PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.


- From Our Washington Correspondent.
S January Is, 1904.
Senator Hepburn appeared before
hc Senate Committee on Public
lands and delivered an extended
rgument in support Of his recent
Jill limiting the right of selection
f public lands of the United States
IN lieu Of surrendered railroad land
grant lands.
III Under the close questioning of
1several members of the committee
he brought out many important
Features of the bill. He is quite
Econfident that it will be favorably
reported from the committee.
The Senator has introduced a
bill appropriating the sum Of
zSI7,5oo to the Nez Perce tribe of
Indians under their treaty Of June
III, 1885, and their treaty of June
|9, 1868, which account, according
10 the accounting Of the Indian
Bureau, is due the Nez Perce
tribe.
Hc has also introduced an
amendment to the Indian Appro-
Epriation bill, to reimburse the
Indians in the sum Of $oo5 for
expenses incurred by the tribe
during the last three years in pre-
senting their claims to the
Department.
Interesting reading is often found
in looking over pension bills. Two
of those recently favorably report
cd to the Senate through the efforts
of Senator Hepburn relate to pen
sions for Idaho citizens. One is a
bill increasing to SI6 month the
pension of Honorable H. G. Riggs,
pioneer of the state, who served
in the Mexican War. Had Mr..
Riggs served during the War ol
the Rebellion, it would have been
possible to have secured for him a
pension Of $50 month. 1t has
long been the policy of Congress
to deal more literally, though the
reason is not known, toward the
Civil War veterans than the veter
ans of the Mexican War. Nearly
forty years elapsed before the
Mexican War veterans were grant
ed pensions, and then the rate wa.
only $8 month. A pension o

Senate special committee will
probably recommend an increase.
Senator Hepburn is strongly
advocating the passage of the Ser
vice Pension bill granting all Civil
War veterans, regardless of disa
bility, the sum Of SI2 per month
He says inasmuch as all the
veterans are Of advanced age, they
are practically incapacitated for
hard labor. This bill would save
the soldiers the large expense now
entailed in securing pensions, and
at the same time would greatly
simplify the work of the Pension
Bureau.

considerable time at the War De-
partment, advocating that the
Boise barracks be changed from
temporary to permanent barracks,
and that they be enlarged from a

Chaffee, has recommended this
change to the Secretary Of War.

ELECTRIC LINE GETS
MAIL CONTRACT.

The CHur d Alene & Spokane
electric line has been awarded
the contract to carry the mails
between Spokane and Ceur d.
Alene, beginning March 1. The
compensation is said to be
about $1,000 a year. Mails will
be carried in closed pouches be-
tween Spokane Greenacres, Post
Falls and CGur d'Alene and two
mails will be carried daily except
on holidays and Sundays, when
one mail each way will be hand
led. Now, it is said, these towns
get only one mail a day.
If two new postoffices are es-
tablished at points along the
line of the new road q regular
clerk will probably be placed on
the run. No clerk can be had un-
til there are five postoffices to
serve. One result of the change,
it is said will be that the rural
route from Moab, which now
serves East Spokane, will be re-
arranged SO the mail will go to
East Spokane via the electric
line and thence to Moab and
over the rural route.

THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Inv~igorating Indulgence Espe-
cially Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.

An 1880 bath is the very latest
thing 1t is a bath made Of sweet
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. 1t is a bath
of a previous generation and it is one
which every athlete of the present day
should try, say the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1880 bath take a tub of
hot water and pour into it a quart of
bath vinegar if one can afford it. If
one cannot indulge in this ~extrava-
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
~spOOnfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. 1t drives away rheuma-
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes the
ache out of tired bones.
A rose %geranium bath is recon-
mended to those who have neuralgia
ard sharp aches and pains. There is
something very soothing about the
odOr of rose geranium, 1t lulls the
senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint and is
the bath of baths for the woman with
a weak heart. Let the woman whose
heart does not beat we'll practice walk
inS. Let her take the walking exer-
cises vigorously. Then let her AXE
a bath in aromatic vinegar ard let her
finally steep her nose in a bottle of the
vinegar, and while she is dressing let
a saucer of it stand in the room. This
is the best way 10 get the full scent
of the vinegar and the best results
from it.
CamphOrated baths are much too
powerful for any but the sick. The
person who has sprains or bruises can
take a mild camphorated bath, but it
is not a pleasant bath Dol one which
can be recommended for daily use.
Taken all in all there is nothing quite
as pleasant as the rose g~eranium bath
nor one that is cheaper. A great bot
tie, half a gallon, of the scent can be
made for a dollar and this will last
4 long time.

FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finery Up
IN Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.

A fad Of the moment is to have laced
or embroidered cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely around with ruching.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
the wristbands. When the ruching is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and SO
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One Of the embroidery designs in field
flowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table center piece. Large
centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
$3.50. The edges should be finished with
a broad band of lace. The design is
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a coy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raffia. The design is of clus-
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large punches
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion overs are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered or
Marie Antoinette f~estooned borders, or
Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all
done in exquisite stitches in white. and
brought into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand GRO
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot. The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender. or a
white surface is treated with large dots
in pink or blue.
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
V1oIets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as if in a
bouquet at the back.
A pretty and comfortable kimono may
be made from an old shirt waist. Re-
move the gathers at the waist. Take off
the collar band and cut the neck V-shape.
Remove the cuffs and gathers at the
wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting
color and sew a strip two inches wide
around the bottom of the waist and the
sleeves, up the fronts and around the
neck and your dressing sack is COM
plete.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do any
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping a hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number of years 1 followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much

monty served in hotels and restaurants.
