The Medical Uses of Eggs.

For burns and scalds there is moth
ing more soothing than the white of
an egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish for a
burn than collodion, and, being al
ways on hand, can be applied immedi-
ately. 1t is also more cooling than
the "sweet oil of cotton" which was
formerly supposed to be the surest ap-
plication to allay smarting pain. 1t
is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort eXpe-
rienced from ordinary accidents of
this kind, and anything which eX-
cludes air and prevents infiam-
nation is the thing to be at once ap-
piled. The egg is also considered one
of the best remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up lightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at gulp, it
tends, by its emollient qualities, to
lessen the Inflammation OF the stom-
ach and intestines, and by forming a
transient coating on these organs to
ENABLE nature to assume her health
full sway over the diseased body.
Two, or at most three, eggs per day
would be all that would be required
In ordinary cases, and since the egg is
not merely a medicine, but food as
well, the lighter the diet otherwise.

PERSONAL.

1t is said that Miss Mary Anderson
and her parents have been very care
full to avoid anything that would look
like coming under the patronage Of
the Prince of Wales.
Mile. Modjeska and her husband
and son are now American citizens.
Count BoZenta secured his full
naturalization papers recently in San
Francisco, taking with him when he
went for them, he says, "both a Re
publican and a Democrat, so as to be
sure of it"
1t is touching in these days of east
ly shifting affection to find a man so
devoted to the wife who had shared
his lot for twenty years that her
death should rob life of all its joys.
Joseph Gillick, of New York, became
respondent after his Wife's death and
committed suicide.
Mrs. Sydna B. Angel, who died at
North Providence Saturday in the
ninety-third year of her age, took part
in the historical obsequieS known as
the mock funeral of George Washing
ton, a circumstance which she men,
toned within recent months, her
memory on the subject being appa-
rently clear.
Young Mrs. Susan E. Roberts, a
summer guest at Saratoga, accom-
panied an excursion party to Lake
George, and, in the words of one OF
her companions, was "the gayest of
the gay" throughout the entire trip
On the return of the party Mrs. Rob-
erts took arsenic and died, leaving a
letter to her absent husband, the con-
tents of which are unknown.

Bleaching Snonees.

The following process was, says
New Remedies, devised by Mr.. John
Borham, and has been in use in Belle
vile hospital for a considerable, time:
Soak the sponges, previously de-
priyed of sand and dirt by beat ing
and washing, in one per cent solu-
ton of permaganate of potassium.
Then remove them, wash them thor
oughly with water, and press ont the
water. Next put them into a solution
of one-half pound of hyposulphite of
sodium in one gallon of water, to
which one ounce of oxalic acid has
been added, and leave them in the
solution for fifteen minutes. Finally,
take them out and wash them
thoroughly.
BY this treatment the sponges are
rendered perfectly white. Many
spongeS contain more or less dark.
colored brownish core. If treated
only with permanganate and acid, the
core is either not bleached at all, or if
it has been somewhat bleached, the
tiat is apt to grow again darker,
By the above modification, every por-
ton of the sponge is rendered white,
and remains 81.

GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, Sept. 13-Deeds for
the Virginia Point property, pur-
chased by Huntington, show that the
land has a frontage of two and a
quarter miles on Galveston bay. The
consideration specified is the projec-
ton and completion of certain i'm
provement, supposed to consist of
the building of wharves and the deep

vessels can land there.
The steamship Neto arrived this
evening from Liverpool, loaded with
salt, 10000 bundles of cotton ties and
1000 packages of general cargo, chief

first of a monthly line of steamers
from Liverpool to Galveston. Not
withstanding the lack of water on
the bar, this monthly line is an.
nounced to be the initial step to some.
thing still better and permanent, and
will eliminate in the founding of q
regular line of steam transportation
between this Fort and Liverpool.

Volunteer Collectors.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE rumor
of a defalcation from 100000 to
100000 in the water registers Office
of the bureau of the department of
public works, created some stir to-day.
Commissioner Thompson says there
is but little in it; he was investigat-
ing the matter at present and had
nothing more to say. The mayor said
Thompson had spoken to him some
time ago about one or more persons
who had been feloniously collecting
water rents around the city and Civ
ing receipts for them in the name Of
the department, but he didn't know
how much money had been SO col
lected. The city he said couldn't pos
sibly lose a cent, as all unpaid water
rents are lien on the property and a
bar to clear title in case of sales.
All bills and notices of the depart
ment contained printed instructions
that water rents must only be paid at
the registers office. The mayor said
there was no necessity of his ordering
an investigation.

disc transactions outside of New y Ork,
as indicated by bank exchanges show
considerable increase with a light de-
crease in New Y ork owing probably to
exceptional causes. Rumors to dam

feet of stimulating speculation i'm
that staple and advancing prices. Tht
same remark applies to cotton, which
is active and higher. Some improve
ment is noted in the iron trade, with
tirmer prices. There is better feel
ing in oil, prices being well supported
and business active. Grocery trade
is satisfactory. Business at the stock
exchange has been large with great
improvements in prices and securities.
Money is plenty and at low rdtes. AL

An AnecdOte OF Early Days.

A representative of THE STATES
NAN learned of a bit of history in re-
gard to the early times in this city
that will be read with good deal of
interest just now. Shortly after the
capitol was located in Austin there
was very eccentric member known
as "Stuttering Bill" Bill not only
suffered, but he would sometimes
get drunk, and when under the infu
ence of liquor he was given to a great
deal of speech-making. No matter
how trivial the subject before the
house was, he would have long
speech to make-or rather he
would have one he would
try to make, for he suffered so badly
that it was painful to listen to him.
some enthusiastic member in some
remarks he had made threw out the
suggestion, that it would be a grand
thing to cut a canal through the state,
and insinuated that with compare
tive little expense the Colorado river
could be turned into riVer-canal cap
able of light navigation. Suffering
Bill had been drinking as usual and
the proposition struck him as so ex-
tremely ridiculous that he could not
resist the temptation to make a speech
When the member had finished Bill
staggered to his feet and bracing him.
self up the best he could said !:
Mr.. Sp-p-kerl If LII under
stood the member cor-r-r-rectly, he
wants to build a canal. Not only
does he want to build a c-c-canal, but
he wants to build a wall along the
C-c-c-c-orad-d-do on both banks, and
make canal of that too. Now that
strikes MIME as right smart thing
to do. But see one objection to the
project. J-j-i-ust one. Pm drunk,
but can see one-a Little one, and
that is: a-a-al the men in Texas
couldn't build it in 10000 years. and
where will we 'uns be by that time :
LII s-s-s-shall vote agin it," And he
took his seat amid roars Of laughter
that made the old building ring.

Fort WORTH, Sept. IA At 10
o'clock tonight two young mechanics.
L. Kunkel and P. A. Tranly, Prus-
sian and a Frenchmap, became in
volved in an angry alteration over
the respective merits OF the two ma
tionalities, when Kunkel said that any
German could down a Frenchman,
when he whipped out his knife and
stabbed Tranly in the right side, be-
tween the second and third rib, the
knife penetrating the cavity, inflict-
ing a wound from which Tranly will
probably die. DR.. A. D. Ansel was
called in hastely and dressed the
wound.

Hat Factories Burned.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA fire this
morning destroyed the Brooklyn felt
hat works of VIM. A. Boglin & Co.,
and the novelty straw hat factory,
owned by Chas. E. Everett, of Brook
Ign. The fire broke out first last
night and was extinguished, as it was
thought, with a loss of $4,000 on the
building, and $4,000 on the stock and
machinery. The fire again broke
out at 6 o'clock this morning,
and the structure was all in
flames before the fremen arrived.
The factory, together with two frame
buildings in the rear, belonging to
the same company was demolished.
Loss on building is estimated at $20,-
900; on machinery, $4,000; on stock,
$4,000. The flames then extended
to the Novelty straw hat fac
tory adjoining, and pretty well gut
ted the place. Everett said his
loss on buildings will be about ST.
600, and loss on stock and machinery
from $4,000 to $4,000. They en-
ployed about 200men. A full force of
hands had been ordered to work on
Monday. Everett does not think his
insurance is sufficient to cover his
loss. The Brooklyn felt hat works
were only partially insured. This
factory was destroyed twice before by
fire. 1t lost $4,000 last year by bad
business. About 125 men were en-
ployed here. The fire last night origi-
mated in the engine room. The
origin of the fire in the morning is
unknown.

The Worship of Cholera.

In Lower Bengal, DR.. Mcnamara
a great authority, whose "History of
Asiatic Cholera" is a textbook on the
book it is-saying that the natives
the Goddess of Cholera as the COLA
Beehee, whose temple is at Calcutta.
The tradition is that at an early peri
cd, the date of which cannot now be
observation-disclosures upon a time"-a
female, while wondering about in the
woods, met with a large stone, the
symbol of the goddess of cholera, and
it became prevalent idea among the
Hindoos that the worship Of the diety
through this stone was the only
means of preservation from
the influence of disease. AS the fame
of the goddessIspread, peoples1ocked
from all parts of the country to her
shrine at Calcutta. Apart from the
period of a cholera epidemic the tenn
pie was most frequented by pilgrims
in the months Of April, May and June.
The votarIes of the goddess fast in
the morning and evening, partaking
of a dish of crushed rice and dhahee, a
preparation of milk, at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, At the time of which
DR.. Mcnamara writes between 300
and 400 females used to worship after
this fashion every Tuesday and Satur-
day. All of these used to bring
offerings. The idol was at one period
productive of a large income to the
priestly family into whose possession
it had passed, but latterly the income
has only amounted to between EDO
and e40 a year. Originally the home
of the idol was under bamboo shed,
but about 1920 an English merchant,
to give pleasure to his native friends,
built temple for it. This becoming
inconveniently situated thirty years
later, Mr.. Duncan, who had mar
ried Mohammedan lady, erected
the temple at present in use,
his contributions amounting to $500.
1.-The old rude stone was transferred
to the new temple, and a somewhat
elaborate idol constructed. 1t repre-
sents in the centre carcass, with a
vulture preying upon it. Upon the
back of the vulture the goddess, with
folded hands, is represented in sit
ting posture. On her right is Num-
sha, the goddess of serpents; next to
her is SILVA, the destroying principle.
Next comes female in suppliant
posture, and male affected with the
disease; the female is supposed to be
praying to SILVA for the recovery of
her husband. On the left of the god
dess are the idols of Sheetola, the god
dess of smallpox, and of Shustee, the
goddess presiding over infants and
