A Remedy for chap,ed 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 . white ointment. This is al
excellent remedy for chapped lips as
well as hands. II may be used by
women who have dry complexion and
TO whom glyceripe is therefore irritat-
irg. vsseline should never be applied
70 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 supcrfuous hair on
their faces has been caused by the use
of vasclinc. There is no such danger
from the use Of can.phor ice, cold cream
or glyccrine. The o,d-fashioned prepare
ton which or grandnotacrs used for
whitening tanned hands must not be
forgotten. It consists of two cakes Of
brown Windsor soap scraped to a pow
der, a wineglass of Farina cologne and
ono of lemon Juice. These ingredients
were mixed together and the mass was
nodded irto a cake and left to dry In

congressional library, which in 1861
had but 90 900 volumes, now has nearly
500 900, and the number is rapidly in
creasing. Mr.. Sp0tfOrd possesses a
memory of phenomenal power, and
knows every volume in the vast co!iec-
ton under his care. He was born at
Glmanton, New Hampshire. on the
18th of September, 1925. His father
was clergymen. and employed prl-
vate instructor for his son, who at six
teen years Of age went to Cincinnati
and engaged in the bookselling and
publishing business. He had good sue

to acquire the great familiarity with
books and authors for which he has

They were two old people living in a
little German village. Their daughter
had gone to tae United States. or, IS
they said, to America, to seek her for
tune some months before. They had
waited in patience to hear from her,
and at last at weihnachts tChristinas)
time they received pretty card bear
ing the words: "a Happy Christmas. I"
On the back Of the card the sender had
signed her name with a loving word or
two. but gave no address:
To the minds Of the simple old couple,
however,. she had given address enough.
They took the card for an advertise
ment or notice OF their daughters en-
ployer in this country. and forthwith
sent card OF thanks-not to be out
done in politeness by an American
which they directed to "Herr A. Happy
Christmas, America"
1t is needless to say that the card
never reached this country. 1t is pre-
served in German city among the ''cu-

Early Starts.

Eminent men in some cases had the
benefit of an early start. Webster was
in college at fifteen, and At thirty he
was the peer Of the ablest man in con-
gress. Martin Luther had become dis
tinguishcd at twenty-four, and at thirty
six had reached the topmost round of
fame. Napoleon at twenty-five had
commanded the army OF Italy. At
thirty-nine he was not oaly the most
llustrious general Of the tire, but one
Of the great lawgivers Of the world.
William'Pitt entered tho ministry ct
fourteen, was chancellor of the ex-
chequer at twenty-five, prime minister
at twenty-four and at thirty-five was
the most powerful uncrowned head of
