The flnest contour of a female fare. the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the head 1:: crowned with
scant hair. Scant and f: lllng hair, it Is
no# known. Is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the srtilp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tle white scales the germ throws up In
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
d andruff permanently, then, and to st^p
falling hair, that germ must be killed,
ypwbro's Herplcide. an entirely new re

the danilrnfT germ. and. of course, stons

For many years Tasmania has been
knowu as the "Circassla of the colo

Melbourne. Some years ago It was
elicited In evidence at an official In

barmaids command double the ordi

Coffee-tea is the common beverage
of the natives of Java and Sumatra.
When required l'or infusion the coffee
leaves are gathered fresh from the
trees and are dried in a pan over a
slow tire until they are light brown.
They are then put into a teapot, boiling
water is poured over them, and the In
fusion is drunk with mill; and sugar.
It seeins the general opinion that cof
fee should come in contact with metal
as little as possible. The Viennese peo
ple prefer a glass bottle to a canister
for storing, and Brazilians use earth
euware in preference to a metal pot
for making.
