Was There n Duel lu the Park?
Consternation was caused among
the park police of New York by the
receipt of a note that two pociety
young men were to light a duel during
the night over a young society woman,
in Central park. All ciheers wire
told to look vigilantly for the ducli-t?
throughout the night, and arrest any
suspected persons. An ollicer found
in a st eluded place near the west drive
and opposite Ninety-tecond street,
early in the morning, two bloodstained
handkerchiefs, clots of blood and a
cheap pistol. All hospitals were
searched for persons who arrived dur
ing the night with gun or pistol shot
wounds, and inquiries were made
among physicians and drug stores in
the neighborhood, lut without result.
The police think they have been made
game of, and are further perplexed as
reporters came in to ask for informa
tion five minutes after the things were
rectived. It was an unusual visit at
such an eariy hour.
Department Rnllnti.
The Treasury Department having
been informed by the Collectcrof Cus
toms of Saa Francisco of the result
of the trial in the United States
Court, wherein J. P. Ames and ethers
secured judgment awarding them
$375 55 collected from them by Col
lector Hager for services and expenses
of an Inspector of Customs sent to
Port Costa to cemnt and inspect graiu
bags manufactured in the United
States from foreign material, which
were exported rilled with grain from
San Francisco, and ou which the man
ufacturer claims a drawback, has in
structed the Collector to take the
necessary steps to pay the judgment.
He is also instructed to discontinue
the practice of exacting such fees and
expenses iu investigations to cstabli.-h
the right to the drawback on such
bags, and i3 requested to furnish the
department with a certified list of
such fees and expenses collected by
him since the commencement of the
suit.
The Strike at Indianapolis.
The strike of railroad switchmen
taking an ug!y phase in Indianapolis.
Not a sikgle switch engine in the city
was moved. In the freight yards
everything is in confusion. Morning
trains were abandoned half made up,
cr net made up at all. In all the yards
business was at a complete standstill.
Iu several places the engineers ami
fiieaien, or other employes pressed in
to eeivice, tried to go su with the
work, but the strikers interfered and
successfully prevented the departure
of any trains. The engineers and
firemen saa in symoalhy with the
swichmen, and made no attempt to
man thtir engines. In nearly every
iusts-cce they quit work, ran their en
gines to thtir stalls and drew the fire
when the switchmen requested it. All
forenoon strikers hove been going from
one yard to another and warning ap
plicants for work that if they under
took to touch switch engines thev
would be handled roughly. The offi
cers of the road called for police pro
tection, and an effort will be made to
start out new crews.
Interested Railroads Trying to
Remedy Some of the Existing- fcrils.
The committee appointed at the
conference of representatives of the
Transcontinental and Central Traffic
Associations and trunk lines, at St.
Louis, to remedy the existing evils on
Pacific coast business, reported that
the condition which unfavorably af
fected the revenues from east bound
passenger traffic from the Pacific coast
were attributable to the fact that the
representatives on the cosst improp
erly received and disbursed funds for
the purpose of securing business. As
the Eastern lines are desirous of bet
tering the conditions under which such
trofiic exists at present, it is probable
some action will be taken ere long, on
on the recommendation of the com
mittee that all lines adopt euch restric
tions as would secure uniform action,
and that each association take up the
subject and consider it separately.
Any association sgreeing upon uni
form rules will doubtless receive the
co-operation of all the others.

Of Interest to Cannery men.
A verdict was rendered by the jury
in the United States circuit court that
is said to involve the collection of mil
lions of dollars in royalties annually
from canm-rs of fruit, salmon and
other commodities in the United
States for nee of a soldering iron. The
case was made a test. The parties
were Lewis Mc Murray and others
against George It. WeiKn, canned
goods manufacturer, of Somerville,
Mass. The verdict was at the rte of
$18 75 per 1,000 cans on which the
soldering iron was used by defendant.
This decision, it is said, will open the
Way to suit against a majority of the
fruit canners of the country.

Place your manure heap under

In storing apples a free circulation
of the air through the barrel will be

sometimes cause the whole to rot.
While the work can be done before

It is the verdict everywhere that

Now is the time to get rid of the
poorer animals. It will not pay to
winter them, as better animals will
give larger returns forshelter.care and
feed. It is not economy to keep a
poor animal through any season, but
it is most extravagant to keep it
through the winter. It is the height
of folly in stock-raising to sell the best
and keep the worst. True, the best
bring the largest prices, but if you sell
the best and keep the worst soon your
best will be no better than your worst
U now, and your worst will be such
that the more you have the poorer you
will be. You, by this plan, constantly
make your animals poorer, and as the
stock-raiser makes his animals poorer
he makes himself poorer. If he keeps
up the process bankruptcy is as sure
as fate. Tiie opposite policy is the
winning policy.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
WhatTbey Are and Mow Every One Can
r Acqalre Them,
Eealiy beautiful .- Lander are rarely
seen; hands white, smooth and shapo
ly, whoso finger-tips curve upward
like th'e pink petals of an opening rose,
and whose dainty nails, are polished
like the heart of a blushing sea shell.
Such hands had the lovely Queen of
Prussia and they may sometimes be
seen among us, but are more rare than
almost any other physical charm.
A wnall hand is not necessarily at
tractive, proportion being one of the
chief elements of beauty; but the per
fect member must be a trifle long.with
gently tapering fingers. Such are the
hands that we ascribe to poetic and
sensitive people, idealists in art or
character. Haavy hands with thick, -square-topped
fingers could never be
long to such, dreamers, but are as sure
ly the sign cf a prosaic nature. The
hands should be slightly rounded, thi
thumb reaching half way up the first
finger, the middle one extending a
nail's length beyond the first, the third
about half a nail's length shorter than
the middle finger, while the fourth,
should reach the second joint of its
neighbor. Tho skin shjuld be soft
and Ceo, the lines almost impercepti
ble, and the whole hand should be ex
quisitely supple.
It is probably use rather than na
ture that makes most bands so very
unlike this ideal, for though few are
perfect in shape and some are hope
lessly coarse in texture, for the most
a great improvement is possible.
Smoothness and dainty cleanliness ean
be preserved and cultivated; stainless
tips and polished nails cost little hut
some minute3 of time. With them no
hand can fail to be pleasing, even
though it may never serve as an art
ist's model; so nose need display the
almost universal blemishes except
they be engaged in the roughest labor.
Nearly all housework can be done in
gloves, which, though they seem a lit
tle troublesome at first, can soon be
worn without inconvenience. Espe
cially in sweeping and dusting are
they useful to protect the skin from
dirt and hardening, and in these exer
cises they are not in the way. But
during sleep they can always be worn,
care being taken not to have them too
tight, as that would disturb circu
lation. Nothing is more certain
to improve the band than
the slight sweating thus se
cured. Ie whitens, softens and
renders it more supple. In addition
there are creams and pastes to be ap
plied, many cf whieh are excellent.
The following recipe has been taken
from the French: Yelk of fresh eggs,
2 scruples; sweat almond oil, 2 table
spoonfuls; rose, water. 1 ounce; tinc
ture of benzoin, 36 grains. Beat the
yelks up with the oil, and add. suc
cessively the rose water and the tinc
ture. Put this inside the gloves and
sleep in them.
Above all, wet the hands as little
as possible. Wash them in tepid
water with a little borax and mild
soap, and never omit to dry them
thoroughly after washing. "
The care of the nails is of prime im
portance, A brush should always be
used, and if not sufficient to remove
the stains that so easily gather there
are acids that will complete the work.
Some people use lemon juice forthi3
purpose If they are then brightly
polished they will be so much im
proved that the effort will seem well
spent. Preparations for this use are
now quite common, but another is
suggested. This consists of equal
parts of cinnabar and pulverized em
ery, rubbed on with a small sponge.
Then a little oil of bitter almonds may
be passed over them to still further
enhance their luster. This care will
be sufficient to give any woman a pair
of attractive hands. Chicago News.
Good Whether It Cures or Not.
Self-massage is recommended as a
cure for dyspepsia. The method is:
First thing in the morning and last
thing at night rub the abdomen down
the left side and the right in a round
circle, also rub down -the breast ; now
paee across the room once or twice,
and then snap the lower limbs, like a
whiplash, for exercise. Now twist
the lower limbs, first on one side, then
on the other, and rock upon the toes.
Now for the lungs and abdomen; first
take in half breath, then exhale all
the air possible, then fill the lungs to
their full capacity, walk 'across the
room and back, at " the same time
throwing the arms back. " Now in a
' half breath send out every particle of
air till you see the abdomen working
like a bellows, and you will soon be
come a deep breather. For more ex
tended practice in deep breathing the
morning before rising is a good time,
providing there is full ventilation and
the air inside is as pure and fresh as
that on the outside. In the winter
time before a good fire wash the hands
and wet the back of the neck, arms
and lower limbs slightly, and rub down
with a coarse towel. This Is sufEcient
for a beginner, but the chronic dys
peptic needs mora extensive exercisa.

Five tablespoonfuls of milk and
one cup of granulated sugar will make
an excellent frosting if flavored with
lemon or vanilla, boiled five minutes

stiff and cool enough to spread en the

frosting is that it ia economical and
that it can be cut as soon as thor

be stale, is preferable to the old
