Federal Court.

Judge Harvey this morning made an
order transferring the suit of James A.
Murray against Robinson Il. White and
John E. Lloyd to the federal court. The

and 1t was signed by A. j. Davis and
John r. Bordeaux as sureties.

tltion for the removal. The action was
brought by Murray to compel White to
make a deed to certain land to him and
to quiet title against Lloyd.

The Care of the Hands.
(London Telegraph.l


Never wash the hands In cold water,
Or too frequently. or with an infer
ior soap. Almond meal Is good sub
stitute. Always dry them thoroughly
II you wish to preserve the skin.
Never go out without gloves, as the
dust and cold are injurious.
The following formula Is good for
whitening the hands: Lanoline, 100
grains; paraffin Glquld). 25 grains; ex-
tract of vanilla, 10, drops; oil OF roses,
! drop. Mix thoroughly and apply
at night.
Simple mutton tallow, scented with
a few drops Of perfume. Is the best
cure for chapped hands. A few drops
of camphor added would be beneficial.
Always sleep In gloves with the finger
ends cut off.
Lemon juice, slightly diluted, rub
bed OH the hands at night will whiten
them, and little glycerin added Will
soften them.
Hardened palms may be softened by
rubbing the following preparation into
them at night: Put 2h ounces OF olive
oil into pot and stand 1t In front OF
the fire; take | ounce of white wax
and toast until it drops into the oil:
stir with a wooden spoon until cold
or in smooth ointment.
Hang nails" generally come from n
dry skin. They require constant
treatment to be cured. Soak the fingers
in warm water every night; then cut
away carefully the. dry and loosene1
skin and apply skin food Or cold cream
to nourish the skin. Use sharp curved
scissors in clipping, SO as not to pull
the loosened skin too deeply, and do not
clip too closely.

Don't Wet His Head.

Here Is some advice for Mamma"
which the New York Journal considers
important enough to print In It's edi-
torial column:
''In every household once In so many
days there comes a solemn moment
when the '1ady of the house" Is dry
ing her hair. She walks around with
her hair streaming over bath towel,
which is around the lady's shoulders.
1t is combed and brushed and rubbed
and twisted and held over the heater
until 1t is thoroughly dried Dry at
last, 1t is rolled back into its origi-
nal shape and the periodical excitement
Is over.
That woman who knows enough to
dry her own hair, and realizes that
she would sneeze her head off IL she
should go out with her hair wet, does
not know enough to give her child
the benefit Of her own experience.
How many poor little creatures you
see with their little yellow wisps of
hair done up in curls at the top and
at the sides with the help of cold
water!
They are brought down fancifully
clothed to be admired with their thin
hair wet and plastered close to their
scalps. They run around the house,
and even go outdoors in the cold
weather, with the hair wet-and the
foolish mother Whines:
"'Baby has a cold 50 often ]
can't make 1t out
~ 'eKeep your ehildren's hair dry. When
you wash their heads, keep them In a
warm place until every bit of moisture
Us rubbed away.
= "If you must have curls and a
foolish pattern to your childs hair.
put on grease or oil in the name of
common sense
you may be excused for not giving
your child fortune, but you can have
no excuse for deliberately giving it
