Red Arms.

The skin of the upper parts Of the
arms is often rough and red and there
fore source Of annoyance to the own
er. The arms should be bathed every
night with hot water to which little
ammonia has been added and then
well rubbed with a well soaped loofah.
Dry thoroughly by rubbing with tow
ell, the object being to set up glow.
Rough, red arms are generally caused
by poor circulation, and the rubbing
will help to remedy this. The arms
should never be allowed to become
chilled. so that long wooden sleeves
must be worn and all tightness avoid
ed around the armhole and wrist.
When the arms have been dried take
a little glycerin and lemon juice and
with the palm Of the hand rub it in.
Keep rubbing until the skin no longer
feels sticky. In the morning wash the
arms again with hot water, soap and
a loofah and rinse in clear tepid wa
ter. Dry well, dust over with a good
powder and give final rub with soft
chamois leather.

WILL DIRECT At
TENTIoN TO IRRIGATION
SCHEME IN THAT COUNTY.
Work Will Be Carried on by the En-
gineers During This Spring
and Summer.

The work of the federal irrigation
engineers in the state of Washington
this year, will be directed especially to-
ward the Yakima project is the report
that comes from Washington City.
The Palouse project, which is one of
the most attractive schemes for the
reclamation of arid lands anywhere,
is held up for the present on account
of the obstacles in the way of securing
the necessary rights for the establish
ment of a reservoir in the Washtucna
coulee 1t is hoped that this difficulty
will be overcome before long, but in
the meantime special attention will be
given to clearing the way for irriga-
ton on larger scale in the Yakima
valley.
There are two feasible schemes of
large magnitude in the Yakima valley.
These are the Teton Cowiche scheme
to irrigate about $4,000 acres situated
from ten to twenty miles west of North
Yakima, the water supply to be taken
from the Teton river; and the Led
better scheme for the irrigation of
about 10000 acres lying along the
lower Yakima valley below Kiona.
Reservoirs for storage will be neces-
sary in both cases.
Owing to the development of irriga-
ton projects by private companies and
to various vested rights of land own
ers and others, the Yakima project pre-
sents difficulties which are not en-
countered on SO large a scale anywhere
else. Now that the state legislature
has passed an irrigation code, although
not entirely satisfactory to the fed
eral authorities, it is hoped that the
obstacles which have hindered the
government projects in the Yakima
district may soon be overcome. Engi-
neer Il. A. Noble and his assistants will
devote their attention largely to this
work during the coming spring and
summer.

MALHEUR IRRIGATION PROJECT
WILL BE DISCUSSED AT
PENDLETON.
Report of Engineer Whistler to Be
Discussed by Consulting Board
at That Time.

On April 80 the board of consulting
engineers of the United States reclaim
for the purpose of acting on the plans
presented by John T. Whistler on the
Umatilla and the Malheur projects. 1t
is the rule for the board to meet at
points as near as possible to where
the proposed work is to be done in
order to allow of the fullest investiga-
ton possible, and by meeting here the
engineers will have all the plans and
data of the local office at their disposal
and will also be so that they may make
a personal inspection Of the lands to
be reclaimed.
While it is not definitely known
what men will constitute the board
that will meet there, it is probable
that they will be A. P. Davis, assist
ant chief engineer; D. G. Henry, con-
sulting engineer for Oregon and Wash
ington; A. j. Wiley, consulting engi-
neer for Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and Wyoming, and John T. Whistler,
district engineer for Oregon. 1t is also
probable that o. H. Ensign, electrical
expert for the Pacific coast will be
present to advise.
According to Mr.. Whistler the first
three men mentioned above will be the
deciding power of the board, he him
self acting more as an informant than
as a member Of the board.
The principal object of the coming
meeting of the consulting board, &C
cording to Mr. Whistler, is to act on
the Malheur project. This matter will
be taken up first and disposed of.
However, it is possible that the board
may have time to investigate the UNA
tilla project at the same meeting; but
should they not be able to do SO the
board VII meet again within a short
time for that purpose.

Candles aS Bullets.

A difference Of opinion seems to have
arisen over the effect Of firing candle
at a boaro. For long time the an
cient tradition has held it's own that the
soft tallow hurled at the mark by a
musket would put hole through an Or
binary plank. Yet here comes gun
bearer who declares that he has tried
the experiment and finds the material
of the candle wildly scattered upon the
target. Of course with present day
rifles and Dreechloaders it may not be
possible to discharge a candle effective
ly from a military arm or from the
latest style of sporting guns. But it
would certainly be pity to leave the
question unsOlved

OSTRICH PLUMES.
A Good Method of RenOvating Them
When Bedraggled.

When Bedraggled.
A suggestion as to how to rejuvenate
bedraggled ostrich plumes:
First Of all, water will not injure a
good plume. Wash it in tepid bath Of
slightly soapy water A small basin is
the best utensil to use, as you can
swish it around the edge without
spreading the feathers too much. The
soap should be in such quantity as to
just make light suds. Run the feather
through your hands gently three or
four times to remove the dirt. When it
appears clean rinse it in two baths Of
clear tepid water and drain.
Great care must be exercised in dry
ing a feather, and it is not to be laid
down from the moment it leaves the
basin until all the moisture has been
driven out To hasten matters it may
be partially dried over a stove, but the
sun is better. Fan it, but not too much,
while the drying Is going on.
When the plume is still trif1e moist
hold it for about half minute over a
spout of a steaming kettle. This curls
the feather, after which it is to be
dried rapidly over stove plate in or
der not to lose the curl.
Never brush a feather to get it to
fall into place; shake it instead. II the
ends Of the feather prove refractory
they may be given an extra curl with
a curling iron, though you must be
careful that the instrument is neither
dirty with SCOT nor too hot. The hot
test temperature the finger can stand
is a good test.-New Orleans Times
Democrat.

THE NERVOUS WOMAN.
What She Should Do to Get Herself
In Good Condition.


In Good Condition.
The nervous woman, heaven pity her!
She makes herself and everybody
around her perfectly miserable. Some
times there's a cause for the nervous
ness, and then she's to be pitied, and
sometimes it's just habit one gets
into of being unreasonable and fussy
and generally looking on the blue side
Of everything. When the nervous sys-
TEN gets out of order the whole system
lags in sympathy. The digestive sys-
tenn, the liver and the heart all refuse
to do their work. Every nervous wo-
man should eat five or six times day.
She should eat three meals, have a
lunch between meals and never. never,
omit the warm drink taken just before
she goes to bed. However. all the food
must be very easy of digestion. Matted
milk. beef tea, milk and bOuillOn are
all good for the nervous woman's
lunch. Gentle exercise and work are
as necessary to the woman with nerves
as food and fresh air. An active inter
est in life will be her salvation. but
generally the woman in such condi-
ton thinks she isn't interested in a
thing in life, so she must keep at work
until she develops an interest. A cele-
brated physician has said: IF you wish
never to be nervous live with reason.
have purpose in life and work for
it. Play joyously. strive not for the
unattainable. be not annoyed by trifes.
aim to attain neither great knowledge
or great riches, be not self centered.
but love the good and thy neighbor as
myself"

Reports that Jeffries looks badly at
times are probably true. And this
brings up the fact that the heavy
weight champion seems to possess
about as great powers of recuperation
as any man in the ring.
When Jeffries spared with Fitzsim-
mons, the champion was undoubtedly
puffy and out of shape. He had diff
Guilty in climbing the stairs to his
dressing room, and was in no condi-
ton to do more when he reached there.
He was blowing hard at the end of
each round of light exercise.
Those who saw him at that time
were more impressed with his bulk
than anything else about him. His
speed in the ring is not particularly
striking, as large bodies seem to move
slowly, and as he does not possess the
temptestuous kind of rushes favored by
John l.. Sullivan when the latter was
in his paimy days.
Stock in Jeffries went below par
when he appeared. Reports of his fine
condition in training were treated
with an incredulous smile by the av-
erage follower of the game. Yet he
came into the ring for his next en-
counter looking hard and firm and
ficI, n Ia
That ne has tendency to put on
flesh is clearly evident. That mis-
flesh seems to distress MIN is also clear.
Yet he appears perfectly capable of
taking it off in short order, or rounding
in first class trim, and of getting back
into the ring in good shape.
Jeffries, at the time of his training
for the second bout with Ftizsimmons
which created such a stir on the coast
was accused of having shown consid-
cradle laxity in his training. His
work for the first few rounds seemed
to bear this out, as it will be recalled
that he reached F'itzsimmons but sell
dom in the early stages of the go, ana
had his own face chopped to pieces by
Fits jabs.
Once he got to Fitzsimmons the
fight was over. Yet he seemed to be
in equally as good shape at the end OF
the fight as ne was at the close of the
first round, so far as actual condition
was concerned. Although Jeff was
putting hard at the close of the first
round and was bleeding freely at one
stage, he seemed to be in fair cond1-
ton at the time of the fatal blow.
This shows that he RECEIVERS fairly
quickly in his battles, and that, in
spite of apparently bad condition, he
can round into shape without much
difficulty once the troublesome weight
is removed down to his fighting mar
gin

SPORTS

The many friends of Rufe Turner,
the clever negro boxer, read with a
good deal of interest a few days ago
that he had all the better of a six
round go with Champion Joe Cans in
Philadelphia, few nights ago, and
that he could have copied the Balti-
more black had ne cared to extend
himself.
The Philadelphia papers, containing
an account of the bout are now at
hand, and they do not agree with the
other report. The Philadelphia Re
cords account gives Cans all the bet
ter of the fight in the account as fol-
lows:
Joe Cans outpointed Rufe Turner
last night in one of the best exhibitions
of boxing ever witnessed in Philadel-
phia. The contest took place at the
Washington Sporting club, and the
club managers were forced to close the
doors long before the time for the be-
ginning of the show, and hundreds of
late corners were turned away. Tur-
ner was not in as good condition as
he might have been, and after the third
round he lost his speed and appeared
to get very tired, and then it took all
the cieverness which he possessed to
stay the limit. Cans exertions early
in the contest tired tine champion, and
though he tried his level best, he could
not stop Turner although he had him
very weak in the last round. 1t was
clean, fast contest, and there was no
rough work on either side. Neither
was there much clincning or holding.
The men stood up so close that many
times their hands were touching, and
all the fine tricks of attack and de-
Tense were brought into play by both
men in trying to get in a punch. Cans
had all the advantages. He appeared
to be heavier and was taller and had
a longer reach than the California col
Ored man.
