All hope of tariff revision at the next
session of congress appears to have
gone glimmering. The protected
hogs" are to be permitted to remain
with their feet in the trough" and the
poor consumer can take what is left.
The president is being informed that
If he urges any change of the tariff
he will get no railroad legislation, be-
cause congress will take advantage of
the two issues TO offset one with the
other and will waste the entire session
without accomplishing anything. This
argument is doubtless true, because
there are large republican majorities
in both houses of congress and the
majority of the republican members
are controlled by the railroads, the pro-
tected trusts, or by both. At the same
time If, as seems probable, the presi-
dent refrains from recommending both
railway rate legislation and tariff re-
vision after all he has said on both
subjects it will constitute a grave in
dication of want of confidence in the
republican majorities in congress. He
will, in other words, be taking them at
precisely the valuation set upon them
by the democrats.

WHAT MAKES FOR BEAUTY
Happiness and Health Are the Best
Sort of Helps-Some Good
Advice About Diet.

Happiness as a usual thing means
health, and health is the greatest aid
to beauty, and so the average woman
should know the rules of happiness.
The woman who is happy all over is
blessed, indeed. Women do those
things which they ought not to do
and leave undone those things which
they ought to do, and have no health
in them. Then they grumble rather
than beseech mercy for their past
sins and implore strength Of charac-
ter to enable them to live right.
Why does not the summer maiden
improve her opportunities to gain a
lily fairness and a bloom like the
flowers? This is a season when she
may scorn buildings and pastries and
creams and candies and ices and have
more than an even exchange, for
luscious fruits, peaches, pears, pine.
apples, cherries, apples and melons all
venture tempting and flattering offers.
The girl who eats apples plentifully
aids her digestion and clears up hel
skin. Peaches beautify and grapes are
said to be the healthiest of all fruits.
Dyspepsia may be cured by generous
indulgence in oranges and lemons.
which are great tonics.
People who are annoyed by overfat
are unwise to take any Of the many
medicines advertised for reduction
They may reduce, but they prove dis
astrous to health.
: A meat diet is not so fattening as
one composed Of other foods, but 1t is
hard on the complexion. Pastry,
sweets and buildings are hard on the
skin and are also fattening. Walk.
ing, using dumbbells and exercising in
the morning before the burden OF
clothes is INDUCED in will remove
superfuous fat Turkish baths are
genuinely helpful TO reduce adipost
tissue. One should not eat a heavy
meal before going to bed. and extremes
should always be avoided.
= Right living is the true way to be-
come beautiful.

The Keep commission which con-
Quoted the inquiry into the govern
ment printing office scandal has con-
tinued Its work with the other depart
ments with less parade of secrecy than
in the printing Office case and has
turned up a state of affairs already
that will cause a lot of trouble for all
the departments involved. 1t has been
known for a long time that the gov
eminent was one Of the best and east
est things to work when the astute
salesman came around and the revela-
tons that have already been made
show that some one has reaped a har-
vest in several OF the departments over
the furnishing of supplies, says our
Washington correspondent. There has
heretofore been not the slightest sys-
TEN about the purchase Of government
supplies, such as ink, mucilage and
stationery. The result is that a lot of
departments were getting the same
brand OF supplies and the prices made
to the purchasing agents varied from
10 to 100 per cent. Take ink alone, Of
which all the departments use barrels
annually. The highest price was paid
by the government printing office,
which gave S4.32 per dozen quarts.
The lowest price for identically the
same ink was made TO the pOstOtfice,
which got it for S1-34 a dozen quarts.
Other supplies showed the same wide
range Of prices. In the case Of muci-
lage the agricultural department went
the limit in paying s. for a dozen
quarts. The pOstoffice was again the
lowest priced department, giving S1.65
for its adhesive fluid. The government
printing office used a home made mu-
cilage. but this could not have been
from motives Of economy. for il cost
3S4 cents for the same quality. The
item Of lead pencils. which are used
in millions annually, shows the same
astonishing range Of prices The
qualities vary 50 much as TO make a
comparison difficult. but the prices
range all the way from q cents to 125z
cents per dozen There are about 10
different grades used. but the same pen
ell viii be furnished to various depart
ments under different trade names and
the prices win vary to correspond The
price Of bIotting paper varies even
more than the articles previously
named The war and navy depart
ments are the most extravagant in this
regard They 90 as high as STA per
dozen reams in sheets Of 19x24 inches.
The Tostof8ce gets its blotterx for 81

THE CARE OF THE HANDS.
Absolute Cleanliness an Essential and
Care Should Be Taken to Dry
Well After Washing.

Attention and cleanliness OF the
hands bring immediate rewards. de-
clares Nine. Out Vive, In the Chicago
Record Herald. Even the housewife
who putters around among her kettles
and pans may keep her hands In al
most perfect condition. While the
white, soft, lovely hand is one OF the
first beauty attributes, 1t can also be
said that grimy. horrid hands. with
black velvet edges to the nails. with
about the most unattractive, unfem-
mime thing imaginable.
Every mother who has her child's
interests at heart-and what mother
has not?-will look carefully after the
tiny, chubby hands of her little one.
Children form habits that absolutely
destroy the beauty of their hands and
feet, and these habits cannot be too
speedily corrected.
From birth, almost, the finger nails
should be carefully treated. Trim the
little tissue paper-like formation into
oval shape, and you will be surprised
to find how quickly Mrs. Nature will
take the hint and will Develop pretty,
artistic points. Children must not bite
the nails. If this habit is allowed to
continue the child when grown will
have ugly, stubby, coarse nails, thick
and clumsy. A little extract of quas-
STA applied to the finger tips will soon
do away with the unpleasant notion
that the fingers must always be In the
mouth. The practice is not confined
alone to the babes, but is INDUCED In
by some of the. grown-ups as well, and
the nervous, high-strung girl is an
easy victim. For these, let it be sug-
gested that the moment they find
themselves nibbling at their finger
nails quick bathing with hot water
will be effective. This hot bath
soothes the little nerves that are caus-
ing the mischief.
Coarse, rough hands are natural
with some women, just as are coarse,
unlovely compilations, but neither one
trouble nor. the other is beyond rem
'edy. often the rough condition is the
result Of carelessness. In washing the
hands the purest, finest soaps should
be used, but even the best soaps must
be rinsed away, and the surface of
the skin dried with painstaking at
tention.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-09-20
THE ART OF LISTENING.
Ehe Pleasing Person Is Not the One
Always Eager to Intrude His
Own Views and Talk.

The good conversationalist-t one
who listens WELLS always agreeable.
If she feels disagreeable no one knows
It. She is always the well poised
fine lady, says writer in the Chicago
Tribune.
The woman who listens well-the
listening conversationalist-w study
poses. Unless she can be seated grace
fully and prettily and in an interest
ing way no one will want to talk to
her.
Learn to listen II you want to be
popular. Make study Of it. Make
yourself a graceful listener. Make
yourself a pleasing listener. Make
yourself a tactful person who never
makes bull. Make yourself pref
!ty and comfortable, and, above all,
make yourself broad minded. You
will hear things you don't like,
but don't say so. Your opinions
will be Jared, but don't mention 1t.
Your fads will be crucified and your
'isms" crossed, but don't moan about
it. Take it smilingly.
And above all, learn to be interested
in other people. Unless you are sym.
pathetic, unless you are we'll read,
wise. and tolerant, you can't even
pretend to be a good listener. Re-
member what Queen Alexandra said
when she came to the court of Eng
land, knowing no English and little
German: Il couldn't talk" she wrote
home, 80 | just listened" Yet Ten
nyson said Of her: She is the most
accomplished conversationalist have
ever met"
The woman who aims to be a good
listener should bury her views and
keep her fads out of the way; she
should be sympathetic, tolerant and
pleasant.
In conversation the good listener
selects a chair that fits her. She does
not perch uncomfortably upon this or
that; she does not lag or lean; she
does not sit bolt upright; she only
looks comfortable.
II Is said Of Queen Alexandra that
she always looks comfortable. Her
majesty is a splendid listener. and for
that reason was a great favorite with
Queen Victoria, who was a great
talker.
To the listener may be given some
latitude II is not polite these days
60 Hafnnnw ~
years ago threw up her hands and
made extravagant motions with heI
arms. The listener Of to-day is mors
composed. But she still has the Ian
guage Of the hands and Of the eyes.
The best listeners are those who SET
the ball rolling. They start a subject
and the talker takes it up. II may
be nothing more abstruse than window
gardening. II may be nothing more
involved than the making Of a shirt
waist or the setting Of the bread &c
rise. But the listener understands
the art Of setting the ball rolling and
the talker keeps Il on the move. II
takes brains to know when and how
to start a topic
Tact is necessary for the good con
vsrsationalist The woman Who men
tons the wrong thing at the wrons
time and says things that were bet
ter left unsaid has no place in 20
lite society. She lacks tact She
should study how to be tsctful; hoE
ts be kind hearted; how to avoid hurt
ing ether peoples feelings ana when
10 stop taking. The tsctful converse
tionalist will b observant and vii
never. even accidentally, tread upon
the ether vomanss corns.
