The COurtesies of Life.

1t is not much for woman to say
'thank you" when man gives up his
place to her IN street car, but it
sends pleasant glow ali through the
one who proffers her the seat and
makes him forget how much nicer it
was to sit quietly and read the even
ing paper instead Of having to con-
tinually 'nove up a little, Eplease,"
and get desultOry glimpses of an in
teresting article owing.to the swaying
and jolting Of the car over the snowy
tracks. It isn't much for man to
remove his hat in an elevator if there
is woman passenger therein, but it
signifies respect for the entire sex
that is very gratifying to the bit Of
femininlty on board. The pleasant
'excuse me-" or II beg your pardon"
smooths ovsi many bit of awkward
ness that would rankle much longer
il passed by unheeded and unnoticed.
The "Soft answer that turneth away
wrath" can be adapted to all of the
everyday haps and mishaps that beset
our path. and though some brusque
old togy may laugh at the little acts
of courtesy, calling them foreign
tomfoolery, he will be none the less
influenced by them when they are
exercised in his behalf Makeit your
firm resolve to never let an oppor-
tunity escape when little polite &C
tion on your part may smooth over a
difficulty or help in some trying mo.
ment, and life will soon look brighter
and happier through the influence of
little courtesies that are not as trivial
as they seem

Russia and Her Wolves.

What is known in Russia. writes
our Odessa correspondent, as the wolf
season commences with the early au-
tumn and continues until late in the
spring. The last year for which sta
tistics Of the depredations committed
by the wolves are given are sutf1-
cienuly remarkable In one year
alone, according to the data carefully
collected by provincial Governors, the
total loss of domestic ANIMALS by
wolves amounted to 800, 600 head,
valued at 5000, 600 rubies, which is
about equal to one years wolf tax
revenue. AS an evidence that the
number of wolves does not appreci-
ately decrease, the Government of
Olonetz is cited, where wolves and
bears destroyed in 1875, 6,785 head;
in 1880. 5, 322; in 1885, 5,156. and in
1889, 5, 600. In none of the above
mentioned Governments does the
number CT wolves annually destroyed
average more than 100, and these are
generally the younger animals not
yet trained to the crafty tactics of the
older wolves and pack leaders.

How to lave Pretty Hands.

A lady should have beautiful white
hands and no mistake. If the skin
be naturally white very little care is
required to preserve it. A good soap.
aided by pinch or two Of cracked oat-
meal may be used for a thorough
cleansing twice day, and if needful
to still further cleanse them, warm
water-not hot-will do the necessary
work. Once week they should be
rubbed front and back, between the
fingers and all, with slice of lemon.
II these exquisitely white hands are
inclined to chap, camphor ice may be
applied at night and white gloves
worn to increase the softening effect.
The best camphor ice Is homemade
preparation Of pure white wax melted
and stirred to the consistency of
cream, with the addition of several
drops Of camphor. Holes should al.
ways be cut in the palms of the gloves
to allow ventilation. For distress
ingly red hands equal parts of glycer-
ine, lemon juice, and rose water may
lie applied nightly under gloves.
Daily applications Of lemon juice are
sure to produce whitening effect.
Tight sleeves and snugly fitting finger
rings are frequent source Of red
hands, and the only remedy for this
is to remove the irritating cause.
Smooth, white hands may be difficult
to acquire, but they are certainly
within the reach of all who care for
them sufficiently to make the effort
required to secure them.

The truth of this must be evident when you

where the latest and best methods are invari-

the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.

comfort. The letter says: "The situation
of Professor j. c. PeltoD demands mme-
date action. His services to the State in
behalf of the common schools commenced
with 1S49 and continued for many years.
lie may be justly regarded as the first
promoter and in q true sense the founder
of our public schools. and in the work OF
education he sacrificed his time and his
property. His mis- fortunes have not been
paraded by himself. but now in his old
age he is without means and incapacltated
for business.
For his book, "Sunbeams and Shadows"
he has acted as his own canvaSser and
labored to obtain a livelihood for himself
aud family until his strength is exhausted.
Local publishers and others have gener-
ously undertaken the work Of promoting
the sale OF the book, but this source Of
revenue is insufficient 10 meet the emer-
gency. In view of the fact that many Of
his former pupils now occupy command
ing positions in the State. we respectfully
suggest thai meeting be held TO devise a
method OF afford ne him permanent relief.
