activity enough apparently shows how

HOMEMADE COLD CREAM.
Cheap, Pure and SO Simply Made That
It's worth Trying.

Cheap, Pure and So Simply Made That
It's Worth Trying.
These are the days when ehapped
hands, rough faces and cracked bps &C
tually cry out for treatment such as will
protect them from the eagerness Of the
nipping winds and the blasts of driving
sleet and storm which autumn and win
ter are sure to bring.
Nothing is as good, after all, as the
good old remedy which our grandmoth-
ers used. In those days it was called
mutton tallow, and was served In a
primitive, unscented state, which the
luxury loving women of this generation
could not endure. But now, under the
guise Of cold cream, it is really a de-
licious article for tho skin if it be prop
erly made, and is SO prepared that it may
be kept indefinitely as a toilet cream.
The basis of the cold cream is mutton
tallow always. You can obtain this at
the butchers, and If you tell him what
it is for he viii select some very fine
white tal1ow, which will be exactly what
you want.
Cut the tallow into bits, and put it in
to q saucepan without any water. Set
the saucepan in a jar Of boiling water
and let all remain until the fat is thor
oughly .tried" out Of the tallow. Strain
through a fine sieve, and while still
warm stir In a teaspoonful of the essence
of camphor in the proportion of one tea
spoonful Of camphor to every cup of the
tallow. Next, O tablespoonful of your
favorite perfume, and stir until all is a
sweet smelling liquid.
Before it has had time to cool pour
into a little toilet jar and set upon the
ice over night. 1t will keep indefinitely
and will be found one of the best RENE
dies in the world for skin that gets
rough and winter sore"
A pretty little custom which grand
mother had, and which may be daintily
initiated, was the use Of empty egg
shells for the reception of the cold
cream.
To prepare the shells make a small
opening in one end of an egg and pour
out the contents. While the shell is
still moist pour in the camphorated
cream and set away to harden. The
e~ggshells may be tied with ribbons and
hung by the side of the toilet table, tax
ing the place of the iar. Of cold cream.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Payton Comedy company gave the
rural comedy. Uncle Joshua Whitcom6"
at the Crawford Grand opera house last
night to an audience that filled the house
to the doors. In the quaint but natural
character of Uncle Josh. Mr.. Payton WAS
at his best, and carried his audience with
him in his transition from fun to pathos
The support was good, aud the entire per-
Torrance smooth and enjoyable.
The company remains at the opera house
all the week, the bill for tonight being
the sensational four act comedy drama
Struck Cas-" in which beside
the dramatic interest there will
be striking scenic effects. Miss
Keene appsares in the character OF Wild
Cat, one of her best creations. and the
cast of characters brings out the strength
of the company. Little Ethel May will
appear in specialties entirely different
from last night.
Ladies will be admitted free again to-
night. that is for each paid ticket on the
first floor the purchaser will be given a
check for the lady accompanying him.
and owing to the extremity Of the weather
ice water will be passed through the au-
dieuce during the perfor FINANCE.

JUDGE LOWE IN TOWN.

Judge Lowe of the Rock Island road
was in the city last night, journeying to-
ward Caldwell, where he will probably re-
main till after the opening Of the Chero-
kee strip In answer to a question put to
him by an EAGLE reporter with reference
to train service on the day of the opening
Mr.. Lowe stated that the Rock Island
would abide by the directions Of the sec
rotary Of the interior and provide ample
accommodations for the transportation OF
passengers into the strip. When it was
suggested to him that town might be
started at Pond Creek on the north side
of the river he remained silent and neither
assented or demurred 10 the opinion. That
a town will be started near the old ranch
at Pond Greek there is no doubt, and it is
strongly limited that the Rock Island road
is not disappearing Of the plan by any
means.

THE UNITND STATS DISTRICT COURT.

Court convened at $50, and the further
calling Of the docket was resumed. Cases
were set for trial and others stricken from
the docket, having been there so loug the
judge said they must burden the docket
no longer.
w. c. Dillon and Archbishop Dillon
were arraigned on charge of counterfeit
ing, aud Judge Foster called on Col. Hal
lowell to defend them. The men had no
money, and the colonel being millionaire,
readily consented After consultation

FARMING IN FOREIGN LANDS.

EXPERIMENTS made in the tobacco
cultivation throughout Europe have
not given much promise of success.
In Germany, where the cultivation of
tobacco has been carried on for long
period, the area planted fell from the
avera., of about IS. coo acres; between
1870 and 1850 to 90, 500 acres for last
years crop.
THE average requirements OF the
United Kingdom and France during
ten years past have been $50, ooo. 900
bushels Of wheat, bat this years crop
is estimated at only 325, o0o, 900 bushels.
leaving a balance of POS. 900 bushels
that it will be necessary TO import dur
ing the harvest year 1894, which is
over 90, 0o0, GOO bushels more than thu
average requirements
THE import duties on foreign corn,
corn meal and beans in Mexico have
been restored, the president Judging
that the cause for their suspension had
ceased. These duties were removed
on account OF the short crops o. las:
year in order to prevent distress among
the poor people, ard Mexico has sent

States 70 pay for corn
The condition Of the English crops
continues unsatisfactory. especially
ia the case of barley. which was plant
ed on smaller area than usual Beans
shed their flowers without podding,
and In many places the crop was cut
for fodder. Peas. though smaller

ALFALFA.

o. G. Jacobs was down from Valley
Center on business. and among other
things. mentioned that he was harvesting
his second crop of alfalfa. He harvested
his first crop about the first Of May for
feed for his cattle, and was now harvest
ing it for seed. He said that after the fall
rains began it would furnish excellent
pasturage till snow covered it. Ten years
ago he planted his first pasture, and has
been adding to it until now he has 100
acres No replanting. no trouble of any
kind. Mr.. Jacobs thinks there is nothing
eq ual to it for pasture and feed. He says
when it is cut fresh aud green it must be
fed sparingly for time, or stock will
bloat, and fatal results may follow. If
Mr.. Jacobs experience with this wonder
full grass is so satisfactory, why is it that
more o. the farmers do not raise il.

Mr. Jacobs. chief clerk OF the land Office
received kilograms last night from various
land Offices. indicating that at least 90. 900
boomers were registered at the various
booths yesterday. At Orlando 1890 wee
registered, at Arkansas City 1920 were
registered. Orders have been issued to
have the booths ut Arkansas City
and Orlando kept open night and day till
the opening, thus giving more people
chance to register as well as making
standing in the line for some of them more
comfortable. Mr.. jacobs is the busiest
man in Wichita, but he has the faculty Of
keeping cool under all kinds of pressure.
He answers from thirty to fifty kilograms
per day and sends supplies out in the very
shortest notice. In addition to this, all
the registers and receivers of the various
land Offices have been referred to him for
instructions Aud still farther, he is be-
sieged by every class of fellow for some
information relative to the opening.
Some of them ask him the most absurd
questions, but he answers them cour-
teously aud is agreeable on all occasions.

USE OF BEACH PEBBLES.

Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sand
shore of Lake Michigan nobody knows
how long are used as a commercial
commodity in Chicago. They eventual
" find themselves sticking in hot tar
and making the gravel part Of gravel
roofs; crushed under heavy rollers for
street pavemcnts; and packed away
solidly as the base of maidstone side
walks.
Tho most interesting operation
through which these bright-colored
bits go is the gathering. Men clad in
trousers rolled up to the knees, shirt
end straw hat, wade along the beach
where the water line makes the peb-
bles show clearly. IN their hands is q
sort of net and hoe combined. The hoo
part is an open iron frame with a thin
shoe where the edge of the blade would

TACKS IN THE ROAD.

that boomer who evidently does nos own
a fast horse bought pound Of carpet tacks
Mt that place few days ago and upon be-
ing asked what he wanted so many tacks
for his sole reply was "rll fix those bicycle
fellows" The supposition is that he
caused the tacks TO be strewn along
