CARE OF THE HANDS.
rFrom the washington Star I

n
Some persons perspire in the palms
of their hands, which is excessively dis
agreea BILE to themselves as we'll as to
others. The hands should be well bathed
night and morning in hot water, in
which is mixed little subcarbOnate of
soda with powdered alum and tannin
equal portions This will not injure the
health On the contrary, tannin has a
beneficial effect. It is as we'll to put a
little of the same powder into the gloves
each time they are worn, whether by
night or day. Violet powder or orris
root powder may be also used with ad-
vantage during the day, but alum and
tannin are better.
Frequent washing in moderately cold
water sometimes proves sufficient to
remove the moisture, or the addition of
a few grains of alum, sal ammoniac or
a teaspoonful of vinegar, added to cold
water, greatly increases its efficacy
A sharp penknife is much to be pre-
ferred for cutting the nails, scissors
often having the disadvantage of strain
ing and distorting the nails during the
process of cutting, unless you use real
nail scissors which are curved in the
blades. Nails to be beautiful should be
flbert-shaped, but as everyone is not
the fortunate pOSseSSOr of this form,
one must be content to cut and coax
ones nails to look as beautiful as pos
sible.
Cut them nicely from the sides to
oval them over the tops, and the nails
should not extend beyond the finger
tips Long or claW-Nke nails are vulgar
and inconvenient, while if shorter than
the finger tips they are unsightly
and allow the flesh to spread and get
clumsy.
No one should use glycerin, and but
very few can use il with any comfort
and benefit. since it tends to coarsen the
skin as we'll as discolor it. Vaseline or
cold cream should be used by those de-
sirous of having firm, white, soft flesh.

HOWARD GOuLD's HOME.

IN. Y. Special St Louis Republicl
Howard Gould has purchased for
$500, 600 the south corner of Fifth avenue
and Seventy-third street as a site for a
residence, which, it is estimated will
cost about $1,000, 00e- His mansion will
form the north boundary of a mile and
a half of millionaire homes between the
Metropolitan club at Sixtieth street and
the most attractive part of Fifth ave-
nue., skirting on Central Park.
The plot purchased by Mr.. Gould has
a frontage of AZ feet ? inches on Fifth
avenue and $50 feet on Eeventy-third
street The property carries with it the
right to use an alley way 10 feet wide
at the rear, which is an unusual con-
cession in this neighborhood.
1t is not probable that work on Mr..
Gould's new home will begin for some
time to come, and it may be a year be-
fore the foundation is laid One Of the
features, or, rather, the feature of the
mansion will be a splendid ballroom. &C.
cupying practically the entire parlor
floor. AS the plot upon which the man
sion will stand has an area of more
ferred that this ballroom will be one OF
the largest in private house in this
city.
Other characteristics of the residence
will be in line with the ballroom. 1t
will allow Mr. Gould and his wife. who
was Miss katherine Clemmons. to en-
terrain lavishly. To the end that tire
house shall be perfect one for recep-
TONS balls and dinner parties, no ex-
pense will be spared in its construction
and fitting up
Just how much the building alone viii
cost it is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy. Mr.. Gould
may easily spend $1,000,00O in construct
ing his palace.
If present plans are not changed the
Goulds will move into their new home
late in 1900 Meantime the couple are
occupying a leased dwelling at No. %

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Union Mine Workers Association
Would Compel Recognition.

Pittsburg. Kan, April 10.-James
Boston, president of the national ex-
ecutive committee of the Union Mine
Workers association, addressed a large
audience composed of mine workers,
miners and members of labor organiza-
tons at the A o. L. w. hall Saturday
night
The principal part of his talk was re-
gardfng the strike at Hawthorne, l. T.,
and was on the order of an agitation
among the miners in the district to
come out in sympathy with the Indian
Territory and Arkansas. The meeting
did not adjourn until after II o'clock.
and as a result the coal companies in
this district which also own and operate
mines in that district Will be requested
to suspend work here until the Union
Mine Workers association is recognized
over the entire southern district The
companies which will be affected are
the Kansas and Texas. the Western
Coal and Mining company. and the Cen
trail Coal and Coke company, in this
district The trade that rightly be-
longs to the southern district is being
supplied from those companies in this
district.

The Queens Visits to the Continent

IFrom the London Chronicle.

siderable. Two years after her majesty

to Belgium to see her uncle, Leopold l.
she went TO Belgium, Germany and
France. She visited the Belgian king
again in 1850 and in 1852; was at the
Paris exhibition in 1855; at Cherbourg
in 1857 and 1858, and in the latter year
also visited her eldest daughter at Pots

and Germany were revisited in the years
1858 and 1865 Her first stay in Switzer-

MICROBES CAUSE COLDS.

IFrom the Medical Press and Record
The old-fashioned cold has been GUST
ed to some extent from its former posi-
ton in domestic medicine by the modern
influenza. An attack of influenza is
much better excuse for nOn-attendance
at the office or shop than a cold, the
latter being commonly regarded as an
accommodation bill drawn by lazineSS
or idleness- There is Internationally
such a thing as a cold-that is to say,
a deviation from health obviously con-
sequent upon and due to exposure TO
cold and damp. The initial sensation
OF cold is followed up by more or less
pronounced physical discomfort possibly
by more definite signs and symptoms OF
bronchitis or other disease a 1r1gore-
With that prediction for inexora Bile
logic which characterizes the undis-
corning, the average citizen regards
every illness beginning with chill as a
cold, losing sight of the fact that there
are chills-i- e, sensations OF cold
which are in nowise due to the action OF
the low temperatures. This vulgar error
has been productive of serious conse-
Quence in more than one direction,
Nowadays, and rightly, we are all for
fresh air. We fear no foe save the
ubiquitous microbe, and We fight him
with fire and poison. with results that
amply suffice to justify this war
outrance. 1t may, on the other hand, be
a person with weak chest who exper-
fences a Chill and, as it is theoretical
" impossible ever to exclude the in
ffuence of cold he or she attributes the
symptoms which foIlow-the cough, the
sweating, the expectoration, etc--to
a previous exposure, whereas the chill
merely hera1ded a rise of temperature
incidental to an outburst of tuberculcus
disease.
1t would surprise many intelligent
people to be told that a chill is sign
that there is fever, and that sweating
is usually a sign that the fever is abat-
ing Yet such is the unvarnished fact,
that it would be well for il to be gen
orally known. Cold is merely a debili-
tating agent. the effects whereof Will
vary according to the individual. 1t
throws a strain on the organic machln-
cry and the weakest part gives If the
machine as whole is in good trim,
nothing happens beyond little temper
airy discomfort In rheumatic person
it may determine pains in the joints; in
another, bronchitis; in a third. kidney
trouble; and so on-in short, it picks
out the weak spots. and converts weak
ness into disease. Colds are VIGOROUSLY
infectious, and the places where colds
are most frequently caught are places
where ventilation is defective and where
microbes abound, as in certain theaters,
churches, railway carriag es and the like,
so that even the symptoms of the old
fashioned cold are for the most part OF
the result of microbial infection and
not of exposure.

PRINCES WORK HARD.
rFrom the London Mail. !


Two nephews of the king of Siam are
engaged on Tyneside-one at the loco
motive works of the Northeastern Rail
way company, the other in the arsenal
at ElsWick. When King Chulalongkorn
visited our shores in the summer of 1897
few things interested him more deeply
than his visits to scenes of industry in
the north of England. 1t is not forgot
ten in Newcastle how his majesty ling
cred so long at Elswick that his depart
ure for Leeds was hours late and the
municipal dignitaries there were kept
waiting a corresponding period to enter
tain him and his suite at welcome
banquet
That the impression made at New
castle was lasting one is now album
dainty proved. as Prince Sesseri, a
nephew of the king, has recently ar
rived at Tyneside to learn the detail
and mystery of locomotive making at
the Northeastern Railway company's
locomotive shops at Gateshead- Ever
since the days of Stephenson the Tyne
has been pre-erninent in this great and
important industry, and local pr1de-a
very real sentiment in the Newcastle
district, by the way-is immensely graf
flied thereat-
Wilson WorsdeH is the head of the
Northeastern Railway company's loco
motive department, and he is now en-
gagged in putting together a new type
of passenger engine. which 1t IS hoped
will enable the east coast route to hold
its own against those powerful rivals,
the Northwestern and Midland, for the
Scottish tourist and shooting traffic
in August. Without going into details
it may be said that the new locomotives
will have instead of the usual four seven
feet wheels coupled, six six-feet wheels
coupled, with a four-wheeled truck in
front. Working pressure of the boilers
is to be 200 pounds, and the engines will
be the largest and heaviest in use in
Great Britain.
It is at the works where these locOmo-
tives are being built that Prince Sesseri
is now beginning to go through the
mill" He is to have opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with all the detail
work. the idea being on the conclusion
of the study here to return to Siam and
Superintend the establishment of a sim
liar industry in Siam
Prince BoVaradiez. an elder brother of
Sesseri, is also on Tyneside- He is one
of the polygiot colony of students and
experts now engaged at the Elswick
works in inspecting the progress of
manufacture on ships, torpedoes, guns
and ammunition for their various coun-
tries at the famed Tyne arsenal But
Bovaradiez is only at Elswick as a pu-
pill, where he may to his hearts con-
tent see the wheels go round for
they never stop night and day, so busy
are Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., linn
tied, in producing machines of war in
this age of the peace crusade" which,
it may be added. breaks out in New
castle this week under the direction of
Mr.. Stead.

Is TIns Double Headed Baby.
Winfield, w. Va. July %. Mr..
and Mrs. Simms Hall reside at
Teays, this county. A new born
girl babe came to their home Fri
day. The child is a most peculiar
freak of nature. 1t has two heads
of about equal size, the normal
head possessing no deformities. but
has rather ahandsome face and has
apparently bright look for one of
it's age. The abnormal head is
about the size of the natural one,
but it has neither eyes, mouth nor
ears. However, by touching the
head small cartilages can be felt,
where the ears should be. The
child seems to be in the best of
health and does not suffer from
the second head, but the sight is
one which causes one to shudder
upon lookingat the sadly afflicted
infant.
