THE INvALID's HAIR.
How Woman Sufferer May De
Spared Much Pain.

In every ones life there comes the
work OF having 90 comb or dlscntanglc
the hair of woman who has been
sick. lt IL not an easy task. IL re-
quires paticncc and good deal OF
knowledge. Those who have never
done the work may bc glad To stow
away I'm their memory these facts:
That knots In hair should always be
disentanglcd from below. not above.
In smoothing and comblng sick
persons hair the first work Is TO part
It from forehead TO nape OF neck ana
brush the two divisions well AWAY
from each other.
Tho hair should be separated by the
comb into small divisions. one M a
time. beginning at the forehead. The
combing should begin at the end OF
hair, never at the scalp. The hair
near tho head should be securely held
by the hand and twisted over one hn
ger so that the scalp will not feel any
pull from the comb.
Begin work about an inch from the
end and gradually work up. When a
knot Il struck II should be separated
III possible. from the smooth hair and
loosoncd by the teeth OF the comb nj
It's lower edge.
The comb should not bc placed above
IL, as this Will make II more obduratc
and snnrl tho other hair. II knot
IL looscncd by the teeth OF the comb
inserted into the outer edges and shnk.
on gently, the hairs uncoil and spring
back into the rightful position.
A little SKIN and little patience win
teach person how 10 dlscntangle any
snorls with speed and case.
When each division OF the hair hns
been gently combcd out and separated
from those that are uncombed, all the
hair should be drawn back over the
shoulders and the comb gently run
through IL from forehead To ends.
If tho patient remains I'm bed the
hair should he again parted down cen.
ter and softly braided into two plnlts
which have the ends turned under and
securely tied with baby ribbon. Re
sure not TO make these plnits too tight.
They should not start at the roots OF
tho hair, for this causes constant
pull on the scalp. which results In
soreness or headache.

roads commonly practiccd against those
who sought TO compete with them i'm any
side line in which they were engaged,
especially in the production Of coal

private mine owner would give up the
fight and sell his mine 10 the railroad at

Supreme Court Decision a Victory for
tho EIkins' Attitude
Toward Amendment.
From our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, May n Tho Republican
standpattcrs struck n tartar when they
undertook to squclch Senator Dollivcr. OF
Iowa. MIR. Dolivcr persisted in demand
ing how an increase of thctarifrratcs was
revision downward. lie wanted to know
why the consumer was to bc taxed in
orlinatcly ON every article made of wool
or cotton, why Senator Aldrich had per.
mittcd certain New England manufnc-
turcrs tu make the WOOL and cotton schcd-
ulcs, and II dozen other things which It
was impossible for the Republicans to
answer frankly and which il greatly cm-
barrhsscd them to have brought to public
attention. Throughout speech lasting
the greater part of two days Mr. Dollivcr
Kept his temper under the most trying
circumstance answered mucndo with
witticism and turned aside the angry
shafts oi MIR. Aldrich with icsts which
won for him the sympathy of the senate
and even the applause of the galleries
although applause il forbidden i'm the
senate, and each time il occurs the pre-
siding officer gravcly warns the galleries
that II It occurs again hc will bc Obliged
To clear them.
senator Aldrich, although hardly dar-
ing Ia charge 1t outright, plainly init
mated that MIR. Dollivcr's opposition TO
the cXorbitant schedules. which are the
Rhode Island senator's particular pets.
cmanatcd from the fact that the Iowan
was angry because he had not received n
place on the finance committee and that
there was no more worthy reason for his
opposition. That any man should .havc
the interests oi the ultimate consumers AT
heart apparently never enters into the
calculations of the Rhode Island states
man. Probably the fact that il is gcncr-
ally known that Mr.. Dolliycr has the
sympathics ol the president with him in
his fight on the cXorbitant schedules adds
nothing tothc comfort Of the Rhode Island
senator. The indications all point now
to continuation ol the session of CON
grcss until June 10, and possibly later.
