A word about the matter Of food. Do
not economize in your eating. I was
told the other day that women shop
pers, especially of the better class, will
do whole day of shopping in the
stores without partaking of a suffi-
cient meal. This should never be done.
Nothing destroys the complexion like
an empty stomach. It is like running
an engine without fuel-all parts suffer.
Keep your system we'll nourished. If
you are inclined to fat you can diet,
but do not economic in your food. Do
not take pork and beans, corn beef and
cabbage, because they are cheap. Let
economy show in other ways, for the
pretty women never lived who did not
eat well.
Again about exercising. do not be-
lieve in Herculean efforts nor in the
swinging of dumb bellies; but if you can
find a pleasant exercise, like cycling,
by all means practice it.
The Princess of Wales has station
airy bicycle in her boudoir, upon which
she rides on rainy days. 1t is sus-
pended by ropes from the ceiling, and is
mounted on a platform in such way
that the wheels run freely; the chain
is frightened so as to make pedalling
equal to that On an ordinary road. If
you have the means to do this, by all
means set up bicycle.
Late hours never have, and never
will, hurt a woman's looks, provided
she gets her necessary rest. Early to
bed and early to rise is one of those
old sayings which should die out before
it is drilled into another generation.
Country people so to bed early and get
up carly, yet fail to see that they are
any the healthier, Weather, or wiser
than city people who go to bed late and
get up late. If you secure your nine
hours Of sleep you will have all you
need. Eight hours will do, but seven
is not CROUCH. After a hard nights

DOES THIS MEAN YOU?

Frequently whist players are placed
IN positions where they do not have
time to think. The slightest hesitation
will sometimes inform even the most
honorable adversary CT the card held
in some suit. For instance, suppose
third hand wins the first trick with the
ace and, On the return, the second hand,
after celebrating some time and show
ing signs OF distress, plays a low card.
The third hand will probably refuse to
make the fines5e obligatory, but will
win with the queen. Had second hand
played quickly, q trick might have been
gained. He should have taken the time
necessary in considering his lire Of
action before playing to the previous
trick. A little forethought will often
reveal cases where time IS required
A keen player should watch his hand
closely to see if there are any POSSIBLE
tiles of such situations. If he expects
leads of Strengthening cards, let him
decide whether he will cover them be-
fore the play actually occurs. Hold
ing that unenviable combination, king
and one small and playing high or low
according to his desire to obtain the
lead, one is frequently able to deter
mine the latter point on first looking
at the hand. How many players merely
sort their suits at the beginning Of the
play and then wait for the opening lead.

HE WHO LAUGHS LAST, &C.
The lovers Of the royal game are
often RECALLED with strange and ludi-
crous incidents during play. Some
times they are eNasperating as well
as amusing, and at other times they
are both. An example of the last is
recalled by the writer which is worth
recounting One of our most genial
and famous local minister's who has
rounded the prime Of life several
tributes CT a much younger man, was
sitting at a game of duplicate last
Thursday evening and extracting the
usual quantum of pleasure and mer-
riment from the play. His partner,
a devoted whistler, was q little uneasy
as to the score for he had observed
that the adversaries 1.-TWO ladies' were
playing a very careful game and that
his merry Wis Wis was not only I'M
derating their ability, but playing care
lessly. 'Bime by, as bre'r Rabbit
would say, the two ladies, who sat
north and south, possessed hands in
which there were great possibilities.
North held five trumps including all
the honors and the king and one small

Hearts-lo.
Spades (trumps)-7, s.
The two hands properly played
would have been a slam. North had
the lead and fired away with her
trumps. On the third round her part
ner discarded the lone ten of hearts.
On the fourth round she discarded the
three of diamonds, her next weakest
suit. Now what ought North to have
done? Trumps were all out. South,
had indicated in the most
conventional manner that her strong
and long suit must be clubs. Did
North lead the king of clubs as was
her plain duty? No. Instead, North
lead a heart. Result, East and West
picked up three tricks before North
could stop them with her remaining
trump. Then she realized her mistake
and led the king of clubs. The re-
manning tricks all going their way.
North and South looked at each other
very hard at the end of the play; ex-
plantations and apologies were the or
der of the moment. Then our merry
making friend, who never loses an
opportunity to extract a heap Of fun
out of the opposition's discomforture,
began in an exasperating style TO read
his opponents lecture on the discard,
punctuating it with slur upon North's
obtuseness in not obeying her partner
signal. Well the play went on and
"Bime by" during the everyday East
and West possessed these identical
hands. East began the lead of trumps.
On the third round his partners dis
card of the lone ten OF hearts follow
ed. On the fourth round OF trumps
fell his partners small diamond. Now
by all the powers that be one would
think that the king of clubs in East's
hand was sure to follow. Did it?
East paralyzed his partner by the lead
of a small heart. Then North and
South, who distinctly remembered the
deal and the original play, almost fell
off their chairs in the enjoyment of the
Egyptian anger and scowling features
of West and the humiliating and hum
BILE expression of countenance on the
part of East. During the remainder of
the play East's hilarious manifesto
tons had gone glimmering, and when
the score showed that the ladies had
beaten by one trick he remarked that
he wanted no refreshments but would
like to retire at once.

Comments-Llttle need be said about
the everyday except to remark that
West no sooner picked up his hand
than he remembered 1t else he would
not have lead the deuce Of diamonds
to tell his partner he had but four Of
the suit when he had six. His purpose
was TO throw North of the scent, re-
lying upon the mnenonic qualities OF
his partner-and they are not poor-to
catch on. North and South did not
remember the deal and the former

played correctly, covering the diamord
2 with his Jack OF course the "iig
was up" for N. & S. East recollected
the deal and cross-ruff at once en-
sued, which when the score was count
ed, showed the very remarkable swing
OF eight tricks in favor of East and
West, much to the chagrin Of North
and South. But the latter ought NOT
to feel bad. The loss was not because
of bad play the cards lay unfortunate
ly for them. Success might not follow
such play again in hundred consecu-
tive deals After all can the winners
say that mnemonic whist is a good
whist? And ought not the losers to-
feel just as happy as the other fel-I
lows?
A correction-An error cropt into
last Sundays Register which did in,
justice to one OF dts correspondents. II
was stated that the deuce OF diamonds
partners long suit-was led from
queen, jack and deuce. 1t should have
read queen, the correct lead.

Local whist circles have been con-
siderably exercised the past week over
the discussion CT enc of these freak
or cdd deals which occasionally crops
up during an evenings duplicate play.
If the hands composing the deal had
been played ccnverticnally little would
have been thought of it, but as West
On the original play took header and
by so doing made a slam, whist cranks
are UP in arms to know why West
played so Queerly. The old saw that
nothing succeeds like success" is well
exemplifed in this case. If this "excur-
sionist" had lost by making the coup,
as he would four times out of five,
he would have received the big
laugh" the cold hand" and all the
other manifestations of contempt and
disgust so common when a player de-
parts so radically from the recognized
rules. The Register has been request
ed to publish the deal and express an
opinion upon the play of the hands.
Here's the deal:

COLD CREAM.

There is another cold cream which is
very good, and has white vaseline as
a basis. This, like the other, must be
melted and perfumed. 1t is then allow
ed to cool and placed in jars. This
makes very soft cream, which is used
for very tender sunburn. For chapped
hands and lips | would advise a very
differeEt treatment, although all cream
has fat as basis. This can be made
by securing mutton tallow. Be careful
again that the mutton is pure and the
fat nicely strained. Take half cup of
tallow and into it pour teaspoonful of
camphor. Stir well and pour into an
earthen jar it will become very firm.
Now cut it and wrap each of the pieces
in silver foil. Rub it on the backs Of
the hands or lips.
Very obstinate hands can be treated
with homemade soap. Take CASTLE
soap ard melt it. It will take long
time before it becomes a liquid But
as soon as there are no Jumps, stir in
the soap half a cup of powdered oat-
meal. Half a cup of oatmeal to a
pound Of soap, weighed before it is
melted, is a good proportion. Add a
few drops Of cologne ard form into a
cake which can be done as soon as the
soap begins to har5en-place the cakes
in dry s2o. ard in two weeks you can
begin to use them.

Board Of Esualization

Yesterday the Governor and State
Controller held a session with the
Board of County Commissioners sit
ting as an equalization for Ormsby
County.
The Governor challenged the tax
roll of Ormsby on the ground that
Section 9, page I39 Of the statutes of
1891, which required property to be
assessed at its full cash value" had
not been complied with.
The fact that the capital stock Of
the Bullion and Exchange Bank had
been but partially assessed and the
stock of the Carson Water Co. were
cited as examples of a low assessment
Mr.. Chartz, as the attorney of the
Bank, took the floor and said that he
was willing to see the Bank assessed
to its full limit and the Bank would
lead the patriotic procession of tax
payers if the Board would treat the
Southern Pacific r. r. Co. the same
way. He claimed the Board was
sneaking about the State on the peo,
pies money in the interests of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, having
been placed on the ticket by them and
elected by the influence of the road,
to assist them and cinch the local in
dastries of the State. The Governor
and Co%ustreller replied to MIR. Chartz
by stating that they had acquainted
the Boards of their coming months
before by the publication of calls in
the newspapers and sent out hundreds
OF circulars to the same effect, show
ing that their mission hal not been
concealed i'll any way. AS to the
Southern Pacific they had called the
attention of every Board of Equaliza-
ton that the road was mortgaged for
one hundred and twenty-five million
OF about thirteen hundred miles Of
road and had cited the r. R. attorney
Mr.. Griffith to prove this as a guide
to the full cash valve. The Boards
having held that a raise at present to
the full cash value would give the
State too much revenue under the at
bitrary dollar rate the County Boards
had not been asked to make so radl-
cal a change this year.
The State Board had asked for a
raise in each Of the counties the S P.
road had been taxed in of about fifty
per cent and they had asked 10 more
than this of anyone else aud the local
roads, in consideration Of their re-
duced earnings had not been raised
at all.
The Governor then mentioned Ed.
mond James as not paying enough on
his cash also Mr.. Nierra and the Car
son Water Company. Mention was
then made of the cash on deposit in
the Bank and the attorney of the Bauk
held that such a tax would cinch the
widow aud orphans who had deposits
He was told by the members Ct the
State Board that widows had a Ger.
tain exemption under the law anG
that if a wealthy man like Senator
Hickey had ten Thousand dollars il
cash on deposit he could not unde:
the law be asked to be relieved oftax.
ton on the ground hal he was al
orphan.
The Board agreed to take the mat
tiers laid before them under advise
ment and adjourned.

Cleveland township was not in it.
You will read the convention pro.
ceedings in the republican papers from
a day to a week later.
At the opening of the convention
there were present 3 4 delegates out of
the I64. and 2 on-lookers.
The old veterans who were candi-
dates for clerk. sheriff, and register of
deed. were all turned down. But then,
the party managers figure that the old
soldiers will vote the republican ticket
straight, no matter how they may be
treated by that party.
All clashes that promised to develop
in the convention were suppressed
for the sake of harmony but the dele
gates who know they were bamboozled
will remember their wrongs on election
day.-Their votes will count more on
that day than any protests in the rati-
fication convention would have done.
