To ksap strsiaht Hair In Curl.

To Keep Straight Hair In Curl.
On damp days the girl whose hair Is
curly by reason Of the hot iron rather
than the permanent hand Of obhgng
nature is In grave danger Of losing all
the effect Of bygone fufHness. Her
friends, accustomed as they are to see
ing her face framed In waves, are st
a loss to explain the straggly appear
ance Of her browning glory.
Hot irons sooner or later are fatal
to the hair. No matter how careful
one may be In applying them, the day
will come when the temperature will
be forgotten because Of haste or for
getfulness, and q dead, lusterless
strand Of hair will mar the beauty
Of the entire mass. In the days OF
cumbersome curl papers there was
some excuse for the use Of hot Irons,
but in these time Of up to date and
convenient devices for curling the hair
curling irons should have no place on
the dressing table, being left entirely
to the professional hairdressers.
A few harmless preparations for
keeping the hair in curl are given:
For dark hair dissolve twelve grains
Of carbonate Of potash IN half pint
of rather strong black tea. Moisten
the hair With this mixture before put
ting it up in curriers'.
For blond hair q mixture of one
ounce Of borax, one dram of gum
arabic and eight ounces Of hot water
Is best. Dissolve the borax and gum
arabic In the hot water and bottle for
use. Use the same as the preparation
for dark hair.

REUNION At MANASSAS.
Remnant of Col. Mosby's Men, Hold
Reunion at Manassas-.-Interest-
ing Event.

The survivors OF Col. John S. Mosby's
command held their seventeenth annual
reunion at Manassas yesterday.
Scarcely hundred OF the grizzled
old veterans answered to the roll call
when at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning,
they met in the town hall to transact
the formal business OF their organiza-
ton. When this was through they
held another and more informal meet
ing at which "reminiscences of the war
were heard from all points.
At2 o'clock the veterans we're the
guests at bountiful old-fashioned din
ner spread for their delight at Conner's
Hall by the Daughters OF the Confede-
racy, where the daughters and grand
daughters OF many Of these old war
dogs gleefully took part of hand
maidens. Then followed more remi-
niscences OF the stirring days of the
sixties, interpreted with songs that had
survived from war times.
Then the Manassas folks took posses
sion OF their captors and carried off
their prisoners to this and that home,
where they spent the remainder Of their
day in visiting.
Judge Thomas Lion, Of the Manas-
sas bar, delivered the address OF vel
come to the veterans. An interesting
talk by Lieut.. G. G. Round followed.
1t was noticeable that everywhere
the stars and bars of the Confederacy
we're found floating in sisterly COM
partnership with the stars and stripes OF
the union, juncture typical OF the
soldiers who met in reunion there.
Several Alexandriaus, formerly mem
bers OF Mosby's command, attended
the reunion.

Now Powder Puff.

Novelty counters have lately exhibit
ed one charming bit Of silverware that,
while 1t fascinates the beholder, In
spires at the same time the question,
"What can it be good for?" This ex-
quisite frirolity is termed "a body
puff" In a large silver bowl for pow
der IS an equally large puff, to which
is attached long silver handle, rather
like the handle Of a carriage parasol.
It's length Is its strong point, or, one
might say, its long suit, since 1t en-
ables the user to reach shoulder and
heel with equal ease, but the appear
ance Of this useful handle as 1t pro-
1ects from the side Of the silver bowl
Is somewhat surprising. This novelty
Is found in the empire pattern, q fine
tracery Of lines forming background
that suggests brocade, with square
decorations superinposed on the lines.
At present the prices run up to $50.
but there is little doubt that long han
died powder puffs will prove SO CON
7eudent that they will soon be repro
duced in less costly style.

TORNADO IN INDIANA.

Further details of the ravages OF the
tornado that passed over the western
part of Indiana Saturday night show
that the destruction was more wide
spread that at first supposed. 1t is
learned that not less that 30 persons
were injured, two or three fatally,
and that five towns suffered damaged.
The town OF Hillsboro, northwest
of Charlottesville, was in toe direct
path of the storm and not house es-
capped damage, while five were de-
stroyed. FeGcing, barns, dwelling and
outhouses we're lcvelled with the
ground for miles northwest OF the town,
and 10 persons were injured in and
around Hillsboro.
Ten miles west OF Kokomo the Old
Order OF Dunkards were holding q
meeting and nearly 800 were in the
church. While the minister was
preaching there was a heavy gust OF
wind followed by binding flash OF
lightning that stunned everyone in the
church. Twenty-one horses we're
hitched to rack nearby, and when
the worshippers rushed out FIVE OF
the horses we're dead and all the others
lay on the ground, Some OF them
badly injured. The hitching rack was
formed by wire cable attacked to iron
posts at either end.
The town of Ben Davis is virtually
q wreck, hardly a house standing in
the corporate limits that is not so dam
aged that it will have to be torn down
and rebuilt. Not o chimney in the
town is standing and % homes were
utterly destroyed. All that remains OF
them is debris that is worthless.

This action OF the committee will be learned
with pleasure by Democrats throughout the

deplorable by reason of the coalition between
the Republicans and certain Democrats for the

amply able to establish by irrefutabe proof the

are assured will not be tolerated This is
good news for many people whose sensibilities

il Is true that thousands flock TO suoh places

true that in the conduct of such an enter
prise. for the diversion of promscuous crowds,
the managers cannot be expected TO yield to the
demands Of prudishness or oyer-sensitive con,
scientiusness. They must consider the de-
mands of many whose conseienoes permit a
liberaiity Of conduct beyond that Of the straight
laced But at the time, there is no reason
why that should be permitted that is offensive

Ne trust that the ediot against gambling will

dangerous feature Of the average fair is tho
