And he advocates frequent massage with
warm oil to maintain the flexibility OF
the fingers. The cuticle knife he con7
demns scathingly and says that It is only
necessary in cases OF gross neglect, when
the skin has been allowed TO grow up on
the nail and obliterate the half moon en-
tirely. All Of his patrons are instructed
to push the skin back from the nail when
drying the hands after washing, and the
use Of the orange stick 10 push II still
farther back is advised not oftener than
once a week.
Those little hangnails that viii some
times arise he rubs down with pumice.
and the callouses that are often their &C.

way. Olive oil he uses in preference to
cream TO soften the nail and render ID
less brittle; and after the first soaking
Of the hand in warm water he next drops
it into warm oil. Then comes the trim
ming and shaping of the nail. then a
powder polish, and lastly polish given
with the base of the thumb. Artificial
coloring he deplores, saying that enough
circulation can be coaxed into the finger
tip TO render this superfluous.
A very interesting sight Is a set OF
thimbles which he uses TO shape splayed
finger tips. Where the nails have been
neglected and the finger tips have sur
fered In consequence he bandages the tip,
holding the hand high in the air so that
the blood leaves the tips before applying
the bandages.

We all Of us know that the so-called
palmists-those who profess to read ones
entire history, past, present and future,
as well as ones little pet points Of char
Acter, from the lines and marks on the
palms of the hand-we all of us know
that their practices has been decried and
ridiculed time and again. And yet there
Is hardly any one of us who will not be
more or less influenced by the appear
ance Of a hand.
A well-kept hand, no matter what its
size and shape may be, always makes a
favorable impression; while a rough, red
hand, with unkempt finger nails and
rough, ragged edges, will frequently
indeed. ninety-nine times out a possible
hundred-be taken at once as an indica-
ton Of character, and not at all to the
eminent satisfaction Of its possessor,
either.
Now 1t is Just for such careless souls
as these that this article is especially
written. The care Of the hands need not
take more than fifteen minutes a day
that is, on an average-for there will be
days when five minutes viii suffice, but
for the weekly "going-over," which will
include n thorough manicuring, at least
half sn hour will be required.

A good nail brush, not too narrow and
not too stiff, will help to keep the hands
in good condition, for the friction Of the
brush will improve the circulation, and
in the case Of thin or scrawny hands
should be used as often as possible;
dry rub with the brush every now and
then adding TO the good effect.
When the hands are washed, particu-
lar attention being paid to the vicinity
of the finger nails, rinse them in fresh
water, or hold them beneath the running
water. Then pat, don't rub, them dry
with the towel; and after they are en-
tirely dry then the time for friction
comes I'm. After the hand is dry, rub
all you like, this serving to remove any
loose particles of dead or deflorescent
skin, and leaving the hand smooth.
IF the skin is at all inclined to chap or
to be too dry an oil rub will work won
ders, and is best applied Immediately
after washing. The ordinary olive oil
that one uses at tables is perhaps best,
but if this be deemed an extravaganza
then sweet oil may be used. The girl who
likes perfumes may take her bottle of
sweet ola four-ounce phial may be had
for a dime-and get the druggist to put a
few drops Of bergamot or some other pen
etrating essence, and the odor will cling
to the hands, giving out a vague perfume

professional hairdressers-most OF whom
are men-have taken up the manicuring
business. and attend to their patrons
hands at the same time when they come
ito make the coiffure," as they phrase 1t.
One Of the best in the business-he has
a charming shop on the Place Nendome-
says that it is the fundamental rule OF
his procedure never TO let metal touch
the finger tips. He claims that there Is
something deleterious in the metal to the
substance Of the nail; and so he uses
merely an emery file to shorten and shape
the nail. OF course, IL the nail be alto
gether too long he does not hesitate to
clip it off with a steel scissors, just Ike
anybody else; but his regular patrons
and each has her appointed day and hour
do not require this.
Another point that this Partisan makes
is that the nail should never be clipped
at the corners, advancing as reason for
this theory that the finger tip needs just
the support OF the nail at this point to
keep IL from spreading and flattening in
what he regards as a very ugly fashion
indeed. The nail that is filed down to

after washing the hands will soon check
this tendency by restoring the pores Of
the skin TO their original size and elias
ticity. A little pure alcohol, too-the
grain alcohol, never the wood alcohol,
which is a dangerous poison-will keep
the skin in elastic CO dition and help to
ward off the dire day when the hands
begin to show indubitable signs Of age in
their creased and wrinkled appearance.
The hands are put to such many and
varied uses that we cannot begin to pay
too much attention TO their care and
well being.
Now, for the time when the general
going-over comes around. Here a bowl
Of pretty hot water has a piece of some
good pure white soap thrown in it, or
else the green soap Of the surgeon is
used: this latter being almost semi-liquid
it melts Immediately. A drop or two Of
spirits Of ammonia viii help, and there
are some French manicurists who always
put in a little spirits of camphor. but just
the logical reason for this they do not
make clear.
In Paris. where great attention is paid
to the hand, its care and culture, most Of
the manicures are men. and some of
them talk very interestingly, indeed, upon
their subject. One could count upon the

hostility to him. They are more strong

than they are to Mr.. Sweeny, but they
desire to eliminate both of them.
Their reason for opposition to Mr..

SAM HILL JOINS IN REQUEST.
Wires to Judge BaIlineer Urging Hin
to Enter Mayoralty Race.
The Seattle Times SAYS:

The Seattle Times says:
Sam Hill. president of the Seattle
Gas & Electric company and son-in-
law of James J. Hill, was one of the
leading business men and politicians
Of Seattle who fastened to crawl I'M
der the Ballinger tent as soon as he
learned that the election of Mr.. Bal
linger would be satisfactory TO the
large corporate interests with which
he is identified by both financial con-
nection and personal sympathy.
Mr.. Hill is not in Seattle and the
rumor has been in circulation for sew
eral months that he would not again
return to this city to reside. This ru-
NOR is denied by Mr.. Hill. He is in
Washington, D. c., where he went as
the representative of the Washington
Good Roads association, an organ
"a alton instituted by him as a medium
through which he might form an ac-
Quaintance with prominent farmers of
the state. But his absence has not
alienated him from an intense interest
in the Seattle political situation, and
when he was Informed by his Seattle
associates that Ballnger would be
acceptable, and probably accepted he
wired to Mr.. Ballinger from the ma
tonal capital urging the latter to be-
come a candidate.
The directorate of Mr.. Hills gas
company includes the names of James
Goldsmith and ]. D. Farrell. Mr.
Goldsmith has, since the Ballinger
movement was instituted, been one of
the most enthusiastic advocates of

Talso an enthusiastic advocate Of the

WASHINGTON CONGRESSIONAL
DELEGATION CANNOT AGREE
ON JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
Proposition to Have Another Fedora
Judge Without Dividing State
May Prevail.

The new federal judicial district fol

fire at the national capitol and there
does not seem to be much prospect o.
the Washington delegation in con
gress getting together on the subject
The Observation-Disclosures special CORE
spondent in Washington says concern
ing the matter:
NO agreement has yet been reached
in regard to legislation intended tC
create new federal judicial district
in the state of Washington. anC
unless the senators and representatives
from the state unite as to the geo.
graphy of the proposed division, the
judiciary committees of both houses
will continue 10th TO take up the pro-
ject. The advocates of eaSt-and-WeS
and of northand south as the direc-
ton of the dividing line are firm in
their respective positions.
One suggestion has been made
which, although unusual if not unpre-
redented commends itself to some
Il
This is that there shall be no new
district but that an additional judge
shall be appointed for the whole state
to have concurrent jurisdiction with
Judge Hanford, and to relieve the
present judge of part of the present
work.
The whole matter has been aggra-
waited in some quarters by the prospect
that Charles Bedford, of Tacoma, will
be candidate, favorably considered by
Senator Foster at least. for the addi-
tional judgeship provided congress au-
thorizeS a second district or a sec
ord judge.
Mr.. Bedford was for some time clerk
of the Puyallup Indian commission, at
a salary of $1,000 a year. and was dis
missed-ostensibly because no clerk
was needed. but really because of his
activity in matters of, federal patron
age when he was here two years ago

terror department.. Mr.. Bedford is not
regarded as good judicial timber, but

least two or three more or less intlu-

ANkENY'S FRIENDS WORRIED
Physical Condition Of Junior Senator
Causes Much Uneasiness.

Despite the denial from Walla Wal
pers: silently circulated that Senator
Ankenys illness is causing no little
uneaSineSS to his friends, says the
Seattle Times. For several months
Mr.. Ankeny's health has not been of
the best and his condition at the time
congress convened prevented him from
being present to be sworn in for nearly
two weeks. He returned to Walla
Walla for Christmas and has not yet
been able to go back to Washington.
Senator Ankeny is nearly so years of
age, and while he has an iron cOnsti-
tuition, he has for years led a strenuous
life. devoting much personal attention
of a trying nature to both his business
and his political affairs.
In his business life Senator An
keny has always been recognized as
a man of the strictest honor and integ
rity and the presumption is natural
that he has prevented his ardent, and
in some instances INSCRIPTIONS mana
gers and supporters from committing
acts in his interest which would mill
tate against his popular strength and
support. Should he continue bedrid-
den through the period of threatened
bitterness of the approaching fight
for the control of the state republican
organization. the lack Of his restrain
ing influences may cause his managers
to commit acts of indiscretiOn.

!as established himself on a good
footing at the White House. and is
personally friendly with the president
md with Postmaster General Payne.
Moreover, MIR. Croker believes that
President Roosevelt Will be renom-
mated and reelected, and that oppo-
3ition to him in Washington would be
4 fatal party mistake.
Mr.. Croker and his lieutenants
will probably use as their chief argu-
ment that Mr.. Sweeny, by reason of
his identificat ton with Standard Oil
interests, will be hostile to President
Roosevelt's denomination and that he
can not be trusted. To certain eX-
tent. probably they do fear that
Welt delegate, but back of that is their
determination to crush the ambitions
of Mr.. Sweeny and of Mr.. Hopkins
They Mstrust Hopkins.
Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Croker have
no use for each other politically. The
only thing in common between them is
opposition to Gov. Mcbride. Mr. Hop
kins owes his appointment as United
States marshal to Senator Foster. Mr..
Crocker who is close to Senator Fos-
ter has never forgiven or forgotten the
fact that Mr.. Hopkins drilled with the
Wilson machine in Spokane county
two years afO, when t was the wish
of the Foster organiZa ton, and presu-
mably of Senator Foster himself. that
he should drill with the Foster-An-
keny combination in this county.
1t is generally believed. moreover,
that Mr.. Sweeny is seeking to get
keny when the latter's term expires.
and that constitutes an additional rea-
son why MI Croker should try to
snuff him out early in the game. A
significant fact is that every Ankeny
man in Spokane save those close to
Colonel W. NJ. Ridpath, is opposing
Mr.. SWeeny's ambition. Colonel Rid
path and his friends, having a guber
material campaign ON hand, naturally
are trying to keep out of the national
delegate fight.
An Apparent Mistake.
So far, however, as the fight on Mr..
SWeeny is concerned. it would appear
to an outsider that Mr.. Croker has
made one mistake in Judgment. He is
favoring the single convention idea, !
