drew anybody by
a single hair it was
accompanied by- its mates, l>ecanse a
(nil, glossy head of hair is one of the at
tributes of a beautiful woman. Nowa
days she may l>e able to supplement it
with added hair, but she must have
enough to make this look as if it grew
«n her own head, even if it does not.
Poets, novelists and philosophers have
•11 given the world their opinions as to
what color the most exquisite hair
should be. One claims the glossy black,
almost purple: another delights in the
deep brown, with its wondrous inclina
tion to rippling waves; another admires
the pale flaxen blonde; but the majority
grow rapturous and give ecstatic praise
to the perfect golden blonde. Undoubt
edly the reason for this is that it is the
rarest of all types.
The blonde haired woman is usually
found in cold countries; and the golden
hair, to be perfect, needs warmth and sun,
•othat it is often found in the tropics, and
may be attributed to the nomadic habits
of mankind, some blonde ancestor, near
or rem< >te. having come from a colder
dime. Accompanied by pale eyes and
complexion, the general effect of golden
hair is not always attractive, but when
the eyes are deep brown or blue, and the
akin tinged with a lasting glow, no one
will be found who will not declare that
of this type were Venus, Cleopatra and
Helen of Troy. Venus is described as
being with
Her deep hair
Ambrosial, golden round her luciil throat and
shoulders.
Iphigenia is pictured with “raven
glossy hair,” while Aspasia was said to
have had “raven hair and wondrous gray
•yes."
Catherine de Medicis had Titian red
hair, and Lucretia Borgia gloried in such
threads of gold that a long, burning,
single hair is shown in Florence as com
ing from the head of the woman who,
better than any other, knew howto treat
her enemies. Stat istics say that women
with the Titian hair are usually very-
strong mentally, while as the hair dark
ens the brain grows weaker and the heart
stronger.
‘ “ 111 gfftlig advice about keeping the
hair glossy and thick it's just as well to
first say what not to do. Do not allow
yourself, under any circumstances, to
grease your hair, no matter how ugly
you may think the color; be sure you
will make it a thousand times worse by
this practice, and no anathema marana-
tha is sufficiently strong to be hurled
against tliis custom. When the roots
of the hair seem dry and apparently- need
Irrigation then, with the ends of your
fingers, rub a little vaseline or some
castor oil diluted with alcohol well into
to get on the hair. The old time recipe
for keeping the hair glossy- was to give
it a hundred strokes with the brush,
morning and evening. This was a wise
prescription; for in addition to doing
what it is said to do the exercise de
velops the bust and gives a pleasant
warmth to the entire body. But, if you
follow this prescription, oh, gentle maid,
brush your hair and not your head, and
•bow that you deserve the adjective put
before your name by- doing it in a gentle
but firm way. The slaves trained to bo
dressing maids learned to brush hair so
perfectly that they soothed many-a head
ache away and many a tired mistress to
deep. To this care are due the fine
heads of hair so general in the southern
states, where many a belle can truly
wrap herself in her locks as in a mantle.
A prescription that personal experi
ence has proved to be good which will
aid the growth of the hair and jirevent
it falling out is made of:
Castor oil Two ounces
Oil of canthorides Two ounces
Spirits,.:' rosemary One ounce
Use this mixture every- day- for awhile,
and then once or twice a wfeek, as is
needed. The mixture should be care
fully rubbed in, after which the hair
Bhould he well brushed until the scalp is
in a pleasant glow.
Too much cannot ho said against the
use of heavy hairpins that drag the hair
down and break it. Better put a little
more money in buying the pins that are
to hold your hair up, and in the days to
come you will have less to spend in buy
ing lotions for it. Choose for the brush
one that is medium stiff, but tliat has
good long bristles that will go through
your hair, cleansing and polishing it at
the same time. The woman whose hair
is growing thinner and thinner every
day asks to lie told what she shall do
and if she shall cut it off. Few physi
cians who liavo made a study of the
treatment of the hair advise having it
shaved except after a severe illness. It
is suggested instead that a good tonic be
used and that care be taken to rest the
hair. If worn for a long time in one
way it is apt to grow in that direction,
so that a decided change every- now and
then is very commendable. If the scalp
is in a tolerably good state of health, and
yet might he better, then a simple mode
of treatment is its careful washing with
hot water aud pure castile soap. After
the soap hath rinse it out with water as
Hot as can be endured until only tne
good wrought by the soap remains. Fan
it dry, and do not under any circum
stances put it up while it is still damp,
as it will certainly smell moldy.
Sunsliine does much to help the growth
of the hair, it being an undisputed fact
that the hair grows faster in warm
weather than in cold, and more in the
daytime than in the night, a truth from
which one may learn much. Sometimes
the loss, or rather losing, of the hair
comes from chronic indigestion, in which
case the cause rather than the effect
needs to be treated. A tonic for the hair,
after the scalp has been made clean by
its castile soap wash, is the following:
Peruvian bark (a strong decoctioiO.One.half pint.
Brandy A wingeglaasfuL
Glycerine A tablespoonfuL
Mix this well and apply it to the scalp,
morning and evening, with a soft tooth
brush. Remember that to wash the
scalp does not mean to wash the hair,
which should he carefully- braided so
that it will only be moistened at the
roots. Much washing makes the hair
streaky in color and gives itja moldy odor.
“The positive cure for dandruff” is the
one thing that is always in demand.
The onlv absolute cure for it is a regular
brushing of the hair everyday. It is
not care of one’s hair to brush it
well one day and neglect it three, bat to
devote a little while every day to it sad
to be certain that the brushes used are
absolutely clean and are yonr own. A
woman of refinement will almost
soon use another woman’s tooth brush as
her hair brush, and there would really
be fewer diseases of the scalp if the hair
brush was considered more sacred.
Advice to those about to dye is don’t
When the pretty girl of today dyes her
hair neither her complexion nor her eyes
are, as a rule, in keeping with it, and so
she powders and paints to get herself in
harmony; atSO she isold and faded, with
only herself to blame. Lais, the great
beauty, refused to wed an old sculptor
because—a woman’s reason—his hair
was gray. In a day or two he returned
to her with black hair and again made
bis proposal. Then she laughed at him
and eaid, “How can I accept you today
when I refused your father two days
ago?” There is an amusing story told
of Mrs. Langtry’s experience with hair
dye. When she was at the height of
her glory in London she suddenly be
came possessed of a desire to make her
beautiful brown locks golden, and so
she did. When she saw the effect she
realized what a foolish thing slio had
done and started off to Paris to have
Auguste, the famous coiffure, get her
locks back to their natural color. He
was horrified when he saw what she had
done and quickly put something on to
undo the mischief.
Before the medicine had time to act
the beauty started for Vienna; she
reached the city wearing a heliotrope
toque with a veil tied over her face, and,
as she had been traveling all night, she
hadn’t seen herself for twelve hours.
Standing before the mirror she removed
her veil and to her horror the velvet on
her hat and the color of her hair were
exactly the same color! Nothing was
left for her to do except to keep in seclu
sion and wait in patience until the golden
brown locks were themselves again; how
ever, it was a lesson she never regretted.
St. Paul’s admiration of the long locks of
women has done much to keep down the
fancy for short hair which is occasion
ally born anew. It is not a fancy one
should encourage, it is not womanly and
is quite too suggestive of Oliver Crom
well's Roundheads; and as women are
born Jacobites they ought to cling to the
long locks that were the insignia of the
chivalry of the Stuarts. Next to tlio
low, sweet voice it seems as though tho
most beautiful thing about a woman is
“that robe which curious natnro means
to hang upon her head.” I. A. M
Fancy Napkins.
[Copyright by American Press Association.]
A set of napkins for use at luncheon or
afternoon tea, which were commended
for durability and beanty, were recently
shown by a leading decorative society.
Each napkin was a square of firm, smooth
linen about twenty inches each way. A
fringe an inch and a half in depth was
the finish. A few threads are drawn to
mark this fringe in making, and a hem
stitch secures it. The remaining threads
are left until the embroidery is done.
Across one corner of each napkin a
legend in geometric letters was artist
ically arranged, placed so as to read
_ ,///////’ ‘‘'I'llUlli
FANCY NAPKIN DECORATION,
from the point. The lettering was work
ed solidly in satin stitch (over aud over
stitch) with white silk floss or raw silk.
Each letter has a filling or under pad
ding of white working cotton which
gives a linn, raised shape. In tho dozen
napkins which made up the set some of
tho quotations were those frequently
seen, as, “Sweets to the Sweet.” “We'll
Sometimes Counsel Take,” “And Some
times Tea.”
There is no end of designs for doilies
and center mats of linen. These last are
worked richly in gold or bronze or white
silk, with a filling of cross stitch or feather
work or French knots. They are beau
tiful on the white damask cloth under
the bowl of Cowers or silver candelabra.
The design of oysters given may be used
for a large mat by adding a few more
shells to the circle. It is worked with
seagreen rope silk, a buttonhole edge
over a gold or white cord. The former
is handsomer.’ The accent or shading
linos may lie a lighter tint of green, and
also a finer silk in the working thread.

ATCHiSON PHILOSOPHY.
He who provotes an angry word is as
much in the wrong as he who utters it.
The best breil man is the man who makes
the least number of people uncomfortable.
The man who is trying to climb up finds
lots of heels above him, and lots of fists be
hind him.
It is simple enough to be a great man;
keep your mouth shut, and when you see
a dollar, grab it.
To be happy a man must either be so
good that lie has no evil desires, or be so
bad that he has no conscience.
If only one hope in ten is realized, it
should be comforting to know that only
one fear in ten is ever realized.
Repentance is full of excuses; there never
was a man who could admit that he had
done wrong without explaining it.
At Some time in their lives everyone
promises particularly well, but something
nearly always happens to ruin them.
Your best friend is the man who shuts
his eyes when you do anything silly, and
opens his mouth when you do a thing that
is good.
When a man has the reputatian of being
plain spoken, it is a mild way of putting it
that he never sees anything good to speak
of in others.
You will forget the face of the man you
saw doing a wicked thing much sooner
than he will forget the face of the man
Who caught him.
Do a good act, and it will he engraved in
a heart over which you have an influence;
do an evil one, and it will be left forever
in the same heart as a cruel scar.—Atch

Remains of the Mound lluilders.
The most extensive single Work of the
mound builders in the Mississippi valley
is that at Cahokia, Ills., opposite St.
Lonis. It is 90 feet in height and 2,000
yards in circumference at the base, with
a level summit of several acres. The
great mound at Selserstown, Miss., is es
timated to cover six acres of ground.
The largest mound in Ohio is near
Miamisburg. It is 08 feet high and 862
feet in circumference, and is estimated
to contain 312,000 cubic feet of earth and
stone. In many instances the materia]
from which they were constructed has
been brought from considerable dis
tances. The works in outline illustrate
nearly every geometrical design, the
circle and square predominating, and
parallelograms, ellipses and polygons
tiring quite common.

THE 8PLENDID DEED THAT BROUGHT
FAME TO BRAVE BERTHA BOYD.
A Thrilling and Authentic Narrative of
Woman's Daring—The Modest Heroine
Rewarded by Hv Government—A Ca
nadian Grace Darling.
The lamp in the pretty white light house
on the ledge was trimmed and burning.
Every one on the St. Croix knows “the
ledge,” and knows the awful tales of ship
wreck and death which used to be current
among the river folk before the govern
ment established the lighthouse there. The
liver flows swift!y over sunken rocks, some
“I can’t see anything.”
of them dangerously near the surface, and
before the days of the light a boat passing
the ledge during a storm was likely, as it
is even yet, to strike upon the rocks and go
to the bottom before aid could reach it.
But to-night, as has been said, the lamp
was trimmed and banning, and the light
keeper’s wife, Mrs. Boyd, who, daring her
husband’s long absences at sea attended to
the light, sat in her little sitting room with
her two daughters beside her, rejoicing in
the warmth and comfort there, for though
there was little wind it was bitter cold aud
very dark without.
“Oh, dear,” said Mary, the younger girl,
“I almost froze my fingers to-night bring
ing in the wood! If it is like this in Octo
ber w’hat will it be in January?”
But father will be at home then, we
hope, and maybe Brother John,” said
Bertha, the elder daughter.
“I can’t help hoping that my children
will never marry sailors,” sighed Mrs.
Boyd. “It is terrible to feed, as I do every
day, that one’s husband and son are ex
posed to awful dangers—perhaps dying or
dead—and so far away!”
Besides it would be so very nice to have
them at home all tho time,” suggested
Bertha practically. “Don’t you suppose,
mother, that my father will get tired some
time of following the sea?”
I’m afraid not. ' He understands a sea
man’s work better than any other, and ho
gets uneasy if he stays long on shore.”
Mrs. Boyd shook her head wearily. It is
well enough to sing inspiring songs about
life on tho ocean wave” and “The
sailor’s wife his star shall be,” but there
are cruel facts in the case which no ro
mance can quite cover.
They all sat silent after Mrs. Boyd’s last
words. The sigh with which they had
been accompanied had quite gone to the
girls’ hearts.
Suddenly there came a distant but pierc
ing cry through the stillness.
What is that?” they all exclaimed to
gether, dropping their work to listen.
Mary rushed to the window and looked
out.
I can’t see anything,” she declared,
after straining her eyes into the darkness
for a few moments. “Seems to me I never
saw so dark a night. Egypt could not have
been blacker at the time of the plague.”
Again that heartrending cry came from
over the water, followed by a sound of
men’s voices, as if in agonized struggle and
eaty. l
wouldn’t wondodf it. wpt-« # party of
men from St. Stephen or St. Andrew, who
have been taking a sail for pleasure and
have been caught in the darkness.”
Bertha had thrown a shawl over her
head while her mother had been speaking
and had gone to the door.
“They are in trouble, whoever they are,”
she said now, returning excitedly.
“Hark, mother, hark!”
The girl’s pale face showed that she was
greatly agitated. She felt that a contest
was going on between life and death at
their very door.
“Mother of God, save us! Mother of
God, save us!” came in desperate accents
from over the wide river.
“Oh, I can’t stand that!” cried Bertha
Boyd witli dilated eyes and with every
nerve a-quiver. “Mother, I wish my father
and John were at home, but seeing they
are not, I’ve got to go aud help those poor
drowning men.”
Bertha Boyd was 19, and strongly built.
She had been accustomed to the water
HER STOUT HEART UPHELD HER.
from her birth, and knew as well as a man
how to handle a boat. But her mother
looked at her now in consternation.
“What do you mean?” she cried sharply.
“I mean,” said the girl, beginning to
make herself ready, “that I am going to
take my boat and try to find those poor
men.”
“Oh, no!” cried Mrs. Boyd, wringing her
hands in distress, “you are too young,
Bertha—you are not strong enough. Those
men are wild with terror. They may up
set your boat and drown you! I can’t let
you!”
“But you must, mother,” said Bertha
firmly, while Mary. too. began with
trembling hands to put on her own warm
jacket and mittens.
“I am going with Bertha, if she will go,
mother,” she said simply.
The mother’s tears fell fast, but she
could not forbid her brave girls, in the face
of such a noble spirit as theirs, to at least
make an attempt to help these fellow
creatures in the extremity of human
anguish; and yet she felt that her dear
girls might be going forth to their death.
It seemed an hour to Bertha Boyd,
though in reality it was but a few min
utes before she could get her warm out
side wraps on, and launch her boat into
the river. Then Mary turned back. She
felt that she was large and strong enough
to be of great help to her sister, but the
pitchy blackness of the night and debit
ing cold dismayed her. Sobbing with ter
ror she sprang from the boat and rushed
hack to her mother’s side.
But the stout heart of Bertha Boyd, full
of the proud consciousness of duty, and of
the support of a higher power, upheld her
as she pushed her little craft off into the
trackless night, guided only by the sound
of those despairing cries.
Dip, dip went the oars under Bertha’s
practiced hands. The two anxious watch
ers shivering upon the shore could see
nothing, and soon the roar of the waters
and the awful shrieks of the imperilled
men drowned the sound qf the oars. Jnji
mart Moony snort me sue cnee Mopped.
In that brief moment, however, Bertha had
rowed more than half acroas the broad St.
Croix.
“She has reached them!” ejaculated Mrs.
Boyd. “God grant it may not be too late!”
No, it was not too late.
On the top of an overturned sailboat
Bertha found a young man almost dead
with cold and fright, but clinging for dear
life. As the little skiff came up beside
him he managed to slip into it, hut he was
so stiff with cold and so beside himself
with fright that he could be of little assist
ance in rescuing his companion.
This was an older man and very heavy,
who was in the water and holding with a
rapidly weakening grip to the side of the
boat. His feet were entangled with ropes
in speh a way that it seemed at first im
possible to free them, but by working as
fast and as intelligently as she could, and
with a little help from the younger man,
Bertha at last was able to drag the older
man also into the boat.
Then she pulled for the lighthouse on
the ledge.
“I never experienced,” says Mrs. Boyd,
“so long an hour as it was from the time
Bertha left us till she came back, and when
she drew up to shore with her burden
how wo shouted for joy. One of our
neighbors had come up while Bertha was
gone, and after we had given the rescued
men something hot to revive them he
took them to his home and gave them dry
clothes. They were the most grateful
creatures you ever saw. It almost seemed
as though they were crazy with thankful
ness.
“And Bertha? You ask ‘was she not ill
after her terrible exposure?’
“No; she was thoroughly chilled, of
course, and her nerves were a good deal
unstrung, but we took the best of care of
her, and she was not made ill.”
