OFFENDED THE D0UMA.
Minister Glad 1t Is Not a Parliament.
 Premier Uphoids Him.

St. Petersburg, May 11.-M. Khomya- koff's sacrifice of his personal pride in order to safeguard the douma has won unstlnted praise in all quarters. On the demand of Premier Stolypin he withdrew the presidential strictures on the statement made few days previously in the douma by the minis ter of finance, M Kokovsoff, who dur ing the course of debate exclaimed. Thank God we haven't a parliament in Russia yet" NJ. Khomyakoff from the chair referred to the minister's re- mark as an unfortunate expression, but later he was notified by the pre- mier that he must withdraw his stric- ture, failing which the premier threat ened to resign. In consideration of the fact that Premier Stolypin has been the douma's truest friend NJ. khomya- koff decided to accede to his request.
 The Novoe vremya and the Rech are equally warm in their tributes to the president of the douma. It is realized that the ministers had technical right to object to the attitude of NJ. Khomya- koff, yet falling out between the dou. ma and Premier Stolypin's cabinet a. the present juncture would have been calamitous to both sides and would have wrecked NJ. Stolypin's policies as well as those of the Octobrists. whc heretofore have been guided by the prudent policy of trying to conserve at all costs the third douma, remember. ing the sad fate of previous doumas.
 M. Kokovsoff's phrase is reiishec only by the extreme reactlonaries ey anywhere. Everywhere else it is re gretted as inausplcious. The finance minister personally confessed to NJ Khomyakoff that it was slip of tho tongue and that he had not meant tC offend the douma so brusquely.

CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS.
Few Minutes Time Daily Will Keep
Them In Perfect Trim.

When 1t only takes q few minutes
each day and half an hour one day
week to keep the nails looking nice
and well groomed 1t IL surprising how
many people neglect the nails. In the
first place the hands should be
scrubbed once day to keep them
clean. Even people who have no man.
ual labor at all to perform with the
hands will find that they will become
dirty from merely coming in contact
with the articles which every one must
handle. Wash the hands. especially
the knuckles and nails, with q nail
brush and warm soap suds until they
glow and dry them carefully. Then
take piece Of orange wood stick and
carefully loosen the cuticle around the
nails. being sure to get 1t all loose.
but not to use the stick roughly
enough to injure the young nail, for
this will produce the white spots
which are SO ugly on a nail. Then
with scissors and file shape the nails
carefully. making them round instead
Of pointed. II there are any hang
nails they should be carefully shipped
away with the scissors, but II the
orange wood stick is used every day
there will be no hangnails. Then rub
tiny bit Of vaseline on the nails and
rub It in well. Now cover the chamois
skin buffer with the powder polish and
rub the nails briskly until the desired
amount Of shine" has been produced.
Then wash the hands carefully again,
pushing back the cuticle which you
loosened with the towel. Now rub the
nails Of one hand on the palm Of the
other and the shine will reappear. Ten
minutes devoted to the nails each day
will keep them in perfect trim.

UNIQUE POLICE UNIFORMS.

The Buenos Ayres Herald, rejoicing
over the adoption OF the white helmet
for It's police force, says: THE local
'Robertus,' or more familiarity Bobby
has at last got a white helmet, bless
his little crlollo heart! And some peo-
pie, OF an inquisitive turn OF mind. are
asking why this becoming and season
able headgear should not have been
accompanied by corresponding chro.
matte variation in the rest OF the uni.
form" The writer complains in the
same article about the injustice of the
city law which compels policemen to
wear dark wooden clothes In hot
weather. The inspectors OF the force
are worse Off than their men, for they,
in addition to heavy uniforms. must
wear also huge riding boots. and have
not the saving clause OF the white
helmet" The paper advocates 1.-The
adjustment of all collars, cuffs. close
fitting clothing. hard hats. gloves
(gloves In this weather!). and the In
stitution of wide, easy and flowing
civic costume that. while uniting all
the demands OF culture would afford
a rational garb in keeping with the
climatic surroundings" This criticism
OF existent customs will surprise many
persons who fancied that the problem
of comfortable clothing had been
solved In South America.
