cHAPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion. which answers
the same purpose as Cling leather Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, in CON-
mon with all the other secretions of the
skin, is more abundant than in cold. When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and on those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is 50 much reduced 10 cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily, and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash
ed of. The alkali in soap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and so deprives the skin of its nat
urai lubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice; but, if
not, 1T will be necessary to make good the

Views of the New Mayor of Chicago

A Reporter of the Times called upon
Mr. Colyin, after election, and gives an ac-
count Of his interview, from which we clip
the following

preston Of opinion from you on the sever
al questions which will Immediately come
up for your decision as Mayor of Chicago
MIR. COlvin-l shall be glad 10 tell the
Times how i feel upon these matters
What do you wish to know?
R--There was an election understand
in this city on yesterday?
Mr.C.--I find this belief TO be very gen.
eral Indeed it may be safely asserted that
there was an election.
R.-And you were elected Mayor?
Mr.. C.-Yes sir.
R.-What Is your opinion with respect
% the Sunday liquor ordinance?
MIR. C.--l have stated my position on
this matter candidly IN everyone. ! am
not believer IN extreme measures |
think they generally lead u mistakes, per
secutiun aud mistortuues. Consequently.
! am certainly opposed o. the idea that a
man shall MT be allowed to purchase his
beer OF whisky at bar in regularly L.
censed saloon ON Sunday as on any other
day, provided Of course it is done under
certain restrictions neccssitated by a due
regard Of the best interests of society.
Rare you in favor Of open saloons on
Sundays?
Mr. CT am 10 favor Of compromise
on this matter ! don't believe in drum
kenness or general license any more than
any member of the committee Of seventy
but at the same time, am not puritanica
in my ideas, and ] certainly think that a
man living ut the Grand Pacific hotel
should not be accorded privileges which
are denied 10 the more humble individual
who does not live in similar style, / think
that q duo regard should be shown for the
religious sentiments of the mass Of the PEG
Pile aud that the saloons should, in conse
qucuce, be closed during service. Farther
than this do not go.
R--YSu are in favor Of an ordinance.
such as proposed by Aid. Gullerton, closing
saloons on the Sabbath day until o'clock
In the afternoon
Mr. C.-Yes, / think that would meet
the necessities Of the case il woald satisfy
the reasonable demands of our German
population, and would give that considera-
ton to the feelings of the American inhab-
itants 10 which they are entitled
R,-1he repeal Of the city ordinance
does not in any way affect the state law on
this matter. Will you attempt 10 carry
out the provisions of that law?
