; Written for the National Banner. LINES TO CORA VANPHERSON. : ' BY J. E.eILSBY. : ; May every zorrow earth can bring . ' Belight, and seon depart; And love and hope a halo fling Of gladness round thy heart. . And may each joy be pure, and bright As morning dew on flowers; Each gentle thonght rich incense bring, To cheer thy pensive hoars, : ) Thus sweetly may thy hours glide on, ; Ar music’s soothing powers; ‘When wand’ring zephyrs kiss the strings, - In bright, perennial bowers, And as the soft, entrancing lay Dies-on the air of even;, ! May thy glad spirit soar away, And mingle into heaven.’ na . TOM’S WIFE. [From Appleton’s Magazine.] - . We had just finished breakfast.— Tom laid down an egg spoon he had been playing with, and looked across at mother. L ; " “Aunt Anna, I think I'll take a wife,” he said,. exactly as he might have said, “I think I’'ll take another cup of coffee.” ' : “Take a wife!” repeated mother, by no means receiving the information as tranquilly as it had been given.— “What for?” - : “Well,ldon’t know,” answered Tom, thoughtfully, “It’s a notion I have got in my head, somehow.” “All nonsense!” said mother, very sharply. S _ “Do you think so?” said Tom, apparently doubtful, but not in the least put out. “Think so? I know it. Whatin the world can you want of a wife? After all these years we have lived so comfortably together, to bring home somebody to turn-the house upside down! And then what'’s to- become of that poor child ?” .| : The “poor ¢hild”—that was I—reddening at being'brought into the argument in thid way, was about to speak for herself when Tom interposed warmly: s “I'm sure May knows I would never have any wife who would make it less a home for her—don’t you, May ?” “Of course,” I said. :

“And I'm sure she know’s nothing of the sort,” persisted my mother, “nor you, either, Tom Dean. How can you answer for what a wife may take into her head to do, once you get her fixed here? You can’t expect her to forget, ‘as you do, that May has no real claim on you.” '. ¢ “That I have no real claim on her, I suppose you mean, ma’am,” Tom put in for the second time, just as I was getting thoroughly uncomfortable.— “But for all that I intend to keep her —that is,” with one of his short-sight- | ed blinks sideways at me, “as long as she’ll stay with me, eh, May? And whoever has anything to say against that arrangement will have to go out’ of my house to say it—mnot that I'm afraid of such result in this case—and, on the whole, Aunt Anna, I should like to try the experiment.” ' Mother smiled grimly, but Tom was 80 evidently bent on his “experiment,” as he called it, that she gave up the argument. ¢ “You can dance if you're ready to pay the piper,” she said shortly. “And pray, how soon do you mean to be married ?”’ : : Tom’s face fell a little at this question. e “Well,” said he, I can’t say exactly. I suppose we have to be engaged first. “What!” said mother, opening her eyes; “Why you never mean to say, Tom, you haven’t spoken to her yet ?” “Not yet,” answered Tom, cheerfully. “Time enough for that, you know, after I have spoken to you.” ' Mother, as a minister’s widow, was not mueh given to idle mirth that is as the cracking of thorns under a pot, but now she leaned back and laughed until the tears stood in her eyes. “Well,” she said, #if it was anybody else I should say he was ecracked; but you never were like other people, and you never will be, Tom Dean. But, at: least, you have fixed on the lady.” “0, yes,” answered Tom ; “but if you will excuse me, Aunt Anna, I would rather not say anything about her just yet; for, if—if anything should happen, it wouldn’t be pleasant for either party, you know.” With veiled allusion to his possible rejection, Tom took his hat and left the room. @ '

Our household was rather queerly put:together. There was. no particular reason why I should have been of it at all; for I was not really related to Tom, nor even to “mother,” as I called her, though I am sure we were as dear to each ‘other as any mother and daughter could be. She was the second wife of my father, who:like most ministers had been richer in grace than in goods, and had left us at his death with a very little to live on. Then it was that Tom Dean had come forward, and insisted on giving a home to his aunt and to me, whom he had scarcely seen a dozen times in his life before. :.That was exactly like Tom—“queer Tom Dean,” friends were fond of saying, “who never did anything like anybody else.” : ' I suppose, in spite of his clear head for business, there is no denying that he was whimsical; but I am sure; when I think of his unfailing generosity and delicacy, I can’t help wishing there were a few more such whimsical people in the world. Naturally, at the time I am speaking of my opinion had not been asked; all I had to do was to go where mother went, and while she gave her energies to the house keeping, I gave mine to growing up, which by this time I had pretty well accomplished.. But perhaps . for that very reason—for one sees with different eyes at twelve and eighteen—my position in the house had already begun to seem unsatisfactory to me; and the morning’s words putit in a clearer light, since it had been used as an argument against Tom’s marrying. I knew that mother had spoken honestly, believing that such a step would not be for his happiness; but was not he the best judge of that? ’

I knew him, if reflection should bring him round to her opinion, to be perfectly capable of quietly sacrificing his own wishes for my sake, who had not the shadow of a claim on him; so it must be my part to prevent his own kindness being turned against him now. Still it was not easy to see how I was to provide for myself, in case it should become advisable. What could Ido? Draw and sing and play tolerably, but'not in a manner to compete with the hosts ‘that would be in the field against me. Literature? I had read so many stories whose heroines, with a turn of the pen, dashed into. wealth and fage. Tﬁ‘t would be very nice, only—l was not the least little bit literary; I had never even kept a journal, which is saying a great deal

for a girl in her teens. The fine arts, then, being out of the gnestion for me, what remained? There was some clerkship, or, perhaps, a place in some family, and—and there was Will Broomly! G o That may seem like going away , from the point, but it was not. I was ! matter-of-fact but I could see well enough what was goidg on right under my eyes, and I had a pretty clear idea of what was bringing Will to the house so often as he had taken to coming lately. There was a “situation” then, that would give me the home life I liked best, and felt myself best suited for; but—would it answer in other respects? I over-cast the long seam I was sewing twice over, I was 80 busy trying to make up my mind ‘whether T liked Will Broomly well enough to pass my whole life with him; and even then I had not come to any decision, when I was called down | stairs to Miss Letty Walters. ' Letty was the prettiest, I think, of all my friends, and certainly the liveliest. Tom called her “the tonic,” and. use to laugh heartily at her bright speeches. I suppose it was this that made mother fix on Letty as his choice, When T came into the sitting-room I found a Kkind of cross-examination go--ing on. It was amusing te anybody in the secret; as I was, to watch mother’s artful way of continually bringing the conversation round, -as if by chance, to bear on what she wanted to know. But it all amounted to nothing, either because Letty was too good a fencer, or because she really had nothing to betray; but when Tom came home, mother took: care to men- | tion that Letty had called. | “What, the tonic ?” said Tom. | “Too bad I missed her.” S e “But for your choice being already made,” said mother with a convert serutiny of his face, “I dare say you might have as much of the tonic as you liked.” o ~ “But I-go the homepathic princif)le, ‘you know,” answered Tom, with a ‘twinkle in his eye. L After that mother’s belief in Letty’s guiltyness wavered. Her suspicions were transferred from one to another of our acquaintances, but always with the same satisfactory result. - ; “It passes my comprehension,” she said to me, desparingly, one day. “I am positive I could tell the right one by Tom’s face in a minute, and yet I have mentioned everybody we know.” +“Perhaps it*is somebody we, don’t" know,” I suggested—“some friend of his we have never seen.” . “What! a perfect stranger?” said mother; sharply. “Never talk to me, child; Tom is not capable of that” I was sorry, for I did not want to worry her, but that was my opinion all the time. I P The same evening—it was rather more than a week sinece Tom had hurled that thunderbolt of his at us—mother began about it openly. “When are you going to introduce your wife to us,Tom? I suppose you have come to. an understanding by this time ?” i i e “Oh, there’s no hurry,” Tom said, as he had said before; but this time he did not speak quite so cheerfully.— “The fact is,” he continued, with a little hesitation—“there’s a rival in the case.” v “A rival?” repeated mother, with unfeeling briskness. Ll “Yes, a young fellow—younger by a good deal than I am,” and Tom’s face | assumed an absurdly doleful look.— “He is always there now. I confess I don’t see my way clear; I'm waiting for her to make up her mind.” | “And she’s waiting, most likely, for you to make up yours,”, and mother, forgetting, in her propensity to right matters, that she was playing the en- | emy’s game. } : - ' “There’s something in that that never occurred to me,” said Tom, his face brightening. Mother saw her mistake and made a counter-move at once. s &

“But the ways of my times are oldfashioned now; young ladies, now-a-days, take matters into their own hands. If she cared for you, you may be pretty sureshe wouldn’thave waited till this time to let you know it—that is, I judge by the girls I am in the habit of seeing; but if this one is a stranger to me—"’ (here mother rivited her eyes on Tom’s face; oh, dear, my unfortunate words!) “if she is an entire stranger, I cannot pretend to form any opinion of her, of course.” : _ “Of course,” repeated Tom, absently. “Not that I have any such an idea,” resumed mother, growing warmer; “I have said, and I say again, that to bring a perfect stranger under this roof is not my opinion of you, Tom.” I felt my mother’s words like so many needles and pins; for Tom was looking meditatively across at me, and, though that was just a way of his, it seemed now as if he were reading in my face that the opinion was mine, and that I had been meddling in what did not concern me. I felt myself, for very vexation, getting redder every moment, till it grew intolerable. “It is so warm ‘here,” I said for an excuse turning towards the French w;.in(_iow. “I'm going to get a breath of air.” :

1 went out into our little strip of garden ground; Tom followed. I thought I should never have a better opportunity to say what I had in my mind to say, so I waited for him by the bench under the old pear tree.— “Sit. down here, Tom,” I said, “I’ve something to say to you.” “Have you?” said Tom ; “that’s odd for I—well, never mind that, just yet. What is it, May §” W “Tom,” I said, still surer now he had misjudged me, and more resolved to set him right, “I want a place.” “A place?” repeated Tom, puzzled, as well he might be, by this sudden and indefinite announcement; “what kind of a place?” “I don’t know,” I said, for, indeed, my ideas were of the vaguest. “I thought you might know, being in the way of those things. ' Now pray, Tom,” I went on quickly—“don’t fancy I am discontented, or—or anything of that sort; the truth is, ever since I left off school I have wanted something to do, and had it in my mind to speak to you aboubadbs’ e ey : With this I looked -at Tom, fearing he might be vexed; but he did not look vexed, only preoccupied. - “I'do know of aplace, as it happens,” he said after a while, “only I'm not sure how it would suit you.” : “That’s soon seen,” said I. “What is it like ?” S e ~ “Well, it's a sort of —of general usefulness—" £ 2 - “Why, it must be to run errands,” said I, laughing. “And where is it, TQI%\V?”'” -i g , “Well,” said Tom, hesitatingly again, “it;s with me.” ' gly e ~_“How very nice,” ‘T exclaimed.— “How soon can I have it?” ' “The sooner the better, so far as I am concerned,” said Tom, and . with

that he turned round and looked at me, and directly as T met his eyes I knew, somehow;all in a moment, what he meant; and I knew, too, both that I could not 'have passed all my life with ‘Will Broomly, and why I could not. ; 5 S " I am sure Letty Walters, who interrupted us just then, must have thought my wits were wandering that evening; and, indeed, they were, for I was completely dazed with the sudden turn things had taken. But Tom, who had | the advantage of me there, took it quite coolly, and laughed and talked with Letty just the same as ever till ‘she went away. _ o It was pretty late when we went in. Mother sat where we had left her, knitting in the twilight. “Wasn’t that Letty Walters with you awhile ago ?” she said as we came up. L “Yes,” said I, with a confused feeling of something being necessary; “she just came to bring the new cro-, chet pattern she promised me.” C¥H’m!” said mother, as much as to ‘say she had her own ideas as to what Letty came for. ' : Tom had been wandering about the room in an absent sort of a fashion, taking up and putting down in the wrong places all the small objects that fell in his way. He came up and took a seat by mother. I became of a sudden very busy- with the plants in the window; for I knew he was going to tell her. - : “Wish me joy, Aunt Anna,” said he. “It is all settled.” - ~ ; “Settled, is it ?” said mother, in anything but a joyful tone. “Soit’sasl suspected all along. “Well you have my best wishes, Tom; perhaps you may be happy together after all—l’'m sure I hope sO.” ol This wasn’t a very encouraging sort of congratulation, and Tom seemed rather taken aback by it. s “I’'m sorry you’re not pleased,” he said, after a pause; “I had an idea somehow ‘you would be.” _ “I don’t know from what you judged. But there, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. = You’ll be married directly, I presume; I must be looking out for a house,” and mother stroked her nose reflectively with a knitting-needle. “What for ?” said Tom; ,“I thought of keeping on here all the same.” “I never supposed otherwise,” said mother. “Of course I did not expectto turn you out of your own house.” ~ “But what is. the need of looking out for another then ?” ; ' _ “Why, for myself ?” “For yourself!” repeated Tom, in a tone of utter amazement. “Going to leave us—just now? Why Aunt Anna, I never heard of such a thing!” - “Now, Tom,” said mother speaking ver{)fast, and making her needles fly in cencert, “we might as well come to an understanding at once on this subJeet. lam frlly sensible of your past kindness—now just let me finish—l say I appreciate it, and have tried to do my duty by you in return, as I hope I should always be ready to do. I wish-all good to you and your wife, and shall be glad to help her if ever I can, but tolive in the same house with her-is what would turn out pleasantly for neither of us, and, once for all, I ean’t do it.” :

“Aunt Anna,” said Tom, pushing back his chair, and staring in mother’s excited face, “either you or I must be out of our wits.” | ' “It’s not me, then, at any rate,” retorted mother, getting nettled. - Amusement and a certain embarrassment had kept me a silent listener so far, but there was no standing this; I itjrie(_l to speak but could not, for laughter. - © 4T think you are all out of your wits together,” said mother, turning sharply. “What ails the. child? ' It’s no laughing matter.” - “You don’t understand each other,” I grasped; “oh, dear!it—it’s not Letty —oh—oh, dear!” and relapsed again. “Not Letty ?” repeated mother, turning to Tom. “Then why did you tell e 50 ?” i P : “I never told you so,” said Tom. “Why, yes you did,” persisted mother, “You came in and told me you were going to be married.” . “Yes,so I am,” said Tom, still at Crosspurposes. ’ “Now, Tom Dean,” said mother, rising and confronting him, “what do you mean? 'Who is going to be your wife ?” | ! “Why, May, of course,” answered Tom. i ' _ . “May!” And then, after a pause of inexpressible :}stonishment, it was mother’s turn'to laugh. “Do youmean to say, Tom, it was that child you were thinking of all the while ?” “Why, who else could it be?” ‘said Tom, simply. ; © “Well, said mother, “I ought to-havé remembered you never do anything like anybody else. But, still, why in the world did you go to work in such a round-about way?” : . - “I wanted to see how you toock my idea,” said Tom. : “And how did you suppose we were to guess your idea meant May?” mother asked. . ‘ “Who else could it be?” repeated Tom falling back on what he evidently found an unanswerable argument.— It was nouse talking to him. Mother gave it up with a shake of the head. “You won’t want another house then, Aunt- Anna?” said Tom suddenly. That set mother off again; Tom joined with her, and altogether Idon’t think we ever passed a merrier evening than the one that made us acquainted with Teom’s wife. !

Good Substitute for Lath. Wire netting for plastering is being rapidly introduced to take the place of lath. It takes less labor to place on the walls, is more continuous, and will not burn. Coarse netting with omne inch mesh, and made of streng wire, is found to answer best. For ornamental cornice work it is especially valuable, as it can be bent into any desired form. Secured to iron studding in a brick building, our greats. est danger on aceount of fire would be removed. A still further application of this plan is to make round bags of wi£ resembling barrels, and to coat the'inside and out with cement. When it hardens they resemble stone barrels. Filled ‘with sand and sunk in rows and masses, they make excellent building material for break-waters. Another extension of theidea has been tried with success in England. It consists of making iron framed buildings, covering them with iron netting and spreading eoncrete on both sides. It is claimed that a house—walls, roof,, doors, partitions and all—has been thus built that is strong, firm, and absolutely incombustible. Various ap--plications of the use of wire netting, and plaster and cement, readily suggest themselves, and the mafter is ~worthy of the attention of meechanies and builders.. ... . ikrioie o b

“THE GRAPHIC” BALLOON. . Description of the Monster Air Ship Now Constructing for Prof. Wise.! ' From the New Ycrk Graphic, . In answer to numerous inquiries on the subject, we give the following details as to the dimensions, material, outfit, ete., of the balloon to be used in the great translantic voyage. They are: from specifications made by Mr, Donaldson: S S e T There will be two balloons, the lar< gest of which will-be 318 feet in ecircumference, 100 feet in diameter, and 100 feet in height. - When inflated and ready to start, the extreme height of the apparatus, from the crown of the balloon to the Kkeel of' the life boat, will be 160 feet. ot it - The great balloon will require 4,316 yards of cloch. - The material is unbleached ‘muslin—of . a thick, dose quality, of the brand known as “Indi-. an Orchard.” The crown of the balloon will be doubled for a distance of fifty feet from the-top, with 150 yards’ of the same material, and 'a third thickness will be-added of “Manches- - ter Mill,” bleached, of which 250 yards are required. . tianau el g - There will be 14,080 yards, of eight miles of sewing, in which *10,137;600 st 'tches will be made The stitching is now being performed at the show: rooms of the Domestic Sewing Machine Company, by a force of twelve seamstresses. ' The thread used is silk and cotton, the top spool being silk. ~ ° - The valves of the balloon' will be three feet in. diameter -and made of Spanish ceder, with- a rublier coated clapper closing on a brass plate. The valve fixtures and top of the balloon are the essential partsof. the appara: tus, and are being; constructed with special care, to guard against any acci-. dent or derangement. . - Encae e h The net work will be composed of three strand tarred rope, known as “marlin.” The width ot the net will be 212 meshes, and -its. breaking: strength will be 58,300 pounds. Five hundred pounds of “marlin” will be. used. - From the netting fifty three ropes, five-eighth inc¢hes in diameter, of Manilla, will connect with the concentrating rings. The ropes will each be ninety feet in' length; or 4,770 in the- aggregate. The concentrating. rings will be three in humbher, to fﬂard,_ against breakage, and. will b¢ each ‘fourteen inches in-diameter, each ring being of wood, iron bound. - The rings will sustain the ecar,.life boat, and trailing rope, and will bear the stain, when the anchor is thrown out in landing. From the concentrating rings 24 Manilla .one-inch ropes, -each 22 feet long, or requiring 527 feet in-all, will: depend and form the frames for an oc--tagonal-shaped car. They will be kept. in place by light hoeps, made of ash.— The lowerropes will be'connected with network at the bottom of the ear, a light pine floor will be laid loesely, so that it can be throwy gut if required,’ ‘The car will be covered with duck, of ‘which fifty yards will be needed. Attached to the side of the ear will be a | light iron:windlass, from which thé boat and trail, can be raised and lowered as may be desired. - From a pulley attached to the concentrating rings a heavy Manilla rope will fall down thro’, the car, and thence to a sling, attached to which will be the life boat.— This boat %vill be of the most approved and carefu -rgonstmction. It will have water tight- compartments; slipping keel, and will be so.made that it will be selfrighting. The boat will be provided with acomplete outfit of oars and sails, and to it will be lashed in-. struments, .guns, lines, ete.,; and provisions for 30 days, all in water tight cases. - . VI S A e s e

The tail rope, by which the aeronaut can maintain any desired altitude: without resorting te ballast, will-be of Manilla rope; 14 inch thick; and 1,000 feetlong. . . .« i ‘The car will be provided with instruments, provisions, ete., independently of the boat. It will-be so.-con-. structed that it can be taken apart piecemeal and be disposed of as ballast, which- will consist of bags of sand,’ each earefully weighed ‘and marked. ‘Among the instruments to be- carried in the car there will be a galvanic battery with an alarm, two barometers, two chronometor watches, & compound thermometer; a wet and dry bulb thermometor, a hydrometer,. componer, quadrant, chart, parachutes, with fireballs attached, and so arranged as to explode when striking the water, so. .as to indicate phe direction traversed; ‘marine glasses, two vacuum- tubes, a lime stove, ete, ' A number of carrier pigeons will be taken -along, and dispatched at intervals on the route with intelligence-of the progress of the expedition. 1 i epi e eel e The smaller balloon will be forty: feet in heighit and. thirty-four feet in diameter, and will be made from 403 yards of “Manchester Mills.” . Its network will consume 20 pounds of 45 thread cotton cord, and six pounds of Italian hemp. It will be attached to the concentrating 'rings of thelarge balloon, and will be used as ‘may 'be. required to test the upper currents or assist in feeding the large balloon. « The balloon; will be coated with a. varnish. made of ‘boiled linseed. oil, - beeswax, and benzine, and of ithese ingredients one thousand gallons will be used. S T S The capacity of the- great balloon will be 600,000 cubic. feet of.gas, but it will be inflated with but 400,000 cubic feet, which at the height of one ‘mile and three-quarters, will expand sufficiently to fill the balloon. 'Fhe lifting power of the illuminating gas is about. thirty-five pounds to the thousand feet, so that the balloon will have a lifting capacity of sixteen thousand pounds. The pressure will ‘be one and a half pounds to the square ine¢h. = = The weight may be summed up as followss,. 7 i e : s Ssnsierade S Rlnne, Balloon ..., .\, oo v v, 40000 Net'and ropes... 5. iai v 800 Car.v..oo et ol sOl Boatiic: i o niisicii HOD Drag ¥apes. . wsyvviiiiinntiai | 800, Anchor and. grapnels. ..

fooay Trde TOmMDEranoe. . .. o Strange as the statement may seem to those who know the exégge'rati'\kg tendency of the French character, thefirst really rational movement in favor. ‘of temperance which has come.to our ‘notice is of Parisian origin. A little more than a year ago .a temperance ‘seciety was organized in Paris chiefly through the exertions of Dr. Lunier, who was appointed its secretary-gen-eral; and from this gertleman’s reeéntly published report wé leam the objects:of the association. = - A marked increase in crime and an alarming augmentation in the number of the insane are statistically connected with the \growing consumption of , alcoholic' liquors distilled from grain and beet-root, which for thirty years past have been gradually supplanting the juice of the grape, bnce the almost exclusive beverage of France. Dr. Lunier, ' we read, “a‘lthoug%va teetotaler himself, does not appréve of the absolute exclusion of wine as a dietic drink, ‘as he does not belieye that any: wine, whatever may be its strength, ¢an when taken in moderation do any harm, ‘provided, of course, that the wine be the natural, unsophisticated Jjuiee of the grape; whereas alcohol in ‘any other form or coﬁtl}i,nati’on is a Jboisen even in the smallest doses. .He never knew of a case of delirium tre‘mens, or alcohalism, breught on by the exclusive use of wine. His object and that of the society is; therefore, not to abolish the use of natural wines, but to replace spirituous liquors by more healthful beverages, such as cider, coffee, tea and beer,”” - S * ~Until some superhuman means be diseovered to'mould all human temperaments after one pattern, the only : ‘practical way ta .suppress intemper--anee will be to encourage the use of comparatively innocent stimulants instead of the surely deleterious amylie spirits which eraze rather than exhil- | erate, and almost inevitably induce physical -and mental degradation.— - There is quite as much philosophy as fun in the English chorus——whicﬁmluf . legislators would do well to Tearn: Fri ML iy eyés if ever I trics ; ~ -Torob a poor man of his beer.” =« ! . o F ikl % s Post Office Robberies. e Viek’s Floral Guide says: "We have sometimes thought, and perhaps un-. charitably, that if the Pgst Office De--partment would give some of the time now. devoted to unnecessary rulings to obtaining honest subordinates, our losses: by robberies in the mails would be much reduced. If thisjudg=s’ ment is harsh, our apology is the an- - noyance and vexation caused by haying over three thousandmoney letters and packages stolen Tf‘rc)m us in passing through the mails every year.— Fhe money loss we eould bear with comparative patience, but-the annoyance and delay to old customers; especially at planting time, is something we cannot .endure with becoming equanimity. From'January Istto May - 28,1873, we have had statements of 1,820 letters sent ugby customers, containing $2,522,47, which we never received.— In the same time we sent 409 packages of seeds by mail, valued at $663.70, which did not reach their destination. .We have not only to endure this loss of money and seeds, but our customers have to suffer by delay— In the same time 230 post office orders sent by mail did not reach us, amounting in value to $1,026. This we did not lose, as we could obtain duplicate money orders. : -

e Dandruff. : - Dandraff cannot be prevented. It is a mnatural productién upon every part of the body’ where hain is found. It shows more abundantly upén the head from more /active growth of hairupon- the scalp, the facilities for cols lecting, and the contrast it bears in early life to the colorof the ‘hair. = ° “- It is formed in this wise: ' That portion of'the shaft of the hair which is contained within the hair-tube is kept steady in its position by contact with the lining scarf-skin of the tube; and as this skin is continually undergoing the process of formation and exfoliation the superficial scales of the sheath, are moved toward the aperture with the grown hair, and are then scattered on the surface in the form of scurf; or dry skin; as the moisture on coming ‘to" the. surface evaporates, these dry scales necessarily form. It is, therefore, a healthy and natural excretion, and should be removed but not prevented. So, when ‘the vendor wishes to sell you a lotion to prevent dandruff, just keep your money, and tell him you have a comb and plenty of Clear soft- water, which is the best 10--tion that should be applied to the hair. —Quardian of Health. = :
