WOMAN AND HOME.

A LADY CORRESPONDENT TELLS
HOW TO CARE FOR THE HAIR.

Gloves, Corsets and “Reform" Clothing.
Stray “Bits of Information.

A wan-.111 whose hair reaches to her waist,
thick as one‘s wrist when braided, needs no
artificial ornament-s to adorn her head, and
abundant hair needs less care to arrange than
a scanty crop. All women can possess such
hair 11‘ they give the proper care. It is not
best to keep the hair closely cut; after seven
years it need not be touched by the scissors
except to clip the forked ends once every
month. Constant brushing is the secret of
luxuriant shining tresscs, as it strengthens
tho hair and brings out its natural luster, and,
by brushing, the ugliest red hair can be
changed to a warm golden tint. Use a hard
brush; do not passit lightly over the hair, but
with firm, steady strokes brush until the
scalp glows. If just before retiring you
loosen your hair and brush it this way you
will [bid you can sleep much better. Braid
it in two loose plaits, or, if very short, leave
it unbound, as the hair should always be well
aired and need not be bound unnecessarily.

Do not use pomadcs, dyes or preparations of
any kind, and above all things don't wear
night caps; covering the head with a cap is
almost as bad as putting a clothes pin on the
nose at night to keep out the cold. Many
ladies have the mistaken idea that the head
and face should be closely covered when walk-
ing even a short distance in the sunshine; go-
ing often into the air and sunlight, except at
noon, benefits the complexion as well as the
hair. Tow headed people should remember
that the sun changes the color of their hair to
a more agreeable shade.

Combs are not a necessity for long hair, ex-
cept to comb out tangles; the sharp teeth in-
jure the scalp and produce dandruff. Wash-
ing the hair in cold sage tea promotes the
growth and prevents falling out; burdock
root tea is also good. lVashing the hair with

soap renders it coarse and brittle and splits
the ends; instead of which take the yelk of
an egg, beat slightly with the hand, adding a
few (very few) drops of water and rub well
into the roots. This cleans the scalp and makes
the hair soft and silky. Allow about two
minutes to get nearly dry, then rinse the
head well in tepid water, into which pour a
few drops of ammonia (ammonia is the most
healthful stimulus known for the hair and
quickeus its growth when nothing else will
do so). After washing wipe and rub the hair
dry with a towel; brush and part carefully
with the fingers and dry in the sun, or, in
winter, dry by the fire. Never go into the
open air until the hair is thoroughly dry.
Shampooing the hair every morning in cold
water and then brushing until the scalp
glows is good for the hair when it is short
and will not grow. Crimping pins do not in-
jure the hair, unless they are of metal and
the hair is put up too tight on them. If the
hair is unnaturally dry, a mixture of half an
ounce of carbonate of ammonia in a pint of
sweet oil makes the best hair invigorator.—-
Ann Biscuits in Detroit Free Press.

Dress in 3 Recreation.

If it were not for clothes a great part of
the world would have nothing to do and
nothing to think about. Clothes are to some
what books and pictures and brie a brac,
music, poetry and conversation are to others.
They take the place of metaphysics, astrono-
my and psychological research. Possibly it
may require as much thought to plan a re-
ception gown as to calculate an eclipse, espe-
cially when the purse is slender; to imagine
a new shape for a bonnet, a new drapery, a
new trimming, as to invent a philosophical
solution of the universe or to compose a sym-
phony; but the mind is more enlarged and
enriched by one than the other. TV) do not
exactly want to live for clbthes, to satisfy
our souls with such material things, although
many am apparently content to give all their
leisure and thoughts to them, and are no
sooner off with the old clothes than they am
on with the new. They always have a dress-
makcr in the house and shopping on hand.
Their literature is fashion reports. They
have no interests to speak of apart from this
frivolous pursuit, or none so great, so absorb-
ing. Happiness for such people consists in a
wardrobe where no omission can be detected.

But let it not be supposed that this adora-
tion of clothes is a peculiarly feminine trait,
although many believe so. Are not fop and
coxcomb both in the masculine gender, and
is there any feminine synonym for them?
Of course it may be urged that men have
noble-1‘ occupations which consume their timc,
that their minds are not so narrow as to be
agitated by the shape of a collar, but this is

perhaps only an argument in favor of the
higher education of women. If their minds
were as elegantly and suitably furnished as
those of their brothers, would they not have
something more interesting to deimte them-
selves to:

Dress is a kind of recreation, like poetry or
music, not t.1c absorbing interest of a life-
time, although one might suspect quite the
revcrsc. Too profou‘nl attention to it is de-
bilitating to the mortal fiber; like some poi-
sons, it has a cumulative effect; one cannot
trifle with it or it asserb: itself; and becomes
an intoxication in one case, a fct-ich in. an
other. It ,is always a pleasure to see well
dressed people; a gown that fits badly, colors
ill mmrtcd, tawdrincss, depress one like bad
drawing, like “sweet bells jangling out of
lunc;“ but those who put their soul into their
moth-cs, into the hang of a skirt or the set of
u slccvc, have generally very little else to
recmnmend them, and one soon exhausts
their resources. “A sweet disorder in the
dress" may be advised for artistic cfiect; it
relieves primness and gives a touch of
piquuncy to a toilet; but the disorder must
not lapse into a disease; one is not more cer-
tainly born with a genius for music, for lit-
erature or art, than another is born with a
taste for dress, knows what to wear and how
to wear it.—-—Harper’s Bazar.

A “'cll Shaped Woman.

Art should always be based on natm‘e, and
no art is true which does not take nature for
its model. A perfect, symmetrical, healthy
woman of five feet ten inches in height must
comply with the following standard: She
should be 138 pounds at the least, and could
stand up to ten pounds more without injury
to health or artistic perfection. The distance
between the tips of her two middle fingers,
when the arms are extended, should be ex—
actly the we as the height, or ten times the
length of her hand, or seven and a half times
the length of her foot, or fivo times the
diameter of her chest from one armpit to the
other. The distance from the junction of
the thighs to the ground should be the same
as from the former point to the top of the
head. The knee should be exactly midway
from the junctionof the thighs to the bottom
of the heel.

The distance from the elbow to the tip of
the middle finger should be the same as from
the elbow to the middle line of the chest.
From t a top of the hood to the chin. with
the head posed naturally, should he the same
as from the level of the chin to the armpits,
or from the heel to the tip of the large too
The bust of a woman of the height uamco
should be forty-three inches measurement
over the arms, and the waist twenty-four.

The upper part of the arm should be. from
thirteen and a half to fourteen inches, and
the wrist six inches. The ankle should be six
inches, the calf of the leg fourteen and the
thigh twenty-five. Any woman of the height
mentioned who has these measurements can
congratulate herself on having as perfect a
form as the Creator ever made. Of course
the proportions vary with the height. —New
York Mercury.

Girls in the Kitchen.

“People make sucha fuss about girls not
going into service that I’ve kept a list of rea-
sons against it; reasons that the girls gave
without really knowing that they were giv-
ing them, and it’s a pretty dreadful list, too.
But there! It‘s both sides, and I’d like a
training school for both and a different way
of looking at things all round. There
won’t bemuch change till there is."

This remark was repeated to a woman of
high social position, whose interest in the
problem was intense, and who had made a
genuine home for the servants in her own
house.

“The thing that strikes me most seriously
is,” she said, _“that the girl‘s opportunity for
a really good marriage ceases the moment she
enters a kitchen. Say what- you will, that is
the natural destiny of woman, and my girls
are nice girls, who ought to have a fair
chance to find the right mate. Two of them
are well educated. They could marry a
young professional man or merchant and not
disgrace him, but such men would never
dream of looking at them. The ordinary
mechanic comes to see them; a kind of man
for below them in every way. I don’t know
:what to do about it, but it moms to me that
lit for any reason they had to leave me i
would :not advise them to continue in domes-

eticserviee. Am I right or wrong?”

A Lesson In Gloves.

By the by, have you seen those most cu-
rious gloves, undervests and stockings that
fill a window on Broadway? They call it
“Primrose," but it is the brightest, most
glaring, most assertive yellow I have ever
seen in my life. IVho in the world would
have courage to clothe herself in this get up2

tirely cover the body, and I am wondering

low and black for the front row.

TVhen will women learn that gloves intense
in color simply make their hands look large
and prominent? For, really, anything that.
attracts attention at onto to the hands only
increases their size. That is one reason why
white gloves have such an abominable effect.
Don‘t you remember the old fashioned photo-
graphs where people had their hands ar-
ranged in the most conspicuous manner over
the backs of impossible chairs-that is, in1~
possible out of a photograph gallery—and
where the first thing you saw, or rather the
first thing that struck you, was the deadly
whiteness of the hands and their immense
size? In those days of inartistic photograph-
ing one might wear a five glove, but in the
picture it looked like nine—“Bab” in New
York Star.

Let Us Remember Home.

Let us make flannel shirts for the Hotten-
tots, interest ourselves in mighty charities,
or become, in a word, models of public spirit.
But let us not quite forget our homes. In our
homes are lips that often and often will yearn

will gladdcu and grow fresh again when the
cup is given, unaskcd, by a thoughtful, lov-
ing hand. The small offerings cost so little!
There is nothing in the world that costs: so
little and is yet so priceless. The fire burn-
ing brightly upon the hearth, the favorite
dish upon the table, the cold water to the
humble laborer when evening calls him home,
and the baby liftcd'from the mother‘s tired
arms, a strong hand at the heavy kettle, an
appreciative word for the capital bread and
the nice tcauthis is the cup, returned full
and overflowing, that half banishcs the cares
of the day, and brings new light into loving
eyes. The old fashioned song played and
sung for the silver haired father, the ready
fingers that thread the needle for grandma’s
fading eyes, the word of tender cheer for the
grieved child—these are such little cups, and
yet they are so blessed l—St. Louis Magazine.

The Actress and Her Stays.

It is said that ycais ago Mrs. Scott Sid-
dons’ drcssmukcr advised her to leave off her
corsets. “What, lose me stage figure?" she
cried. “Impossible!” The dressmakor urged
that she was losing her figure anyhow, and
that the only means of saving it was to take
radical measures at once. "W'cu, here go
mo days,” said the actress, and tho milliucr
proceeded to fit her a twenty-five inch waist.
At the end of the season she came back again.
“Make me a twenty-seven inch Waist,” she
demuudai, but in the meantime her figure
below and above the waist had resumed their
normal proportions, her skin had grown two
shades fairer and clearer, and tho looked
younger. Since then she has never worn a
stay, and she says that whereas before the
abandoned them it was all she would do to
drag through the last act, after she had dis-
pensed with them she was so fresh and vigor-
ous that she could have done : '- 11 act and
not minded it. She still continues to wear
very gorgeous gowns—Nerf York “Torld.

 

“Reform Clothing" for “'omcn.

The movement in the direction of who. is
called “reform clothing" for women is cer-
tainly progressing. I had occasion to visit a
shop where women’s wear is sold - .d was
astonished at the number and variety of tho
“11::proved” garments kept in stock. A goo—:1.
man y of them seem to be very sensible, too,
for 1hcy combine an amount of comfort in
their use with that gracefulness of appear—
ance which women find an essential of the
fashions. The shopkeeper said: “Thcrc are
hundreds of ladies wearing the divided skirt
now, though only about their houses. When
they go out of doors they drew in the old
style. In the new fashions of underclothinjj,
however, the use is getting to bc universal.
\Vomen are more sensibly and healthful”
dressed now than ever before, but they will
never come to trousers, you may be sure.”

As the speaker was a woman and a smart
one, I am happy to take her word for it.—
All'red Trumblc in New York News.

 

“’omnn's Sorrows and Cruelty.

No, the pathos of lifeis not exhausted in
the sorrows ‘of women; nor is its cruelty al-
together the prerogativc of men. It need
not be told here how merciless are the exac-
tions of social life in our great cities, with
their inexorable “must he’s" and “must
have’s,” yct women, whose eyes will over—
flow as they talk of the burden of human
sorrow and who honestly believe the law of
love and mercy rules their lives will accept
these killing sacrifices. They fool no com-
punction as they put on graceful costumes
and wraps which express, perhaps, a mouth
of toil, of anxiety. of heartache, and, alas!
even under too great a pressure, a departure
from a, strict ideal of honesty. Do we not all
know that life is full of wrecks made in this
way—of men each of whom, like Lydgate
in George Eliot‘s story, starts with pure
white sails on what is to be a triumphrl
voyage—110 mistakes such as other men have
made—but, she who should have been his in
spiration, hisstar, is his 1‘ ' Tit-h her in-
exorable needs she is; the i Izzic rock upon
which ho is wrecked, and his lofty aspiration
and fair ideal go dorm fathoms deep in mud
and slime.-——Mary Parmelc in Amcrican
Magazine.

 

 

The Newspaper it Home.

In many families the nmspupcr has be
come a forbidden object to the hands an;
eyes of the younger members. Their parents
have become unwilling that they should fa-
miliarize themselves with the records of
crimes to be found there, with tho fact of the
frequency of such crimes, or with the fre-
quently light and fiippant ways of mention-
ing them, while in many cases the advertise-
ments have become sou rccs of apprehension.
It is a pity, however, to deprive the growing
children of all knowledge of what is going on
in the world in different regions from those
of crime, and households have always their
safeguard in the provision of a weekly paper
which, while keeping its readers abreast with
tho current of the world, is not bound as a
matter of news to the daily consideration of
the last theft or murder. —Harper’s Bazar

The Housekeepcr’s Recreation.

A woman can be a. good housekeeper with-
out taking all her time to do her housework.
If she cannot let her, after all, be satisfied to
be an ordinarily good one, and take some of
the time from her previously self imposed
drudgery for reading, education of children,
self improvement and for recreation. There
is no reason why a long programme of work
should be laid out for every day, nor why it
should be carried through at all hazards. If
each hour of the day is arranged for some
kind of work, one hour at least ought to be
set apart for recreation, and that hour, of all
others, rigidly observed—Cor. Good House-
keeping.

“Old Fashioned”_ Booms.

“Old fashioned” rooms are rather a. fad
just now. They are furnished just as hand-
some rooms were furnished before the aes-
thetic craze set in, with hair cloth furniture,
pictures in the regulation places—over piano
and sofa; cut glass chandeliers, with tinkling
drops; heavy curtains, looped back over lace
ones, and all the otherndjuncts of the “best
parlor” of the past. Strange though it may
secm, such rooms have a certain solid stateh-
ncrs of their own, and rather relieve the eye,

that marks the modern drawing room—Nov

in a Frenchy chirography.

srnbcn ANOTHER SZiAG.

Before the first issue we (I use the plural as
referring not to Malabouche, but to my ablo
associate, Mr. Albert C. Ives, formerly of The
New York Tilncs) struck another snag. To
properly herald the coming birth, a quantity
of posters had been prepared for placarding
the vacant wa of Paris. It was our un-
lutorcd Ameribau idea that to order and pay
for a few thousand flaming bills, and to hire
men to stick thcm to the walls, comprised all
the process necessary for this pleasing form
of attracting public attention. Ingenious
barbarians that we were, we had fallen into
new errors. First, we narrowly escaped ar-
rest for affixing one of the placards to our
own premises without previously having it
stamped with the official stamp. Every bill
must, under penalty of the law, bear the gov~
eminent stamp as conspicuously as though it
were going to be gut by mail. The stamps
vary in pride according to the 5120 of the
poster, but the rule is rigid and the penalty
for its infringement severe. Further than
this, a good part of our stock of placards were

, seized because. forsooth, the announcements

had been printed upon white paper! The use
of white paper is reserved by the French rc-
public to itstlf for such proclamations or
other announcements as it finds necessary to
placard about the capital. Rod we could use,
Jr blue or peagreen or any shade of color
whatsoever that might please our :L-sthctic
fancy, but the posters which we had pre-
sumedtoor’dcr printed in black and white
must be destroyed, and destroyed they were,
ruthlessly.

Ith the paper had been running about
two months we made the announcement,
based on a careful canvass of tho kiosks, or

" news stands, that our circulation in the city

of Paris was six times as large as that of our
venerable rival. The said rival had meantime
reduced its price from eight to {0' ' cents a
copy, applied for a. special wire to London,
and actually taken to printing sporadic items
of news. 0111‘ statement of comparative cir-
culation was printed in tabular form, based
upon the actual sales of the kiosks. The
figures were carefully verified before publica-
tion. hey showed conclusively that the
Paris sale of The Morning News versus that of
Guglignani was six against one. But though
this statement was true, it was, according to
French law, illegal. “’0 were promptly sued
by the enemy, who estimated his damages at
20,000 francs ($4,000).
A LONG LAW SUIT.

The law under which our behavior had be-
come actionable was that of concurrence de-
loyale or “unfair competition.” “’0 might
say whatever we chose with regard to our
own circulation, but we must not make com-
parisons derogatory to our neighbors. Along
awsuit followed. The truth of our statement
was not questioned—did not, in fact, enter
into consideration at all. The only point at
issue was that we had made comparisons
odious and presumably damaging to our rival.
Accordingly the tribunal decided against us
and we were inulctcd.

Another litigation was that with M. Clem-
enceau. I'had sent a reporter to interview
the great Radical leader‘ and had satisfied
myself of tho genuinencss of the interview.
In it occurred the expression “cliques tap-
ageuses” (noisy cliques), applied by M. Clem-
unceau to a section of his own political fol~
lowing. The ant-i Clemenceau papers got
hold of this phrase and used it with decided
effect. A few days afterward I received
word from Clemenceau that we must deny
the whole interview. I replied that I would
modify any part of it upon M. Clemenceau’s
authority, but that to stultify ourselves by
swallowing the entire story, even to the fact
that an interview had taken place, was quite
out of the question. Thereupon suit was
brought agaimt me, damages being laid at
100,000 francs. The French courts decided
in Clemence‘ou’s favor. It did not appear to
be at all a. question of fact as based upon the
evidence. The undisputed testimony as to
the memento of an interview did not ap-
parently come within the purview of the
court. It was simply amumed to be the
right of M. Clemenceau to insist upon any
retraction he wished. Had be chosen to ask
us to deny not only the fact that he had been
interviewed, but oven that such a paper as
The Morning News existed, I am inclined to
think the lawwould have sustained him.—
St. Louis Dispatch.

A Mass of ambergris.

The fact that :1 schooner, which had ar-
rived at Gloucester, had picked up 03' Cape
Sable a mass of ambergris, weighing 125
pounds, has stin'tcd inquiry as to the nature
and market value of the substance. Its use
in Europe and the United Suites is entirely
confined to perfumery, although it formerly
occupied no inconsidcrable place in medicine.
In the cast it is used in pharmacy and as a
flavoring material in cookery. Its value is
from $18 to $25 per ounce, according to
quality. It is a solid, fatty, inflammable
substance, of dull gray or blackish color, the
shades being variegated like marble, and
possessing a peculiar sweet, earthy odor.

This substance is formed in the intestines
of the spermaccti whale, being morbidly Sc-
creted, and fioats’ou the water. Vessels pick
it up in tho Atlantic ocean, on the coasts of
Brazil» and Madagascar, on the coast of
Africa, East» Indies, China, Japan, the Ba-
,hama Islands and sometimes on the North
American coast. The largest lump ever
heretofore found weighed 182 pounds. The
whales in which it has been discovered were
either dead or much wasted, and evidently in
asickly condition. But it is believed that
ambergris, from the position in which it e1-
isis and its chemical constitution, is a biliary
concretion analogous to what is found in
other mammals—Boston Transcript.
