1t is difficult thing to keep the
hands in good condition when the de-
tails of homework must be personally
attended to. Sweeping and busting
have bad effect, but that may be
speedily offset by the wearing of
loose pair of kid gloves. Rubber
gloves have never quite met the de-
mand of the kitchen work. They are
| clumsy and very destructible At
! times they are advocated for use in
dishwashing But few trials will
prove that the inevitable greasiness of
the dishwater will soften the gloves
and necessitate a new pair 1t would
be much easier to hire a special dish
washer than to keep oneself in rubber
gloves. There are no real preventives
| for stained hands; but the stains may
be quickly removed Lemon Juice is
the best agent and is quite sure to &C.
complish its work if salt is rubbed on
the hands afterward until all stains
disappear
Chloroform is one of the best things
known far removing grease spots
from delicate silks, although benzine is
good, all-round cleansing fluid.

In the attempt to clean ribbons or
silk never crush or wiring them. The
creases thus made will last as long as
the ribbons themselves. The way to
wash silk is to spread it out on clean
board, rub piece of pure soap upon it,
and then scour it with a hard brush.
After all the spots have been rubbed
out, finish by brushing it with brush
dipped in clear cold water until all the
soap has been removed from both
sides IF small amount of alum is dis
solved in the rinsing water it will pre-
vent the colors from running.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A dispatch from Marksville, La,
says: "A quiet little home, four or five
miles north of Marksville, was the
scene of a terrible tragedy a few days
ago. in which Leon Bernard was shot
and instantly killed by Mrs. Abel Bor-
delon. a young woman of about "a
years of age. Mrs Bordelon's version
of the deplorable affair Is said to be as
follows: Her husband and Leon Ber-
nard, who was a tenant Of Abel Bor
delon. were having a game of cards at
the house of the latter; not gambling,
playing only for amusement. The
wives of the two men were present,
and, seeming to be bored by the game,
several times asked their husbands to
stop playing The men giving no heed
10 the request. Mrs Bordelon picked
up gun and said. of you don't stop
| will shoot you, when, to her horror
the gun fired and the contents strik-
ing Bernard near the temple blew off
the top of his head. As Mrs. Bordelon
is of mild and amiable character, the
public is inclined to accept the story.
The two men and their wives were the
orlv ones present at the time Of the
shooting save Mrs Bordelon's children,
who are too young to give an intelli-
gent acc unit Of the affair"

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-Senat.r
Bever!dge spoke Tor two hours in the
senate this afternoon on the Philippine
situation and acquitted himself ad-
mirably. He declared for the perma-
nent retention of the islands, claim
ing that the natives we've incapable of
self-government, an! that it was the
occupy the field.
He said the Philippines are too val
liable to give up, and are essential to
commerce in the Orient. A simple but
strong government is needed, he de-
clared. Senator Hard made a speech
in opposition. In substance Senator
Beveridge said:
We will not abandon our opportunity
in the orient, we will not rem .unce our
mission in the orient. To hold the is
land empire will be no mistake. He
told of the immense trade of the east
which awaits us and described the
vast resources of the archipelago. He
alluded to the Filipino as south sea
m;!ay, put through process of 800
years of superstition in religion, dis
honesty in dealing, disorder in habits
Of industry and cruelty, caprice and
corruption in government. The Fill
pino does not understand liberty. A
protectorate Is impracticable and a
simple, strong government in the
hands of ideal administrators is need
ed. He must be shown the simplest
results of good government by eX-
amples He cannot be taught by pre-
cept The declaration of independence
applies only to people capable of self
government and these people, who are
not capable of "consenting" to any
form of government, must be gov
erned How dare we delay declara-
tiOn Of our intentions when our sold
lcrs' blood Is flowing? Blind indeed,
he said, is he who sees not the hand
# God in events so vast, so harmoni-
Gus, so benign, that man little knows
the common people Of the republic,
little understands the instincts of our
race, who thinks we will not hold 1t
Ohe Philippine archipelago fast, and
hold it, forever, administering just
government by simplest methods"
