Mllady's
Mirror
A Little Beauty Talk.


Headache is often the result of in
digestion No woman, however perfect
of feature, can be truly beautiful when
racking pain draws her face full
of fine lines and dulls the expression
of the eyes. The next time you are
suffering with headache try drinking
a half glass of cold water into which
have been put the juice of half a
lemon and a half teaspoonful of soda.
The drink is not unpleasant and in
many cases it brings almost immediate
relief.
A woman whose hair is always soft
and glistening has disclosed the secret
of her attractive cOiffure. She buys
package of absorbent cotton from
the druggist. Next she strips layer
from it and places the layer over the
bristles of a wire hair brush, pushing
it we'll down until the bristles pene-
trate the cotton, which should lie close
to the back of the brush. Then she
strokes the hair, beginning near the
scalp and giving vigorous stroke to
the ends. a few of these firm strokes
will reveal how large quantity of
dust and smoke can be taken up by
the cotton, the result being the same
as the cold cream bath to the face at
the end of the day.
Just as cold cream leaves the face
bright and fresh. the cotton brushing
leaves the hair with brilliant sheen
and natural fiuffiness.
The cotton stroke should be admin
istered every night Just before retiring,
an open window being the ideal place
for the identifying process.
Every woman has known the misery
of needing shampoo after journey
and not being able to have it at once
because of lack of facilities. The hot
and cold water may be handy, but not
the shampoo medium. So prepare this
before you leave home and carry II
along in a tightly stoppered bottle-a
three ounce vial will do.
Boil CASTLE soap shaved to powder
about two heaping teaspoonfuls in a
little water. putting in about two salt,
spoonfuls of washing soda. When get,
ting ready to wash the hair, massage a
wee bit of cold cream into the scalp,
then slightly wet the hair and work
in the scalp jelly or liquid-into the
scalp, Of course.
Rinse as usual, trying to keep the
successive waters at an even tempera.
ture 1t is the sudden change from
hot to cold water that makes the hair
harsh, as it is so often found to be after
the most careful shampoo.
The reason given by beauty people
for boiling the soap used in shampoOs
is that this preparation makes it still
more bland. If the hard cake is rubbed
directly upon the hair it is bound to be
harsh and less bright than if the head
Is washed by a regularly prepared soap
as directed

Toothbrush Wisdom.

Tooth powders containing charcoal
have the effect of whitening the teeth
as we'll as purifying the breath. An ex-
celent idea is to rub little dry char
coal powder into the crevices between
the teeth upon retiring at night, then
brush it away in the morning. Char
coal absorbs all impurities, either solid
or gaseous, leaving the teeth white and
glistening and the gums clean and rosy
ANY stray particles Of charcoal that
might be carried into the stomach
would act az an aid to digestion rather
than as a detriment. Bicarbonate OF
soda common baking Soda has much
the same effect, being benefit both to
the teeth and to the stomach.

essential oil of violets, and pour the
whole into a bottle and cork It.

When washing your powder chamois
do not rinse out all the soap or it will

water. This will bring forward the

NEW RULES FOR BALINe COTTON

New Orleans, La, Aug 22.-New
rules as to baling and marking cotton,
which the steamship companies are to
put into effect on the first of the month,
are expected to bring about decided
improvement in the appearance of
American cotton shipped abroad. Here
tofore American cotton has been baled
in a notoriously careless manner,
which has resulted in an unfavorable
comparison in Europe with cotton ship
ped from other countries. The new
regulations will have the effect of
changing the bale from ragged mass
with cotton protruding on all sides, to
a neat rectangle of burlap. 1t is be-
lieved that the elimination of the
losses of cotton from the old bales will
more than repay the owners for the
extra trouble necessitated by the new
regulations.

New York, Aug. 22.-The dynamite

Six sticks of dynamite were found
yesterday afternoon under a window
of Mayor Gaynor's suite of offices in
the city hall. The inspector of COM
bustibles took the sticks to fire head
quarters for further test. They were
found by a janitor.
After an analysis inspectors report
ed that the stuff was 40 per cent"
dynamite-a quantity sufficient to
have demolished the city hall-and
that decorating caps were found to be
placed in the proper position for ex-
ploding it. A fuse, a piece of Chinese
punk and three burned matches were
found later near the spot where the
dynamite was picked up.
The dynamite and detonating caps
were wrapped in Italian cambric and
tied with a red and blue twine string.
The six sticks were in one package
and the package was within few feet
of where Mayor Gaynor was sitting
at the time it was found.
Mr.. Gaynor evinced little interest
when told of the explosives proximity.
and remained apparently undisturbed
at his desk while police officers hur-
riedly drew a Gordon about the dyna-
mite to keep back an excited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor Frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would make
no statement regarding the possible
connection between any previous
threat by mail and the dynamite It

MORE LITIGATION

BOUGHT AT TAX SALE PROM
ISES COMPLICATIONS.

Much additional litigation seems
destined to arise out of the suit OF ).
NJ. Leverett VS.. Anderson Aylesbury,
which was reported as having been de-
cided in Col. Leveretts favor by Jus
tees Farley, Powe and Greer sitting
enbanc, in the hearing of the case OF
unlawful detainer. The report that
the house built by the defendant was
removed from the lot involved in the
litigation Just before the judgment for
plaintiff was rendered was true only
in part. An effort to move the house
was made and so certain was the de-
fendant that Contractor Creary had
gotten it off the lot, when asked by his
attorney at the trial if he had house
on the lot he replied, Il did have, but
haven't now" 1t was afterwards
learned that the contractor had only
partly succeeded in getting the house
clear of the lot. A notice warning
trespassers was posted and it is claim
ed this notice was disregarded by the
old negro man and his contractor, H.
c. Creary because they were advised
that their notice was not legally pro
hibitive. 1t is stated that subsequent
ly they went on the ground and under
took to complete their work of remov-
ing the house and were arrested
Later both contractor and house
claimant were served with an injunc-
ton notice in addition to being charg-
ed before Justice Farley as tress-
passers, Owing to the absence of
County Attorney Hill, the trial was
continued, and as Attorney Bishop,
who represents Aylesbury, announced
his intention of being out of the city
for several days its hearing was post
poned to a date to be set.
