So f.ucji has been said about the manage ment of the hair in such an indefinite man ner, that we propose, if possible, to en lighten our readers on its correct manage ment. There can be no doubt if the hints contained in this article be acted upon, that many persons who are now losing their hair wiil stop its falling out and renew its growth. The first thing to be looked to is keeping the scalp clean. Of course the application of oils, pomades, etc., clogs up the circulation, and causes disease in the follicles from which the hair grows. The head should therefore be thoroughly washed, at least once a moutb: to assist in this operation, a sbampooning mixture i 3 necessary; this may he made by • taking a j ounce of powder borax and two drachms of strong spirits of bartshurne, placing in a bottle, holding a fhll quart, and filling with water. The mode of application is simple and effective. Saturate the hair thoroughly with the liquid, using the hands until a firm lather is raised; then rinse thoroughly with cold water; the scalp will be found beautifully white and clean. The falling out of the hair depends fre quently on an atonic condition of the scalp which may be remedied by using a wash composed of a strong infusion of sage. This is readily made just as you would make a strong cup of tea, adding to each quart of the mixture an ounce of alcohol, to prevent fermentation. If the sage can not be readily obtained a strong decoction of the common garden box leaves is equally effective. This is peculiarly adapted to those persons who are losing their hair consequent upon attacks of fever or from general debility; The scalp should "be thoroughly wet with it every morning. The various tonics that are sold consists mostly of some oil diffused in alcohol colored and scented. They are heat ingin their nature, and often do barm. The best oleaginous application is a mixture of castor oil and glycerine, equal parts of any essential oil being added to perfume it. It will be found in a year or so from- now that the chignon generally worn will cause bald ness, by the constant heat and constant irri tation engendered. In the removal of dan druff the "shaiDpooning" mentioned in this paper will be found aspecific, removing it and preventing its return. In the decliue of life, when the hair gener ally falls, I can recommend the following as a long tried recipe, and a most effective one: Castor oil, half an ounce ; tincture of cantha rides; tincture of ginger, one drachm of each; sulphate of quinine, one scruple : bay rum, seven and a-half ounces ; oil of oraoge, one drachm. It should be thoroughly applied to the roots of the hair with a soft hair brush. About twice a week will be found sufficient. Severe friction with a hair brush, on the scalp, retards rather than advances the growth of the young hair. M. It.' HOW GOOD FARMERS SAVE MONET. They take good papers and read them. They keep an account of farm operations. They do not let their implements lie scat tered all over the farm, exposed to the snow, rain and heat. They repair their tools an J buildings at the proper lime, and do not suffer a subsequent three fold expenditure of time and money. They use their money judiciously, and they do not attend auction sales to purchase all kinds el" trumpery because it is cheap. They Bee that their fences are well repair ed, and their cattle are net found grazing, in the meadows, grain fields, or orchards. They do not refuse to make correct experi ments in a small way, of many new things. They plant their fruit trees well, care for them and of course go*, good crops. They practice economy by giving good shelter during the winter to their stock, also good food taking all that is unsound, half rot ten, or mouldiy out. They do not keep tribes of cats or snarling dogs around their premise . who eat more in a month than they are worth in their whole life time. Lastly, they read the advertisements, know what is going on, ar.d frequently save money by it. Successful farming is made by attention to little things. The farmer who does his best, earns his money wiih best appreciations, and uses it with the best results. .Such men are the salt of the earth. o WINTERING GERAXICMS IS Moss.—Last winter, we kept a number of large geraniums in dry moss, and propose to do the same thing this season, as it is a very cheap meth od of preserving plants not wanted to deco rate the house with winter. The plants were taken up soou after the first light frost, the soil shaken from the roots, and then all the ieaves andyoungsuccuieut branches removed. Some moss that had been previously take-, from the swamp and thoroughly dried was spread over the bottom of a box ; upon this we placed a layer of plants, then more moss, and so on alternately until the box was hill. The box was then set away upon a ebeif in a dry, warm cellar, where it remained undis turbed until spring. The plan's came Out in ! good condition, and have growo well this i summer in the open ground, and are now in : full bloom. There is danger of the plants : rotting if the cellar is damp. A r. arm room I will probably answer as a cellar. FARMING.—It is wiih farming as it is with ' every other business: it must be attended to I or it will not pay. This is more so now than formerly. For now machinery does the work j of hand labor; and science i 3 adding success j which the common farmer cau not reach— hence be is found in the rear of profit and general success. There must be intelligence- j "Skinning'' land to be among the things j that were. This, however, is less the ease on the prairies than in the "east. An old fashioned farmer stands but poor chance there. He is constantly selling out to "bet ter his condition,'- which is nut done by buy ing another farm, lie is generally glad to get rid of his, and not get him another "incum brance. \i e must, then, as the country im proves, improve with it, and that by inform ing ourselves, both by reading ar.d conversa tion with those who know. How TO HAVE EARLY GRASS NEXT SPRING. —ln crd ,-r to have early grass, cither for grazing purposes or mowing, the land must be made rich by the application ot manure. In our latitude, during the month of Sep tember, if not already seeded, the soil should he thoroughly pulverized, manured, smoothed off, and seeded. If the grass and clover seed were sowed last spring, all the better, as equal parts cf grass and clover will make more desirable feed than either grass or clover alone. Allow she young plants to grow until cold weather, without permitting light amimals to graze in the field. Then be tore snow falls, apply a libera! dressing of barn yard scrapings, or finely rotted compost, spread evenly over ihe surface. Rich land, it seeded in the spring of the year with earlv red clover and orchard grass, will produee a crop sufficiently large to be mowed bv the first of June; provided the growth of the young plants has not been seriously retard ed by the boofs and feet of domestic animals. IV here mack constitutes a large proportion of the soil, dressing of argillaceous clay, after the grassa has ceased to grow, Will subserve the purpose of manure to a great exieut .—Exchange. E&aaiorw. WHAT ia the difference between a dandy on a spree and a little dog'a tail ? The one is a puppy on a bender, and the other is a bender on a puppy. A TOT:KG lady studying Freneh, and finding that "belle'' meant "fine," told somebody in a iettcr that we bad a great deal of beiie wentber lately. A MAX by the name of Death lost $50,000 by the burning of bis distillery at Warsaw, Illinois, the other day. It was the first time that death ever lost anything by the whisky business. A GESTIXMAS being asked whether he was seiiously injured when a steam boiler explo ded, replied that he was so used to being blown up by his wife,' that mere steam had no effect on him. BEFORE love comes in at the door, it would be well to take a peep throngh tbe key hole. He might see something that would prevent him from entering. EXEMPT.—A mats who had been drafted in a town in New York, hung himself because be didn't want to go soldering. The Coro ner was sent for, and returned the wise ver dict of "exempt," LOW-KECKED shirt 3 are pronounced the la test 'stjjje' for nice young men. Jnst ima gine a sweet youth with his hair parted in the middle, a brass headed cane, and a low-neck ed shirt. TUB other day a lady ia Carrol county, Georgia, gave birth to twins. On the same day and in the same house, two of her daugh ters brought forth twins—all boys. They must have bad a Bovs-terous time in that mausion. A COUSTRYMAS applied to a lawyer for legal a ivice. After detailing tbe circumstances of the case, he was asked if he had stated the facts as they had occurred. "Oh, aye, sir," rejoined he, "I thought it belter to tell you the plain truth ; you can put the lies to it yourself." "GET out of the way, boy ! get out of the way!" said a gentleman on horseback to a boy in the road. "My horse don't like donk eys." "Doau't he?" said the boy. "Then why d ain't he kick you off." GENTLEMEN of tbe jury, said an Irish bar rister, "it will be for you to say whether this defendant shall be allowed to come into court with unblushing footsteps, with the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth, and to withdraw three bullocks out of ray client's pocket with impunity." Do you say your prayers regulaily -every night and morning asked a sympathetic lady of a little shoeblack, to whom she had just given a trifle. I alluz sez um at night mnm, but any smart boy can take care of bis self in the day time, wa3 the little rogue's re ply. TIU: boys of Chatanooga must be dreadfully sharp. Here is a case in point, quoted by tbe admiring journals of Tennessee. "A young fellow was asked by the Squire whether he understood the nature of an oath?" "Just step out into the street and give me a chance to cuss you." was the reply. Ax exchange says, that some weeks since, a woman, in one of the connties in the south west of this State, hur.g herself because her husband went to California. The next week, more than a dozen husbands iu the same neighborhood started for California, but their wives couldn't see it. They wouldn't hang worth a cent. A LADY, whose deceased husband had not enjoyed a continuous flow of felicity during l fife, was asked at a seance one night if she would like a communication from his spirit. "I believe not," sbe said, "If he's got no more spirit in the other world than he had in this, it's not worth bothering about." MH. G. was a most inveterate punster. Lying very ill of the cholera, bis nurse pro posed to prepare a young, tender chicken. Hadn't you better have an old hen ? said G., in a low whisper—he was too ill to speak loud er--for she would be more apt to "lay" on my stomach. C<. fell back exhausted, and the nurse fainted. AFFECTED young lady, seated in A rocking- I chair, reading the Bible, exclaimed: "Mother, here is a grammatical error in the Bible." Mother, lowering her spectacles, and ap proaching the reader in a very scrutinizing attitude, says : "Kill it! kill it! it is the very thing that has been eating the leaves and book tnarkg." AT a railway station an old lady said to a very pompous looking gentleman, who was talking about steam communication, "Pray, s:r, what is steam?'" "Steam, ma'am, is— ah ! —steam is steam." "I knew that*chap couldn't tell you," said a rough looking fel low, standing by ; "but steam is a bucket of water in a tremendous j iration." A GENTLEMAN was seated with other per sons in a room where a country girl sat bolt upright, and utterly sileut. Silence, indeed, fell upon the entire party, and the gentleman first alluded to said in what he supposed to be an almost inaudible tone of voice : "Awful paws." "I gues3, Mister," exclaimed the ir. F ' iant coantry lass, jumping up, "you'd have awful paws, too, if yon had to do the scrubbing tbat I does." A rorxG man with a fearful physiognomy made his appearance before a Detroit artist, the other day, to have his picture taken "for Sary." lwo or three efforts were made, the result each time being so ugly a picture that the unhappy young man finally became dis couraged, Ihen a bright idea struck him. He sat with his back to the camera, and had his back and the rear portion of his head taken. This he called a juke on his uose, as well as a fulfilment of bis promise to the girl ot his heart. Aoi'NG man, do yoa believe in a future state? "In course I does ; and, what's more, I intend to enter in it as soon as Betsey gets her wcuding things ready." "You mistake me; do jou believe in a future state of re wards and punishments?" "Most assured ly; if I rjjculd cut mugs with a red headed w iman,! should expect my hat indented by the first broomstick she could lay her bauds on." "Go to, young man, you are incorrigi ble. Go to." "Go two. If it wasn't the law ogin bigamy, darned if I wouldn't go a dozen. But who supposed, deacon, that a man of your years would give such advice to a person just starting in lile?" This took the deacon down. THE following esssy, on "The Ox," is pub lished just as it came, smoking hot, from the brain of the intellectual giant who "writ" it Master Spiker dates from Terre Hante, Ind.: "Oxen is a very slow animal, they are good to break ground up. I would rather have horses if they didn't have koliick which they say is wind kollected in a bunch, which makes it dangerser for to keep horses than an ox. If there was no horsss tbe people would have to wheal thare wood on a whealbarrow. It wonld take them two or three days to wheal a cord a mile. Cows is useful to. I have heard some say that if they had to be tothfir or an ox, they would be a cow. But i think when it cum to have their tits pulled of a coid morning they would wish they wasn't, for oxen don't generally raise calves. If i had to be enny i would rather be a heffur. Bat if i coodeut be a heffur and bad to be both i wood b an ox." ISAAC Sri sou ijl VERY THING in the BOOK and STATION JURY line for sale at th Inquirer Book Store.
