LITTLE BEAUTY a

A LITTLE FACTORY VENUS.
BY BLANCHE BEACON.

Not SO long 6 I was visiting a
thread factory, and came across this
little maid OF sixteen.
Her name Is Francesca. She is OF
1talian-American parentage. From the
first 1 was struck with her beauty. She
has h warm. rich coloring Of the
Italian, and all the vivacity of the
American. There is no sleepy languor
alive. I asked her playfully if she did
anything to keep herself so pretty.
To my immense surprise, she an
swered that she did.
"Of course I take care of myself"
she laughed. "If i did not, 1 would
not be lovely, and if I am not lovely, 1
shall not win a husband"
You have such pretty, soft hands,"
I remarked. "Do you do something to
keep them so?"
"Assuredly. lady," Francesca replied.
my mother has some olive oil, and
I rub a little on my hands each night,
and especially on my finger tips"
And you skin, FRANCISCAN"
Sour. milk, lady. / wash my face
with 1t each night, and once in awhile
I rub q, very little olive oil on it."
And do you use olive oil for yOur
hair, too?" I asked, as I looked some-
what e%nviously on her glossy, thick
coils of black hair.
Every night q little rubbed into my
scalp. 1t Is SO good. The hair likes it,
And I suppose you use 1t for your
eyebrows and lashes?"
Then we both burst out laughing, as
she replied:
"For everything, lady. Olive oil is
the best. We use 1t for all our trou-
bles."

DISCORDANT "STEERERS,

The discordant elements in the Re
publican steering committee IN the
L s. Senate. which is 10 sift out bills
for passage and recommend a few for
favor and most for perdition, has been
borne in upon the politicians in Wash
ington. Senator GaIlinger, presiding in
his fortnight in the Senate as president
pro TEN, appointed as such commission
Senators Root. Smoot, Oliver. LA Fol
lette. and Cummips. 1t is not likely
that Mr. Gallinger would have named
these discordant elements on that COM
mittce unless they had all agreed to
serve. But if they have all agreed to
serve on that committee 1t is clear
case that the movement is one of deep
meaning strategy, and designed to
smooth over the dissensions and ha.
treds among Republicans which caused
the disastrous split last year; for, when
such radicals as La Toilette and Cum
MINIS will servo amicably with Root
and Smoot on r steering committee
then surely the political millennium hs:
begun to dawn,
Another view of this curious situa
tion is that the staudpat Senators vii
be so few in the coming Senate that
they are willing TO surrender the lead
ership OF the party 70 the radical ele
ment. If this is true, and if La Fol
lette and Cummins are to be the Re
publican leaders in the next Senate
then indeed there would seem to bc
no rason why the Progressives should
hold off and refuse to be reconciled.

is not only natural but inevitable.
THE HEALTH BILLS.

We wish TO commend to the care
| ful and favorable consideration Of botf
houses of the Legislature the four bills
| introduced in. the Senate on Thursday
by Senator W. Mont Ferry, from the
State Board of Health, These meas
ures are OF the highest Importance, and
! coming as they DO from the State
Board OF Health they carry with then
standing and presumptive authority
that cannot safely be disregarded.
One of these bills gives the State
Board of Health supervision over waite,
sources used for domestic or drinking
purposes. That supervision of this kind
is necessary is abundantly evident IL
the record OF preventable diseases that
become afflictive to the people of this
State in the various cities and settle
ments, from time TO time, by reason
OF insufficient inspection and precau
ton.
Another of these bills requires re
port from ell superintendents of hospi'
tails, hotels, or rooming- houses OF cases
OF tuberculosis In the keen investl'
cation of this disease, and the strenu
Gus efforts making TO stamp 1t out
such reports as these are necessary on
the face OF the matter, for. unless tu'
bsrcrlosis cases can be traced and kept
under inquiry. there will be alway.
imperfection in the data upon which
the warfare upon that disease IS con
Quoted.
Another bill provides for the inspec
ton of ice before it is sold. Since il
has been abundantly demonstrated that
ice used in drinking water is Otter
impure, the Importance of this bill
is manifest.
The fourth OF these bills prohibits
e1pectoration in public places As tc
this, we already have prohibitlve or
dlnance in this city, but it is very
poorly enforced; and the hope in ask
ing this as law in place of an or
dinauce is that all the officers, city
county, and State, will Join in the
suppression OF this nuisance, which, be
sides being a nasty nuisance, IS a men
ace to the public health.
These bills are all directly in The
interests Of the public welfare, and
Of the peoples health. The Legisla
ture will do well 10 enact them all
and so make a good start toward:

PAVING OF INTERSECTIONS.

A measure which is pending IN the
Legislature, of considerable Importance
to this city, is the one which provides,
that when street is to be paved the
property owners shall pave the inter
sections as well as the street lmmc
diately in front of their property. The
plan is TO take half the block on either
side and distribute the cost Of paving
the intersection as equitably as may
be among the property owners on the
half block. In this way the additional
cost, especially when the portion that
is to be cared for by the street rail.
way company is eliminated, will be
come very light on the property owners
of each half block.
The process of paving and street
Improvement could through this meas
ure be pushed very rapidly and with
out distress to the city treasury, and
also without distress to the property
owners, since the added amount that
they would pay would be so very small
when divided among so many. Take
any street corner, divide the intersec-
ton into four squares, and distribute
the payment Of each quarter among the
owners of the $50 feet next adjacent
thereto, along the two block fronts,
and it will be seen that the additional
cost of paving that quarter divided
among the 600 feet of property, would
scarcely be appreciable as an addition
| to the assessment upon the owners or
the abutting property,
We do not wish in this TO be un-
derstood as championing this measure,
| but merely rs explaining It's effect,
| and showing that the cost to the prop
erty-owncrs would by no means be sc.
we're and that the objection raised at
times and in some quarters against
the proposition is not justified by the
cost that it would entail upon the prop
| erty owners,
The chief thing to be desired, in our
| Judgment, is to get the consensus OF
opinion of property"owners on this mat
ter after they fully understand what
il means. There has been such buga-
boo raised about the tremendous cos,
that would be imposed upon the prop
erty-owners bv this proposition that
| IL is worth while to take note of the
fact that the cost Of it, apportioned
as explained, would be extremely light
on every piece of property.
Let the property-owners fully under
stand the question. and then express
their opinions fairly and candidly, a;
TO what thev desire. and what they
fear in the matter, The fear certainly
must be light. because the expense could
not possibly be irksome. But let them
first fully understand, and then declare
their minds.
