onions once a week and usually Oftener.
When my sister came home from prim

Where Caution Is Needed.

There is a great deal of carelessness now
aiays in giving introductions, said a society
leader to a reporter. Formerly an intro
duction meant considerably more than it
DOW does 1t was not given lightly and al
mos. as a matter of course to any applicant.
OF late the formality Of introduction has
been much abused There is no longer the
same caution and discrimination in the mat
ter.
People will often unthinkingly introduce
% their friends the merest casual acquaint-
ancos, of whose moral and social standing
they know absolutely nothing, forgetting that
by 50 doing they are pledging their own
honor for their conduct It is Of course priu-
cipally owing to the easy and matter Of
course fashion in which introductions are
asked and obtained that adventures and for
tune hunters are able to secure footing in
good society 50 easily. II proper care were
taken 10 see that those seeking introductions
were what they pr-fessed to be, the opera

from Columbia College.
The resignation of Professor Frederick
Augustus Barnard from the presidency Of
Columbia college, which was recently an
nounced, has deprived that celebrated and
time honored institution of ono Of the most
distinguished scholars, scientists and writers
of the United States. For nearly quarter
of century Professor Barnard has been at
the head Of Columbia, and the progressive
spirit which has manifested Itself in the
councils Of the university of recent years has
been largely due to his efforts. He is a man
Of profound attachments in almost every
branch of learning, and in the course of his
eighty years OF usefulness he has written
many works on scientific subjects, some Of
them of a very abstruse nature, which are
characterized by the exhaustive research and
PENETRATING insight which 50 clearly marked
the essayists of the beginning of this century
He has been especially successful as an as
tronomer, and has made many expeditions TO

failen Into Seliishness.

Abby Morton Diaz in her remarks con
tended that the most effective work for hui
mainly is not always among tho working
women, or the repulsively bad or miserably
poor; that there arc found among the well &c
do women and the rich many whose standards
are untrue ambitions low, aims unworthy
their occupations frivolous, and their desires
centered upon self; that this class Of person;
are often more truly fallen than those We
have so often branded as such; that she is the
fallen woman who falls into seiihood, OF
who lives chiefly in her own lower nature. -

The pain caused by being severely burned
may be almost instantly relieved by apply

water mixed with as much linseed oil as it
will cut Before applying, wrap the burn in

moving cot ton from burn for nine days,
