Not long ago attempts were made to form wigs from certain fibrous plants, the same kind that have served to furnish material for rugs and blankets. By splitting fibers extremely fine and then treating them chemically it was possible to make an artificial hair. But the price was high and the re sults not satisfactory. Now successful experiments have proven that it is possible to use spun crystal and reduce it to any shade and degree of fineness. And the resemblance to the human hair is almost perfect: It is light, also, lustrous, and absolutely hy. gienic. .

But he absolutely refuses to reveal his secret, although several owners of large quarries have made him splendid offers for his se- cret. His method seems simple as far as his apparatus is concerned. He has a small gas stove and a kettle. It is known, of course, that his process s a matter of chemical synthesis, and with these few implements and his secret he has been known to manu. ble in half an hour.

Simply bathe the face and temples, the wrists and behind the ears with water as hot as can be borne. This will often in- duce sleep. A glassful of hot water with a lump of sugar and a few drops of lemon Juice added 1s a favorite “soothing” drink of Frenchwomen, and helps to woo sleep.
