CARE OF THE NAILS.

How They Should he Treated to Develop
and Preserve Their Beauty.
Many women with pretty hands are
constantly annoyed by the rough ap-
pearance Of their finger nails, caused by
the fact that they break and split. The
possessor of such nails should cut them
with we'll sharpened manicure scissors.
and the nail should never be cut or fled
unless the fingers have first been soaked
in warm water: The brittleness may
sometimes be lessened by rabbing al.
mond oil thoroughly into the nails and
finger, ends on retiring at night. A pair
otold kid gloves must then be pulled on.
The housekeeper whose nails break
easily should never stir anything on the
hot range without first slipping on q
loose glove, as the dry heat from the
fire will make her nails more brittle
A teaspoomful of lemon juice in d
cupful of tepid water whitens and sup.
pies the nails and removes all grease
and :sdirt, making them more easy to
polish. This should be used every morn.
ing, and by soaking the fingers few
moments it is possible to make the nails
perfectly clean and transparent without
the use Of any metal cleaner by simply
rubbing under them with towel. It is
also beneficial in removing the skin
around the nail edges, which should
never be cut with scissors. Rub the
towel firmly all about the nail, pushing
back the skin. Do this regularly every
day, and after a few weeks the skin
growth will disappear. . <'"' 4

How +he Women Of South

ance in South Dakota on November 8,
is that of the right of women to vote.
and the voters viii pass fully upon
he retention or the striking out Of the
word male in the state constitu-
ton.
For seven years the woman suffrag-
lists have been waiting. Their last APP
peal to the voters was in 1890, and
they met with defeat. They then ap-
pealed to the legislature for permission
to submit a suffrage amendment. The
request was granted and the amend
merit has been presented. 1t now re-
qulres only the vote of "a majority Of
the electors voting thereon" If that
majority vote is given the amendment
will become part of the state cOnsti-
tuition and women viii be admitted as
voters upon an equal footing with
men.
Mrs. Anna R. Simmons, president of
the South Dakota Equal Suffrage as
sceiation, has-gone into the field TO
stump the state in behalf of the cause.
Her active work for many years when
she has appeared in all the adjoining
states, vOicing a plea for women, has
thoroughly prepared her for the heavy
task she has undertaken Associated
with her i'll the campaign work are
the state organizers, prominent among
whom is Mrs. Emma Cranmer. Routes
for the speakers, dates for meetings,
and the details of the campaign man
agement are arranged by the assOcia-
ton secretary Mrs. Clara NJ. VIII
liams, whose headquarters is in Brook
ings.
Besides these campaigners there
have come to the aid of the South Da-
kOta women conspicuous leaders in the
cause in other states. The Illinois
Equal Suffrage Association has kept
it's promise made last winter to send
aid when the campaign opened. Hi
nOis has already sent her best workers
and they are in the field now winning
votes for Nov 8. Mrs. Julia Mills
Dunn, president of the Illinois state or
ganization, has spoken for several
weeks. Her ability as a speaker and
writer is well known and she is cor
sidered by the women here as one of
the most successful political canf-
paigners in the work for woman's en-
franchisement that the country has
yet produced. With her are Miss NJ.
Lena Morrow and the eloquent Swed-
ish orator, Mrs. Emmy @. Evaid. The
state has been portiOned off so that
every city, town and village can be
reached before election day.

Frederick Muhlenberg was speaker
of the house in the First and Third
congresses.
The second speaker of the house
was Jonathan Trumbull, of Connect
cut, son of that Jonathan Trumbull
who was governor of Connecticut
during the Revolution, and was the
chosen friend and counsellor of Wash
ington. In fact, the epithet, Brother
Jonathan now applied as a person

origin to Washington's habit of ad-

Speaker Trumbull himself served on

VOTING IN 1854,

One of the most interesting features
of the stirring war election of 81,
when Abraham Lincoln ran a second
time for the presidency of the United
States and was opposed by General
George B. Mcclellan, was the voting
of the soldiers. For nearly four years
these gallant men had marched and
fought, periling their lives willingly
on a hundred bloody batteields and
knowing no laws but the commands of
their superior officers. Now they were
again to exercise their rights as sOver-
eign citizens; some at their homes,
where they had gone on furlOughs,
and many in their far off camps.
Extraordinary precautions were ia
ken to secure the untrammeIed vote
of the men fighting at the front and to
guard against corruption. Some of
the states had made provisions, be
fore the war broke out, for taking the
vote of soldiers absent from their re-
spective states with the army; and
the other states had adopted similar
provisions as soon as the necessity be-
came apparent.

TRINIDAD PITCH LAKE.

The famous pitch lake or great btu
men deposit at Trinidad is situated at
Point Librea, on an elevation at about
a mile from the sea. 1t covers an
area of nearly 100 acres, and its ap-
pearance is that of a dull, still, dark
waste. 1t is irregularly circular, and
its surface perceptibly convex, being
more elevated in the centre and thence
insenslbly declining on all sides. In
the centre the pitch is quite soft-in
fact, semi-Iiquid- it becomes more
and more hardened as its circumfer-
ence widens out. Except the soft cen
trail parts the surface is intersected in
all directions by numerous assures or
chasms, varying in breadth from two
feet to sixteen feet, and from half
f1ot to seven feet in depth, widening
also at the bottom, thus producing, as
it were, inverted angular hollows.
while the sides are regularly rounded.
These crevices are at all times filed
with fresh water. Here and there
where the bitumen is mixed with
earthly matter, grow Hchens, MOSES
grasses, etc. The centre of the lake
the pitchpot or chaudiere, as it is
caIled-is at all times so soft that it
without mourning the danger of being
engulfed.
The lake is government property,
and parts of it are leased out to pri-
vate individuals, who have to pay
royalties according to the amount of
pitch removed, which amount is
checked by the government. The lake
is practically inexhaustibIe. No mat
ter what quantity is taken out it IS
replaced by fresh pitch, which always
wells up to fill the hole. The surface
of the outer edges of this most won
derfuI of lakes is quite hard enough
to walk upon; but a curious result en-
sues if you stand still for any length
of time on one spot. For some yards
around you the pitch bodily sinks I'M
til it forms a sort of basin. 1t is quite
different to sinking in sand, where
your feet gradually disappear with
out making any apparent difference
in the level of the ground.-Wide
