To Remove Molss from the Face.


Our correspondents frequently inquire
how to do this. We find the following in an
exchange, and give it for their benefit and
what it is worth: Ladies have horror
of those black eminences on the face called
moles. Even homely men dislike thom,
but there they ordinarily remain as
guides in giving a description of an ap-
plicant for passport. A mole is thick
ening Of the epidermis, or outer skin,
probably induced by an obstruction in the
outward ends of cluster Of sudoric ducts
or sweet tubes. To be clear of them
readily, run a fine needle through one side
to the other. Let an assistant take hold
of both ends of the needle and pull, SO as
to make neck of clear skin at its base.
1t is neither painful, difficult, nor attended
with hardly tinge of blood. Next ligate
that neck behind the out-dragged mole
with delicate, strong, waxed silk thread
that cuts off the circulation; clip away the
unused thread and wait the result. A
slight local Inflammation ensues, which is
the gluing together the new surface of the
stretched skin. In few days the old
ofense drops Of, deprived of nutrition,
leaving no scar. If a little reddish by the
remains Of a subsiding Inflammation, wet
the spot occasionally with cold water.
Proceed to the next, and the next sersatip..
Before aware Of it any mole disfgured face
may become as good as new

Salary of Congress.

The compensation Of members of Con-
gress was frst fixed by the act of September
22d, 1883, which directed that until Mar.
4, 1895, each Senator and member should
receive Sc for every day of attendance,
and s6 for every twenty miles Of the es-
timated distance BY the most usual road
from his residence to the seat of Congress.
In case Of detention from Congress by ILL.,
ness, the allowance was to be continued.
This act also provided that after March 4,
1895, each Senator should receive 81 a
day and 81 for every twenty miles travelled.
A new act, dated March 10, 1896, Fixed
the pay of members of both houses at Sc a
day and s6 for every twenty miles travelled.
On July 6th, 1897, a law was passed CIV
ing the above pay and mileage TO the
members Of the extra session Of that year.
The next Legislation on the subject was
contained in an act making the pay Of
members Of Congress $500 per annum,
but this law was repealed February 9th,
1917. The law Of january I'D, 1918,
gave So a day pay, and ss mileage for
every twenty miles travelled. The next
change was made by the act of August
18th, 1856, which fixed the pay at $4,000
for two years, and sS mileage for two ses-
sions only. A few years ago the compen-
sation of members Of Congress was raised
to $4,000 per annum, with mileage as be-
fore. The last Congress placed the pay
at $500 per annum, without mileage, but
actual travelling expenses are allowed and
this by a sort of ''double back-action'
movement, was carried back over both
sessions of the last Congress, giving the
liberal Congressman about $4,000 extra

The Criminal Lawyer.

Last week, at the commencement Of the
University of Michigan, one Of the law
professors, Charles A. Kent, Esq, deliver
ed to a graduating class some observations
upon the practice Of the law, which have
general importance and application They
relate to the license taken by some un-
worthy members of the bar, in the defense
of criminals This license has been pushed
so far that the public begins to understand
the title Criminal Lawyer" as meaning
lawyer who is the accomplce or abetter of
criminals in their depredations on the
public. Professor Kent says:
Some theories Of the duties of an adyo-
cate, which, If not openly defended, are
yet sometimes followed in practice BY law.
yers of eminence, are doing much to bring
the whole profession under just public con-
demnation. The true theory of the duty
of an advocate, viz That he is bound, as
are the judge and jury, to give client,
however unworthy may be his case, the
benefit Of every legal right, is one hard
for the general public to appreciate. But
when this theory is construed to mean
that lawyer may do everything for his
client that can be done without involving
himself in legal penalties; when he is ex-
cused for availing himself Of the services
Of those whom he knows to be violating
the law in the aid they afford, when he is
allowed to use every ingenuity to shut out
from the jury every man fit to be jury
man, and to obtain a jury capable Of being
influenced by the lowest motives; when he
is thought excusable for winking at, if not
encouraging perjury in his own witnesses;
when he is allowed to seek to break down
the testimony Of the most truthful witness
es on the other side by brow-beating, by
cunning tricks, or by unfounded insinua-
tions; when all these things are done in
defense Of the worst causes and the most
notorious criminals, then indeed the indig-
nation and contempt Of all honest men
ought to be excited, Men who do such
things, under whatever name Of duty to
clients, are the enemies Of society. How.
ever able and brilliant they may be, they
ought to receive public reprobation. Es.
pecially they ought to be openly condemn
ed by all honest lawyers. Otherwise the
whole bar is judged by their standards nd
condemned by the moral sense of the com.
munity. The causes which lead lawyers
to extrayagant theories Of duties to clients
in conflict with the public interest and
with justice, are very strong. The repu-
tation Of an advocate is made by his sue
cess. The means Of success are scrutiniz-
ed by tut few. Clients who have cases
which can be carried only by unworthy
acts are willing to pay for success literally.
Murderers viii not higgle about the fees Of
lawyer whose skill enables them to defy
justice. These influences can be success.
fully resisted only by the development and
maintenance of healthy moral sentiment
in the profession, which shall bring dis
grace upon every one who defiles himself
with practices unworthy Of it.
