DandruH.

Dandruff is disease of the scalp
that begins usually in childhood and
continues indefinitely, unless it is sue
cessfully treated, until it brings about
loss of the hair. II is caused by a
germ, and, although there is not much
reliable evidence on the subject, it is
probably spread by contagion, either
directly through contact, for which, III
play, there are many opportunities, or,
indirectly through infected brushes in
BARRIERS shops or through an exchange
of hats.
The disease is marked at first by the
presence of grayish, bran-like scales,
dry and loose, which readily fall from
the hair to the clothes. They can be
removed from the head by thorough.
brushing and shampooing, but new
scales quickly form in their places. AS
the child grows into early adult lie,
the scales gradually become darker in
color and more or less greasy: they
fall from the scalp less readily and
show a tendency to form crusts That
is owing to the infection of the oil
glands of the scalp.
AT that stage, if not before, there is
some itching of the scalp, and an ex-
animation of the head shows the skin
TO be smooth, reddish, and often quite
greasy After the disease has lasted
untreated or wrongly treated for
some years, the hair becomes dry and
brittle and falls out, and premature
badness follows. After a condition of
dandruff has existed for some time on
the scalp, the eyebrows and, in men, the
beard may also become affected.
There are other diseases, such as
eczema and psoriasis, that are some
times mistaken for simple dansruff
but those diseases do not usually at
tack the head
Inc cure of dandruR may be effect.
ed by using an ointment that contains
five per cent Of sublimed sulphur an.
pied at night and washed off in the
morning. A more agreeable remedy
IS a lotion that contains one per cent
OF resorcin, with little castor OF,
scented with cologne water. The 10.
tion should be rubbed into the scalr
every morning for a week or ten DAYS
The scalp should not be previousl,
shampooed with soap, for the soap com
oining with the resorcin might discolor
the hair.

Snow Houses Quickly Built.

1t takes about six hours to build a
hrst-class winter residence in Eskimo
land. The material, snow cut from a
bank that must have been made in a
single storm, must be solid and homo
geneous, fine, yet soft enough to be
easily cut with saw or snow knife.
The blocks are three or four feet long,
two feet high and six to eight inches
thick. They are piled on one an
other, something like in building a
brick house, save that they are placed
10 from a spiral, inclined inward, to
form dome-shaped structure. When
finished the house is 10 or II feet
high and II to Is feet in diameter
and has the appearance of a hemis-
phere of snow set on its Hat side. An
entrance, big enough to crawl through.
is made on one side and on either side
OF it are cubbyholes for the storage
OF harness, spare food, etc. A window
is cut in the wall and covered with
seals intestines, sewed together

lleht. In lieu Of that a slab OF clear
tresh-water ice may be used. The
house is lined with skins to prevent
the warm air from the inside from
melting the snow roof Between the
skins and the wall there is ALWAYS .
layer of cold air There is also a
small hole cut in the roof for ventila
ton, and to provide a draught for the
family lamp. On the side of the
house opposite the entrance a broad
snow bench is built, with a long pole
for an edge. This is the family bed.
FOR a mattress thick layer of shrubs
IS spread upon it and over these manv
deerskins Clothes, when taken off,
are rolled up and put under the skins
Tor pillows. One blanket of skins
serves to cover the whole family.
