there are no restrictions of this kind. more than the usual number of accidents occurred. It seems. therefore. that cer tain classes of accidents may be reached by legislation, requiring hunter to pause long enough to make sure that an object moving i'll the undergr0wth is a deer with horns of sufficient length to come within the law. This delay is oftentimes suffi- cient to prevent the fatal mistake of kill ing or woundlng man for d deer. Leg islation providing severe penalties for shooting persons by mistake has not thus far accomplished the desired object. AL though such laws have been on the stat ute books of Maine, Michigan and Min nesoa for several years. apparently no convictions has thus far been obtained. Action was begun in at least one case in each state this year, but these eases are apparently still pending. The experience of the year seems to indicate that re- striction on the use of the 22-caliber rifle and the more general adoption of meas ures prohibiting killing deer with horns below a certain limit promise better re- suits in preventing accidents than in de- claring such accidents homicide, punisha- ble by sever penalties.

 The South Alrican conquest cost Great Britain a cool 1s20O 000,000 and the Boers must have spent a sixth as much more in defending their little republic.

 Reducing the Hips.
 K E.. B., c. l.. R.-ln response To three requests, l repeat the exercises for reducing the hips. l know of several cases in which these have been most eaicacious. First raise the outstretched
  its erect position, then bend slowly for ward from the waist, so that the fingers come as near touching the floor as pos sibe without straining in any way ih's is done without bending the knees In recovering position, let the arms relax and sink down as the body straightens up. Second, with hands placed lightly on the hips, the fingers pointing forward, let the body drop forward easily, so that 1t is bent at the waist This must be done gently as by jerking, more harm than good is done From this bent posi- ton roll the body round to the rlBht' counting four for il to reach the position of being bent over the side, then to tho back, being careful to do it very easily at first till the muscles have gained strength for an exaggeration Of the movement may cause real pain. Then on to the left, and back to the front Prac- tice again. only start toward the left The waist acts as a pivot on which the trunk swings, and the head is easily re- laxed Third, in this exercise the hands have the same position, but now the body is bent forward from the waist, then back then to the right and leit. Each movement should occupy four counts Take these exercises gently. but let the movements be firm and strong. Avoid the slightest strain of the muscles. No corsets should be worn while prae- ticing them.
 Cleaning the Face.
 Marie-To properly clean the face the water must be hot--as hot as may be. Hot water makes the skin soft and pll- able and should be used with good soap, guaranteed not to contain any uncoh- bined alkali. As q general thing men faces show a clearer skin than women's, though naturally of coarser texture. This is due to the fact that men con ,tantly use shaving soap father, which Is of a much finer quality than that or ordinary soap.
 If ia we'll to bear in mind that the pores should first be opened with hot water and the soap rubbed to father before 1t is applied at all, then washed nff with hot water; after this use cold water to close the pores again.

A large bunch of silver berries supplemented by a bunch of laurel leaves whose glossy foliage admirably sets off the reflection of the silver, was worn by fair-haired woman.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The Matter Discussed al Length Be.
fore The House Committee
= Yesterday.

s Raleigh, January 15.-Tbe House
$7ammittee on the Liquor-Traffic had a
long discussion in the afternoon over
liquor bills relating to Johnston, War
zen and Burke counties. Hearing of
t3he Johnston county bill was continued
until January 22nd, when parties in
terested could appear before committee.
The bill from Warren was to prohibit
the sale of cider and wine manufac-
tured on premises from fruit grown by
owner in the town Of Llttleton. There
hvas opposition from some mem bers to
making exceptions of the general oper-
alton Of the Watts and Ward laws, ar
tguing that to begin now at this special
Legislation would but open the flood
gate for innumerable bills before the
Legislature adjourned, as had been the
case formerly. The bill was reported
/ ifavorably.
The most spirited discussion was
over bill making Morganton prohi-
! bition town, aboIishing the two or three
| saloons there. Bitter opposition was
made to this by memb bers OF the COM
mittee, who contended that the Watts
and Ward laws should be followed, and
the people of the city be allowed to
have their will, as expressed at the
/ election. This view was expressed by
/ members Grant, of Davie, Carter, OF
Forsyth, and Julian, of Rowan.
/ Senator Davis appeared before the
ccmmitte and stated that the las
4 campaign in Burke county was con.
i Quoted on this one issue, as to making
the county prohibition, and the people
regardless of party affiliation in towr

both Repu blican and Democratic can

FOR BIGGER PAY.
.Congressmen Vote an In
crease Of Salary.
Only ThiFiy-F0uF Members Cared to
60 on Record, Although Ninety
two Took The Negative
Side on a Cali
for Division.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S-By
vote of 1873 to 80 the House today voted
that the salaries Of Senators, Repre-
sentatives and the delegates from Porto
Rico, Hawaii and Alaska be increased
to 81 800 per year after March 4th, 1907,
and fixing the salaries of the Vice
President, Speaker and members of
the Cabinet at S12, 1000.
Mr.. Littauer, of New York, precipi-
tated one of the most Interesting and
exciting episodes in the history of the
59th Congress when he moved to take
the legislative executive and judicial
appropriation bill from the Speakers
table as it had passed the Senate and
to amend the same by inserting a pro-
vision increasing the salary Of the
Vice President, the Speaker and mem
bers of the Cabinet to $4,000 each; in
crease the salaries of Senators, Rep
resentatives in Congress and delegates
from the Territories and the resident
com m issioner from Porto Rico to ST.
500 each.
Nearly every member was present
when Mr.. Littauer made his motion,
both Republican and Democratic
whips having sent out hurry calls for
absent members, and almost instantly
members were on their feet in protest
to a cut and dried program for in
erea Sing salaries without a roll-eau.
Mr.. sOrumpacker, of Indiana, said he
was opposed to members of Congress
voting to increase their own salaries
and he would therefore vote against
the amendment.
MIR. Burlison, of Texas, stated thai

;HEARSTMCC CLELLANssALLOTS

Mayor Mcclellan madea great poiTt-
1ical mistake wwhen he objected to and
really thwarted a recount of the votes
cast in the naayoralty eaeetion Of 1905
That mistakeshas taken away much OF
his popularity and all ,.his enemies
stand ready to assert thathe was not
elected.
The new attorney general OF New
York is a Hears democrat+iand he has
begun an action contesting Mayor Nc
Clellan's right to act as mayor at all,
and bringing AL the disputed ballot
boxes into the eeurt to be handed over
to the attorney general. There are over
soc, 900 ballots inythe boxes, and Mayor
MeClellan's declared pluralityswas less
than four thousand. The story that
will come out of those boxes in re-
count cannot even tbe guessed at.
An officer of the trial court in New
York has not found as yet all theboxes,
and the particular hsxes in whichsfraud
is charged are missing. The entire
business premises to become another
political scandal, and Mayor Mcclellan
may become the chief victim of sthe
struggle. He has already suffered
severely from the charges and counter
charges in the case, and if he blocks
the way to a recount he will lose his
hold on the people and he was once the
most promising politician isa New York.
Not few expected then to see him
made president.
Whoever in this country fails to re-
Gpect a ballot box is as good as lost in
the eyes of the people. He becomes in
their eyes tainted with fraud. even
though he be wholly innocent Of any
over tact. It is the Willingness to sup
press the truth-to defy public senti-
ment- to subtitute force for plain,
aboveboard count, that angers voters.
and this is just where Mayor McClel-
Ian stands today. He made the mis-
take of his life when he opposed a re-
count.
