slightly streaked with white or coored lines;
but the origin of the word is to most persons
q mystery, and is rather curious. The term
took its rise in France about one hundred and
thirty years ago, and was occasioned by the
nation being at that time In a state Of finan-
ciai distress under the administration Of N.
de Silhouette. That gentleman endeavorei
by severe economy TO remedy the evils OF
war which had just terminated, leaving the
country In great exhaustion During the
period Of n de Silhouetteis government all
the fashions in Paris took the character Of
parximony. Coats without folds were worn:
snuff boxes were made Of plain wood. and,
instead Of painted portraits. outlines only
were drawn in probe, and filed with india
ink. etc. All these fashions were called q Ia
Silhouette; but the name was only retained
In the case Of the profiles. which, from their
simplicity and the cheap manner in which
they could be executed, survived the perie.l

The COMPASSION or the scorn with which
the masculine mind regards the female of the
race BEGINS 50 early in life that it is most
difficult 10 say whether 1t is the result Of imi
tation or Is one OF the gifts OF intuition. The
small boy feels himself superior to his little
sister quite without regard to whether he or
she is the more clever He In he and she ID
only she
A small 5-ycar old lad, in whom this sense
Of masculine superiority was not wholly lack
ing, was one day arrayed in his first trousers
Standing before his sister. couple Of years
younger he drew himself up for her inspec-
ton. and then proceeded to address her to
this effect.
"Kitiie," he said, you can't never wear
trousers"
He pausd, apparently TO let his words take
their full effect
"Kittic." he continued. you can't never
have mustache.r
He paused again and let this dreadful an
nounccment in its turn eat into his sister
soul. then he brought out the climax with q
triumphant thrill In his voice more eloquent
than any words could have been;
"Kittie, you cant never be man nonow :
Poor. small Kittie. overwhelmed by these
successive statements. Of which she coinfre
hende,i the import only as something IN
speakably dreadful. and took that from the
tone, probably, rather than from the words,
locked at her brother one agonized moment
and then gave vent to her anguish in one
wild howl, which brought nurse from one
direction and mamma from another. At
sight Of the audience Kittie burst into tears
and lamentations piteous to behold, and
when the small boy was reproved for making
his sister cry, his answer was;
well, Just told her she'd always got to
I've a girl, cause ! thought she'd be disap-
pointed II she got to be five and couldn't
have on trousers"
There seemed to be nothing in particular
which could he said to this. and the elders de-
voted themselves to assuaging the grief Of
the small girl MS well a. they might. leaving

A $l,500,OO0 MEMORIAL.
Proposed Commemoration of Great
Events in Our Country's History.

The Governors of the thirteen original
States who werein Philadelphia in Septem-
Der, 1887, during the time of the Constitu-
tional centennial celebration, have held sew
eral conferences for the purpose of deVising
some plan to commemorate in fitting man
ner the great events in the history of the
United States in the first one hundred years
of American independence.
1t was agreed that the best method would
be to secure from Congress return of the
sum of 81 500, 900 loaned by the Government
to the Centennial Commission in 1876 and
afterward returnd by that body to the Treas
ury, the money to be used for the erection of
q memorial in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia.
A meeting presided over by Governor
Beaver was held on the Fourth in Indepen-
dence Hall, where Congress first assembled,
at which representatives of the thirteen
original States were present. A committee
was instructed to prepare bill, to be pre-
sented to Congress at its next session, asking
that the 81, 500. 900 be given back to be used
for the purpose indicated above.

How to- Build Up the Teeth.

Teeth are just as easily starved to
death as the stomach. If we do not
furnish to the teeth of the young that
pabulum they require, they cannot
possibly be built up. 1t is the outside
of corn, oats, wheat, barley, and the
like, or the bran so-called, that we sift
away and feed to the swine. that the
teeth actually require for their proper
nourishment These fouring-mills are
working destruction upon the teeth of
every man, woman, and child who par
takes of their fine bolted flour. They
sift out the carbonates and the phos-
phates of lime in order that they may
brovide that fine white -four which is
brewing a whitened sepulcher to teeth.
iOat meal is one of the best foods for
supplying the teeth with nourishment.
1T makes the dentine, cementum, and
enamel strong, fint-like, and able to
resist allforms of decay. If you have
children, never allow any white bread
mon your table. Bread made of whole
wheat ground, not bolted, so that the
beari which contains the minute guam
tities of lime is present, is best. Baked
heass, too, have considerable supply
of tEse lime salts, and should be on
youY table, hot or cold, three times a
week In brus hing the teeth, always
brush up and down from the gum in
stead ot across. american A4aalyist.

Silk Threads i'm Bank Notes.

The paper on which bank notes are
printed is called obstructive paper"
being used exclusively by the Govern
ment for the printing of bonds and cur
rent notes. The mills where it is manu-
factured are at Glen Falls, Chester
County, Pa. An agent of the Treasury
Department receives the paper direct
from the hands of the manufacturer,
and every precaution is observed in
order to prevent any loss. Short scraps
of red silk are mixed with the liquid
pulp in an engine. The finished ma
terial is conducted to a wire cloth with
out passing through any screens, which
might retain the silken threads. An
arrangement above the wire cloth
scatters shower of fine scraps of blue
silk thread, which fall upon the paper
while it is being formed. The side on
which the blue silk is deposited is used
for the back of the notes, and the
threads are so deeply imbedded as to
remain permanently fixed. Each sheet
is registered as soon as it is made.

HON. FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
tFrom Petersburg, Va, Lancet, June go

iFrom Petersburg, Va, Lancet, June 22d,
1897
There has been considerable rot pub
lished about an alleged snub given the
Hon. Frederick Douglass by ex-senator
Malone.
The distinguished gentleman Doug
lass) now comes to the front himself and
emphatically denies the statement. He
says that not only has he not been snubbed
by Malone but he stands ready to APP
prove and second the efforts of the Vir-
ginia leader. Mr.. Douglass believes that
Malone is right and he has the courage
to say so. He believes that Malone is
honestly endeavoring TO build up a strong
Republican party in this State-such a
party as will not tolerate the Southern
methods of controlling elections. In
this Mr.. Douglass shows himself to be
the great man the world to-day ac-
knowledges him to be.

A Remarkable Resuscitation.

There are many instances on record of
recovery of infants and young children
after the heart had apparently ceased to
beat for long time, says DR.. J. W
Greene, in the New York World. Au-
thorities consider two minutes is suffi-
cient to produce death, if air be en-
tirely excluded, but in case of drowning
there is one case where it is stated that
there was entire submersion for an hour
This would be remarkable case.
will relate tase in point. A few
years since was walking by the Cen
trail Park near One Hundred and Tenth
street and Fifth avenue. Noticing a.
crowd that was acting in an unusual
manner by the side of the lake, ! ap-
preached it and inquired of one of the
bystanders what was the cause of the
excitement. He replied, GA boy is,
drowned" advanced to the edge of
the water, and saw two or three men in,
the water searching for the body.
As they had not yet discovered it
I made inquiries, and found at
last small boy who had been a com
rade of the victim. He showed me the
spot from which the boy had fallen. i
then pointed out to the searchers where
to look, and Immediately the body was
recovered. I took it from the hands
of the person who had it, and held it
reversed in order te disembarrass it of
all the water possible, for minute or
two, then stripped it of its clothing,
sent for blanket and brandy. I took
a woollen coat from one of the bystand-
ers until the blanket should arrive, laid
the child upon it and commenced to 70
tate it. This I continued to do for at
least fifteen minutes by the watch.
then tried auscultation; no murmur could
be heard.
The skin was cold, the lips were blue
Every artery was still. With all these
signs of death present it was still obli-
gatory upon me to persevere. AT the
end of fifteen minutes there was
slight gasp. A small quantity of brandy
was placed upon the tongue. A little
bit of this ran into the larynx and the
stimulation was sufficient to produce
long inspiration and then cough.
This was more than half-hour from
the time when the boy had been re-
moved from the water. Complete res
toration did not occur until nearly an
hour from that time He was now
given to his mother, and was informed
on the following day that he entirely re-
covered, without an unfavorable symp-

Ancient Babylon.

Babylon, the great city of the Chal-
deans, was five times as large as the
London of to-day. Its walls were as
high as lofty church steeples-330 feet
above the ground. The palace Of
Nebuchadnezzar, the destroyer of Jeru-
salem, was seven miles in circumference
The bed of the great Euphrates was
paved with bricks. The palaces and
temples were full of wonderful triumphs
of painter, sculptor and of libraries of
history, science and letters. The Baby
lonians were astronomers of great pro-
fciency, considering the age in which
they lived, and they watched the move
ments of the heavenly bodies with in
tense interest and recorded them with
accuracy. The moon was the object Of
their especial regard, and her changes
were noted with unfagging assiduity
and recorded in calendars. They called
her the father of the sun. - Globe Dem
