BEAUTY CHATS
Hair Tonics.

Hair Tonics.
Have you an effective hair tonicP I
sometimes think everybody needs one
these days; even quite young women.
After so many years of the healthy
fashion of wearing the hair short, 1t
shouldn't be so. But more and more
women are having their hair perma-
nently waved-whlch after time must
be hard on the hair, and which is often
bad for the hair in the beginning. And
of late years we've been wearing snug
fitting felt hats; these are hot and un-
healthy. Besides, many of even the
smartest barber shops and hair dresserS
do infinite harm by using carelessly
cleaned combs and brushes on their
clients.
Here's my pet tonic-which you can
have made up and can use every day
or every other day, according to your
needs. If it makes your hair oily or
sticky within week of a shampoo,
don't mind. 1t is stimulating and this
stimulation makes the scalp oilier.
Have a weekly shampoo and go on
with the tonic. 1t is-Precipitated sui
phur, 80 grains; Carbon detergent Cor
any antiseptic, at your druggists diScre-
tion), 80 drops; castor oil, 10 drops;
alcohol (95 per cent?, four ounces; Tr.
catharides, four drains: cologne, four
drains; rose water, to make eight
ounces.
Use very little of this. Get it in a
shaker top bottle If possible. Part your
hair, drop little along the parting

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June %, 1864.-Officers and the crew
of the United States mail steamer High
land Light, in the charge OF Capt. VII
liam E. Clemn1, which arrived here at
11:30 o'clock this morning from City
Point Va, say that skirmishing has
been kept up all along the line between
Cen. Lees and Gen. Grants armies, in
the vicinity of Richmond and Peters,
burg, during the last few days. Occa-
sionally there has been heavy can
nonading.
The Highland Light brought up to
Washington from the front the 9Th
Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. COM
manded by Maj. Winslow. The time of
service of the men has expired. The
regiment numbers about ISL officers and
men.
This regiment was on the left of
Grants army, five miles to the left of
Petersburg. The men say that there had
been no change in their position for
several days before they left yesterday.
Gen. Sheridan, according to reports
brought by this steamer, has succeeded
IN getting all his wagon trains across
the James River with his troops When
the Highland Light left City Point, it
was expected that Sheridan would join
Grants main army last night
The railroad has been advanced five
lLlllSS 1IOlH SIJy FOIllC nearer 10 PeUSTS-
burg by the Union Railroad builders
Yesterday, as the Highland Light was
leaving City Point, heavy firing was
heard in the direction OF Petersburg.
By direction of President Lincoln, ac-
cording to an official announcement to-
day, First Lieut.. John I. Salter, Com
pany K of the 9Th Regiment of Mime
sofa Volunteers, has been dishonorably
dismissed from the service of the United
States. He was found guilty of gross
and objectionable neglect of duty in
not properly preparing and signing the
muster and pay rolls of his company,
thereby working great hardship to the
men of his command by preventing
them from receiving their Army pay
prior to their start upon a distant ex-
petition
This is an example of the care ex-
erclSed by President Lincoln in looking
after the welfare of the enlisted men,
as well as the officers Of the Army. He
issued the order in Lieut.. Salter's case
only after the most careful and pains
taking investigation Of all the facts
had been made by the military authori-
ties.

finish the edges is by means of pulled
threads. This may consist Of one, two,
three or more threads of contrasting
color, forming border. Use mercerized
colored cotton that comes in skeins.
Measure in about three quarters of an
inch from the edge This will allow
for a quarter inch hem, with the first
pulled thread quarter inch from the
hem.
Pull a thread of the linen out about
a quarter of an inch from one end, with
out breaking, carry with the eye care
fully to the other end and pull out about
an inch there This means that the
linen is gathered slightly by the pulled
thread To the inch-long end tie a
strand of sewing silk, a little longer
than the width of the handkerchief.
Loop the end of the sewing silk around
the center of a strand of the colored
cotton. twice as long as the handker-
chief, and tie it with a loose knot.
Now at the other end of the hand
kerchief begin drawing the pulled linen
thread carefully, thus pulling in the
silk. And with the silk pull the double
strand of colored cotton. If you at
tach the colored cotton to the hand
kerchief thread itself, you will probably
break it when it is halfway through.
Continue in this way with the border,
drawing in as many threads as you like,
and when this is done on the four
sides, turn a hem and hem down
with fine cotton.

Jerry Muskrat.
Jerry Muskrat didn't know Just when
his new family arrived in the snug
home in the bank of the Smiling Pool.
You see, Mrs. Muskrat had not allowed
Jerry to come into the house for sew
eral days. At first Jerry had thought
this was due to crossness on her part.
Being rather good-natured himself, he
hadn't minded and had promptly left
every time Mrs. Muskrat had sent him
away.
Then one day as he crept up the long
hall to see If Mrs. Muskrat was at
home he heard certain sounds that
caused him to stop and hold his breath
and listen. Then very, very softly he
left by the way he had come. He had
a queer feeling, did Jerry. When at
last he reached the Big Rock at the
Smiling Pool and climbed out of water,
he looked back toward the entrance
to his home with such funny look on
his face. Il do believe" said he, that
there are babies in there. do believe
have a family"
After that Jerry hung around his
home more than usual. He was watt
ing for Mrs. Muskrat to come out. At
last she did. Of course, She had to
come out to eat. MY DEAR" said Jerry,
why didn't you tell me? How many
are there?"
Mrs. Muskrat paid on attention to
the first question. To the second she
merely answered PLENTY" So Jerry
was no wiser than before. Mrs. Musk
rat did not stay out long, and while
she was out she appeared to have some
thing on her mind. Jerry hung around
until she had once more gone into
the house.
"She might have told me how many
there are" said he in a grieved tone
OF voice, as he swan over toward the
Laughing Brook. I'm their father and
I guess I've a right to know. She said
that there are plenty. but that doesn't
mean anything. That might mean
three, or it might mean four or five"
The more Jerry thought it over the
more he wanted to know how many
children he had. He began watching
his house, or the entrance to it, for a
chance to slip in while Mrs. Muskrat
was out. At last he got the chance.
Mrs. Muskrat swan over and disap-
peared among the bulrushes around
the Laughing Brook where it enters
the Smiling Pool. Jerry, who had been
hiding nearby, took his chance. The
instant she was out Of sight he swan
to the entrance to his home and a
second later he was scrambling up the
long hall to the snug bed room at the
end
Now, I don't know Just what Jerry

"A damsel named Rhoda. -

"Rhoda" means "rose," and this rose
has kept its bloom for more than 1900
years, and Is still sweet and fragrant!
Rhoda was slave. The word rem
dered in our version, ''damsel." means
a female slave. She served as a maid
in the home Of Mary. the mother of
John Mark and sister of Barnabas.
Who would have thought that the
name of this simple maid would survive
through all these centuries?
Men will give their lives to win fame;
and this servant won it by one little act.
and never knew she had won it, Little
did she dream that this that she had
done would be spoken of as a memorial
to her" throughout the whole world
wherever the Gospel was preached.
Space forbids detailing the incident in
connection with which her name Is
mentioned. A servant in Mary's house,
she had accepted Mary's Saviour as her
Saviour. On this occasion, as perhaps
on many other occasions, she proved
herself loyal and true by a very simple
act.
Why has the name Of this poor slave
girl been preserved and this act eter-

My Neighbor Says /:

When cooking cabbage, place a
small pan with vinegar and pep
per on the stove where it will
simmer while the cabbage is
cooking. In this way you viii
hardly detect any cabbage odor.
Very thin slices of oranges are
nice in lemonade or ginger ale
punch
Do you ever have soggy pie
crust? Try this: After the pan
is lined with pastry melt a gen.
erous tablespoonful of butter and
pour over the pastry. Then fill
and cover. The bottom crust
will stay crisp for several days.
To prevent the lower crust Of
fruit pies becoming soggy, brush
it over with the white of an egg
before putting in the fruit filling.

and rub in well. Part again, an inch
away, and repeat, until you have cow,
cred the head. This Is to go on the.
scalp, and not the hair, you knowl
And rub it In well afterward give
the scalp a stimulating massage. Or,
apply this with small, stiff tooth-
brush. the brush gives the scalp an,
excellent friction while it also works
the tonic into 1t.
A weekly egg shampoo is excellent
with this tonic.
Mrs. K. L. 'J.-When using almond
oil to clense skin, pour a small amount
OF 1t into your palm and rub 1t into
the pores all over the face and throat.
After the skin takes up as much as 1t
will, wipe off the surface cream. as
the soil in the pores will come away
with the excess oil. An advantage In
using this method is the nourishing
treatment you have given the skin
while you have been cleansed 1t.

flour that fattens. and whole wheat
bread would have some starch, rye
bread would also have some starch, but
