Care of Hair at SeashOre

and consequent scratching of the scalp. There are also germs and mil crobes in salt water which can, of course. take up their abode in the hair. The very best treatment for hair at the seashore is first to use the wet sponge as directed and after coming from the water to take the juice of lemon and pour over 1t a cupful of boiling water. When sufficiently cool saturate the head with it and dry with warm towels. In ten minutes rinse off with warm water.
 Shampoo the hair frequently. using the yolk of an egg well beaten with cupful of hot water and twenty drops of the spirits of rosemary. Rub this into the scalp and after ten minutes
 rinse with warm water and dry. When inconvenient to shampoo brush the hair well and use the following scalp wash:
 Extract of witch hazel one pint: eau de cologne, eight ounces: chloro- form. three drams
 This treatment will cleanse and make
 the hair soft. glossy and fluffy. In some cases the scalp becomes ex- tremely dry and the hair wiry and brittle when exposed to the salt air. It is then necessary to use a little oil to replace the natural oil
 While the sun has an i'll effect upon wet hair (salt water) it is very bene- ficial when the hair is dry, so while at the seashore daily sun bath will be good Take off the cap. shake out the hair and let it float in the breeze, run-
 ming the fingers through so the hair
 roots may be benefited by the air. sun
 and ventilation. This treatment if persevered in will be found to work wonders and incidentally mean a sav- ing of time and money. for professional treatment will be entirely unnecessary upon the return home.

TWO ECONOMY HINTS

TT Is great mistake to throw away expensive hand embroidered gar ments as soon as they become old fash toned. for if one Is skillful with the needle the embroideries may be trans- ferred to a new gown or blouse without being detected.
 Sew the pattern over the new ma terial carefully. and in order to be ac- curate retain the old material until the design is securely pasted. Sew each scallop or design fast with fine needle and thread. Carefully clip away the old goods with a pair of sharp em- broidery scissors. Whip a row around the edge from the wrong side and the garment will look like a new one for

ttT ,IFE may not always be Of the kind
 that one would choose" said a very sensible woman the other day. "but almost any kind ot life is better than petrifaction."
 If one has run the gamut of experi- ences it is worth while in the way of soul development. even if they have left scars that will never disappear Filing up the agony does not. of course help some souls. who only store up for themselves fresh supplies of bitterness, 10 be liberaty doled out to others all the rest of their lives
 But think of the deadly dullness of the uneventful life in which there is not even pain or anxiety to vary the monotony of existence.
 It is said. that since the telephone came@into existence there are fewer farmers wives sent to insane asylums. Before this happy period of existence life meant to most women on farms a deadly routine of work that broke not only their backs but their spirits as well, and finally made ment;u wrecks of them. Now the telepnone !., the house means the bell ringing once in awhile to interrupt the grind of work, and while the women at each end of it may be losing time they are gaining something else. They are probably both members of the same club. for along with. the telephone the great hu- manfzfng element of the life Of the wo- men ofsthe country has been the club It used to be only study club. and then the ladies exchanged notes in regard to the subject for the next meeting but more than all else they became inter- ested in the club machinery. which amused them nightly for awhile They then outgrew this. and now it is a poor club that has not some social work on hand. and with this interest in their fellow men the farmers wives ceased to think so much Of their own troubles

It has a trace of a hustle and a suspicion of a tunic. It is nei- ther fish, flesh nor good red herring. but it is worn and is therefore interesting, chiefly, I should say, because it is so ugly. The only pretty feature of the frock is the collar of point de venise lace.

TN speaking on hair culture recently
 an authority remarked:
 Tt is a singular fact. but most peo- pie, even those who are accustomed to give the hair every attention other wise. seem to be absolutely careless of their locks while staying at the sea- shore. while, as a matter of fact. more destruction can be wrought in month there than can be remedied in six. SUD- posing the hair is neglected"
 It is a well known fact that in the autumn the hair falls out more freely than at any other season of the year: consequently one should really give the hair greater attention for some weeks previously and so prevent wholesale shedding.
 Before entering the surf 1t Is good plan to place a wet sponge at the back of the neck and let the water fall down the spine. This is to eQualize the tenn perature If one plunges head first into the water there will be sensation of dizziness and fullness in the head. This shock affects the scalp and tnci- dentally the hair. of course.
 Many women have no idea of the damage done to the hair by allowing 1t to dry by sitting in the sun upon the beach. The salt. wet hair and the suns rays combined have a decidedly injurious effect upon the coioring mat ter of the hair. 1t fades blond hair into streaks of dirty yellow and dark brown or black hair into burnt red- dish color. Also 1t renders the hair bushy harsh and brittle. which. by the way. some women interpret as an un- usual growth. Then the fine. sharp sand cuts and irritates the scalp to such a degree as to give the impressio,, of a scalp disease having been con- tracted. In fact this sometimes &C., tually happens owing to the itching

 In summer cleaning and laundry bills are big item in the household ex- pense. Most women with fine lingerie gowns patronize the cleaner, as they fear to have their gowns look washed, but lingerie gown can be washed and still have the appearance of being new.
 With suitable soap wash it out in a bowl of cold or lukewarm water. Wiring and hang up to dry without the dients. When dry sprinkle and press on the wrong side and the gown will look like a new one.

EARRINGS ARE A LA MODE.

r ARGE and important looking ear-
 rings are once more fashionable. Many of them are quite of the Spanish gypsy order. circular and larger than a silver dollar. For some time past smart women have been wearing very long earrings made of filigree gold or Of silver inset with pearls

 U the basque as there was in the development of the blouse. for the basque of 1880 has arrived, and from all indications it proposes to remain. We know sufficient about the autumn styles now to predict with some de- gree of surety.
 Arrival of the Basque.
 With the arrival of the basque the tunic will probably disappear. We have had all sorts. ranging from the short ballet tunic, the three tiered ef- feet the simulated and tho long Rus- sian tunic. This last tunic in it's plaited version is used with the basque. with a sash and stunning bow in tho back. It is fair to assume that ere long the tunic will have ceased to be 8 tunic and will have returned to the length of long. full gathered or plait- ed skirt.

The blouse here is in the loose kimono effect. which will soon give place to the basque ef- feet. but. like all other we'll establish ed styles. the blouse will die hard.

to purchase cakes and candies at

seldom in accordance with the laws

DIDN'T LIKE THE NEW WAY
Old Man Crawford Preferred the Old
Style of Getting His Money From
the Bank.

The bank at Pelham City had been
opened for about six months, when old
Jim Crawford walked in one day and
made a deposit Of $50 He looked
around in a dissatisfied way and
growled and muttered to himself about
new-fangled notions, but finally took
his passbook and left, and it was three
months before he was seen again.
Then one forenoon he entered the
town on horseback, whooped, ana,
fourishing gun in either hand, and
dismounting at the bank, he entered
with a yell and pointing his weapon
at the cashier, shouted:

was the polite reply.

The old man tramped forward to

Bad for DeIicatessen.

The troubles of importers of canned
goods, which have been many since the
start of the European war, took a new
turn when several of the big firms in
this city received cable advices that
consignments of French, Belgian and
English goods had been conascated
by the military authorities for the
immediate needs of the armies. One
house representing the only factory in
Belgium packing sardines received
word that the entire production Of
the concern has been requisitioned by

GROUP OF CENTRAL AMERICAN INDIANS.

fore has been that they never had a
chance. Dictators have exploited the
country. sometimes with incidental
good to the Inhabitants. but usually
the incidental good has been interrupted
by revolution.
The observations regarding the ma
tives should be qualified by explaining
that the ruling classes have very lit
tie Indian blood. They are very large
ly of Spanish descent. Most of them
are highly educated. Zelaya. notwith-
standing a contrary opinion which pre-
vailed in the United States. was a man
of considerable polish. He was edu-
Gated In France. But as ruler he
was a medieval despot in his brutali-
ties
For the educated classes politics is
the chief occupation. II their talents
could be unselfishly applied they would
make Nicaragua a prosperous and con-
tented country. The trouble is the in
tolerance of their politics. This is a

has done much to develop it's resources.
1t must be said, too, that the people
are not progressive. They have the
indisposition to work. which commonly
is known as laZiness.
The women are more industrious than
the men. At the railway stations

fields There is marked social
democracy among them They embrace

they work fairly well. They are peace
able enough in their way. but whenever
there is a revolution or civil war the
Indian blood in them comes out IN the
atrocities that are committed, ana es-
pecially in the mutilation of the bodies
of the dead.
