Of Interest to Women

Biting of the finger nails is a
habit usually resulting from ner-
vousness, and the treatment of the
condition demands attention to all
the factors that would produce ner-
vousness, such as the excessive
drinking of tea or coffee, excessive
smoking of tobacco, etc. In addition
to this. of course. attention should
be given to normal living, the secur-
ing of plenty of outdoor life, suf-
f1cient sleep, good food, etc. Paint
ing the finger nails with tincture of
aloes, which is very bitter, is some
times helpful in connection with
these measures.
A number of local applications can
be used to remove freckles. but the
removal is not permanent. Most peo-
pie regard freckles as a sign of
good health, and do not worry about
them. This is certainly a good at
titude to take toward this harmless
condition. Buttermilk is very good
but one must use it often and be
careful to protect the face at all
times from the sun and wind.

 Nebraska Plan

 "The matter is of such importance that the executive council has de- cided it should be made leading is sue in the bipartisan political cam paign in the state of Nebraska" Mr. Gompers continued. "This is a most serious question that has arisen ill your state. The crusade of the en- emies of labor should be anticipated by the workers with a most vigorous campaign"

Debts Expand as Countries

I'm the reigns of Edward Wand
of Mary it became a usual practice
to negotiate loans on the continent
and as high as IA per cent interest
was paid. Elizabeth had excellent
credit in Hamburg. Cologne and
Antwerp. where she was able to
borrow at 10 to IL per cent interest
The Stuarts were heavy borrow
ers. but Charles II stopped repay
ment of loans made by the gold
smiths. This debt was finally com
promised late in the reign of Will
lam III at so cents on the dollar.
Public borrowing and banking
were probably of Dutch origin, and
were. brought from Holland bv
William. AS an alien, he hesitated
to burden the people too heavily
with taxation, and to meet the ex-
pense of his wars resorted to Dor
rowing on a large scale"
In 1888 the British national debt
amounted to only 100000, but in
1897. after the wars of William ITI
it amounted to f1S.4oo,oO0 (about
S90, 900. .o00).

WEST VIRGINIA TO PAY
CIVIL WAR DEBT

Brown Bros, New York. are re-
sponsible for the statement that
people who years ago invested in
the Virginia certificates used to rep
resent the obligation of West VIr-
ginia to the State of Virginia at the
beginning of the civil war. are about
to realize on their investment. The
final settlement Of the litigation and
the payment of the debt will put an
end to the noted case which has been
before the Federal courts for ap-
proximately fifty years.
The pending payment of these GER
tificates will finally adjust judg-
ment against West Virginia on be-
half of holders of Virginia deferred
debt certificates. These certificates
amount to approximately $14,350, 900,
in addition to claims for expenses,
commission, etc, which amount to
about $2.250,000. The present out
look points to an early payment.
1t is understood that Robert z.
Scott, master in charge of distribu-
tion OF the West Virginia bonds in
liquidation of the debt, whose duty
was to apportion the funds received
from West Virginia among the GER
tihcate holders and the holders OF
expense and commission claims. has
made a final report to the Circuit

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. July 9.-Rallies in corn
were difficult to sustain and trading
generally in grain futures was
nervous on the board of trade to-
day. Prices were erratic in the face
of the Government crop report due
TO be made public an hour after the

Before noon the market had scored
a good rally, but this was wiped out
in the afternoon session and the
close was q to IA cents lower than
Yesterday. The late weakness came
with selling credited to a big eleva-
tor concern. Mucn selling resulted
from the report that steamers car

National debt is built up chiefly
by warfare yet, paradoxically. as
these countries have reached a
higher state of civilization their
national debt has expanded enor-
mously. A study of English Pub
lie Finance" issued by the Bankers
Trust Company, traces the origin
of national debt. 1t shows that
prior to 1883 the national debt, as
an institution, was unknown in
England. and probably elsewhere.
Before 1855" the study says.
the English rulers had frequently
borrowed money, but these loans
were transactions with special
groups of moneyed men, and in no
sense borrowings of national
character raised on a systematic
basis. The leders dealt with the
king much as they would deal with
a private individual.
Henry III Q216-l272) was the
first King of England whose debts
are recorded in history. He is said
to have. pawned the jewels of the
crown, his robes Of state and other
royal ornaments. and even the
shrine Of st. Edward. He owed so
much that he burst hardly appear
