MRS. MAcKAY's TRIUMPH.
A Flank Movement That Captured the
Prince of Wales.


bic: Mrs. Mackay took flyer this
week, which has become the prevail
ing topic of conversation in the So
cial world, and which has created a
tremendous sensation among the
American set. Last season there
was a wild attempt made to crowd
Mrs. Mackay into the background,
and this year the movement was
beginning to develop into open hos
tility. For some time past the ru-
NOR has been current, and has even
crept into print, that the Prince of
Wales and all the Marlborough
House set intended to give Mrs.
Mackay the cut direct.
A few days ago one of the shin
ing lights of the American colony
was riding with Mrs. Mackay in her
carriage, and feltitincumbent upon
her to tell Mrs. Mackay as gently
as possible of the intended royal
snub. Mrs. Mackay promptly re-
sponded by giving this lady an in
vitation to come to her house after
dinner on Wednesday evening last
to meet the Prince of Wales, who
was going to dine with her on that
night. Mrs. Mackay thoroughly
understood the true social signifi-
canoe of her bold stroke to assert
her position in the London world,
and her dinner to the Prince on
Wednesday night was a marvel.
The guest of the evening to meet
the Prince, 80 far as Americans
were concerned, was Mrs. Edward
Jafray, who sat near him, and with
whom H. R. H. was very much
pleased. Lady Playfair and Lady
Randolph Churchill were also pres
ent. The house was perfect par
| adise Of flowers. Table decorations
we're of pale yellow roses and or
chids. The staircase from the en-
trance hall to the ballroom flight
was banked with the choicest exot-
les. The ballroom was hung with
pink roses and smilax, and in each
window were gilded stands holding
immense punches of pink roses and
white orchids tied with long ribbons.
Mrs. Mackay's dress was brought
from Paris for the occasion. 1t was
of white satin, embroidered with
white lilies of the valley and leaves
in their natural colors. She car
ried bouquet of the same flowers:
Her ornaments were pearls and
diamonds. Lady Randolph Chur-
chill was superbly dressed in pale
yellow. After dinner Mrs. Mackay
gave a concert, and sent over to
Paris for distinguished artists from
the theatres and operas there to
take part in it.
A short piece, performed by mem
bers of the Paris Opera Comique,
cost alone nearly $4,000. An Amer
lean girl, Mercedes Leigh, was per-
mitted to give some recitations.
Among the Americans invited to
meet the Prince at the concert were
Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. Jerome, Mr..
and Mrs. Morton Frewen, Mrs.
Cavendish Bentinck, Mrs. Horne
Payne, Miss Balch, Mr.. George w.
Smalley and Mr.. Albert Van Wag-
ner. Sir Julian and Lady Paunce-
fote were there too. The Prince s
supper was served in room apart
from that of the other guests, and
he was allowed to invite his own
party. He paid Lady Randolph
the compliment of sending for her
from the general supper-room and
of asking her to sup with him
Mrs. Mackay is not going to be
socially crushed this season at least

TUBERCULOUS DISEASE.
The Transmission of Phthisis Between
Man and Beast.

The Transmission of Phthisis Between
Man and Beast
DR.. G. F. Brush, of New York, has
collected large number OF statistics,
by which he seeks to prove that tuber-
culoas disease in man is closely con-
nected with the same disease in cat
tie. This theory is contrary to the
view generally held, it being supposed
that, owing to difference in normal
temperature, transmission of phthlsis
between man and beast would be next
to impossible. But DR.. Brush's sta
tistics show that where cattle are COM
mon. and dairy produce necessarily
forms regular part of the daily food
OF the people, there may be found the
victims of consumption. In other dis
tricts where the dairy COW is absent.
there is also an absence of phthisis.
Statistics are VIGOROUSLY uncertain in
the evidence which they afford, and
further inquiry is needed before the
theory enunciated by DR.. Brush can be
accepted.

HOW TO DlSiNFECT.
The Bcst Ways of Killing Disease Germs
in Clothing aud Rooms.


Clothing which requires dislnfect-
ing should be submitted for about
three hours 10 a temperature OF 25C
degrees in a chamber charged with
sulphuric fumes from large quantity
of sulphur. The chamber should be
so constructed as to prevent the fumes
from passing off No germs can
stand this. .
After a room has been used by a
person sick with any contagious dis.
ease, it becomes necessary to disinfect
it before it is fit to be used again.
This is done by removing and burning
the paper on the walls, removing the
bedsteads and other furniture, and ex"
posing them to air and wind, and CIV
ing them a fresh coat OF varnish; by
having the mattress made over new
and the hair boiled; by burning in the
room three pounds of sulphur, aud by
whitewashing, painting and papering
the room anew.
Now that it is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply in the lungs. method
of disinfectipg them which shall be
harmless has been sought for, but as
yet without avail. The vapor Of
creosote, the oil Of the eucalyptus and
carb lie acid have been tried, ana. to
some extent, they may paralyze or
stun the germs and prevent their
rapid increase, hut as the passages Of
the lungs are delicate and the vapor
can not be brought very near to them
without injury, the good effects are
slight. But there is one method
which can not fail to prove beneficial,
and that is the inhalation of large
quantities of fresh. pure air. This is
worth more than any disinfectant for
the lungs, and can do no harm. -Prac-

Pedigree is alike an advantage to

and to the sheep itself. Taking these
In their order: When the breeder con-
templates buying ram to improve his
stock, as should be the aim OF every
sheep-raiser. he goes TO breeder who
pays strict attention to the breeding OF
the kind of sheep he intends to buy.
II he sees an animal that pleases him,
he asks: How is it bredp and if the ped
igree can be shown that gives as the
sire and dam animals well-known as
prize-winners, or from prize stock. he
is satisfied to pay big price.
Those who own sheep and have stock
for sale will find that registered stock
can be sold for nearly three times the
price OF grades. 1t is well-known
fact that no matter what breeder
may say regarding the quality or in
dividual merit OF his flock, or the
statement that 'they are full blood,
but can not be recorded, as no pedi-
grees have been kept of the different
animals" he can not sell them for half
the price they would bring if they
were recorded. The average price Of
pure-bred sheep, without pedigrees
emitting them to registry, is eight
dollars, and the average price of reg
istered sheep is thirty-fve dollars. The
one kind eat just as much as the other
and it takes about the same amount OF
time and labor to raise them. Then it
is certainly great advantage to the
breeder to be able to record his flock
by having a reliable pedigree for each
sheep.
Pedigreed sheep undoubtedly get bet.
ter care than their common-bred rela-
tives, and fare better, as their pedi-
grees show that they can boast of SUI
peru lineage. From the time a pedi-
greed lamb is dropped its extra care
is marked, for if a shepherd has a
choice pedigreed breeding eve, he will
ascertain to day when she will lamb,

that lamb will never be left on frozen
ground, but will be wrapped in an

avoid too close inbreeding and to use

publishing to the world that his stock
is as good as he can afford to buy.
1t is hoped that every sheep-breedel
will keep accurate records of his flock
that he may satisfy the inquiries o.
buyers; establish his representation:
as to pedigrees, improve his aock by
getting meritorious stock and give
such sheep the care that well-bred ami
