Hint For Washina 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 one large one.
When the washing is done if each
braid is taken out and combed by it.
self there will be few. If any, tangles.
This is an especially good idea in
washing a child's hair.

Picking Him Out,

The poet Tennyson," said an Eng.
lish writer, was often rude. Tennv-
son was so widely loved it turned his
mead a little. At any rate. he was
often guilty of rudeness. Once be
more than met his match. He made a
rude and s%cornful remark about the
dress of a certain dandy. Now. dan.
dies can generally take care of them
selves, and this one was no exception
to the rule. The dandy when in the
presence of 4 crowd of people the re-
mark was repeated to him by a mu-
tual friend screwed his glass into lis
eye and drawled calmly: oh, really,
Which Tennyson was 1.-THE dirty

No Bond of Sympathy.

An earthquake l have never met
While strolling down the pike,
Nor an l curious a bit
To know what they are like.
l wouldn't care to call one down
Or try it's wrath to stem.
If they will just let me alone
I'll do as much for them.
Some foolish people might desire
An earthquake for a pet.
But that would not appear to me
To be the one best bet.
I'd rather have a poodle dog
To follow me around
Than have the very finest quake
That ever Shook the ground.
An earthquake is so Very rude:
Ill hammered is no name
For all the capers that it cuts
I'm working out its game.
When it has i'll Il reckless mood
Mussed up some special spot
The owner of the place observes
His house Won't tit his lot.
Experience is very fine
1t helps a nan along
But / will pass the earthquake up
And take some not so strong.
If in advance l can but know
Where it Will run amuck
I'll take my family and my grip
And make q graceful duck.
