Chapped Hands.

In a healthy condition the skin is
kept supple by an oily secretion, which
answers the same purpose as oiling
leather. During warm weather this
secretion, in com 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
in;those parts of the body where the
skin is thick and subject to much mo-
ton, as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secre-
ton is so much reduced in 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 thoroughly washed off. The alkali
in soap is usually in excess, and this
combines with the oily secretion, and SO
deprives the skin of its natural lubrica-
tor. To prevent the hands from chap
ping, then, be careful to wash all soap
from them thoroughly in clean water.
This will ordinarily suffice; but if not,
it will be necessary to make good the
removed oil by the use of glycerine,
honey, mutton tallow, &c.

An Indignant Chief.

A chief of the tribe of Haracta, be-
tween Ain-Beida and Tebessa, went on
some business to Constantine. A few
days later he returned to his tribe, and,
calling his wife, desired her to fetch
four posts and some cord. She obeyed
when, to her horror, the chief threw
her down on the ground, lashed her to
the four stakes, and, taking a stick,
commenced beating her with all his
might.
Her cries brought all thelinhabitants
of the tents to their doors, and endeav-
ored, though in vain, to stop her hus-
bands arm. "Butwhat has she done?'
they exclaimed. "She is the pearl of
the tribe, the best of mothers, the
model of wives!" "What has she
done?" retorted the monster. "Noth.
ing. am only relieving my mind. "
At last, being exhausted by his. ..own
fury, he condescended to stop, and eX-
plain that, at Constantine, he had seen
an Arab woman, backed up by the
French authorities, drag her husband
before the court to complain of his i'll
usage, and the kadi had actually given
judgment in her favor So monstrous
an infraction of Arab usages had infuri-
ated the chief to such a a.degree that he
had forgotten the object of his journey,
and only hurried home to wreak his
vengeance, for the insult offered to the
male sex, on the body of his unhappy
u;fa

during the Thirty-ninth session, when
his seat was successfully contested by
Mr.. Dodge. He was delegate to the
Philadelphia National Union Conven-
ton in 1866, and in the succeeding year
delegate to the State Constitutional
Convention. The political career OF MIR.
Brooks was chameleon-like in its changes
until he gave his answering allegiance
to the Democratic party. An old line
Whig in past days, he became in later
years an unqualified revenue reformer.
His speeches on the tariff question and
on the question of American commerce
were remarkable for their vigor and
power. The position occupied by MIN
in the last days of the last session OF
Congress in connection with the Credit
Mobilier investigation is still fresh in
the recollections of our readers. In
person, Mr.. Brooks was tall, graceful
and good looking, and one of the lions
of Washington society. His loss will
be severely felt on the Democratic side
of the House, where his long experience
and keen Judgment made him a prom.
inent leader. He wrote an account OF
his travels around the world, which was
published in book form and attracted
great deal of interest.

Lady Davies, in her "recollections >
tells the following amusing story: While
we were both standing opposite MIR.
VS. dressing-room, the door OF
which in the haste of his departure had
been left open, perceived gentle
mans wig hanging there, and inquired
of Mrs. W to whom it could belong,
for Mr.. W was the last man sus-
pected of wearing one. She burst out
laughing at my question, and in reply
to it exclaimed, "for goodness sake,
don't let him know-pray never say
that told you but that wing belongs
to my husband. Nor that alone, for he
had four in alone with very short
hair, as if it had just been cut; another
with very long hair, as if it wanted cut
ting another with the hair moderately
long; and one elaborately dressed for
parties. Sometimes" she added, II
can scarcely prevent myself from laugh
inc when I hear an intimate friend adj
wise him to 90 and get his hair cut, and
perceive how, by change OF wig, it is
supposed that such advice has been
promptly TAKEN"
