ATLAS BATHS.

To these largely may be attributed the cough and the cold, indigestion, billiousnesS and a host of other bod fly ailments But when these appear, or even before, it is no mistake to consult the physical specialist, Alex. Maisef at the Atlas Turkish Baths.
 There are bath treatments for nearly every form of bodily ill. Scores of such treatments that the public knows little about, but which keep the circulation in proper form, drive the impurities from the body, .ake off fatty tissues, or add flesh.
 When in doubt visit the Atlas Baths and inquire. Free advice is the motto there. Seeing is believing.

An anomaly which often struck me in the character of my friend
 Sherlock Holmes, was that, al though in his methods of thought he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was none the less in his personal habits one of the most un- tidy men that ever drove a fellow
 lodger to distraction. Not that l am in the least conventional in that re- spect myself. The rough-and-tumble work in AfghaniStan, coming on the top of a natural Bohemianism of dis position, has made me rather more lax than betits medical man. But with me there is a limit, and when find a man who keeps his cigars in the coa1-cuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transhxed by a jack-knife into the very center of his wooden mante1piece, then l begin to give myself virtuouS airs. I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open air paStime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humors, would sit in an arm chair with his hairItrigSer ad a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed ito adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V.

 Our chambers were always full of chemicals and of criminal relics which had a way of wandering into unlikely positions, and of turning up in the butter dish or in even less de- sirable places.

BEAUTY CHATS
THE ExTRA-HENNA SHAMPOO.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

THE EXTRA-HENNAS SHAMPOO.
 Sometimes I find that my readers are a little confused about the diff ference between the henna shampoo which is simply cleansing; the extra henna shampoo which is to color the grey hairs and so make them less noticeable in light or dark hair; and henna when used as a dye.
 The distinction is this:-the henna shampoo is made of henna and soap. It cleanses the hair and its only ac- ton is to give it more brilliant tone. Henna used as dye makes the hair auburn. but the extra henna shampoo does not change the color of the hair at all The only thing it does is to make the grey hairs golden yellow and so keep them from being so very conspicuous.
 This is the only method to use for the extra-henna shampoo:-shampo the hair as usual, using castillo or any soap containing pure oil. Rinse the hair with hot swater and gradually with cooler water until it is free rom soap and from dirt. Mix up small quantity of powdered Egyptian henna with hot water until you have paste about the consistency of thick cream Cover the scalp with this, while the hair is still wet and while the paste is still hot and let it stay on for exactly three minutes.
 Rinse off with hot water and then cold, and let your hair dry. The scalp absorbs enough from the henna to color the hairs which have no coloring matter in them; in other words. the conspicuous grey hairs. The rest of your hair will not be changed, except that it will probably be a little glossier.
 Within three days you will see the full effects of the henna. If the three minute treatment doesn't sufficiently color the hairs leave the henna on four or five minutes. You can only tell exactly by experimenting, but if you follow these methods exactly, you can color these hairs, without effecting the shade of the rest of your hair.

 Even in bridal gowns the long skirt is conspicuous because of it's absence, but somehow we rather like this fea- ture To begin with, it makes for the comfort, to say nothing of the grace, of the bride as she walks to the slow strains of the wedding march, and then, too, any possible upsi ghtliness of effect is counteracted Or entirely done away with by the long train that is it's inevitable com clement.
 Over in Paris-gay once more-it is rumored that the fair bride wears a gown of white velvet, fur trimmed, for being the blessed among peltries.

Sneeze Pest Went Coed

..This is my first attempt at any thing like this, and I think it fun even if I did sit up half the night trying to think up words to rhyme. Guess I'm not intended for a writer of verse but I'm going to keep on trying every week if I don't get brain fever in the attempt" writes one con- tributor, who should be encour- agement to all those who are strug- gIing to make their verses perfect. Saturday night marked the close of the Sneeze Pest contest. Best verse winner will be given two tickets to morrow's issue.
 Here are a few more Pest verses:
 Have Pill! What is your name, Sir Pest, You make a bad guest, In the movies,
 You know you mustn't SneeZe,- If you will prevent disease Swallow all the pills you can, You, SneeZe Pest Man.

 "tOf these servants the one who had been longest in our service was Brunton, the butler. He waS-a young schoo1master out of place when he was first taken up by my father, but he was a man of great energy and character, and he soon became quite4 invaluable in the household. He was a we11-grown, handsome man, with c splendid forehead, and though he has been with us for twenty years ho cannot be more than forty now With his personal advantages and his ex- traordinary ,gifts-for he can speak several languages and play nearly every musical instrunlent-it is won derful that he should have been satis- fled so long in such a position, but suppose that he was comfortable, and lacked energy to make any change. The butler of Hurlstone is always a thing that is remembered by all who visit us.
 But this paragon has one fault. He is a bit of Don Juan, and you can imagine that for a man like him it is not a very difficult part to play Ra a quiet country district When he was married it was all right, but since he has been. a widower we have had no end of trouble with him. A feW=monthS ago we were in hopes that he was about to settle down again, for he be- came engaged to Rachel Towels, our
 
 second housemaid; but he has thrown her over since then and taken up with Janet TregeIlis, the daughter of the head gamekeeper. Rachel-who is a very good girl but of an excitable Welsh temperament - had a sharp touch of brain-fever, and goes about the house now-or did until yesterday like a black-eyed shadow of her former self That was our first drama at Hurlstone; but a second one caLna to drive it from our minds, and it was prefaced by the disgrace and dismissal of butler Brunton. This was how it came about. have said that the man was intell- gent, and his very intelligence has caused his ruin, for it seems to have led to an unsuitable curiosity about things which did not in the least con-. cern him. I had no idea of the lengths to which this would carry him, until the merest accident opened my eyes to it.
