Social Changes in Japan.

ordinary interest. The Chronology of the

Idleness is to be discouraged, the national

which they slide into American clothes

GreenbackS Against Gold.

Mr. Sherman's specie resumption and
free banking bill unexpectedly came to
grief in the Senate this afternoon, after
three days have been wasted Oh it. 1t had
been supposed that Mr.. Sherman's influ-
ence would secure the favorable action of
the Senate on his BILL although no one had
any idea that it would go through the
House. When the motion was made this
afternoon to lay the bill on the table, Mr..
Sherman made a desperate attempt to save
it, asserting that he would stake his whole
financial reputation on its merits. The
bill, however, seemed to be looked at al
most altogether from sectional point of
view.
The opinions which appear to be gener-
ally entertained by the. Western and
Southern representatives is that the meas
ure would have principally Injured to the
creditor class, i. e., the East, while it
would have been a corresponding disad-
vantage to the West and South, which re
gard themselves as the debtor class. As a
consequence of this feeling the votes which
killed the bill were, with only three excer-
tiohs, cast by Southern and Western Sen
ators. - Wash. Car. Baltimore SttR.

CHAPPED HANDs.-In healthy condi-
ton the skin is kept supple by an oily Sc
cretion, which answers the same purposes
as oiling leather. During warm weather
this secretion, in common with all the 9TH
er 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 motion, as on the
hands, it readily cracks or assures. The
amount Of this secretion is so much reduc-
ed in cold weather that the frequent wash
ing 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 ehapging,
then, be careful to wash all soap from them
thoroughly in clean water. This will or
dinarily suffice; but if not, twill be neces-
sary to make good the removed oil by the
use of glycerine, honey, mutton tallow,

SENATE.
A bill for the distribution of the Geneva
award occupied the day.
Mr.. Howe, from the Senate Committee
on Claims, made an elaborate report upon
the Presidents veto message in the case o
the bill relieving j. Milton Best, whose
property at Paducah was destroyed for wal
purposes.
The Committee recommend the passage
of the bill notwithstanding the veto.
In reviewing the reasons of the Presi-
dent for the vetoe, the Committee admit
that i'm some sense the destruction was the
ravages of war, but in their opinion the
house taken from the claimant was for the
use of the Government.
The message asserts, as a general principle
of both International and municipal law,
that all property is held subject not only
TO be taken by the Government for public
uses (in which case, under the COnstitu-
ton of the United States, the owner is ell.
titled to just compensatory but also to be
temporarily or even actually destroyed in
times of great personal danger and when
the public safety demands it, and in this
latter case governments do not admit a le-
gal obligation on their part to compensate
the owner.
The Committee taking issue with the
President say they have not found any
such general principle affirmed, either in
international or municipal law, but have
found the very reverse to be affirmed by
all law, both international and municipal.
They quote numerous legal authorities and
several Congressional precedents in sup
port of this view, and in reply to the Presi-
dents caution that the payment of this
claim would invite the presentation of
demands for very large sums of money for
necessary and unavoidable destruction of
property by the army, they say the act for
the relief Of DR.. Best does not provide for
the payment of property unavoidably de-
stroyed. On the contrary, it clearly dis
eliminates against and disclaims. liability
for such payment.
Morrill,, of Maine, reported adversely on
the bill for the international copy right.
On motion of Norwood, of Georgia, the
bill relieving certain persons in Georgia
and other Southern States, of polical disa-
bilities, was taken up. The bill was

HOUSE.
Private bills were discussed. During
the discussion of Professor of the Spanish
language at West Point, Butler spoke of
the acquisition of Mexico as a thing that
would take place in this generation, and
Coburn predicted that the American boy
was born that would issue proclamations
from the Moor Castle in Havana.
