How to Keep Your Hands Smooth

Here is sure cure for rough, red, hard
hands. 1t comes from a woman who spent
last summer at Warrenpoint, n famous
watering-place thirty miles from Belfast:
''During the season Irish girls leave their
chickens and cows and come to Warrenpoint
to mind children for the guests. They are
big, strong, merry-hearted creatures, green
as the country grass, with pink and cream
complexions and the most beautiful hands
imaginable. ! couldn't account for them be-
cause they are frequently misshapen and
disfgured by ugly, often claw-lke naiis.
The texture was superb, and make up my
mind to get at the secret. Here il s In
every farmyard there are two bins, one con-
tanning bran for the cattle and the other
oatmeal for the chickens. When the girls
go 10 milk they wash their hands al the
pump and dry them in the chicken feed
The result is superb hands-smooth, soft
and white. When | left the village took
away as much Irish meal as / could carry,
Now | buy the stuff in the feedstore and
use it. | keep 1t in bowl in the bathroom;
| wash my bony hands with CASTLE soap
and pinch of meal, mop them with tow ell
and dry them in the bowl. My hands are
not snft-bones never are-but look at
themv'
They were beautiful-smooth, warm, fine
skinned and as white aS bread.

THE sILvER-pURcHAsINd POLICY.

The Philadelphia Times devotes column
to an account of the losses of the Govern
ment through the policy of purchasing sill
YER. That paper says:
To be precise. the Government has purchased
silver during the last twenty years amounting In
the aggregate 10 S477, ,575,403 The present
value OF The silver thus purchased is less than
its cost by S97, ,344, 500. During the year 1892
the average cost of the silver purchased was
S7.55 cents per ounce. The present value is
about 50 cents, making loss on the years pur-
chases Of S2,462, 900
TO be precise, the Government did not
commence to purchase silver in 1878. In
that year the 4l215-grain silver dollar was
dropped from the list of American coins,
but silver small coins OF relative lighter
weight were still coined. In 1878 the Bland
silver act was passed. 1t required the coin
age of not less than $1,000, coo nor more
than $4,000. 600 worth OF silver each month,
but 10 purchase of bullion on the part of
the Government. The coins deprecated in
commercial value. but as the supply was
limited they circulated at their face value.
The 412115-grain silver dollar would buy as
much as the 25.Sgrain gold dollar. In 1890
The Government began 20 purchase silver
bullion. There has been considerable loss
on the amount since purchased. But the
conviction grows stronger each year that
silver will eventually be restored to its old
service as money. The financial situation
is becoming every year the more critical.
Europe is now draining the United States
of gold by offering higher price for it than
is offered in the United States. The New
YORK bankers are doing their best to make
the American Government bid against
European Governments for gold. An issue
of gold bonds, which the bankers favor,
would bring gold back. for the reason that
our bid would then be the highest. 1t is
quite true that the policy of purchasing sill
yer has not maintained its price, but it has
cost the Government no such an amount as
is represented.

THE EAST GETTING TIRED.

The Record Union reminds the public
that the two New York Senators represent
100000 of people, while the two Nevada
Senators represent but $4,000 people. The
East, that i0urnal says, is tired OF this un-
equal distribution of sovereignty. 1t is
rather easy i0r the East TO complain. The
Nevada Senators. the California Senators
and the Oregon Senators, with half a dozen
Senators from new States thrOwn in. have
less weight with the administration than
any one OF the Senators from four or five
Eastern States. Who ever heard of Cab
met post going west of the Mississippi?
New York generally has two, Massachu-
setts one or two right along, the other half
being given TO Ohio Illinois or other of the
Middle Western States. If we except a
single Instance where a carpet bagger
gained residence in Oregon. the Pacific
Coast has never been represented in the
Cabinet. While 1t is a fact that the new
States have Senators out of proportion to
their population, 1t does not follow that
they have influence in proportion to repre-
Sentaton.

CUT RATES.

The Los Angeles Express bas conceived
the idea that San Francisco papers are de-
Douncing the Southern Pacific Company for
reducing freight rates to meet the rates of
the North American Steamship Company.
The Express should disabuse itself OF this
idea as quickly as possible. The reduction
of freight rates is precisely what San Fran
cisco wants. But some pains has been
taken to point out the fact that reductions
are made only on articles and to points that
come in competition with the North Ameri-
can Steamship Company. This fact shows
that the railroad company was not actuated
by desire to relieve industries of part OF
their burden, but by determination to
make the steamship line improbable. The
Express thought the railroad had cut too
low TO suit the North American line. 1t is
not certain tina. the steamship company
cannot carry goods at the railroads present
rates without losing money. At present
the steamship company seems in way to
get all the freight it can handle without
meeting the railroad cut.

1t is uphill work breaking down the GUS

The case of widows many of them mere

Western mind. They become wives from
obedience TO religious duty, and they re-
