Lemon Wash For tha Hair. This preparation is nneqnaled In bringing out the prettiest hues of light hair, and, what is better, it is perfectly harmless, but must be used according to directions. Take one ounce of salts of tartar. Juice of three good sized lemons* one quart of soft or distilled water. Dissolve the salt in the water, which should be tepid, and add the strained Juice of the lemons.

This Busy Age.

“This is a busy age, sure enough,” said a man who prides himself on keeping in touch with old friends. “We get new proofs of it overy day. Not only do we find that we ourselves have less and less time to devote to this, that and the other thing, but we have It brought in upon us that everybody is pretty much in the same fix. “The other morning I had a letter from a chap whom I know pretty well. I say it was a letter. It was and it wasn’t, and in that contradiction lies the point of my remark. A bit of good fortune had happened to him. He had been given a position that counted for a lot, and his home paper had printed an item about it. Wanting to tell me of his luck, he had clipped the item from the sheet, pasted it on a piece of paper and forwarded it to me with his initials scrawled across the bottom. Five years ago he would have sat down and written me. Now he uses shears and paste. Oh, it’s all right I got the information, and that’s the main thing. But we’re all pretty busy, aren’t we?” he concluded—New York Press.

The hare remains quiet, and it to sometimes possible to take him up, terrorized as he to In the midst of the black circle of gobbling beaks and heads. The language of the turkeys to at that time incontestably significant It to warlike and similar to that of the males when they are fighting. In tbs present Instance they have Joined for war, and they make it on the frightened hare. .. ...

All Lives Are Interesting.

Not * blade of graas but has a story to tell, not a heart but has its romance, not a life that does not hide a secret which to either its thorn or its spur. Everywhere grief, hope, comedy, tragedy, even under the petrification of old age, as in the twisted forms of fossils, we may discover the agitations and tortures of youth. This thought to the magic wand of poets and preachers. It strips the scales from our fleshly •yes and gives ns a clear view into human life, it opens to the ear * world of unknown melodies and makes us understand the thousand languages flf nature.—H. F.
