Take common starch and grind it with

Every time the hands are taken from
the suds or dish water, wipe them and
while they are yet damp rub portion
OF starch thoroughly over them, cover

Our silver Prodnc..

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-E. o. Leech,
the director of the mint, has returned
from visit to number of mines in the
west. Speaking of his trip he said: "As
to the prospects of silver mining and
the current production of our mines /
should say that the silver product of the
United States is increasing; certainly
there is great activity in all the mining
camps which visited, and when one
considers that only a short time ago
they were getting only ninety cents an
ounce for silver and three aud three
fourths cents pound for lead, while
to-day silver is worth $l.10 an ounce
and lead six cents a pound. it is not sur
prising that there should be great ac-
tivity in mining industries and that the
output should be increased. Thus the
precious metals are now like wheat and
cereals or manufactured goods; they
cannot be raised ad libitum; they must
be found and when found are soon ex-
hausted, especially when actively profit
ably mined

PARIS, Oct, 22-M. Hoche, minister

chamber of deputies general customs
tariff bill. 1t provides maximum tariff
applicable to products imported from
countries not conceding commercial ad-
vantages to France, and a minimum
tariff reserved for countries consenting
to customs regulations calculated to
benefit French trade. Agricultural
products figuring exclusively in the
minimum class will not be considered in
any arrangement with powers. Among
raw materials those will be exempt
from duty which are indispensable to
great manufacturers. The products
thus admitted free include raw silks
and woods, raw hides and raw cotton.

NlcouAY A. Ex,NDRourcH,
Heir to the Russian Throne, to visit
America This Winter.


WAsIE.GToN, Oct. 22.--Thc reported
intention of Nicolay Alexandrovitch,
the son Of the Gar of Russia, TO visit
the United States, seems to have good
foundation. Inquiry at the Russian
legation in this city elicits the infol ma
tion that the young man is expected
during the winter. but no official an
nouncemcnt has yet been received to
that effect. That there has been CORE
spondence on the subject is indicated by
the statement made Monday that the
grand duke viii travel incognito, and
will make his headquarters in Washing
ton, if he comes, at the Russian lega-
ton. He will not be accompanied by
any extensive retinue, travelling as he
will in private capacity. Owing to
the warm friendship between the two
countries it is expected every attention
possible under the circumstances will
be shown the distinguished visitor by
the United Stares government. The
grand duke is but 20 years of age.

entire party in Ireland, and he felt GER
tain they would have the support of the
Irishmen in America, and that Of the
whole American people.
