°are Of the Hair.
It is noticeable that of the raajority of
women few have abundant Wilda of hair,
and quelity givea wity to quantity ; the finer
the heir, the lees there in ant to be of it,
It fa also a. matter of comment) then the
abundant tresses that crown the heads of
itany r1s become o eutpithously scant as
they approach their thirtieth year. The
(muse of this deterioratioe oan be traced,
in many eases, to the rage for blonde hair.
Thee not btoude by nature becomes blonde
through urt ; and topped a ie vitality by
injunous wattles, Ken deadens and falls
out:
But another cause ot this early loss of
hair is e 'thorn doubt the failure to give it
proper care, and as the vigor of youta de-
parts, the growth of the ilair perceptibly
weakens.
There are heads of hair of such vigor,
that tue matter what is done or not clone
to thane they seem evert° thrive, and oven
when silvered througheat, are as heavy and
long as in their youth, The tortunate
poeseasors of such heads need not concern
themselves about treatment. The object of
this article is to give information for the in-
vigoration and beautifying of week, thin
hair.
No comb, fiae or coarse, ahould he used
upon the ham met.b when necessary in
dividing or atranging it. Combs break the
y.ourigdealr, awl irritate the scalp, without
cleansing. The fine-tooth comb, so often
used to orape out clench:ea, is destruotive
itself to the hair. The place of the comb
should be eupplied by a goad stiff bruit,
with brietles deep enough to penetrate the
hair to the scalp. A thorough brushing, with
such an implement, will make the hair as
smooth and free from tangle as a comb,
clear out dust and dandtuff, stimulate the
growth of new hair, promote a supply of
natural oil, and leave the scalp glowing and
invigorated. Hair of any color, under such
treatment, must be beautified from ita clean-
liness and lustroua gloss. A new growth
will soon be observed, and the falling out
become less and lees, though months, and
even years, muse pars before thefull effent
of the brushing process will be seen.
All washes of soda, hartshorn or borax,
and dyes for turning the hair golden, ate
injurious to its vitality, and cause, sooner
or later, according to the ability of the hair
to resist, a bald head. Once a fortuight ie
often enough to wash %yell brushed hair, de-
spite the charms Amelia Rives picouree of
"A women's hair daily wailed." Frequent)
washing keepa the hair too dry for vigorous
growth. Use tepid water and old castile
soap. Divide in the back, plait loosely, and
after soaping and dipping the head in the
water; rub the scalp thoroughly with a nail
brush, or the hands. RillSe ail soap out in
clear water, and comb smooth while wet
with a comes comb. Dry over the ahoul
dens in the sum or with the back to a fire,
taking care nob to sit too olose, and do not
put up till dry.
A. fine tonio for the hair is ono half water
and one half Bey Rum, made bitter with
quinine. This must be rubbed into the scalp
twice a day. But it is thought to darken
the color of the hair.
The best brushes for use are those with
unbleached bristles. Cheap brushes are
too soft and thin to benefit the hair. A
good one to last, vein scarcely cost lees than
$L50. Brushes and combs should be kept
scrupulously clean. Leave them fifteen

spoonful hortshorn, and every atom of dust

only the bristles are in the water, as the
hartshorn will injure the handle and back
This can be done by putting the smallest
toilet ohne in the Wein with it. Dry well
before tieing.
The head ehruld be protected from dirt
in sweepiog and dusting with a dust. cap.
Olippmg the wade of the hair once a month
is beneficied. Professional hair- dreesers are
said to clip dexterously every hair, but
amateurs must content themselves with
slightly trimming the hair eveutly when
brushed smoothly down the back.—FGood

Oos wholly new French bonnet is perfeotly
soft and is made of one piece of velvet. How
this is done is most mysterious. However,
nigh -clan bonnet making is a mysterious
and occult art. There is a fulled crown,
and the velvet is then fulled in close all
around. The brim is simply of this veivet

"huddle" at one side. This is turned back to
frame the face and hair, and is adjusted ac-
cording to the fang of the wearer. It looks

A RIGHT KIND OF BOY.
The Young Canadian Who Speaks or ugs
wince as "we."
Don't laugh at the boy who magnifies his
place. You may see hem coming from the
post offioe a with big bundle of h'is employer's
totters, which he displays with as much pride
as if they were his own. Bat he is proud of
hia piece. He is attending to businees. He
likes to have the world know that he is at
ork for a. busy concern. One of the Law-
ra IL ea , of Boston, once said: "I would not give
heath or the boy that does not say 'we' be-
fo ha bas been with us it fortnight." The
boy who says " we" identifiis himself
with the concern. Its interests are hit
He sticks up for its credit and reputation.
He takes pleasure in leis work, and hopes
some time to say "we" in cermet.
The boy will reap what he sows if he keeps
his grit and sticks to his job. You may take
off your hat to him as OW of thefuture solid
men of the town. Let his employer do the
fair -thing by him; °heck hint kindly if he
shows signs of being too big for his place;
counsel him as to his habit e and associates,
and ocoasithally ahow him a pleasant pros-
pect of advancement A hone praise does

White Slavery in Kansas.
The sale of white men in Arkansas into
what is it praaticg, though limited, slavery
is an old law which obtains in that State as
well as in some ot the Southern States of the
Union. Lo Arkansas it is incorporated in
Mansfield's Digest, seotions 1213 and 1214.
Tbe law reacts: "When any person shall be
convicted of any misdemeanor under the
laws of this State by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the court shall direct that the
person convicted be put to labor in any man-
ual workhouse, or on any bridge or other
public improvement, or that the person be
hired out to some pinion, as hereinafter pro-
vided, until the fine and costs are paid.
jch shall not exceed one day for each 75
ients of tbeifine and costs. It shall be the
ton of the sheriff and constable immediate-
ly after the conviction of any person of any
misdemeanor, to proceed at once to hire said
perton out (if the fine and costs are not paid
or secured) ro sone person, company or cer-
parader)." The mown sale at auction of a
white moan for a fine of $55.50 was in accord-
ance with the law. The man brought only
25 oents a dry. A negro oonsteble acted as
monomer—quite a reversed of the old order
of things in the days of slavery.
Charms Against Old. Age.
People talk and write a great deal about
the necessity for growing old gracefully; but
after all, Madame Da Deffand one of the
wittiest letter writers of Louis XVes era,
was right when she boldly declared that no-
body had any businees to grow old at all*
The man or woman who keeps youthful
heart and spirit through sympathy with the
young, preserving an interest in what is
passing in the world about, manages to find
some occupation, some object on which to
employ mind and sympathies, no matter
how corlaed the -sphere of action, will al-
ways retain a fund of cheerfulness, hopeful-
ness aria patience, which, where the feelings
are concerned, elves what one might term a
mond youth. Age in itself cannot be con-
sidered lovely any more than any other
apedes of decay; but it has only to follow
the example of nature, which is so heedful
to make ruine beaming by wreathing them
with ivy, graceful creeping plants,' and
mosses, its order to possess loveliness that
cannot fail to attract and touch all who look
upon it.

has proved a great and pleasant surprise to
her relatives. She was thought to be rich,
but no ont supposed that she WAS possessed
of a personal estate of almast $500,000, near-

hold goads and apparel were fifty bonnets
dating back as many years ; seventy shawls,
some of them very valuable, and 300 glass
vials that had sometime contained medichie,
but were now empty and wrapped in white
tissue paper and packed away, There was
also a surprising collection of silks and sat-
ins. Miss Peirson was one of the noted.

Khartoum.
Khartoum still figures in newspaper de-
spatches, though there really is no Khartoum
at the present day. The town was practi-
cally wiped out of existence in the days of
horror following Gordon's death. The forts
are still maintained, but the rest of the
town was razed to the ground, and the
material used in the most important build.

Minute Beings Which Serve to Appease the
Hunger of Whales.
The food of the northern whale is nowhere
in proportion to the tine of the creature
that devours it, writes Lieut. Sithwatkit in
the Cosmopolitan for March. The sperm
whale of warmer waters "tackles something
of its size" in eating the giant a quid of that
region, but the cold vvater cetacean contents
itself with devouring millions of the min-
ute life that abounds in frczen seas. This
the whalers call the "whale -brit" or"whale
grin" and it is effete in euch quantities as
to give the surrounding pea it distinct olive
green, tingei although the little animal pro.
deicing this effect is only about an inch in
length. , These minute beings are also
carnivorous, and at the mouth of inlets, es-
pecially those fedby sediment -bearing
rivers, they find their best feeding ground ;
though by no means confined to such
places, for they are often found in demo
swarms far out to sea. Through this
" whale-hrit " the whales rush with open
mouths, straining the winer through the
hairy furze on the inside of the baleen or
whalebone, which retains the minute food
like a sieve, and than his marine majesty
knight cornmanderof the big bath, proceeds
to leisurely demolish the small fry, some-
what after the manner of crowned heads
and "pow -heads" in general. When hungry
whales fired find a feeding ground, an old
whaling captain told me that they ego slash-
ing and boltieg backward and forward

a troughful of food suddenly pub before
them, and the sea water is lashed into a
foam wfth their efforte to appease their
ravenous appetites.

The London Saindard's correspondent, wile

spect. Austria may possibly he moving
troops toward the Servian Wonder, but iu
all probability it is only to protect) her own
territory. Auetrie con hardly desire to pro-
voke it war with Rushdie at this juncture,
and Bismarck would assuredly use the whole
of his great iefluence to prevent it. But a
force of Austro.liungarian troops on the
Serviau frontier may ?.ot as a restraint upon
those whose delight it would be to rouse an
outbreak in the eo-oalled kingdom.
Everything, indeed, in Servia points to
this little place becoming a hotbed of intrigue,
and remaining so for a long tinie to come.
The Queen wants to eat back, and the
young King wants his mother, but the Re-
gents are not disposed to pub up with. this

Jade, a Precious Mineral.
The tombstone of the conqueror, Tamer-

consists of an immenee block of dark green

irom it for the late Dr Heinrich Fiecher,
of Bader, part of which was sent to me.
The rest of the tombstone is still at Samar.

Montezaman accumulated treasures.
The Emperor of China has a necklace of
fine green beads of jadeite as large as ;cher.

the finest coral. Pendant from this is a large

of Freiburg, in Belem which contains the
collection ot the late De Heinrich Fischer,
of Freiburg, the greatest authority on jade;
and them of the Eamon= ab Constance and

London there were shown large rounded
and waterworn blooks of jade weighing hun-
dreds of pounds, and called by the Maoris

color, was worked into charms and knife

The U. S. jury System.
"New York Herald:" There is a startling
sugg.estiveness about a plan which Judge
Dantels has been °compelled to adopt in order
to secure jurors for the trig of Thomas B.
Kerr. While a talesman is being examined
as to his qualifications for the jury box all
other talesman are excluded trom the room,
so that they may not know what answers are
necessary to debar a citizen from jury duty.
If this means anything it means that Judge
Daniels is cenvinced that citizens have been
in the habit of oominitbing perjury of the
white lie port in order to escape from ser-
vice. '
This is a and comment not onlyupon the
jury system as at present organized, but
upon the lack of public spirit) in the citizens
of New York. Juryduty is not only the
i
highest right, bub it s the most sacred obli-
gation of citizenship. The man who will
swear falsely tonelieve himself from his ob-
'elation is a pretty Breen potato Such a
man might not regard bribery as a serious
crime.

or.leather; sails mended here and there till
it is difficult to know the original portion
from those that have been added to is; nets
torn and darned tili they are scarce able to
hold a fish; and yet, that boat and that
crippled maohinery are the capital stook of
perhaps two or threegeneratione of a family,
the 00110Bra having probably been founded
half a century ago by the graadfather, who
now sees around him the series of hungry
generations that it would take a fleet of
boats to keep in -food and raiment. The
moment the tide runs back, the seashore is
at once overrun with a legion of hungry
people who are eager to clutch at whatever,
fiehy fragments the receding waters may
have, left; the shallow poen are eagerly,
hungrily examined, and contents grabbed
with an anxiety that belongs only to pover-
ty. At some peaces on the coast, how.
ener—the adoption of fish culture has led to
a traffic in oysters that is surprising—in-
deed, a new life has dawned on some dis-
tricts; and where ab one time was poverty
and equalor, there is now wealth and pros-
perity.

with India rubber as an experiment, and
the magistracy of Hemburg is likewise try-

labor. The cable extends between two a
points, at a distance of nearly 4,700 feet
apart, the height df the first support being
about 450 feet above the present level of the
river, and the second about 740 feet. The
cable in question is said to be the longest in
the worla, with a single exception, namely,
the cabal across the Kiatna, measuring some
5,070 feet, There are aiso two cables scion

'knows that if Francie attacked Germany she
would have ell Europe against her. He will
wait for Germany to begin the attack. Only
one circumstance might force him out of the
line of prudence, and that is a d'eolarittionof
war against Germany by Russia. Then
certainly he would attack Germany on The
Rhine with the entire French army. The
triple alliance incises still, and it would be
absolute madneseon our part to commence
hostilities single-handed." ,
