Wants New Fire RenuLatlon.

Chief Belt of the Washington fire
department is working for new regu-
Iation to- prohibit the stabllng of horses
on any but ground floors of buildings
in the@pistrict Of Columbia In all Of
the numerous stable fires that have
occdrred in the District of Columbia
during the last 40 years" says the
chief, Il have never known Of a horse
being rescued when it was stabbed
above or below the ground floor and
the fire originated on the first floor.
Disregarding the danger to which
horses are exposed when stabbed
above or below the ground floor Of
any building, ii should also be borne
in mind that the rescuing of horses
from burning stable is one of the
most hazardous duties devolying Upon
the members Of the fire department.
These animals become panic-stricken,
cannot be led, and the fremen are con
stantly exposed to the danger of being
knocked down and trampled upon
This is true in the case of horses
stabbed on the first floor, and when
they are kept en- any floor above or
below the first floor the danger incl
dent to their rescue is corresponding

For your Health.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People Who give
way to moods never amount to much,
because they are never masters Of
themselves. They never know In the
morning whether they are going to do
good days work or not whether
they are going to be cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them. If they feel like being
,good-tempered, they viii be; If they
feel like swapping at everybody,
they will snap.
People who suffer from moods"
should be careful about their habits
They should be regular about meals,
sleep, exercise and work. The condi-
tion Of the health has much to do with
moods, and there Is nothing that con.
tributes SO much to health as abso-
lutte regularity.

PROPER CARE OF TIE PlAno.
Above All Things Never etard It Close
to the Wall.

The dusting and polishing, of the
piano, whether it be new and val
liable baby grand or the humble and
mare cozy upright, should never be
left to the maid but should be done by
the daughter Of the house herself. 1t
should be done with a fine cheese
cloth or linen cloth, or, better still, with
an old silk handkerchief. There should
be neither seam nor hem in the dust
clcth, as any inequality or hardness is
apt o scratch the piano varnish.
Cloudy spots are best removed by
pouring few drops Of benziae on the
dust cloth, and then rubbing very
lightly and in the same direction till
they disappear The carved legs should
be busted with soft brush, as should
also the rack and other ornamental
trimmings.
To restore the whiteness OF the keys
wash lightly and most carefully, SO no
moisture gets into the instrument or
between the keys, with teaspoonful
cf hydro super oxide dissolved in a
pint OF water.
The piano Should nevey stand close
aga INST a wall; If practicable even the
upright should stand fully out IN the
room. The direct rays of the sua upon
it, dampness and draughts all should
be carefully avoided. The plano should
be entirely opened once month and
examined for moths, which are apt to
establish themselves inside the feltiRg

Pretty Elmer Nails.


To have pretty finger nails it is
necessary to keep them properly man
icured. The nails should be filed in
a curve which follows the shape Of
the end of the finger After the nails
have baen filed the finger tips should
be held in hot, soapy water until the
cutlclo is soft, when it may be easily
pushed back from the nail by means
Of an orangewood stick. TO give the
nails a delicate rose tint they should
be polished by applying some good
ointment or powder. III the interest
of pretty nails it is good habit to rub
cold cream into the cuticle every
night, always rubbing the cuticle away
from the nails. Another little, habit
is to always, when drying the hands,
rub the cuticle back with the towel.
These little habits help materially to
keep the rails IN order and greatly
tighten the weekly manicuring
process

keen critic of the game, but he never
dipped into it to the extent of reveal
Ing even a symptom of partisanship.
The difficulties underlying such neu-

1t is stated that Republicans and Dem

did not know, in one case out of a
hundred, whether or no his counsel
had been adopted He was that un-
usual combination book submerged

but he considered the affair at an end
when public man asked him what

He was the court of last resort in

of the house like Blaine and Keifer

that came up.
Perhaps he will be remembered
longer for his amazing memory than
for any other reason. He could not,
as was said of Macaulay, remember
the happenings on the day when he
was born, nor did he perform such
Macaulay feats as committing the

Bible to memory. Nevertheless. it

THE COMMISSION SURPRISED.

Washington. D. C., Nov. 7.-Sur- prise was expressed by the officials of the interstate commerce commis- sion on the report that the United States circuit court at Chicago had granted even a temporary injunction in what is known as the Missouri river rate case.
 The complaint from which the or der of the commission originated de- veloped into one of the most impor- tant cases with which the commission had to deal in the last year. It was brought by the Burnham- Hanna Munger Dry Goods company and many similar concerns in Kansas City against the Rock Island railroad and practically all of the railroads doing buisness between the Atlantic seabOard points and Kansas City.
 In effect the complaint was that rates on class commodities between Atlantic seaboard points and Kansas City were too high and that they discriminated against Kansas City as compared with many other points in the west and northwest.
