Democratic Senators who insist

the Republican press as "obstruc-

FREAK OF A HAND.
Blown Through a SmoIEe-StRck aI
Caught on "A Rod.

Caught on Rod.
Friday, June 20, Frederick Miller and
David Heller, two employees at the fur
mace at the rolling-mills, were killed by
premature explosion of Hercules pow
der while blasting cut salamandcr from
the bottom Of the furnace, says the Bra
2l Times. Miller was standing directly
over the drilled hole at the time OF the
explosion and was terribly torn and dis
figured. Both arms wore blown off, but
one was found. Every effort to find the
other arm proved fruitless until month
later. The worllmen saw an object
clin-ing to one of the stay-rods that
help 10 support and keep in position the
stacks on the top of the furnace.
Through curiosity they climbed TO the
top and they saw sight that not only
filled them with horror but with wonder.
There in fun sight of all was q mans
hand, with only the stub OF an arm at
tachcd, tightly clasping the rod above
mentioned. There can be no doubt but
that the hand is that Of the unfortunate
Miller. The only theory known for tho
strange freak of tho bodyIess hand is
that tho hand was blown out the top of
the high stack, and in coming down the
muscles, still active, contracted when
the hand struck tho rod and fastened to
il with a deadly grip. From the posi-
tioA in which Miller was standing the
hand could not have reached the posi-
tion it occupied other than in the above
manner. The muscles could not bavc
relaxed much after first contracting else
the hand would have fallen.

SYNONYMS FOR MOTHER.
Children OF Culture Taught Love- Making z
Instead OF Teneratiou.

Instead OF Neneratiou.
Mother, that dear, sweet, matchless
name, synonym for the tenderest, truest
love man ever knew, has been elm
mated from the fashionable vocabulary,
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. In
the revised edition of the gilt-edged lex
icon it is bracketed obsolete.
Only few years ago war was made
on the common pronunciation of the
word mamma, and in spite Of usage the
French method was carried, that is, with
the accent on the last syllable. No",
mother, mamma, and old-fashioned
ma" have been set aside as common
place and various terms of endearment
substituted. One of the wealthiest
ladies in New York has taught her two
little sons to call her precious Dear
one" is the favorite address in the home
of rich and distinguished politician,
and the sciOns of the largest estate in
the country call the young mother ''love
of mine" and the proud father Prince
Charming" But the most common term
of endearment among the children of
the upper class is sweetheart" Com
ing from the little folks. scarcely able
to utter the sounds of the letters, it is
very pretty, especially at table or in the
nursery, when the small child has griev-
ance or n heartache. u is not, however, a
convenient or callablo name at the foot
of the stairs, when the immediate pres
ence or audience of a gentlewoman is
needed Since the abrogation or dear
est, which had as long a run as the
Fauntleroy sash and collar, ''dcarie" has
enjoyed considerable popularity, but of
late intCcnchmcnts have been made up
on tho lovers territory aad all their
tender appellations appropriated.
Sweet one" my own" lovely"
''heart's-ease," dear heart "queen,"
darling" and sweetness are some of
the pet names to which loving and Iowa
BILE mothers respond And after all
there is something very tender and very
sweet in this love-making OF parents
and children, albeit the dignity implied
by plain mother" may appear To be
lacking. 1t is just possible that there
is too much severity in our relations
with the little ones, and that a better,
truer, frmer friendship may accrue from
this child worship. One thing is Ger
tain, that there can be no enhancement
between the real lovers of home. 1t is
the sweet privilege of every mother to
be the idol of her daughters and the
sweetheart of her sons. and she has
only herself TO blame If the child-lover
tires of her and in the MONDAY of life
torgets the glory that frightened his
morning. Mother" may do for the
daughter and son that the marriage
ties will bring 10 the roof tree, but if a
sweeter, dearer name can be invented,
by all means let US have it to use, to
hear and TO love

Little Things That win Keep Them in
Good Condition.


Good Condition.
Probably there is no one thing that
makes girls shrink from house-work
moro than the effect il has on the hands,
especially in cold weather, says Health.
1t is real trial to sit down to the piano
and spread stained, rough hand on the
ivory keys; or TO take ones pen in an
unsightly hand 70 answer letter; or TO
pick up a bit of embroidery, If II is only
that on perforated hose, and use the
needle when every thing that touches
the hands sticks to them because Of
their roughness. Sewing on wooden or
silk is at such times a severe penance.
There are methods of preserving the
hands measurably against the de-
structive effect OF dish-washing, scrub
bing and the like. They should be kept
as much out of the water as possible,
and when the work is done they should
be washed clean and rubbed dry. Borax
water is good for washing the
hands. Coarsely ground oatmeal is
fair substitute for soap in washing the
hands White unscented soaps are the
best, as the highly scented soaps are
usually made of rancid fats A solution
of oxalic acid viii remove fruit stains
from the hands, but ii must not touch an
abraded surface. After washing and
drying the hands thoroughly, glyc-
crime and spirits of camphor in
equal parts mixed together Is
good 70 rub over them Cocoanut oil
is a pleasant application Wearing Kid
gloves two sizes too large j. helpful l.
preserving the hands. One should havc
an old pair OF gloves TO take up ashes In.
to sweep in and 10 wear in all dirty work
that permits the wearing of gloves II
gloves are dipped in not very hot linseod
oil they become waterproof, and may be
worn while washing dishes. 4 pair Of
canton flannel mitucns is pleasant 10
wear when hanging out the clothes on a
cold morning. Frequent rubbing Of the
hands will promote circulation and keep
the skin in good condition. To take the
best care OF the nails, soak the ends OF
the fingers in hot water for some time.
until the skin is sortoncd, then dry, and
with pair of nail scissors thin off all
the dead skin about the nails and trim
the nails neatly.

wOMAN'S HAPPIEST HOUR.
Love Has More to DO with 1t Than Any
Thing Else.

have had it suggested 10 me by
friend staying in the house At this time,
writes The Duchess" in the Ladies
Home Journal, that the happiest mo
ment in 4 woman's life is when, having
brought the man of her heart to the
point Of proposing, she makes him wait
q minute or two for her answer. To
know and feel his anxiety-to under
stand that the anxiety is all caused
through love of her-this would consti-
tute = bliss not to be rivaled, bliss the
sweeter for being so short-lived, and be
cause of the fact that it can never occur
again. But this strikes me as being
little feline in its nature, Just a trifie
cruel.
For myself, / should think there
would be keener JOY in that moment
when a woman is able to say Yes to
the most important question OF her life,
and to give herself freely and gladly 10
the one She loves.
think, however, the question diff
cult one to answer. There are SO many
different natures, that what would be
extreme happiness TO one woman might
be only mild delight to another.
Some women, for example, have the
maternal instinct more strongly devel-
oped than others. and for them the vocal
cry of their first-born must cause an up
lifting Of the heart that no other feeling
on earth could outdo. All in that su-
preme moment is forgotten!
The ambitious woman must find her
best hour when she has attained the
summit of her hopes, and victory crowns
her with its laurel wreath.
To the woman standing over the sick
bed that contains the one being dearest
70 her on earth, can there be an hour
more rife with thankful happiness than
when the doctor declares that there II
hope? o. magic word! Hope that tho
adored one viii be given back to her
from the very jaws of death!
And yet, after all, ] think Love, ''that
great MASTER as he has been justly
called, mas moro to do with a woman's 5
sweetest hour than any thing else on
earth. To love, and to feel ones self
beloved-that is, indeed, to know the

UNLIMITED VISITORS.
It Is to he Hoped That All of Them Will
Read This Article.

1t seems as if measures ought TO be
taken to put an end to promiscuous Wis
iting; in regard TO which there is evil
IDENTIFY no difference of opinion, writes
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man. In these days of incompetent
servants and anxious housekeepers,
even the dearest friends can not feel
quite sure of a cordial welcome. But
when a horde of unlimited guests pre-
cipitate themselves with colossal ef-
frontery upon a quiet, and perhaps
frugal family, it becomes a most exas-
perating and intolerable nuisance. 1t
is worse, if possible, than taking board
ers, because visitors expect to be enter
tained-and literally entertained-in
many cases.
One of the most hospitable of hos
pitable Westerners said that he gave up
his home and endured boarding house,
because he was tired of keeping n
hotel" Another gentleman declared
that he would put smallpox notice on
his house if it would keep away
undesired visitors. And one lady
wrote TO some friends urging
them pathetically to visit her,
because now she would like to have
some one in her house s'whose society
she could enjoy" y Western man,
travelling with his wife and niece,
thought it would be very fine to visit
the Governor of a certain Eastern State.
He never had seen any member of the
family, but niece of his had married
one of his sons He drove up to the
house, and had his trunks deposited be-
fore the door. The Governors wife,
however, was woman of dignity and
determination, and the Western travel
ers did not see the inside of that stately
mansion They departed with trunks
unpacked, and also with good deal of
wondering astonishment.
OF course, this cruelty destroys the
beautiful halo surrounding the hospita-
BILE home with open doors ever ready
for the entrance of angels unawares."
But when good Robert Collyer naive

There is n good deal of difference be-
tween theory and practice but no man
can be 4 success without sprinllling
OF both. Theory is the scaffold on
which the laborers stand. 1t is the line
which makes out the work; but without
practice the edifce would not be reared,
the work would not be done.
Theory is the guide-board that tells the
traveller whore to go, but practice is the
follow that gets there. Both are neces-
sary; bo1h are good in their way; but
too much of one spOils the other
Theory IS good thing to keep on hand
for use in case OF emergency, but it
takes money to pay taxes. Without
theory though, you wouldn't have any
thing 10 pay taxes on.-Rarn's Horn.

"RAMS HORN" CLIPPINGS,

No man ever lives right who does
not live for God.
If your life is not blessing to 9TH
ers it is not blessing to you.
Before you can find rest in the
service of God you must be worker.
Life is full of mistakes and disap-
pointments to the man who tries to live
without God.
No man has a grain of religion who
hasn't got enough to make him want to
help somebody.
One of the longest steps any man
can take toward damnation is to become
a worshiper of self.
Trying to be religious two hours a
week is one of the hardest ways to get
to Heaven any body ever undertook.
1t is wrong to expect that Goo
will do any thing for you that He has
given you the power to do for yourself.
People Who are not quite RICH,
themselves always feel better when
they can find something wrong with
other people.
