of city life, should be observed. so that strict
ly legitimate and necessary Sunday vocations
may not be interfered with. These vacations
are generally pursued in quiet way, for a
short time only in the early part of the day,
and in such . way as not to interfere with any
ones rights or violate the sanctities of the
day. A Sunday law should be so framed as
to recognize these conditions of society. 1t
does not follow that any immunity in this re-
gard should be extended to the business of
selling intoxicating liquors. That is bust
ness which the law should keep its hand on at
all times, and most of all on Sunday. The
existing conditions of society do not require
that men should be made drunk at any time,
and least of all on day which, by common
consent Of the civilized world, not to speak of
higher authority, is set apart as day of wor-
ship, rest and quiet.

THE annual report of the Boston Board of
Police Commissioners referring to the new
Interpretation of the Sunday laws, by which
certain vocations heretofore practiced in
quiet way on Sunday are forbidden. says:
1.-THE expression of opinion through the
public press and otherwise shows that while
there is no disposition on the part of the gen.
eral public to break down the general OBJ
servance of Sunday as day of religious wor-
ship, rest aud recreation, there is a desire
that the law should be amended so as to con-
form to the present condition of society and
the requirements of an urban population"
All laws should conform to existing condi-
tons of society. The general observance of
Sunday as day of religious worship, rest
and recreation is necessary to the welfare of
society, not to put it on any higher ground,
and in the interests of good government the
aid of law may properly be invoked to insure
a proper observance of the day. But, in SO
doing the existing conditions Of society, and

Nothing Wonderful About It.

maker, of this city, laughed heartily. yesterday,
when shown a newspaper article giving the al
legged wonderful case Of o negro man and woman
who had turned from black to white, and whose
transformation could not be explained ''It is
not an uncommon skin disease" he said. 'ard is
known as luecoderma. In white people the
skin turns milky white, but 1t is more notcea-
BILE in coored persons, of course. owing to the
contrast with the dark skin. The change of
color is caused by the destruction or rather alb.
sorption, of pigment, which is not formed again,
and is not painful The disease can only be
cured when it is attended to at the very start
1t not fatal and the only bad effect is the de-
formity or piebad color it causes. It is quite
common among the negroes in the South where
it is often produced by malaria"

THE meeting of the State Teachers Asso-
citation in this city this week is an annual
gathering which attracts less attention than
it deserves. The public-school system of In
diana is so thoroughly established and so COM
plete in its workings as to be matter Of pride
to the citizens; but this degree of excellence
has not come about of itself, nor as the result
of single-handed efforts. 1t has required the
cooperation of all the teachers, superintend-
ents and educational workers in the COM
munity. 1t is not enough that each
teacher shall comply with certain
rules and regulations already laid down
and necessary to preserve uniformity in the
methods. These rules are part of the ''sys-
tenn" but rigidly adhered to without thought
of modification or change under any circum.
stances they give that ''castiron" character to
plan which should be adjustable, and the
tendency to which causes such common COM
plant among parents. Frequent consultation
and discussion at county institutes, among
teachers and others interested has remedied
many defects in the methods adopted, and
has brought about many improvements.
To make them general, however, and to
produce harmony of action, it is necessary
that each of the varying school interests
should be considered by representa-
tives from all the districts. The
meeting of the State association affords the
opportunity for this and it is to this society,
aided by the smaller local associations of
teachers, that the value and high character of
the Indiana schools is largely due. Live
questions are discussed, and those directly af-
fecting the matters in which pupils, parents
and educators are most concerned. 1t is the
place for the consideration of new ideas and
the improvement of old methods. Whether
any suggestions are considered worthy of in
corporation in the general system or not, no
teacher can be in attendance without profit
the meeting with others engaged in the same
line of work. AS suggested recently in these
columns by member of the association,
more freedom of discussion and participation
than is now permitted might be Of advan-
tage. This could be effected by encouraging
the preparation by members of voluntary
contributions on such subjects as seemed
to the writer's to be of Importance, their
should decide, or as the time and exigencies
of the session might permit. AS it is, how
ever, it is an assembage which is OF benefit
to the State, and the members are a class Of
workers to whom all honor is due.

Always take table cloths from the line while

will permit If allowed to become perfectly
dry on the line there will be wrinkles in table

let them be dragged all out OF shape by hang

Good Taste in Perfumes.

silk and lace and Accomplishments of counter

But, added the historian, as if TO administer
the coup de grace, "all the perfume was of one
kind-the wood violet" Perhaps this writer
was not advised of the fact that ladies of taste
rarely, if ever, admix perfumes. They adopt
a favCrite extract and cling 10 it tenaciOusly.
and it forms part and parcel Of their identity
in society. The accidental meeting with a
perfume will recall "reminiscences Of years
gone by, whether it be the odor of an extract

recollections may possibly cause the heart TO

street Car Manners.

An observing woman in New York has
been remarking the number of women who
said thank you" to a gentleman relinquish-
ing his seat in crowded street cars. She took
the period from January to June, and in
ninety instances only twenty-nine murmured
an audible recognition of the favor while
eighteen mumbled something; these might
mean anything or nothing. The remaining
forty-three seemed conscious of passing
events as they took the prolfered seats: ac-
cepting them in silence and with aggravating
indifference OF the first class twenty were
brunettes; Of the second twelve We're of like
complexion, while in the last division only
seventeen were brunettes. The observer
argues that this proves more evident refine
ment and inherent politeness in the brunette
than her fairer sister. She also observed that
tall women are, as a rule, rarely thankful for
the street car favors, while short women are
profuse in their acknowledgments-Cin cin-
