DANDRUFF.-What is dandruffi Is
it disease? Is it durable? No, no,
no. 1t is an evidence Of healthy
scalp, and as to its cure, you might as
well attempt to stop your toe-nails from
growing. 1t is simply Natures mode
Of renewing the scarf skin all over the
body, and the reason why it Is net
shown OIL other parts is that tho fric-
ton ofelothing removes it as fast as
leosened, while the hair Of the head,
not often brushed and csmbed, or
washed, prevents its escape.


Now, ifyou have any doubts as To
the truth of what I have asserted, rab
the inside Of your lower limbs smartly
with a black cloth, and you will find
you have rubbed off white powder
which is Of the same material as the
dandruF on your scalp, only more fine
ly pulverized.


will offset my advice against the
barbor's. Nine is: Brush the hair
every day. comb thoroughly with an
S S comb at least once week, and
wash the whole head in soft water as
often as convenient. You may put q
little soap or soda in the water il yeu
wish, but l wouldn't. Do net invest 10
any ofthe so-called dandruf cures, but
save your dollar to pay for a newspaper

A person afflicted with this disease can
easily supply himself with the remedies
used atnearly all the lnsbriate asylums,
and be his own physician al bis own
home, without the necessary expense
and publicity Of visiting any of the re-
formatory institutions. His laboratory
need contain only small quantity Of
cayenne pepper, pot Of concentrated
extract Of beef, and a few grains Of bro
mide of potassium. When the desire
for alcoholic drinks recurs, make tea
from the cayenne pepper, as strong as
can be taken with any degree OF COM
fort, sweeten it with milk and sugar,
and drink. This tea will supply the
same place thata a glass Of liquor would
fill, and will leave no injurious effect
behind. Repeat daily as often as the ap.
petite returns, it will be but few days
before The sufferer will have become dis.
gusted with the taste Of pepper, and
with the appearance of this disgust dis
appears the love Of liquor. The fact Is
proven every day. The extract OF beef
is to be made into beef tea, according to
the directions on the pot, in quantities
as may be needed for the time being,
and furnishes cheap, easily digested and
healthy nutriment, 1t being made 10

The corset had its origer in Italy, and
was introduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diane dePoitiers did not, how
ever, follow the fashion, but it was at once
admitted by all the ladies Of the French
court that twas indispensable to the
beauty ofthe female figure, and was, there
fore, adopted by them. The corset was
in those days, in its infancy, and it as
sumed more Of the rough character Of
knights cuirass. The frame was entirely
of iron, and the velvet which decorated
the exterior hid fightful and cumber-
some machine. This state OF things, so
detrimental to health and the cause Of 50
much personal inconvenience, not to say
torture, could not last long, and the arti-
sans OF those days contrived to give more
pliability and lightness to the metal, and
prepared the way. by degrees for whale
bone. But as reformers are always slow,
the cold iron continued to clasp the warm
hearts of the fair wearers for a long time
in its embrace, and even contrives, to the
present day under the name Of base-and
who can blame its pertinacity? The cor
set found favor in the eyes Of Louis XIV.
In the following reign the corset was
threatened with banishment from the toi-

turn, and was almost guided by the taste
Of Boucher, in whose pictures many Of
the. court celebrities figure as shepherds
and shepherdesses. But the painter de-
parted, fashion returned to the prim &c
centricities of former times. During the
revolution the corset was again forgotten,
and under the Directory it was complete
ly interdicted by the fashionable world.
The bellies Of the day took classic turn,
and aDed the Roman dress toga

classic fashion, but without taking the
corset in favor. High waists were III fl

fall Of the Empire fell also the waist, and
then came also, as necessity, the return
to the corset.

as they went on through the narrow pass.
"We are going -" To our DEATH" inter-
rupted Rip Forb in solemn voice. "Do
you hear the fallsa"


Through the splash Of water and the
dip of the paddles they heard low, dead
tremulous roar, which was the sound OF
falling water For moment the bronzed
face of Sam blanched, and then he drew
his figure up proudly, saying Better

As the Frenchman says, " H70s Ia mo,z J., !"
Long live death.


1t was, indeed, before them, for as they
shot out of the narrow pass they saw the
falls-how high they could not tell. but
the smoke which arose showed that it was
not a small one. Keep her head to it, !"
cried Rip. If we don't get through, it's
goodbye forever, Sam.


The swift current caught them, aud the
canoe, hurled forward with terrible
force, went flying toward the verge. A

low the falls Far below them the canoe

A stream, one of The feeders of the in
Vulnerable "Gayes," is ripping in chan
mel Of shingle at the bottom in the won
derful emerald limpidity that is the
characteristic Of Pyrenees waters, when
they are not turned to leaden color by
melting SHOWS. Beside it the cattle are
|jingling their bells, and tRe focksof Wild
eyed sheep are straying over the hillsides.
On a grassy knoll, uuder the shadow Of a
rock, a group Of witch-like old women
and lightly-clothed young girls are waking
up from their siesta to stare at the strang-
er. At this season the wolves and the
bears are Withdrawn into the recesses Of
the mountains. But neither the women
nor their feecy charges are unguarded.
1t is true that the men are at their work
in the woods, OF acting as guides TO the
visitors in the valleys, OF, possibly, risking
their lib rty in some small venture in the
contraband line. But there are Pyrenean
dogs Of all ages and sizes about, and, vigi-
liant as the ours in an Indian village, it is
their growing and baying that have given
warning Of your approach. There is
nothing of the cur, however, in the for
midable-looking monster who comes
bounding toward you with deep-mouthed



bark and open jaws. He stands about as
nigh as a well grown donkey, and his hair
is bristling from the shoulders down the
spine. He seems an ugly customer at
first, and he looks the uglier for his spiked
collar. Should you show signs Of alarm,
or turn tail, we should be sorry to warrant
your skin or your limbs. But when you
stand your ground or advance, in the
calm confidence Of friendly intentions, the
guardian Of the sheep-foIds disposes him
Iself for parley. A big dog on the chain
is never to be trusted, but on the loose
he is almost always to be conciliated.
Address him in the tone of good-fellow-
ship that well-conditioned dogs invaria-
bly, understand; walk on as if you were
assured of your welcome, and only too
glad to make his acquaintance, and your
friend will smooth his crest and finally let
you pat him and put your hand in his jaws.
That serves as an introduction to the Ia
dies who own him. They are pleasantly
susceptible to the compliments to the
hound which you could not conscientious
ly pay themselves, and after entertaining
you sumptuously with brown bread and
milk, will be ready to negotiate for selling
you puppy Of his family.---BAa1kz0o0d' )

SAM. S. HALL, 8 Buckskin Sam," and
5ffd Rip Ford were trapping in the Ar
kansas River regions. They were men Of
desperate courage, who had taken their
lives in their hands too often TO care for
the danger they were exposed to. OLD
Rip was man who stood five feet eleven
in his moccasins "a man whom you would

desperate battle - His hard brown face
was scanned with scars from bullet, knife
and claws of wild beasts, and his muscu-

the beau ideal of mountaineer and
plainsman, the Western hunter that the
novelist paints, and the schoolboy dreams
of and some day wishes to be- Although
not SO powerful as Old Rip, he was man
of great personal strength and desperate
courage. For many year these two had
roamed the trapping grounds together,
fighting Indians, grizzlies and wolves,
chased by night over the burning prairies

attacks ofred hends, or spending reckless

earned SO hardly on the trapping ground.


They had been out all winter, and, as
spring approached, the last cache was
covered and the trappers began to think
of returning home. The camp was built
up near the river, tributary Of the Cana
dian, which flowed through dismal can
yons in which the light of day never
shows, under the shadow Of gigantic cliffs
upon which human beings never yet set
foot, and only spreading out at places
where the cunning beaver had built his
5 dam. The river was broken by great rap
ids, and abounded in rare fish, upon which
they had feasted royalty for many day.
They had canoe, and had been discus

that in order to save time.

by far the most prudent of the two, "I---

their weapons and ran to the door of the
hut just in time to see dozen Indians
running down through the grass, blocking
up the only way ofescape. The moment
the repeating rifles began to play upon

These should be the largest, sunniest,

The reverse is too often true. Let per

lungs, and at the same time is sxhaling> a

face of the body.


Persons sleeping in small and ill-venti
lated rooms are not only liable to coughs,
colds, and consumption, but are specially
exposed to attacked from prevailing infec-

Every bed room should have careful
provision for its ventilation, especially in
the days of air-tight stoves and coal fur
naces. 1t would be great gain if we
could get back our open fre-places, even
if we had no fire in them. But the best
that most can now do is to keep the door
open at night into a well-ventilated hall,
or to secure slight currents of air from
open windows-open more or less accord
ing to the temperature. Of course, a
strong draught should not fall on one
when sleep.
