For Brittle Finger Nails.

London Star: Many women with
pretty hands are constantly annoyed
by the rough appearance of their fin
ger nails, caused by the fact that they
break and split
The possessor of such nails should
cut them with we'll sharpened manicure
scissors, but the nails should never be
cut or filed unless the fingers have first
been soaked in warm water. The brit
tleness may sometimes be lessened by
rubbing almond oil thoroughly into the
nails and finger ends on retiring at
night, and drawing a pair of old gloves
over them.
The housekeeper whose nails break
easily should never stir anything on
the hot range, without first slipping
on a loose glove, as the dry heat from
the fire will make her nails more brit
tie than ever
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in
cupful of tepid water whitens the nails
and removes all grease and dirt, max
ing them more easy to polish. This
should be used every morning, and by
dabbling the fingers in it for few
moments it is possible to make tho
nails perfectly clean and transparent
without the use of any metal cleaner
by simply rubbing under them with
towel II is also beneficial in remov-
ing the skin around the nail edges,
which should never be cut with scis-
sors.

Judge Cherry was up yesterday and
heard the petition of Joseph Larson
for habeas corpus. The decision was
an important one as it affects the
rights of defendants in criminal cases
TO have their cases heard without ex-
pense of court costs until they are con-
victed
Joseph Larson was convicted over
a year ago in the police court of the
crime Of indecent exposure and SEN
fenced to pay fine of $50 and serve
80 days in jail. He took an appeal and
got out on bonds. The clerk refused to
docket the appeal until the costs were
paid and Larson refused to pay them.
The matter hung thus for about year
when finally Judge Rolapp remanded
him back to jail TO serve his sentence.
Larson had served % days up to
yesterday, when the petition for habeas
corpus was heard. His attorneys,
Lessenger & O'Brien, argued that he
lad been denied the right of trial and
urged that this was viola ton of Sec
ton II of the bill of rights in the state
constitution.
Judge Cherry took this view of the
matter and remanded the defendant
to the district court for trial, his old
bond being continued. The decision,
unless it shall be overruled by the
supreme court, guarantees the right of
a defendant in a criminal action 10
have trials in all courts UP to the
court of last resort without advancing
money for fees, providing he has a
suitable cost bond filed. The state
may take the question to the supreme
court.

The recent filling up of the canal at
Oklahoma City where it passes through
the southern part of the town, is the
end of what once promised in 1880 TO be
the most remuneratiye enterprise in
Oklahoma. Public spirited capitalists
believed that the waters of the rapidly
flowing North Canadian river could be
used to operate all the mills that could
be placed on its banks at Oklahoma
City. Engineers were employed to
I make a survey, and it was found that
canal five miles long could be made
to carry the water that ran a distance
of 20 miles by sinuous course of the
river. The fall at Oklahoma City was
nearly 80 feet, enough, it was believed
to develop 1000 horse power. Over $40,-
600 was expended in constructing the
canal. It was diked part of the way.
and the river was crossed twice. The
canal was % feet wide and four feet
deep. It's completion was an occasion
of Importance in Oklahoma City. Four
inches of water were left in at the
headgate and the electric 5ght plant
and a large Touring mill were run as
if by magic.
An unsuspecting enemy, small in
SIZE but prodigious in industry, soon
overwhelmed the enterprise in disaster.
The banks of the canal were porous,
sandy soil. Gophers attacked the dixie.
A hole no larger than a mans wrist
burrowed by these animals widened to
a cTevasse in a half hour and the
water easily swept away the sandy
bikes. The repairs were constant and
costly. The promoters grew discour-
aged, the financial panic swept over
the country and it was not long until
the canal was a wreck, it's fioodgates
gone and the masonry piles of debris
Farmers began blowing up the right of
way and the canal was soon obliterated
in many places.

Honors For Jews at the Universities.

Jewish Chrsnicle: Jewish under
graduates at Oxford and Cambridge
have been doing extremely we'll in re-
cent examinations. At Oxford Mr. b.
P. Moore has gained the Hartford
scholarship, and Mr.. M. Simon has
gained a first class in the School of
Oriental Studies, while at Cambridge
Mr.. H. NJ. Adler and Mr.. H. NJ. Weiner
have been placed in the first class of
the first part of the Classical Tripos
Miss H. F. Cohen has been placed in
the second class of the same Tripos,
and Mr.. L. D. Barnett has been elected
to the Craven StudentShip. Mr.. Moores
success is especially noteworthy, since
the Hartford scholarship is open to all
members of the university of not more
than two years standing, and has
never before been gained by a Jew,
though within the last decide a Jew
has twice been reported by the ex-
aminerS as Droxime accessit. Mr.. ST.
mons success is equally noteworthy,
since that gentleman has already
gained a first class in classical modera-
tons and a first class in the final
school of Litterae humaniores. To
gain the highest possible distinctions
in schools so diverse as the classical
and the oriental is indeed an honorable
achievement. There is a common be-
lief that Jewish. students naturally
take to mathematics or natural science.
In England. however. the majority Of
Jews who go UP to Oxford and Cam
bridge study classics. The cause is,
of course, that most of them come from
public schools, in which the classical
side is still by far the most important,
and in which it will continue TO be the
most important so long as the Oxford
and Cambridge colleges follow their
present practice of alloting more schol-
arships to classics than to any other
subject

A Faithful Fire Horse.

ST. Louis lobe-Democrat: Billy is a
pensioner, and is the only one that the
corporation of Muskeson maintains at
the expense of the public, says the De-
troit Journal. The city is in extreme
indigence and the administrators of
the municipalities funds are bordering
over grave financial problems and seek
ing in every possible way 10 alleviate
the distress of the overburdened tax
payer. Yet, in the face of all this adj
versity, Billy, the pensioner, daily re-
ceives his rations, and no one grumbles
or things of grumbling.
Billy is small gray horse, who has
won his laurels in the city fire depart
ment, where he has served for 20 long
years as faithfully and honorable as
any horse could. He became a fire
horse in the year 1876, and was years
of age when he was enrolled. He has
now been q year on retirement which
makes his present age approximately
q years.
Billy has seen some big fires. He
saw the great conflagration which oc-
Cured in the latter part of the 70s, that
left the banks OF Muskegon lake almost
destitute Of any trace of civilization.
Billy raced and praced TO the great
fire which swept up Pine street in the
early part of the decade and left hun
dreds of people homeless and destitute.
Billy mas Deen TO nunQreQS or nreS, big
and little, and has unenviably earned
security and comfort for the remainder
of his old age. He reported for duty
for the last time on Jan. 6 of this year,
when his stiffened limbs helped to
carry the cart to an alarm coming
from Lakeside, and three miles distant
from the barn. Since then he has had
a life of comparative ease, and, having
been given the freedom of the city, he
ambles leisurely about the streets, ven
Grated by all who see him. He lives
at barn No. 4. where he reports three
times a day for his meals. Billy still
has membranes of the activity and
excitement of the past, for when the
great bell in the city hall tower sounds
a fire alarm he pricks up his ears, and,
with as much alertness as his senility
will admit, he scrambles back to the
barn, where, with an apparent air of
disappointment, he views the younger
and more spirited horses who have
taken his place dash past the spring
doors into the harness and out into
the street with a heller SHELTER, remin-
iscent of his more useful days Billy
is gentle and kind, and is friend of
everybody. He is much loved by the
fire ladies, who make a great pet of
him. He enjoys a frolic and goes
through many laughable antics which
the boys have taught him. Billy is both
well known and popular, and there is
not much fear that the city pension
commissioner will ever reduce or dis
continue his allowance

Idaho.

Boise Statesman: Surveyor General
Srtaughaun has received a map from
the department showing the boundaries
reservations in this state. These re-
servations were set aside by executive
order dated Feb %, 1897 The Bit
ter Root reserve is the second largest
in the United States, the only one of
greater extent being in the cascades.
The southern limit of it is the Salmon
river; the western line the range line
between townships and 6 east; the
. northern line. the seventh standard
parallel north. This latter line makes
an offset some distance eastward
toward the north, taking in a few more
miles of territory than if it continued
straight. The eastern line is in Mon
tana; it is laid so that all the Bitter
Root range is thrown in the reserve.
At the southeast corner the boundary
is irregular. Gibsonville is out of the
reserve and Shoup within its bounda-
ries.
The mining camps of Elk City. Divide
and Buffalo Hump are in the reserve
while the reserve corners just at Pierce
City. Under the original order pros
pecting would have been unlawful
within the reserve after March 1, 1898,
at which time all having claims would
have been obliged to have them in
shape 10 begin proceedings for patent.
But congress modified this feature of
the order, providing that prospecting
may always be carried on within the
reserves and that miners may acquire
the same rights there as on other por-
tons of the public domain. Land may
also be taken up for agricultural pur
poses; but the government will exercise
complete supervision over the timber
with the view of preserving the forests.
Patrols will be established to see that
the law is observed.
The first block of street paving was
laid at Boise Tuesday morning, and the
event was celebrated with appropriate
ceremonies.
HALEY Times: The close season for
birds expired Saturday, and early
yesterday about everybody living here
that could use a gun was out in the
hills. By o'clock in the afternoon the
hunters began to return and they kept
coming until after dark. All returned
with all the birds they could carry or
cared for. Some who went out in
wagons brought back 100 or more; those
on horseback returned with a dozen or
two each.

came to conclusion by Compton's

head end collision, and Lefiang's bull
was thrown about Is feet distant and

Women In kansas.

William Allen White in the August
Atlantic: Yet it is said that Kansas
is governed by petticoats, says William
Allen White in the August Atlantic.
II by this it be meant that women
shape the public sentiment of the Kan
sas town, the saying is true. In most
towns in other states, the corners of
the principal streets are occupied by
dram shops. In the town where this
paper is written, the influence of wom-
en- has been exerted so forcibly that
three of the four corners where the
two main streets cross are occupied by
banks. Instead of Hogan's -aetreat on
the fourth corner, stands a bookstore.
There are boys and the young men of
the. town find a meeting place. There
they make their appointments. There
they browse through the weekly illus
trated papers and the magazines, and
look through new books. In this book
store the football games are bulletined,
the baseball games are talked over,
and politics finds its forum. Among
all the men and boys who frequent this
there is not one whose name has been
stained with scandal. These Young
fellows are business men, clerks, pro-
fessional men, real estate brokers and
college students. They are clean,
shrewd, active young men, who have
been brought up in a town where the
women make public sentiment, in a
town of petticoat government, wherein
woman has never held an admins
trative municipal office. IT is a town
of 5000 inhabitants without a saloon,
without a strange woman, without
