Horn Treatment for Falling Hair
Massage, Vigorous Brushing
and Applications of Strengthening
Tonics Will Prove Helpful to Im
poverished Scalps Tonic Recipes
Falling hair, an Indication of a dis
eased condition of the scalp, may b
remedied In two ways. One Is to take
, i tonic internally, to build up the sen-
ral strength the other. Is to treat
scalp The lacter does not take
rinch time or thought, and U not
'.il'.!cu!t In point of fart any person
nr. apply It herself, but the services
if a member of the family make the
treatment simpler.
t'nless the hair Is coming out liter
ally by handfuls, ua after a severe
illness, I believe brushing is most effi
cacious. The brush must have long
bristles, rather far apart, In order
that they -hall reach to the scalp, and
the stroke Is to stimulate quite as
much as to polish the hair itself. If
the scalp troubl.- Is due to Illness, and
a new growth of hair Is coming In
with the old, brushing lc not advisa
ble, I think, simply because att long
as there are two spears left In the
bead, as It were, It is possible to make
a coiffure. The old hair, under those
conditions, does not sap nourishment
from the new, and the whole is far
easier to manage. But when there Is
no appvent reason for the trouble,
and the suedding is not great, then 1
believe In the use of the brush.
Also there must be massage given
every night . tonic put on at the
same time Is likely to hasten im
provement, and a mixture I like is
tiiade of a dram of alcoholic tincture
of cantharldes, half a dram of tinc
ture of capsicum, two drams of nux
vomica, three-quarters of an ounce of
cocoa oil and two and t half ounces
of cologne. If the hair happens to be
heavy with natural grease one more
likely to agree la made of half an
ounce of alcoholic tincture of canthar
ldes, three quartern of an ounce each
of spirits of rosemary, glycerine and
aromatic vlnejar, with an ounce and
a half of rose water.
Either of these Is applied in the
same way, and chould be used every
n4ght A portion of this treatment
consists tn combliig the hair thorough
ly and brushing It, not only flat to the
head, but putting the brush under
neath and drawing the hair loose and
free, so that all parts are ventilated.
irh stroke must begin on the scalp.
the tips of the bristles are felt
lhls done, the tresses should be
i vided in two sections, one-half pin-i-.-J
so it will not get in the way
when the other portion is treated.
Then some tonic should be poured
into a sauce, and applied with a soft
tooth brush or tiny sponge to the
scalp. The hair Is again parted nor
more than an IncL from '.he middle,
and with the little brush or sponge
the scalp line Is wet. Another divi
sion not more thar an Inch away Is
made, that line wet, and the hair laid
over, repeating the partings and ap
plications until the entire scalp has
been treated.
This done, massaging should bsgln.
It consists merely tn holding the fin
gers firmly on different portions of
the scalp and benaing the knockles
so that the -calp moves, but the fin
gers remain stationary. This Is con
tinued all over the head, tbe operation
taking fifteen minutes or more. At
the finish there should be a distinct
sensation of glo In the head. With
these movements the ha'r Is not tan
gled, because the fingers do not rub it
A final brushing is given and the
hair loosely braided for the night.

COASTING SKATES.
Any Amateur Can Construct Them
for Use on an Icy Hill.
There are more ways than one ot
enjoying an Icy hill. ( The Accompany
Ing Illustrations show ft pair of coast
ing skates. These skates can bo well
made by any amateur at Httlo or no
expense.
The base 1 Is of hind wood and Is
20 Inches long. It is 3 inches wide
at the middle, and t.iprrs to 1 Inch at
either end. It la 1 1-4 inch thick and
dressed oil' on the under aide, as clear
ly shown at 2u. leaving a flat section
Coasting Skates.
6-8 Inch wide along the center line.
The front end Is curved upward, and
a strap of Iron or thin steel 2 is fitted
to tbe flat section and serves as a
runner. The ends of the runner are
turned over upon the top of the base
and help by screws. No screws are
necessary In the bottom. In uae tie
br.H of the foot rests at a point Ap
proximately midway in the length of
the skate. A stiff strap, 3, preferably
of metal and designed to fit over the
to of the shoe, Is screwed or other
wise secured to tbe base at this point.
This strap may be wrapped with pud
ding If desired, but if properly shRped
the padding is not necessary. A U-
shaped iron as 4 is fixed to the base
as shown, so as to prevent sidewlse
movement of the heel.
It will be appreciated that these
skates may be readily removed from
the feet after a coast down hill, and
as readily readjusted at the top of the
hill. To facilitate the use of tho
skates', a guide rope 5 Is used. The
opposite ends of this rope are secured
to eyes, one in each of the skates at
the forward end. When coasting, the
rope is grasptd in one or both bands,
and held taut from the eyes.
Preventive of Scalding.
A simple device Is illustrated here
with, which may be used to tilt a ket

drained without scalding the hands.
The device consists of a pair of wire
arms, which may be fitted to grip
the edges of the kettle. These arms
are provided with a pair of handles,,
which are crossed under the bail of
the kettle. A third handle may be
seized in one hand, while the other
two handles are grasped In the other
hand. The kettle will thus be firmly
gripped, and it may be titlted to any
desired degree with perfect safety.
Vipers In France.
Strangers are sometimes surprised
by the fear of vipers which exists in
some parts of France. These little
venomous snakes are dangerous both
to man and beast. Recently a move
ment has been made to protect the
vipers, on the ground that they render
valuable services in destroying ro
dents, mollusks, and other small noxi
ous animals, but a writer in the Jour
nal of Practical Agriculture strenu
ously opposes this, declaring that the
services performed by tho vipers are
of small account in comparison with
the accidents, frequently mortal.
which they cause. He instances a lit
tle neighborhood in the Department
of Meurthe-et-Moselle, where the
vipers became a veritable plague, and
where, Inspired by the offer of a re
ward, two hunters destroyed 12,000
of them.
An Electric Air-Trap.
The instrument used by Mons, Teis-
serene de Bort for collecting speci
mens of air at high altitudes with the
aid ot sounding balloon consists of a
very perfect vacuum-tube with a fine
ly drawn-out er.i. Either the rise ot
the mercury in a barometer corre
sponding with a previously determined
altitude, or the clockwork of the
meteorograph forms an electric con
tact, causing a little hammer to fall
and break the end of the tube. Air
then rushes in, whereupon another
electric contact, brought about by the
same means, allows the current of a
sniau accumulator to neat the plau
num wire wound round the capillary
tube to a red heat. This1 fuses the
glass ana again closes the end of
the vacuum-tube, thus entrapping the
air.
Gave No Warning.
On entering tbe stable suddenly the
head of the house found the hostler
and his own young son deeply engaged
with the broken tall of a kite.
"How 1s it Williams," he began, se
verely, "that I never find you at work
when I come out here?"
"I know," volunteered his son; "it's
on aooount of those rubber heels
"n'ro wearing now."

HUMAN EVERGRT-EENS.
Some Famous Examples of Women
Whose Char.. it Have Defied Years.
"Evergreens" are women who have
retained their charm until long past
the period of life when most of their
sisters have slumped into middle or

An English woman, the Hon. Mrs.
Fltzroy Stuart, writing in the Strand,
says that Am '-lean women make

"They play the game of youth," she
says, "wlttt- splendid success. Anglo

In making a dryer, one would nat

Telling Secrets at the Manicures.
. It Is startling to hear the secrets
that are told in senil-publlc places.
Most people have heard queer bits of
talk of a private nature in street
curs, above or below ground, and on
trains. But nowhere do people grow
so loquacious (unless It is at a Turk
ish bata; as at the manicure's.
Sitting with her fingers tips In
those of her manicure sets tno aver
age woman's tongue going; with won
derful rapidity. Manicures are usu
ally smiling, self-rossessed little wo
men who know how to give just the
right amount of apparent Interest
while they flicker their files and deft
ly deal wuu polishes. Often, though,
they are not listening half as Intent
ly as they seem to be, and when
they are they are as much amused
as edified by the secrets poured out
upon tnera.
Well-bred women will sit and talk
about their husbands and their
mothers-in-law and their servants or
the hateful ways of their moot inti
mate enemies to the women who
give an occasional half hour to their
finger nails. Not even a dressmak
er, to whom much Is told, hears half
as much about her customer's secret
worries and troubles as tho mani
cure who holds one hand and then
the other for revenue . nly.
Do Not Fondle Your Baby.
A human Infant, during tho first

should be handled with care, which
means that It should be handled as

Keene Hirichberg. T'.io younc moth
er who, In the exness of her pride
and love, cuddles her baby to her
Ireast and jowcrs kisses upon it
ly the halt-hour makes a pretty pic
ture, It must be admitted, but It can
not be maintained that the little one
Is benefited by her caresses. Quite
to the contrary, her every kiss helps
to make it nervous and Irritable ard
