Can't Sell Whiskey by Mail.

Little Rock, Ark, Dee.-The Su.
preme Court decided that to solicit
the sale OF liquor in prohibition ter.
ritory by letter or circular sent
through the United States mails was
In violation OF she law. The case in
which the opinion was rendered was
that of Julius linn, OF Little Rock,
liquor dealer, who addressed a cir
culsr containing an advertisement
OF his business to a resident OF Perry
County.
linn was convicted on she charge
and fined 5000. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, on the ground that
since the circular was sent out by
mail the State had no jurisdiction,
and that Congress is the only power
shat may determine what shall b.
sent through she mail.
The Supreme Court affirmed tn,
judgment Of the lower court, on the
ground thatlthe statute does not con
fiict In any way with the power Of
Congress to designate what shall be
carried by and what excluded from
the United States mail. The statute,
the-court says, does not relate to
that subject at all. Ii simply pre-
hibited the soliciting orders for the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors in terri
tory where the sale OF such liquors Is
prohibited.

From the New York sun.
Every seat%as taken In the cabin
OF Twenty.third street boat OF the
Erie ferry the other morning when a
gray haired woman came In. She
walked straight through TO theirort,
then stopped In front OF a young
man wearing purple necktie who
sat In the third seat from the door
and was reading a newspaper.
"Is this the ladies' cabin, young
man." she asked.
YES, ma'am," said she young
man, not looking up.
1T is, Is il? Then get up, you loaf

demand and smiled; the men all
found something wonderfully int, r.

paper. should think you would be
ashamed TO show it,
Still no results from the purple
necktie or any other necktie.
"And you're a man! Do you hear
me? demand that seat" the gray
haired woman resumed. "You let
me stand while you losiers are all
sitting down. Are you going 30 let
me stand all the way over? | de-
mand that seat. II there were more
women like me they wouldn't be
standing In the ladies cabin while

And che kept 1t up all the way over.
She stood up too. None OF the men
offered her seat. The women said
to each other as they left the boat:
Served her good and right.
Wasn't she a terror"
The men looked worried, but read
hard and tried not TO be conscious.
The chap in the purple necktie didn't
have q happy time, but held bis
ground and seat, and all the other
men thanked their lucky stars that
the woman hsdn't chosen them for
her tongue flashing.

THE HUMAN FINGER NAIL

During the greater portion of a mans life he cuts his nails on an average of once s week and al each pairing re- moves a sixteenth of an inch, or the equivalent of 2 quarter Of an inch q month, working out at three inches q year
 This would give him q growth of soN Q on feet six inches during the 30 years he lives between 20 and 30 In tho oth- CT 40 years, supposing he should live tin he Is 70. when the growth is legs rapid, he would certainly produce four feet of nails, so that Il feet Is a better average for the producing capac- lyt of man
 If should be noted, however. that the growth of the nails on tho right hand Is, in most people, more rapid than of those on the left, and it may be that the scientist has based his argument on the slowe, growth of the left-hand pails
 Another curious point r that the rate of growth of the rails depends directly on tho length of the finger, thus, the nails on the two middle fin gers of man grow more rapidly than those on the first and third finger respectively, and these in turn are morc speedy in their growth than those on the little fingers
 Again, nails "rpen' quicker in sum, ner than In winter, when the cold seems to render them harder Chcaa Journal.

RUNNING \ FURNACE.
Rules for Taking Care of tho Homo Heating Plant.

The delicate mechanism, stubborn disposition and inherited contrariness of the common household furnace make it the hardest thing in the house t1 get along with, mechanically speak ing. However, if the following rules are carefully applied the householder win find himself on the best of terms wla the Only Source of Heat:
 ', will be taken for granted that the architect has already located the coal bla as far from the furnace as possi- bIa. In carrying the coal to the fur naee always use q tong handled show q holding a possible quart Some of tha coal will drop off tho shovel but the humps rolling about on the cement floor add the same dangerous zest to his trips back and forth as you eS- pertence in wadlng rocky trout stream or learning to roller skate
 Both labor and coal can be saved by leaving a wide rim of ashes about th tirebnN. This confines the fire to tho center of the grate. N it goes out you can rebuild fl hy breaking up the potato barrel and the apple hoN,
 Pile tho ashes on the floor 10 cool The best place for them is just to the the shovel and shaker little hunt for these implements when you need them will take your mind of youi olf;c1 cares The ash pile should not hc allowed to get quite as high as tho upptr-Coor ioists.
 The best way to sift ashes is 70 pro cure an empty flour barrel 2 small box for the cinders and an ash sitter When all is ready hire the ncighhor', boy to sift them for you.
 To work tho various drafts, note thc directions cast Into the Iron, ther manipulate the slides exactly opposit, tho printed orders The pattcrumall CTS have to cut these instructions n upside down and invariably they ge' them reversed.
 To remedy the smell of hurnet paint when the furnace is started carefully scrape and sandpaper al tho parts before the fire s built, Thl manufacturers have worked grea many years compromising evil smelli To make stove polish and they are eX cccdiugly proud of this years brand which smells ton per cent worse thai last years Good stove yarnsh cat he identified by tho length of time th, odor of burned polish fingers through out tho house
 When the Rrate will not shake o' dump. and cannot be removed. lo tho ashes accumulate under it for week or two.
