1t is pleasant to learn, if one has Ma
poleon I on the hero list, that he had
very dainty habits in personal matters;
that he was faetidiously clean in his per-
son, according to an article in French
contemporary, and poured eau bo colonge
into the water he washed in, sponged
his head with perfume and finally
poured the remainder Of the flask oyer
the neck and shoulders. He was also
extravagantly fond of clean linen and
during his campaigns had relays OF it
sent to different places. In those days
it did not cost farm to have "starched
things" Hundred, for, in account with
a famous laundress in Paris, the emper.
or's "linen' for ore "wash" amounted
to $50 pieces and cost only a trifle over
500.
This strikes an American as very rea-
sonable. But his majesty never wore
any article but once, and as he Away
undressed himself without aid from his
valet his garments were literally east
to the four corners Of the room. Ma
poleon's bill for eau de cologne, how
ever, exceeded the washer woman's by
a large majority. 1t is a relief te learn
that the Little Corporal was so much a
dude.

Senator Nelson's report in favor Of
the bill creating the Department of
Commerce is an interesting and COM
pact history Of the growth of the execu.
tive departments OF the government,
since the creation of the first one by the
Act OF July 9th, 1889. The bill will
most likely become law.
1t seems that Mr.. Roberts was right
when lie said that men charged with
polygamy had been appointed to FEEDER
al offices in Utah. The House Com
mittee on Pest Offices has ascertained
that Mr.. Graham, Postmaster at Provo
Utah, has been under indictment for
some time, but that the prosecuting at
torney did not consider conviction
likely, and had not tried to have him
brought to trial.
Representative Campbell, of Mont,
who is one of the Counsel against Sena.
tor Clark, of the same state, in the case
now being heard by the Senate COM
mttee on elections, violated one of the
unwritten laws of Congress when he ap.
peared in the case, and has consequent.
ly been criticised by the sticklers for
the preservation of Congressional eti-
quette. He is said to be the only men,

The Porto Rican DILL will be taken

although it is strongly opposed there is
no doubt that it will be promptly
passed. 1t provides for che imposition
Of duty equivalent to one fourth of
those imposed upon other foreign pro-
ducts upon Porto Rican products, and
that all moneys collected for that duty,
either in Porto Rico or the United States

in favor of the bill says it will save to
the planters of sugar and tobacco in

NUTRITIOUS FOODS.
Beef and Eggs Must Step Down From
Their High Place.

Professor Atwater, who has devoted
himself to the study for number Of
years, declares that there is no single
perfect food, the nearest approach to
1t being milk. No food, however, con-
tains the essential constituents in
right proportions, and thus we have to
get what we want by combining our
foods.
1t will be great shock to many
thrifty housewives to learn that beef
and eggs are among the greatest of
all economical mistakes. A single
dollar spend in wheat-four will yield
as much nutrition as $50 spent on sir
loin of beef. Sugar ranks next to
wheat-four as an economical food, for
a dollars worth of sugar contains as
much nutriment as S. worth of milk,
$12 worth of eggs, or $40 worth of oys.
ters. In proportion to their cost oys-
tiers are almost the least nutritious of
all foods. Beans and potatoes run
close race for the third place among
valuable and cheap foods, and the
fourth place is shared between fat, salt
pork and cheese made from SKINNED
milk

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A simple Remedy Which VIII Inter-
est Cotarrh Sufferers.

In its earlier stages catarrh is more OF
nuisance than a menace to the general
health. but sooner or later, the disease eX-
tends to the throat bronchial tubes and
even to the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh Is essentially a disease Of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge OF mucus, stop
page of the ncstrils, irritation in throat,
causing coughing, sneezng, gsggng and
frequent clearlngs OF the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
enuffs, salves, etc, often gives temporary
relief. blu. anything like a cure can only
be obtained by a treatment which removes
the catarrhal faint from the blood ana the
disappearance Of the Inflammation frcm
the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
ouirements and which so far has been re-
markably successful In curing cstarrh rs
Stuarts Cstarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hardly
he called secret patent medicine as they
are composed OF such valuable remedies
as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyptol and
similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure
by eliminating from the blood and mucous
surfaces the catarrhal poison.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken internal
IN. allowing them TO dissolve slowly in the
mouth. in this way they reach the throat,
fauces and the entire alimentsry canal.
II desired, they may also be dissolved in
water and used as a dJuche. in addition
to the internal use, but 1t is not at all
necessary 20 use douche; few OF them
ais solved in the mouth daily will be SUI
flcient. However when there is much
stoppage OF the ncae douche made from
these tablets will give immediate relief.
but the regular daily use internally Of
these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the incon
venience OF doucne.
DR.. Bement states that the Internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the
place OF the old plan Of douching, and local
application. and further says that prob
