For that matter? "the results of its sit w *ks' eflbrrs will likely be of such character as to have but little effect upon the State one way or the other. The elections were held List week and there is nothing now in the way of work?except the disinclination to go home before the forty days' pay be drawn. All the necessary mpaenrw pnnld hf? disnoscd of ill three weeks, all told., but twice that length of time will be consumed. By the time adjoarnment is reached this Assembly will have considered more than a thousand bills. The calandars of both houses are filled frith hundreds of bills, mostly useless, some positively bad and a few k of real merit. A great many weasHLwyres bob up year after year with a |V persistence that is renrakable. V This surplus product comes from H new menbers largely. These think K they must be heard of at home, and it takes from two to four years for H most of them to learn that, as a rule, m one can best serve his constituents V by killing bills instead of mcreasm, ing their number. Justice E B Gary was le-elected P without opposition to the Supreme bench. Hon. Hubert Aldrich deB fen ted Capt* .J E Sawyer for judge B of the 2nd circuit. Should Judge Aldrich live to serve two years, the Aldrich family,< father, son and HPt^. nephew, will have rounded out J set H fifty years upon-the bench of the .State?quite *a record! most generally talked of i subjects ^itriv tw*.

It is not known Ihow the senate stands oil that um . ter as it has not yet been considered at all by that body. The probabilities are that the final action, so iar as this assembly is concerned, will be the passage of Senator Laney's resolution -submittiug this matter to the voters in the inezt State primary, tfcus making the voters of the State decide for themselves whether this .law shall remain oo our statute books or not. Labor contracts is the subjeet of a score or more 4ii bills, dealing with that matter in various ways according to the fancies of the fraaoera Since our State Supreme court | has taken the same view of the old K law as Judge Brawley took last f spring, it is recognized on all sides that some remedy for the state io which we find ourselves is needed I and badly needed, too.

Increased perspiration may be 1 purely nervous in origin, as seen in ' the beads on the forehead of one 7 who is embarrassed, or the cold sweat of fear or some other powerr ful emotion. In some cases the increased perspiration is localized in ' the hands and feet. If this is an 1 expression of general weakness, tont ics and good food may correct the t condition, but usually local treatment is caiicd for. Immersing the palms of the bands or the soles of ' the fe et in rrater as hot as it can be "borne for about five minutes and I hen, after drying, dusting them , with very finely powdered boric J acid is ofi^n of great service. The moist hand may be kept dry , by frequent application to the palms of a saturated solution of ft . boric n?-i(i ir^cologne water. ej The perspiration that occurs at j -1 night in consumption .and other dis- j j eases, .accompanied with hectic feI ver. ii often vcrv distressing. The a i)u;jit*ity of water exuded is some-j limes enormous, soaking not only ' t night-clothes, but the entire bedding ; and mattress. If the patient's con. dition will permit, a hot bath of four or five mini es' duration at bedtime will sometimes prevent or " lessen night sweats. If this is not 1 permissible, sponging with hot vine. gar and water may be tried. A glass of anilk and half a dozen crackers taken at midnight will also occasionally be found useful. ?
