BIeached Hair.

This is pre-eminent1y the time for Wom-
en- who have been dyeing or bleaching
their hair to discontinue the practice, for
so much false hair can be worn now
that the head can be completely covered
with it during the period that the tresses
are regaining their natural shade.
Times without number 1 am asked py
my correspondents how they can restore
color, having changed it by dyes. and my
only answer is by massage, brushing and
copious use of oils. The last. perhaps
the most important. is manifestly i'm
possible when ones own hair must snow.
bnt when false pieces are used the head
NAV he delueed and the oil will not show.
The chief injury done the hair through
dyeing or bleaching is the drying OF
natural oils until the locks starVe or De
come so crisp they break constantly.
Oil is the best method of nourlshlns, az
massage is best to drive it into the pores

minutes in this way, then another rno-
bling must be given to drive the Oil INTO

thorough brushing. using long brlstles
that will go through the hair and reach
the scalp.
The whole treatment will take at least
ten and probably fifteen or twenty MN
utes at night, and it is not to be thought
that all the oil will be absorbed by the
scalp in this time. To the contrary much
will remain and the head will not look
neat. Nevertheless, if necessary, 1t may

twisted closely but not tightly around

switches affected by fashion are pinned
on to completely cover the natural
tresses.

return to natural color. To dry hair after
it has been bleached is to make the
trouble worse MARGARET MIXTER.

WILL BE AHEAD OF TIME.
Prophecy Regarding the Completion
of Panama Canal.

Members of the Panama canal fortifi-
cations board from the isthmus believe
the canal will be finished not only on
time, but even ahead Of time. 1t is pro-
posed to station on the isthmus a strong
garrison from the mobile army. with a
detachment of field artillery and prob
ably two troops of cavalry, besides the
number Of coast artillery troops required
for manning guns in forts at the en-
trance of the canal and also for the de-
Tense of the land approaches.
Particular attention will be given TO
such important parts Of the canal as the
Miraflores locks and the Gatun dam. The
impossibility Of utilizing the militia
makes the stationing Of an adequate gar
rison imperative, and a sufficiently ef-
fective medical administration must be
present on the isthlnus properly to watch
over the sanitary conditions and pre-
serve the health Of the men.

forty-five years. had her picture taken on

The act of self destruction was in fulfill

her when she came into possession OF
"a. 600 two wears ago-that she would new

were no more in sight when she finished
with the $4,000 she would kill herself.

Platforms For Chicken Coops.

Anyone who expects to raise little
! chickens in the spring must meet the
question of how to keep them warm,
dry and clean and safe from the rats.
1t is of no use to try to raise chickens
unless you have suitable place to
keep them, and it is better to get this
| ready before they are Matched than
to wait until they are ready to take
out of the nest, and then begin to
look around for coop.
The coops should be tight and have
good roofs and substantial platforms
under them to keep the chickens out
of the water. Every spring there are
hard rains when the ground is thor
oughly soaked with water, and it is
impossible to keep the chickens dry
if the coops are on the wet ground.
tt is no pleasure TO go out during or
after a hard rain and gather up half
drowned chickens, and take them in
to the house to dry; but this is what
one will be compelled to do if he does
not want the chickens to drown.
If rats are bad it is almost impos-
sible to raise little chickens with the
coops on the ground for they will dig
under them and kill all that happen
to be in the coop. Another advan-
tage about having the coops on plat
forms is that they can easily be kept
clean. The coop can be lifted off, the
platform scrubbed and left until at
ternoon to dry and air. and the coop
replaced before time for the chickens
to go into it for the night.
These are all little things, but they
have much to do with the success of
the person who expects to go into the
chicken business. Margaret Whit
ney, in the Indiana Farmer.

that by perspiring freely nature comes
to the assistance in preventing the

Mutton, Wool, or Both

Is it advisable for the average
sheep raiser, in the management of
his flock, to give attention chiefly to
the production of mutton or wool, or
to endeavor by selection to blend
both and breed to improve the two
desirable qualities? 1t has become
a believed fact that in the breeding
of live stock it is practically impos-
sible to reach the highest attainment
by attempting to carry along too
many improvements, as frequently it
becomes necessary to eliminate one to
obtain the benefit of another, writes
l.. C. Reynolds in an exchange. 1t is
seldom, indeed, that the average
flockmaster is able to secure new
blood each season to effect improve
ment, possessing strong Characters
tics in all desirable qualities. Some
thing has generally got to be sacri-
feed in order to gain the benefit of
the Strengthening quality possessed
in the new blood.
The true object to be attained in

should. however, be kept vitality in
mind. The sheep raiser who is keep
ing sheep for the financial returns, and
who is DESTROYS of making his flock
produce as large revenue as possible
each season, can hardly afford to
breed exclusively for wool or mutton.
In years past, wool has been a pri-
mary factor in sheep raising, and at
that time when prices were unusually
high made this product profitable
resource, but to-day conditions have
decidedly changed. The American
people are not only wearing wooden
garments, but are greedily relishing
the flesh products of the stock as
we'll. The average flockmaster can
not afford under present conditions
to maintain a flock exclusively for the
production of one product, but must
combine all of them and breed for
their highest development.
The raising of sheep for the pro-
duction of both wool and mutton
opens two sources through which the
flock can be made to insure greater
profit. While it must be admitted
that the highest possible improve
ment cannot be reached in developing
both the wool and mutton qualities,
the profit from the average flock will
| be increased by so doing and also
made more constant. The market
price of both wool and mutton vary
with the supply and demand. Some
years the supply of mutton will be
sufficient to meet the demand, while
the market will experience short
age in wool. If the flock is so main.
tanned that maximum of both ar.
ticles can be put upon the market,
no matter if one is excessively low,
the revenue from the flock is held up
If the other is above average price,

This seems to solve the problem
other inventors have been working
on, of what to do with the ironing
board when it is not in use. The
seatboard and back of the chair are
hinged to a board which extends
across the front legs, and both are
detachably affixed to the seat rails
and back rails. When it is desired to
use the affair for ironing the chair
is turned over so that it rests on the
ends of the rockers and the top OF
the back rails.
The seat and back are then
Strengthened out till they form one
long board and held in position by a
support which is hinged to the back
and folds down behind it, when the
device is used as a chair. This gives
a firm, broad surface on which to
iron, the end of the board forming
the chair back being tapered as is
the end of an ordinary ironing board.
