There are almost as many formulas
printed for shampoo mixtures as for
face creams. Some of these are ex'
cellent, and; Others possess no special
cleansing properties. while some are
positively injurious and should never
be experimental with. Here are a
few formulas selected from long list
and we can select from them accord
ing to our special needs.
Three eggs lightly beaten with three
tablespoons OF warm water. Rub the
mixture into the hair and on the scalp
taking pains to cleanse quite as thor
oughly as though you were using a
soap shampoo. More egsg can be
used II necessary, but the proportion
of water should be a tablespoon to
each egg. If the odor of the eggs Is
unpleasant to you little toilet water
can be put in a half pint of cold wa
ter, and poured over the hair after
the last rinsing.
An egg shampoo with soap jelly Is
sometimes more satisfactory than
eggs alone, and the general rule is to
use one teaspoonful Of soap jelly to
each egg, mixing, them we'll: then fill
a basin with two quarts Of hot water,
hold the head over 1t and suds the hair
vel with the egg mixture, using the
water from the basin to assist in the
cleansing. rinse in several waters and
dry in the sun.
For blonde hair the following is adj
vised: The whites Of two eggs, -four
ounces Of rose water, half ounce al
cohol and a level teaspoonful of pow
dered borax. Rub into the hair as you
would any other shampoo, cleansing
both hair and scalp, and rinse well In
several waters. NJ. aa
A simple shampoo consists OF hall
cup Of olive oil soap, al evel teaspoon
full Of baking soda and a generous PM
of hot water. Let stand till cold wher
ii will be a soft jelly. Wet the hall
first with warm water, and shampoo
with the jelly.
For very oily, dirty hair, take to
blespoon OF green soap and dissolve y
in one pint Of hot water by constan
stirring. Add half ounce Of glycer
inc and an ounce Of alcohol, This II

White Cancels Hair or Goats.
The tailors have brought about a
very clever way OF Frightening up a
dark suit to tide one over the first few
weeks of spring by using white cam
els hair for collar and cuffs. This
fashion came out in February for the
tourists who we're going South, and 1t
has been kept in favor ever since.
Not only can the winter suit be
lightened up in this way, but last sum,
mers coat suit can be thus improved
and brought up to the mark The col
lar is wide and very deep, and the cuffs
are unusually large. OF course, ones
figure must determine this, but the
general idea of depth and width can
be followed out.
MT Sandwiches.
Almost any kind of nuts make a
good sandwich. Have them ground
fine and mixed smooth with little
mayonnaise or use plain cream. A leal
fof crispilettuce used between the slices
with the nuts is an improvement.

THE SIZE OF THE OCEAN.

An officer of a liner once remarked
that most men seemed to be as ig-
norant about the size of the sea as
they are OF the distance between the
heavenly planets. Here are a few
facts: The Pacific covers $4,000. 900
miles; the Atlantic 3O,O0O,OOO, and the
Indian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic
100000 To stow away the contents
Of the Pacific it would be necessary
to fill tank one mile long, one mile
wide and one mile deep every day for
$40 years. Put in figures, the Pacific
holds In weight 94S,OOO, 900, 900 OOO,-
100000 tons. The Atlantic averages a
depth of not quite three miles. It's
waters weigh $4,000, 900, ,00O, 900, ,OOO.-
900 tons, and tank to contain It
would have each of its sides 43O miles
long. The figures of the other oceans
are in the same startling proportions.
It would take all the sea water in the
world 100000 years to flow over the
Niagara
