Good for the Judge I

There is, perhaps, not much exhibit
ton of fne-drawn legal astuteness in
the elucidation and illumination of nice
points of law by the judges in some
western courts. but there is usually a
great deal of plain common sense in
their rulings and equity in their decis-
ions, and justice gets a show as well as
the law. A Kansas City judge set an
example last week which might well be
copied in some courts near home, to the
great comfort and satisfaction of wit
nesses and the furtherance of the ends
of justice. One of the lawyers in di-
vorce suit began to browbeat and bully
witness, when the judge interposed
with the quiet remark: Gentlemen, if
anyone is unjustly insulted in this court
room will not fine him for resenting
it. This court will not further protect
q man who gives an insult"

A Remedy for Chapped Hands.

One of the best remedies for chapped
hands, from which many women suffer
in the winter, is camphor ice, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. This
is made of three drains of camphor gum,
three of white beeswax, three of sper-
maceti, and two ounces of olive oil.
Put these together in a cup and set
them in pan of boiling water on the
stove, where they will melt slowly and
form a white ointment. This is an
excellent remedy for chapped lips as
well as hands. It may be used by
women who have a dry complexion and
to whom glycerine is therefore irritat-
ing. Vaseline should never be applied
to the face by a woman because of its
tendency to induce the growth of hair.
Experienced nurses and physicians say
that the annoyances which many
women suffer from superfiuous hair on
their faces has been caused by the use
of vaseline. There is no such danger
from the use of camphor ice, cold cream
or glycerine. The old-fashioned prepare
ton which our grandmothers used for
whitening tanned hands must not be
forgotten. 1t consists of two cakes of
brown Windsor soap scraped to a pow
der, a wineglass of Farina cologne and
one of lemon juice. These ingredients
were mixed together and the mass was
nodded into a cake and left to dry. In
a weeks time it was hard enough to
use

FORECASTlNG.

Some Gay as now the world shall reawake;
The city from its brief. dream tortured
sleep;
The country. from its slumber pure and
deep,
To songs of birds in every Towering brake;
And men light hearted, or with hearts that
ache,
Shall rise and go what they have sown to
reap;
And women smile. or sit alone and weep
For life once sweet, grown bitter for loves
sake.
But we, that day, shall not be here-not we;
We shall have done with life, though few
may know.
Between us then shall awful stiffness be
Who spake such words of bliss, such words
of WOO,
As winds remember, chanting fitfully-
Chanting as now-above us lying low.

The Care of an Umbrella.

There are couple of points with re-
gard to the care of an umbrella with
which would wish to supply the pub
lie, for am crank on the subject. One
is in connection with the rolling of it
up. To do this so as not to injure the
ribs and joints, firmly grasp the points
below the cloth with your right hand
while you glide downward with your
left till the folds are nicely laid. The
other is, when the umbrella is soaked
with wet, set with the handle resting on
the floor and let the water run off the
ends of the ribs. If you set it with the
ferule down the water will rust the
hinges at the crest.-Interview in st.

WAsHISdTON, Jan. 2s.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has issued special
| bulletin on the beef supply OF the
| nlted states. Ii Is from advance
sheets OF the annual report OF DR. Sal
moh' chief OF the bureau OF animal In
uustry by series OF tables giving the
market price OF beef aud pork products
IN the Chicago market from 1879 10 1889
some interesting deductions are drawn.
Ohe Is that the tendency of prices with
cattle Will probably be 70 advance within
the next lew years on account of the i'm
prooaDliity OF increasing tine stock OF
cattle As rapidly as the population is
augmentlng, but this advance will be
slow and uncertain. II will be at least
TWO years before the stock OF cattle has
Oeen reduced TO the proportion, as com
pared to population, which existed In
1878, and then the mean price Of steers
was but Si.25 per 100 pounds, or 10 cents
less than In 1889. Ia other words. the
price OF steers for several years I'm the
future will depend more upon the price
OF hogs, upon the value of the exports
OF cattle and beef products, and upon |
the proportion Of steers marketed. than
upon any changes likely 10 occur In the !
number of cattle per 900 pOpolatiop |
existing In the country.
The large export trade of the year
Just ended has done much to relieve the
markets OF this country and to maintain
the price Of cattle and beef. While cat.
lie have sold somewhat lower than dur
ing 1855 che decline has been much less
han in pork. The enormous corn crop
1f this year and the low average price
IL this important article OF animal food
nave been most important factors I'm de-
pressing the price of hogs and cattle.
Dr. salmon says the price Of cattle In
his country Is greatly Influenced by the
Price OF pork. Amy Increase Of our ex-
'orts In pork products would have a
endeney not only 10 increase the price
Il pork In this country but It would un-
onbtedly react upon the cattle trade
nd Improve the price OF beef as well.
.or this reason u Is particularly igaE..oEis
estrictiOns placed by various European
Iatioas upon our pork products.
