ROUGH SKIN.
ADO not wash your face so often.
When your duties are over put on q
veil and go home without washing.
When you arrive home battle your face

ton.
Q.-Is there anything that will cure

A.-Your boils must be cured inter
nally. Get a druggist to put up for
you preparation of wine and SUI
phur, making it strong with the sui
phur. Port wine is the best for the
purpose. 1t will not cost you much.
Take every morning. If you do not
want to take wine then get some mo-
lasses and sulphur prepared in the
same manner. Take four times a week.

Potato Scones.-An economical and
appetizing way of using cold potatoes
is to convert them into scenes. Mash
the potatoes with a little salt, and
knead in as much flour as the pota-
toes will take up, avoiding the least
lumpiness; stir in enough milk to make
stiff dough, roll out very thin, cut
with a biscuit cutter and prick here
and there with a fork. Cook on hot
griddle, turning so as to brown on both
sides; serve hot with butter.

Boiled Puddings.-Boiled buildings
require double the time that baked ones
do to cook. The pudding cloth should
be dipped into scalding water and
Toured well before the batter is put
into it, always remembering to allow
space for the pudding to swell. No
pudding should be allowed to stand out
of the oven after it is mixed. Always
put it into boiling water and keep it
boiling; if more water is needed, add
hot water-never cold.

Warts.-Castor oil will cure warts if
applied to them daily for several weeks.
Or II you are superstitious you can try

CUBAN QUESTION MAY
BE GREATLY DELAYED
Republicans to Ponder on
Hearings and Confer.
Some Talk About a Special Commit
tee to BE Sent to Cuba to
Investigate.

The question Of Cuban reciprocity will
not again be taken up by the Ways and
Means Committee for at least several
days, certainly not until the members oil
! the committee have carefully gone over
the printed reports of the hearings. the
last of which was received from the Pub
lie Printer yesterday.
After the Republican members OF the
committee have read over and digested
the hearings they will confer on the sub
ject of further hearings, and. if possible,
agree on a programme.
Three Favor Reduction.
Thus far but three Republican members
of the committee have declared them
slves in favor of reduction in the tariff
on Cuban sugar ard tobacco. Messrs. Nc
Call. Hopkins. and Long, and they are not
very strong in their declarations.
Talk of Investigating Committee.
There is some talk that a sub-commit
tee of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee will be appointed TO visit Cuba
to make personal investigation of the
condition of the sugar and tobacco plant
ers with the view of enacting remedial
legislation.
Representative Babcock, who is MEM
Der of the Ways and Means Committee,
said yesterday he had heard OF the propo-
sitlon but had no personal knowledge on
the subject.
Chairman Payne denies that he is in
receipt of a request to send such COM
mittee to Cuba, other Republican lead
ers ridicule the suggestion.
The purpose of sending sub-commit-
tee or a special committee to Cuba would
be to prevent any legislation at this ses-
sion and thus delay the opening up of the
tariff question until after the Congress

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
A USEFUL INSTITUTION
Commissioner of Education
Before Senate Committee.
Government Appropriations
Bills Now Pending.

At the meeting of the Senate Commit
tee on Education and Labor yesterday,
Prof W. T Norris, Commissioner of Edu-
cation. occupied most of the time.
He was asked by Judge McComas, chair
man. to give his views upon the results
of the industrial schools established by
the several States under the act of 1862.
Explained the Conditions.
Mr.. Norris explained the relation of his
bureau to those schools. He presented
statistics to prove that they have been
steadily growing in public esteem, in that
the States have added largely to the Fed
eral appropriation; that the attendance
has increased, and the work of instruc-
ton has been much more thorough and
practical
He said that there is still room for
improvement. Some States have done
better than others.
In answer to questions by Senator
Clapp. he said the annual sum now ap-
propriated to each State and Territory
for industrial education is $4,000.
Whites More Advanced.
Asked by Mr.. McComas as to the race
division of the fund he said the bureau
has found some difficulty in that matter,
where the States maintain separate
schools. The basis of division is not
merely numbers. but as to kind of schools
required. The whites are more advanced
and attend the schools of a higher grade
Mr.. McComas called attention to the
fact that while Maryland gets s25 900 only
about 81 400 is spent On the colored
youth. The colcred population. he said, is
one-fifth the total. and ii would seem
unfair to give them less than that pro-
portion.
Mr. Harris was asked to suggest some
ari5 ndment 10 secure the proper use of
funds.

SENATOR PASCO ON
PANAMA CANAL TITLE
Suggests a Commission to
Examine Documents.
Satisfied Himself, but Considers This
the Course for the Govern
Inent to Pursue.

Ex-senator Pasco, a member OF the
Isthmian Canal Commission, was before
the Senate Committee on Inter-oceanic
Canals for two hearings yesterday. He
was questioned chiefly regarding the
possibility of securing an undoubted legal
title to the Panama route.
The hearings were conducted by sub
committee. OF which Senator Foster Of
Louisiana is chairman, appointed to look
into this particular phase of the canal
question.
A Commission to Investigate.
In the course of his remarks, Senator
pasco said that il case the United States
should decide TO accept the Panama Of
fer and buy that canal route for $40 ,0O0,-
900, it would be desirable for the United
States to appoint a commission to visit
Paris, France, and Bogota. Colombia, to
examine all the court records and other
papers to establish beyond question the
absolute right and power of the Panama
Canal Company to transfer it's holdings TO
the United States.
That such evidence could be secured, he
had no doubt from his own investigations,
he said. but il the United States was to
complete the purchase it would be de-
sirable. he thought, to have all the nee
essary documents to uphold the title at
hand
