Care of Hands In Summer.


The hands in summer, if they are to
be kept soft, white and smooth, re-
qlIire almost as much care and atten-
ton as during the colder months, for
the sun and hot air have a most dry
ing effect on the skin, making 1t hard
looking and wrlnkled. Few women
realize that it is almost as easy to tell
the age by the hands as the face, al
though some hands have been so
neglected by their owners that they
look old long before they should, and
the same may be said of some faces.
Never Judge a womans age either
by her hands or her face, for both
are so largely Influenced by the treat
ment they have received in the past
that it is never quite fair to do So
Hands do not age and wrinkle in
day or a week. The process is so
gradual that it is not noticed till the
owner of q pair of aged hands sud
denly awakens to the fact that, what
ever may be said to the contrary by
kind and indulgent friends, her hands
stamp her as past forty, although her
face may not look thirty.
To keep your hands in really good
condition during the summer you must
feed them by giving them q liberal
supply of oil or cream every night.
For this you may use cocoa butter
pure almond oil, mixed with a little
fine oatmeal, or a paste made from the
yolks of two eggs, a tablespoonful of
pure almond oil, one of honey aud a
teaspoonful Of simple tincture of ben
Eoin. Mix all these together, beating
the yolks of the eggs first, then stirring
the honey, then the oil and lastly the
benzoin. Beat to cream. smear over
the hands, then slip on q pair of old
chnmois leather gloves with holes cut
in the palms and wear them all night
Once week is sufficient for this
treatment when the hands are in fairly
good condition, but when they have
been much neglected it should be
given every night for two or three
weeks till they are soft and smooth
then the weekly treatment will be
ample to keep them nice and youthful
looking.
Hands which turn red and appear
swollen in hot weather should be
washed in warm water never cold
and q few drops of liquid ammonia
should be added to the water. Afte1
washing they should be busted will

loose fitting.

WASHINGTON, u. G., Aug. 1. -
" hen schedule b of the tariff bill was
under discussion last week in the
Senate the two Vermont senators
strenously attacked the proposed re-
duction of the duty upon granite. Sen
ator Dillingham;. in offering an amend
ment placing the rate of duty where
it now stands under the present law,
contcndcd that the reduction was radi-
cal, and that it was made at the in
stigatou Of importers of Scotch gran
tie which would result i'm greatly re
duciug the domestic production and in
crcasing the imports. He quoted eN-
tcnsiveIy from briefs filed with the
finance committee Of the Senate by
granite manufacturers of Barre, Yer
mont, and Quincy, Massachusetts, to
show that the monument made by
American workmeu and valued at S13l
in the granite sheds could be dupllcat-
ed by Scotch granite and delivered az
Boston, paving the proposed rate OF
duty and freight, for Sis. This he
accounted for by showing that il
Scotland the minimum wage Is $l3l
per day while in the United States il
is SIS per day, many workmcn get
ting rs high as $3.50 per day, and 50
per cent Of the cost of the production
of monument is represented by sucl
wages paid the cutters and polishcrs
etc.

sisted by Senators Weeks and Lodg,

Our Breach of Faith with Great
Britain WIFI Bring the Chickens
Home TO ROOst, After Awhile
MOT long before the Civil War we negoti-
ated with Great Britain a Treaty, by
which we engaged our national faith to the
principle that neither one of the contracting
parties would ever claim exclusive rights
over any part of the Isthmus of Panama
This compact between the two nations was
known as the Clayton Bulwer Treaty, the
contract taking the names of the Plenipoten-
t1arles who represented the two nations MIR
Clayton of America, and Lord Bulwer of
England.
Later on, when the United States determ-
ined to build Canal across the Isthmus, the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty was felt to be a
handicap.
John Hay, on the part Of the United States,
began negotiations with Lord Pamcefote, the
British Ambassador, for the purpose of hav-
ing the United States released from the fet-
ters of the Clayton Bulwer Treaty.
With great generosity the British Gov
III
under the old Treaty, and agreed to a new
Treaty which gave to the United States ex-
elusive rights on the Isthmus, but with the
most distinct stipulation that British vessels
should have the same rights as those of this
country.
The United States chortled over their new
Treaty; without a dissenting voice, John Hay
was acclaimed as the Diplomat who had
rescued the United States from a most en-
bawasslng situation.
In fact, the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty was
the very cornerstone of the diplomatic repu-
tation of John Hay
In most shameless manner. the United
States, at the behest of the Continental Rail
roads, now proposes to break faith with
Great Britain.
These Continental Railroads are supple
mented with lines of coastwise steamers.
1t is now proposed that these steamers
shall pass through the Panama Canal. free
of charge.
1t this nefarous proposition receives the
sanction of a Democratic Congress, and
Democratic President, it will not only be
most fragrant breach of faith with friendly
nation, but will be a ship-subsidy in dis
gUise, whose benefit will be reaped wholly by
our cormorant railroads.
If this outrage is perpetrated as it is
planned other nations will be fools to here
after make treaties with the United States.
It is almost needless to add that the Hearst
newspapers are in favor of this dastardly
breach of faith.
The Hearst newspapers VIGOROUSLY serve
the Hartman System of railroads.
