go to the Auditor, who examines them,
sees that they are drawn under the
proper appropriation and then issues
warrants, signed by himself, and only
colectable from the Treasury by the
persons to whom issued, or assigned.
The warrants do not pass through the
hands of the head of a department.
The money is paid on the warrants at
the Treasury and not at the depart
ment office.
The statements made before the Com
mission were all true, but they con-
tanned an innuendo. There was a large
sum to dsburse, true. But it did not
pass through the Attorney Generals
hands The innuendo was that some
money might be diverted from its legi-
innate course to his own pockets, and
as he was a relative of the Governor,
some of it might go in that direction.
1t was insidious, it was low-bred
idea, but it was nonetheless put for
ward, and put forward with the dis
tinct purpose of undermining the char
acter of the Attorney General. But 1t
has melted away before the sun of
truth.
The Attorney General handled the
leprosy question, Iwilei and many 9TH

he ceased he had created an impress

EECTS rs. FICTION.

Attorney General Dole's remarks be-
fore the Commission yesterday were
calm and dignihed. The personal at
tacks and innuendos upon aud with re-
gard to his department were met and
controverted. The attacks had been
the more insdious since in many cases
they contained a half truth. Take for
instance the statement that the Attor-
ney General had very large sum of
money at his disposal, that he gave no
bond and that he was a relative of The
Governor.
The Attorney General is by no means
the only man who has charge of a
large sum of money, Every head Of a
department or of a bureau has large
sum of money to administer. The SUI
perintendent Of Public Works has a
far larger sum to disburse, and a far
larger number of employees to appoint.
He gives no bonds. The Superintend.
ent of Public Instruction has charge Of
large funds, but he gives no bonds,
neither does the President of the
Board of Health, or others having sim
liar responsibilities.
The fact is that none Of these Off
cials handle any money. The Legis-
lature appropriates money for specific
purposes, not dollar of appropriation
can be spent for any other purpose
than that directly set down. Not a
dollar is paid directly by the head Of
a department or any of his clerks. Tho
head of a department looks over the
various bills of his department, and
finding them correct signs them. These

Women and Clothes.

One of the fetinine propensities for
which men express hearty detesta
ton is the inclination evinced by most
women for what may be called cloth
talk. says an exchange. In public
places Of all kinds churches even not
excepted, men aver that where two
or more women are grouped there in
evitably will the ears of the helpless
passerby or the ear of the theater
neighbor be asSailed by gossip about
materials and cuts. Even intelligent
women-college bred ones men say
are bitten with this frenzy for perpet-
ual dwelling upon the wherewithal
with which they shall be clothed, so
that conuguity 10 pairs or groups Of
women is something TO be avoided If
one would escape boredom.
1t must be admitted that the charges
OF the men are not libels. Most women
do talk and think about clothing to an
extent that leaves comparatively little
tine for the serious consideration of
other subjects But. given the condi-
tons Of social life as they exist today
il is not clear how much less time could
be given to the matter. The unwritten
law for women in every grade of life
is that they shall be ornamented, and,
albeit the majority of women, because
of circumstance and native endow-
ment. fail utterly to attain this ideal.
they are not freed from the obligation
TO strive to fulfill their decorative des-
tiny. At every turn-unless ;heir tent
be pitched in the wilderness-are they
reminded that, whatever their mental
attainments. it is expected of them
that they shall take on an interest in
dress. and the woman who refuses to
do so is regarded as unwomanly and
doWdy.

Women have a special aptitude for
dentistry, and it is a profession that is
admirably suited to them in many re-
spects." said a dentist "Other coun-
tries have recognized this fact much
more generally than ours. and Germa-
ny. Sweden and even Russia have
many women dentists.
The first woman in this country TO
receive a diploma in dentistry was
Miss Mairsel. who was a graduate of
the Ohio Dental college in 1860. The
second was Nine. Hirschfield. who was
graduated from the Pennsylvania Den
tai college in 1869 and afterward went
TO Berlin. where she was made court
dentist and had the care of the teeth Of
the royal children.
There are now nearly 500 women
dentists in the United States. and they
receive exactly as much pay for their
work as men do.
"The qualifications for success in
dentistry are good education, cult
waited brain, tact, patience and gentle
ness and a thorough control of the
nerves. The last quality is as likely to
be possessed by women as men, as it
Is wholly matter of temperament"

for that parish for six years, and when
she left to live at Tunbridge Wells she

fact that today no less than 80 poor

The Tongue md the Home.

The habit Of answering back" is as
reprehensible in grown people as in
children and should be suppressed by
every person anxious to lead a peacea-
bic and harmonious life. The "scrappy'
household. in which each member
strives for the last word in the argu-
ment. is most anxious TO maintain an
independent course of action, is afraid
lest he shall he imposed upon. is not Il
happy household. nor can it ever be-
come such a one 1t is an odious place
to visit. and the separate individuals
that compose it can always have a
pleasanter atmosphere and time some
where else. yet it is but seldom that
any one will give up the habit or as a
whole reform and institute a new or
der of things.
There is hut one way TO produce e
lasting result. and that is TO withhold
your tongue" on each and every occa-
sion when bitter or sharp words arise
TO the surface. The old adage, 1t takes
two to make a quarrel" is invariably
true. and while silence is an aggravat
ing response to an irritating remark its
effect is inevitable. The temptation to
repudiate an unjust accusation is
strong. but if it is unjust it will be re-
GREETED more than if a quarrel resulted

soul that you have planted the seeds

. ARENTAL SHORTCOMINGS.
A short Sermon on the Correction
and Praise of Children.

Not only are parents often inconsist-
ent in their methods of reproof and
chastisement. but they often display
an impatience which has an i'll effect
upon the child. 1t is great and lofty
calling, that of being a parent, and re-
quires godlike attributes-a mind that
rises above all pettiness. a mind clear
and impartial. before which the tiny
offender may appear. not an indulgent,
unreasoning judge who sees in the lit
tie one only the present. with the dis
comfort and trouble to the judge which
will come from the consideration Of the
case, but an all seeing judge who, look
ing into the future, will see the warp
and twist that will come to the charac-
ter from remissness in correcting the
child's misdeeds, a judge that can re-
call his or her own childhood and so
can enter the child mind and know
how the misdoing-is working
upon the senses.
Unhappily, too often anger arouses
the parent to punishment, and the
child is descended upon not for correc-
ton. but as a vent for wrath. An ex-
posion of anger. whether in the young
or old, is one Of the greatest injuries
that a person can inflict upon himself.
1t poisons not only the mental condi-
ton. but the blood, and throws the
whole human mechanism out Of order,
says The Delineator.
To correct child in anger is as
wrong as for a Judge to pronounce a
verdict from pure personal motives.
The adult anger begets the child's an
ger and makes it stubborn and rebel
lous. In correcting the faults of a
child. whether moral or otherwise, all
nagging should be avoided. The child
becomes callous and hardened by such
frequent and unnecessary correction.
The child should be strengthened in
right doing by praise. Parents cannot
too often recall to mind that they are
to the child perfect beings clothed with
omnipotence and that they owe it to
their offspring to keep up the pleasing
and useful fiction as long as possible.

Water.

The best water for drinking and alb
lutions is rainwater caught on a clean
surface in pure atmosphere. Hard
water contains sulphate and carbonate
acid. Boiling lessons the hardness by
driving off the carbonic acid and throw
ing down the salts. Among the dis
eases caused by impure water are ty-
phoid dysentery, cholera, diarrhea, goi-
ter and lead poisoning. Goiter is said
to be developed. if not produced. by
drinking water that has passed through
magnetism limestone. Pure water does
not affect lead in cisterns and pipes,
but water containing air forms oxide of
lead. and this, being dissolved, acts poi

Excessive Dlushing,

Many women suffer much annoyance
from excessive blushing and become SO
sensitive that they dread to meet stran-
gers or go into society. This habit of
coloring up the instant the unfortunate
being is addressed is due to extreme
nervousness or self consciousness. If
it is the latter. the mind can in a meas
ure overcome the difficulty, and care
full attention to diet and daily tepid or
salt water baths will also do much to
remedy the trouble Outdoor exercise
is of the utmost importance to keep the
body in perfect condition, and all high
ly seasoned and stimulating foods and
drinks should be avoided. Tea and cof-
fee when taken in moderation are not
harmful, but that does not mean a

Housekeepers May Do 1t as Well as o
Professional Butcher.

Little though one may think, the
process OF making a boneless ham is
quite fine art and one that requires
no small degree Of skill in the under
taking. In fact, 1t is not every one
who can bone" a ham successfully.
In the event housekeeper unfamiliar
with the art of removing the bone
from hams were to undertake the job
she would be almost certain to begin
operations by first of all splitting the
ham open and endeavoring to carve out
the bone by cutting around it. The re-
suit would be failure and vexation of
the worst sort, to say nothing of ruin
ed ham. The proper way to remove
the bone would never suggest itself TO
the average housekeeper.
The operator stands the ham on end
against a supporting block and pro-
ceeds to carve around the bone from
one end as deep as it is possible for
him to run his hand and knife down
into the flesh and around the bone.
Having reached the extreme limit (as
far, in fact. as it is possible to extend
the knife. he reverses the ham and
begins cutting around the bone from
the other end, cutting downward until
he reaches the point that he attained
in cutting from the end on which he
began. the entire operation being sci
entifically correct and on the principle
of skinning an animal. The bone then
slips out clear and smooth, free from
any adhering flesh.
AS soon as this is done stout twine is
wrapped around the ham and drawn
taut completely closing the aperture
left by the removal of the bone. The
twine is thus made fast and the ham
laid away for day or two, at the end
of which time the hole has closed so
neatly that, in slicing the ham, it is
difficult to determine the exact spot
from which the bone was removed.
This is the proper mode Of making
boneless ham. and with little prac-
tice any housekeeper can learn to do
the work as well as professional
butcher. They will observe that first
of all the bone is surrounded by tis-
sue, and by starting the operation from
the ends they will be surprised with
what facility this tissue, dividing the
bone from the flesh, peels loose from
the former.

A case recently reported in the pub
lie prints OF a serious attack of blood
poisoning. the source of which was
traced to verdigris found on a metal
doorknob. is one more warning for eter-
nal vigilance in the way of cleanliness
in every part of the house. The partic-
ular doorknob in this instance referred
10 was in a public building and was
probably nobody's care. The illness
resulting from it is an alarming warn
ing 10 housekeepers to watch for SINH
lar dangerous possibilities in their own
domain. 1t also emphasizes the fact
that a cut or abrasion Of any kind on
the skin means that the greatest care
should be exercised as to what comes
IN contact with it until the place is
healed. Not long ago a case of blood
poisoning at a hospital followed the

Parents are too apt to neglect their
c,..ilrea's first teeth. They know that
they are bound to drop out in time
whatever care is taken of them. SO it
seems foolish to fill them or take any
special pains to make them last But
there IS many a misShapen mouth that
bears witness to the fallacy of that
reasoning, The milk teeth are needed
TO keep a place for the permanent
teeth. and if they are lost prematurely
the jaw will not grow properly. and the
new teeth will be 80 crowded that they
must turn sidewise or be forced out of
line. Furthermore. the child's food must
be masticated as well as the grown
persons if he would be saved from a
life Of dyspepsia. And finally. for the
sake Of the permanent teeth, the child
should early form habits of mouth
cleanliness.
