Care of the Hands.
care of the hands is al

The care of the hands is an all-im-
portant part of a lady's toilet. To keep
the skin smooth and white, the nails
tinted and fled, with the half moon
visible at the base, requires constant at
t~ention.
A noted actress, travelling on heI
beauty, has a professional manicure dress
her hands each evening. Society women
spend much time polishing their nails;
busy women can only follow slowly aud
snatch a moment each day, to keep them
in presentable appearance and endeavol
10 retain as long as possible the beauties
nature has given her. For a proper care
Of the hands a manicure set is absolutely
necessary and can now be easily obtained
az reasonable cost.
A few hints for its use, our lady
readers may appreciate. Soft, warm
water is the best to use for washing the
hands; a little boraz dissolved in i
whitens and softens the skin. A mos
important thing is to properly dry th'
hands afterward if this is not properly
done it reddens and chafes them. Witt

skin from around the nails, and file then

A woman's 6nger-nails are just as mucl

Young English Maidens.


Until they so into the world they are
modest and retiring to a delightful
degree. There is o sweetness and SIM
picity of manner in a highborn young
English maiden which is irresistible in
its unconscious charm; a natural timid
grace that reminds one of the movement
and expression Of a fawn; a delicacy as
exquisite and pure as the first breath of
the morning. They are natural, and
therefore womanly; full apparently of a
repressed but genuine feeling that half
frightens them with its unaccustomed
and mysterious sensations; as bewitch-
ing at this period as any woman in the
world.
After they arc tout" much of this
peculiar at~tractivenest is lost. The soft,
easy grace becomes a cold and formal
manner or hardens into q naughty super
ciliousness. They join in the hunt for a
husband, and sickle at nothing to bring
down their man. Or if they live in the
very dissipated set, they contract a
fippant ferwardness that suggests and
sometimes surpasses the conspicuous
manner of an underbred American belle.

Collector of the Waldo district. the coun-

Knox would have been well satisfied with

doubt that civil service reform will arise

count of these appointments. but the neg

Lincoln will wonder why both Collectors
should be taken from one small county
and they be left out in the cold.

New Light on Bestou's Case

District Attorney Benton's case. who
has just been reinstated in office by the
President. presents newly discovered tea-
lures which demand the attention of
President Cleveland. 1t will be remem-
bered that the President in his recent let
ter took the ground that officers who talked
against the administration should be re
moved from their positions, and this was
the reason why Stone was not restored
to office. 1t appears by facts recently
published that Benton has not been truly
loyal" to the administration, though he
is democrat. Indeed. he talked more
harshly in his speeches against the Presi-
dent than Stone did. Stone, it appears. did
not assail the administration in any speech
he made. Benton, on the contrary, was
outspoken against the President and his
policy. One of his speeches contained
the following passage:
l don't agree with President Cleveland
in everything. | don't believe in his civil
service humbuggery- I do believe in geu-
uine civil service reform, but l don't want
