the lemons. The
chemical action of lemon juice upon
the alkaA changes the latter to an oil,
while it still holds its cleansing proper
ties. When the shampoo has ceased to
effervesce after rubbing carefully and
thoroughly into the scalp and roots OF
the hair rinse well with oceans Of run
ming water and bath spray to remove
every trace of the shampoo. This must
be done or the hair will be sticky and
not fluffy Boston Globe.

President Alexis Assured Minister
! Refugees Were Safe and Then Shot
! Them - Foreign Residents TrembIe
| For Their Lives.
Paris, March ia dispatch from
Port-au-Prince, HAITI where the gov
eminent summarily executed num-
Der Of alleged revolutionists, states
that President Nord Alexis Of Haiti
has consented to allow the refugees in
the French legation to leave the island,
but that henceforth rebels taking re.
fuge in the consulates will be removed
by force if they are not surrendered.
The dispatch says that it appears
that the situation is likely to be still
further complicated by the caste
hatred between the blacks and mulat
toes. Every one breads the possibility
of massacre of the Europeans by the
Haitian troops on the arrival of for
eign warships.
The dispatch declares that 1t is I'M
derstood there that Germany will take
action if the government executes any
more rebels. President Nord Alexis,
however, seems quite unmoved at the
prospect of naval demonstration.
Made Promise to France.
The situation between the Haitian
government and France has become
acute and critical.
The latter part of last week M. Bor-
no, Haitian minister of state, assured
NJ. Carteron that Haiti would agree to
allow the refugees in the French con-
sulates at Gonaives and st. Marc to
leave the island.
The news of the execution at Port
au-Prince on Sunday Of between ten
and twelve prominent persons on the
charge of conspiracy against the gov
eminent was accompanied by cable
| gram from M. Carteron announcing
that General Alexis, president of Haiti
had not only refused to confirm Bor-
nos assurances, but had fatty de-
clined to permit the refugees in the
consulates to depart. Eleven addition.
al persons have taken asylum at the
French legation.

Warships on Way to Haiti.
The French cruiser D'Estrees is ex

way to Haiti
1t is understood here that France
Germany and Great Britain are acting
In accord.
General Antenor Firmip who led thu
last revolt. is among the refugees un
der the French flag.
The Haitian governments activity IL
summarily dealing with number O
alleged conspirators in threatened
uprising has had the effect of causing
anxiety In the hearts of many, for |
is not known where the next blow ma.

tionary trouble may be. Outward,

suing term. Miss Grace Herrick,
who will teach at Palo Alto next year

heating apparatus at the main build
ing, the total cost to be $3.50.
The July apportionment to the
county was also announced, it being
$3,345 instead of as stated several
days ago The apportionment is
smaller than usual owing to the lesser
number of students and also to the
fact that the fund is short due to the
failure to collect certain interests.
