A good kitchen garden well stocked with

lives near a village. especially one with large

not yield larger returns than whole field in
farm crops. There is but little out-of-door
work in the garden in mid-winter. When
ever the soil will permit il may be worked in
mild weather, and thus facilitate the spring
operations. Implements should be put in
order, and new ones sought out and procured
for spring operations; even a plow point or

half day in the busy season. Now is the time
for overhauling the seeds. testing them as to

street to stiffen up weak poker hands
or persuade people who don't carry a

of st, les and sizes of razors. Some
like a big, heavy blade (; others a small

blade. / rather think the latter are
least liable to cut the skin. In all cases
the blade and handle Of the razor should

the demand is every year. Some houses

How to Preserve and Restore
Health.
Caroline Mubelbach, of St. Louif !,
II years of age, died of blood poisoning,
caused by wearing tight shoes.
In Cleveland, a piece of lime which
a boy carried in his pocket, was the
cause of his death from blood poisoning.
THE TREATMENT OF FLEsH-woRMs.
The black points flesh worms, or come
dones, which are found In the face,
and especially near the nostrils, are not
at all produced by the accumulation of
the particles of dirt and dust, as has
generally been believed, but by pig
mentary matters, which is soluble In
acids. The following treatment has
been recommended Kaolin, 4 parts !;
glycerine, 3 parts; acetic acid two
parts, with or without the addition Of
a small quantity of some ethereal oil.
With this pOmade, cover the parts af-
fected in the evening, and if need be
during the day. After several days all
the eomedones a be easily expressed /;
most of them eve come out by wash
ing the parts with pamice stone soap.
The same results can be obtained, by
bandaging the parts affected for a long
time with vinegar, lemon juice, or
diluted hydroehloric acid. The acids
act like cosmetics, IS they transform
the black color into a brown and yellow
shade and destroy it gradually alto
gether.

READY TO RETIRE.

Judge Ray, Chief of the Division of Postal
Laws of the Postoffice Department, Ten
ders His Resignation.
WAsHINGToN, Sept 27-The resignation OF Judge
Ray Chief of the Division OF Postal Laws and Reg
ulations of the Postofice Department, has been
rendered to the Postmaster General, and will
probably be accepted. Judge Ray occupied some.
what peculiar position In the Department being
the head of a division which had not been created
by Congress, but which had become established by
usage of office In this position he was called on
TO give opinions on legal questions at the same
time that there existed regular law officer of the
Department in the person OF Assistant Attorney
General of the Postofice Department, Judge Free
man. Judge Gresham on becoming Postmaster
General and finding conflict of opinions between
the law divisions OF his Department concluded
that such ananolous conditions OF things should
not be allowed 10 continue, and so issued order
transferring Judge Rays division to Assistant At
torney Generals office, making but one Law De-
partment. The personal relations existing be-
tween Judge Ray and Assistant Attorney General
Freeman were such that the former could not
WORK harmOniously as q subordinate of the latter
officer. and sooner than continue in such a subor-
dinate position rendered his resignation. Judge
Ray was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Indiana
before coming to Washington. The Postmaster
General has the highest esteem and respect for
Judge Ray, add their relations remain perfectly
friendly. :
