The Terrorism Of TrampS.

The dreadful stories Of tramps which
are SO frequent this summer, are caus-
ing much uneasiness. A New York
lawyer writes to the Springfield Repub-
ican as follows: Il see by the paper
that a shocking outrage has been COM
mitted near Brattleboro, VT, by a
tramp, and a letter from that place
confirms the statement. When | was
there a few weeks ago found that it
was thought necessary that young la

LadV-like Hands.

The care Of your hands is a subject
well worthy of thought, but there are
several ways of thinking on it. You
like to see pretty hands, but do you
make any distinction between idle and
useful hands? If a young girl or a
lady shuns work in order to keep her
hands looking pretty, what is she bet
ter than Pets big wax doll, whose
hands are never sOiled with work? So
the first requirements about hands is
that they must be useful. the next.
that they be skillful, then gentle, full
of tact and kindly deeds. And so,
have set them briefly at all of
good works, we will learn how to care
for them. The first point is, they must
be clean. Wash them in soft, warm
water, as often as they need it, and
with such soap as you may find best to
keep them smooth. Some prefer glyc-
crime soap, others CASTLE, an still 9TH
ers, Brown Windsor. When washed,
rinse them in soft water and wipe
them dry.
Then attend to the nails. Never
suffer your nails TOGO in mourning.
1t is a sure sign of unladylike habits.
Keep a knife, pair of scissors or nail
cleaners within reach, have a place fol
it and use it as often as neces-
sary, by yourself-never before others
unless it be your roommate, OF while
making your toilet. Trim the nails as
often as necessary to keep them OF
moderate length. Never bite them.
Before the hands are dry, push down
the skin around the nails, and then
rub the nails vigorously.
