Best Rind of Bed. .
Shall it be feathers, hair, wool, cotton or
excelsior? ehall we have one mattress or
two? We all want a sof b bed, end at the
same time a healthy bed, says Good House-
keeping Every one's preferenee for a
foundation is a good wire -woven spring. A
medium thick, best quality curled hair
mattress is the latest, made in two parts,
one square in shape the other to fill the

In a Girl's Bemin,
Somebody once said, "Show me a lam
I mares bedroom and I will tell you what she
I is like." It is natural tor every girl to
want her own little nest to look as pretty
as possible, says a writer in the Ladies
Home Journal, and I wish I could en-
courage her in this. Let her learn to have
around her the books that are really here, the
photographs of her special friends, the lade
bits of bric-a-brac which she has picked up
here and there and: were given her at
Christmastide or on her birthday. Pub all

Remember, though, thee it is younbedroom
and that you must leave sufficient space to

that yon must not lumber your dressing
table with trifles of no moment, when yon

is a horror and an inconvenience. Have one
or two big easy chairs, with a view not
only ot the comfort of to -day, -but of the
the when it is possible you may be a bit of
an invalid, and want a oomfortable chair to
enshrine you. These chairs need not be
richly upholstered ones, but instead of
rattan or wood made delightful with great
big soft cushions, luxuries, by the -by, that
whim bought, are rather expensive. How-
ever, the gni who is malting her room look
pretty can beg one or two pillows, not in
use, from the household store, and eovering
them with gay silk, wrough over with em-
broidery eilk and tinsel thread, can have
them to look as rich as those gotten as the
smartest upholsterer's.
Now, my dear girls think this over, and
rnake your neaten pretty as a girl's bedroom
should be. Spend a reasonable amount of
time on its furnishings, and you will not
regret it.
Care of Feet.
To relieve perspiration and remove un-
pleareent smell from the feet, bath in am-
monia and water at night ; Outage stockings
often, and always when changing rub the
feet dry with a clean towel. For chilblains,
minion salt water baths. For ingrowing
toe nail, cut the end square and close and
serape, with it sharp knife or piece of glass
a line in the center of the top of the nail go
thin that only the inner lining of the nail is
left. If this is kept up, the edges will raise
instead of growing down. Corns may be -
relieved by applying a mixture of olive oil,
laudanum =don of wormwood, equal parts,
arid entirely removed if you add the wearing
of light, pliable, aerasedefitting shoes. Don't
be afraid of the size /Nature intended you to
wear.
Why The Hair Falls Out.
Dyspepsia is one of the most common
atuses of baldness. Nature is a great econo-
mizer, and when the nutrient elements
furnished by the blood ere insufficient to
properly supporb the whole body she cuts
off the supply to parts the least vital, like
the hair and nails, that the heart lungs and
other vital organs may be the better nour-
ished. Incases of severe fevers this economy
is particularly noticeable. A single hair is a
sort of history of the physical conditiou of
an individual during the time it bas been
growing if one coul(1 read closely enough.
Take a hair from the beard or from the
head and scrutinize it o.ncl you will see that
itshows some attenuated places, indicating
that at some period of its growth the blood
supply was deficient from over work,
anxiety or underfeeding. The hair falls, out
when the strength of its roots is insufficienb
to sustain its weight any longer'and a new
hair will take its place unless the root is
diseased. For this reason each person has a
certain definite length of hair. When the
hair 1.egins to split or fall out massage of
the scalp is excellent. •
Place the tips of the fitters firmly upon
the scalp, and then vibrate or move the
scalp while holding the pressure steadily.
This will stim alatethe blood vessels under-
neath and briug about better nourishmeieb
of the heir. A brush of unevenly tufted
bristles is also excellent to tufa upon the
scalp, not the hair.
The Sleeping -Room.
The windows should be large -with one sot
of dark shades and another cf light ones,
that the eyes may be theroughly rested by
darkness during sleep ; Etna where there
arc any draperies they should be of light and
delicate texture rather than thick and
heavy ones and should baso hung that they
can mailer be run alongoil rings and shaken
rather than gathered in close folds to catch
and keep the dust.
Often, where there nre flowing draperies
at the window, the toilet table also and its
glass are draped in lace or some sort of em-
broidered muslin, which gives a dressy effect
to the room, and helps to keep the dust to
some extent from the various little china,
boxes and toilet articles there. In old colo-
nial houses it was once the 2 ustom when
there was a death in the family to draw the
cartains &arose the mirror, as if sbuttiegoub
111 the face of such solemnity, the vanities
and frivolities of life. •
There should be a lounge in every sleep-
ing -room that the bed may be- lett intact
for the night if one wishes to rest in the
'clay ; and there shoul& be easenehairs and
a sewing -chair, a writing -table, or a daven-
port ;. while the little prie-clieu which torms
a pert of the furnishingof every French
lady's bed -room or boudoir is a comfortable
thing to have forBible or Prayer -book or
devotions.
The pictures on the walls of this rooM
should always be 'cheerful light prints and
water -colors, and things suggestive of pure
and gracious and lovely thoughts; and the
books should be those winch are personal
and treasured and like friends. ,
Another valuable piece of furniture that
ahould be opened betore the washing -stand
is a screen, a piece demanded by delicacy,
even if one occupies the rooni alone'and
surely by modesty and decency where there
is more than one. It is not necessary that
this screen shbuld be a, costly or elaborate
construction; indeed, it would not ham g
enonize with the rest of the room if it Were;
but any Pretty chintz, such as covers the
lounge and chairs, can be stretched with
gilt reties on a small elothes-horse, like those
used for the aiving of linen in et laundry,
and will proye to be all that is desired,
while the screen itself will add considerably
to the beauty and sense of oecupancy of the
r oarn.
For the resb, this room is so entirely a
personal and individual thing 13122113 113 should
be allowed to represent individual tastes,
and shoula be sacred to one's self and one's
closest friends.

A Perfent Figure.
The height of a person with a " perfect
figure" shoina be exactly equal to the dis-
tance between the tips of the middle fingers
of eithev band, when the arms are fully ex-
tended. Ten times the length of the hand
or ee times the length of the foot, or five
times the diameter of the chest, froin one
armpit to the other, should also give the
height of the whole body.
The distance from the junction of the
thighs to the ground should be exactly the
same as from that point to the crown of the
head, The knee should be exactly midway
between the first named point and the
ground at the heel.
The distance from the elbow to the tip of
the middle ileger should be the same as
from the elbow to the middle line of the
breast,
From the top of the head to the level of
the chin should be the same as from the
level of the 01210 130 that of the armpits, and
from the heel to the toe.
Trottlna Children on the Knee.
The practice of "trotting" a child on the
knee of the nurse or the mother, though it
has the sanction of long practice,has liot the
sanction of common sense, and should never
be indulged in especially with infante.
Treating the adeltbody in the ratio of cor-
responding strength, the exercise would be
about egoivalent to being ourselves churned
up and clown on the walking -beam of a good
sized steam engine.

thestatistics of the hair industry, whose cen-

by the dealers is not supplied by the coif-

BATTLE WITH BATS,
minteas Experlence in a (lave meow
nociceastte Raver, lie- amity.
Eight miles east of Mount Vernon, KY.,
near Rockcastle river, is a famous group of
wild, rocky, pine:covered hills, locally
anew as Round Stone knobs. A couple of
days ago Dr. J. J. Kite, a prominent young
dentist of this place, went with, dog and gun
into that locality to ehoot quail, and for a
time he had excellent sport. After noon,
however, a thunderstorm came up and
he entered a cleep, rocky gorge with the
hope of finding shelter from the menacing
elements, Seeing an aperture in the cliff
on his left, he entered it, and was simprised
to find himself in a large winding gallery
with steep and craggy walls on either side,
and with a roof that rapidly ascended to a
considerable neight. About twenty-five
feet from the entrance was an object which
arrested his attention. It was a gigantic
bowlier, oblong in shape, and weighing
hundred of tons, lying in an oblique posi-
tion on a high, jutting ledge, with its huge
crest upreared awfully into a gap in the
cavern's roof. lt looked as though a slight
ehock or the touch of a meadleeeme baud
might displace it and cause it to come crash-
ing down. Indeed, ib was one of those
PRICEMPEL DEATII-TRAPS
ofnature, grim and sinister, sometimes found
en subterranean passages or upon jagged
precipices.
It in well known that Dr. Kite is of an
adventurous disposition, also that he is a
naturalist and geologist of no small repute.
The eovelty and excitement felt in penetra-
ting the unexplored, so fascinating to daring
spirits, allured and emboldened him. Be-
lieving that he should make some iuteresting
discoveries, he advanced resolutely into the
cavern. As he did so his faithful, dog sud-
denly curled its tail between its legs and
mule a speedy exit. At the same instant
the doctor saw two fiery 'saes glancing from,
a dark corner. Hastily rinsing his gun, he
took deliberate ahn and let go both barrels
simultaneously. He never knew what, the
animal was or what became of it, for the in-
fernal din that bellowed and rebellowed
through the cavern was followed by an
ful creel), suffecatieg columns of dust and
dense darkness, and he was thrown violently
forward and almost buried beneath Manes
of falling sand.
lZe scrambled to Ids feet again, bleeding
and gasping for breath. Terror -struck and
entailed lie realized that Ole huge bowlder
above had been precipitated Into the pas-
sage, clempletely blocking the corridor and
shutting him, like the doors of a _ponderous
tomb, forever from the light Ile saw no
way to escape.
mecTonmei DARKNESS
enveloped him. Moreover, a vast tribe of
bats, disturbed by the detonation of his gun
and the shifting sound, began to swarm
along the passage, numbers of them alight-
ing on bis person. They were of remarkable
size and fierceness, and seemed disposed to
to attack him. So vicious did they become
that he was forced to fight them off by
swift movement of his hands. They swept
forward in enormous flocks as if to es-
cape, and that quarter of the cavern was
quickly alive with them. Stunned and only
partly aroused from their stupor, thousands
precipitated themselves against the jutting
rooks and feu upon the floor dead and flap-
ping awkwardly about in their wounded
agony. They swarmed on the doctor's
back and neck like huge bees. The dashed
against his face and clung to his clothosehis
hair, and his beard, and their whireing
wings, bellows -like, whirled the dry dust of
centuries about in clouds, irritating the
hunter's already exhausted lungs.
Threatened with suffocation, he increased
the activity of his movements. He struck
savagely, and hurled bundreds of the
squeaking harpies upon the earth and tramp-
led them tinder his feet. The cavern's
rocky bottom became so slippery with the
blood and scattered
ENTRAILS OF MANGLED BATS
that he could scarcely keep his footing.
That he shouldpreserve his equanimity
under such torture was wonderful, but that
be did is manifest from what now transpir-
ed.
Shaking off his fierce tormentors for a mo-
ment he pulled off his coat, and, pouring
(worn the combustible contents of a whiskey
bottle which he carried in his hip pocket, he
ignited it with a match,and. as it blazed up
he began to whirl it, a circle ot hissing flame
and pungent smoke, about his head. The
effect was magical. The bats, unable to bear
the light and thefnmes, spread their wings
and began a precipitate flight to other parts
of the cave.
Surrounded by panic-stricken birds, even
under theepectral light of the torch, Kite
presented the appearance of something in-
human, ghoulish, demoniacal. Issuingarom
the pockets of his burning coat could be
herd the sound of bursting shells, which
mingled strangely with his unearthly cries.
Yelling and rushing from side to side of the
cavern, his hair tumbled over his forehead
in tangled masses, and his face distorted
with fury andaciespairalie whisked the fiery
branclabout, searing, scorching, and burning
many alive, until the vast
ARMY OP RORRID CREATURES
had been driven back into further recesses
of the underground chamber. Nearly ex-
hausted, his clothes and bo dy wet with sweat
and blood, he began to consider the possibi-
lity of escape from hi$ prison house. H any
avenue of escape over the stupendous bowl -
dee still 'existed, which was uncertain, it
would have been inadnees to attempt to scale
it in the deep, reigning darkness. He, there-
fore, abandoned such a hopeless idea, and
senile to find some vulnerable point at the
side of the seemingly impassable stene bar-
rier.
By the light of a sickly blaze which play-
ed over the smoking remnant of bis still
burning vestment, lie picked up his gun and
thrust the barrels into the crumbling earth
and stone at oue side of the huge rock. The
mass yielded by piecemeal to Ins exertion,
and with the energy of a man entexribed
alive and desperate for liberty, he worked
heroically, digging up the oath and pry-
ing away great fragments of reek.
Hope never forsook him, and after seven
hears of incessant labor, during which the
work ot a Titan was performed he succeeded
la making an enening large enough for his
body, end thrtough this hole he equeezed
himself. • In his bleeding and blistered
hands he held the twisted and battered re-
mains of a gun, and just as the cold but
friendly moon arose behind the tall pines
on an opposite cliff he passed out, pale,
haggard, and grimy, into the chilly night.

at 200,000 years by Professor Singley, and

The Hermit of the Sonnbliok.
The " Hermit of the Sonnblick," Peter
Lochner, wbo last year passed the winter
months in the observatory on the summit of
that lonely peak, now &Mares that he will
not stay there another wmter -unless he has 1
a companion with him. He would, he says, ;
prefer a wife if be could find one. Other- i
wise be will be content with a male
companion, who could take turns with him
in his constant task of reading the scientific
instruments. This decision on the part of
the "Hermit of the Sonnblick" really
threatens the further existence of the high-
est observatory in Europe. For the Austrian
11Jeteorological Institute lacks the funds to
support a compilation for Lechner, and the
small sum—about one hundred pounds a
year—that is wanted for the purpose is not
forthcoming from private sources. I believe
says the Vienna correspondent of the Stand-
ard, that the real explanation of the disconn
tent of Herr Lecliner is that lie is annoyed
at being forgotten by the public, who have
neither sent him Christmas presents nor
published laudatory paragraphs about him
in, the newspapers of tale. Three years
back he said he wanted a wife, and hundreds
of offers at once poured in from all quarters,
including several rich and many good-look-
ing women, but he then laughed 2113 13120 idea,
and continued to prefer the state of single
blessedness. It would be a distinct loss to
meteorological and pbysical science if the
Sonnblick Observatory were to be closed,but
some means will probably be foiled of recon-
ciling Herr Peter to his lonely but lofty
abours for another winter.

A LITTLE GIRL'S DANCER.
Mr. Henry Macombe, Leyland St.,
Blackburn, London, Eng:, states that his
little girl fell and struck her knee against
a curbstone. The knee began to swell,
became very painful and terminated in
what doctors call "white swelling." She
was treated by the best medical men, but
grew worse. Filially
T. JACOBS OIL
was used. The contents of one bottle
completely reduced the swelling, killed the pain and cured her.
"ALL RIGHT! ST, JACOBS OIL DID IT."
