SoFTENING HARD WATER.
Ruinous to Compilations When Used
 for Washing by Young s r '' Girls. Hsi

Hard water is worse than useless for toilet purposes, for 1t roughens the skin and fails to remove the dirt and dust from the face, and when one goes on from day to day in this way, discour- aging array of "black heads" or more properly comedones. is the result, says the Home Magazine. "
 Even for washing dishes and clothes, hard water is difficult to use, for it fails to unite with the soap to form 8 father. and the labor must be increased to re- move the dirt.
 1t is not always easy to secure rain water, even for the toilet, but ordinary water can be softened for use about the house by adding powdered borax to the wash boiler, dishpan and pail, and for the toilet the water can be softened by adding glycerin. Two or three table spoonfuls added to the bath will soften the water and increase it's cleansing properties; 9 teaspoonful, added to the basin of wash water, and few drops of tincture of benzoin will whiten the complexion in a natural way, and keep 1t free from blackheads. It is while girls are young-from ten to sixteen that they should be careful of their com- plexions, and avoid raising 8 crop of blackheads which it is almost an impos- sibility to remove, when they have once secured foothold.
 Hard water for bathing purposes has ruined more compilations than any one other thing, and girls should make every effort to catch enough rain water for the daily hand bath. Glycerin is very inexpensive, and if one hasn't the rain water, she should always keep 1t on hand. Both glycerin and tincture of benzoin should be purchased by the pint at a wholesale drug store, for in this way its use is less costly. Then. too, these things are useful for many things besides toilet purposes. Tincture of benzoin is the best thing in the. world for toothache, and a little glycerin will relieve a sore throat almost Instantly. With little of each in the basin of wash water, a girl is sure to grow up with & fair complexion and smooth skin unless she fails in other ways to obey the laws of hygiene

 Connecticut militiamen have taken lively interest in the suggestion that, instead of camping at Niantic this summer they join the New York mili- tia in camping and military maneuvers in Orange county in that state.

It is not expected that coal prices will be reduced this year, says Col Hers Weekly. Cheaper coal would mean cheaper production in many inn portant manufacturing and industrial fields. The operators will demand that the miners accept 20 per cent cut in wages, because Of unfavorable industrial conditions. On their side, the miners will demand certain inn provements in mining conditions, and will fight for the present wage scale, which will probably be signed after
 ten or twelve days discussion. John Mitchell will be reelected as tho head of the organized, mine workers Ke. newed effort win be made te, force the anthracite operators bo meet the miners in annual conferences for such an agreement as the bituminous fields have in force. aLneluding tlae families of the miners, i million people are rep. resented on the side of labor in this Indianapolis conference, and every large coal producer in the country by the board of operators.

San Francisco must be q good place
 for union men just at present. Ray
 Stannard Baker in the latest Mcl Clure's Magazine says that the Sin,
 gularity of the situation in. San Fran cisco is that there it is not steel. nor
 steamer, nor petroleum which is mo- nopolized. Mir Baker finds that it is
 labor that is concerned San Fran cisco is in the grasp and at the mercy
 of the most powerful union organiza- ton that has ever existed. The unions own the mayor, the city government,
 and practically everything else. The non-union man has ceased to exist.
 He has gotten out to some other place." as labor leader termed it. and that other place has proved to be
 not another city, but the heavenly regions above. With everything unionized, from musician to grave digger and peanut boy, with the labor from other cities kept out by a care full system of .pessimistic publication, and strikes sure of success with Il union mayor who will not call out the police, the San Francisco workman soon found himself in clover. and to- day father gets his $10 day while even the hod~carrier gets three and a half for eight hours worlz--and this in the industrial city of the United States the cheapest to live in.

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY ?. 1904.

When we come to the manufactur-
 ing situation we touch the weakest spot in the nation, says Banker C1ews. Our great industrial combinations may be the best ever made to do the worlds work: but they have been seriously handicapped at the start by the financial abuses which are too fa- miiiar to everyone In many cases they are too big and cumbersome to adjust themselves readily to changing conditions, and in nearly all cases they are so weighted down with wa tered securities as to make their fll- ture still the most serious financial problem of the future. Some day the adjustment here must be made more complete; but that contingency will probably be postponed to later date should the country continue otherwise prosperous, and in all probability will then. come so gradually as to avoid shock or panic. Further, 1t must not be forgotten that, as said above. the situation in this respect has been inn mensely strengthened by the forced liquidation of 1903, which effectually removed many of the weakest spots.

A TELEPHONE THAT LISTENS

 Prisoner Is Working.
 Sacrificing liberty to inventive gen ius, Frank Thomas voluntarily occu- pies cell at police headquarters in Wichita, Kan, where he is perfecting an apparatus for recording telephone conversation in the absence of the owner of the Instrument, says the Kansas City Times.
 Thomas went to Wichita from Ne braska few weeks ago. He is a painter by trade. He was put in jail there for being drunk. When his five dollar fine had been served out he went to Chief Burt and offered to work for the city in return for place to sleep and for his portion of the prison fare. His offer was accepted. Now he works at rudely constructed table in detention cell.
 "Yes, I am trying to invent some thing that will attend to a telephone while the owner is absent" he said to reporter, while his long, bony fingers worked among numberless pieces of wood and metal. If any one calls you up while you are gone it will tell you when you come back. If the man who called said anything to you it will be there waiting to say itself to you. All you will have to do is to take out your key and unlock little box. It will be done by the power of vibration. I will foctis it like you focus light with a lens. You have heard that a dog trotting across a bridge would break down the bridge if he caught the vibra ion just right. am going to catch i; right i'll this in. strument I have been working on this Instrument for three years
 Thomas is wanderer, at home wherever he happens to be. When he leaves one town to go to another he destroys or throws away all pieces of the machine He carries with him on Iy the ideas.
