HOUSEHOLD BITS.
Some Suggestions of Value to the
Heads of the Domestic
Department..

1t should be remembered that the
use of vaseline is freely advised both for
badness and to increase the growth of
eyebrows and eyelashes; the inference
is obvious, therefore, that its use on the
face would have ronghening, if not an
actual hair-producing effect. A pure
cold cream, got from a reliable drug
gist, or made from any one of the many
good formulas that may be obtained, is
almost the only selye or pomade that
should be freely used upon the face.
An accessory to the nursery outfit
whose convenience not all mothers
have yet discovered are the sponge
bowls of French pottery, prettily deco
rated with quaint figures specially in
tended to please baby eyes. These bowls
are divided into compartments for hot
and cold water, and are set usually in
little wicker standard that is easily
brought to the mothers side when the
child's sponge bath is to be given.
A package of gum camphor is good
thing to slip in ones trunk in sum-
mer It is hint from an Adirondack
guide that a small piece of the gum
about the size of walnut, burned over
candle so as to produce smoke, but
not flame, will drive away for that night
at least all mosquitoes in and about
ones apartment.-N. Y. Post.

THE CANALS BOTTOM SANK.
Contractors Puzzled and Dismayed Over
the Ground Shrinking in Their Work
on Waterway.

Kewanee, Ill, July 2?.-The bottom
of the Hennepin canal in Henry and
Bureau counties has sunk, and the Gin
cinnati firm which has the contract for
construction on this section is puzzled
and in diSmay at the unexpected hap
pening- It was found that the ground
for 100 feet around where the
big shovel stood had sunk ten
feet Subsequent borings brought
to light the fact that no solid
bottom existed for depth of 40 feet
below the level OF the hardpan. Quick
sand in the soil is thought to be the
reason for the shrinking of the ground
and the same trouble has often been
experienced in digging wells. Inas-
much as the canal has to be cut, ac-
cording to the accepted surveys.
through about fOIlr miles of the ground
apparently of the same consistency, the
case presents some engineering features
that are quite oRt of the ordinary and
it is pulling the contractors to know
how to accomplish the feat.

THE CAR CRAZY.
The Russian Emperor Said to Be Plunged
in Melancholy on Account of Not
Having = Son.

Chicago, July 27.-Yesterday's Record
printed a cable from Stockholm saying:
Private letters received from st. Peters
burg declare that no doubt exists in
the minds of persons of the inner
court circle that the car intends
soon to make his brother, the Grand
Duke Michael, regent of the empire.
This arrangement will be temporary,
its permanency being contingent
on the emperor's regaining his health
through an operation-trepannin
which he is about to undergo. The
birth of the Grand Duchess Olga in
1895 was a grievous disappoin tment
to the car, who had his heart set on
the birth of a son. In 1897 came
Tatiana, also girl, and since
that time his majesty has prayed
necessarily for an heir. The recent
birth of third daughter, followed by
the death of his brother, the czarowitz,
is said to have plunged him in melan-
choly, and his physicians fear that I'M
less the pressure on the brain which
they have diagnosed is relieved hisrea-
son may be permanently impaired.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
What Each County Must Pay.

State Auditor Cole has figured out
the amount of tax each county must
pay this year for state purposes. The
total amount to be raised is ST., 799, 1896 80,
against 81, 1876, 100 last year. The total
assessed valuation this year is 1927, 1885,
1875, as against 1925, SS9, FAT last year.
The tax levy for general purposes this
: year was fixed at five mills by the leg
islature. In addition to this, an addi-
tlonal tax levy of one-fourth mill was
made to take care of the prison build
ing Irvine plant bonds and one-fourth
mill to complete the statehouse. Shaw
nee county will pay the largest amount
-aof state tax this year of any county in
Kansas $79, 972.34. Wyandotte county
comes next with 500, 997. Morton coun-
r ty will pay the least-S994. 90. The fol-
lowing shows the amount of state tax

Cuban soldiers Demoralized.

Havana, July GIN an Interview
with Gen. Gomez, printed in La Lucia.
the Cuban commander was quoted as
saying:
Never has plague more affecting fallen upon
Cuba than the 1905, 900 asked from President
Mckinley for the Cuban soldiers. The money
has been the cause of ill-wiu among those who
by right and justice, should be eternally united.
The history of the move is curious. 1t was
thought at first thatit ought not to have been
received, as it was a@dishonor to the Cubans.
The aspect is changed now, and it should cause
pain to see wandering through Havana soldie rs
begging for what it was supposed they would
refuse with serenity.

Rupture Between odd Fellows.

The fight among the Odd Fellows of
the state over the De Boissere home at
Ottawa has reached that stage where
Grand Secretary D. w. Kent says that
he or L. c. Slime, superintendent of the
home. must leave the order. Slime adj
dressed circular letter to the different
lodges requesting that in voting the
members qualify their votes for the
Odd Fellows home by stating that
they desire the grand lodge to father the
De Boissere home. Kent Immediately
wrote a caustic circular letter denounc
ing Slime and calling upon the lodges
to follow strictly the law of the order
in voting and to vote only as the ballots
indicated. Secretary Kent has an
nounced that at the next meeting of
the grand lodge he will prefer charges
against Slime. Shines reply is that he
agrees that one of them must leave the
order, but that it will not be him. The
interest of the next grand lodge meet
ing centers around the home question.
