A Cure for Diphtherla.

DR.. Delthil. French physician, says
that sure cure for any ordinary case
of diphtheria is to utilize the vapors OF
liquid tar and turpentine so as to dis
solve the fibrinous exudations that
choke up'the throat and lead to such
fatal results in that dreaded disease.
DR.. Delthips process is simply this
He pours equal parts of turpentlne and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the all
of the room. The patient" Deithil
says, Immediately seems to exper-
fence relief; the choking and rattle
stop; the patient falls into a slumber,
and seems to inhale the smoke with
pleasure. The ibrinous membrane
soon becomes detached. and the pa
tent coughs up mlcroblcides. These
when caus hit in a glass, may be seen
to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course of three days afterward the
patient entirely RECEIVERS" This treat
ment has been tested in New York

1t is based on the theory that dlphthe

THE KENTUCKY WOMEN.

As to women, the Kentuckian carries
his devotion to point that is delight
full, if it is absurd, says Nasty. He
loves fine woman with love that is
half reverence. He does not love her
as the lion does the lamb, to eat her,
but with an acknowledgment that she
is the superior being, that she was
created to be loved and cherished, and
| all that sort of thing, and that to love
and cherish is not only pleasure, but
the highest duty.
This comes from the fact that Ken
lucky has style of women to be found
nowhere else. Physically splendid.
they are exceedingly well endowed
mentally, and the peculiar feeling the
Kentucky gentleman has for them
makes them better than they would
otherwise be. They reciprocate the
feeling. They strive 20 be worthy the
alteration bestowed on them. They
quite understand that no man will long
worsAipa sham, even in petticoats, and
SO they do what is in them 10 be worth,
individually, the consideration the
Kentuckian feels bound to accord them
collectively.
Each woman strives to be actually
what every man in Kentucky holds il
as point of honor to consider woman
to be.
The moral to this is that if men want
women to rise to the height of their
notions, the first step TO make them SC
is to so consider them. Put the stand.
ard where you will make desperate
struggle TO reach it.

Novel Way OF Getting Winter Eggs

A. H. Kepley, Effingham, ILL.,. writes
us: A retired country merchant, in tell
ing US of his experiences thirty and
forty years ago, gave this incident
worth relating One Of his customers
brought in full basket of eggs every
week all through winter, when few
came from any other. On inqulring,
it was found that he had warm quar-
tiers for his poultry right over the pig
pen, which was only high enough for
the tallest hog to stand in. The warm
air rising from the swine through the
crevices, kept the hens SO comfortable
that they continued laying right on in
the coolest weather. Perhaps also the
near presence of the pigs may have
scared away the night prowling H.arau-
ders.

ANYTHING BUT HoUsEwoRK.

Young women 60 out TO service more
unwillingly every year. says The Hour.
And why? The root of the difficulty
lies partly in the character qof our
political and social institutions. The
opportunities for primary education
are so excellent in the United States
that poor girls are generally pretty
well educated by the time they are old
enough to live away from their homes.
They learn to read easily, and they
quickly avail themselves of the cheap
literature of this country and they
sink themselves in it Then, when it
is time to 90 out to work. they have
many lofty ideas which proven. them.
As every boy in the United States has
the privilege Of thinking that some day
he may be president, so every girl. no
matter how humble her family, thinks
she may some day marry rich man
and become fine lady. She has never
read of a fine lady who was made out
of servant in the kitchen. Cinderella
is the only exception. and we do not
believe in fairies nowadays. So in
order to be fit to be a fine lady when
the golden time comes, no girl ever
wants to be rubbed with the smut of
domestic drudgery if it can be avoided.
Anything but homework! She never
could endure, the slightly educated girl
thinks, to have it thrown up to her
after she is married that she was once
servant. Would any fine society,
she asks. be open to woman who had
once been domestic servant, no mat
ter how rich she had become? Ger
tainly not. Any woman who has once
been a servant bears the mark of me.
NAL all her life. She is more handi-
capped by that than by any little doubt
about her reputation. Thus young
American women. either of native
or foreign descent, will do any
thing rather than work in way which
may hurt their future career More
over, it will not do to jump to hasty
conclusion that such a girl is fool.
As long as our institutions exist as they
are there will be sense and fitness in
this feminine reasoning. 1t is ss true
that every. girl here has better chance
of some day being the mother of a
family, well-to-do and having social
aspirations. than every boy has of be-
ing president And it is also true that
1t will always be set down to her dis.
credit if it should be known that she
was once domestic servant. For these
reasons the young woman who is thrown
upon her own resources will work al
anything rather than 60 out to service
in household. A shop. a factory. and
sometimes much worse place is pre-
ferred.

BEAUTY AMONG AMERICAN WOMEN.
There can be no doubt that Americans
honestly believe their women to be the
most beautiful in the world; nor to
| them would there appear any eXtrava-
gance in the remark of the New York
Sun on the audience which attended
Irvings's first performance. "in respect
to the beauty it contained, far surpass-
ing any audience that Mr.. Irving ever
bowed to in his life." But the opinion
of foreigners do not speak of En-
glishmen alone-is very different; and
I have never met one who has lived
long or travelled much in America who
did not hold that female beauty in the
States is exceedingly rare, while the
average of ordinary good looks is un-
usually low. More pretty faces are to
be seen in single day in London than
in month in the States. The average
of beauty is far higher in Canada. and
the American town in which most pref
ty women are noticeable is Detroit, on
the Canadian border. and containing
many Canadian residents. In the
Western States beauty is conspicuous
by its absence, and in the Eastern
towns, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, it is chiefly to be
found. In New York in August hard
ly saw face which would be called
pretty. In November New York pre-.
sented different appearance, and
many pretty women were to be seen,
although the number was comparative
ly small. and at the Metropolitan Opera
House even American friends were I'm.
able to point out any lady whom they
could call beautiful. A distinguished
artist told me that when he first visited
America he scarcely saw in the streets
of New York a single face which he
could select as model, though he
could find twenty such in the London
street in which his studio was situated.
The American type of beauty is ex-
tremely delicate and refined, and Lon
don and Continental society will Away:
contain some American ladies who may
rank among the loveliest in the world
Such are known to us all, but are more
common in Europe than America
