The record of fatality attending the
prevalence of yellow fever in North
ern Mexico this year, has been almost
without a parallel, as it is also explosive
of recognized theories. An official re-
port of which summary is published
in the Medical News, indicates that
ravages were by no means confined to
the low lands near the coast. 1t is
stated that at one of the mines, 81 cases
out of 100 proved fatal. The mines
are generally at considerable altitude
in the mountains. 1t is also stated
that not a single town in the State of
Sonora is known to have escaped a
visitation. La Paz had 5000 cases,
and the large city of Tepec, which is
1900 feet above the sea level, had
considerable difficulty in check
ing the epidemic. Stringent measures
were taken, infected districts were
isolated; furniture and clothing were
burned and refugees from the coast
carefully quarantined. All this. if
true, would seem to indicate that the
popular idea that elevation is bar to
the progress of yellow fever is mis-
taken one. During this epidemic in
tercourse between some of the largest
cities has been totally suspended.
One railroad ceased to operate trains,
every employee being stricken. Out of
100 soldiers stationed at Alfalfa 148
had the fever and forty-one died.
State aid has been granted the needy,
all burials are at public cost. and ex-
humation of yellow fever victims is
strictly prohibited. The Brazilian
discoverer of the yellow fever microbe
has begun vaccinating against the
disease, and claims to be hopeful of as
good results as in small pox.

Sad Romance Connected with the
"Little White House,"
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. IL. = The
Little White House." situated at the
junction of NJ and Twenty-frst
streets, Washington, has just been
sold to an English gentleman Of
wealth, who will remodel and occupy
it. The house is one of the most noted
in Washington. 1t is built of brick,
plastered on the exterior, and is a
counterpart of the White House, ex-
cept that it is not so large. 1t has its
'east ROOM" "blue room" and "red
ROOM" and is very handsome and i'm
posing. 1t has been the scene of
many brilliant social events.
Col. James Thompson married a
daughter of Col. Burroughs, then COM
mander of the marine corps. They
were blessed with an only child, a
daughter, who was noted for her
grace and beauty, as well as for her
brilliancy of mind. She married at an
early age M. Hersout, a member of
the French legation. They resided for
some years at the old home with the
parents of the beautiful child-wife,
and were the center of very brilliant
social circle, their fetes and outdoor
entertainments given in the elegant
and spacious grounds of "The Little
White House." being the features of
society. Shortly after the marriage,
Hersout was ordered to South Amer
lea, and he took with him when he
went his wife. While there she died
in childbirth. For some reason Mrs.
Thompson, her mother, who still re-
sided at the old mansion, would not
believe that her child was dead, but
became possessed of an idea that her
husband had placed her in some con-
vent in South America that he might
be free to pay mis- addresses to some
dark-eyed beauty in the Spanish Amer
lean court.
In order to Salty the mother of the
truth of his assertions and that her
child was not pining in the captivity
of South American convent, Her
sout resorted to an expedient as hor-
rible and novel as it was successful.
He had the heart of his wife and that
of her babe removed from their bodies,
preserved in spirits, and, after proper
certification by the Spanish authori-
ties at the city where the death occur
red, forwarded them to the parents
without preliminary notice. They ar
rived, and the package was opened in
the pres ence of the mother, without a
word of warning or even suspicion
of its contents.
The shock was SO great that it I'M
settled her reason, and she was never
herself again. She shut herself up in

How to Mix Paints.

The following table, the source of
which we are not able to trace at this
moment, though we can Vouch for its
trustworthiness, will be found ser
Viceable, especially to amateurs, as
showing how simple pigments are to
to be mixed for producing compound
colors:
Buff.-Mix white, yef.o-.. ochre and
red.
--~Cheol44C.-Red, black and yellow.
Chocolate.-Raw lumber, red and
black.
Claret.-Red, lumber and black.
Copper.-Red, yellow and black.
Dove.-White, verm1lion, blue and
yellow.
Drab-White, yellow ochre, red and
black.
Fawn-White, yellow and red.
Flesh-White, yellow ochre and
Freestone-Red, black, yellow ochre
and white.
French White, Prussian blue
and lake.
Gray-White lead and black.
Gold-White, stone ochre and red.
Green Bronze Chrome green, black,
yellow.
Green Pea-White and chrome
green.
Lemon-White and chrome yellow.
Limestone yellow ochre,
black and red.
Olive. = Yellow, blue, black and
white.
Orange-Yello and red.
Peach.-White and vermillion.
Pearl.-White, black and blue.
Pink.-White, vermillion and lake.
Purple.-Violet,, with more red and
white.
Rose White and madden lake.
Sandstone.-W White, yellow ochre,
black and red.
Snuff.-YelIow and Vandyke brown.
Violet.-Red, blue and white.
In the combinations of colors re-
quired to produce q desired tint, the
tirst-named color is always the princi-
pal ingredient, and the others follow
in the order of their Importance.
Thus, in mixing a limestone tint,
white is the principal ingredient, and
red the color of which the least is
needed. The exact proportions of
each color must be determined by ex-
pertinent with small quantity. It
is best to have the principal
ingredient thick and add to it the
other paints thinner.

An EdifOr,s Life

One of the beauties and charms of
an editors life is in his deadbeating IS
on all occasions. No one who has
never feasted on the sweatest of that
bliss can beginn to take in the glory
of its happiness. He does 800 worth
of advertising for railroad, gets a
"pass" for year, rides $25 worth and
then he is looked upon as dead beat
or a halfblown deadbeat. He "puffs"
concert troupe $40 worth and gets
81 in complimentaries, and is thus
passed free" IF the hall is crowded
he is begrudged the room he occu-
pies, for if his complimentaries were
paying tickets the troupe would be so
much in pocket. He blows and puffs
a church festival free to any desired
extent and does the poster printing at
half rates, and rarely gets a "thank
you" for it. 1t goes as part of his
duty as an editor. He does more
work gratuitously for the town and
community than all the rest of the
population put together, and gets
cursed for it all, while in many in
stances where a man who donates a
few dollars to a Fourth of July cele-
bration, base ball club or church is
gratefully remembered. Oh, it is a
sweet thing to be an editor. He
passes ''free." YOU knoW,-EX.

To Cure Stammering.

DR.. Dio Lewis, in his magazine,
gives rule for the cure of stammer-
ing. which is certainly simple enough,
and which the doctor says has cured
three-fourths of all the cases he has
treated. The stammerer is made to

he is to beat on every syllable. He
should begin by reading one of the
Psalms, striking the finger on the
knee at every word. "Time can be
Marked" says the doctor, "by striking
the finger on the knee, by hitting the
thumb against the foreinger, or by
moving the large toe in the boot"

A Proposed New Metlod.
NEW Yo,.I, Times i

Mahone's career has simply shown
that the Southern whites cannot
be seriously divided by such men as
he with such methods as his. It re-
mains to be seen if they can be divided
by honest men and decent methods,
not as Southerners or onIany sectional
question, but as American citizens on
the broad question of good govern
ment. It was an insult TO them and
a disgrace to those who took part in it
to try to divide them on the question
of Reputation. That experiment was
not less stupid than rascally, and no
honest Republican has any regret for
its failure. There now remains but
one course, to appeal to the South pre-
cisely as to the North, on living issues,
addressing men of both races and of
all parties. candidly, openly, without
fear or favor. That such an appeal
would produce a satisfactory result
we have but little doubt, but what
ever its result, there would be one
supreme satisfaction in it-no one
would need to be ashamed of it.

THE conference Of glass manufac-
turers and workmen of Pittsburg
reached no settlement. Thomas B,
Atterbury, a prominent glass manu-
facturer, declares, in an interview,
that he and many other glass and iron
manufacturers have come to the con-
clusion that protective tariff does
not protect, and that revival in the
glass and iron trades cannot be hoped
for until all tariff restrictions are re-
moved. The Augusta Chronicle will
say that these practical men are
wrong, and do not understand their
own business, as is the sad case of the
cotton spinners of the South. Never
theless, their words have considerable
weight, and strengthens the demand
for tariff revision.

A novel and curious surgical opera
ton was performed in Syracuse, N.
Y, Wednesday. A workman fell
from the roof of house so feet thigh,
and his neck was dislocated precisely
as if it had been done by hanging. He
was completely paralyzed in his body
and limbs, and was devoid of sensa-
ton, but could speak. Four stout
men were put to pulling-two at his
head and two at his feet-While the
doctor pushed the bones into place.
1t took nearly three holrs to set his
neck, but as soon as the operation was
completed, and the pressure on the
spinal marrow removed, the man sat
up and said he felt better, and his re-
covery is confidently expected. Sci
ence may yet devise some means of
cheating the gallows out of its vic
Tins.
