To Destroy SUPERFLUoUs HAIR.
Take one o. fresh lime, one drachm pure
potassa, one drachm sulphuret potassa'
Reduce to a fine powder in awedgewood
mortar. If the hair be first washed or
soaked in warm water, and g thin paste
Of the above applied while warm, II Will
so effectually destroy the hair IN nVe or
six minutes that it may be removed Dy
washing with flannel. 1t is a powerful
caustic, and should, therefore, be remover
as soon as it begins to intlame the SKID,
by washing it off with vinegar. Inc
process softens the skin, and greatly I'M
proves its appearance.


To CLEAN SLK.-Take quarter OF
a pound of soft soap, teaspoonlul Oh
brandy and pint of gin; mix all wei
together, and strain through CLOTH WIN
A sponge or flannel spread the mixture on
each side of the silk without Creasing ~;
wash it in two or three waters, and IRON
ON the wrong side. 1t will look as good as
new, and the process will not injure silks,
even of the most delicate colors.


BATHE weak eyes with salt and
water, pretty strong, two or three times
day, and at night bind on a compress,
wet with clear cold water, soft. Ayold
facing either sunlight or gaslighti resa
by "students' lamp" but never 10 the
twilight. Study regularity in habits;
If lady, wear blue veil when out Oi
doors.

To MAKE MANaoEs.-Take large bell
peppers, cut off the tops and take out
the seeds. Have ready quantity Of
finely cut cabbage, scraped horse radish,
white mustard seed, and, if convenient
nasturtium seed. Stuff each pepper, put
ting in each two or three whole cloves
and allspice. Next, put the peppers in
salt water, and let them stand twenty
four hours, after which place in stone
jars and cover with scaIding vinegar,
keeping them closely covered. Some
add little turmeric and celery seed to
the stufiing.


CARROTS FOR Eeas.-It is not gener-
ally known that boiled carrots, when
properly prepared, form an excellent sub
stitute for eggs in puddings. They must,
for this purpose, be boiled and mashed,
and passed through coarse cloth or hair
sieve strainer. The pulp is then intro
duced among the other ingredients of
the pudding, to the total omission OF
eggs. A pudding made up in this way
is much lighter than where eggs are used,
and is much more palatable. On the
principle of economy, this fact is worthy
of the prudent housewives attention.


TOMATO VINEGAR.--Take one bushei
of ripe fruit; wash and slice, and thro"
them into a tub, aud let it stand until
strong vinegar odor is given of. Then
strain the juice off, and add one quart ol
heavy Orleans molasses. Put IN kegs OF
jugs, and let it stand until the process
is complete. Vinegar made in this way
is equal to the best. The above has been
tried.

Az IMPORTANT LIQUoR DEcIsIoN.-A suit
was brought at Middetown, in the State of
New York, in 1915, against the landlord and
tenant of liquor salS on for damages caused
by the loss of hcfse which was driven to
death by the plaintiffs son while intoxicated
by liquors supplied to him at the saloon.
The plaintiff obtained verdict in his favor,
which was confirmed at the general term, and
the landlord carried the case, 50 far as he was
concerned, to the Court Of Appeals The ac-
ton was brought under the law Of 1873,
known as the civil damage law, which makes
the owner or lessor of premises on which in
toxicating liquors are sold jointly liable with
the tenant for any damage done by an iutoX-
icated person who has been supplied with
liquor on such promises The Court Of APP
peals now afiirms the judgment of the lower
courts, thus establishing the liability of own
ers or landlords of any premises in the State
used in the liquor business for damages done
by any drunken person who may procure
liquor at such places. If n man should get
intoxicated in q New York saloon and commit
a murder, infict a wound or do any injury to
person or property while in that condition


the landlord or owner of the premises would


under this decision, be liable not only for
damages actually sustained by the parties in
interest, but for exemplary damages as well.

Nothing can re- store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.

Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara- tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for

THE agricultural intelligence from the
West and North is to the effect that the
promise of large crops of wheat and other
cereals is unprecedented. This is crafty
ing but with this information comes the
fact that prices for these commodities rule

but for the reason that there is serious
shrinkage in all values of property. Thus
it is that good Providence brings compen-

Low prices are compensated by an increased

it had spread to the paint shop, and it was
evident that the buildings were doomed

for blind man; music does not please;
a poor beast does not know one tune from

tires of water, sauce. and brown bread and
butter, protest can sit for whole night
talking to well-regulated, kindly woman.

Frank, and make the evenings entertain

he is bound to he respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your morals, men,
depend upon it. Our education makes us
the most eminently selfish men in the world,
and the greatest benefit that comes to man
from woman's society is that he has to
think of somebody to whom lie ia bound
to be constantly attentive and respectful.

Let it be barn or manager,

And if others will disown him,

Let them do it, I'll befrieEd him

The first, and perhaps the most

career of our children, is our own
conduct. We have little reason, and
no right, TO expect them to act Bet
ter than we give them an example.
If we are hasty, violent, unreasona-
bic, intemperate or profane in our
speech, careless in our habits, i'm
pure in our lives, we have every
reason to expect that our children
will grow up to he like us. Nay,
we may properly fear that they will
make bad haste to distance us on
the evil road; for experience, and
the terror OF the law, and a whole
some restraint from society, keep us
somewhat i'm check. To the child
all these things are wanting. Think
of the effect on boy, of seeing his
father in a rough-and-tumble fight,
or of hearing him threaten to kill
neigbbor, perhaps a member of his
own familyi This is the kind of
education too many children have
who are growing up TO be your fel-
citizen and mine, and whom
some reckless demagogue will try to
persuade ought to be at the top of
society. Think of the influence on
a child of habitual coarseness, harsh
ness and the want of self-control In
those who stand to him as his types
of men and women! Let il never
pass out of our thought; let il cling
to us and haunt us day by day, that
our children are deriving a large and
formative part of their education
from our daily manners, aud espe-
ciallv from the tone of our daily life.

And kindly works. as growing old,
Men for each other do and feel.

And be his station low or high,

In the scenes where folly sits in state,
In wan-faced Sorrows house Of gloom,
