RLES CRUSADE. T WOHA Kl-CIIKTTK CARl.Y. llkor ofB-rrhnm Heathrofr Trial,' tHArrr. ah. a va f aktkoph k. About thr iMki after my mistress' visit something wr terrible happcoed. I wish the history of that day woulil get Itaelf told without the paiu of teiliutr it. My life hs been a happy one, lhauk God! I bur been '-led by paths that I bare not known." but even now I uever look bark upon that day without a ahuctder. Ob, Rgtfe. "7 darling! Bat God was good to ns, aud the danger pasoed; still, it wilt be only in Heaven that we shall bear to look bark on past peril without dimuess of eyes aud failing of heart. I bad never left Kotf alone with the children for a moment sloce Judsou had told me of his mischievous bropeniiille. 1 bad grown foud of Rolf, and he was certainly very much Improved; but I al ways felt he, was nut to be trusted, and either Hannah or I kept a strict guard over him. He was never permitted to en ter the nursery In the morning; If we went out, be Joined us, as a matter of cour-: but more than once when he hegwd for admittance 1 bad refused it decidedly, Hannah was always busy in the morning, and the children slept for an hour, and if there were time I liked to take Joyce to her lessons, or to set her some baby task of needle-work, and Holf always made her so rough. On a rainy afternoon or In the evening she wonld be allowed to romp with Kolf, aud they always played together on the beacb. Kolt was more in his element out-of-doors. Judson had been very un well for some days; she was a sickly sort of body, aud was often ailing; but just then she had s threatening of qulusy, and seemed Tery feverish and suffering. Her room was close to the nursery, and It was only sheer humanity for Hannah or myself to no fn now aud then aud see what we could do for her. 1 had got it into niy bead that she was noniew lint ne glected by the other servant. I know Gay thought so, for she asked me to do what I could for her. She had been ordered some linseed poul tices that morning, aud Mrs. Markham had come up to the nursery, and asked me Tery civilly if I would apply them, as the upper house-maid was away, aud Susan was very i-luniBr aud helpleH. 'I will stay with tliechildren." she said, quite graciously, for her: "and Hannah is here." And as I knew Kolf was in the garden with his annt, I could not Hurt a " loop-hole for excuse. I do not thluk I was wrong now, for how could I have refused such a request Hut the Kates were against me. That is a foolish and untrue expression, but I will let It stand. The poultices were for from hot, and poor Judsou, who seemed iu great pain, and Tery nervous alxjiit herself, Iwggcil me to go down to the housekeeper's room And make some more. "It Is no use Susuu making them, ami Mrs. Humble is always so busy," alio whispered: "do go yourself. Miss Kenton, and tlieu i sliull be mora aure of hot ones." The housekeeper's room lny nt the end of a lung passage leudiug from the hall, shut In with red baize doors. These swing doors deadeued sound, and thnt was why I did not hear Kolf come in from the gar den aud scamper up-stairs. The front-door bell rang Immediately afterward, aud some visitors were asked into the drawing-room. I knew Cay was about the premises, and the Idea never crossed my mind that Mrs. Markham would desert ber post and leave the three children alone In the nursery; but I heard afterward that this was the case. An old Indian friend hail called, aud Mrs. Mark ham had desired Kolf to summon IluuuaU from the night nnrsery; but Holf, who was seldom obedieut to his mother, had imply Ignored the order. I was some little time in the housekeep er' room. The kettle did not boll, and I was compelled to wait. I was rather im patient at the delay. As I stood talking to Mrs. Rumble I saw Mr. Hawtry ride up to tba front door. I succeeded at last In making the poul tices. Jndson was very grateful to vie. and thauked me warmly as I put them on. 1 had Just covered her over comfort ably, aud taken from her the red woolen bawl la which she had wrapped herself, when a sudden report, as though from a toy cannon, and then a piercing scream from the nursery, made me start as though I had been shot, for the scream was from Joyce. Tba next instant I was iu the uursery; but, oh, merciful heavens! the sight that met my eyes. Hannah had Just opened ' the door. Rolf and Joyce were huddled together on the window-seat, beside them selves with terror, and there stood Reggie In the middle of the room, with his pina fore and white frock In Names! I must have uttered a scream that roused the bouse, and then It seemed to me as though 1 knew nothing, an t felt nothing except the smarting pains In my arm and shoul der. I had thrown the child on the floor and cowed him with my body, and the woolen shawl was between us, and I was crushing the dear life almost out of, him with that terrible pressure. I seemed to know Instinctively that nothlncrelu could save him. Happily, I wore a stuff dress, for there was no rug ot carpet In the nursery, and, with the open door and windows, another moment would have been too late. 1 could beat wri'i nltMina cries, but I dare not re lease him; I must crush and smother the flames. There was the terrible smell of burning, the singeing of stuff, a suuuen uproar round me, confused voices and ex i..K,.n. t mm- to hear tray's voice crying. "On. Merle! you will smother the child!" And then strong arms lifted me off Reggie. 1 knew It was Mr. Hawtry; -,..,. .1 -nnll have done It. His grasp gar ma Intense agony, and I tried to free myself. ; ..i ... . i t m.i.t im if he is hurt."

If las FeutoD." 1 looked at him, as though I failed to comprehend bis meaning, but he pointed to my arms with such a pitying expres sion on his face that I looked, too. My sleeves weie hangiug in shreds like Reg gie's frock, and there were large bums ou each arm; my right shoulder felt painful, too; a faint, sickening sensatiou seemed creeping over me. 1 must have got my amis unaer uim, or I should not have been so badly burned, aud some of my hair was singed. When Gay touched me gentiy I shuddered with pain, and they ail looked at me very gravely. ttemuHt have Dr. Staples. Roaer." observed Mrs. Markham; "her arms must be properly dressed." "1 will go for III m at once." returned Mr. Hawtry, "but 1 ailvUe you to give her a little wine or brandy; she looks faint with pain." And then he went away, and we could hear him galloping down the avenue aud aloug the road. I irank what they gave me, but I re fused to lie down uutil Regale had been undressed. I would uot be persuaded without the evidence of my own eyes that he had sustained no serious injury. I suppose his scorched leg pained him, for he still enej iucessautly, aud beat ui oft. iu his usual fashion; but wheu Hannah had dressed him Iu bis nice clean frock, he grew pacified at the sight of his blue ribljous, aud only said, "1'oor, poor," m he pointed to me. lie wauled to come ou my l.i p, but wheu I tried to take him I turned so falut that Gay looked frightened and snatched him awav. I wanted to know what had become of Holf, but Mrs. Murkhani said, sternly, ami her lips were still very pale, that she had sent him to his room. "Tell me how It happened, Joyce," she continued, drawing the child to her. "I told Roif to fetch llauuah. Did she nut come to you?'' "Holf didn't fetch her, Aunt Adda; he s.-ticl he was a big boy, aud would tuke care of us. Poor Holf diil not mean to be uatighty, did he, nurse?" "He must be severely punished for hia dlsolK-illeiics, he has nearly killed your little brother. .Joyce. Jell me what Rolf did after that." "He aked me If I would not like to see his dear little cannon that went pop when be told It," went ou Joyce, looking ex tremely frightened. "I did not know cautions were wicked things, and 1 said yes: and Holf showed us the caution, and told us to get out of the way, for it would kill us dead, aud I runned, and baby clapped his hands and ruuued the wrong way, ami Kolf had lire Iu his baud, like llauuah lights the candles with, and baby's pinafore got on Are, and Isoreiimed as hard as I could for nurse." It must have lieeu Just ns Joyce said. for the toy cannon was ou the floor, and a box of uuttches beside It. Probably Kolf had not seen Reggie beside him, and had thrown the lighted match aside in his ex citement. Mrs. Markham sighed deeply as she listened. She had sustained u severe shock; her face looked very dark and rigid as she left the room. I was afraid hhc meant to punish Rolf severely. aud begged Gay to follow her aud pleuil for mercy. "Holf has had a fright that will last mm for life; his terror has lweu punishment nongh." Hut Gay shoot ner tieaii. "It is no use iutcrfcriug with Adelaide; she will take her own way. I nm sorry for Rolf; but he deserves uny punishment he gets. Reggie would have been burned to death but for your presence of mind, Merle; uone of us could have reached the nursery In time. Mr. Hawtry suid so at once." Reggie burned to death! and then my mistress would have died, too; felie could not have survived the horror of Hint shock. 1 begged Gay faintly not to say such things; the bare mention of it turned me sick. I suppose she was alarmed oy my ghastly look, for she kissed me, and said, soothingly, that I must not distress myself so; we could only be thankful that Reggie was safe. Dr. Staples came soon after that, lie was a benevolent-looking old man, and was very kind and gentle. He suid one of my arms, the left one, was severely burned, and thnt it would be some littio time before it was healed. "These things depend a great deal on the constitution; but you seem strong and Iicultny, jiiss Kenton, so 1 hope you will soon be right again: but you must not expect to lose the sears." I was sorry to hear that, for I knew the gears would remind me of a terrible hour In my life. The dressing was very pain ful, aud when ft was finished I was com pelled to follow Dr. .Staples' advice and go to lied. 1 was suffering rrom tne shock, and I knew my arms would be useless to me for a week to come. I felt shaken aud sick, aud unable to bear the childish voices. Gay followed me Into the night nursery, aud gave me nil the help she could, aud she did not leave me until my head was on the lavender-scented pillow. In spite of pain and dizziness, it was nice to lie there and hear the birds twittering under the eaves and the bees humming about the flowers, and to look opt on the sunshine aud feel a great mercy had been vouch' sated to me, that I had uot been suffered to fail in the hour of peril. , Gay hung up her cage of canaries In the window, to divert my mind, aud laid a tm nc li ot dark clove carnations, with a late rose or two among them, on the quilt. "Mr. Hawtry is still here, Merle; he Is Tery anxious to know If you are in less paiu, and whether there Is anything he can do for you. He seems quite grieved because Dr. Staples says your arm Is bad ly burned." I scut a civil messngo of thanks to Mr. Hawtrv. uud then I detained Gay a mo ment. "Miss Gav, you mnst write to Mr. Mor ton yourself. I have promised your Sister to tell her everything; but It will shock her too much, and I thluk Mr. Morton should know first." Gav looked distressed. "Need we tell them. Merle Violet is not atoll well; Allck said so Iu his letter this morulug. Scotland does uot seem to suit ber, aud ho thinks they will soon come home." "Aud they have not been away n month et " I observed, regretfully; "uot more than three weens sun two oy; uuu mt, Morton is so fond of Scotland." "Allck thinks more of VI than deer stalking. If she be not well, be will bring her home without a wold ol gruniming, Iu some respects Allck Is a very good hus band. Why need we say anything about the accident. Merle Reggie Is scarcely hurt at all; his scorched leg will soon get right." "It is not fair to keep everything from them. 1 promised 1 would tell everything and my mistress must know I am Invalid ed and cannot do my duty." "You need uot fret about that," she re turned, cheerfully. "Husan shall help Hannah, and I will be here as much as I ,.T t . W aril' ptjSSltTITi a SUi a inm-i- -r - w " make Mrs. Rumble wait on Judson. Very well. Merle, I will write to Alick; but 1 would much rather not." Iliad forgotten poor Judson, bnt I did not forget Rolf; I asked several times after hi in, but Gay had not seen hlni. Rolf was in disgrace, and a close prisoner to his room. He had had his diuuer sent up to him; but Adelaide was lyio'f down iu her own room a41 the afternoon with a bad headache, aud. as Rolfs communi cated with hers, no one could visit him unperceived. I wondered If Mrs. Markham's eyes were at last opened to the dauger of Rolfs disobedience and her own faulty manage ment. She was to blame as much as the child. She bad given me her word to re main fa the uursery, and no visitors should have tempted her from her post. It was no surprise to me to hear she was ill with worry: her conscience must have reproached her for her breach of trust. If Reggie bad been killed, his death would have been owing to her carelessuess. Later ou iu the evening, Just as it was getting dusk, Gay came to me for a minute with a plate of tine fruit iu her baud. They had tempted me all dav long with delicacies, but I had felt too 111 to eat. The fruit just suited me, for I was feverish with pain. 'Adelaide has lust come down-stairs." she said, with a droll little laugh. "Mr. Rossiter had heard of the accident, and had dropped In to iuquire, so father kept him to diuuer. When Adelaide heard that, she came down as soon as pos sible; and there she sits, looking like a ghost, until Mr. Rossiter takes his depar ture." "And Rolf'" "Oh, I suppose Rolf is asleep." she re turned, carelessly: and as she wasevident- ly lu a hurry to return to the drawing- room, I would not keep her; but as soon as she had closed the door a sudden idea came into my head. I would go and see Rolf myself; I was not easy with him. I knew his mother could be too severe even with her idolized boy on occasions, but I never could bear a child to be loug un happy. I rose very quietly, so as not to disturb the children, aud threw ou my dressing-gown. I was rather afraid my white fare and bandaged arms would frighten Itolf, until I remembered it was dusk, and he could not see me distinctly. Mrs. Markham's suite of rooms lay in the west corridor. I knew no one would lie aliout; poor Judsou was In bed; so I reached Rolf's room without Interruption I though I heard him sobbing sofiiy to himself us I opened the door. When 1 spoke to him, making my way through the summer twilight to his little bed, he started tip and held out his arms. "Oh, Keuuv, is that really you, dear Kenny Do come close aud let me feel you. I have been thinking of such horrid Jugs. I told him gently that I was In great pain, and that he must not touch rue, but that I would sit dowu for a little while be side him and talk to him. 'Hut I may hold your baud?" he plead ed. "Is your hand burned, too, reuny, or don't you like to touch me because I am such a wicked boy, as mother says, and very nearly killed poor little Reg gie?" My heart melted nt his pitiful toue, ond I stooped over him and kissed his hot face. 'You may hold my haud, Rolf dear, if you like; It is ouly my arms thut are hurt; there, we are comfortable now. Tell me, have you hud a very miserable day?" 'Oh. so miserable! "and there were tear in Rolf's eyes. "Mother has been so an gry; she shut me up in this room, though it was such a flue day, and would not let anyone speak to me: and I could not get her to answer, although I said over and over again that I was sorry, and would not have hurt Reggie for the world: he is such a dear little fellow, you know. Oh! I am so foud of hlni. Hut mother suid no, she would not listen; I had disobeyed her, aud nearly killed Reggie, uud that Auutvloiet would never speak to me again." 'Oh, yes, she will, Rolf!" 'But if Reggie had been really burned. you know," and here Rolf shivered; his baud was quite cold, though his face was burning. He was a nervous, excitable child, and no doubt this long summer's day had been a martyrdom to him. He had conjured up all sorts of horrible faucies to haunt his dreams. Yes, ho had been sufficiently punished, I was sure of thnt. "Tell me how it happened, dear," I said, quietly. "I was firing my cannon to please Joyce. . know mother told me never to take it iu the nursery, and that she did not like my lighting it unless Judson had the match box, but I forgot." "Did you really forget, Rolf?" "Yes. really I did; I never do remember things, you know. I was only thinklug how Joyce would scream wheu the can uon popped. I told them to get out of the way, ouly Reggie, poor little fellow! ran against me and knocked the match out of my baud It was alight, you know and then Joyce did scream, and" but here Rolf buried his head In the pillow: the recollection was evidently too painful. "You will all hute me," he gobbed, "be cause I nearly killed Reggie you and Aunt Violet; and I do love Aunt Violet, because she is so pretty." "Xoouc will hate you, my poor child! we are ouly sorry that the son of a brave soldier like Colonel Markham should be such a coward us to disobey his mother. Yon mother told you to fetch Hannah. Did you forget that, too, Rolf?" "Xo," in a cotisciciiee-slrlckcn voice, "I did not forgot, Kenny, but I thought It would be fuu to tako care of the chil drcn." "Hut It was disobedience, Holf,' just ns much as your coming Into the nursery at that time you took advantage of my nb sense first, nud then of your mother's. 1 thluk a brave soldier like your father would call that cowardly. Now, I want you to listen to u story about the bravest boy ot whom I ever heard." And as I stroked his rough head I told blm the story of Casablanca and the bimilug ship. (To be Continued.) The Soiling of the Pan-Amerieans. New York, May 5. Among tho pas sengers on the steamship La Normandie, which sailed for Havre today, were toque Saenz-Lens, one of tho most pop ular of the Pan-American party, and his wife.

Ignatius Donnelly, State Lecturer of the Minnesota Farm ers' Alliance, says: The Alliance is an association of farm ers. It is national in its character having branches in many States. It is not a secret society. It lias neither grip, password nor oath; therefore there need be no religious scruple on the part of anyone, about joining it. Its meet ings are open. 1 he Alliance is not a political organi zation. It does not interfere with the political alliliations of its members. It raises no question as to whether a man is a Hepublican, a Democrat or a Pro hibitionist. It knows that there are good men in all these parties, and some mean men among the leaders of each. The rogues do uot all think alike on questions of stateinansliip, any more than they do on matters of religion; but they have a happy faculty, nevertheless, of combining against the honest man in a way which is instantaneous and startling. The Alliance, therefore, while it does not propose to start a new party. or (ex cept in a somewhat desperuteextreinity of public aflairs, which is not likely to ew recruits are lieing taken in at every meeting of the alliance in .1 town ship, Seward county. The Fanners' alliance of Platte coun ty has decided to hold a county con vention some time during June. The farmers' alliances and Knights of Labor of Furnas county have invited ex-Senator Van AVyck to name a date when lie can speak at Arapahoe. The alliance of Jierlin, Otoe county, has organized an elevator, stock yard ind lumber company. It will he known as the Herlin stock yard, elevator and lumlier company, and will be located It) feet north of the depot. The Chadron alliance held a meeting Saturday and received a numberof new members. Alliances have lieen organ ized iu Dawes county at Crawford. Whitney and Chadron with a total membership of two hundred and fifty The farmers of Nebraska have at last liegim to realize that 'liu union there is strength," and that in order to accom plish something they must all work to gether, says the Leigh World. The fact that all over the state they are or ganizing is a hopeful sign, and there can be no doubt of their meeting with success in the end. Organize! Says the ilcCook Tribune: There is an unprecedented demand for farms to rent wliieh will be promptly recognized arise) to put a State ticket in the field; and while it thinks that its members can do more good by remaining in their respective party organizations, and try ing to purify and control them, in the interest of the people, nevertheless it does not shrink back from the ballot box or try to politically emasculate its niemliers. It believes that it is the duty of the fanners, who constitute a large majority of the population, and of the taxpayers of the State, to work together to secure good laws for themselves, and the rest of the people. And it knows it can only do this by electing honest and capable men to the Legislature; and to do this there must be concerted action; nnd to secure this there must be organ ization: and there is no organization that proposes or attempts to do this work, Dill llie farmers Alliance. ALLIANCE XOTKS. The alliance meets at Wabash every Saturday afternoon. An effort is being made to start an alliance store at Illverton. The next meeting of the Pender al liance will be held May 10. The Farmer's alliance nt Uee has de cided to pne up a hall of its own. A farmer's alliance has been organ ized at Spring Creek, Dawes county. The alliance of Vcrdon proposes to buy an organ for use in their meetings. An alliance was organized at the Ilofl'enal school house near llulo last week. Harmony alliance, Phelps county will hold a largely attended meeting Tuesday. The Farmer's alliance of Sparta, Knox county, meets regularly every Saturday. An alliance was organized last week at the Pulver school house in Kearney county. Notice is given that there will be a meeting of the Phel.m county alliance at the court house in I Ioldrege Saturday, May 3, at 1 p. m. F.acli sub-alliance is requested to send one delegate for each ten members. All committees appoint ed by the sub-alliance to meet Mny 1 will meet Mav 3 with the county alliance , An alliance will be started at Norden as soon ns the naners arrive. Says the llorealis. That is right, and every far nier in the west end should join, and see if by consolidated work desired ends mav be reached that will benefit the farmer. Organize! That's the word, as one of the most favorable indica tions of the times. The rent asked is centrally one-third tho crop, and on basis the demand is in excess of the supply. Four lodges of the Farmers' alliance have organized a Joint stock company with a capiUl stock of $12,000 and pro nose to establish a grain, stock, irrtple ment and general merchandise business at Heisantori, In Buffalo county. C&WBI0HT;I269' GORMANDIZING, or overeating, or the partaking of too rich and indigestible food, is a common cause of discomfort and suffering. To relieve the stomach and bowels from such overloading, a full dose of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets is the best remedy. They operate gently, yet thoroughly and without griping, nausea, or other unpleasant effects. If the too free indulgence in such intemperate eating has deranged digestion, causing dyspepsia and biliousness, attended with a sense of fullness or bloating after eating, coated tongue, bitter or bad taste in mouth in morning, on arising, drowsiness after meals, indescribable feel ing of dread, or of impending calamity and hypochondria then you need to follow up the use of the Pellets with Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery, to tone up the stomach, invigorate the liver, and set all the processes of digestion at work. While curing indigestion, it purifies the blood, cleansing the system from all humors and blood-poisons no matter of what name or nature, or from what cause arising. Unlike other blood-purifiers, it operates equally well at anj' season of the year. It contains no alcohol to inebriate ; no syrup or sugar to ferment in the stomach and derange digestion. On the contrary, it retards fermenta tion and promotes all the digestive and assimilative processes. It is as wonderful and peculiar in curative results as in its chemical composition. There is nothing similar to it in composition or approaching it in results. Therefore, don't be duped and induced to take some substitute, said to be " just as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit.

A large number of statistics have been collected in connection with the Paris Exhibition, and of these probably the most interesting are those which deal with the total number of journals pub lished in the whole world. They have been collected by La Nature. The facts given show that Germany h;is the honor of publishing the largest number of periodicals in Europe, these numbering 5,500, of which 800 aro dailies. Journals devoted to special religious dogmas, creeds and scientific theories abound more in this than in nny other country. The oldest German journal is the 1'rankford Gazette ties Postes, founded in 1016; the most wide ly circulated, tho Pciliner Tagelatt, issues but 55,000 copies. After Germany comes England, which publishes over 3,000 newspapers, 800 of which are dailies. France follows with a nearly equal number, of which only a quarter are dailies, bi-weeklies, or tri weeklies. Italy holds the fourth rank by publishing 1,100 journals, 200 of which appear at Pome, M0 at Milan, 120 at Naples, l at Turin and 70 tit Florence. Of these 170 are dailies. In A ust.ria-1 1 ttngary there are 1 ,200 journals of which 150 are dailies. So far as other countries are concerted, Spain follows with 850 and liussia with 800, 200 of the latter appearing at St. Peters burg and 75 at Moscow. In Greece journals are proportionately numerous, every little market town and village having one. Athens publishes 54, all of which are dailies. In Switzerland there are 450 journals published, and Helgium and Holland furnish an almost equal number. Jn Sweden, Norway and Portugal journalism is but little culti vated, while in Turkey it is quite act ive. In all, Europe is credited with over 3, 000 journals Turning to Asia, the figures show that here no fewer than 3,000 newspap ers issued, most of which appear in Ja pan and the British Indies. China is very poorly supplied, having but the King-Pan (-flicial journal of Pekin ), which issues three 'editions a day on papers of different colors, and one journ al at Shanghai and one in Corea. Ja pan, on the other hand, publishes 1,500 journals. Africa makes outa very poor show, having but 200 newspapers, thirty of which are published in Egypt and the rest in European colonies. , America has a large share of repre sentation in the world's press, the United States alone issuing 12,500 papers 1,000 of which are dailies. In Canada 700 journals are published, most of which are French. Besides Mexico nnd Brazil, in which quite a number of pajiers are published, it may be stated that the Argentine Republic has sixty journals. Australia is credited with 700 papers, all of which are English. Charles Colby, the new president of the Canadian Privy Council, was born In the United States. HARMONIC TUNE REVEALER!

Mrs. Langtry wanted always a great, deal of attention, but her manners were so gracious that there was a sort of competition behind the counter who should do her biduing. The only tinio T ever personally encountered Mrs. Langtry shopping she was buying silk stockings in light evening shades, and was the only woman on a sheltering June afternoon w'-o looked as if she had her temper or her temperature atall under control. She wore white and the (lowers in her belt showed no signs of drooping. She had secured the best saleswoman in the department for her attendant, and before she matched the color of her evening costume she had interested the buyers on either side of her in her hunt for a peculiar shade of, 1 think, blue. To one young girl with a blush rose complexion she made a direct appeal, and when she rose from her seat sitting is more social than standing, while shopping the young girl and her mother and everybody within noticing distance felt somehow that the Lily was a very delightful sort of woman and that they really roust' go to ee her play. This sort of advertising must have had an influence on the re ceipts in a quiet but effective way. (.'or. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Cure oflho, Hair. Of nothing is a woman prouder tha. of her tine growth of luxuriant hair. It may be the silken chestnut brov n, the bright golden strands or the shining black tresses. Some tell us not to w ash the hair, as it makes it dry and harsh. I can hardly imagine a thing mttro horrible than a dirty head. By till means cleanse the scalp; give it a good shampoo, not everyday, but about onco a week. Every night, before retiring, the hair should be taken down end carefully brushed from ten to lift"in minutes with a still brush, and should then be braided.
