ROAST HIM. Z,

A newspaper man was asked to rub- fish an article roasting citizen. Certainly he said to the caller, what shall I write?' He was fur nished with an outline of what was wanted, and wrote an article that was a scorcher. That's splendid" exclaimed the man, delightedly, when. the article was read to him. That's right; that'1 make his olN hair crinkle' All right,' said the editor; 'let me see, what are your initials?'' Good heavens, ,",said the citizens, you are not going to sign my name to that?" "Why not?' asked the editor. "I wouldn't have anyone know that I>had anything to do with that for the world: 1 can't afford to get into fray with mysneighbors. :" The editor smiled benevoiently and said: "Why should get mixed up in a scrap that does not concern me? Why should you expect me to assume the blame of all publication of such an article to which you are afraid to sign your name?" The man stopped his paper and went away mad. And such is Iife.-From an Exchange.

Three of MT McKinley's nominations to be brigadier- generals Bell and Grant-held up temporarily, were yesterday confirmed. All the other nominations for generals, including that of Miles. to be lieutenant-general, have been previously favorably re- ported to the senate and Were at once confirmed, but the committee on military affairs, after several members had expressed the opinion that these three officers had not seen sufficient service to entitle them to promotion over many older and more experienced officers, decided to delay action upon the nominat tions until q further inves- tigaton could be made of their mili- tary records. Wood was promoted over more than 300 officers and Bell over more than 1000, while Fred Grant, although he is now serving in the Philippines as a brigadier-g of volunteers, is regarded as practical ly a civilian.

FOR CHI HANDS.

l The season of chapped hands is up-
 on us. and it is therefore timely to suggest that the discomfortS arising
 from this source can be. almost entire | ly avoided All that is needed is that
 the hands should be thoroughly rinsed in running water after they have been washed with soap. The hands, indeed, should never be washed III still water. 1 This practice, so common as to be al most universal, is chiefly responsible for the rOughening of the hands, and for producing the uncomfortable So- called "chapped' condition of these useful members, q condition directly resultant from the alkai remaining in the water from the soap. To prevent this the hand washing should be ac- complshed under a running faucet, which is also like the rain or shower bath, much more wholesome, as well as more tidy, than any other plan. Some radicals ill this matter believe that it would be a service to mankind if plumbers could be induced to omit the plugs from wash bowls, proceed ure not likely to be accomplished at the present stage of popular education.
 In the contemplation of water the hu- man mind seems to revert at once to still water. q trait we have probably | inherited from our savage ancestors,
 who had no opportunity of applying water save from ponds, rivers and lakes.
 Money expended in pure soap, it should be added. is well laid out. The purest soap to be had is none too good,
 and care should be taken to secure it,
 but whatever soap is used see that the
 hands are thoroughly rinsed and after
 ward perfectly drled.-Providence l Journal.

A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.

 By that time women will be all six feet in height, many of them con sderably over, while the average height of man will be five feet noth- ing. Woman will be strong and lusty, broad and heavy in build, and will be very proud of her large feet, thick wrists, powerful limbs and great mus cular development, while men Will have grown vain of their trimly-cor- seted waists, nice pink and white con- plexions and soft voices.
 Love will not have been complete ly done away with, though sentiment will have given away to common sense. Every woman will be required to marry and support two husbands, one of whom must be a useful. domes- ticated creature, capable of tending the children and looking after the house. hold (while the wife is away in the city earning good money to keep the home together), and the other Will De Il better looking. and therefore more ornamental creature (not a general utility man like the 'housekeeper) ), gentleman help to the mistress ana ruler of the mansion, and keep thlhSs up to the mark generally.
 women a century hence Will all wear 'bloomers,' both literally and hg- uratively speaking; any woman trans, gressing by appearing in long-talieu skirt will be condemned to act as pup lie street scavenger for as long pc, riod as the local council shall deter mine. Women will also wear mus tache, and the faces of men will grad ually become smooth. Cooks will nc longer be at a premium. as tiny tao' loids of food will take the place of the elaborate dishes of the past.

The republicans of the committee were di- vided. and Mir Richardson quickly took advantage of the opportunity and scored democratic victory. There is a republican scheme to kill this bill.

MINISTER WU A MATCHMAKER

Minister Wu takes credit to himself for having brought about a recent mo- table wedding in Washington, that of the daughter of q United States Sena- tor.
 Il attended a marriage ceremony about q year ago. Minister Wu tells it, and among the bridesmaids was Miss B--, the daughter of Senator B.. After the ceremony there was q reception. and in the course of 1t l said to Miss B. I suppose 1 shall have the pleasure of attending your wedding soon:' The young lady said there was no prospect of such an event. Why don't you get married? I asked. She replied that she could not do so until some one asked her. Oh" said l, that c;Gl be arranged very easily. I'll attend to it.
 Il turned to a nice looking young man, who had been what you call in this country the best man, and said to him: Wouldn't you like to marry this young 1ady?' He said he would be delighted. There I said to Miss B, this young gentleman. through me, asks you to accept him. We all laughed, and that was the end of it at the time. A few weeks afterwards I met Miss B at a reception, and she said to me: Minister Wu, that was q novel thing for you to do. had only been introduced to that gen tleman d day or tWO.'
 Well. couple of weeks ago I re- ceived the wedding cards for Miss B-'s wedding, and l said l would go and see what kind of husband she had taken. When l saw the we'd l ding party come into the church, there was the young man for whom l had l oh as known his name when l made the l proposal. 1 think I can say that 1 am what you call matchmaker.

The Indiana man who stole a horse and sold it to the county sheriff had nerve if he had neither honor nor sense.

 The doctrine of doing. evil for good to grow out of it may sometimes seem to be justified, but 1t is none the less dangerous for that. However good in- tentions may be, the usual result of doing evil is more than evil.
