A fine comb is never advised. The brush should have long, soft bristles that go through the hair, taking with them every particle of dust and leaving behind them a glow that is beautiful. Many women consider the attainment of some special arrangement of the hair a desirable something that they will retaift all their lives. And after all I do not know*- but they are right. We think of somebody we love; think of lier with soft sweet curls framing her forehead; think of her with beautiful hair drawn back smoothly; think of her with hair parted “Madonna-wise on either side her head,” and it is a bit of a shock when one sees her after an absence to discover that she does not look quite the same and that somehow she seems a little older. My friends, it was a wise woman who said: “I began to arrange my hair in a certain fashion that was becoming to me w’hen I was thirty-flve years old, then it made me look forty-five; but as the j*ears have gone on I have never changed it; now at fifty-five I look ten years j’ounger and at sl.xtj'-five 1 am expecting to look twenty.” You know the secret? It was that she never changed in appearance.—Ladies’ Home JournaLPOISOXKI) MIIk. Large Number of Cincinnati People Sick From It.

For this purpose they are boiled and then pouudeil in a mortar, when they form a homogeneous mass like dough, which is put into .soup and eaten with it. In the mature but still green stage, plantain.s are roasted and eaten with butter, pepper and salt an«l in some cases cheese. In this state they are delicious. The plantain part.s with its heat very rapidly, and in cooling it loses, to the palate, ranch of its best taste. It is spoiled by rewarining. For this reason roast plantains are usually served wraj>-l>ed in a table-napkin for, to be enj.oyed at all, they must be eaten before they cool. When ripe, that is when the skin has turned yellow, a fruity character is assumed and then they are used either baked whole in an oven or cut in slices and fried. Baked rip* plantain has much the taste of baked apple but with a distinctive flavor airá a much more tenacious nature. Lastly, gathered green, dried and ground or pounded an e.xcellent meal or flour is produced, w’hich makes delicious custards, puddings, gruel, etc., and is highly palatable and nutritious.—Garden and Forest.

Mrs. Ilealy and the daughter, Ro.sc, were also better. Emily is still very ill. The^ grandchild did not drinlc much of the miik. and tlid not suffer as tlid the other. Mrs. Geo. Wilhelm, who lives at 376 Court, was alson poisoned by drinking milk that she bought at Niehaus’. The s3'mptoms were the same as those of the Heal}' family, but not so severe, and she soon recovered. Her niece drank sparingly of the milk, ai*d ws^» not at all affected. Lieut. Winters and a number of kta men were bu.sy from early Friday afternoon until late at night invc.stigating the different cases. One officer was detailed to find out about the Lungworth street cases and get a sample the milk. He was also instructed to find, out the dairyman’s name, that arrests may be made. Two officers visited Mrs. Neidhaus, on Court street and got the names of Theilmeyer and Rusher. The two last named persons will probably be arrested Saturday. FOREIGN GOSSIP. —Knotted strings were employed by the ancient people of Peru for messages. They had no written characters to express single sounds, and so they put words together for purposes of communication and also for records by the dexterous tying of knots on cords. The nev; style of ornamentation for handles of all sorts are the plain and grooved twist. These are particularly handsome when alternating. They are found in such articles as button hooks, knives of all sorts, and hand mirrors. They can be especially commended for their easy handling. l*retty cottage clocks are made of the monochrome tiles known as Low tiles with the figures modeled in relief. These are In different tints, browns and blues prevailing, and may be chosen with a view to the decoration of tl.e room. Round-bodied vases and jars with handles have clock faces and works set in them. The vagaries of clock-making are entertain ing. One is white, shaped like a mausoleum, on the top of which a skeleton performs on a trapeze. Another clock IS a wotxicn spire with doors hung on brass hinges. These open and reveal a se.xton pulling the bell. Another has a toboggan slide, the upper end resting on the top of the clock face. Still another has the face mounted like the time clock of a race course with a group of horses beneath. —Jewelers’ Circular. ___ —The ancient tower of the church of St. Sepulchre, opposite the end of Newgate street, has been restored. In old days when criminals were carried to execution at Newgate it was the custom for the clergy of the church to W’atch for their arrival and present them with flowers. —At Hamburg the following live stock was marketed in 1801: Homed cattle, 88,.581 head, calves, 00,686; pigs. 420,407; sheep, 148,90.5. Of the cattle 41,065 head were from Denmark, and 4,125 from America. Their total money value was $17,500,000, the cattle being worth $70 per liead, calves $30, pigs $30, sheep $7.50. The Prhiiatial See. The Archbishop oí’ Baitiraore is sometimes styled even by Catholic papers “ Primate of the United Slates,” and ihat city often called •‘the primalial see.” The true status of both is given in the Baltimore Mirror, The Archhishop of Baltimore presides at meetings of the hierarchy of the United States, not precisely because of bis being at the head of the oldest diocese in the country, as is often alleged, but by authority of a special indult from Rome issued in 1868 by Pope Pius IX. The text of the indult is as follows: “Since the Fathers of the P.euary Council of Baltim :re, held in the year 1852, asked the Holy Father to graet some privilege to the See of Baitiraore; and since the bishop? of the province of Baltimore assembled in provincial synod in May, 1858, again petitioned His Holiness U» annex to the aforesaid Metropolitan See, a special pre-emineiiee of honor that it might be distinguished from others and l)e ever remembered as the mottier of most all the other churches spread tlirouglioiit the United States ot the most eminent and reverend fathers of the llol\’ Council for the Propagation of the Christian Name, in a general s ssion of the IDth of July just elapsed, deemed it expedient that the prerogative of ‘ |>lace be granted to the See of Baltim ,re, so in ail councils, meetings and assemblies whatsoever the precedency and first seat and jilace be yiven ti the existing Archbishop of Baltimore over all other archbishops of those provinces, ii any are present, without taking into consideration promotion or ordination.” \'ery Rev. JLeo da Saraceua, O. S. F., j»astor of St. Joseph’s Church, Winstead, Ct., has just returned from a year’s trip through Europe and the East. He has been a member of the Franciscan order for 42 years, a priest of the order for oH years and pastor at Winsted for 27 years. This fall is to witness the celebra* tion of the first mass in Montreal’s new cathedral, though that edifice will not be fully completed for three years yet. This church is modeled after St, Peter’s in Rome, the dimensions, of course, being smaller, and the estimated cost runs¡up to $1,000,* 000. The Holy f’ather has issued a decree by which it is laid down that when the feast of St. Joseph, patron of the universal church, happens to fall upon a Passion Sunday, it is to be celebrated on the following day. When the feast occurs during Holy Week it will be kept on the Wednesday after Low Sunday.

The first number is made up of the graduation éssays, etc., by the class of “92 with severnj puges of interesting miscellany. It IS a handsome 14-page paper, and well worthy of perusal and study.IGNORED BECAUSE SHE WAS A CATHOLIC. A letter iu the Chicago Citizen says: At the sessions of the Board of Education on Wednesday night at the proper t me. Miss Kate Ryan, of South Omaha, a former teacher in the Boown Park school, who was ignored by the Board on account of being a Catholic, when the list of teachers for 1893 was made up, stepped forward aud asked permission to say a few words. President Cheek gave hsr permission, and she said:“I came here personally tonight, gentlemen of the Board of Educa, tion, to ask you a plain question, to which I trust you will give me a plain answer. A few days ago this body met and elected the teachers for the ensuing year. When I read in the paper the proceedings and saw that my name had been omitted I was nonplused at first; then I thought perhaps a mistake had been made. Later one of ine teachers came and told me that I had been ignored on purpose. Now, gentle* man, I am here face to face with you, and I ask you wl^ you ignored me? You tremble. Truth makes a man a coward when he has to face it, does it not? I am an old citizen —still you have ignored me. Why? I have taught in your public schools and given satisfaction. My education is a finished one as Prof. Mun* roe sitting there will tell. (Professor Munroe said such was the fact) My scholars, every one of them, loved me and I loved tdem. Professor Munroe will tell you, gentlemen, that I advanced my classes more than any other teacher of South Omaha; then why should I not be retained? 1 am told that if I had gone to the members of the board and electioneered with each for an hour I might have been retained. “Gentlemen, this I could not do; I presumed you were an honorable body of men, and would not thus insult you. I hear other teachers did this; I could not. You know of my work and I was proud of my record as a teacher. No teacher in your schools is my peer, and few are my equals. The professor will tell you this is the truth. Still you vote against me. Is there one in this honorable body of men who is man enough to say he voted against me?’’ Then she waited in a graceful po’se. Finally Secretary Punston said: “I voted against you. Miss Ryan, but the reason is known only to myself” “Thank }*ou, Mr. Tunston,” said the speaker, “I am glad to find oae man among you who is not afraid to tell the truth. Is there another man among you who will speak! Are you cowards? Why <:o you tremble when face to face with the woman you have ignored?” At this point James Jones and W. P. Cheek could stand tiie scathing fire no longer, and acknowledged that they, too, had voted against her; I he rest were silent as the grave. While she waited the 'clock could have been heard ticking its sombre sound—still no answer. Continuing Miss Ryan said: “So there are three of you who will acknowledge the truth; au honest confession is always good for the soul. Now, gentlemen, will you tell me why v’ou voted again-t me? No, I see you will not; but I wid tell you why. I am a Catholic—that explains it all; yes, I am an Irish Catholic, and am proud of it Bjt, gentlemen, I never attempted to bring ray religion into my school work, and never did; I have always.tried to inculcate into the minds of my scholars the things that were ri^ht. 1 have corrected my pupils when they did wrong. Woilld you have me do otherwise? No fault has ever been found with my work; but I am guilty of being a Catholic girl, and that was enough to condemn me with you. Above your heads on the wall hangs the dear old stars and stripes that I love better than my life. They give forth the glad news of freedom for all mankind; yot, sitting in its shadN ow, you condemn me because my faith is different from yours. How proud I VIas the ds^’ you came to my ilphool at South Omaha aud raised t^e dear old flag over the place of labors. Well I remember that nfgbt when retiring I knelt by my bedside and prayed God to bless you f6r your wisdom and forethought in thus helping to edacate the young mind and fire it with a patriotic zeal that will live till death. The next time I 'meet you it is beneath the same old flag. I meet you to demand justice. Yes, while breezes from without lift the folds that wave over your heads, you cast me aside and say in your cowardly and nn-Americaii heart, ‘She is not fit to teach in our schools. She is a Catholic girl.’ Shame on you!”
