if huaua hair were uot nearly H3 iro-
liven Jenlh Iraelr, which iu t!m Iev-s
no tr ice of i1-sh aJ bjne, seems, un
der cpitttin conditions, powerless to de
stroy our hair. Numerous are the in
btanres not only of the growth of the
ha'.r itftir death, mt a'so of Its virMiai
indes'rnctibility. A very curious ex
ample of this was brought before public
notice at the uiDnthly of a society of
antiquaries. A member produced a
photorayh of the hack hair of a joung
Rjman lady, who. judging from a coin
f.iund kins under he crlTi?, must have
lived abut the time of Constantino.
When the cifiin wasoppened it was seen
that the boiij had been buried in gyp
sura with the head oo a pillow. Te
front part of the ikull had given way.
so that tha back of the head was
thiown forwa-d, and on it was a long
folded tresa of frmale u.iir with two pet
pins remaining iu it. It was of lovely
auburn color and in excellent preserva
tion. Now.it is not for one moment
insinuated " that this interea'.inj tress
was such 3 young Iidiesof the nine
teenth century hanjr over the back of
the bedroom chair. It IndLspu'aby
belonged to the lead of the IVman girl
when she was buried.
A Cure for Stooped Mioulners.
How often one hears the rematk :
"Wh t a fine, big fellow Mr. Svan-1 so
would be if he didn't stoop ?' And
still such a miafiirtune can easily be
cured. The stopping figure and halt
ing gait, accompanied by the unavoid
able weakness of the lungs, can be at
tended to and finally cured by the veiy
simple and easily performed exercise of
raising one's self npon the toes in a per
fectly perpendicular manner several
tiroes daily. To take thiJ exercise
properly one must take a perfec' post
lion, with the heels together and the
toes at an ang'e of forty-five dgr-es.
Then drop the arms lifelessly ty the
Fides, animating and raising the chest
niuszu'ar'y to its full capacity ; the
chin should be well drawn in and the
rrown of the head leeling is if attache. 1
to a strin? snsper.ded from the ceiling
above. Slowly raise upon th balls t
both feet to the greatest possible
height, thereby exurcisitg .ill the mul
cts of thelitis and body ; this done,
iheu roasuming th s'aodir.if p.isiilon
without swaying the body backward out
if tho perfect line. ltpeat this exr
ciHj first on oi.e foot and then on the
other. Th result will b? a surprise to
many to know what a powerful straiht-eninjj-uut

The Cabbage.
Just speak to fine lady about cb-
bagra and she will think ibal ou have
mentioned one of tne lowest tbinga on
earth. Mddam. yon are wrong ; it is
one of the most nsefn! articles of food.
Those ancient natious did uot know
food "cience, but they knew th Talua
of good and nourishing tblcgs, and
gave them them the place of honor
which they dearted. . Cabbages were
thought of highly by ancient nations,
003 the Egyptians gave the cabbage the
honor of letting it precede all their ol b
er "dishes ; they called it a divine dish.
The Greeks and Rjojon? bad a great
affection for cabbage and conceived the
idea, which I have myself, that tht use
of the cabbagd keep people from
drunkenness. I am persuaded that the
constant eating of certain vegetables
kills the desire for alcoholic beverages.
Greek doctors ascribed all kinds ot vir
tues to the cabbage. It was tboogbt to
cure even paralysis. Books were com
posed to celebrate the virtues of the
cabbage, and ladies partook of it soon
after childbirth. The Romans thought
even more of the cabbage than the
Greeks. They ascribe to It the fact
that they could for six hundred years
do without doctors, and Cato actually
maintained that cabbage cured all dis
eases. The ancients knew several
kinds of cabbage the Iong-leived gre n
cabbage, the hard white, so much ustd
n Germany for ''sauerkraut" or fer
mented cabbage, the curly aaa red.
The last seams to have held the p'ace
of honor, and was first introdued by the
Romans into Gaul or France, and then
brought to Great Britain. Later the
greenleaved cabbage was introduced.
The Greeks were fond of aromaf.ic sea
sonings of oil, raisins, wine and als
monds. They boiled or stewed the
cabbage and seasoned it with cummin,
coriander seed, with oil, wine, and
gravy, makiog rich dishes of a vegeta
ble, which we now boil in water, and
reckon among the plainest food. Some
thing like a remembrance of eaboage
among the old Greeks has come down
to the modern Greeks, for they stuff
cabbse leaves with dainty mince meat,
and tbeu stew them with gravy.
How to ."poll a Child.
1. Begin young te give him what
ever he eries for.
2. Talk freely before tbe child about
bis smart nesa as incomparable.
3. Tell him ibat be is loo much for
you, that you cau d nothing with bim.
4. Have divided counsels aa be
tween father aud mother.
5. Let him learn to regard bis
father a a creature of unlimited pow
er. cafT'cious and tyrannic! ; or as a
ate re wbippiner macnine.
0. Let him learn, from his father's
example, to despise bis mother.
7. 1) not know or care who bis
companions may be.
S. Lt him read whatever he likes.
y. Let the child, whetLer boy or
girl rove the streets in the evenings a
god school for both sexs.
10. D -vote yourself to making mon
ey, rem mbertLg that wealth Is a tet
ter leg icy for jour child rl ai princi
ples in the heart and habits iu life ;
ar.d let Lim have plenty of money to
epeud.
11. Be cot with him in hours of
recreat ion.
12 S; rain at a gnat aad swallow a
camel ; chastise severely for a foible
and laueh at a vice.
13. L-t him run about from church
to etinrch. Eclecticism ia religion is
the order of the dav.
14. Whatever burdens of virtuous
requirements vou lay on bis shoulders.
touch not with one of- voar fineers.
Freach gold and practice irredeemable
crenb:ek3.
These rules are not untried. Many
parents bavins proved them, with sub
s' antla! uniformity of results. If a
faithful observance of them does cot
spoil your cbitd, you will at least bate
that comfortable reflection that youbae
done what vou could.
The Latest in Fans.
The old styles of fan have came In.
Tbe newest of the fans in the Empire
fashion are mare of gauze with inch-
wide gauzo ribbons on llsse bands run
ning across ia rows, each row being
painted with a vine pattern in flowers,
or with cherubs' beads or some scroll
work notion. Ttey are very pretty, of
ten in exquisite taste nd .not dear, but
there is not one of them which can
com p ire with the genuine Louis Quinne
fans in those famous old Vernis Martin
mounts which time has not robbed
of tbeir lustre, and which are now be-
ins unearthed rapturously from the old
brie a-brac shops and auction rooms.
Some of them have mounts of nothing
more snbetantia! than paper, others are
ei'k or vellum, all are marvelous:
painted with the ami liufr, simpering
Marbue?ss, the powder and patches.
the minute and delicate art, the grace
ful prettinees of that pleasure-loving
ar. Tbe simpler cf tbe antiques and
the more numerous Imitation of the an
tique are studies in pink the soft pink
and the blue and tbe white of Dresden
china landscapes. Tbe nioae elaborate
and richer aie wonders of guilt.
Cleansing Feathers.
Where feathers need deodorizing. It
la best to have it done by persons wbo
made feather-renovating a business and
have tbe appiian es for doing It in tbe
beat manner, which families have not.
Tnia is done by steaming and after
ward drying and sifting out the dirt
and broken particles, so that tbe feath
era are not only aecaonsea bat are
livened op Iu (ucb a manner as to ap
petr almost aa good as new. New

Rales for Building Barns.
These buildings are often erected
very mncb at random, and without a
careful estimate of their needs. aDd with
au imperfect know:edge of many usefu'
details. Tbe following twenty brief
lules, if observed, would often save
money, meet requirements and sffoid
conveniences, although others might be
added :
In the first place ascertain what will
be wanted in the proposed barn.
intimate tbe number of tous of bay to
btJ8lored, tbe loads of unlbrethi-d giain,
the required contents of tbe granar
itnd tbe numoer of cattle and hotses to
occupy the stables.
Calculate tbe room required fsr hat
at COO cubic feet on an average Tor a
ton. and nearly the same for the un
threshed erain.
Determine granary room by allowing
ljcubic feet to the bushel Iu the bins.
For cattle and horse stables, allow
f ir stalls at least 3$ or four feet wide
for cattle, and five feet for horses, and
fourteen feet for entire length, includ
i g passage and mangers.
Then provide room for bay and grain
btys, epice for straw, area of threshlog
floor, room for tools aod borse power,
size of granary, entire space for cow and
borse arables, root cellar, silo and
manure sheds.
lu arranging all these, place tbe
threshing floor convenient to the grain
bays, and the granary contiguous to or
below them ; tbe feed rooms, roots,
meal or eusilage, on a level witb and
near tbe an.mals ; and give heavy pro
due's tbe first place for convenient po
position.
Good Suggest on Tor Winter.
Dj not worfc your boys and eirls so
hard as to break tbeir spirits. Strain a
i-oint to give them and yourselves
greater opportunities for reading. In
erest yourselves in tb-ir studies and
heir schools. Insist, indeed, tbat tbe
comparative, leisure of tbe winter
monihs shall oe tributary toinie'etutl
rrprovemeut. Consider a first class
iifwspapei an absolute necessity for - be
family, and let an occasional tx.ck I
come in with its quickening influence.
As a further means of improvement, let
more be made of good neighborhood
fellowship, not only in tbe way of oc
casional social gatherings, but by stated
organizations tbat shall combine somr
oiject of lnformotion and intellectual
improvement. A debating club or
reading club kept up regu'arly during
tbe winter moctbs in the distric
school-house or at tbe farmhouees in
urn would do wonders in the course of
yeais to remedy th deficiencies in the
farmer's life. Magazin- and book
ciubs would supply, at slight cost to
the individual, good reading matter for
the whole neighborhood. In my town,
we have a farmer's c'.ub now more than
twenty years old, that has accomplish
ed much, not only in improving the
methods of agriculture, but in quicken
ing the in'eliectual and social life of its
members. Why should there not be a
similar organization in evry town.

The Size of 5oahs Ark.
