Notes and Comment

Of Interest to'Women Readers

DRIES HAIR QUICKLY. Tubs Holds it Outstretched While Electricity Supplies Heat. One thing that makes the washing of the hair a troublesome proceedure for so many women, and which also prevents them from enjoying surf

bathing, Is the length of time it takes the hair to dry. This difficulty la overcome by the drying apparatus invented by a New York man, which will dry the hair thoroughly In a few minutes. The apparatus consists of a tube leading from a semi-spherical reflector in which are fixed a cluster of electric bulbs. At the front end of the tube Is a sheet of flexible waterproof material, with a drawing string so that it can be adujsted over the head, while the hair is stretched out at length along the tube and the electric lights turned on. It takes a very short time for.the heat thus generat ed to dry the hair as well as an houi or two In the sunshine would da Far-sighted folk at seashore resorts wIH lay In a stock of these dryen and rob the ocean of the terrors it holds for milady who is particulai about her hair.

Household Suggestions.

A warm poultice of strong hops ant vinegar bound on an aching ear wll give instant relief. A teaspoonful of strong lime-watei will cure the worst case of colic. To restore black lace, use a strong solution of vinegar’and water. Rlnst in cold coffee and iron while damp with a piece of flannel between iroi and lace. A traditional Virginia cure for agu\ is nine scoops of water in the holloa of the right hand from a cold spring three mornings before sunrise, follow ed by a cup of strong coffee wit) lemon Juice. This is positively claim ed to be a never-failing remedy. Hop-yeast thickened with pulver ized charcoal will cure any case a gangrene. Change poultices regular!) each night and morning.' To destroy proud flesh, heat largt shells from either sea or lake, cod and pulverise very fine, then sprinkh on sore. A far better remedy thai burnt alum. To remove grease from wood, free ly apply a strong solution of saltpetre and immediately wash off with cold soft water. To restore India rubber to its nat ural pliancy, soak half an hour in one part ammonia and two parts cold wa ter. —Aunt Fannie.

A Young Woman’s Opinion of Men

Is the American young man conceit ed? Ask me something hard. Hit chief form of entertainment is by pay ing long, stupid calls. If he were not conceited he would know that we de not enjoy it, although for the name and fame of popularity we endure them. He spends long evenings is discoursing upon his own superior talents and pursuits, while we smile, ad< mire and applaud, sometimes fortify ing our positions with a chafing dish spread, for the chafing dish Is invalua ble as a social asset nowadays. Sometimes our patience and our es forts are rewarded. Sometimes, on rare occasions, we are "taken out** A girl who has made considerable study of the subject, however, says “it takes at least ten 'sit in the parlor* calls to pay for at least one trip to the the atre.” Now, this does not mean that he is stingy; he merely thinks his own company furnishes all the enter tainment possible.

Turn-Overs for Comfortables.

Bilkollne and delicate colored com fortables are too quickly soiled across the top where they come in contact with the hands and face. Even the upper sheet, turned over, will not stay in place to protect the edge. I re-cently-tried a simple expedient: 1 took a slip of sheeting, just the width of the comfortable I wished to pro tect, and finished the end which folded over the top, like a fancy sheet with hand-embroidered initial and button-holed edge, The slip was about eighteen Inches long, and doubled over the edge. This I basted to the top of the comfortable and it looks like an elaborate finishing touch ts my pretty silk comfortable, yet can be frequently removed for laundering. —O, if- IL,

Hot Woather Bathing.

Remember in hot weather that you are cooler after a hot bath than one that Is Ice cold. The hot water drawn the blood to the surface, making the skin moist and cool; a cold bath induces rapid circulation, which means

Various Signs and Customs of Spilling Salt Appear as Magical Many Paintings of “The Last Show the Salt Cellar Overturned—Proverbs of Many Countries Founded on

long been . known as a wondrously powerful agent in magic. Perhaps that Is why children are advised to put some on a bird’s tail in order to catch it The Germans of Lancaster County believe that a boy may be cured of homesickness by placing salt In the hems of his trousers and making him look up the chimney. In India the natives rub salt and wine on scorpion bites, believing that this application will banish the demons of pains. In Bavaria and the Ukraine, In order to ascertain whether a child has been the victim of enchantment, the mother licks its forehead; and if she can distinguish a saline flavor, she Is convinced that her offspring has been under the Influence of the evil eye. But saft does not apear in folklore only as a magical agent Being one of the principal savors of food it is often mentioned in proverbs. In the Spanish province of Andalusia the word “salt” is synonymous with gracefulness and charm of manner and you cannot address your sweet heart more flatteringly than to call her “the salt-box of my love." The phrase, “May you be well salted,” is also current In Spain as an expression of affectionate regard. “Cum grants sails” suggests the use of the ever sweetening grain of common sense while listening to Some exaggerated story. Marco Polo tells us that in Thibet pieces of salt were used as currency,

as is the case in the Soudan at the present day. The esteem with which salt is greeted,ls not unanimous, however. About the year 1830 there appeared in England a volume by a certain Dr. Howard with the following title: “Salt, the forbidden fruit or food; and the chief cause of diseases of body and mind of man and animals, as taught by the ancient Egptian priests and wise men and by scriptures, In accordance with the author’s experience of many years.’’

A Big Squab Farm.

The largest squab farm in the country has 17,500 pairs of parent birds. This gives 175,000 squabs a year, which are sold at about 30 cents' apiece, or $52,500 in all. Then there is an ’’-ccme from old breeders weeded ir<d sold for pigeon shoots at 35 o«n J a pair. The big hoot in Florida'a couple of months ago cleared all the Pniladelphia squab farms of old birds. The pigeons breed for five years, and by that time make tough targets for the expert trap shooter. The squab business is expanding wonderfully. One farm is planned to breed J. 00,000 pairs. The railroads now carry grain in carload lots to the farms. Squabs mean a saving of game, as they go now Instead of game birds at nine banquets out of ten. There is all the possibility in them for a tidy little trust One of these days when your squab Jumps suddenly in price, you will know that the Squab Trust is tn being.

Paying Pecan Trees.

A stranger coming to Tallahassee is surprised at the great number of pecan trees found in the yards, gardens and oh the streets. They are everywhere, and thousands upon thousands spring up every season, where the nuts ire washed by the rain or dropped by the birds which feast upon them. -If these trees had been budded with merchantable varieties when young they would now be producing thousands of bushels of the finest nuts annually, but of even thqse inferior varieties Tallahassee sells hundreds of dollars worth each year.— Tallahassee Bulletin.

Wireless Typewriter.

A typewriter operated by wireless telegraphy Is the wonderful production of a Danish Inventor’s Ingenuity. The apparatus Is described with Illustration tn Popular Mechanics. By working the keyboard of a sending typewriter, a little pin corresponding with that particular key comes In contact with a traveling metal hand, and so starts an electric wave from the antennae of the wireless apparatus. This wave Is caught by the antennae at the distance station, is communicated to the receiving machine, and is recorded by it on paper as a letter

In the Sewing Room A piece of bobbin stitched over the raw edge turned up once makes a neat and a strong finish for the bottom of gulmpes. Bobbin in various widths may be used in many ways both on new sewing and for mending clothing. To darn a won place In a shirtwaist or other material, lay a piece of paper, not too stiff oathe wrong side and stitch back and forth on the sewing machine to cpver the spot. The paper will keep the material from puckering and will come off In the wash. Men's shirts often wear out about the neck band, when the remainder of the garment is fairly good. With little labor a good looking plain shirtwaist tor wear about me nouse can be made from . such shirts. The sleeves need a little altering. The front plait with buttonholes is used for the closing of waist. If the shirts are too badly worn to pay to remake in this manner they can be used to good advantage in making ©overs for blankets, comforters, eta,, when not in use. Out off the sleeves and sew up armholes. Cut off buttons. They Will be of use on some other garment. Sew up front and neck opening, and by pinning over the lower part of the shirt you have a good dust proof protector. When darning white or muslin dresses torn at the laundry, a bit of plain lace used instead of muslin gives a most satisfactory result Use black lace if the garment is dark. White is'most often needed, pie thin lace, so aids a dainty needlewoman that even a large darn is not easily found when pressed with warm Iron. In embroidering use cotton cable cord for padding the buttonhole stitches. It is much easier than the old way of using filling in stitches. Shirtwaists that are out of style and material too good to throw away can be made.into little boys* blouses, aged 5,6, and 7 years. Cut the seams open, take out the gathers at waist line. You can make the style opening down the front or side, using the same hems for buttons and buttonholes, Just cutting the sleeve over. You will be surprised what nice blouses you can make with little work.
