Personal Cleanliness.

Very many people do not keep. the
skin active and healthy as they ought.
The fear of catching cold leads them
to neglect to maintain perfect cleanli-
ness Of the body. and as tho functions
Of the skin are impaired. the work of
throwing out waste material which
rightfully belongs 10 it. falls upon the
internal organs. They will bearthe i'm
position for time. and will labor to-
do the work forced upon them, but
sooner or later they become weakened
by the strain, and then the
waste of the system ac-
cumulatcs within the body and
assists in depressing the vital forces.
Thus. by neglect to keep the skin in a
healthy state. many person becomes
dull and sluggish and disinclined to
mental or bodily effort; all the organs
concerned in life share in the di sturb-
ance. and become indolent and torpid.
The need to maintain perfect cleanli-
acss OF the body is if possible. greater
IN winter than in summer-a fact
which but few appreciates; and to the
acglect OF this essential may be at
tributcd much of the sickness prevails
ng i'll the cold weather. which really
sught to be the healthiest Of the yeas.

6OULANGER,

1ne New Deputy Takes His Seat I'm the
Chamberlain Ovation En- Route-Haste
Exhibited to stem the Advancing Tide of
Boulangerism.
PARIS, April 20.-When the Chamber of
Deputies reopened yesterday Premier
Floquet demanded the order of the day.
Th1s was adopted by vote of 379 to III,
and expressed confidence in the govern
ment and the conviction that it would Sc
cure, by its energy, respect for republican
institutions, the triumph of its policy of
reform and progress and the liberty de-
sired by the country.
General Boulanger arrived in an open
carriage, to take his seat in the chamber.
An immense crowd awaited his arrival,
and cheered him incessantly. The lobbies
were thronged with deputies, who were
highly excited. ALI the various political
groups held reunions. The Extreme Left
resolved to repudiate the plebiscite, and
declared that Boulangist Deputies should
not be allowed in the party. The Left de-
cided not to interpellate the government,
and the Radical Left approved an entente
with the Cabinet regarding the appoint
ment of g. committee to revise the consti-
tuition. The United Right proposed that
committee for this purpose be nominated
at the next sitting of the chamber.
DcIoTc aUJOuTulnS the ueput1eS, Oy
a vote of $40 to 215 fixed Saturday
upon which to discuss the nomination of
q committee on the revision of the consti-
tuition. The chamber then adjourned un-
til Saturday.
Upon entering the chamber General
Boulanger was accompanied by NM. La
guerre, Leprisse and Deroulede. The new
deputy, after the adjournment, returned
TO Hotel Louvres in the open carriage in
which he came. Fully six thousand peo-
pie greeted him ON his way with cheers
and acclamations. Perfect order was
maintained. General Boulanger's ova-
ton was an undeniable one. On all sides
he was cheered, and as he passed along
Rue Rivoli, ladies threw roses into his
carriage. The General saluted the
ladies, and taking the flowers,
pressed them to his heart in token of
appreciation. Isolated cries of "Down
with the Dictator"! were heard. but these
were few in number. On the return to the
hotel, however, a group of deputies and
newspaper reporters from the Chamber
Missed Boulanger and loudly cheered for
the Republic. Several quarrels occurred
which did not amount to very much.
None of them were serious. One came
very near developing into a duel, how
ever. 1t was between Baron DefOur,
Bonapartist, and M. Aren, an Opportun-
list. The gentlemen exchanged cards, but
their friends soon mollified them.

A New Stone with Which They Can EN-

Crape-stone is a novel article used
for jewelry to be worn by persons in
mourning. Pins and brooches for
fastening mourning garments have
commonly been made of wood and
covered with Grape. but the invention
of Grape stone has largely supplanted
them in all parts of the world, and it
is now made into almost every con-
ceivable article of jewelry. The
mandatory is in Rhode Island.

artisans are employed Crape-stone

the effect is perfected by the finer

onyx used in the manufacture of these

Western Territories, but portion OF
the supply is from South America.
The American stone is sent to Ger

The rule of growth is that q child
should increase two pounds in weight
for every inch in height between three
and four feet. and two and half
pounds for every inch weight between
four feet and FIVE feet. Amy child
more than seven pounds below the
weight here given should be examined
medically. A remarkable fact that
comes out from the tables is that the
boys at the public schools and y oung
men at the universities and entering
the public service, here called the up
per classes, average about three inches
taller. and from six pounds to. twenty
pounds heavier than boys in the board
schools and young apprentices and
workmen. Two causes may be as
signed for this--first, heredity. the
one springing from taller. parents.
and. secondly, favorable surround
ings. Deficient and improper food.

crate Treachery.

He eliminates His Own Party of Delib-
crate Treachery.
Reformer Foulke tells the Hale COM
mittee that "there has not been any
Civil-Service reform in Indiana" If
by Civil-Service reform Mr. Foulke
means that no Republicans are retained
in the Government service in Indiana,
he says what is not true. There are
good many of them, including not
few who are active and conspicuous in
their partisanship, and should be re-
moved in the interest of real Civil
Service reform.
But admitting, for the sake of argu-
ment, that there has been no Civil
Service reform in Indiana, as asserted
by Mr.. Foulke, we should like to
know what party is most at fault For
twenty-four years the Government pat
ronage was entirely in the hands OF
Mr.. Foulke's party. During at least
half of this time it stood committed by
its platform and the solemn pledges OF
its leaders to a reform of the civil serv-
ice. In the last two years of its con-
troll of the Government there was Il
Civil-Service law on the statute books.
II. then, there has been no Civil
reform in Indiana. the responsibility
rests mainly with the party which Mr..
Foulke is trying by such desperate
methods to restore to power.
He himself says that all the post,
office employees displaced by Mr..
Jones were Republicans. How came
they to be all Republicans? The
Civil-Service law was in force several
years before Mr. Jones became post
master. How comes it that he found
no Democrats in the post-office when
he took possession? Can Reformer
Foulke explain?
The fact is that, in trying to make
out case against the Democratic
party, Mr.. Foulke has succeeded in
eliminating his own party of delib-
crate, systematic and long-continued
treachery to the cause which he pro-
fesses to have so much at heart. The
Republican party, when it was in
power, never took the first step
toward reforming the civil service.
On the contrary, it prostituted it to
the base uses of partyism to an extent
never before known in the history o.
the Government. Wherever it has the
power to-day it pursues the same
policy. 1t has done more to debauch
the civil service. not only of the
United States, but of States and cities
and towns than all the other political
organizations that ever f1ourished in
this country put together. 1t doesn't
lie in the mouth of a man who is try
ing to reinstate this corrupt party in
possession of the National Govern
ment to accuse the Democratic party
of recreancy to Civil-Service reform.

interests, lie suddenly abandons his

transit of goods in bond. to or from

United states. This legislation is
asked for, in addition to the act of
March, 1887, which empowered linn
to suspend intercourse by sea. without
any demand Oh the part of the peoplc
who have suffered by the Canadian
ontrages. and without any prctcxt in
the present situation of affairs. The
rejection Of the treaty by the senate
leaves the vexatious fishery question
open, it is true, but it is no longer a
burning one. The outrages have
ceased. The modus vivcndi cstab.
