FREQUENT WASHING
GOOD FOR HANDS
Application of VaSeline First
Proves Effective as a
Cleanser.

Many girls who do office work, such
as bookkeeping or selling goods over a
counter, injuTe their hands unnecss-
sariiy by not washing them often, for
the most amazing amount of damage is
done the nails and skin by permitting
an accumulation of dirt 10 remain in
the pores for several hours
When cleansing hands so stained soap
and water should not be the first APP
plication, for nothing but a soft grease
will be effective, end vaseline, / believe,
is the best dust remover, for It pene-
trates all cracks, softening instead of
hardening the matter. Then a fluid
soap used directly afterward extracts
the grease, bringing the foreign matter
with it. In cases Of extreme soil mere
washing leaves the skin in a dingy con-
dition. This is the explanation of many
unsightly hands and defect that is
easily remedied.
There are other oily applications as
beneficial as vaseline for this purpose.
Good for Skin.
Among them are sweet almond oil or
soft cold cream. The necessary feature
of these is that the applications must
be either liquid or one that Hquefies
quickly, or it will not be a dust col
lector.
1t is not enough to wash the hands
just before going TO luncheon, for the
prettiest materials in the shops soil the
skin, while the ledger work or typewrit-
irg makes the skin grimy after few
moments work. Yet it takes less than
five minutes to get them into condition
If the pot of grease is kept near the
washstand and is used in literal quanu-
ties, a. for instance, a lump the size OF
an English walnut at each cleansing.
To apply this is put into the palm of
one and then the same motion as IN
washing is gone through. special atten-
ton being given 10 the finger tips and
nails. This takes about half a minute.
Then the hands must be dipped into
warm, not hot, water. When the tenn
peTatuTe is too high the tendency is 30
dry the skin. Any simple soap NAV be
used, but strong kinds should be avoid
ed. A nail brush 3 necessary, but an
inexpensive quality will be as cleasing
as a costly one.
Use of Brush.
As soon as the hands are wet they
must be lathered. and then the brush
rubbed over the soap and the whole of
the palms and backs scrubbed, brushing
so the skin viii not be irritated, YET
sufficiently brisk 20 take out the dirt.
The finger tips require several extra.
strokes. Rinsing must be thorough.
Drying finishes the cleaning.
Drying is not the simple process that
many persons think, and in the manner
Of doing it lies half the secret of having
pretty nails Each finger must be taken
separately, the towel rubbed down the
sides. back and front, beginning at the
tip. The common mistake IS TO begin at
the finger base and rub up, which SIM
ply trains the cuticie down over the
nails and thickens the tips. Every nall
must be wiped individually, commencing
at the top and pressing gently down 10
the crescent at the base OF the nail.
Only in this way VIII good shape be
preserved. The fact that knuckles are
not thoroughly dried many times is the
explanation Of Tedness. They require
special attention.

The s.dde.t sight.

'sWhat is the most distressing thing you ever saw in a courtroom ?N was the question propounded to a group of lawyers recently as they sat together in the office of one of their number. One told of hearing a judge pass sen tence of death on a woman; another told of the scene betSseen a mother and son as she bid her boy goodby for the last time before he started to serve ten years sentence in the peniten- tiary, and as the question went round the circle each related a story of court scenes. Almost the last one in the group said: "Gentlemen, the saddest thing I ever witnessed in a courSoom was when healthy, strong, handsome
 man and woman. with a group of bright, intelligent boys and girls, their children, appeared before a circuit judge, the one plaintiff, the other de fendant, in a divorce suit The look of distress on the faces of those innocent children as, they sat and listened to the criminat1ons and recriminattons of their parents, intent on breaking up what had been a happy home, was the saddest sight I ever witnessed" sas City Journal.

The nanshee.

The banshee is the domestic ghost or spirit attached to certain Irish or high land Scottish households and is sup posed to take an interest in the well fare of the family generally, and espe- cially to vail at the death of any one of it's members The banshee is pic tured in Irish folklore under the form
 of a little old woman with long hair, which she continually combs, at the same time keeping up an incessant weeping and waiing. The Incident of the comb is exactly similar to the legend of the German lorelei, spirit which sings, while the banshee weeps. as an accompaniment The proud dis hnction of possessing a private ban shee is allowed only to families of pure Milesian stock The word Is derived from the Gaelic ban-sith. woman fairy.

Court Jews were the officially ap- pointed bankers and money lenders of European rulers down to- Napoleon's s times, after which most of them be- came merged in the great business houses which deal nowadays with in- ternational finance. One of the found CTS of the house of Rothschild was court Jew at Frankfort toward the close of the eighteenth century. 1t was with him that the eIector of Hesse-Cas- seI deposited f1,ooo,oo0 when the first Napoleon was threatening his domin- ions, and the way in which the sum was protected and restored when Bu- rope was settled again first made the name of Rothschild famous in finance. Up to this period Jews had no rights as citizens in most German states or in Austria, and the office of court Jew was necessary to give them standing London Globe.

Church wedding. and Cards.

While 1t Is a popular custom to issue cards of invitation to attend q church wedding, 1t is entirely contrary te the teaching understood to be implied by the church edifice. No private family has a right to issue invitation to the House of God to witness the perform ance of a rite within the said house as though for the time being the latter had been given over to them for their own particular use. A wedding In a church Is not a private, but rather a public rite. at which any parishioner who wishes may be present without an invitation from any one. Gods house Is at all times a public place Of wor- ship, the very spirit of which is utter E opposed to cards of invitation Church Eclectic.

The Great Salt L.h. .Br.a<..

The longest bridge in the world stretches across Great Salt like. It was constructed at an enormous cost to save time and money. Before the bridge was built the railroad skirted the north end of the lake Now it cuts off forty three miles of road and runs directly from Ogden to Lucin. The cost of this remarkable bridge was s50oo,000. The piles were brought from the Oregon and Texas forests. By placing all the piles together they would measure nearly e00.O feet. There are more than eleven miles of permanent tresthng. nearly the entire length being under water, which is from thirty to thirty feet deep.

MAY TEACH THEM \ LESSON

The most reliable ndylccs from.
Washington, in TIE matter Of Contra.
American affairs are to the effect
that Zelaya's own admission thai
droce ana Cannon were officers Of the
Revolutionary army decided the state
department OF the plan OF havlnr
him tried for murder II he can be
captured. Tho United states govern
ments position is that ia killing the
Americans, outside the rules Of civil
lied warfare, Zelayn was as guilty OF
murder as a highwayman who kllls
10 rob, ana that the best possible
lesson to dlsturbcra in Central Amcri-
ca win be to treat Zclaya as a com.
mon murderer ana not as Il romantic
a%dvcnturor.
II the Estrada government Is sue
cessful, It win try ana probably eS-
ecutc, Zelaya On the charge 20 be
brought by his relatives. This Is a
safe prediction, as Estrada mover can
hope TO become president without tho
approval OF the United states, and he
WIN do what is suggested TO him
In the event that tho United states
finds IL necessary ia establish q pro-
v%isional government in Nicaragua,
which is considered the certain
coursc by the administration, Zclaya
.will De tried and certainly executed
by the provisional government.
At tho present time former Pros
ident Zclaya, In the official eyes az
the United States government, is not
q political refugee non a leader OF %
military force. but q fugitive from
justice charged with murder.
The department finds that Zolaya $
action was inviolution OF AN the rules
OF civilized warfare Reasoning that
there IS no actual government in
Nicaragua. the department necessarily
arrived ot the conclusion that Zelaya
is nothing more or less than an inter
rational brigand, and must be SO
treated.
