CARING FOR THE HAIR.
How to pisentansIe the Hair Of an
invalid.

TOW 70 Otoeut&n9io tn0 mar OF an
Invalid.
In every ones life there comes the
work OF having to comb or disentan-
gle the hair of one who has been sick
1t is not an easy task. 1t requires pa
tience and Il good deal of knowledge.
Those who have never done the work
may be glad to stow away in their
memory these facts:
That knots In the hair should always
be disentangled from below, not above
In smoothing and combing sick
PERSONS hair the first work Is to part
1t from forehead to nape Of neck and
brush the two divisions well away
from each other.
The hair should be separated by the
comb into small divisions. one Mt n
time. beginning at the forehead.
The combing should begin Mt the end
Of the hair, never at the scalp. The
hair near the head should be securely
held by the hand and twisted over one
finger. 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 n
knot is struck 1t should be separated.
II possible. from the smooth hair and
loosened by the teeth of the comb Mt
Its lower edge.
If a knot is loosened by the teeth Of
the comb inserted into the outer edges
and shaken gently the hairs uncoil and
spring back into their rightful position.
A little skill and little patience will!
teach person how to disentangle any
snarls with speed and ease.
When each division Of the hair has
been gently combed out and separated
from those that are uncombed all the
hair should be drawn back over the
shoulders and the comb gently run
through 1t from forehead to ends.
If the patient remains In bed the
hair should be again parted down the
center and softly braided into two
plaits which have the ends turned un-
der and securely tied with baby rib
bon.
And one should be sure not to make
these plaits too tight They should
not start Mt the roots Of the hair, for
this causes constant pull on the
scalp. which results in soreness or
headache.

EXPLOSIVES.
Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
Nitroglycerin.

Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
NitroeIyeerin.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder is to throw 1t into n
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving Of the
saltpetcr. II no suitable stream IS
available. the gunpowder may be stir.
red with water In tubs. or the dry gun
powder may he poured out OH the
ground in Il long thin line and ignited
with fuse Mt one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings should be carefully
removed. the bare cartridges laid in n
row with their ends In contact and the
first cartridge ignited with fuse with
out cap. Even with these precau
tons simultaneous explosion of the
entire mass may occur. so that It is
wise to retire to a safe distance. The
row Of cartridges should be laid paral
lei with the wind and ignited at the
leeward end, so that the flame will be
driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care. as It's combustion is
peculiarly liable to assume an explo-
sive character. A small quantity Of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing it in very small bits into an open
fire. or the cartridges may be exploded
one by one in the open air with fuses
and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water. as the nitrogycerin which
it contains remains undissolvcd and
capable Of doing mischief. Other eX
plosives which contain nitrorlycerin
should be treated in the same way as
dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown In small fragments into an
open fire or if they do not contain nj
troglycerin may be destroyed by means
of water. Explosive caps should be OK
ploded sngly with pieces of fuse.-Sci-
entific American.

WOMEN CLEANED A CITY
Under the Direction of the Rev. Caro-
line Bartlett Crane, Kalamazoo
Was Hygiennically Swept.

Kalamazoo is a city of only about
thirty thousand inhabitants, yet In
many respects it has attained to such
correct civic department as indicates
careful bringing up by hand by the
Improvement League that the Rev.
Caroline Bartlett Crane organized. 1t
is the vital needs of the heart and
lives of the community that are
reached.
The League looked on the streets
Oh Kalamazoo and saw that they were
rot nygienically swept. How should
men know how to sweep, anyway?
The men of the city government said
that they were cleaning the streets
as the STREETS always had ben clean
ed, and it must be right. But the
women said, No, that they would
show them. The city council was
asked to give over to the League SIX
blocks of the main street for per-
iod of thee months. together with
on this strip of pavement.
The plan was agreed to. Then 1T
became noised abroad that the wom-
en- of Kalamazoo were going to con-
duct this demonstration of right
street cleaning. And the yellowest
journals of Chicago, the near by me-
tropolis, began to focus the trained
machinery of their all searching
STATS on the little town.
The women grew nervous in this
glare of this limelight Of publicity,
but under Mrs. Cranes direction the
arrangements progressed. 1t was
Col. Warnings New York system that
was introduced. The white Wings"
were uniformed and all equipped
with new t,ooms and little carts.
Then at the eleventh hour, the women
who had been assigned in squads
of two to act as inspectors of the
work, one after the other rang Mrs
Cranes front door bell With one &C
cord they began to make excuses.
There were sick babies and unex-
pected guests and the ever-useful
husband who refuses to allow it.
So that the League that really
cleaned the streets was mostly Mrs
Crane. At first appalled, by the pros.
pect. she nevertheless stood to her
guns when all but one Of her faith
full lieutenants had fled. The yellow
cameras got ner, but at the end of
three months she had her reward.
The city adopted the system, for
she had done for $500 what had pre-
viously cost $3.50 day, and she had
proven that sweeping by hand was
better than the machine sweeping
that sent clouds of dust and disease
into the houses. To complete this
demonstration of neatness in NUM-
cipal housekeeping methods, the
League purchased and placed on the
street corners galvanized iron cans
for the reception of waste paper and
refuse. And they enlisted the efforts
of the children to keep the streets
free from litter by organizing in the
schools Junior Civic Improvement
Leagues with badge declaring, 81

FINE MUSIC FOR EVERYONE
The Newest Victor Records Emphasize
the Enjoyment Possible from this
instrument.

The new victor records for January
offer new opportunities to hear fine
music and other entertainment. The
records are so distinct that. like all
previous records, they give the listener
the impression that the singers and
instrumentalists are actually perform
ing in his presence.
There are in the new list four rec
ords of singing by Emmy Destinn. the
new prima, donna of the Metropolitan
opera in New York, who is making her
first appearance in America. Her bril-
liant success in leading opera houses
abroad has been made through her in
depreciation of prominent operate
roles. From these selections are
chosen for Victor records, ''Kennst du
das Land " from Thomas's opera of
"Mignon:" two arias from Puccini's
Madame Butterfly" sung in Italian
in distinct contrast to the German in
which the "Mignon" selection is heard.
and another number given in German
is the great ''Vaterland" aria from
Verdis opera of Aida In hearing
the reproduction of her dramatic voice.
the success which she has achieved as
an artist is easily understood, so de-
lightful do these records prove
Evan Williams, the tenor. again con-
tributes to the records a spirited air
from Gounod's Queen of Sheba,- in
which his fine tone quality and COM
prehension of the art of phrasing are
well shown. Nine Sembrich's glorious
voice is heard to notable advantage in
the ford bel raggio,' from Rossini's
opera of "Semiranide," and in two
other arias one from Donizetti's .'Dinda
di Chamounix." and from verdis "ves.

Carnival City Packet Company Pro-
poses to Change Names Of
Two Craft.
BOTH TO Be REMODELED.
Silver Crescent to be the Black Hawk
and the EIoise the Wenona-Latter
to Run on Canal.

Five boats are to be operated next
summer by the Carnival City Packet
company which has just held its an
nual meeting in Davenport. They are
the Helen Blair and Columbia, which
will continue to run between this city
and Burlington, the Black Hawk which
will run between Burlington and Keo-
kuk, and Burlington which will run be-
tween keokuk and Quincy, and the
Wenona, which will do excursion work
here in the latter part of the season.
1t will be observed that there are
two new names in the list. The Wen
ona win be the old Eloise, which was
purchased last fall and which is being
rebuilt. 1t will be started in the trade
down the river in the spring and will
continue there till the Silver Crescent
is rebuilt at the Wabasha yards.
The latter is to be made larger and
changed in various other ways, the
name being changed to Black Hawk.
1t will be taken south when the season
is well advanced to take the place Of
the Wenona. The latter will be used
largely in excursions up the Hennepin
canal. 1t is small enough to pass UNI
der the Moline bridge on Rock river
