Students OF English history are remind
cd by tho conviction OF Colonel Lynch
tint several centuries have passed since
n mcmbor OF tho British Parliament has
been put to death for high treason. The
last cnse that was In any special way
similar TO that OF Colonel Lynch was
that Of Lord Lovat who assisted Stuart
In tho uprising in Scotland In the year
l745. He was put to death In the Tower
Of London, where Sir Walter Raleigh and
many other noted men, as well rs wo-
men, were beheadcd. and he was the last
person to be behcaded in that place.
Tho antiquity OF the statute under
loso his life was brought out in the nd
dress OF tho Lord Chief Justice on De-
cember 10th last to the grand Jury which
had been lnpaneled to deal with the in
dlctment In the case Lord Alverstonu
said: las Cor back as tho year 1351-that
under which Arthur Alfred Lynch is In
dlctcd was passed. and that statute has

One OF the most disgusting and con-
temptible characters who has appeared
before tho American public for many q
day Is the fellow Doblin. who sworo
before the House Naval Committee that
he had offered Congressman Lessler n
brlbe of 5000 from I,elnuel ELI Qmgg
and afterwards swore that the whole
story was false. The fellow seems to
be absolutely without tho moral sense.
lIc thought 1t no crime to offer to buy
n congressman's vote. and he thought
1t 40 crime to lie about 1t. He did not
even know that perjury was criminal
offenso. Yet this man has been some-
what prominent In New York politics.
lIe was well acquainted with Mr.. Quigg.
and no WAS the personal friend of Con-
gresham Lessler. Lessler has confessed
the intimacy and has said that he was
under obligations to Doblln.
The whole story makes interesting
reading and cxcites tho wonder Of all
honest citizens. The idea that n scoun-
drel like Dobln should be an influential
factor in Northern politics and the in
innate of member Of Congress Is
enough. at least to make honest men
open their eyes.

BEAUTY CULTURE AT HOME.

Some people say that domestic work
spoils beauty, and many women who
really would enjoy active occupation In
their own homes are hindered by the
fear Of spelling their loneliness. Let
them be treasured; housework in mod
Grafton is one Of the best ways Of cul-
tivating beauty.
Bedmaking is a magnificent exercise
for the figure. Shoulders, body and
limbs are all brought into play and de-
veloped by mattress turning and pill
low shaking. The folding Of sheets and
blankets and the spreading Of them on
the bed all give the arms just the right
exercise to develop the muscles to the
soft roundness and pretty curves which
are the chief beauty of woman's arm.
For arms. fingers and wrists the
washing and wiping Of teacups and
saucers is admirable exercise. The wa.
ter should be fairly hot, and soda, which
is injurious to the skin, need not be
used. The water, combined with the
exercise, isfespecially valuable in giving
suppleness to the joints Of the fingers.

a little girl. Whatever Nellie's private
heart griefs may have been, however
she may have longed to return to her
own land during her life in England,
she wisely said nothing, nothing at all,
like her father. the silent man. But
when the English husband died, when
her good father-in-law, too, had been
laid to rest and she had done all her
duty by them both, our Nellie gathered
up her children and came back to
America to live Here one Of her first
acts was to apply to be reinstated in
her American citizenship. That simple
act showed where her heart had been
all the time.
The request Of woman to be rein
stated in American citizenship was
without precedent, and it required a
special resolution Of congress to do 1t.
But congress would have done that and
far more for the daughter of General
Grant. The act was passed, and Nellie
Grant Sartoris and her three children
are American citizens. Algernon, the

THE CHRISTMAS CLEARING
UP OF MRS. MiNxEY.

AARS. MINXEY was tired to death.
IV 1t was the day before Christmas.
and she was not half ready. She
nad ordered five costumes made over.
and only two were done. Besides. thera
were three more gowns-a taffeta :
cashmere and a voile--not even vet rin-
ped up. There was the room she had
kept her ancestors china and furniture
in to be busted the spare blankets and
furs and rugs had not been. taken out
of their moth wraps, and the linen
chests she examined twice a year han
not been overhauled. The drapings of
the coy corner, the spare bedroom and
the dining room and parlor mantel-
piece had to be taken down and busted
and the lace curtains changed, and NOT
a soul to do it but Mrs. Minxey.
She sank into an easy chair that had
to have the cover taken or before
Christmas and cleaned and put back
again. Mrs. Minxey's eye fell upon a
newspaper page as she sank, exhausted.
into the armchair. An article head
ed "The Slavery of Things" caught
her eye. 1t set forth how women ara
slaves to possessions, abject slaves
chained to the care OF things they do
not need or use. "Let us sinplffvlss
said the writer. LET us have in our
houses only the articles we actually
heed and get rid of all the rest-the

posed to belong to us. On the con.

we Kept in our homes only the clothing
