shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty Of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little ex-
pense, by dissolving q teaspoonful Of
canthrox, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo

to both scalp and hair. After rinslng

EASTER LILY FROM BERMUDA
Most of Bulbs Have Come From Island
Gardens but They Are Now Be-
ing Grown in United States.

The Easter lily, the accepted floral
emblem of that church festival, was
introduced into this country about fifty
years ago from Bermuda. The little
group of islands have sent us millions
of bulbs and received millions of
American dollars in return The large
eastern cities buy hundreds Of thou
sands Of bulbs annually costing in the
neighborhood of 500 per 1000
OF late years some disease has at
tackled the bulbs, and on this account.
and by way of developing our own
possibilities, experiments in the culture
of Lilium longiforium the botanical
name of the Easter lily, have been
made, which prove that in sections Of
Florida, Mississippi, Washington, Ore
gon and California it can be grown
with perfect success. Thus, it is point
ed out, we are making ourselves indie
pendent in the way Of beauty as we'll
as in matters Of greater utility and

Rheumatism superstitions.

1t is when it comes to rheumatism
that old superstitions come most def
nitely to the fore, and there are
scores of cures and prevcntives which
have come down through the centuries.
one Of these which the BelgianS have
introduced to the fighting men at the
front is the wearing of a strip of cat
skin beneath the coat According to
the Belcians, this makes you immune
from both rheumatism and govt, and
with the trenches deep with mud and
icy water the average soldier, wheth-
or in France or England, is only too
glad to take "A chance" on any sort
Of preventive, ana it is said that
scores Of domestic pussy cats have
been offered up as a sort of sacrifice
to provide whole regiments with the
coveted strip of fur. The fad has
spread TO England where "catskin"
hands are now sold; but so far Ameri-
ca has been content with the theory
that the wearing of a steel ring. or
the carrying Of "a potato in the pocket.
would keep off the dread aching OF
joints aud muscles.
