Considering what a useful hing a
chamois skin is, it Is astonishing tibet
there is so much ignorance as to the
proper way Of keeping it in order and
lengtheningi it's term of service. Cham
oils skin should never be left in water
after being used, but should be wrung
out and hung up to dry, being spread
out carefully, SO as to leave no wrin
kles. They should not be used to
wipe off c%olors, as paint stains form
hard spots, and it makes the skin wear
out sooner
Chamois was never intended to wipe
the face and hands with, which makes
the skin become greasy. Never put a
channels skin into warm Eater any
thing above lukewarm water will curl
it up, making it become thick, tough
and useless. To bring back chamois
that has been ruined by grease or
paint, or used as q towel until it re-
sembles a dirty old rag, the following
is recommended: Take a bucket OF
clean water which has been made fair"
1y but not too strong with ammonia;
soak the skin in it over night, and next
morning rinse it out in pure water,
after which use pure white CASTLE
soap and water fres1y. The whole OPP
GRAFTON, aside from the soaking, need
take no longer than a quarter of an
hour, and il makes the skin in reality
better than it was before, having freed
it from impurities. New York Mer-

lished SIX columns in q recent issue in
which were enumerated the emolu-
ments and honors conferred on the

Reports received at the War Depart

Reports received at the War Depart
ment of recent small-arms competi-
tions among the troops in the Far
West show conclusively, relates the
Washington Star, that the noble red
man as represented in Uncle Sans
military service does not compare
very favorably with his pale.face
brother in the matter of sharpshoot-
ing. There is a popular idea, gained
from Cooper's Leather Stocking Tales
and even more modern literature
about the 'dusky denizens Of the for
est" that all warriors are superior
marksmen. Army statistics prove that
this is a romantic delusion, 80 far as
the Indian soldier is concerned.

And slipped out through the west,
Where rosy, misty forms beguiling
Besought her for their guest:

'Our golden portals wide are swinging
For thee alone, for thee.
And wistful voices clear are ringing
Across the darkling sea,
In eager welcoming to thee"
Aloft her silver censor holding,
The star-eyed Night drew close,
Her mantle round the hushed earth folding,
More sweetly breathed the rose,
As Night with tender tears drew close.
Her dusky sandals softly cleaning
With wandering threads of gold,
Broidered by vagrant ~irefies, seeming
Beneath each wing to hold
A fairy spinning threads of gold.
With silent football, weaving slowly
A mystic, slumb' rous spell,
She came and something sweet and holy
The weary earth befeli
When woven In the slumb'rous spell.

The Manufacturers Record has pub

that the enforced economy of the last

President Hayes.
From the Boston Sunday Herald

From the Boston sunday Herald
President Hayes was not only man of
good ability and good purposes, but he
was one whose service to his country was
highly valuable and important. His cred
liable record on the field of battle might
alone have protected him from the slurs
which il has been too often his fortune to
to encounter He was one of the bravest
and best of the officers of the Union army.
1t was no accident after this that made
him a member of Congress, governor of his
state and president of the United States
1t was the tribute of those who knew him
best to his worth and his capacity for
public service. As president he incurred
the dislike of one party because he took
an Office to which they thought he was not
fairly elected. There was no man in it.,
public or private, who would not have
taken that office under the same circum-
stances. President Hayes would have
been false to his own party had he declin-
ed il, and ii came to him with the acqui-
escence of the majority of the men of both
parties who had right to declare who was
president. He was hated by class of
Republican partsaus after he took The pres
idency because he had the patriotism and
the craftsmanship. under the peculiar con
ditions OF his election, to act as the presi-
dent Of the whole people rather than the
president of a party As regards his ad-
ministration of the government. there is
no blot upon it in any respect in its larger
action, and minor matters will be over
looked by posterity in the view of the great
good that resulted to the country. There
were never clearer achievements of true
craftsmanship than were attained under

The gold balance in the United States
treasury Jan. 81, was $65 100000, the loss
during the January having been SIS, ,00O,-
600. The Feb. statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures shows in
round figures that the expenditures for the
first seven months of the current fiscal year
exceeded the receipts by $4,000, 600.
These figures, if the ratio is carried through
the entire fiscal year, would make the de-
ficit for the year $50, 100000.
The Brandon Union is no more and the
Brandon Chronicle has arisen from its
ashes. The Chronicle is an eight-page
paper, all home print, and in appearance is
one of the handsomest papers in Vermont.
1t announces that it will be independent
in politics, and contains good assortment
of local and miscellaneous matter. The
Chronicle has set standard at the start,
which, if maintained will make it one of
the most valuable of the Vermont weeklies.

When it was decided last week to at
tach the internal revenue features to the
bill, including the odious income tax, it
was believed by some Democrats that this
would imperil the passage of the measure,
but the party pressure was too strong.
The Wilson bill now goes to the Senate,
where its final passage is expected, but
where it is sure to be largely amended.
