What's Yours Is Yours.

You could have heard lively debate
in certain home here In town last
week. A thrifty wife was approached
by her husband TO throw her good
money after his bad He had specu-
lated heavily and reaped the usual re-
ward.
The gist of her remarks was:
you had yours and lost 1t. I have
mine and I'll keep It,"
This may sound selfish. but the facts
in her case are pretty common. and
from them one can generalise to advan.
tage.
Divided resources In the home are
common and thoroughly sensible. 1t Is
safer to have 1t so for both the husband
and wife. II he is in business and has
unlimited personal liability. his wife's
fortune or means may be succor and
relief In bad times.
No matter whether the woman has
inherited her capital. earned II or saved
II from her allowance. 1t ts hers and
she Is entitled TO It, Few would ques-
ton her right and obligation 10 hold It.
There are many storms on lifeE sea,
Some OF them are domestic. some
financial and some miscellaneous. In
all of them wife's economic independ-
ence, limited as 1t may be. Is still q
boon. IT may enable her to weather
crises or reconstruct her life II need be.

May IA, IS62--More than 800 men
from the Union Armies, released from
Southern prisons on parole. arrived at
the wharf at the foot Of Sixth street
about $3.50 O'Clock tonight on the
steamers Kent and Hero from Fortress
Monroe. They we're Immediately
landed and marched in a body 10 the
Soldiers Retreat at the depot whence
they expect to proceed tomorrow to
their homes. On the way from the
wharf they evinced their patriotism in
many ways, cheering the Stars and
Stripes, singing patriotic songs, etc.
These men were taken prisoners at
Balls Bluff. Bull Run, Port Royal and
other places. and had been confined in
various Soutehrn prisons. They were
all moved 10 Richmond few weeks
ago and put in Siblys pork house.
They were confined In two small rooms
on the floors OF which the dirt was
three inches thick. They say the only
preparations that seem TO have been
made for their reception were dabs OF
whitewash on the walls OF the rooms.
The announcement of their release
was made 70 them three days ago, and
at II O'Clock that night they were
marched 10 the wharf and placed on

A New Formula.

One of the most valuable oils used
now for the scalp Is oil Of cade. TN
fortunately, 1t has very strong odor
nice and clean and rather like tar, but
very strong, and most people object to
1t because OF that Yet many scalp spe-
cialists here and abroad insist on it for
complicated cases of dandruff. A de-
odorized form of this oil is put up by
one of the big wholesale drug supply
firms, but even 1t has a funny smell.
I'd suggest, II you have a very severe
and very prolonged case Of dandruff or
falling hair. If you are sure there is
something badly wrong with your scalp.
that you ask your druggist or your doc
tor what he thinks of using oil Of cade
"a personal scalp examination Is muCh
better in this case.
AS general formula. however. bound
to do good. and perfectly safe for any
one to use, I'd suggest this: Thick
black mineral oil, now available cheapiy
in tubes In drug stores. This IS unre-
fined oil, dirty and ugly looking but
full of valuable mineral elements. Use
one ounce of this, and half ounce
of the clear, colorleSs, refined mineral
oil used for laxative purposes Cthis is
to thin and make the pomade easier to
put on, a Tablespoonful Of powder
ed flower of sulphur. Mix together and
keep In small jar.
Once a month apply this to the
scalp; do 1t once a week II the dan
druff is very bad. In between times
use my hair tonic, the formula FOR
which you have. But once In four
weeks Is splendid time to use a po-
made like this. even on healthy hair.
1t clears of all dandruff or scurf, goes
deep into the scalp. nourishing and
making the skin antiseptic, supplying
oil where it Is needed. Keep 1t on
all night. If possible, pinning a towel
over the pillow case. Or keep on sew
eral hours during the day. Then wash
of. think washing the hair will be
little easier If you beat an egg. rub this
on the scalp and let it dry. process
which takes only half an hour. The
egg takes up the oil on the surface, so
the washing is an easy matter.
Brown Hair-Henna is always the
reddish color the name implies. and IL
1t is any other it has dye added to tt.
You can use the pure henna to tint the
gray hairs so they do not show when
brushed through the other hair. Direc-
tions for this should come with the

Tragedies of the Mind.

The Political Boss.

! Much has been written about the
ordinary political boSs-you know, the
big fat guy with the derby hat cooked
! over one eye. and the big black cigar
protuding from one corner of his mouth.
He's not a particularly popular figure
or an attractive one. In fact. so much
has been said about him the people
recognize him from several miles dis
tance and shy away quickly.
However. the same attention has been
paid to the female OF the specieS-~the
girl who runs her social life along the
lines of politics. using every friend and
every opportunity 10 arrive at the top
OF the social ladder.
She begins life quietly enough--per-
haps just makes bold play to get In a
particular crowd which has hitherto
ignored her.
The ringleader of this crowd is one
Janet. whom our little politician fiatters
until semi-friendship is formed.
Janet is q goodnatured kid With
wide, blue eyes and a fair amount OF
popularity. She has dozens OF friends
and once in her crowd Anne gets in
the swing of things quickly.
She makes lot of friends. dashes
about q good deal and is fairly decent
10 every one until she discovers one
night that Janet is being snubbed by a
perfectly stunning girl in a sable wrap.
Anne's quick little mind works rapid
ly. Evidently Janet isn't the cream OF
the dish. This sable-wrapped Dorothy

exception to the general run.
Anne finds that the quickest way TO
the goal Is through gossip about her
erstwhile friends. So she lightly ra2zes
Janet and the rest of the crowd who
have been so good to her for the past
months
without tremor OF conscience she
disnlisses them as vulgar and stupid
Dorothy is pleased. Dorothy takes
Anne to her bosom. Anne enters the
new crowd and when next she meets
Janet she can just barely remember
where she's encountered that young
lady before.
So 1t goes. Because she Is clever and
pretty. she goes long way.
Flattering and fawn!ng upon those
whom she needs in her ascent toward a
social heaven-snubbing and slandering
old friends whom she can no longer
use--she pursues her way Sereneiy.
She Is a dangerous enemy and q far
more dangerous friend.
She should be summed like a plague
and discouraged from all show OF
friendship,
Evene more she should be pitted. For
she will reach that stage where she Is.
