CARE OF THE HAIR. Jtothluff Ad tin More to \V oiun !»*■ At truettveil ens Than u UL'COlU iiitf Coifl'urt*. 1 There is nothing that affects the ap pearance more than the arrangement ol the hair. When a woman linds a etyle that is becoming to her, she tliould not change it to follow every ca price of fashion. If parting the hair in the middle looks better than a pompadour, wear it in that way by all means. Those who are blessed with curly hair need not worry about waves end ringlets about the forehead, but if it is necessary to use crimping pins, a good bandoline is a great help. It may be made by soaking quince seed in water all night. Remove the seeds in the morning, wet the hair that is to be crimped with the water and roll it up while it is wet. It will stay crimped a long time. If you wish to have pretty hair, it is in cessary to keep it clean, yet it is often injured by using ammonia or strong soap in washing. Fill a wash bowl half full of warm, soft water and dissolve a teaspoonfui of borax in it. Wet the head with the water, rub enough good toilet soap 011 it to make a strong lather and wash the scalp vig orously. Borax is perfectly harmless, yet it is an excellent cleanser, and very little soap is needed. Immerse the long Lair in the water and rub it between the hands as you would a soiled garment to wash it. Rinse with warm, clear water, wipe as dry as possible with a towel, then spread the hair over the shoulders and sit near the fire, or in the open air if it is warm enough, so it will dry quickly. Rub a little vaseline 011 the hair to keep it from flying about. This restores the oil that is removed by washing; at 110 other time is any oil or pomade necessary. The hair should never be rolled up while it is damp. Dandruff may be removed by the fre quent application of a solution of borax, using a teaspoonfui to a small cupful of water. Rub it fnto the scalp, then comb and brush the hair care fully. Bay rum and borax make an ex cellent hair tonic, stimulating the scalp to healthy action and causing the hair to grow.—Ladies' World. THE MINIATURE BROOCH. It In <(nlte n Novelty nnd Mnkea n Tender Kerpunke for Either Man or Woman. A new brooch has made its appearance of quite original shape and design. It is in the form of a star. This brooch is the work of several trades. It is composed of metal and a photograph, both nicely finished by the jeweler. The photographer takes the photo graph upon a piece of sensitized metal THE STAR. BROOCH. vhlch is then developed until the pic ture is clear and highly finished. Final ly it receives a coating of a substance which looks like enamel. This is done at the jeweler's, who also polishes the piece of jewelry until it is brilliant. There is a new enamel process by which photographs can be affixed to a fctar of silver, after which all is finished with a delicate transparent enamel. A brooch of this kind is decidedly pretty and makes a tender keepsake for man or woman. When Forclnic Flower lliilltn. When bulbs are forced, water for the time very heavily, so that it is a cvrtainty that the water has penetrated to the bottom of the pot.

Cnre of the ISyeltiKhen. The ancients made an art of the cul tivation of the eyelashes. It was rec ognized that, besides adding to the ex pression of the eyes, the lashes pre served them from the dust, cold wind and too glaring light, all of which tend to irritate and often inflame the eye. It is therefore not a vanity to end< avwr to obtain them and then preserve them from falling out. A little pure vaseline applied to the eyelashes every night will aid their growth and strengthen them. Clothe* to Match the Kyc*. Have you never learned that the best dressed women are those who wear clothes to match the color of their eyes? It is a fact that tliis is usually tin? n.ost becoming color to every one. A girl with gray eyes never looks so well us it: a gray gown, and a gir'. with blue eyes appears her best in biue.

Long stretches of sucle or kid are consigned with regret to the rair bag a.'id it was only recently and quite i»y chance that a modern piece of Hnnis kid work auc a curious old letter case, met with in a curiosity shop, appeared to throw some J light on the question.

The foundation | is of deep plum-colored velvet, about ! six inches long; the cut-out ornament j laid over this is white kid, pasted upon | blue paper, and fastened down by long ' flitches of silver thread; the spangles | are silver, fixed down by short lengths I of siher bullion brought round to forir ! a very diminutive loop.

The little tassels which i complete this dainty little object art of orange silk and a twist of green is i passed through the little silver loops at top. An antique letter case is yet more simple as regards materials as it requires nothing but the very thin leather of which the original is formed, or kid gloves of various tints pasted onto thin cartridge paper, or better still, perhaps, the glazed linen K&td for blinds.—Chicago News.

Our grandmothers placed their faith in simples, but while we have the vagu« notion that herbs are good we have not the remotest idea what they are good for. Every housewife should have ou her shelves to aid in cooking fennel, marjoram, sage, parsley, mint and thyme. Elder and orange flowers, bay and basil are also used by clever cooks. Lime tree flowers and tansy, the broom and dandelion furnish excellent teas The graceful Solomon's seal makes a dainty dish of greens, while its roots dried and ground into powder have been made into bread. Even the herbs dried and kept for their fragrance, such as rosemary and lavender, have medici nal qualities. How to Cook I*ca Soup. This very favorite soup needs a quart of peas, three quarts of water, a stick of celery, two onions, some meat oi ham bones, and pepper and salt to fla vor. The peas should soak over night in cold water, and be boiled next daj in a saucepan with the water and othei ingredients. 801l until the peas art tender, then pulp through a sieve, and boil again. A little mixture should be added if the mixture seems clogged and thick. Stir frequently at this stage, and sprinkle in some dried mint. VVlieu once more boiling, the soup is ready, and should be served with crisp fried croutons of bread. J'ea soup requires to cook fully three hours to be satis factory. To Mend Waterproof Clotli.

In our second illustration is shown the method as followed in some parts of Wisconsin. Notice is taken of the fact that greater cold and more adverse conditions must be faced. The cut shows a cross section only as the beets are really placed in a deep and wide furrow and may be any number of feet in length. The pile here shown is about six feet wide and three feet high. On top of it is 18 inches of earth with ven tilating tile every six feet. This tile is left open while the roots are sweat ing, but can be closed after that proc ess is completed.—Farmers' IJeview.
