Secretary Noble.

Secretary John W. Noble, of the
Interior Department, has learned in
his brief official career that troubles
come not singly. First speck in the
sky and then the air is dark with an
guish. The first grave trouble that
came to the Interior Department was
from Corporal Tanner, Pension Com
missioner. He got into deep water
himself and put Mr.. Noble in a hole
still deeper Then farther down the
stream the land department of the
Interior office, found still deeper
hole and is now crowding Mr.. Noble
into that. And farther down still Mr..
Morgan, Indian Commissioner, has
found hole deep enough to drown
them all and he has gotten into il
himself and is pulling the others in
after him. Mr.. Morgan, It's said, has
violated the postal laws to the amount
of 100000 by ranking mailablt
matter not embraced in the Thanking
laws, so disgraceful has he acted ii

A FEW years agone and the needle
of the political compass pointed North
and South. On all great issues the
North was arrayed against the South
and the South against the North. 1t
is not so to-day. The needle has
shifted and is steadying itself to the
East and West From this time for
ward it will be the East against the
West and the West against the East.
In former years when the contest was
with the North and the South the
West held the balance of power; In
the coming contest of the East against
the West, the South will hold the
balance of power, The next congress
will inaugurate this fight, fairly ant
squarely, the needle will come to {
standstill, aud the present generation
will not see it change its position
The signal guns will be fired in thu
battle for the speakership of thu
Lower House of congress. The Eas
will stand for Mr.. Reed of Maine ant
the West will support Mckinley o
Ohio or Cannon of Illinois. Afte
that will come Wall street and 1T
allies against the mining, manufactul
ing, stock raising and agricultural in
terests of the West supported by tn
South, and the readers of THE NEW
of to-day will not live long enough t
see all the issues growing out of thi
contest amicably and peaceably Sc
tied.

Who Killed Cock Robini

THE News has given up all hope
for Statehood this year. Whatever
possibilities there may have been for
it in days gone by they do not exist
to-day. The provisions made for next
Tuesdays election preclude all
thoughts of a full and fair election,
and without a full and fair election
we are driven to hope against hope.
The theories for the defeat of the
cause are as numerous as the parties
advancing theories. One says-The
misleading address of the committee
killed it in the start; another says
The proposed constitution makes
Statehood too expensive; another
There was too much legislation put
in the constitution; another-That the
constitution kills the public school
system by putting it in the hands OF
probate judges who are crowded with
legal business and who know but lit
tie and care less for public schools,
and by practically withdrawing the
school lands from market by placing
price on them that cannot be ob
tanned in this generation; another says
a general election on ratification day
would have drawn out all the people
and we would, in this way, have got
J ten an expression that would have in
3 sured our admission; another says
: that the old foges, the mossbacks, ant
e the GROWERS defeated it, and the Bois'
!. Statesman gives the freshest theor.
s of all-The Mormons killed it, bu
e the theory of The News is-the peopl
n killed, it killed it by letting it glorious
It " alone. They have felt they wer
e not consulted in the beginning OF tn
s move, they were not consulted as
d advanced and they will let it work on
a its own salvation. But there is on
n thing as true as holy writ, and it ma
/. be learned now as well as at anytim

IT vice and consent of its people. Th

peddles threads and buttons along the coast.
At Cincinnati there is also boat woman

GIrls Win Paint

l was the other afternoon in the park, and
was looking At the ladies driving in their car
riages. A considerable number Of them had
endeavored 20 Improve" their compilations,
and, what Is more curious, the young ones
seem to hay done SO even more than the
elderly ones Now, admitting that to paint
the face be d ,sirable, IL ought at least to be
well done particularly when the painting has
to stand the test of sunlight l never saw
faces worse painted.
An Ameri an girl paints from her child
hood upward, and by the time that she goes
over to London to be presented at court and
10 take part in such other functions so dear
to the young republican, she has acquired a
mastery Of her art. So again with French
women. They know how TO paint. But Eng
lish girls knC W as little about it as savages
The white that they daub on their faces looks
blue in daylight; their rouge becomes a pale
magenta; the black line that they draw
round their eyes gives their orbs bead like,
expressionless air; the red that they put on
their lips assn mes a brownish tint and dark

their eyebrows generally end in making one

Two Girls in the Countrr.

Girls who's homes are in the country
where summer sojourners from the cities are
frequent may aarn many dollar by putting
up preserves, iellies and pickles, which the
city folks will gladly buy to take back with
them. In n sn all town in Western Massa-
chusetts the story is told of two young ladies
whom necessi y suddenly obliged TO earn
their own living. One OF them started out
as a music teacher and the other one placed
In a conspicuous position a sign announcing
any orders for canned fruit, jellies, pre-
serves and pickles would be promptly filed,
and If desired made from the customers own
receipts. Throughout the summer both girls
had all the orders they could fill and talk of
hiring help. The business proved more profit
able than music teaching, and besides earn
ing a comfortable living enabled the sisters
TO remain together in their old home-Lew-

Birthday Stones.

Among the many amusing superstitions Of
women perhaps the one that does the least
harm and affords any lady the greatest
amount Of satisfaction Is the wearing Of the
birthday stone as a sort OF amulet or charm
TO bespeak good luck and to ward OFF all
those hidden misfortunes that the veil OF the
future would most certainly reveal were it
not for this same potent tallsman A very
charming woman, whose birthday chances
TO fall in the month Of July, insists that she
never had any luck until she adopted the
ruby for daily wear, and no amount of rail
lery or persuasion can induce her 10 appear
for a single day without having this beauti-
full stone somewhere about her, either in a
ring upon her slender finger, "A circlet upon
her arm, or hidden somewhere in the lnce
about her throat. 1t may be only n tiny
point Of fire, but IL sufiices to warn the envi-
Gus fates that its lovely possessor is guarded
against their baleful influence. The opal, a
stone Of such unluclsy omen that few women
will wear IL at all, loses all its Objectionable
qualities when worn as birthday stone.
When the birth stone chances 20 be one OF
the secondary stones. and therefore unsuita-
BILE to be about the toilet used II is often put
in a seal and, mounted with the monogram

Momen,s Feet In China.

A native Chinese journal, discussing the
practice of cramping ladies' feet, says that in
lGd4 the great and enlightened Emperor
Kangshi issued an edict forbidding it under
heavy penalties, and calling upon all local Of
flcials to suppress the custom But four years
later, on the advice of the board OF cere-
monies, he withdrew the edict, aud left the
ladies free to follow their own tastes. The
origin of the strange custom seems to lie lost
in obscurity. In the Eighth century OF our
cru the wife Of an emperor Of the Tang dy-
nasty is said 10 have worn shoes only three
inches long, and one theory assigns the prac-
tice TO the Fourth century, A. D., "when
Pan Fei danced before the last Of the SOW
ereigns Of the Isl dynasty, aud every foot
step made u lily grow" Ii Is also said that
IL originated In the Tenth century, when a
beautiful concubine of one of the emperors
tiled up her feet with silk into the shape of
the crescent moon, and all the other beauties
of the time initiated her." The Oldest poets
make no reference to the cramped foot, but
sing Of the beauty of the snow white feet OF
the women Of their times, when the foot
gear, when IL was worn, was square toed for
men and round toed for women. The native
writer thinks the custom was progressive,
and only gradually attained its present pitch

For moths salt Is the best exterminator
The nuns in one OF the hospital converts have
tried everything else without success, and
their experience Ia valuable, as they have so
much clothing Of the sick who 20 there; and
strangers, when lying there, often leave
quantities Of cloth ng, etc. They had a room
full OF feathers, which were sent there for
pillow making, AMI they were In despair, as
they could not extrminate the moths until
they were advised to try common salt They
sprinkled 1t around, and In a week or ten
days they were altogether rid Of the moths
They are never trc ubled now. In heavy vel
vet carpets sweeping them with salt cleans
and keeps them from moths, particles of
salt remain In the carpets and corners. Salt
is not hurtful TO any one, and has no bad
smell. Here is a ! tile hint add and which
perhaps every one Ices not know: For clean
ing wash basins, bath, etc, use the same
thing, common dry salt. Rub little Of the
salt with your fng .rs on the basin. Often a
sort Of scum is mott ed in the basins in a mar
bic washstand in tt . bathroom; the salt takes
10 of easily, and lesLves the basin shining and
clean. -Philadelphia Press.

Women should study Politics.

II there one thing more than another
which the average middle aged woman needs
90 make a study Of IL is In matters pertain
ing to poll lies, says an exchange. Having
never had the privilege of voice in public
affairs, women have become accustomed to
thinking but little about such matters, and
are largely the creatures of custom. All this
must now be changed, and to perfect the
change we will find that plenty of hard study
awaits us. Many young school girl, fresh
from her study OF civil government-once I'M
thought OF in the common schools-can give
many point in political matters to her
father old politician though he may be, re-
garding ''tte government OF the people, by
the people, and just how the law is admin
istered.
Ask a group OF women concerning their
rights and iberties under our existing laws
and probab y more than half the number will
declare that they have never bothered their
heads about such questions.
But the ii ne has arrived when women must
learn to think for themselves Already in
various cities women s clubs are being formed
for intelligent study of the political questions
of the day, and newspapers are read, and po-
litical works are discussed, until one won
ders where il will all end.

Inc Weddipr Ring Finger.

The origin of wearing the wedding ring
upon the fourth finger Of the left hand has
been much disputed, even from very ancient
times A reasonable inference from the Gus
tom Of WEARING rings generally on the fourth
finger as u matter Of convenience is given by
Macrobius Latin author of the Fifth CEN
fury, who says: "At first It was both free
and usual to wear rings on either hand; but
after that luxury increased, when precious
gems and rich insculptuPes were added, the
custom OF wearing them ON the right hand
was trans ated unto the left; for, that hand
being less employed, thereby they were best
preserved And for the same reason they
placed them on this finger tthe fourth, for
the thumb is too active a finger, and is
too conn only employed with either of the
rest; the index or forefinger was too naked
whereto 20 commit their pretiosities, and
hath the Iition Of the thumb scarce unto the
second joint; the middle and little finger they
rejected a. extremes, aud as too big or too
little for & eir rings; and of all chose out the
fourth, as being least used of any, as being
guarded OF either side, and having In most
this peculi ar condition, that il cannot be ex-
tended alone and by itself, but will be accom-
panied by some finger on either side. Lip
