we have the solution of the so-called mys-

Possibly he may have pecuniary interest

RESPECTFUL SUGGESTIONS TO THE
CONVENTION.
Thc Commonwealth Rules, Not the MRjOr
fty-The Minority should be
Reureseuted.

Should we not provide for a representation
of the whole people of the Commonwealth, or
OF any given community, In the great matter
of self-governme now before us .@=
we talk about being governed by the will
Of the majority" when there is no such or
,ganization, and no such will, and no mind of
which to predicate such will.
But there is such an organization or society
as the Commonwealth. Its will governs US,
and votes are It's mere instruments or count
ers, created and used by 1t to ascertain Its
will. 1t might ordain that q, g, Is, or any
other fraction should, instead OF q mere ma
jority of votes, carry questions or elect agents
Now tho great principle to be established Is
self government. e., the ruling OF the people
by themselves. The 1890 minority are as
needful of and Is as much entitled to self
government az the &c. .001, but at present the
so-caled "will Of the majority enslaves
them and deprives them of all representation
all according to the constitution Inc
and constitute the most OF the moral force
and public opinion of the State, and be merely
outnumbered. =,
The "ins' have vastly the advantage In all
subsequent so-called elections, ana ohly very very
bad conduct, conspicuous crime, and failure
to keep the people deceived will cause them
to be suppanted "The will of the majority
Is often q curse to be removed!

Banged Hair ana other DefOrmities.
tZIOD's Herald

The present excellent English Queen Is
eminently sensible In her domestic notions.
She cannot endure the modern idiotic habit
of women wearing low fringe of hair across
their foreheads. An English exchange says
that Her Majesty sent special instructions to
the bridesmaids at the late wedding Of her
son, the Duke of Connaught, that they would
not be permitted to wear these hair fringes or
high heels to their boots, nor to tie their
dresses back In the present most uncomfort-
able and indelicate fashion. Victoria deserves
the thanks Of every intelligent mother in the
land. The same paper says: Last year one
lady appeared at drawing room with her
hair over her eyes. The next day she re-
cpived message from the Lord Chamber
lain informing her that until her hair had
grown she would not be required to attend
any more drawing rooms"

New Cure For Rheuma-
tfSm.

We supposed that every possi-
BILE "cqre" for rheumatism had
been suggested ere this, but a
German paper announces the
discoveryof a new one.> A wo-
man nearPrague suffered so Sc
yereIy from govt in the arm that
she could not obtaiDrest or sleep,
and the limb IN which the disease
had settled was rendered entire
ly useless. Her husband, hay-
ing heard of "a countryman who
had been completely cured Of
rheumatism after being acci-
dentally stung by a bee, pcrsua-
ded her TO try this disagreeable
remedy, which, as he pointed
out, could hardly prove SO pain
ful as the disease. She consen-
ted, and allowed three bees to
be placed on her arm, and to
sting her in several places.
Surprising results ensued: the
patient soon afterward fell into
a long and deep sleep, the first
real sleep she had enjoyed fol
six mopths,a which the acute
pain disappeared; and when the
swelling produced by the stings
subsidized, the arm recovered thG
power of motion, and the gour
has not since reappcared.

Oaiogne Water Made at
Home.

The only perfume which new
or seems to offend any, and
which leaves no unpleasant
twang behind it is that Of Co
logne water, which stimulates
while it soothes the sense, and
suggests a pleasant. wholesome
ness, instead of any sickish
sweetness, as the best of the ex-
tracts and essences and bou-
quets are apt TODD. Wedo not
mean, of course, the cheap and
common Cologne water Of the
druggists, which is usually very
much worse than none at all,
and wont to leave, after drying,
the smell of burnt sugar where
it has been used often, as it is
made of the POOREST spirit and
necessarily without subsequent
.distillation, without regard TO
the fact thatitrequires the stron-
gcst proof or rcctified spirit to
dissolve the combined oils prop
erly where the process of distil-
lation is not used. Indeed, with
no trouble at all, any one can
make in her own storeroom a
b1tter article of Cologne than
that which is usually bought, by
thoroughly dissolving a fluid
dram of the oil of bergamot, Or
ange and rosemary each with
half a dram Of nereli and a pint
of rectified spirit. As good as
can be made out of Cologne it
self, however, is also quite as
comfortably prepared at home
as at the chemists at SO much
Hess than the chemists prices
that one feels warranted in us
ing it freely, simply by mixing
with one piht Of rectified spirit
two fluid drains each of the oils
of bergamot and lemon, one Of
the oil Of orange, and half as
much of that of rosemary, to-
gcther with three-quarters Of u
dram Of nercli and four drops
each Of the essences of amber
gis and musk. If this is subse-
quently distilled, il makes what
may be called a perfect Cologne,
but it becomes exceedingly fine
by being kept tightly stopped
for two or three months, to ripep
and mellow before use.

How to Cure Snoring.

One of the simplest and at
the same time most effectral
remedies against snoring is to
place thin, oyal-shaped piece
of silver or hard rubber, between
three and four inches in length
and one and a half inches in
width, formed SO as to fit the
laws comfortably, between the
lips and the gums. BY this
simple appliance the breath is
forced through the nostrils, and,
aside from being preventive
against snoring, it keeps the
throat and tongue moist instead
of being dry aud parched as
when air is inhaled into the
mouth and throat. 1.-THE mouth
IS kept shat all trouble about
snoring will be removed.

mel or wooden cloth is bad. a
hard finished, smooth rawhide
lining, similar to those of the
