Forced to Borrow Money.

Ooe of the results of extending the
time for the payment of taxes is that
the State will be forced to borrow
about $4,000 or $4,000 to replen-
ish a depleted treasury until the short
age can be made good when all the
taxes are collected. The State has
salaries as we'll as interest to pay and
has nothing to pay it with, so she is
forced to borrow money to meet her
obligations as they become due.

Different Ways of Resting.

How differently men and women in
dulge themselves in what is called a
resting spell! 81 guess I'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile" but her husband throws him
self upon the easy lounge or sits back
in his arm chair, with hands at rest
and feet placed horizontally upon an
other chair. The result is that his
whole body gains full benefit of the
hour he allows himself from work,
and the wife only receives that indi-
rect help which comes from the change
of occupation. A physician would tell
her that taking ten minutes rest in a
horizontal position, as a change from
standing or sitting at work, would
prove more beneficial to her than any
of her makeshifts at resting.
Busy women have habit of keeping
on their feet just as long as they can
in spite of backaches and warning
pains. AS they say, 81 used to think
l must do thus and so, but | have
grown wiser and learned to slight
things" The first years of housekeep-
ing are truly the hardest, for untried
and unfamiliar cares are almost daily

in n similar manner; finally go back

the hand as it should until this first
button is fastened. Buttons, not hooks
or fasteners of any kind, are used on

TO TELL GOOD CIGARS.
Judges of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.

The sudges of good cigars in this
county are few and far between, says
an expert. The great difficulty with
the people who think they know cigars
is that they lay too much stress on the
color of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference, and you are
just as likely to find one Of the rankest
kind of cigars with the deep black col
or of the genuine Havana as you are
to find bad one among those that are
yellow as straw.
The best way to tell a cigar is by
the feel of it. Take cigar in your
hands and give it a gentle pressure,
holding it close to the ear. If the cigar
is good one, it will be just the least
little bit flexible, and the fingers will
sink into the wrapper. 1t gives forth
no perceptible sound. If the cigar is
hard and close rolled and when placed
to the ear sounds as though you were
pressing straw together, beware. The
best cigars are made of the same leaf
as the wrapper and are closely rolled.
The common cigars are what is known
as filed and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tables where the good cigars
are made. There are some filled cigars
that are good smokes, but you seldom
find Havana or Manila or good Gu,
ban or Key West smoke that is not
rolled. Many people who go into a CT
gar store to get an imported smoke do
not follow up the salesman when be
takes the cigars from the case and arc
consequently often fooled. They are
given domestic brands and are charg-
ed imported prices for them.
These good cigar judges" cannot
tell the difference when there is all
the difference in the world. If you must
have an imported smoke, make the
clerk hand you the boy and look close
ly at the revenue stamp. The stamps
on domestic goods are green and white
while those on the imported boxes are
all yellow and white. Look into the
next cigar cases you see before pur-
chasing an imported cigar. If they
have no boxes in the case to which is
attached a yellow and white stamp
don't attempt to make a purchase. The
clerk will sell you a cigar he calls i'm
ported, but it will not be the real ar

BRUTAL MURDER OF GIRL.
Stabbed, Pounded and Hacked to
Death in Public Street.

Detroit April 10.-Just before mid
night the most brutal murder of re-
cent years in this city was commit
| ted on Thirteenth street, between An
toinette and McGraw streets. A
young girl, who has not yet been
identified, was stabbed and pounded
| to death. Her throat was cut from
ear to ear, knife was thrust into
her brain behind her ear and a dent
in the forehead shows that she had
been dubbed. A resident of the
neighborhood, Harry Jewel, heard
cries and screams, and looking out,
saw a man striking a girl down. After
telling her, and running away short
distance, Jewel says the assailant
turned again and renewed his attack
upon her PROSTATE body. Jewel no
tilted the police, who found the girl
dead. She was apparently a working
ing girl Several people residing in
the vicinity of the murder were taken
to the morgue by the police, but none
of them could identify the girl. Nc
trace of her assailant has been found
up to 1870 o'clock.
Coroner Hoffman says the girl was
in a delicate condition, and he be
lieves that this was the reason she
was killed.
There was absolutely nothing on
her person by which she could be
identified. She was apparently about
20 years of age.
Thirteenth street in the vicinity Of
the crime is very sparsely settled
Harry Jewel was walking along Nc
Graw avenue toward his home, wheI
he heard screams coming from Thir
teenth street. Looking across the va
cant lot, he saw the girl struck down
The murderer ran away and then ap
lparently not sure that he had accom-
plished his purpose, returned, Jewe
says, and again attacked the pros
trate body. Jewel ran TO the house
of his brother-in-law, near by, for as
sistance, and the two men ran across
the lots.
Lying on the sidewalk, they fount
the horribly mutilated body. Thel
they notified the police. An exami

Don't Worry About Being Sick.

One of the best ways to keep in good
health is not to think or worry too
much about it. If you feel strong and
we'll, don't imagine that some invidious
disease may be secretly attacking
your constitution. Many people are
like the inexperienced traveller who
anxiously inquired about the symp-
toms of seasickness and how he should
know when he had it. One generally
knows when he is sick, and frequently
many supposedly alarming symptoms
prove upon investigation to be either
perfectly natural occurrences or of
very slight Importance.

Put Your Gloves on Properly.

A glove with the seams twisted is
anything but neat and does a great
deal to mar a woman's appearance.
The correct way to put on gloves is as
follows: First shake a little soapstone
powder into each finger; then place
your elbow firmly on the table with the
hand upright and the thumb extended
toward the palm. Draw the body of
the glove over the fingers and after
seeing that each seam of the glove is
straight with the lines of the finger
coax each finger into the corresponding
finger Of the glove. Remember that the
appearance of the glove ever after and
of it's wearing possibilities also depend
upon the way you put on the glove for
the first time. Be sure that the stitch
ing on the back of the glove is straight.
Then insert the thumb and look once
more to see if the seams are all
straight; if not, pull the glove off and
begin again. The seam at the top of
the thumb should be in line with the
middle of the thumb nail. Smooth the
wrist neatly. and then put on the other

man in whom there are working envy
and hate.
Camille heard and turned. He rec
ognized Alphonse.
"What you go to the cures for?"
asked Alphonse roughly.
Camille shrugged his shoulders

said.
Alphonse ripped out an oath. what
you put on airs with me for? My
man, my manv BY the holy heaven,

Perhaps it was long training in the
cloister, perhaps it was superior ma
ture, but Camille responded calmly,
"Yes, | will take it back, if you like,
but you must not call me a tramp"
You cannot exercise a devil in a mo-
ment. The game had gone too far.
War was in Alphonse's heart.
81 want to know what for you go to
the cure?. For the banns?' he sneered.
But there was also in Camille's face
the freedom of his new life. Per
haps," he answered meaningly.
"Then, by heaven, you fight me first"
shouted Alphonse and blocked the
way.
An instant later he struck out. 1t
was not altogether an unequal battle,
for, although Alphonse was powerful
and hardened by laborious life Camille
was well knit, supple and had, unlike
most of his comrades in college, been
constant in athletic exercises. Alphonse
discovered this. By a sudden trick Ca
mile, who was being pressed and pun
ished hard, suddenly brought his as
sailant to the ground just as q figure
appeared on the hill above them, the
cure on his way to visit a sick parish
Toner.
The cure called out apprehensively.
At that instant, with a helpless moan,
Camille rolled Alphonse and blood
gushed from his neck. Alphonse then
sprang up and disappeared in the
woods. A moment later the cure knelt
beside the youth, stanching the blood
from the wound. Sleigh bells sounded
near. He raised his head and called
loudly. The cure lifted him up and
felt Candles heart to see if there was
life.
A few minutes later Camille lay in
the cures little room, conscious now
and able to tell, little by little, his
ctr Inv ho ho1 10 tel,
and why he was seeking the cure, but
he did not tell then, and he never told,
whose knife it was that left a scar up
on his neck. People guessed, for AL
phonse never came back to the parish,
but guessing does not put a man in
prison.
The cure was a wise man. There
was but one way now, and he was
sorry that that way had not been en-
| tered on three years before, for the
lives of these two young people had
been on the road to misery ever since
