"What is his nams?" naturally
imputed Secretary Carlisle.
Senator Cullom began to search
his pockets. "Ah-yes-hem," he
began, hes.atingIy, diving into his
clothes in vain for the memorandum
that had evidently been mislaid.
"Ah-yes-hem- is a good Dem.

And so Senator Cullom bowed

has not yet discovered VINO is the
Democrat Senator Cullom came to
endorse.

Washing the Hands.

Washing the hands in water to which
ammonia has been added is very COM
mon recommendation. This would be
well enough, perhaps, if the supplement
tary processes were correctly given, but
the direction is simply for putting lit
tie of this substance into the water in
which the hands are washed. Somebody
follows these directions and finds the
hands rough and disagreeable almost be-
yond endurance. Some day the victim
of this foolish practice makes up her
mind that maybe ammonia doesn't agree
with her and forthwith discontinues its
use.
The fact is that ammonia is absolutely
unfit for the toilet unless it's effects are
carefully removed by some suitable
agent. 1t is strongly alkaline and de-
stroys the natural oil on and near the
surface of the skin, leaving it rough,
crackly and with decided tendency to
chap and wrinkle. After the use of soap
of any sort or any alkaline preparation
the hands should be thoroughly washed
in clean water and rubbed with some
soothing compound, such as glycerin
and rosewater, bit of diluted honey,
almond oil or some like substance. This
restores the softness of the skin and pre-
vents chapping Housekeeping.

A BalakIava Warrior.

There has recently died in London, il
the person of Trumpet Major Henry Joy
late of the Seventeenth Lancers, another
of the small band of heroes who took
part in the famous Balaklava charge and
afterward lived to tell the tale. To Joy
belonged the honor of sounding the or.
der for the heroic charge. He entered
the army on May 10, 1888, joining the
Seventeenth Lancers as a boy in the
band, serving in the same regiment 2S
years. He was appointed trumpet major
on Sept. %, 1S47, and was present at the
head of the band at the funeral of the
Iron Duke.
On the outbreak of the Crimean war
he sailed with the regiment for the Black
sea and was present at the battles of the
Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sevasto-
pool. He received a testimonial from
General the Earl of Lucan, commanding
the cavalry brigades in the Crimea, in
which it states that Trumpet Major Joy
was his trumpeter on the day of Bala-
klava. In a letter from Sir George Womb
well (who was present at Balaklava),
written only few days ago, occurs the
words, Il heard him Joy sound the
order for the Balaklava charge" joys
bugle is in possession of his family at
the present time. At Balaklava he had
two horses shot under him and came

The Pioneers.

So much has been heard of Mary
Wollstonecraft as herald of woman's
equality that most people have forgotten
the name of Mary Astell, a contempt
rary of Defoe's, who lived hundred
years before Mary Wollstonecraft, and
who was the first woman who pleaded
for "woman's equality of education and
social position" If it were a daring
thing to do in the eighteenth century, it
was surely much more daring thing to
do in the seventeenth, and, though Mary
Astell may be said to have "hedged" a
little under the wrath of her contem-
poraries, yet to her is the credit of hav-
ing been the first to urge the necessity
of giving woman the benefits of thor
ough education. Other pioneers there
have been at later date who have suf-
fered SANDER and persecution in the
woman's cause, and whose work has
been ignored and set aside by the more
noisy crowd who now enjoy the benefits
which the pioneers sufferings purchased.

The Syringe and the Pipe.

From western point of view there il
one great drawback to opium smoking
it takes too much time. Western hurry
seems, however, to be gradually per.
meating even the vices of the east, and
now the morphine syringe rivals the OPT
um pipe, if we may believe report
which reaches us from Hong Kong. The
practice has been known for some time
in Shanghai, and some six months ago it
was brought to Hong Kong, where there
are now some 20 houses in which a regu-
lar trade in it is openly carried on. Each
house has on an average 30 clients, who
call in the morning and the evening and
take their doze.
An injection is much cheaper than a
smoke, and primarily, no doubt, that is
the reason of its rapid popularity. Curl
ously enough, the pretense is that it is
used as cure for the vice of opium smok-
ing, to which, however, it would seem to
have about the same relation as whisky
bar has to a beer saloon. The immedi-
ate happiness of an injection, which can
be had without the loss of time, the pub
lie exposure or the loathsome assOcia-
tions of the opium den, is a far more dan
gerous temptation than the more slowly
acting and more expensive pipe. Truly

Flowers and Singing.

Concerning a paragraph published on
the alleged weakening influences of flow
ers, especially violets, upon the voices of
singers, a correspondent writes that an
evidence in favor of the assertion was
had at a matinee in New York of the
opera season. A very large and beauti-
full bunch of violets was handed to Nor
dica, who, with scant ceremony, thrust
them instantly away from her, holding
them behind her as she backed of the
stage and reappearing to bow again with
out them. The incident was sufficiently
marked to attract the notice of at least
one person and attests the assertion that

THE GOLD QUESTION.
lerhaps to BE Solved by the Timely Defeat
of King Lobengula.

of King Lobengula.
The following communication, bearing
Washington date, appeared in recen
issue of the New York Sun: 1t is Gu
rious that the newspapers of today which
announce the destruction of silver should
also announce the collapse of the Malta
belle king of d country larger than the
Dakotas. In each instance the British
auri sacra flames will be held responsible
by the critical or perhaps hypercritical
chronicler of events.
l have always ventured to profess q
faith in the infallibility of the Anglo.
Saxon races. In this country believe
that the nation is swinging with a We
locity perhaps dangerous toward the
freedom of silver, and that seems to be
the view of the triumphant repealers
here today, where the losers are more
elated than the winners.
But in Africa, England is today an
ticipating such production of gold as
will bring back the traditions of Cali
fornia and Ballarat, and the victory of
a mere joint stock company over the
forces of Lobengula may now be fol-
lowed by results not less remarkable
than those which in 1649 followed poor
Marshall's discovery of gold nugget in
the dam at Suffers mill in California.
Until month ago the only laborers
in Mashonaland, the various Mashona
tribes, were harried by the Matabeles
whenever this fighting horde required a
further supply of wives. The male Ma
shonas were killed or carried off from
the very old dumps of the gold mines of
Hartly hill, of Marco or Fort Victoria.
Now Lobengula and his routed "impis"
are in retreat to northward of the Fam
best. He will be there in the same posi-
ton that was occupied by Sitting Bull
and the Sioux after your catastrophe on
the Little Horn in 1876, when that
mightier Lobengula had retired into the
British northwest.
Today the gold developments in Africa
are of extraordinary interest. The Randi
gold camp at Johannesburg, which dates
back only to 1887 and produced but
monthly average of 10000 ounces in
1888, shows the following developments:
Monthly Average.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1894-03-30

The production of August, if merely
sustained, puts this single camp in ad-
vance of the gold production of the en-
tire United States. The estimated prob
abilities of gold mines must be taken
with considerable limitations, but those
who know King Lobengula's territories
and who have visited the various gold
camps in Mashonaland during the past
IL months believe that three or more of
these camps may prove not less produc-
tive than Johannesburg, and this in a eli
mate that is admirably suited to the
white race. The geological conditions,
quartz on the contact of granite and
slate, are very favorable to continued
production. And now that the black
tyrant has disappeared, your skilled
miners, who have been deprived by your
legislation of field for their energies,
may do worse, perhaps, than seek anoth-
er citizenship in the far south under the
protection of the Union Jack. -Moreton
