The Tiqyinsan is printed this week, and will
,r several weeks to come, on paper of little les
re than we have heretofore used The dimen-
ons of our paper are rather unusual, and to get

le burning Of the Messy Greek Mills we have
OF been able to make arrangements for our or
mary size, but hope to do so shortly. Until
len, our readers will have to tolerate the rather
ferior quality of the paper and the curtailment
the Sheets although this latter defect does not

is five minutes at time, brushing and rubbing |
EN- i'll the sand. Rinse in warm lather Of fine
APP, and after drying, rub the hands in dry bran
corn meal Dust them, and finish with rub
