How to Manicure Finger Nails.

White hands are everywhere considered
a distinctive mark of refinement, size be-
ing matter of less moment than shape
and color. Filbert nails, showing the half
moon at the base, nails nicely trimmed
and polished free from growth of skin, al
ways scrupulously clean and delivered from
those aggravating little loose bits known
as "tormentors" and "stepmother' bless
ings, are essential to every one aspiring
to refinement.
It has been said that "if you want to
know a woman's birth you should look at
her nails and her linen, and that the
most unpromising hands may be wonder

ment Is n commonplace Pickpockets
whose liberty depends on their delicacy of
touch, when they come out of prison after
spell Of hard labor, their fingers callous
and rough from picking oakum, are de-
clared to use hot poultices of bread and
water for several night In succession. Aft
or this little more Is needed to restore their
hands to their former condition.
Once on a time the care of the hands
was matter of individual concern, but of
late years the professional manicure has
become established among us, and most
women who wish their digits kept in good
order invoke her services from time TO
time To those who have neglected their
hands or have spoiled them by rowing,
tennis or unavoidable hard work the mani
cure is absolutely essential until the hands
under her care attain their proper aspect,
when a visit from time TO time, aided by
private attention, will maintain them in
good condition.
Some women prefer doing their own
manicuring In that case a few words on
the subject will not come amiss Light

A STATEMENT has been current in
certain newspapers that the presi-
dental electors of the several states
met at their respective state capitals
on the first "Wednesday of Decem-
Der and cast their votes for president
and vice president. Such is not the
case, however. They will not meet
until the second Monday in January

date will it be officially known who
are elected as successors to Grover
Cleveland and-let's see, who is the
other man? Oh, yes! Stevenson,

Where Mirrors Help.

In room that has so few doors and win
dows as to give shut in appearance
where it Is desirable that the effect shall
be one of space and openness, mirrors hung
opposite the openings that already exist
will often remedy the defect. For instance,
a very narrow hall may be made to seem
without limit IL on the wall opposite a
wide doorway long and wide mirror In
q narrow frame be placed.

Table Spreads.

Borders of table spreads for handsome
drawing rooms sometimes have a large
floral or conventional pattern outlined
with lace braids, with jewels and spangles
added to make them brilliant. A white
satin spread with the applied braids of
cream white and the jewels in soft shades
of pink or blue, with touches Of gold
thread, was quite In harmony with the del
icate elegance of the room where it was

tty of torrent The effect Is electrical
Grave men and dignifed women seem to
lose all control of their emotions. Hal
leluiahs are heard from all parts of the
hall and the scene resembles the excited
accompaniment to some pagan ceremony.
When the paroxysm has reached it's
height, this strange woman checks the flow
of her words, her voice drops to its former
rhythmical cadence, and her hearers sink
back into their places TO wonder at the
strange power by which they had been SO
oddly affected.
Overriding all race prejudice by the ex-
ercise of her marvellous gifts, this woman
labors among all classes and conditions of
men. Her name is as well known in the
lowliest of London slums as it is in the
fashionable churches of the exclusive west
end.
In her personal appearance there is moth
ing about Amanda Smith which in any
way distinguishes her from any ordinary
woman of her race who has conquered ad-
verse circumstances and risen above her
early surroundings. That peculiar faculty
common to many negro preachers and
known throughout the south as the "ex-
horters strength" Is developed in her to
an extraordinary degree, and this, added
to the inexplicable force which has been
described, gives her the power over her au-
diences that is making her meetings here
so popular.
In spite of her color she has never failed
to secure success in any church in which
she has spoken. Her work among the peo-
pie of Africa long ago won her high place
among the foremost evangelical workers
of the time The fearlessness which
prompted her to stand even before bands
of heather savages in the wilds Of Africa
while spreading among men the tenets of
her faith sustained her In her work among
the vicious and lawless inhabitants of the
slums. New York Recorder.

The "Blues."

Have you ever been blue9 Have you
ever experienced the time when the whole
world seemed dark, when you felt that
there was not friend left to you, when
you cogitated on all sorts Of desperate deeds
and foolish acts, when you scowled upon
the world, considering that IL had used
you unfairly Have you paused upon
crowded street corners in doubt which
way TO turn because every route seemed
equally unfortunate9 Have you grown
jealous, morose, III tempered, unkind2

for cake and try it. Search through your

FREE RAW MATERIALS"

When Touched by Labor, They Become
Somebody's Finished Product.
Free raw materials was the only
attempt at consistency made by the
trainers Of the Wilson bill That was
the one clear idea which stood out from
the chaos of their ignorance, incompe-
tency and inconsistency, their sectional
discrimination and individual favorit.
ism, and that one clear idea was the
product of the imagination aud not of
reason.
One of the first lessons taught by
books OH political economy is that raw
materials consist of natural products,
produced without mans labor and un-
touched by him, such as ore lying still
In the mines and the wood of the trunks
of uncut trees. The moment ore is
taken out of the mine or the tree is cut
down they cease TO be raw materials,
for mans labor has been applied to
them
We cannot import the coal lying in
the hills of Nova Scotia. When it is
mined, 1T Is no longer raw material. 1t
is not raw material to the miner. though
it is raw material to the manufacturer.
Hay is not raw material to the farmer
who grows it, though it is raw materi-
al to the stock raiser.
By raw materials" then, the tariff
reformers of the Wilson Cleveland -Bry-
an stripe mean certain products into
which has entered the labor Of certain
classes Of workmen, and their policy Of
free raw materials" is only q ramifica.
tion of the general system Of favoritism
which controls their entire tariff policy.
A system of favoritism is as bad in
practical results as it is in morality and
is standing menace to all classes Of
producers.
Let every one who imagines that
free raw MATERIAL" so called, is q
benefit to him remember two facts The
first is that system of favoritism is a
very uncertain thing to bank on. His
own turn may come next, when he will
be sacrificed to greater favorite; the
second is that the men whose labor en-
ters into the product which is raw ma
terial to him. and who are thrown out
of work by the putting of that product
on the free list, are the men to whom
he looks for the sale Of his manufactures.

The Senate in Executive Session Re-
fuses to Raiify the Arbitration
Treaty With Great Britain.

Washington. May 5.-The Senate to-
dav by a vote of 49 to 26 refused TO
ratify the general arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain
negotiated by Secretary olney and Sir
Julian Pauncefote. The rules Of the
Senate require a majority OF two-thirds
for the ratification of treaties. Hence
four more affirmative votes would have
been required to secure a favorable re-
suit.
Senator Davis. chairman Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, declined to
express an opinion for publication but
talked freely with his friends. To them
he attributed the defeat to the feeling
of dissatisfaction at EngIand's course in
the struggle Of the Greeks to liberate
the island of Crete from Ottoman domin-
ion and in the Armenian masSacres and
with the evident designs OF
Great Britain upon the Transvaal. AT
the conclusion of the proceedings, all OF
which were in executive session, the
Senate refused to authorize the publ
cation of the details.
The open session Of the Senate to-day
was devoted to the Sundry civil appro-
priation bill, which was not completed
up to the time of adjournment
