FOR THE FAIR SEX. LonR Heads of Hair. Ia one of his recent lectures In Lon don, Dontor Erasmus Wilson exhibits the pliotoRraph of a worann thirty eight years old, five feet five inches high, whose tresses, when she stood erect, enveloped her entire form in a golden veil, and trailtd several inches on the ground. The longest fibers measured six feet three find one-half inches. Thirty inches is the mean le.igtn for females, and three feet is considered a very remarkable length. This is ex ceeded, however, by two American women one whose hair measures seven feet six inches, and another, the wife of a druggist in Philadelphia, wiose lux uriant chevelure is almost as long, and so thick that when seated upon a chair she can completely cover herself with it. Fashion In Halir Dressing, The hair is dressed very simply this season, and close to the head, showing all its outlines. The voluminous puffs and chisnons worn last vear are entirely out of fashion, and very little false hair is used, except in natural-looking switches for enlnreine tlie braid in which the back hair is arranged. Low coiffures are most in favor, though ladies who are short, or those with round faces, sti'.l wear the hair dressvd high, though puffs and braids are not used by them. The only stylish high coiffure is formed by combing all the hair upward from the nape of the neck, then i-overing the top or crown of the head with a" large soft knot, made by tying a switch in a loose, fluffy knot. and tucking the ends beneath out of sight. If the forehead is low, the front hair is then combed straight back, and lett plain : but it the forehead is too hi eh. it is shaded by irregular Montague waves, or else by a short bang. Jjow com- lures are more generally becoming to the oval lace ot American ladies, nie ponulnr chatelaine braids are still used quite low at the back, and these are now two loops, each platted ot three tresses, put straight and quite together down the middle of the back of the head ; then each is curled around in a loop, which. when spread out, fills all the space be tween the ears. This is very easily arranged with false hair, but is more troublesome for those who have sufli cient natural hair to form the braids. Large coils are worn again, and are placed very low down. These n re not the small Greek knot, nor yet the plait rolled around, but are long thick tresses twined carelessly, or else twisted in a thick rope coil. Besides the becoming Montague curls there are three ways of airapging the front hair: First.whhthe loose waves that look natural, and leave the partins of the hair visible: second in the water waves that nre made to lie flat on the forehead; and third, with the short bangs cut oil quite square at the corners. The natural-looking waves must not be fluffy, now that smooth hair is again iuf ashnn. They are easily made by putting up tne iiair on two or lour hairpinu, nna wearing it so all night. The hair should be only oliglitl moistened, as when made wet the waves will be too much like crtped hair. Hairdressers say they cut bangs for ladies of thirty years ana under, preeiseh like those worn by cuuoren. though 1-idies should not nl low them to grow as long as the bangs seen on children. A little bandoliae used on these straight bangs, and also on lhi water waves and this is the only dressing now commended for the hair. An occasional shampooing to keep the hair clean, and a great deal of brushing, done iu quick strokes, afler each of which the hand is passed over the hair, will be found better than any nostrums for making the hair retain its natural luster. When a false front must be used by reason of baldness, or to give the natural hair timo 1 3 grow, that with live water waves, made quite flat, and showing no parting in the mid dle, isoneo the best. Another fitlse piece has large, deep, natural-looking waves covering the entire top of the head. Stili another is a narrower band or tress of hair slightly waved and cut off in lront to lorm some Montague locks. Forttie back hair, wnen there is very little nat ural hair, a long lull twitch is arranged to form a crown braid, quite far back, and each end is then turned up to make chatelaine loops. For this thick braid it is well to buy the crimed, fluffy hair that has had the crimp " baked ' in, so that it is permanent, as this is not so heavy as a btrnight switch. Very young ' ladies wear the back hair fastened iu a small kno quite low, in the fashion now called 1' Anglai.se. Withthe thp coiffurea la Vierge the f roM hair is in smooth Hands dmwn down behind the ears. For full-dress occa sion n cnmti or single flower placed low behind t tie left ear is suflicient orna ment. Willi the small bonnets now worn on the back ot the hi ad, smor.th bands, or eke natuial-'ooking waves, are nesi lor uie lront hair, os these add nothii'g to the size of the head. The old fashion of twisting pear.s in the con oi iiair is revived by ransiennes The preference here is for thrusting a dagger of shell or of jet through the b ten hair, or else wearing a narrow comb stuck in one. tide in Spanish fashion, bide combs of shell nre also used ngain. A pretty caprice with morning toiletts is that of wearing a tiny Japanese fan not larger than the shell daggers thrust through the knot of hair in the way seen in pictures of Japan ese women. Natural flowers are used in the coifl'ure to match those now worn on the eoisage. Artificial flowers are entirely abandoned lor such purposes. It is the fancy to wear only a single large flower low at the back, in stead of a cluster or wreath of smaller ones. The flower on the corsage is then chosen to match, and is worn on the left side ot the neck, quite high and far back ; if other flowers are used, they are s:uck in the belt on the lclt side. L vdiei who have gray hair do not conceal it with any disguise whatever, eschewing not only dyes, but lace haed-dresses and caps, except the muslin caps worn in the morning. Children still wear bangs on the forehead, while the back hair is long and flowing. Larger girls wear Margue rite braids, or else braided loops, with cither a bang or natural waves in front. The unclean practice of putting oil on the hair has been abandoned, and the natural oil of tte hair ia brought out by much brushing with a stiff brush ; the shampooing keeps the scalp clean and prevents the nccumulation of dandutf, which is said to be increased by the use of fine combs. There is tin the market a new electric brush, which is reputed to promote the growth of the hair, and also to cure headaches. This brush has met with treat favor in England, where it has been warmly commended iu high quarters Harpers Bazar. Au Officer Saved by His Dog. The Denver (Col.) Tribune tells this story of how a dog saved his master from drowning : Last Monday a num ber of soldiers went from Fort Craig to the Kio Grande lor a bath. Among them were Captain Jack Crawford. After being in the water about three quarters of an hour Captain Jack started to cross toward the other side of a sand bar, on which the water was only ftom six inches to a foot deep. Several of the others followed Jack- and they had con siderable fun tripping each other and rolling over in the water, while two of the boys got Jack down in the shallow water and tickled him in the ribs until he was nearly exhausted with laughter, being very ticklish. In order to get away from his tormentors Jack rolled over toward the deep water on the lower edge of the bar, and when lie got up on his; left he kept backing down stream, and although there was not more than two feet of water where he stood, yet the current was so strong that it would carry him down should he lose his foot ing. He kept splnshing water on those who bad been tickling mm ana Damer ing them to come on after him, when suddenly he made two or three despt rate efforts to get buck, but failed. Yet ho said not a word, or the others might have joined hands and reached for him. No one dreamed for a moment that he was trying to extricate himself from the quicksand. All at once ho went down like a piece of lead. The next instnnt Jack's dog Hero, a beautiful St. Bernard, was seen swimming toward his master, while Jie set up a howl that seemed to say, " Via coming." Jack came up about twenty five yards below where he went down and right in the center of a terribly swift current, near where the river made a quick, sharp turn. He was almost exhausted when the sand broke from under him, and, striking a whirl pool, he could mnke little or no head way, and had to use all his strength to keep from being caught in the suction. Hill, a soldier, as soon as he saw the dog go Tor Jack, also sprang in the cur rent, but Hero got to Jack first, just as Via nrna irninrf ifrtl Miff Bnnnnrl (imfl ug tt no r 1 1 at, svu viiu a v-- v v4 n luvi and taking him by the hair of the head brought him above water. Jack, who never lost his presence of mind, caught the dog by the back just above the hip, and the faithful Hero brought him safe to shore almost a mile below where lie first went down. This was a narrow escape, as an olliner and live soldiers went down nearly in the same place a few years ngo and were never seen. A wagon and team of mules disappeared in the river two years ngo and have not turned up yet. An old Mexican brought Jack over from the opposite shore in a boat, while Hero never ceased licking his hands and face until he enme out of the boat. Armies of the World.

New and Stale Bread, The nature of the difference between new and stale bread is far from being known. It is only lately that the cele brated French chemist, Boussingault, instituted an inquiry into it, from which it results that the difference is not the consequence of dessicatiou, but solely ol the cooling of the bread. If we take fresh bread into the cellar, or in anv place where it cannot dry, the inner part of the loaf, it is true, is found to be crumby, but the crust has become soft and is no longer brittle, if stale bicad is taken back into the oven again it assumes all the qualities of fresh baked bread, although in the hot oven it must undoubtedly have lost cart of its mois. ture. M. Boussingault has made a fresh loaf ot oread the subject of minute in vestigation, and the results are anything but uninteresting. New bread, in its smallest parts, is so soft, clammv. tlexi ble and glutinous (in consequence of the starch during the process of fermenting and baking beine changed into muci laginous dextrine) that by mastication it is wan greater diiucuitv separated and reduced to smaller pieces, and in its smallest parts is less under the influence of the saliva and digestive juices. It consequently forms itself into hard balls Dy careless and hasty mastication and deglutition, becomes coated over bv saliva and slime, and in this stale enters the stomach. The gastric juice being unable to penetrate such hard masses, and being scarcely able even to act upon tne surface oi them, they frequently re main in the stomach unchanged, and, line foreign bodies, irritate and incom mode it, inducing every species of suffer ing oppression of the stomach, pain ia the chest, disturbed circulation of the blood, congestion and pains in the head. irritation oi me Drain, ana lnhamma tion, apopleptio attacks, cramp and de lirium. 2 he Miller, FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD, Farm unit Unritin Moles.

Avoid if possible an exclusive diet of whole corn for poultry; it may put on fat, but it is not as good for eggs. Let corn be fed as only one among other grains.

This is nature's renovator, and is as necessary for cleansing the feathers of fowls from vermin and promoting the secretions of the skin from impurities as a water or vapor bath is to the hun an family. If wo watch the habits of fowls we will see an instinctive desire in the young and old to have frequent access to the dust heap. Beiore dusting they will pulverize the material if in lumps aud will then adjust their feathers and by the rapid action of their claws are enabled to dust thoroughly, and by shaking rid themselves of lice. .breeders who value their tow s and look to their comfort and health, usu ally provide them baths. But there is nnother class of poultrymen who never think of such things. We say to these go and do likewise, provide ample heaps of road dust, coal ashes, finely silted sand or wood ashes for your fowls to roll in ; have it placed where the genial rays of the sun will keep it warm nnd dry, and to make it more effectual in removing vermin, mix a pound of the flour of sulphur in the dust heap. Avoid using wood ashes that is wet, or lias the least moisture in it, as the lye will injure the fowls teet, head and wings. Tne dust heap should be tet iu a sunny hook of the fowl-house or outbuilding and should be accessible to the birds at all times. By pursuing this course you will have reason to be thankful, and at the same time you arc following nature in her wise provisions ana teaclnn ss.and the bcneiits of comfort, cleanliness and tood health, which must natural v come to your fowls from habitual dusting will more than lully compensate you for your trouble. 1'oultry Month'y. KlllIiiK Xmi'tce Weeds. Some weeds may bo effectually exter minated by cuttins off the st tlks close to the ground with a scythe. The proper lime to do this work is soon after they have attained their growth, but before the weeds hnve matured. The branches of some weeds nre so close to the ground that they can only be severed from the roots by a hoc,' which should be very sharp in order to do the work well and with anv degree of ease. Weeds should be cut quite early in the season, in orcLr to prevent the ripening ol the seeds that would give trouble another year, if not the same icuson they erow. The eeeds of some weeds are entirely ripe while the petals ot the blossoms are still 1: rsli. The np pearance of the piant affords no indieiv tion of the maturity of the seed,. as is iuh case wiui cram. It requires considerable pnins to de stroy some large weeds, ns burdocks. millions and Canada thistles. The stalks must be cut several inches below the sunaco of the ground or they will throw up suckers in the same manner as trees and bushes. A sharp spade or a narrow steel oiaae nxed to a handle is the best implement tousjfor the pur pose. Alter the stalk is cut and re moved it is well to droD ahandfuiol salt on the stump that may remain in the earth. A drop ot sulphuric acid ap plied with the end of a stick is effectual in destroying the life of the roots of weeas. strong lye, pans green, or London purple may also be employed lor the same purposes with most ex cellrnt results. It is always best to maicesure woik with large and trouble some weeds. Picture. Castile soap and water can be u ed on oil paintings without danger, care being tasen, oi course, not to wet the back, or let water through the cracks. For the ordinary dusting of pictures a silk handkerchief should be used. Heavy gilt frames aro appropriate for on puinungs.

To Keep Wagon Tire on the Wheel A practical mechanic sucreests t method of so putting tires on wagons that they will not get loose or require resetting, lie says he ironed a waon some years airo lor his own use. and before putting on the tires, fie tilled the felloes with unseed oil, and the tires have worn out and were never loose. Ihis method is as follows. Housed long cast-iron heater made for the purpose; the oil is brought to a boiling neat, tne wheel is placed on a stick, so as to imng in mo on, each leiloe an hour. The timber should be dry. as green timber will not take oil. Care should be taken that the oil is not made hotter than a boiling heat, or the timber will be burned. Timber hlled with oil ia not susceptible of injury by water, and is rendered much more durable by lias process.

The monster sank with him, reappearing some two or three minutes later upon the surface with Mixon still in his jaws Mixon cried to his com panions to shoot, but before a gun could be discharged he sank again, taking Mixon under with him. About two minutes after he arose again and struck for the opposite shore, still having the ill fated youna man in his enormous mouth. Aeoin Mixon called upon his companions to shoot, but being afraid of nibbing MLijiuii no one iiiscuaruu mo gun. The alligator crept some half a uwauu ie6 upon tlie opposite uau&, ic- maining about three minutes, when, guided by a sudden impulse, he plunged with his precious burden into the river ngain, and reaching the middle sank to rise no more within the view of lha parly.

It is not, as some suppose, a vast flat region, but interspersed wun mountains; rocks ot vast size are as common as sand.

It wns so curiously hidden that it was impossible to find it except in this way : One of the tribe stayed all summer there, and on a certain day watched for the return of the others; they having arrived at a certain white, camel-shaped mountain, made a fire, and the wt-tcher seeing this, built one on his mountain; BCC1I1K LUIS, UUI1U UUC II ID I11UUI th ere lb uidcd t0 the oasis At oria 1,nli'tho tribe returnet At one lime the tribe returned and bui It a fi re, but no response was elicited ; they waited, they sought for the path, hut nil In vain, nnd they were obliged to return to Egypt, losing from hunger and thirst a very large number of the tribe : the secret of the approach to the well had disappeared; it existed only in tradition Nearly 100 VFars nassed. nnd a young man having eicaped from the oppression ol the chiet.madehis way into tnemoun tains.

It was a beauti ful-spot; the palm trees had grown luxuriantly and tall: only an need man resid-'d here, surrounded with a species ot antelope. Ho was the watcher who had been left, lie had been unable to build the fire, having fallen from the roct s. Nor could he find the way out Since then stones have been set up to mark the way. S-holasG-jmpxnion Decrease of Cattle. It seems to be the opinion of those who have examined this matter prottv thoroughly that a considerable decrease will be found in the stock ot the United States and Territ'ncs. nfur the ship mcnts of this year are over. V e are of the opinion that this may he the enso in reeard to such ns are suihocntly well- bred for shipment to foreign markets; bur, ns to inferior stock, we question whether much, if any, deficiency will be found. Yet, in any event, there will unquestionably be a consi ierable ad vance in the price ot cattle another year, its well ns in that of sheep t.nd swine. There are two reasons why this may be so the first ot which is the greatly in creased tide of emigrants to our coun try thu season, who will be consumers instead ot producers for a twelvemonth to come; ana the second reason is, so numerous are the losses sustained in Great Britain nnd Ireland during the past eighteen months, in domestic oni mals. that their wants for this year will doubtless, bo larger than the past liny. been. aural Atio l orter.
