sul-General Lee made demand that
tne treaty with the United States be
observed, and then telegraphed to OIL
ney that unless he was sustained bv
the government he would resign. OIL
ney, in an imperious way, replied That
consuls had no power to make such
demands, and wanted to know what

defend American citizens and uphold

or over two hundred words to General
Lee asking him not to resign and not
TO do anything at that time that might
emDarrass the administration, which
was about to go out of Office
General Lee concluded to remain,
and was all the more willing because
he received a private dispatch from
senator Sherman, who, ii was known
would be the next Secretary of State,
which contained simply one word,

signed John Sherman" That salts
fled the Consul-General that the next
administration at. least would uphold
the rights OF American citizens, and
he remained in office, and was inform
ed by President Mckinley at the be-
ginning OF his administration that the
Consul-Genera1 had the entire conf

made no mistake in retaining General
Lee. And this petty method of ex-
Secretary Olney, in trying to throw dis
credit on the Consul-General. who Is

that as it may, the use Of soap for wash

AID some soap were in a tolerable state
of preservation. The Gallo soap of
eighteen centuries ago was prepared
FROM fat and wood ashes, particularly
the ashes from beech wood, which wood
was very common III France as we'll as
in England Soap is spoken of by writ
ers from the second century, but the
Saracens were the first people to bring
il into general use as an external cleans
ing medium. The use of soap is thus
described: when examined chemical
iy, the skin is found to be composed OF
a substance analogous to dried white of
egg; in word, albumen. Now, albu-

when soap is used for washing the skin
the excess Of alkali combines with the

an emulsion, and with a portion of the
dirt. Another portion of the alkali soft

of the skin, and when this is rubbed off
the rest of the dirt disappears So that
every washing of the skin with soap re-
moves the old face of the skin and leaves
a new one, and were the process repeat
ed to excess the latter would become

NOg FOR EVERYTHING.

But il you have kidney, liver or bladder
trouble YOU will find Swamp Root just
the remedy you need. Peopleare not apt
to get anxious about their health soon
enough. If you are mot quite we'll" or
"half sick" have you ever thought that
your kidneye may be the cause of your
sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty four hours; sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
tion OF the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scant supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also CON
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy Dr. Kilmer's Swamp.

of the work was to spell words placed on the
board, to mark and give long or short sound
of the vowel. In the discussion Stunt. Miller
spoke of the mistakes made by teachers in
introducing too many new words in a lesson.
He thought two new words day sufficient.
After dinner Mr.. Miller introduced the sub
ject the chart, and asked Miss Jordan to
explain to the association her use of the new
combination chart just placed in the room,
Her reply was that she had made very little
use of it and considered it Of little benefit to
the school. This sentiment seemed to pre-
vail, and the superintond9nt's comment was
that he would roll 1t up carefully and lay it
away in the garrett.
The Blue Book was taken up by Andrew
purpose of the questions was not so much the
impartng of information as to give those un-
familiar with the work an idea of what it
contained. In 1t the teacher often has val

Animal COioufstas

During the last few years the demand
for pedigree English cattle for Argen-
tina has been enormous. Shorthorns,
Herefords and Devons have been i'm
ported weekly, and crossbred English
stock now fills the "oorrals" of the
great beef and bovril companies of the
Rio de la Plata. In North America this
Anglicizing process has spread to all the
states of the Union. Half bred Herefords
and Shorthorns are taking the place Of
the common cattle of the States ON near
" all the ranches of the beef producing
districts, and the colonizing capacity of
different English breeds is recommend
ing them for special districts Thus the
Devon bulls are purchased for ranches
where the search for pasture and water
needs special activity and endurance,
and red "polled" or hornless Suffolks
are used where cattle are being bred for
transit by rail or ship because the alb
sence of horns is then convenient. Even
tropical Brazil follows the fashion, and
English Jersey COWS are seen demurely
walking through the forest 2 tbs by the
coffee plantations and English terriers
and pug dogs sit on the laps of Brazilian
ladies.
Whether the Jersey cattle will multi
ply or the planters estates time will
