With curse Tore again caught up

half pint of rose water, with ten
drops of tincture of benzoin added to
prevent the glycerin becoming rancid,
is excellent.
This mixture should be used after
the hair has been made ready for
dressing by removing all the tangles.
This done, one should put about half
teaspoonful of the mixture in the palm
of the left hand and rub the right into
1t. With both hands the hair is gent
ly rubbed and patted smooth from
forehead to neck, oiling it, but so
slightly that the application is not Wis
ible. Afterward dressing proceeds In
the usual way. Occasionally woman
should use slightly wet brush after
the oiling. This must not be applied
every day or the effect of too much
water will be drying.
Another liquid for the same purpose
Is made from one-quarter of an ounce
of gum benzoin and four ounces Of
high-proof alcohol. After the gum is
dissolved the liquid is strained through
coarse brown paper and two ounces
of castor oil and half dram each Of
oils of geranium and bergamot are
added. This is put on by the same
process as was described above.
Neither of these is to be regarded as
a tonic or used as substitute. for they
are distinctly dressings, and the man
ner in which they are put on in no
way affects the scalp. To feed the
scalp it is necessary that whatever is
put on shall be rubbed into the pores.

Care Of the Hair.

women who have not the time or
money to take scalp treatments can
do about as much for themselves as
specialist can do for them in the
treatment of ordinary hair troubles.
Ten minutes attention given to the
hair and scalp each day is more bene-
ficial than infrequent professional
treatments. The remedies for the
usual scalp and hair difficulties are
simple and inexpensive. 1t is regu-
lar and persistent care that can be
depended on to repay the effort.
Cleanliness requires shampoo at
intervals of two to four weeks. If the
scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient
ly abundant this with a brisk, brief
brushing every day will keep the hair
In good condition.
To Cure Dandruff.
Take thimbleful of powdered re-
nned borax. let 1t dissolve in a teacup-
tul Of water; first brush the head well.
and then wet brush with the solution
and rub the scalp well with it. Do
this every day for a week, then twice
week, until no trace of dandruff is
found.
To Improve Hair.
The best shampoo for oily hair and
Dry scalp is an egg shampoo, made by
adding one ounce of cold water to one

the scalp and on the hair, rinse in
warm water, then in cold water, dry

MADE REAL SPORT
Bulls Not Always Easy Victims
in Arena.
One Animal So Noted for Its Fighting
Qualities as to Be Deemed Invin-
cibIe-Imported Texan Fur
n:shed Excitement.

The toreador has not always been
the hero of the bull ring. There was
once bull that earned the plaudits of
Spanish arena on more than one oc-
cason by clearing it of his an
tagonists. Strangely enough the bull
neither killed nor injured any man.
But he did put to flight every toreador,
matador, picador, chulo or banderilero
who dared to enter the ring with him;
and. although the crowds came to see
him slain, his conduct proved so
valiant that the people demanded that
his life be spared.
This bull was named Lechuzo. His
first appearance in the arena was made
at San Lucar. He so suddenly cleared
the ring of his enemies that the people
rose in admiration and demanded his
reprieve. for despite his bravery, he
would have been treacherously ap-
preached and put to death in accord
ance with the usual practice had not
the people interviewed
Again at Cordoba upon the healing
of the wounds inflicted upon him By
the picadors at San Lucar, LechuzO
drove all his enemies before him and
again his life was spared at the de-
mand of the spectators.
So in time LechuZo began to be re-
garded as invincible, and finally he
ended his days in peace at the age of
ten years.
Some years ago herd of Texas
bulls were imported from their native
land to Seville to give special attrac-
tion to bullfight of more than ordi-
nary Importance. Those American
bulls furnished the Spaniards with
some interesting sport.
The first of the intended victims
when confronted in the ring by horse
and picador wholly neglected the horse,
but paid instant and undivided atten-
tiOn to the man. The bull beloved as

ed encounter and attacked the picadOr
furiously. He pressed the fighter SO
hard that. defense being useless. the
man sought safety in inglOrious flight
by scaling the barrier erected between
the audience and the ring as a pro-
vision Of safety.
The picador was ardently and eff
ticiently assisted over the barrier by
the horns of the animal and was fol-
lowed so closely that he narrowly es-
capped with his life by reaching a con-
venient gallery. The bull did his best
to get at him, but, finding this impos-
sible, looked about for other game.
The stone seats in the inclosure at
Seville were ten feet above the ground,
and this height has always been an in
surmountable barrier for bull, but
this time things were different. for as
soon as the Texan bull saw the thrOng
above his head he stepped back, and
the next instant he was among them
Before the people could escape he
had tossed half a dozen of them into
the ring, but they were all rescued by
the ring attendants. The stone seats
cleared, the steer returned to the
ring, and seeing no one else to whom
he might throw the gage of battle, he
took the exact center of the ring and
beloved his defiance to the world.

One day he accompanied his father to
an art exhibition and for tie first time
he saw marble statuary. His father
explained to him that many Of the
busts represented real people and
how the artist cut them out Of
marble.
On the way home he was unusually
quiet. Finally he exclaimed: "Oh,
