gents are now most active. That part
of the island was also the scene Of the
revolution Of 1868.
Among the incidents of that insurrec-
ton was the burning Of the buildings OF
a large sugar estate and a gear-wheel
and a fly-wheel were left upon the
ground where the factory stood.
These pieces of machinery have not
been disturbed during the 25 years that
have elapsed since the fire, and mean

tween the spokes Of the gear-wheel, and
has reached the large proportions
shown in the accompanying picture. 1t

Air and Food.

We should exercise even more care
as to what we breathe than what we

mankind shut out fresh air as though
it were poisonous and breathe that

though it were healthy and necessary to
life.

Secretary Hinrichsen's Report.

The annual report of Hon. William
IL. Hinrichsen, secretary of state, is

prepared by any state official
in the state of Illinois, and
goes into each subject and depart
ment in minutest detail. The work
ings of the different departments I'M
der the secretary are given at length.
work shown. together with compar-
isons of former secretaries.
Being the custodian of the state
house, the secretary of state. as an
exchange well says, probably has
more burdens than all the balance
placed together. Heating. lighting,
lures. and q thousand minor details
are daily laid before Mr.. Hinrichsen.
The recommendations contained in
the report, if carried out. would place
the management of the state capitol
building in a position equaled by
none on the face of the globe. Mr..
Hinrichsen's ideas are up to date and
include self-ownership of light. heat
and power for the big rock building.
In selecting his clerical force, Mr..
Hinrichsen has chosen a set of clerks
that have gotten out more work in
less time than was ever witnessed in
any state house west OF the Alleghe-
MES. The trust department alone
showed how well did the secretary
understand his business in the able
manner in which he managed to have
close connection with many thousand
corporations in the state of Illinois.
and he received some kind of re-
port from every one of them. All
the work has been carried out under
the special management of MIR. Hin
richsen himself; he personally sees
that all work is done and done right

To Whiten the Hands.

Coarse and red hands may be whiten-
ed by using few grains Of chloride of
lime added to warm soft water for
washing All rings and bracelets must
be removed before this is used, as the
chloride of lime will tarnish them. A
soap containing this ingredient may be
prepared as follows: White powdered
CASTLE soap, 1 pound; dry chloride of
lime, = to 2 ounces. Mix and beat
this up in a mortar to Il soft mass with
a sufficient quantity Of rectified spirit.
Divide the mass into tablets and wrap
it up in oil silk. 1t may be scented by
adding to the mixture couple of drains
of oil of verbena. In using chloride of
lime it is very important to be careful
to avoid getting any of the powder into
the eyes, as it is exceedingly irritating
and may even cause blindness. -Popu.

Iy Limited Even For His Day.
One Of orr correspondents has been so
lucky as to fall in with a little leather
covered book, like those of bank deposit
ors, which contains Daniel Webster's
autograph record Of his legal receipts
This chronicle fills 2s pages and extends
a little more than from 1888 to 1856 in
elusive. The first entry, dated Septem-
Der in the former year, is Of $50, and
the second Of $40, for retaining on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee of
81. 600 was paid in May, 1884, by a Mr..
Badger. Services regarding Cilley's will
commanded $500. The total amount for
the first year was footed up as S13, 40,
with the remark, Sept. -, 1884, thus
done and concluded"
a similar summing up appears at the
close Of each other year. The second
total is SIS, 1874; the third is S21, :
793. The first entry of 50. coo was in
1885, March Z; the first of 50, coo Dec
in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single honorarium was So, 500.
In February Of the fourth year So, coo is
set down as bestowed in case of Trinity
church, New York
In turning over this record leading
metropolitan and even provincial law
yers are astonished that Webster, al
though 90 years in Boston, SO under

at last. When Robert C. Winthrop
looked at the earliest date, he said,

1t wassoon after this, when Napoleon,

silencing all that was best in France,
confirming his throne by bribery, COR
ruption, imprisonment, Punishment and
wholesale murder-it was at such q
moment, this adventurer having got
himself accepted by the courts of Europe
as the ruler of the French, that Victor

phetic words:
'Let us not slay this man. Let Us
keep him alive. A superb punishment!
Oh, if one day he might pass along the
