Ki:r h tl:in' harh' ' ?lCf div.orturninggray, i KJ?v Ajer's Hair Vigor jTIip AftTtNt lira of I lie Halr-Drfsers and 1 Its Iteucns When ladies fiud the cutis of their hair splitting they frequently clip off these ends. That b, if they can find them all. for ivith an ahundant "suit of hair," it would be a good day's work to remove every broken end. But this pratiee of clipping has lately been discovered to be all wrong. It leaves the lube of the hair open at the end, allowing the strength to run out Such a practice has been relegated to the place of old suparstition?, such as clipping at new moon. To-day, when a lady finds her hair splitting, she can have it singed. Singeing is now generally practiced by the hair-dressers and many persons believe it to be an entirely new cus tom. It is not, however. It is fully 2,000 yeans old, and was in vogue among the Eomans. The hair is sep arated into strands and then twisted inlo tight lengths like pokers. When twisted so tightly, the broken ends stand out from the goo'd hair. A lighted taper is then run along tho tight length, and the ends are care fully singed off, without touching the good huir at all. JBy an expert, it can be done in less than half an hour. No amateur should attempt if, as it might prove very dangerous. It is necessary to hold the rope of hair perfectly straight out from the head, and firmly, with the left hand, while the right gently applies the taper. It is said that singeing not only re moves the broken ends, but cauterizes the ends left, closing the tubes. The hair is thus improved, because the strength and color are kept in. After singeing, the hair always looks better and keeps an even length. Gray hairrf often creep in and dark ones fall out, not because of approaching age, but because the hair itself is not prop erly nourished. This is caused quite as often as anj thing else by a lady's own carelessness in clipping. She may also cause it by using hair brushes which cut tho hair, by comb ing it with too tine a comb, or by not brushing it enough. Hair cannot I e brushed too much, but almost eveiy- body uses the comb to excess. If tho hair is kept in good order, singeing will not have to be repealed ofteuer than once a year though several ladies go to Portland about once in three months to have their hair singed. A good many of the sterner sex abo find it beneficial. The charge is 40 cents and it does the hair $10 worth of good. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria iVhen Baby vrzs sic!:, we gave her Castoria.

A new puzzle has just struck Wash ington City, and it will not be many days before half the people in town are trying to solve the mystery of the "spider and the flies." Since the "pigs in clover" made such a weird success there have been all sorts of modifica tions of the idea and attempted im provements upon it; but this is quite a now departure, and 'is sufficiently difficult to be exceedingly interesting. The thing is nothing but a flat wooden box four inches square with n glass top. The bottom of the box is covered with pasteboard, on which is drawn a cobweb, Avith a big spider in the cen ter, and in the middle of the insect is a round hole, cut out of the paste board. Also, loose in tho box, four little discs of felt, two blue and two red, about the size of a lead pencil's butt end. And, painted on the four corners of the cobweb, near the four corners of the box, are four spots, two red and two blue, not so big as the discs. Last and most importani is a drop of mercury as big as one of the felt discs. All these things are inclosed beneath the glass, so that they cannot possibly get out. The puzzle is, according to the rules that aro pasted on the bottom of the box, to hold the box in the hand, and by tilting it cause the spider (quick silver) to push or carry tho flies (felt discs) on the colored spots the red ones on the red and the blue ones on the blue. When this is done, retire the spider to the hole in the center, without disturbing the discs, and the object is "accomplished. The flies must not be shaken, jarred or jogged to their positions, but must be moved by the spider alone.
