of glycerine and twelve ounces of soft
water. The glycerine will keep the
hair moist. Another, is one pint of
best bay rum and one ounce of castor
oil; this may be perfumed with a
few drops of any desired perfume.
Shake well before using, and do not
use too plentifully. These dressings
are for the hair not the scalp.
Pruritus, or Itching
Several have asked for a remedy
for this distressing affliction. It is
not a disease of itself, but a symptom
of so many unhealthy states of the
system, that there has arisen a for
midable list of prescriptions and sug
gestions for its treatment, none of
which may be just what the sufferer's
condition calls for. A great deal of
itching is caused by eczema, which is
a disorder of the skin, and there are
two forms of this; one is called
"dry" eczema, scaly, which gives rise
to a most persistent and distressing
itching hard to overcome. Another
is called senile pruritus, as it attacks
only old people whose circulation is
defective, and whose skin becomes
atrophied and thin. In many of
these cases, it will be found that
there is very little perspiration, and
this has much to do with the con
stant irritation of which old people
complain, and which often threatens
the health because of nerVous irrita
tion and loss of rest. Often, any
thing that will restore perspiration
will relieve the distress. In "ner
vous" itching, where the skin has
not been broken, relief can often be
had from the use of menthol exter
nally, but this will not cure. Only
attention to general health, and
wearing underclothing which will not
induce the affliction, can be generally
recommended, aided by the advice of
the physician. In many cases, one
of the best remedies is the-applica-tion
of hot water just as hot as can

Stair Carpets
Before laying the carpet, pad each
step with some old pieces of carpet,
worn-out bed-comfort, or even sev
eral thicknesses of newspaper, bring
ing it well down bver the round of
the step, in order to save the wear
of the carpet. The padding on the
step will make climbing the stairs
much easier on the feet. Fold in at
each end of the carpet a half yard
or more, and when it is to be laid
again, this will admit of moving the
carpet up or down, and save the
carpet from getting worn and shabby
on the turn of the step.

F. M. For the lighter forms of
erysipelas, a mixture of equal parts
of sweet oil and turpentine painted
over the surface two or three times
a day, is of unsurpassed efficacy.
H. G. The ringworm is easily
cured. Paint the affected surface
two or three times a day with color
less iodine; or, wet up common black
gunpowder with a little vinegar and
apply twice a day.
M. M. In washing windows, it is
claimed that the cold water soaps,
containing gasoline or naptha, will
clean quicker and better than hot
water and soap, which latter Is apt
to leave the glass streaked. Do not
wash while the sun is shining on the
window.
Fannie For the ordinary wash
shirtwaist, the bishop sleeve, with a
cuff anywhere from three to six
inches deep, will be right. A seven
gored skirt is to be preferred, as, if
fewer gores are used, the skirt is apt
to sag in places after washing.
Mrs. L. A cement that is said to
resist , the action of water, hot or
cold, and which can be used effec
tively for mending almost anything,
is made of litharge mixed with
glycerine to the consistency of cream
or very soft putty. With this, jars,
or coarse earthen ware, can bo mend
ed; leaks in tin pans, wash boilers,
and cracks in kettles, and various
other breaks can be mended satis
factorily with it. The edges to be
joined must be perfectly clean, and
after applying the cement, should not
be used for a week or more, as the
cement must be allowed to perfectly
harden.
The Newcomer
It is said that the best test of a
neighborhood's courtesy is its treat
ment of the new comer. It is not
always desirable to form the ac
quaintance of newcomers, as all new
comers are not desirable acquaint
ances. But it will not take a very
great while, or very close observa
tion to decide upon this. In many
neighborhoods, especially in large
towns and cities, the newcomer is
treated like an Intruder, and some
times it Is years before she is recog
nized by the people among whom she
lives. Especially is this so, if she
be modest, retiring and unobtrusive
qualities which should recommend
her at once.
