I wrote this this morning and
after my auntie left I found No. %,

Tucked away in a corner by itself,

Henna Gives Auburn Tint.

A G.-Have you tried henna for dye
ing your gray and grown switch? Hen
ma. which IS the most ancient OF all hair
dives. gives an auburn tint to both light
and dark hair. When used by itself II
imparts tints from a pale golden red
10 a coppery red, but if it is mixed
either with powdered indigo leaves OF
indigo coloring matter, as is custom
arv in the Orient, or with a solution
of ammonia. as is usual IN Europe
the tint is much darker-in fact almost
black. 1t is advisable to first attain
skill by trying the mixture On some
combings. To use the dye, stew a
heaped-up tablespoonful OF the pow
der over 2. Slow fire for thirty minutes
stirring occasionally and finally strain
ing it. The solution is then brushed or
the hail. and allowed TO dry, the pro
cess beng repeated until the desired
shade is attained.

to or@ter pd the committee appointed
somA Ne ago reported that $2,700 had
been lpssed on stock proposition and
of rhf5 semount $500 had been paid In.
General discussion followed in which
several men present seemed of the OPP
inion that the sum needed was too
great and that it could never be sub
scribed. They had no other sugges-
to register a protest, and thought that
it would be better to get cheaper land
out farther from the city and to get
the railroad to run spur out to the
grounds and run trains during the fair
week.
Richard Cookingham was in favor
of buying the Weisner land across the
viaduct and offered to be one of the
thirty-five men to put up five hundred
dollars each and form stock COM
pany.
President Booth and number o1
others spoke in favor of keeping the
option on the land now held.
On vote it was decided to keep the
