So far as the acts of Hayes COM
mend themselves to our Judgment
they shall have our approval, not
withstanding the fact that he has
none but a fraudulent title to the po-
sition which he holds, but so far as
promises of good deeds are concerned
we shall take no stock in them in
advance of fulfilment. We have
learned the worthlcssness of promis-
es from republican politicians to well
to have any faith in them. They
promised honest action and just de-
cisions to the fullest extent when
the electoral Commission was formed
but falsiicd their promises and oaths
and cheated like the ID as soon

The Administration is sorely trou.

eion Of Congress to provide for the

want of an army? Stanley Mathews
wrote letter to Chamberlain, Of
South Carolina, urging him to so ar,
range matters that the Government
in that State should be permitted t.
stand which could stand without the
aid ofan army. Weunderstand that
Mr. Mathews is preparing a letter to
his friend Mr. Hayes, counseling him
not to borrow money on his own re-
sponsibility to maintain the army,
but to let the army be disbaudod and
allow that Federal Government to
stand. which can do so without the
aid of Federal bayonets. This idea
occurred to Mathews and Mr.. Schurz
four years ago, but other things have

Gigantic Nettle.Tree.

The following account of gigantic
nettle-tree belonging to the flora of
Australia-which, by the way, is full of
strange forms of vegetation-is credited
in Hardwicke's Science Gossip to Bris-
bane: ''There grows in the Australia
sian bush a nettle-tree which attains the
size of the largest trees seen in Eng
land. 1t has large, round, furry leaf
is, as all other Australian trees are,
evergreen; but it makes no timber, the
trunk being simply tube filed with
pith, and one stroke of the AK will fell a
young tree about a foot through. The
tree is well known, very common, and
carefully guarded against; but, if by
accident one does happen to touch a
leaf, it is an occurrence one does not
easily forget. Surveying a line one day
through the dense scrub, l happened
inadvertently to brush against young
tree, and the leaves just touched the
back of my hand. The pain caused
was extreme, and extended Immediately
right up the arm, with sensation as If
the arm were paralyzed, and it was
quite useless; and a swelling, the size
of an egg, appeared within five minutes
exactly under my arm. These symp-
toms lasted some hours; then a smart
tingling was left; but this remained for
six weeks, and it was considerably in

Speak Gently to the Poet.

Encourage the young poet"-Er.
Yes, encourage him. We wrote poetry
once ourselves, but we were not encour-
aged. When we submitted 14-page
poem to publisher, he said the meas
ure was defective. We offered to write
10 more pages and give him full meas
ure without extra charge, but he didn't
encourage us. He said many of the
lines lacked the requisite number of feet.
and We proposed to scratch off II more
feet of the stuff on the spot, so that he
might add . foot here and there, where
it would do the most good, but he didn't
encourage US. He made q motion to
put foot where it wouldn't do us any
good, and we went away from there
without making any further PROPOSE
tons. Something told US that It would
be unhealthy to linger around there any
longer. But we subsequently sold our
poem. We got two cents q pound for
it, and the purchaser didn't grumble
about lack Of measure" or "a feet"
either. He seemed to appreciate the
production; but the careless manner in
which he jammed it into an old bag was
not calculated to encourage young po-

Curious Case Of Heredity.

DIR. Dupuy stated that he owed to his
friend, DIR. Gibney, the opportunity Of
observing family consisting of father
and mother, five children and one grand
child. The father and mother are semi
ambidextrous. All of the children and
the grandchild are ambidextrous to an
annoying degree; all Of. the movements
which they perform with one hand are
simultaneously performed with the 9th
er hand. The girls are obliged to use
only one hand when dressing them
selves or when cutting patterns, and
hold the other hand down by their side,
because the two hands perform the same
movementsnt the same time and would
interfere with each other. Attention
was called to the fact that the father Of
the grandchild is not semi-ambidex-
trous. DIR. Dupuy has made expert
ments upon these persons, and has
found that if the skin on the forearm
ON one side be kept dry, and rapidly
interrupted electrical current be used,
so as to only call forth reflex actions, it
is possible to induce synchronous move
ments in the fingers of both hands, and
also muscular contraction in the lum-
bricales muscles of the fingers, which
are too rapid to be carried on by the
will.-Medical Record.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

One of the most refreshing drinks
in warm weather is lemonade, but the
great secret in making it is to use boil
ing water and let it become cool, when
crushed ice can be added. -.
To remove paint from windows,
take strong bi-carbonate of soda, and
dissolve it in hot water; wash the glass,
and in 20 minutes or half an hour, rub
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
GRAPE OR PLUM JAM.-Stew in a
little water. and press the fruit through
a cOlander or coarse sieve, adding a lit
tie water to plums to get all the pulp
through. Add sugar and finish as cur
rant jam. 80.
To prevent the smoke of a lamp,

it well before using it. twill then burn

For arresting fermentation in milk
or cream, California borax has no equal.
One-hah thimbleful dissolved in hot
water, and put into the milk, will keep
it perfectly sweet. It is also good for
arresting taint in meats; in short, it has
a multitude of beneficial uses in the
household.
"A tablespoonful of black pepper put
in the first water in which gray and bluff
linens are washed will keep them from
spotting. 1t will also generally keep
