WAY TO WASH HAIR.

So many times when you are going somewhere you find your hair greasy or dirty and vainly wish you had time to wash it. But you haven't the time to spare to dry it properly, or if you do it will well nigh un- manageable. Try this: Take the white of an egg and beat it very stiff as if for frosting; rub it well into the hair and go about your other work. In a short time it will be entirely dry. Take a good, stiff hair brush and give your hair a good brushing and the white dust will fly. You will have to clean out the brush occasionally, for it soon gets filled. You will be surprised how fresh, fluffy and clean looking your hair will be; and it will go up prettier than usual.

TOO LONG DELAYED.

As the result of this congress which has jus. adjourned the country has undergoI. an important economic change. There has been a deep cut in . tho tariff regulations and the expe- rience which has followed has thus early given evidence of it's detrimental results. The theoretical basis and the guessworl upon which the tariff for revenue only programme was found ed has thrown the business of the country entirely off it's feet.
 An effort has been made to improve upon the Sherman antitrust law by passing new laws for the strengthen ing thereof. While the legislation un- derwent great changes. the Clayton bill has instead of strengthening only added to the uncertainty surround ing trust legislation. As to the change in the currency system the country awaits the results. It marks the cul- imitation of an effort which has been long underway.

Ex- travagance has taken the place of ad- vertised economy and while it was a congress where one party was in ab- solute control much of the restraint has come from the republican minor ity. It was through such influence that the famous pork barrel" policy was discarded,
 Congress has adjourned, but it was action too long delayed. Months age the business should have been wound up and the country given a chance tc realize where it stood. The closing days found it in about the condition that might have been anticipated, and the record of accomplishment is one of uncertainty

INCOME TAX SHORTAGE,

That the anticipated results of the income tax were as far from the mark as many of the campaign promises of the democrats is disclosed by the figures made public by. the treasury department whereby it is shown that where $45, ,000, 900 was expected there has been received but $28.000.000, not a single class of incomes living up to the hopes of the estimators.
 Accompanying the statement is the calculation that there are more than 10000 income tax dodgers, and such probably would be true if it was upon any certainty which the tax was based, but the fact is that the esti- mators were working in the dark What a man may be reputed to be worth and what he is actually worth are very likely to vary both ways. Rev. elations which are constantly being made go to prove it. Thus while the government officials may be Justified in their belief that there has been much tax lodging, 1t does not of nec- essity mean that the paying of all that $17,000,000 has been lodged just because they have not collected all that they considered they should.
 The income tax was accompanied by one of the greatest mazes in gov- ernment operations that has occurred for a long time. There is just as much reason to believe that the gov- ernment collected in that $28, 900, 900 money to which they were not enti- tied as that they failed to get what they consider they should receive.
 It was this tax which was relied up. on to make up the shortage from the reduction in the tax on foreign pro. ducers through the cut in the tariff Failing to get it either by tariff or in. come tax, it is now to be made ur through another taxa tax levied ir this country because there is war ir Europe.

OPPORTUNITIES IN THE EAST.

While the campaign for the increase of our export trade is being conducted it Is impossible to overlook the situa- tion which is disclosed by Japanese writer. It is a. market for the goods which can be produced in this country which is desired and in this connec- ton the importance of the eastern field is made plain when K. K. KawalSami says:
 Today the United States exports to China 36,000,0 taels worth of goods. Compare this with the Chinese inn ports of 269, 9,200.000 taels from Great Britain, including India and Hong Kong and you can realize what vast field lies before you for your com merce. Japan's exports to China amount to 90,000,ooo taels per an mum, much of which is made up of merchandise whose raw materials come from the United States. Turn to Japan aud you find another wide

HANGING PICTURES.

A great deal of the harmony of the finished room depends on the way the pictures are hung Round frames and square frames should not be all hung together in one grand ensemble. It is far more effective to hang the square frames together in one group and the oval in another. Then, too, it will be found much better to place a number of small pictures together instead of having them scattered, one here, one there. This hanging problem must be studied carefully so that the effect may be symmetrical and not disturbing to the eye.

Cold water stimulates the membranes of the stomach and hot water soothes them. Slipping either is better than swallowing rapidly, and when the taste of hot water is unpalatable a pinch of salt or a dash of lemon juice will im- prove it. A pinch of soda with the lemon juice is even better. A ratignal habit Of drinking water will not only improve the health but will preserve it. Water and milk are both very good to keep the kidneys acting well.

In China wages of woman operatives are nearly at the vanishing point. It is said that in the silk mills at Shang- hai there are 20,000 workers, among whom are children that work at cents a day and women at 5 cents. The highest paid get 26 cents for a thirteen hour day. In the Shanghai cotton mills the best woman workers get IA cents a day, the poorest 5 cents, the hours being from to 6, with thirty minutes at noon for dinner.

COTTON GIFTS.

The woman who wishes to make &C., ceptable gifts in cotton has only to consider bags for suits, coats, dresses and waists, each with it's own hanger. A covering that closes at the bottom Is more practical than the squares that hang over the shoulders of garments, for the reason that dust will blow underneath the closet doors and rise. These bags are arranged with buttons, insuring protection and convenience.

TWO INITIALS ONLY.

Long names and many initials are no longer smart. One must be satis- fled with a Christian name and a sur- name if they would be quite up to the latest in the world of fashion. Even a married woman is not entitled to more than two initials if she considers herself smart. Perhaps the idea is due to the fact that monograms of two letters are usually more artistic than when three letters are used and cer- tainly easier to decipher.

GOOD FOR PIANOS.

A reliable piano tuner told me that pianos are often injured because they become too dry. Keep a growing plant in the room with the piano and see how much more water it will require than the plants in any other room. A large vase with wet sponge in it kept near the piano will supply sufficient moisture.
