ScrOfuIa

Is one of the most fatal scourges which
i.llict mankind. 1t is often inherited,
but may be the result of improper vacci..
nation, mercurial poison, uncleanliness,
and various other causes. Chronic Sores,
Ulcers, Assesses. CanceEcus Humors,
and, in some cases, Emaciation and Con-
sumption, result from ascrofulous condi-
ton of the blood. This disease can be
cured by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla.

BROOKS FATHER ARRIVES.

NEW YORK, Feb. = - The steamship
Auronia, from Liverpool, arrived here last
night One Of the cabin passengers was S.
H. Brooks, the father of the prisoner
Brooks. alias Maxwell, who is under sen
tence of death at St Louis for the murder
of Preller Although Mr.. Brooks was ret
icent, and his fellow passengers felt a re-
luctance is asking about his sons case, he
was understood as being disposed to blame
the supreme court for what he regarded as
one Of the most unfair and unjust judg-
ments ever passed in a civilized country"
He had been informed that one OF the dis
sentient judges had expressed the opinion
that seldom mad justice been SO tiagrantly
denied to an accused person. Further
more, he believed that the prisoner would
have stood much better chance for
his life in an English or almost any Eu-
ropean court. There was good reasons, he
thought, to suspect that the minds of the
jury were prejudiced against the prisoner
The prisoners counsel mad done and were
still doing all in their power for the
,prisoner, but whether they would claim
that the latter was insane as a reason for
asking executive clemency. was not stated.
One source of regret in the mind of the
father is that his son did not tell the
whole truth Immediately after the death
of Preller On this point he was reported
as saving on the steamer: II repeatedly
urged him to keep nothing back. Preller's
death was accidental AS to the alleged
confession made by my son to Detective
1ngfelder, characterize as being such as
should have been excluded at the trial 1t
was the base testimony given by a paid
hireling who sent to Jail as pretended
prisoner in order to trump up case for
the prosecution. 1t was indeed most
unfair and illegal proceeding

Something About "i1ade" Dishes.

''It's all very well to talk of made dishes, I"
broke out a woman one day in a council Of
housekeepers, ''but what is one going to do if
her family won't touch them. Now there's
my husband; he won't eat hashes or stews or
made overs Of any kind. He always wants
steaks or chops or veal outlets for his break
fast, and the boys are just like him. II
were to put a scallop on the table he'd call if
baked hash or boarding house fare, and it
would be just the same with cro4uettes or
anything else of the kind. He says he wants
something solid for his meals"
Undoubtedly many women have to battle
with this sort Of opposition in their endeavors
to raise the standard Of cookery in their
homes Still there are many men who relish
made Dishes and there are Others who can
be brought to do so by a little junocent
Diplomacy. 1t is not worth while to adver-
tise by blowing trumpets before it that the
ragout or pate that presents such an attrac-
tive appearance is composed of scraps from
yesterdays roast, the gravy made Of the
bones and little boiled rice or macaroni. 1t
would be no qualification to most men TO
know that the whole dish cost just thirty
seven end half cents With the woman. on
the other hand, the knowledge of the fact
causes her to thrill with mild exultation and
imparts flavor to the food that would be
quite missing in a meal that was three times
as expensive Terhune Eerrick in
Harper's Bazaar.

Good Health and Physical Beauty

The handsomest woman / ever saw was
one who took great care of her health. When
knew her she was over 80, bat no girl OF lG
that have ever seen had roster cheeks or
brighter eyes OF course she was naturally
fine looking, but the attention she gave to
matters of hygiene added to and preserved
her beauty. What did she do! i don't know
that | can recount all but | remember he7
telling me she took a sponge bath every
morning; was particular about the ventila-
ton of her apartments; took long walks
when she could: ate but little meat, much
fruit and cereals whenever she could get
them Another thing she did which she
tried without success to get ME to do, she
drank her coffee without milk or cream,
diluted with water
The reason she took her coffee so was be
cause her physicians told her it was healthier
to drink it in this way. Whether the prac-
tice added to her personal charms or not
! don't know On the whole she was certainly
repaid for her systematic habits, and as GER
tainly there was nothing arduous about the
performance Of them. Nor was there any
thing bizarre about them as, it seems TO me,
there is about the following account / read
of Chicago belle:
"To keep the suppleness Of her figure she
stands one hour daily, fifteen minutes at
time, with her hands on her hips before
long mirror. and bending her knees out from
each other she sinks slowly down to the floor
as low as possible, then as slowly uprising,
meantime moving her arms in any direction
to their utmost length, out or up, forward or
back until when she stands erect they are
ready TO be placed on her hips again.
Each movement is repeated. every time
little accelerated. until al the end OF thirteen
minutes it is done quickly, and fine color Is
in her cheek She then lies down on per-
fectly fiat couch, without pillow, until her
breath comes smooth and regular, as 1t will
in the two minutes left in her quarter CT an
hour. When she plays good deal OF tennis
she cuts down her exercising one-naH" Oh
course, the benefit to De derived from this
procedure is not 70 be questioned, whatever
may be though. Of it besides It is easy to
see her whole body thus receives good e1er-
else, adding to the grace OF her own form,
identifying her complexion and making her
stronger and healthier.-San Francisco foss.

THE METROPOLITAN TROUBLES.
President Means Arrested-An Interview
With Harper.

CINCINNATI, Feb Another sensa
tional feature has been added to the Met
ropolitan bank suspension. 1t is the
arret Of Hon. VIM. Means, the president
of the bank The warrant was issued this
morning but was not served in the usual
manner out of regard for Mr.. Means
District Attorney Burnett notified him
after IL o'clock of the issue of the writ.
and arranged for Means to go voluntarily
with his bondsmen to the commissioners
office at 2 o clock.
With the Fidelity cases fresh in mind
and with the proof they gave of the re
lentless power of the government, that
there has been plain transgression of the
law, this arrest causes a decided sensation.
Mr. Means has had leading position
among the business men for number
OF years: has been reported quite
wealthy, served n term as mayor though
not elected by a party vote, but by a com
binatior whose support was compliment
tary to their candidate To have n man Of
such prominence put in peril of imprison
ment causes profound feeling. There is u
statement to the effect that an eyamina-
ton of the banks books aud papers shows

and Others connected with the bank very
largely in excess OF the limit allowed by
law to anyone. 1t is possible that this
wrongduing NAV have been carried on to
such an extent as to imperil the banks
solvency. At this time it is not thought
that other arrests will he made. but OF this
no one can speak with certainty. because
there has not been time for q thorough in
vestigation of the banks affairs.
President Means aDDpal,au this afternoon
at the office of United States Commits
soner Dorger with Henry Hanna, Major
Fechheimer, Patrick Enoch and c. NJ
Holloway as sureties and gave bond for
his appearance in the sum OF $4,000. The
charge against him in the warrant is
misapplication OF upwards of $4,000 of
the funds of the bank.
Michael Ryan, one of the directors of the
Metropolitan bank, attributes the failure
TO the weakening influence of the increase
OF capital. He said thst of the 500 900 in
crease offered. only 500. 600 was sold and
the remainder WAS used Us collateral for

then gives the statistics of the wool in
dustry of the country as affected by the
tariff, and continues: The wool growers
who appeal to other farmers throughout
the country show that the prostration Of
their industry is imminent: that they
number more than .000 900, who would be
forced to give up wool growing, and must
devote their land to other branches of
agriculture in which competition
Is already severe enough; that
the prostration of the manufacture would
also deprive American farmers of con-
siderable part Of their home markets, and
that. with wooden goods worn by nine
tenths of the people as cheap now as in
any other country, quality considered, the
consumers have only to pay higher prices
if the enormous consumption of this coun-
try is to be supplied wholly or in part by
foreign looms They therefore ask a
united effort of all farmers to obtain from
congress such action that this industry
may receive the substantial protection en-
joyed under the tariff of 1867.

In closing my talk with the ladies on this
subject would classify and sum up my adj
vice something like this:
Train your features to cemposure, AID
avoid ell grimacing habits.
Exercise much in the open air.
Use oils creams and fruit freely In your
diet
Drink simple, blood purifying herb teas
frequently.
Do not wash your faces oftener than oncea
day, but apply some harmless cream or meal
at least twice in twenty-four hours
If niggardly Nature or Jealous Time on .
hot summer day necesztates the addition OF
powder puff to your toilet articles, use it
with discretion and moderation.
And in addition to all this You must keep
your minds busy, your thoughts cheerful
and your souls free from bitterness If you
would preserve fresh, attractive exterior
