A TALK ON HANDS,
Spas modic Attention to Them WI II
Not Prove Beneficial.

Spasmodic Attention to Them WI
Not Prove Beneficial.
Those who long for smooth. soft,
white hands are often advised to wear
gloves at night, and many women
who are careless about glowing their
hands for street wear will be elabor-
ately cautious about the same cere-
mony just before she goes to bed.
Now, that is as it may be, the dis
cussion Of how, when, where and
what kind Of gloves to wear is not
this story. This is about a doctor, a
man who announces that this prac-
tlce, which we women believed TO be
so beneficial, is otherwise. He says it
fades the hands, giving them a dead
look. He further says wear gloves on
the street-that is, wear them on the
hands on the street-but never in bed.
Wash and wipe the hands before
putting on the gloves, and when you
take the gloves off turn them inside
out and let them air. While out in
the sun, wind or rain wear gloves, but
not while sleeping.
Now, all girls are not the happy pos
SCISSORS of soft, white hands, but, on
the contrary, some have brown hands
-shapely, perhaps-but not of that
exceeding fairness so much coveted.
Neither do lemon juice, gloves, nor
oatmeal seem to help the matter
much. But the brown handed girl
can wear, as no one else can wear, the
quaint stones quantity set, and the
dark canoes deeply imbedded in gold.
1t is true that the ordinary rings in
the ordinary settings-emeralds, tur-
quoises, pearls and 80 on-do show
to better advantage on white fingers,
but the curious silver rings so dear to
the stylish hearts never show off so
we'll as when on slender, brown fingers.

vivid colors. This was rather absurd see
ing that Viscount Hinton's recourse to
vagabondsge was due years ago to his
knowledge, and the money lenders, that
cash could not be borrowed upon his pros
poets. No doubt he tried hard enough up
on postobits and the like to raise the wind
before he took to grinding an organ and far
less respectable practices.
Viscount Hinton's father does not de-
serve much pity either. He married the
first woman he met after leaving the
Twenty-second infantrv's barracks in Ports
mouth, as he wagered $1,000 he would, and
then disowned the boy who was born six
months later. Is 1t any wonder that the
fruit of such an union should prove nn-
sound? Viscount Hinton's career has been
strangely checkered.. He has been clown
in pantomine-that's how he came to marry
q ballet girl-a soldier in the Seventeenth
Regiment, from which he deserted, and at
all times and in all sorts of garbs sharper
and a blackleg. His most respectable eff
fort was with peripatstic organ in the
London streets Several jails have enter
tanned him, and almost unawares this coun-
try incurred the honor of his presence in
the fall Of 1889.

most universally given John Murray III
the credit of being the book of the year.
Any man who could boast of having at one
and the same time, as visitors at his house,
Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Disraeli,
Canning, Croker, Clifford and Sir John Bar
row would certainly have interesting remi-
niscences to relate. The Murray just de-
ceased who has been connected with the
house for over so years, must have had an
equally interesting career. It covers a con-
siderable period during which his father
was alive and extends 40 wears beyond.
AS an epoch that should be as important as
any in the history of literature 1t is the
era of Scout, Byron, Bulwer, Thackeray and
Dickens, and John Murray knew and was
intimately associated. with them all. The
fourth Murray. another John, who now as
sumes entire control of the big publishing
houses affairs, is very capable, pleasant
gentleman, of little more than 35 years of
age. For number of years past he has
taken the greater part of the work from his
aged fathers shoulders, and is esteemed
very highly by the authors and writers with
whom he has had dealings

Fortunes in Smoke.

The utilization of the smoke Of factories Is
becoming an element OF greatest Importance.
The waste smoke and gases from the blast
furnaces of Scotch iron works are rented
out for handsome sum. From the works
they are conducted through several miles Of
wrought iron tubing, diminishing in sizs
from feet to 18 inches, and as the gases
cool there is deposited considerable yield
of oil. From comparatively small factory
some %, 900 gallons of furnace oil are thus
recovered weekly. to say nothing OF the
large yield of sulphate of ammonia and
residual gases which can be used as fuel for
distilIing and other purposes. In many
other industries the same disposition 10 use
what was formerly wasted is manifesting
itself.
A company has been formed in England
for collecting the carbon dioxide given off ut
breweries and distilleries during the pro-
cess of fermentation. This has hitherto been
allowed to simply poison the aimosnhere,
and the loss is estimated at q, 900 .OOO, 900
gallons a year, equal to S2, 800, 900, 900. 1t
is intended to liquefy the gas by new
process at about one-sixteenth the cost Of
the ordinary methods. The supply of liquid
carbonic acid will be sold almost entirely to
manufacturers of carbonated drinks. In
spite of this prospective economy OF pro-
duction it is not reported that any reduction
in the price of the popular beverage known
as ''soda" is contemplated.

WORKERS OF THE CABINET
How Elkins, Wanamaker and Foster Get
Through Their Duties.

How Elkins, wanamaker and Foster Get
Through Their Duties.
The Cabinet Ministers work hours after
the clerks have gone away. Secretary FL
kins is always in the War Department till
6 o'clock. He does business rapidly, and
he can get rid of 20 callers in 20 minutes,
and send every man away happy. A great
deal of his work he does in the morning at
his house. and he usually comes to his Office
at IL. He saws he works best in the morn
ing, and that an hour before breakfast is
worth two afterward.
Secretary Noble spends full day at the
Interior Department He is particular to
do everything himself, and he doesn't like
to trust matters to others. He has no
confidential !. manager like Wanamake er
and Foster and the result is that he does
not turn out matters so fast as the heads of
the Postoffice and the Treasury. Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker comes to the de-
partment early and you seldom find him at
leisure until after o'clock. He has had
a big glass plate made for the top of his desk
and map of the United States fits under this
so that the country and its postoffices are
always before him. He does his business
very quickly, decides matters at a glance
and manages his department on business
principles. -He has a number of private
Secretaries and he dictates all of his corre-
spondence. All matters that can be at
tended to by others are given over to them
and the result is that the Postofsice Depart
ment is in better condition than it has ever
been.
Secretary Foster when he first came in
said to his friends; "This Treasury, they
say, killed Manning and Folger, but 1 can
tell you I'm not going to let it kill me-" AS
he said this his eyes were bright, his dark
face was full of iron and the rosy molecules
of pure blood shone through his skin. His
step was firm and his big-boned, broad
shouldered frame was the personifcatlon of
Western strength and energy. He tackled
the work and after few months he broke
down and since then he has been under the
care of doctor. He is good worker, too,
and he has as much common sense as any
man in public life.

ca in 1884 his death, by violent means
mostly, has been reported fully half dozen
times. In November, 1889, for instance,
what the papers at the time called authen-
tic news reached Zanzibar to the effect that
Dr. Peters, with his whole party, with the
exception of one European and one Somali,
had been massacred But the founder of
the German East African Company turned
up safe and sound to plague the British,
who have always regarded him as poacher
upon their preserves. Since then he has
been industriously hoisting the German flag
wherever and whenever he could over new
slices of the continent which belongs-a
trihine consideration-to the black and
brown aborigines.
His recent letter, in which he related
with delightful cheeriness how many ma
tives he had killed in one day, appears,
strange to say, to have shocked some hu-
manitarians unequal to proper conception
of imperial conquests, and it is said that
the German Government intends to haul
DR.. Peters over the Goals when he returns.
Some doubt exists about DR.. Peters amena-
bility to reproof from the German officials,
for the Colonial Department has more than
once officially disclaimed any responsibility
for DR.. Peters OF his expedition. With
most Of his countrvmen, moreover, DR..
Peters, who is young man still, Of un-
doubted courage and energy, is extremely
popular as the chief champion Of German
interests in Africa

The Fuss About an Albtno Robin.

The appearance of an albino robin in the
neighborhood Of GAINESVILLE, O., has been
deemed sufficiently important to warrant
many telegraphic reports to the leading
newspapers of the country. A white robin
or albino bird Of any description is really
not so uncommon a freak of nature as most
people suppose. 1t arises, as is we'll known,
from the absence of coloring matter in the
outer skin. Its cause has been fully e1-
planned by scientists and is generally we'll
known. 1t occurs among all races of man
kind, and it is possible and not uncommon
among many species of animals.
The abnormal whiteness of skin, hair,
feathers, ETC., is due to exactly the same
causes as in the human albino. We know
of white blackbirds, mice, foxes, and every
body has seen white rabbits; as Tor white
robins, to the writer's personal knowledge
at least two have been killed in the vicinity
of Pittsburg within the last few years, and
a naturalist connected with q famous col
.lege situated on the slope of the Allegheny
Mountains, several years since, captured
and now possesses fine specimen in his
study. One would think from the amount
of fuss made that a white elephant-an-
other kind of albino-had suddenly ap-
peared in the neighborhood OF the Ohio
town.

Automatic Music Recorder.

Not many months ago an instrument was
brought before the public by means Of
which, it was claimed. a permanent record
of the improvisations of performer on the
piano could be made. The instrument,
however, was somewhat complex, and it was
found, in actual practice. to present features
which initiated against its general use.
Another mode OF attaining the object of the
invention is now offered by patent auto
matte music recorder which can be attached
to piano, organ or harmonium without af-
fecting the tone or the action in any way.
A feeding and receiving roller are placed
parallel to each other and to the front of the
piano few inches beyond the back Of
the ivory of the keyboard, inside the
piano. On the feeding roller is a
roll of paper, which moves upward to
the receiving roller as soon as the
clockwork attachment which reyolves the
rollers is started. As the keys are struck
both the location and value are registered
by means of Drickers OH the moving sheet
of paper The apparatus being in position,
the composer has only to start the clock
work by pulling out stop within easy
reach of his LETT hand and to play upon his
instrument, when mis- performance, to the
extent of over 1,0oO bars, If required, is
recorded accurately for future reference
Transcription is q comparatively simple
matter, ard it is made easier from the tact
that not only are the notes indicated on the
record, but also their exact duration. .

have made its gardens SO fne that
they have but one rival-the Kew Gardens
near London. The California gardens,
however, have the advantage Of being
beautiful all year round. There is 17-mile
drive through the grounds, which COM
prises mountain and marine scenery in q
combination of surprising loveliness.
A Metropolis In Each End.
San Francisco is the metropolis of North
ern California-Los Angeles of Southern
California. While differing greatly in size,
they have the same active population. In
San Francisco the streets are never quiet,
but present an animated appearance at all
hours of day and night. The climate of
both cities is unfavorable to sufferers from
throat and lung troubles. For such persons
there are numerous places in the foothills
from Pasadena to Redlands and from River
side to San Diego, south to Old Mexico,
keeping we'll back from the coast. The sea-
side resorts are all attractive, and when to q
fine beach is added such quaint and pro-
ductive rose garden as Santa Barbara, one
can only regret that the place is still old
such as the travelling public expect. The
days of inns and taverns have gone by.
For views some of the inland places are
great rivals of the cnast. The outlooks
from the Raymond Hotel porches and
from the Smiley Hills at Redlands are
matchless. In the Ojai Valley the scenery
is very like that of the Allegheny Mount
aims in summer. Which recommendation
Is surely sufficient.
Notwithstanding many inconvenience
and that California lacks much of the fin
ished elegance and tender associations of
Europe, foreigners are more enthusiastic
about the States than Americans east of the
Mississippi. SAMUEL A. AMMoN.
