WATER AS A MEDICINE,

The human body is constantly under
going tissue change. Worn out part
icles are cast aside and eliminated from
the system, while the new are ever be-
ing formed, from the inception of life
10 it's close. Water has the power OF
Increasing these tissue changes, which
multiply the waste products; but at
the same time they are renewed by its
agency, giving rise to increased APP
Petite. which in turn provides nutri-
ment.
Persons but little accustomed to
drink water are liable to have the
waste products formed faster than they
are removed Any obstruction to the
free working OF natural laws at once
produces disease, which, IL once firmly
seated, requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning weak and languid will find
the cause in the imperfect secretion OF
wastes, which many times may be rem
edied by drinking a tumblerful Of
water before retiring. This very ma
terially assists in the process during
the night, and leaves the tissue fresh
and strong, ready for the active work
OF the day.
II would be difficult to find the hui
man i'll for which hot water IL not a
panacea. For sprains, aches, head
aches, it is unrivalled. When woman
comes home tired and weary, the Pa
cific Health Journal recommends TAX
ing on the bodice and brushing the
hair up to the top of the head then
squeezing spongeful after spongeful
Of water, as hot as can be borne, on
the back OF the neck and base of the
brain. After five minutes of this the
face should be hathed with hot water
and rest of five minutes taken on the
bed or in an armchair. # possible, a
glass of warm milk or some gentle
stimulant like beef tea or sherry and
egg should be taken.

HUMAN HAIRS GROWTH,

Authorities 1iffcr as to the rate of
growth of the human hair, and it is
said to be very dissimilar in different
individuals. The most usually accepted
calculation gives six and half inches
per annum, A mans hair allowed to
grow TO its extreme length, rarely ex-
ceeds twelve or fourteen inches, while
that of n woman will grow in rare in
stances to seventy or seyenty-flye in
ehes, though the average does not ex-
oeed twenty i've or thirty inches.

arately. Horizontal dealing with tar
iifs cannot be justified in ordinary
times, but in such an exigency as now
exists. so serious that the president
felt it his duty to send a special mes
sage OF extreme urgency, and especial
ly for limited time, 1t is not only de-
feasible, but it is the only alternative.
But while we have presented in the
brief measure reported horizontal I'M
crease OF Is per cent. Of existing duties
on all the schedules but two, which is
an addition of less than per cent. TO
the average ad valorem rate, giving
about $15,00O,OO0 revenue from the
source; yet more than $4,000, 900 Of
the S4O,OO0,000 which it. is estimated
the bill would add to our annual rev.
enue, will come mainly from wool,
which is taken from the free list anG
given a moderate duty, and from man
ufactures of wool. which are given a
compensatory duty equivalent to the
duty on wool (which is always neces-
sary when duty is placed on wooD
in order to give the wool grower the
benefit, and make it possible to manu-
facture woolens at home.
The bill reported by your commit
tee proposes to make the duty on inn
ported clothing wool 6S per cent. OF
the duty imposed by the act of 1890,
which would give an equivalent of 6-10
per pound on unwashed wool, or about
40 per cent. ad valorem, This reduc-
ton from the duty of the act of 1890
has been because the restoration OF
the full duty in that act might seem to
be too great a change from the pres
ent law to those whose cooperation it
is necessary to secure in order to have
any legislation, and not as a measure
of what might be done when all
branches of the government are in
harmony with the majority of the
house on protection lines. The duty
an manufactures of wool is increased
by specific duty equivalent to the
duty on wool. The duty on carpet
warp is left at 32 per cent ad
valorem, where it was placed in 1890
This is purely revenue duty, as we
raise very few carpet woods.
such lumber as was placed on the
free list by the act of 1890 without the
slightest justification, is restored to
the dutiable list, but with duty OF
only go per cent. of the duties provid-
cd by the act of 1890 giving an
equivalent Of only about Is per cent.
Such a reduction from the low rates
of 1890 is justified only on the ground
that the object of your committee has
been to frame bill mainly on reve-
nue. grounds, in the hope that il
would secure the approval of those in
official places whose cooperation is
essential to legislation, and who may
be supposed to feel that in such an ex-
igency as now exists, the public neces-
sity must control.
Believing that such an increase OF
revenue as is proposed is essential
and the first step in the restoration OF
confidence and the restoration of the
treasury to a sound condition, and
that other legislation to be proposed
to this end cannot be effective without
adequate revenue to meet the expendi-
lures of the government, your COM
mittee recommends the passage of an
accompanying bill to temporarily in
crease revenue to meet the expenses OF
the government and provide against a
deficiency"

A NARROW ESCAPE.
TWO SKATERS PRECIPITATED
INTO LAKE MENDOZA.

Madison, December ".

Madison, December 81
Two young people all but met a wa
terry grave in Lake Mendoza Thursday
afternoon. They were Miss Maud
Stephens, daughter of David Stephens,
living just beyond the city limits on
the Sank road, and the eldest son Of
Jabez b. Smith, of the firm of Rich
mond & Smith Scores Of young peo-
pie went skating on Mendoza Thurs
day afternoon, the recent colo snap
following the late rain having made
an excellent expanse of ice as smooth
and glossy as mirror. The two
young people in question were gliding
merrily along entirely oblivious OF
danger when they arrived at point
where the ice was too thin to support
two persons. The ice cracked omin-
ously for a second and then gave away
preeipitating the young man and lady
into the cold water. The next in
slant cry of distress went up and
luckily Warren Hawley, son of r. w.
Hawley. the State street grocer, was
near at hand, else Miss Stephens
might not have survived the accident.
Young Hawley heroically went to their
assistance, and creeping to the edge
OF the ice, supported Miss Stephens
until some men rigging an icehoat on
the shore. 10 rods away, came running
to the rescue.
Hundreds OF skaters enjoyed them
selves on Lake Mendoza Thursday az
ternoon and evening The ice Is like
polished marble and pretty girls
abound. Ii there is any element lack
ing for an enjoyable time it is not
known.
