Do the saloon men keep Blates ? *
“No saloon within a hundred miles.”
“You shut up your nonsense.”—Omaha
World.
A well known writer, who for nearly half a
century has deserted her own country for
foreign shores, remarked to a friend one day:
“One would know you came straight from
Paris by your beautifully kept finger noils.”
Replied her guest, “you ought to know that I
came straight from America with nails in this
same condition you think peculiar to Paris
ians, for this easily acquired habit is almost
ns universal among your own countrywomen
nnd mine as with French ladies.”
Not only is a costly bos of implements un
necessary but, usually, useless; it is much
better to buy a good file ond pair of nail scis
sors (selecting them yourself that the steel
may be without flaws) and a good plain, but
large, “buffer" or polisher. Each of these
may cost seventy-five cents, but not more;
and a box of nail powder at twenty-five cents
should last a year, if a habit is made of spend
ing the ten minutes per diem in this manner.
If you can, let a manicure put your mills In
order at first. If you cannot, trim and fllo
them yourself into a pointed or rounded
shape, as suits your fingers, keeping always a
line of white nail above the pink even ut the
corners, or, I.should say, particularly at tho
corners, to prevent hang nails. You must
spend a long hour this fii-st time, carefully
loosening all the little folds of skin that sur
round the nails, anil clipping and cutting
away shreds of skin that grow callous.
After this, when at your toilet next morn
ing, in washing tho hands use warm water
and a brush for the nails; scrub hard, nnd in
drying run the selvage edge of tho towel under
the nail to clean it. Tho value of this last
suggestion is inestimable. Then clean again
with the steel point of tho fllo, and before the
nail has become dry and harsh pass the sharp,
keen edge of the file one or twioo over the
top, thus cutting away a thin shaving overy
morning and so keeping constantly the de
sired length and shape without a woekly cut
ting. Then slip the point of a file (or an
ivory instrument which cornu for this pur
pose) under the fold of skin. Polish on the
soft part of hand while running down stairs.
T POLISH THOROUGHLY,
During the day polish thoroughly with
buffer—using powder occasionally only—and
this is the time to clip off any hang nails or
callous places with the scissors, and to re
move loose scrape of shin about the lower
part of the nail. Remove every trace of
powder by a good scrubbing with the nail
brush. Before retiring, after washing the
hands, polish the nails qulokly. This is
enough to keep the nails in perfect order,
but emery paper and liquid to prevent
brittleueee are nice additions to the toilet
table.
Never scrape tho nails in anyway, either
inside or outside, and never clean them with
a sharp knife.
It will not be mai apropos, here and now,
to speak of the core of the hands themselves.
We who must use tho hard water of our great
lakes must give more thought and attention
to this than any other women; but the use
of washes and unguents for softening and
whitening the skin, though some of them are
pleasant and agreeable, Is as unnecessary as
the much talked of oatmeal mittens. Fancy
sleeping with one’s hands incased in hosing
gloveel
Do not buy cheap soap and do not use now
eoap. Old soap of good quality will last
twice os long as the new and cheap, and will
save many a box of vaseline or bottle of
glycerine. The poor article is sure to roughen
and ebafen the skin so that the use of an oil
is necessary. A bottle of ammonia, a box of
borax, a bottle of vaseline, a box of finely
powderod oatmeal, a smooth pumice stone
and a stiff nail brush should stand l>eside the
soap dish on every wnshstand. With the am
monia aiid borax to soften the water, the oat
meal to whiten the skin (by occasionally
shaking a handful into the water ono uses),
the vaseline to apply, in small quantity,
when some chance has chapped the hands,
the pumice stone to remove callous spots,
needle pricks or dirt ground in—by cleaning
the family machine, for instance—and the
nail brush for a good, final scrub, no woman
need have red, rough or hard hands, nor
need she spend all her allowance on costly
washes.
KID GLOVES AT NIGHT.
The wearing of kid gloves at, night is
strongly recommended, not the covering of
the hands with some oily matter and pui ting
on an olrl pair of gloves, discarded for street
wear because too much soiled, for one’s own
good sense will show the folly of this, but one
has opportunities of buying slightly spotted
or torn gloves very cheap, and a clean, fresh
pnir of these, two or three sizes larger than,
one’s usual number, kept for the sole purpose
of wearing at night without one bit of oils,
will do more to keep the hands in good condi
tion than gallons of glycerine.
At first one cannot think favorably of this;
it seems like actual discomfort, but the prac
tice persisted in soon becomes agreeable. 1
have even known the chance mislaying of a
pair of night gloves to cause the owner a
sleepless night. Never wear them after they
become soiled or stiff, and always put a pair
of clean hands into them. Many a plain
woman, seeking the secret of making the
best of herself, realizes that exquisite cleanli
ness is in itself a powerful charm.
The most beautiful hands I ever saw wore
one of the many charms of a daily governess,
who, in winter, frequently gave eleven hours’
of lessons per (lay. She had little time to
Spend on their care, yet, as her hands Bashed
over the piano in tho quick runs of Chopin’s
beautiful waltzes, ever} - oye in the room
found delight in watching them. She was o
Pule, the daughter of an exiled noble
man, nnd when one day we begged for
the secret of having such white bands,
sucli soft skin, such baby link palms,
she told us that at 7 years old she laid
made a vow to her grandmother never to
pass a night without gloves on her hands, nnd
that she had never done anything else to care
tor them. “But all these years," we ex
claimed, “had you never forgotten, not
once?” With u look of surprise, and with the
simplest faith, she replied: “But it was a
vow—we never break avow."—Chicago Her

was suffering intensely I was induced,
through Mr. Tichenor’s testimonial, to try
Ely’s Cream Balm. The effect was mar

A FIR8T NIGHT AUDIENCE. "
The Crowd a* a Parisian Theatre—A
Position in Society.
The audience at a first night considers tba
theatre as the house of n friend hy whom
they are Invited for the evening. They appear
in full dress, and as late as possible, so as no#
to bo tho first to arrive, exchange salutations
with the other visitors, shake hands right
and left and spond the evening in trying to
cut a good figure and to chat with everybody
all round. The professional critic whispers*
little sarcasms into his neighbor’s ear, the
friend of tho author amuses himself by ro
ponting all the points and lions mots of tb*
piece before they ale on the stage, thus spoil
ing their effect. Gentlemen pay visits to
ladies in their boxes, discussing the latest
news and epigrams; tho gallery—which does
not form a part of the “society"—looks clown
upon tho assembly through 0]>era glasses, in
order to see all notorious persons as accu
rately as possible and to observe how they
gesticulate, dress, smile, eat sweets, with
whom they ere acquainted and to whom they
are polite or intimate. It is an incessant
whisper and murmur and giggle; sometimes
a tragic seeuo is spoiled by a sudden loud and
indiscreet laugh, or the most comic scene is
lost Ix-eauso a whole row of spectators have
suddenly become solemn and serious in con
sequence of tho news ot n death or other acci
dent which has just been announced. Every
body is busily engaged in taking care ot
himself and everybody else, in presenting
himself in the most favorable light to tbo
curious nnd Iho bumble, and the curtain falls
without any S|iectutor, except tho critics,
having taken the slightest notico of what wa3
said or done on the stage.
It is an important part of the perfect Par
Islan’s education to know tho whole audience,
barring the galleries, ot the first nights by
name, rank, character, end possibly also the
necuuiary state und politics of ouch person
present. Thun the social importance of tho
first night is easily explained. To be known
is the groat object, of innumerable individuals
of a great town, and to attain this object is
the greatest victory which can lie gained in
the metropolitan fight for existence. And it
once a man lias succeeded in being among tho
numtior of constant visitors on first nights he
has emerged from the darkness. * * *
In order to become habitue, rank, money or
great influence is necessary. It may be pos
sible to get, without great difficulties, a sin
gle seat at a single first night, hut this insures
by no means tho advantages arising from tho
regular attendance at all first representations.
The advantages are only socured after anama
has iieen entered Into the feuffie du service
des premieres at every fashionable theatre,
which is the register containing ths name of
every person entitled to be present at first
nights.
The fuellle durarvloe is the golden book
of Paris society. To be entered into this list
is the price which is given for any great suc
cess. Ha who succeeds in making all Paris
talk of him for a moment becomes at once the
recipient of premiere cards. Tho member of
tho Institute; the author whose book has
mads a sensation; the eminent traveler; the
lawyer who had been engaged in a great case;
tbo architect who has completed a large edi
fice; the “grand prlx" of tho salon; the poli
tician whom events have thrown into tho
foreground; the officor whose past Is marked
by a feat of valor; neither of these need apply
DYSPEPSIA
Up to a few weeks ago J considered my
self the champion Dyspeptic of America,
During the years that I have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed tc
be a speciilc for Dyspepsia in the hope of
finding something that would afford per
manent relief. I had about made up my
mind to abandon all medicines when I no
ticed an endorsement of Simmons Livkb
Regulator by a prominent Georgian! a
jurist whom I know, and concluded to try
its effects in my ease. I imve used but
two bottles, nnd am satisfied that I have
struck the right thin<* at lost. 1 felt itf
beneficial effects almost immediately.
Unlike all other preparations of n similar
kind, no special instructions are required
as to what one shall or shall not eat. This
fact alone ought to commend it to all
troubled with Dyspepsia.

Colorado congressmen keep getting redder

Then, if you will take a glance at Symes, you
