H S. F. SUPERVISORS.

The Supreme Court of California
have rendered a decision in the tax
levy case which involved the ques-
ton as to which of the levies adopted
by the members of the ousted Board
of Supervisors or the new board ap-
pointed jointly by Governor Budd and
Mayor Phelan should be accepted by
the Auditor, ordering that the writ of
mandate applied for by Supervisor
Morton compelling the Auditor to rec
ognize that adopted by the ousted
board be granted.
Justice Carouttes was the only dis
senting voice, the opinion of Justice
Henshaw being assented to by the
other five Justices. This decision is
generally accepted as paramount to
the reinstatement of the old board
pending the appeal from the decision
of Judge Wallace ousting the mem-
bers from Office for malfeasance in
having failed to fix the water rates
within the time specified by law.
The people of San Francisco, ifthey
read the newspapers, will never be
able to figure out whether they lose
or win by this decision. Some of the
party organs insist that the old board
of Supervisors are simply unhung
scoundrels and then again others in.

When Doctors Disagree.

1t will be a great day for the aver
age American citizen when he can
really understand this protective tariff
business. President Mckinley, Tom
Reed and Mr.. DiDgley are pointing
with pride to the wonderful influence
for good the new tariff has had upon
the sheep industry, and now up rises
VIM. Lawrence. president of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association, and
declares that it is the Eastern carpet
manufacturer and not the fellows who
grow the wool who are benefited by
the new law.
In the meantime, the honest sheep
man is going forward and raising
sheep, confident that the world needs
all he a grow Of them for wool and
for meat, and certain that under nor
market for his product, tariff or no
tariff. And this is the great lesson to
be learned from these dissensions of
the tariff doctors-that it is one big
bugaboo, and has served its purpose
and fattened the politicians while the
people have grown lean, and that it
has about run itself out.
And Judge Lawrence must be a
guileless ard unsophisticated mar,
indeed. il he thinks for one moment
that Messrs. Dingley and Reed are
making tariffs that will leave out
their dear friends and hackers, the
New England manufacture s, one OF
whom has just been entertaining the
president at his palace by the seal

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

We beg our readers to note the sen
sitiveness of silver in tue market. 1t
has recently risen nearly IL cents
above the low price of September I,
and the only reason that experts can
give for it is '::rumor' that purchases
have been made for India, and
"rumor" that India is buying for
coinage. Back of these "rumors' is
the announcement Of the attitude of
the Bank of England with respect to
it's silver reserve. The recovery in
the market price of silver dates from
that announcement, SO that, notwith-
standing the flimsy nature of the
prospects, the fuctuation gives rea-
son for the surrnise that something
important is going on behind the
scenes.-Atlanta Constitution.
1t means that the money manipula-
tors of the world, seeing the drift of
the tide are loading up with cheap
silver. They will then assist the
campaign of bimetallism in 1900 and
when free coinage wins, the world
will have to turn to these men for the
supply. They are loaded with silver
at AZ and will get 100 at the mints.
The bankers will be shouting for free
coinage i'll 1900.

1t seems to you that that
tickling, hacking cough is all
in the throat. But your doc
tor will tell you that this sem
sation is often deceiving. The
cough is often the signal of
deeper trouble in the bron-

tissue itself. These inhamed
membranes can only be
healed bytreating the system.

cially in the earlier stages, no

Madame may change the hue and tex

ture in the matter Of skin by a course
of treatment. She may gradually de-
velop beautiful arms or shapely neck,
and she can call surgery 10 her aid if the
shape OF her nose does not happen to ac-
cord with her standard of beauty But
she has always been bafiled by her eyes.
There they are, green and narrow. may
be, brown and beady, perhaps, and she
has known that surgery could not
widen them or art change their hue.
But, after ALL there are reforms which
may be undertaken with eyes and care
which may be given them which will at
least keep them from being hindrance
to madame's charms.
The appearance Of the eyes depends
largely on the lids, eyebrows and eye
lashes. Scanty eyebrows may be
gradually filed out by the application
of pure grease to them every night. The
eyebrows should not be rubbed or
brushed the wrong way. Eyebrow
brushes should be used to apply the
grease. Pure vaseline, by the way, is
the best.
Vaseline applied to the eyelashes
with great care will increase their
growth, and stroking them upward
gives them the curly tendency, which is
a charm to any eye. Children's eye
lashes may be very slightly clipped at
the ends occasionally, and will grow
longer and better N consequence; but
a grown-up person should on no ac-
count tamper in this way with the
lashes, as it only makes them grow
coarse and stubbly. Even when cut
ting children's eyelashes the very great
est care should be exercised and only
the very tips should be clipped.
Inflamed eyelids may be washed in
rose water. When the eyes feel irrita-
BILE, or there is a prickly sensation, they
may be bathed in elderflower water.
The following recipe makes soothing
and refreshing wash for tired eyes:
Take a quart of soft water, a pinch of
coarse salt, and a tablespoonful of
brandy. Mix all well together and
shake the bottle before using the mix
ture. The best time for bathing the
eyes is in the evening.
Beds should always be placed so that
the daylight and SUMS rays do not
strike the eyes on waking. The light
should come from the side. 1t is also
well to have green or dark blue blinds in
bedrooms, which will effectually pre-
vent the bright light from entering the
room early in the morning.
The eyes should be closed once in
every two or three hours for five or ten
minutes. This rests them and helps
to preserve their luster. a good diges-
ton is another aid to beautiful eyes,
for a disordered stomach shows itself in
the yellowish whites Of the eyes.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

NO UsgF oR THE METRIC SYSTEM
We Mould Gain Little by Adopting
Continental Earcpe's Measures.


Why should we change these units to
adopt one which agrees with neither of
them, and which, at best, was originally
the visionary scheme of a congress of
philosophers? We have little TO learn
or gain by adopting the measures OF
continental Europe, says Casters Mag
azine. Three-quarters, or nearly so, of
the commerce and traffic of the world
is carried on by some form OF appliance,
whether moved by wind, water or steam,
which has been built from English
measures by some English-speaking
people. and the proportion is all the
time increasing.
Why adopt another and more incon-
yenient system which will render all
systems of screw threads, gear teeth,
foundry patterns, shop draw ings, etc,
obsolete as well as shelving the most
valuable collection of mechanical liter
AZURE in the wor.d and requiring all its
tables to be translated into a foreign
measure, merely TO obtain the advan-
tages of decimal system which, as
have shown, we already have to all in
tents and purposes il a far more con-
venient form than we should obtain
from the introduction of the meter and
its derivatives? Besides, these two
unit measures-the inch and the foot

GOOD ENOUGH TO FOOL A FOX.
Shooters Experience with Fancy
Decoys on AIbemnrle sound.


Eldridge Darlington, a New Yorker
who went to Albemarle sound duck
hunting few weeks ago, tells curious
story of fox, reports the New York
Sun. He had his decoys off a rounded
point of land one morning, and was
waiting for it to get light enough to
shoot. The decoys We're fancy ones
made of iron and rubber, painted to
represent the birds the hunter was
after, and looked very natural.
At dawn it happened that for about
ten or fifteen minutes no birds came
within range, so no SLOTS were fired.
While the hunter was wond aring at this
he heard a rustic up-wind from the
blind in the grass of the point. Look
ing cautiously over the grass, he was
just in time to see a fox crouched for
a leap at decoy which was about four
feet distant. The fox gave a culver as
he gathered his muscles for the jump,
and then sprang ahead and grabbed the
decoy with all his might. Thereupon
the fox was the most astonished beast
that ever hunted ducks. The rubber
bag with an iron frame was hard and
soft in spots. The rubber was pierced
by the teeth of the animal, letting the
air out with a pop like a tirecracker.
The iron, however, had a serious effect
on the fox's jaw, breaking several teeth
and cutting the lips in a way that made
the fox squeal The fox turned three
somersaults in the water and then
headed for shore and got to the brush,
in spite of two shots.
