THE BARGAIN.

The Express relates the particulars OF the
bargain made by the Bexar county delegates
with the Travis county delegates in the state
democratic convention. BeXar county gave
their assistance to Travis county to nominate
Judge West, Hancock's partner; they also
cast their votes for candidates from BaStrol
and Williamson counties; gave the chairman
ship of the democratic executive committee to
Travis county, and conceded the holding o.
convention at Austin; all under the fond delu,
sion that it was fair equivalent for the priv
Hedge of naming the congressman. But
such bargains are unworthy Of the great
democracy and of the great men who com
pose it, and the Austin section rose abov,
party and kicked from under them the lgnoble
ladder by which they had climbed to power
and nominated Judge Hancock for congress.
That Judge Epson has been most shame
fully trcked out of the nomination, no one can
deny, particularly when the real facts are made
known of the assurances Of Judge Hancock
that he was not candidate, when in fact it
has been known for months that he was
secretly and quietly making Roadway while he
disarmed Judge Epson Of any uneasiness in
regard to his denomination.
The people are very little concerned about
the bargains made at the democratic state con-
vention in fact they are likely to feel a disgust
over such bargaining, but treachery and de-
ceipt when practiced by man aspiring for SO
high an honor as congressman is unpardon-
able

The Force of the Waves

At the mouth of the Thames n great
struggle has been renewed this year with
the waves of the sea. The $500 acres
which make up the whole extent of Kan
yey Island have been wholly reclaimed
from the ocean. 1000 through the ener-
gy of Dutchman about 1923, and 800
mt more recent dates. Without any
warming the combined force of the wind
and waves of the 25th of January last
made huge gaps more than mile In
length in the wall dividing the land from
the waters, and !, 500 acres were flood
ed. When the reclamation from the sea
was effected by the enterprisIng Dutch
man, l 1000 acres We're allotted to him as
his reward, and on them was laid the cost
of repairing the sea wall. Subsequent
legislation has established the principle
that when the owners of the l, 900 acres
are unable TO bear the whole cost of
maintaining the embankment the pro-
prietors of the remaining 1000 acres
should come to the assistance of their
neighbors. What the amount of this
assurance should be has been furiously
debated by the land owners for some
months. If necessary works are not con-
pleted before the return of winter til he la
Dor of two centuries Will be wasted.

Some Hints to Methers.

When your daughter performs a task in
an ill-fashioned manner, always say
''There, might as well haze done it N.Y.
self in the first place, and then take the
work out of her hand and 90 it yourself.
This will encourage the girl not to try to
do the thing next time she is set about
it.
Never permit your son 10 have any
amusement at home. This will induce him
TO seek it in places where you will not be
annoyed by his noise.
There IS no place hke home. Impress
this truth upon your children 10y making
home as disagreeatle and unlike any other
place as possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out first.
class housebreakers, all on account of this
judlcious treatmtnt in early childhood
Be gentle and courteous before company
but If you have temper, let your children
have q taste of it as often as convenient.
A mother should never practice deception
upon her brood.
Talk slightly of your husband 10 your
boys AMI girls. This Will make them re-
S, ect their father.
Tell your child he shall not do thing,
and then let him tease you into giving
your consent. This will teach him what
to do on subsequent occasions,
Make promises TO your children and
then neglect 20 keep them This will lead
yonr children not to place too much reli-
ance upon Jour word, and shield them
from many disappointments.
Tell your children they are the worst
you ever saw, and they will no doubt en-
deavor to merit your appreciation.

Mica Mask for Workmen.

A well known German manufacturer OF
mica wares, Herr Raphael, of Breslea,
now makes mica masks for the face, which
are quite transparent, very light, and af-
fected neither by heat nor by ACIDS. They
afford good protection TO all workmen who
are liable to be injured by heat, dust or
nOxious vapors. all workers with fire,
metal and glass meters, stonemasons, etc.
In all kinds of grinding and polishing
work the flying fragments rebound from
the arched mica plates of the mask with
out injuring them. These pls:es are fixed
in a metallic frame. which is well isolated
by means of asbestos, so as not be attack
si by heat Cr acid. These masks allow the
Iarnlng of the eyes in any direction, and,
as against mica spectaeles, they afford the
advantage of protection to the whole face.
In certain cases the neck and shoulders
may also be guarded by a sheet of cloth
impregnated with fireproof material. or by
IN sbestos sheet a taf hed TO the ms 7 e
interval between the mica and the eyes
allows of workmen who have poor eve
sight wearing spectacles, and of workers
with fire or in melting operations wearing
colored glass speclacles under the mask,
without fear of breakage of the glass, mica
being bad conductor of meat. Where
the mask has to be worn long ii is found
desirable to add an india rubber tube with
mouth piece for admission of fresh air !;
the tube passes out to the shoulders, where
its funnel-shaped end sometimes holding
moIstened sponge) is supported The
mask has sort OF cap attached TO it for
fixture on the head

A Tramp shot by "A Girl.

In one of the Mississippi towns, not very
far from Memphis, on the line of the Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee Railroad, little
lady, aged sixteen years, shot and severely
wounded an impudent white tramp who
attempted to enter the house after being
ordered not To- do SO. The lady. who is
small, but gsme. and a crack shot with a
pistol, was the cnly white person IN the
house when the burly tramp approached.
s.We have nothing for you: you needn't

better not. or you will get what you don't

the door. You 60 back in your room,

claimed the ruffianly tramp, as he walked
inside the door. Bangi went the pistol,
and the tramp staggered back on the porch,
shot through the arm and breast. She
raised the pistol again, but the tramp fled.
4 neIghbOr rushed around the house and
asked the little lady, who was sitting down
and engaged in knitting, with her pistol in
her basket, 'what's the matterl She ex-
claimed. "He's gone, lie then asked,
''Did you shoot him?'' "Yes." she replied
land if he kept on coming, 1 would be
shooting until now. " The tramp was
found 10 be bleeding profusely, and it was
with difficulty that the flow of blood could
be stopped. He left the town a sadder
and wiser man, having been taught lesson
in manners that he will not soon forget

Household Hints.

To determine the quality of s TX, take
ten ibres Of the filing in any silk, and if
on breaking they show feathery, dry and
lack lustre condition, discolonng the fir
gers in handling. you may at once be sure
of the presence of dye and artificial eight
ing. Or take small portion Of the fibres
between the thumb and foretinger, and
very gently roll them over and over, and
you will soon detect the gum, mineral,
soap and other ingredients of the one and
the absence of them IN the other. A SIM
pie but effective test o. the purity is TO
burn a small quantity of the fibres; pure
silk will instantly crisp, leaving only q
pure charcoal; heavily dyed silk will
shoulder, leaving a yellow, greasy ash.
If on the contrary, you cannot break the
ten strands, and they are of natural lus
tire and brillIanoy, and fail TO discolor the
fingers at the point of contact, you may
well be assured that you have pure silk
that is honest in its make and durable IN
its veIr

twenty drops of bromine to the ounce OF

HEALTH hINTs.-Flaxseed tea, which
is good for cough and sore throat, is made
as follows: Put two tablespoonfuls whole
faxseed in a pint Of boiling water, and
boil fifteen minutes. Cut up one lemon
and put in pitcher. with two tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Strain the tea boiling hot
through wire strainer into the pitcher
and STIR together. Medical men claim that
pound and quarter of oatmeal will
supply as much nitrogen and almost as
much fat to the body as one pound OF
uncooked meat of ordinary quality. A
man gets three times as much nourish
ment at the same cost In oatmeal as he
does IN meats. One pound and II half of
Indian meal is equal to one pound of I'M
cooked meat in nitrogen, and surpasses il
in fat. One who has tried it coamuni-
Gates the following about curing sore
throats: Let each one of your readers buy
at any drug store one ounce of camphor-
ated OIL, and five ceLts' worth of chlorate
Of potash. When any soreness appears
in the throat, put the potash in hall
tumblerful of water, and with 1t ga-gle
the throat thoroughly; then rub the neck
thoroughly with the camphorated oil al
night before going to bed, and also pin
around the throat a strip of woclen fan-
mel. This is a simple, cheap and sure
remedy.

Nyearly takes 200. 900 acres of forest to
supply cross ties for the railroads of the
United States. 1t takes Is. 600, 900 ties to
supply the demand, for which on an aver
age the contractor gets thirty five cents
apiece, making in the aggregate u, $50,

twelve ties to the tree. White or burr oak
Is considered the best timber for the pur-
pose, although cherry, maple, ash, end
even locust have been used The business
