Abolish Mourning Clothes.

Much might be done toward abolishing the
custom of mourning by means of arbitrary
methods of clothing if people, when making
their wills, would add few words to the
effect that they wished their relatives to
make no change in. their dress, writes Lady
Habbertan in The Womans World 1t is
quite impossible to believe that any one can
derive pleasure from the thought that his or
her death will entail a certain amount of dis
comfort on their dearest friends True grief
would also be more fittingly shown by people
going about in their quiet, every day gar
ments than by suddenly budding out in fresh
dresses.
This wonld also have the advantage of
doing away with the absurdity of seeing peo-
pie who, though relations in blood, are, in
reality, strangers, pretending to be distressed
by the demise of relatives they have either
never seen or at least not known, in the com
mon acceptation of the term. Why pre-
tense of mourning, under these circumstances,
is considered so peculiarly gratifying and
consolatory to the immediate family is one
of those things that must forever remain a
mystery; and though there is every reason
why those who have lost one who is dear to
them should be left i'll peace until time has
somewhat deadened the pain of grief, there
is no reason why a system should be upheld
which practically sacrifices the living to the
dead

!Rexsr and the Cold Bath.

The most rapid and certain way Of alb
stracting heat from the body is by the cold
bath. Within few years this has been ex-
tensively used in the treatment of typhoid
fever. 1t is, however, by no means new.
In 1TT7 DIR. William Wright, who afterward
became president of the College of Physf
clans, Edinburgh, was attacked with fever
on shipboard On the fifth day he caused
himself to be douched with cold salt water,
and continued this REPEATEDLY for several
days with the happiest results. A few years
later u7S7-92 the celebrated DR.. Currie
employed the cold bath in l53 recorded cases
of fever. Recent statistics compiled by Dr.
Simon Baruch are simply astounding in their
results
In 2,15O eases of typhoid fever, collected
from various sources by Brand, which were
treated with "strict cold baths" before the
fifth day, there did not occur a single death
In lS,Gl2 cases under different methods OF
treatment, collected by Murchison, the rate
of mortality was 1882 per cent. The revival
of the treatment of typhoid fever by the cold
bath dates from publication by DR.. Brand
in 1861. The routine of this treatment is to
immerse the patient in bath, at tempera'
ture of 20 degrees, for fifteen minutes every
three hours, so long as his temperature is as
high as l03 degrees 1t is, Of course, essen
tial that patients be placed in the bath and
removed from the bath to the bed with the
least possible fatigue.

AbOut Brains.

1t has been estimated that we get a
complete new outfit of brains about
every two months. The duration of a
nerves life is about sixty days. Each
nerve cell has it's own independent
functions, subordinate to the higher
functions of the whole brain zen
masse;" and the latter acts as sort of
boss or overseer to the individual actions
and life of each separate cell. Every
cell is destroyed and renewed every two
months, so we each get six brand new
brains per year.-Medical World.

She Was Tired of 1t.

"Mr. Smthers," said his wife, "if l re-

herself into print.

"And you don't see how any man could al

"Well, Mr.. Smithers, in view of all the
facts in the case, | feel justified in asking you
for new silk dress"
"a new silk dress!"
Eyes; for the last eight years have had
nothing better than Scent calico, and want
something else. I'm tired of getting into

Iron VS.. Wooden Sleepers
A few years ago the German railway
companies were convinced that iron
sleepers were superior to wooden ones
In 1SS5-S6 there were laid ON the German
lines 2,462, 900 new wooden sleepers and
1,007. 152 iron ones; but in the following
year there were only S6S, 1868 iron sleepers
used, against 1,544, 992 wooden ones
Last year there were 1877, 424 wooden
sleepers laid and only 750,670 iron ones.
The use of wood for sleepers seems, there.
fore, to be gradually increasing in Ger.
many and the employment of iron dimin-
ishing. The French railway companies
have always opposed the use of iron
sleepers in France, but they make less
objection to them in Algeria, where the
extreme heat makes their application
more proftable.-New York Telegram.

Forests Heirs.

Frank Lawlor, who will be remember
ed by old theatre goers, is now an inmate
of the Edwin Forrest home for aged
actors and actresses, in Philadelphia. In
speaking of the place to Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer
he said: 1--WE feela if we were really
Forests heirs" Everything, he adds,
is done for the inmates. They are well
clothed and fed, and supplied with pocket
money, and there are no unnecessary and
irksome regulations. The old ladies were
dressed in "silks and satins," and sug-
gested to Mr.. Palmer number of dow
ayers receiving guests rather than being
themselves recipients of bounty.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

In Nevada electricity runs the very
